Chapter 19
Realizing that Sharon is in the hospital, Andy and Rusty walked quickly toward the hospital, more worried than ever. Andy couldn't believe that this is happening right with them. Now he sat in the waiting room, waiting for news of Sharon, while Rusty was holding the baby in his arms. Arriving at the hospital, Andy was informed that Sharon is in surgery, which lasts three hours. He didn't know what to think and he didn't know how it happened all at once. On the other hand, Provenza was trying to connect with Andy. Finally, he saw the missed calls and decided to inform his friend.
"Flynn, where are you? I'm trying to reach you for hours!" he shouted sternly. Andy took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Provenza, something terrible happened." he barely said. Provenza got worried even more, hearing, his strange voice.
"What happened Flynn? Tell me, is everything okay?" he asked quickly.
"She... Sharon is in the hospital. Now she is fighting for her life. I feel terrible." he finally managed to say. Provenza's eyes widened.
"Flynn, calm down. I'll try to go there as quickly as possible." he assured him and they hung up. Andy gripped the phone in his hand and tears streamed down his cheeks. He couldn't believe that he was about to lose Sharon. No, that couldn't happen right now. Rusty watched him carefully, trying to calm the little baby who had begun to cry. Andy had no power to hug his son and calm him down. He felt worse than ever. He decided to check Sharon's phone. Seeing that Andrea called several times, he decided to inform her too. At this point, Andrea was on his way home. She stopped her car to be able to talk on the phone.
"Sharon, dear, where are you? I called a few times but you didn't answer me. I hope that everything is fine." she said quickly. Andy wiped his tears.
"Andrea, Sharon can't answer you." he said quietly. Andrea panicked upon hearing that Andy answers her.
"Andy? Where is Sharon? What happens? Your voice sounds strange." she noted with concern.
"Andrea, we're in the hospital. Sharon is fighting for her life. It happened incident, I wanted to inform you. Can you come here?" he said and asked, hoping that Andrea will come too.
"Of course, Andy. Calm down, I'll be there in a few minutes." she assured. While Andrea was on the way to the hospital, Rusty sat next to Andy, looking at him sadly. As if he was about to cry too. Perhaps only now, he could tell that he loves Sharon more than anything, like his mother. Andy didn't want to talk. His heart was tearing to pieces, thinking it would happen something wrong with Sharon. He didn't want that. He didn't forgive her, he wasn't able to tell her that he loves her, despite everything that had happened. He looked at Rusty and his son.
"Andy, we mustn't lose hope. I am sure that Sharon will be good." he said encouragingly. Andy smiled sadly and squeezed his shoulder. He took his son in his arms, kissing him gently. He didn't know how to hide his tears.
"Rusty, I'd like you to be right, believe me. But it is not so easy. I'm afraid it will happen something bad." he said sadly. Rusty shook his head.
"No, Andy, everything will be fine. Sharon will be fine. You know how stubborn she is and she can fight." He said reliable. Andy shrugged and held the baby close to his chest. He didn't want to think that can happen something bad, but there was such a possibility. While they were still waiting for news, Andrea and Provenza arrived at the hospital together and worried. After Andy told them everything, they began to accuse him, and he felt even worse. He knew his guilt, but he loved Sharon and prayed for she to be better. Andrea sat beside Rusty, taking Nicholas in his arms. She was his godmother and she had to do everything possible to calm the little baby. Provenza watched Andy's movements but he didn't want to talk to him - for now. A few minutes later, the doctor came out of the operating room and announced that the operation has passed successfully, but the fact that Sharon is in a coma. Andy almost fainted, realizing this. The doctor immediately asked Andy to go to his office to explain Sharon's condition. Andy was trembling with fear that the doctor will tell him something bad.
"Doctor, you said that the surgery was successful. And now you're telling me that Sharon is in a coma. What is happening?" he asked with fear. The doctor sighed and looked at him closely.
"Mr. Flynn, you have to understand something. When the patient was brought here, she was in a coma. We made a complex surgery but it doesn't guarantee that for Mrs. Raydor henceforth there will be no complications. We can't confirm how long she'll be in coma. " he said firmly. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
"But she'll come out of the coma, right?" he asked reliably. The doctor shook his head.
"We're not sure. But there's more. Probably when she woke up she'll have amnesia. There are serious injuries on her head." he said calmly. Andy could no longer breathe. As if he couldn't think clearly. Realizing that she may have amnesia after the coma, made him feel awful. He left the office and returned to the waiting room. Everyone looked at him carefully. Provenza stood before him, watching him carefully.
"Flynn, are you okay? You look pale. Tell me what the doctor said. Sharon will be good, right?" he asked anxiously. Andy looked at his little son and tears streamed down his cheeks silently. Abdrea and Rusty looked at each other while Provenza trying to understand what was happening to his friend. He squeezed his shoulder.
