Chapter-56

Cherish's POV:

That's the last thing I remember, When I woke up, the paramedics were pumping oxygen to my face, they were carrying me on stretcher. The nurse looked at me asking something, I couldn't understand anything at first.

I heard her again, "Miss.... You ok... keep breathing, you are safe now... we are taking you to nearest hospital..... and..."

I asked as my eyes were too weak, "My husband.... Riccardo... where is he..."

She said, "Miss....He is fine... right beside you, he is injured his head.. and..."

I tried to sit up and see him, but I couldn't. I felt so helpless. I cried more, The nurse said, "Please... be laid... .. you are weak, you inhaled too much smoke...."

My looked at Riccardo who was unconscious, the paramedics were giving him first aid in the moving ambulance. My eyes dropped tears, because of me... he is in this state, he jumped in fire for me.... how is he so selfless.

I asked, "Will he be ok?... save him,,, save him ... please..."

The Nurse said, "Don't worry.... you are in safe hands... He was trying beside you when the fire fighters got to save you both, still holding your hand... He is a brave man, he will ok..."

I beg god for this, save him and please... Save him that's all I want.

In the hospital,

I saw them talking Riccardo in the ER, I was praying for him all the time. I wasn't the one to pray my entire life, but this moment I do need god to help.

Soon, I was given a bed too. The doctor checked me as he said, "You look fine, leaving the minor burn on your hand. ..... Nurse, get a blood sample just in case..."

I rejected, "I am fine... I don't need it... Just save my Husband... Don't waste time here..."

The Doctor assured me, "Our best doctors are working on him....But you also need your primary healthcare... Ma'am cooperate with us."

No...

I cannot let this information be public, they will find out as soon they run blood test. I need him to be safe first then, Then rest can be handle. I don't feel right at this situation.

I warned them, "I am Hector Derosa's Daughter... You all know the person in ER too, and I am his wife....You touch me without my will and I will make sure to shut this hospital in no time...." The Doctor looked at my face for wide moment, he sighed.

He said, "You are your own Risk then.... Nurse, treat her burn... If she wishes too..."

Hours later,

I noticed Fred and Isaac rushing there. Isaac ran to embracing me, I broke down the second I felt the embrace. Isaac said to me, "I am here.... God! you made me so much worried.... I was dying the entire flight...."

I kept sobbing, I whispered in tears, "Please... Save Riccardo... He got hurt saving me.... I am... I am so worried... I..."

I heard a harsh voice, "This girl is like a doom to My son... he is taking power and respect and now his life!!!!"

I saw Riccardo's Father, I felt like his words were True. Because of me, he got hurt.... Because of me is going through this misfortune because of me.....

I heard My Dad, "Mr. Valentine... It was an accident... Do not raise your voice at her..." I felt Isaac's hand on my head, as he tried to hide me in his embrace, he whispered, "I am going to kill that man.... How dare he....." I grabbed his shirt tighter as if it was enough to stop him.

Riccardo's mother said, "Riccardo is hurt and you are blaming his wife... What she has done in it!!... Stop acting immature and pray for my son...."

Riccardo's father warned her, "I dare you speak a word...... I am enough to handle this situation..."

She looks at her husband in disbelief, She turned to me as if she cared for me. She said, "Cherish... are you ok?...." She touched my hand which was injured, she said, "Oh! my god!...."

She asked, "How all this happened?..."

I whispered, "I don't know.... When... I woke up... Everything was on fire.... I don't know...." I sobbed more."

Isaac made me sit down, he sat on his toes to be on my level, he said, "Cherish.... Breathe.. cool down... Breathe..." I sobbed holding my face. He warned this time, "Cherish!...."

I looked at him in tears, He begged, "Please... breathe normally.... I am here..... See, Dad is a also here... You are fine..."

It felt like I was a child again, and he was trying to stop me from crying. I know we were never good to each other growing up, Isaac was always harsh and strict to me. He always tried to be rude.

But there is another truth to it, He was always there to stop my tears when I was little. As we grew up we got distant... But I realized he is the same.

I realized I was following his directions, as if it was habit. He whispered, "Good.... now... don't worry, don't cry, I am here..." I nod silently.

I noticed Riccardo's father talking to the doctors, he was almost screaming at them. The hospital quickly got filled with more guards than nurses at this point.

I looked at Isaac as I said, "But Riccardo.... Save him.... I will not ask for any other thing, I will be good.... Please save him...."

He looked at me unmoved, Dad sat beside me in the mean time, he said, "Cherish.... Nothing will happen to him..... He is a strong man, I just want to you to be strong..."

Hours later,

I moved back as My back touched the wall, Doctor said, "He is out of danger now...He conscious...." I was relieved.

The Doctor said further, "There is signs of injury in his brain, some part of it is swollen... So, we have to see the after effects...."

This made my mind clouded with worries, I asked impatient, "What do you mean!!!!... What effect!"

Riccardo's father said, "Speak clearly what do you mean..."

Doctor said, "We don't know what symptoms it will cause... we can tell you anything after we check him better..."

I turned to the room as the doctor said that, I need to see him myself. I tried to open the door when Riccardo's father said, "Don't you dare.... Because of you is !"

I stopped his words warning, "I am his wife... Stay out of it..."

He clenched his jaw, Isaac said, "Cherish..." as if he assured me.

I walked in the room, I saw him sleeping, but I knew he was awake, his other hand was holding his head as the nurse was injecting him with medicine.

I felt so sorry for him, I didn't wanted to see him in pain. His head was covered in bandages, his arm was also injured, he did had some light burn mark near his neck and on his leg.

He saved me, but look at him now.

It's all my fault, I am responsible for this day. I am such a curse for him.

I walked to him touching his forehead, I whispered internally, 'No matter what happens I am with you. I promise I won't leave... Not after you save me and our baby..'

Riccardo looked at me opening his eyes, I whispered touching his face, "I am glad you are ok..." I saw a sudden change in his eyes, they were cold.

It felt so different. He grabbed my arm harshly, he yanked me away. I was stunned.

Riccardo said, "Nurse!!!.... Who the f*ck is she!!!!... I hate anyone touching me!!!"

I looked at him out of words, he said looking at me angry, "You are still hear!!! Get out!!! What kind security this place has strange creeps in patients room...."

I am too stunned to say anything. His screams let the people from outside rush in. The Doctor rushed there trying to cool him down.

Riccardo kept screaming at them, "I am getting out of here... you all are too lousy!!!"

The Doctor almost begged, "Mr. Valentine... Cool down..... You need bed rest...."

Riccardo tried to get up but he sat back holding his head. I tried to comfort him but he screamed at me, "Stop f*cking touching me!!!!"
