Chapter 37

While Sharon, Andrea Nicole and Provenza sat in the waiting room, Jennifer was still in Andy's room, holding injection of poison near his system. She was ready to inject it and thus to make her revenge. The only thing she wanted was his death. Sharon took a deep breath and put her hand on her chest. As if she sensed that something was wrong. She was a little restless. She stood up and paced around the hallway.

She looked at Andy's room carefully. Although Jennifer was able to sneak in secret, dressing as a doctor, Sharon could see the little light around the room. She looked a bit and walked to the room while Andrea stopped her, asking, "Sharon, where are you going? "Sharon took a deep breath and shrugged.

"Andrea, I'll go into Andy's room. I have a feeling that something is wrong. I am quite restless." Provenza looked at her carefully, saying, "Captain, if something was wrong, the doctor would have informed us. Moreover, you have to get permission from the doctor to enter the room." Sharon sighed wearily and shook her head.

"No, Lieutenant. There is something very strange. I feel that if I don't hurry, Andy could lose his life. I can't allow that. If I go to ask the doctor I can be late. Please don't make me stop. I need to see my husband. " she said heatedly and walked to Ansy's room with quick steps. Nicole looked at Andrea and asked softly, "Dad would be good, right?" Andrea hushed quietly and hugged her, saying, "Calm down. He'll survive. He's always been strong." Provenza, even sighed and leaned back thoughtfully.

Jennifer grinned slyly, saying to Andy, "See? The end of your life is now in my hands. Today I will get my revenge. You caused me a lot and now it's my turn. Now your wife will suffer as I suffered when you took Nicole from me. Now, I take you away of your children. Goodbye. " She pointed the injection of venom against the system, and at this moment, Sharon went inside. Jennifer immediately realized that perhaps his wife has entered the room. She didn't turned intentional. But she still didn't know that Sharon is a cop. She wouldn't have imagined his wife to do the same job.

"Who are you?" Sharon asked sternly. Although Jennifer was dressed as a doctor, when Sharon had looked at her she was immediately realized that here something strange is happening. Fortunately, Sharon carried a gun with her. Jennifer was filled with fear. But she was calm, knowing that the injection of poison is in her hand.

"Who are you?" Sharon asked several times more strictly. Jennifer took a deep breath and turned to her, smiling slyly. Sharon looked at her carefully, but she still had no idea that she was Andy's ex-wife. Sharon looked at her and approached her slowly. She looked at Andy and then back at her. She immediately noticed the injection in her hand.

"I'm convinced that you're not a doctor. Who are you? Why are you in my husband's room? What are you doing here?" Sharon asked angrily while Jennifer laughed.

"Oh, I guess you're his wife. But would you like to know who I really am? I'm his ex-wife - Jennifer." At this point, Sharon froze. Her eyes widened and she knew that actually this injection is of poison. She was sure of it. She swallowed the lump in her throat and looked back at Andy, who lay helplessly. Jennifer was still grinning cheekily. Sharon was ready to arrest her still there, but she couldn't risk knowing that in her hand has a dangerous injection. She first had to take this injection in order to save Andy's life.

"No, we can't wait here just like that. The captain is still inside. I'll inform the doctor." Provenza said firmly and stood up, but Andrea took his hand.

"No, Provenza. I think that Sharon was right. Inside, something strange is happening. We can't risk it. Perhaps Andy's life is in danger. We have to wait." she said softly. Provenza shook his head, dissatisfied and sat back. Nicole looked at Andrea with fear and hugged her. She couldn't imagine that her father might lose his life and especially because of her, as she still blames herself.

Sharon stood numb in front of Jennifer. She lurked convenient moment to grab the injection from her hand. Both looked at Andy, then Jennifer showed the injection to Sharon. She walked over to her, grinning. Sharon looked at her with indescribable anger. She just wanted to slap her in the face. Jennifer said quietly, showing injection, "Do you know Sharon, I was ready to kill Andy Flynn until you come and ruin everything. I was ready to get my revenge, but you came and failed my whole plan!" she almost shouted. Sharon hoped that the doctor will enter the room soon.

"Enough Jennifer! I don't want to listen to your bullshit. Give me this injection. I'll not let you kill my husband. Forget it. Moreover, if you don't know, I'm a cop and if I want I can arrest you right here and right now . But I have no courage to do it, knowing that in your hand has a lethal injection. " Sharon said angrily. Jennifer laughed. Although she laughs, she was surprised that Sharon was a cop, just like Andy. But why not? It wasn't so surprising to some extent.

"You're a cop, but I'm stronger than you. In my hand there is injection with which I can kill Andy now. So, and your life is in my hands. He took away my daughter. Because of him now Nicole hates me, but now it's my turn. Now, I'll have my revenge. " she said firmly. Sharon took a deep breath and her heart sank at the thought that Jennifer can inject this poison in Andy's system. But no, she couldn't allow such a thing.

"Nicole has always sought motherly love, but you've never been with her. In addition, you cheated on Andy, leaving him with your little daughter completely alone. Now you have no right to want revenge. Nicole hates you as her father . And they're right. You're a monster. I swear. " Sharon said angrily, looking at Andy. Jennifer showed her the injection again. She came to Andy's system, ready to inject it. Sharon looked at her with fear. She immediately had to snatch the injection from her at any cost.