"Andy, what's happening?" he asked again, calling his friend by name - something that was extremely rare. Andy swallowed the lump in his throat and hugged his friend tightly without saying a word. Provenza looked into his eyes and made him sit down to calm down. But Andy couldn't calm down. He'd just learned the worst thing. He bit his lip and wiped his tears. He took Nicholas into his arms and hugged him. Only his son could help him at this time. Andrea sat near him, watching him carefully. She could feel that something bad is happening, but the fact that Andy doesn't talk made her think bad things.
"Andy, why are you silent? You're scaring everybody. What's happening?" she asked impatiently. Andy took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment.
"We need to inform Emily and Ricky. They need to see their mother." he said quietly. Rusty was shocked because until a little while ago, Andy didn't want Emily and Ricky to know about the accident so as not to worry them, and now suddenly he wanted them to arrive in LA.
"Andy, you said that Sharon wouldn't want to worry her children. Now why do we need to inform Emily and Ricky?" he asked quietly.
"Because we're not sure whether Sharon will come out of the coma. And even if she woke up, she'll have amnesia. That told me the doctor. Sharon has serious injuries on her head." he replied in a whisper. No one could believe that this is true. Provenza decided to inform Emily and Ricky, while Andrea and Rusty tried to overcome the shock. Rusty wept quietly as never before. Andy was holding the baby in his arms tightly, praying Sharon to wake up. He couldn't imagine life without her, especially the fact that she'll have amnesia. He couldn't tolerate it.
"Andy, are you sure that if Sharon wakes up she won't remember anything. That is, she'll have amnesia?" she asked sadly. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.
"Andrea, we're not even sure if she'll wake up. I don't know how happened this incident, but I can't live without Sharon. I can't lose her." he said with difficulty. Suddenly, Rusty stood before him with anger.
"But you're to blame for everything. You don't forgive her when she begged you. You weren't next to her when she needed you. And now, because of you, I'll lose Sharon, the person who is like my real mother." he said angrily. Andrea squeezed his shoulder and decided to led him out in order to calm him down. Nevertheless, Andy didn't blame Rusty. He was right, maybe he was the only one to blame. Provenza looked at him sadly and sat beside him, clutching his shoulder.
"Don't get me wrong, but Rusty was right. Lately, the captain was suppressed because of you." he said discontented. Andy took a deep breath and kissed his son.
"I know you're right and Rusty too. But Provenza, trust me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'll lose her forever." he admitted and almost wept. Provenza hushed and took the baby in his arms, seeing that Andy is unable to do anything.
"Flynn, we won't lose hope. Everything will be fine." he said encouragingly. Andy leaned back and shrugged. He hoped that his friend is right, but he felt great fear. Fear, that he'll lose forever Sharon. Emily and Ricky had gone to LA, learning that their mother had an accident. Strangely, Jack Raydor didn't appear. Andy doubted that. Why Jack Raydor doesn't appear to understand the truth? But he didn't know how had happened the incident. He didn't know the fact that Jack was in the place of the accident and that he had a dispute with Sharon before the terrible accident. But whether he would learn it ... It was a mystery for now. Rusty still blames Andy. On the other hand, Nicole tried to contact her father, but unsuccessfully. She was worried about him, but she had to tell him that his mother is here to reveal her secrets. Namely, Jennifer was about to ruin Andy's life with her dark secrets. Nicole was already ruined, as she'd learned the terrible truth about her brother. She could imagine how will feel her father. While Emily and Ricky traveled to LA and Provenza took care for Nicholas with Andrea and Rusty, Andy decided to see Sharon. He just needed. He went into her room and seeing that she breathes with the help of these machines, he almost fainted from grief. He sat down beside her and squeezed her hand, looking at her sadly.
"Sharon, I'm an idiot. I know it and I know that you're in this position because of me. I don't know whether the doctor was right, but I don't want to lose you. Please wake up. Come back to me and your children. Perhaps Emily and Ricky will arrive soon. But Nicholas is still too small. He needs his mother. Our team needs their captain. Please don'tleave me. You made a lot of mistakes and you lied to me, but I don't want to lose you before I can tell you that I forgive you for everything. I forgive you, Sharon. I love you and I feel terrible, seeing that you live with the help of these machines. Please come back. I won't be able to live without you. I can't. I also made a lot of mistakes, but I know that you were able to forgive me. I'd like to know how you suffered such a terrible accident. How it all happened? I don't know, maybe the team should investigate your case too. Sharon, I love you. Come back. "He said softly and kissed her hand gently, then wept. Rusty was sitting in the waiting room sadly. He didn't want to talk to anyone, especially with Andy. Andrea decided to take care of the little baby and decided to go home. Provenza decided to wait Andy and to support Rusty. He informed the team to begin an investigation. They had to understand how this accident had happened. Especially Andy who could find no sense. When Andy left Sharon's room, he saw Emily and Ricky in front of him who looked at him more worried than ever. He stood there like a stone, not knowing how to explain the situation ...
