chapter 38

Alice was crying hysterically and she said cursing herself, "It's my entire fault, that my baby is suffering this much, if I wouldn't have forced her to marry him, she would have been safe and sound"Daniel somehow consoled his Mom, he cannot see his Mom crying and it pained him to an extent that he could kill James for hurting his sister and making his Mom upset.After waiting for an hour a doctor came out of Carol's room, Mrs. Mittal ran towards him and asked suppressing her cries, "Doctor, what happened to my daughter, how is she now?"The doctor removed the mask from his face and said, she didn't have any major injuries, but" he hesitated to continue. Alex came forward and asked in a harsh tone, "But, what doctor?""But she was raped multiple times and now she is shocked and suffering PTSD" the doctor completed and kept his head down he was scared of Alex.Mrs. Mittal was about to fall but Daniel helped her and made her sit on the sofa.Mrs. Mittal was unable to control her emotions and she started crying hysterically, "What has my innocent daughter done to anyone why she has to suffer all these?"Although Alex and Alice were here to support her, but this moment they were able to connect to Mrs. Mittal's pain as their daughter was also in hospital and till now they don't even know how she is?After waiting for some time the doctor from Alexa's room also came out and said, "Sir, luckily she doesn't have any fracture, she had an injury on her forehead so we have to stitch it, she has five stitches on her forehead and soon we will shift her to the VIP ward" saying this the doctor walked away.Alex was standing there like a statue, he didn't dare to face his daughter who always did what he and Alice said and today she was in this situation because of a marriage to a person who didn't cherish her.After mustering up a lot of courage he walked to Alexa's ward, when she was shifted to VIP ward, he opened the door and saw his daughter lying on the bed with closed eyes and a pale face.He clenched his fists to stop himself from killing that bastard James, he walked to her, sensing the presence of a person Alexa opened her eyes, she immediately understood seeing her Dad's expression what he wanted to do right now.But even after what James did with her, she cannot see him in any trouble, she forced a smile on her face and said in a weak voice, "Dad, see ...ho...how clumsy your daughter is, I fell down from stairs"Alexa didn't know about Daniel's presence in her house, she was still thinking that James brought her to the hospital.Alex held his anger and emotion at the same time and sat next to Alexa caressing her head and said holding his tear, "You are my strong daughter, this is nothing for you"Alexa smiled and asked, "where are other's?" with others she wanted to see James. Alex understanding her searching eyes said a little arrogantly,"All are waiting outside and the one whom you are waiting for is not here, you were brought to hospital by Daniel""Only one person is allowed to enter at a time so I will send your Mumma"saying that he left because he cannot see his daughter like this, he never let even a scratch on Alexa's body even when she was a kid and today she was covered with scratches, it was unbearable for him.Alice entered the ward and hugged Alexa and said crying, "I am really sorry, my baby, I am really sorry, please forgive your Mumma"Alexa consoled Alice, "Mum, nothing to worry, see your daughter is strong, I am perfectly fine" Alice nodded wiping her tears and kissed her forehead and said, "you rest for some time baby"Outside the ward, Dylan reached in a hurry when he heard about Alexa's accident, but Alex held him by his collar and said, "Believe my Dylan your son is breathing till now only because he holds your name behind his name, otherwise I would have killed him already and fed him to my pets"Dylan also knew by this time what had happened at James house and he was ashamed at this moment, Alexa was not just his daughter in law, she is like his own daughter for him.He gently released his collar from Alex's grab and said, "Brother-in-law Alexa is my daughter also and if a man even if he is my son could not cherish her then he doesn't deserve her" saying Dylan left the hospital.Everyone came and met Alexa, even Mrs. Mittal also came and thanked her for bringing Carol to hospital.She kissed Alexa's forehead and said before leaving, "You are very strong girl, your parents are lucky to have you"Alexa gave a weak smile to her, many people were not allowed to be in her ward at a time, soon it was day end and Alexa kept on waiting for James but he didn't come.Alexa felt like her heart was crushed again and again; she thought whatever happened was just an accident but looks like James never cared for her.She silently cried in her pillow, but she also made up her mind that she will not play the third wheel in James and Olivia's relationship.Alice was staying at night with Alexa in the hospital, Alex and Daniel also wanted to stay but Alice assured them that she would take care of Alexa and asked them to leave for home.On the other side when Lucas finished his work and came back home, he directly went to his bedroom hiding the bunch of flowers behind him, which he brought for Carol.He opened the door with excitement but all colors of his face drained when he didn't see Carol in the bedroom.He panicked and searched each and every room of the mansion but Carol was not anywhere, he was about to call his secretary, but his phone buzzed and it was his secretary's call and he informed him about Alexa's accident.Lucas didn't know what to do; his family was not talking to him after he walked off the aisle leaving Carol behind.
