Chapter 55

Comatose - Part 3

Sharon was dying before his eyes. He was more powerless than ever and he couldn't do anything. He swallowed the lump in his throat and closed his eyes for a moment, praying that Sharon will wake up. No, she couldn't leave her family right now. It was not fair. Watching her breathing stops, Andy felt worse. At this point, Provenza approached him and looked at him carefully, clutching his shoulder.

"Andy, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Andy didn't respond. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he almost wept. Provenza immediately make his friend to sit.

"Louie, she's dying. Sharon dies." Andy said bitterly. Provenza shook his head and sat beside him.

"No, that's not true. She won't die. Andy, calm down, I beg you." Provenza pleaded reliable, but Andy already had no hope. He was almost convinced that he was about to lose Sharon. After a few minutes, the doctor stood before them. Andy didn't know how to ask whether Sharon's good or she's dead. He didn't know the answer and it made him more scared. He couldn't lose her. It was like a nightmare without end. Finally, Provenza decided to ask if everything is fine with Sharon.

"Doctor, tell us, Sharon's good, right?" Provenza asked quietly.

"Don't worry. Her condition is stabilized. Her pulse fell and her breathing stopped for a few minutes, but now everything is under control. Let's hope that she'll come out of the coma." the doctor explained briefly and walked toward his office. Andy stood frozen in place. He was like a statue. Provenza immediately hugged him and smiled.

"See? She's good. Andy, everything will be fine. Sharon is now well. Soon, she'll come out of the coma. Trust me." he said encouragingly. Andy, however, was unable to hear anything. He walked to the exit while Andrea approached Provenza.

"I asked Andy where he was going, but he didn't answer me. Louie, what happens?" she asked quickly. Provenza sighed and shrugged.

"He's in shock. He was about to lose Sharon forever. The doctor explained that her pulse has decreased and that her breathing had stopped for a few minutes. Imagine how much we would survive if Sharon ..." Andrea clutched his shoulder and not allow him to finish his thought.

"She'll be good. My friend is a fighter and she can cope with that." she interrupted sharply. Andy stood outside, his thoughts in Sharon. She lay there and fight for her life, but he couldn't help her. For a moment, he'd asked to take her hand and tell her to get out of this damn bed, as well as their daughter Maddie wanted. He wiped his tears, but the memories didn't leave him. He felt more powerless than ever.

The night was quiet. Sharon was reading magazine in the living room when someone knocked on the door. She took off her glasses and put them on the table. She cautiously opened the door, but seeing Andy before her, she was surprised.

"Oh, Andy, I'm not expecting you." she said confused. Andy sighed and put his hands in his pockets.

"I decided to surprise you. Uh ... Can we talk?" he asked quietly. Sharon nodded and invited him inside. Andy looked around carefully. Not that he was coming here for the first time, but somehow, this time everything was different. A few months ago, he'd come here for work, but now he came here because he was worried about her. A few minutes later, he sat on the couch while Sharon went into the kitchen to get him a glass of water. Andy looked at the magazine and was shocked because the title was, "How we can find out if someone is in love with us?" This title was very strange. After Sharon brought him a glass of water, she sat next to him with a smile.

"Pretty interesting magazine." he said, grinning. Sharon panicked and didn't know what answer to give. She took the magazine and took a deep breath.

"Actually, I'd never like to read something like this, but I'm just curious about some things." she explained hastily. Andy sipped his water and looked into her green eyes.

"Hmm ... Like what? Sharon, you have a personal experience. Well, Jack has never been number one, but we have a relationship and you should be sure of whether I love you. I love you." he said softly and touched her face gently touching his lips against hers. Sharon closed her eyes for a moment and stepped back.

"I don't know, maybe it's just curiosity. Andy, I know that you love me. I never doubted it, and you know this very well. But the problems lately make me think about our relationship." she said uncertainly. Andy looked at her more confused than ever.

"Problems? Sharon, we have no problems." he said, almost sure. Sharon shook her head and took a deep breath, and then she put the magazine on the table and stood up. She began pacing thoughtfully. Andy stood before her and squeezed her shoulder.

"Andy, do you think that everything in our relationship is well? I mean, do you think that between us there is true love after this terrible enmity?" she asked sadly. Andy shushed softly and kissed her gently on the lips.

"I have no doubts in our love even for a moment. Sharon, we forgot about this senseless enmity. You'll see, everything will be fine." He hugged her tightly, rubbing her back soothingly. She snuggled into his warm embrace and closed her eyes. Yes, she had doubts, but the man beside her, loved her more than anything and it was more than clear.

Andy came home to see his children. He saw Emily and Ricky sitting in the living room thoughtfully. He approached them and looked around.

"Emily, Ricky, how are you?" he asked quietly. Emily and Ricky looked at each other sadly.

"We can't be good, Andy. Our mother is on the verge of death." Emily said, weeping. Ricky clutched her shoulder, saying, "Maddie hasn't stopped crying. All day she never stopped asking for her mother. We barely calmed Tony and Kate. Even, as if they feel what is going on, Andy." Andy swallowed the lump in his throat and, without saying a word, he went to see Maddie. He sat down next to his daughter with a smile and hugged her tightly. Maddie snuggled into her father crying.

"Dad, I beg you, tell mom to come back." the little girl asked quietly. Andy smiled sadly and wiped her tears.

"Maddie, honey, she'll be back, don't worry. Very soon." he calmed Maddie, but he didn't believe his words. A few minutes later, he went to the nursery to see the twins. He hugged his babies and went into the bedroom. He decided to sleep at home at least tonight. He felt very tired and he knew that Provenza and Andrea will be in the hospital. He slept with Tony and Kate calmly.

"Andy, can you hear me? I'm here." Sharon's voice was heard softly. Andy opened his eyes and saw Sharon before him. He looked at the twins who were sleeping and went to Sharon. She smiled softly and looked at her children. Andy could see that her eyes were filled with tears.

"Sharon, come back, I beg you. Emily, Ricky, Maddie and the twins need you. Your kids need you. I need you. I don't want to lose you. I beg you, come back." he said pleadingly and touched her face. Sharon took his hand.

"Andy, I can't. I came here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving, Andy." she said quietly, tears were streaming down her cheeks. Andy shook his head and his heart broke into a thousand pieces. He didn't want to believe that this could be true.

"Sharon, you're talking nonsense. You can't leave me and your children. You can't do that." he said, crying. Sharon hushed quietly and stroked his face with a smile.

"You're the best father I know. You can handle it without me. Maddie, Tony and Kate need their father always be up to them. I promise you, you'll be a great father and you'll see how our children grow. "

"No, Sharon, I can't live without you. I won't do without you. Don't leave me."

"I love you, Andy. Goodbye." She kissed him gently and disappeared from his sight.

"Sharon !" Andy shouted loudly, waking up. His heart seemed to have stopped for a moment. He looked at the babies who had begun to cry. He had a bad feeling. He entrusted the children to Emily and Ricky, and went to the hospital, hoping it is not too late...
