Chapter 3
Sam, Bailey and George were sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. They were anxiously waiting the report of the doctor about John. Then the doctor emerged from the double swing doors with a serious face.
"How is he?" asked a worried Bailey.
"Are you relatives of John Grant?" asked the doctor looking at them.
"Yes-" said Bailey, after all, John was like his son, working with him all these years have tie tight bonds between them.
"No" said Sam simultaneously "We're colleges and friends".
The doctor shook his head in agreement "Well, he has a coagulated mass in his brain probably due to a hard knock. The next 24 hours will be decisive to see if it dissolves for itself or we have to operate. For the moment, he's in coma".
"Can we see him?" asked George.
"Well he's in the ICU. As soon as you can see him, I'll tell you".
Bailey sighed and sat down.
"It's all my fault" mumbled Bailey to himself, however Sam heard him. She shook her head slightly, sat down beside him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's NOT your fault" whispered Sam.
"He should have never gone there alone. If I didn't give him the name of Spider..." sighed George.
"I saw him struggling with Lou for the gun but I didn't interfere. If I have done something, he wouldn't have knocked his head and now he wouldn't be in coma" croaked Bailey and a tear of helplessness slided along his cheek.
Sam embraced him and cradled him. "It wasn't your fault" whispered in his ear.
Frances entered in the waiting room. She was paled and was very upset.
"Dad!" yelled Frances. Bailey dried his tears, stood up and embraced his daughter who was very unsettled. "They-they have told me John is in the hospital. How is he?"
"He is in coma" sighed Bailey.
Frances ran a hand over her head. "Can I see him?" asked not sure what Bailey would think after having accused John of having an affair with her.
Bailey shook his head sadly. "We can't see him now, he's still in observation".
"Do you want a coffee?" asked Frances. Bailey nodded. "Ok, I'll go to the bar" and she left the room.
Frances didn't go to the bar but to find the room where John was. As she entered in his room, she hesitated in the door looking at an unconscious John. She approached to his bed. He seemed to be sleeping, that he would wake up. Her fingers nervously tapped on the mattress.
"I'm so sorry" whispered Frances. "It's all my fault. If I haven't lied, you wouldn't have argued with dad and you wouldn't have gone there" sobbed. "Please, you have to wake up" but John didn't move. "Come on John, YOU MUST WAKE UP" yelled at him and then she cried, as she as never cried before. She felt so angry. Angry with herself. Angry with John for not waking up. She laid a hand on his hand and with the other hand, she fondled his cheek.
"I-I loved you" croaked Frances. "You can not die. Please don't leave me alone" mumbled. Then she inclined towards John and kissed his forehead. She turned back and left the room.
