“Common don’t disappoint me, baby!”

He mumbled only for her and him to hear, resting his head atop hers, their lips passed as he was tired and it was in that moment he felt her…her upper lip moving.

It was right after that he carried her up to the condo, the doctor and the nurse followed behind.

They immediately got in a position to start her treatment. She was immediately put on oxygen and they started checking on her vitals.

Once everything was set, the female nurse made her change into warm cotton clothes.

The doctor finally came out to talk with Kian as he paced to and fro in the hallway waiting for any kind of news, good or bad both.

“The patient is stable for now. Luckily no bones were broken as she fell into the lake which saved so many damages from being happening. She is fine for now. Her skin would hurt and so other parts since she fell from too high up but the pain medications will help. There is nothing more to worry about as no bones were broken or fractured. ”

The doctor explained in detail and Kian listened to it with a lot of attention. He was thankful too as no more damages were done to her body.

” When will she regain consciousness?”

Kian asked to which the doctor replied that it might take a few hours or even a day before she finally wakes up.

“I have noticed the bruises and it seemed like someone was inflicting it on her. She might have some mental anxieties so give me a call as soon as she wakes up. ”

Kian nodded positively and then the doctor showed himself out. Kian commanded his driver to drop him at his house and assigned one live-in nurse to look after Tinsley twenty-four multiplied by seven.

Once everyone was out, he ordered the nurse to go out for a few minutes to give him some alone time with her.

He did not know why he felt so bad about the condition she was in. Her pale blue face attached to the oxygen mask, the saline-injected on her right palm, her nose had the food pipe inside to assist her in feeding, white cloth bandaged all over her joints, forehead and ointment was applied to the cuts that were scattered on her skin.

She so much did not resemble the look she had a few days back when he saw her for the first time at the party.

Here laying on the bed, she looked nothing like that day. She looked like a fallen angel whose wings were cut off very cruelly and was in dire need of protection and care of someone.

He walked forward, closing the door behind him making sure to not make a sound to disturb her sleep and took a seat beside her.

Her chest was huffing up and down, struggling to keep her breathe and he closed his eyes in calmness, knowing that she was breathing and alive here with him.

They never had a clear conversation, neither did he knew anything about her other than the bits and pieces of news he gathered from the net and his sources.

But yet there was a strange strong connection he felt whenever he was near her and that made him question it all the times.

At certain times, he felt as if they had known each other for so long. Her face…it resembled someone from his dream although everything was hazy and unclear.

He extended his hand and ran his finger over her red hairs, patting her gently, deeply trying to associate with the grief and sorrow she had to go all alone with and bear it.

He had known that kind of pain from his childhood although the memories were by now unclear and hard to remember.

He had his aunt who took him in and gave him the shoulder to cry and stand up on his feet with her support.

But from what he had heard that she had no one..not even some out of reach cousins, aunt or uncle. She was all alone and that disturbed him a lot.

Josh was her last hope and that too vanished the moment, he called their planned wedding off.

And maybe that was why she got so depressed and was holding onto the strings of a loveless love because she had no one to rely upon except for him.

With time, Kian started to understand the deepness of the circumstances, the poor soul was trapped into and he could not feel worse and remorse for her.

Even though he did not understand her action of trying to risk her life by jumping out of the building.

What was she thinking while doing that??

If not for his driver reporting him the incident right away and the rescue team had not arrived on time, she could have been dead…

Kian closed his eyes as he could not even imagine what that would have been like. He did not want to think about that in any way possible.

If something…something really would have happened to her, he was sure that he could have never able to figure himself.

He could have stayed back and waited for her to wake up instead of being selfish and storming away, leaving her scared self to explore everything by herself.

It was in that time, he promised himself that he would take care of her, vowed to punish those who had tortured her fragile body and be by her side till the time she needed him and was alright.

He was ready to take all her responsibility and let her reside in here however long she wanted to, he had no problem with it until he could arrange for an alternative for her of her choice when she was awake.

So the wait now began of when she would wake up and grace his face with those baby blue eyes.
