The Doctor and the Millionaire (EDITING)

Chapter Thirty

It has been two weeks since Christians accident and Christian was still in the hospital with the hopes of being discharged today. His injuries had been healing very well and he was off pain medication. Although it had been a few weeks since the accident I was still sleeping every night at the hospital next to Christian's bedside. I had made it a routine after my twelve-hour shift to have my driver drive me home. During that time I took it myself to relax, bathe, and return to the hospital to be with Christian. Throughout the past week, detectives had been interviewing I, Christian, and our family.  Every question they asked pointed to foul play, and they were coming again tonight. The stressors from the case and Christian to working had significantly taken a toll on my body.  I and Christian wanted so badly for this situation to be handled and done, but from the looks of things, this was going to be an ongoing case. 

It was 10:00 am and Katherine and I were on our way to discharge and bring Christian home. Saying that the car was overly full would have been an understatement. Our fathers had insisted that I and Katherine have our bodyguards transport us from place to place, but I had three bodyguards as did Katherine which resulted in all eight of us crammed into one car. We pulled into the parking lot of the hospital and made our way inside. The short walk from the parking lot to the elevator to reach the ICU Floor was so long that it had me out of breath. I reached the elevator and I was breathing as if I had never walked a day in my life. 

" Milan are you alright? you look pale?" Katherine asked worriedly 

" I'm...fine...just out of shape" I breathed heavily 

We took the elevator to the ICU floor and proceeded to Christian's room. 

" Good morning babe" I smiled kissing him 

" Good morning, how are you feeling?" He asked 

" I should be asking you that question," I said reading his chart file 

" Seriously how are you Milan?" He asked again more seriously this time 

" I'm fine" I smiled 

" Brother your wife here has been sick," Katherine says smirking at me 

" Oh come on I was out of breath from walking" 

" Babe your an ex-boxer, and you attend the gym how are you out of breath?" Christian asked

" Remember I told you I was getting plump," I said rolling my eyes 

" Or maybe your pregnant" Katherine smirked 

" I'm not pregnant, I'm just extremely out of shape and hormonal" I tried to reason 

" So pregnant" Christian furrows his brows  

" Anyways, we're going to discharge you today and the neurologist is going to give you all the medications you need to take, and we'll sign the papers and go home," I told him 

" Great! because I have a meeting at noon that I need to attend so the faster we do this the faster I can get to my meeting" Christian said swinging his leg to the side of the bed 

"You're not going to work," I told him 

"You're going home and you're going to rest for a month, and I don't want to hear you bitch and moan about it," I said shutting him up before he could challenge me 

Soon enough the neurologist walked in the room and prescribed Christian with his medications giving us the go-ahead to discharge him. Katherine held Christian's duffel bag while I held his hand holding him up steady. The short distance from the room to the front desk to hand over the papers had me out of breath, making my chest beat rapidly. I stopped at the nurses' desk waiting for the palpitations to pass, but they didn't.