On the other hand, Provenza's patience ended. He felt that they can't wait more that way. Andrea and Nicole were worried too. Provenza looked at his watch, saying nervously, "It'd been last half an hour. We can't wait. I'll call the doctor. We have to see what happens." Andrea nodded and Provenza went to the doctor's office. Nicole looked at her father's room and then to Andrea, asking quietly, "Andrea, will not happen anything wrong, right? Please tell me that everything will be fine." Andrea hushed and wiped her tears.

"Nicole, please, calm down. I assure you that your father will survive. But I worry because no news of Sharon. I hope that everything is fine." she said thoughtfully, but she felt strange. Sharon was still standing in front of Jennifer with fear. She thought how to take the injection from her hand before it's too late. Jennifer grinned and just when she was ready to inject, Sharon pounced on her and grabbed her arm, trying to take the injection. Jennifer was angry that her plan had failed because of "the cop."

On the other hand, Provenza and the doctor approached Andy's room. Now led fight between Sharon and Jennifer. Sharon tried to take the injection with all forces while Jennifer was trying to inject the poison into her body. She was ready to do anything to get her revenge. For her her didn't matter who will be dead, knowing that both would suffer for each other if something happens fatal.

Finally, after many battles, Sharon managed to take the injection and at this time, the doctor and Provenza came to the rescue, although they were in terrible shock. Sharon had failed to fulfill her duty as a cop again. She had fought with all her strength, but now she was calm, knowing that Jennifer was arrested. Nicole was still in shock. She couldn't believe that her mother has been received in this way, but she was calm. The doctor had examined Andy. Yes, he was still in a coma, but at least there was no danger to his life.

Several hours later, Sharon sat with Andrea in the waiting room while Provenza and Nicole decided to go for coffee. Andrea squeezed her shoulder, saying quietly, "Well done Sharon. You succeeded again. You saved Andy's life. If Andy had known he would be very happy." Sharon looked at her and sighed wearily, closing her eyes for a moment.

"I couldn't let this woman to kill my husband. Now I'm more relaxed, but not completely. While Andy doesn't come out of the coma, I'll not be calm. You know, Andrea, it's been only 24 hours, but if passed 24 years. I can't put into words how I feel right now. As if my life has lost meaning, but my life has no meaning without Andy. I can't live without him. I miss his encouraging words and smiles. " she admitted sadly, almost deplorable. Andrea nodded and squeezed her hand.

"I'm convinced Sharon. But see, Andy will be fine. He'll survive." Sharon smiled slightly and at this point, Provenza and Nicole returned to them. Provenza handed a cup of coffee to Sharon, saying softly, "Captain, I just talked to Rusty. He told me that you must go home immediately. Anna has a temperature." Sharon immediately panicked and handed the cup back to him.

"What? My daughter has a temperature? Oh, my God. "

"Yes, Captain, we'll be here. The children need you. Don't worry. If we learn something new about Andy's condition, we'll notify you immediately. Let Rusty will not be alone." Provenza said encouragingly. Sharon nodded slightly. She immediately went to the exit while Provenza sat beside Andrea and Nicole. Nicole took a deep breath and leaned back.

"I hope that Anna will feel better." Andrea squeezed her shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure it's mild cold." A few minutes later, Sharon was already home. While Rusty took care of Nicholas, Sharon did everything possible to allow Anna to feel better. Her temperature was high, but Sharon was convinced that with some medications she'll be fine. She smiled slightly at her daughter and kissed her forehead gently. Anna took her hand.

"Mom, where's Daddy?" the little girl asked quietly, almost without force. Sharon swallowed the lump in her throat. It was the most difficult issue for her. She didn't know how to hide the truth. She knew that Anna will not stop asking questions.

"Look, honey. Your father has an important job, I told you that he'll come back quickly. Believe me, he'll come back." Sharon assured with a slight smile and stroked her hair. Rusty came with a smile to his mother, with Nicholas in his arms. Sharon smiled softly and took her son in her arms, kissing him gently. Nicholas also was crying, but Sharon was grateful that at least he's small and doesn't understand anything about his father.

"Mom, if you're tired, I ...-" Rusty began, but Sharon stopped him.

"No, honey, I can handle it. Anna is already feeling better and soon I'll feed Nicholas. Can you bring me the pacifier from the nursery?" she asked softly. Rusty nodded and went into the nursery to take the pacifier. After Anna had felt better and Sharon was fed Nicholas, she was back in the hospital, where there was still no news from Andy. She was filled with indescribable fear. But she believe that Andy will survive. He was strong, he could survive. He had this chance. Sharon was sitting in his room. She felt calm with him. Although he was in a coma, she believed that he heard her. She squeezed his hand, looking at him with a smile.

"Andy, we experienced terrible moments. If I hadn't come in time, your life could be in danger. You're right. Your ex-wife is a real devil. She was ready to kill you for her revenge, but fortunately there is no danger and she is arrested. Don't worry. I'm convinced that you'll survive. You can, Andy. I know you can hear me. Please, I beg you. Go back. Today Anna asked for you again. I don't know how to hide truth. Your kids need you. Go back. " she said quietly, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

At this point, Andy squeezed her hand. He'd reacted to her words. Sharon immediately looked at him and saw that he'd opened his eyes. She was already convinced that Andy came out of the coma. She looked at their hands.

"Andy, can you hear me? Andy, are you okay? Give me a sign. Tell me. If you can hear me, squeeze my hand once more, please." She looked at him imploringly. Andy again squeezed her hand, giving her another sign that he has come out of the coma. Sharon's heart was filled with joy. Andy was out of the coma. He'd come back to life for her and their children. She was already convinced that everything will be okay from now on...
