Alois arrived at the hospital to pay a visit to Claude, the reason he did not come earlier was because he knew that Alex and Finnian needed family time. Alois felt a pinch in his chest as he watched his butler laying ever so still, it was actually sad for Alois - to see someone who was once strong fall to such a state. This situation was unusual for Alois, the hospital was not really his scene so he tried to talk to Claude as much as he could but not much could be said from Claude - his speech was very slurred.
A doctor entered, along with Alex and Finnian who were invited back into the room by the doctor, with results. Information saying the Cardiac Arrest was caused by physical stress (from blood loss) had already been announced, this time the doctors found more. "Coronary artery disease*" the doctor said leaving suspense "happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed - CAD* can kill ... did you know that, huh Alex?". The doctor was starting to scare Alex and Alois while Finnian held out trying to be strong. *Sigh* "this patient could have died, he was so damn close! - CAD as it grows, less blood can flow through the arteries and as a result, the heart muscle can't get the blood or oxygen it needs. Over time, CAD can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmia - which can be a lead cause to Cardiac Arrest."
Alex felt guilty from pressure of the nasty doctor, like it was her fault. She did not know any of this stuff about her fathers medical issues. Each time she thought of this, she thought of the reason why he was here. Who would hurt her father? the blood loss then triggered the Cardiac Arrest. Alex's poor little mind was constantly ticking over to no end. Alex was no doctor, she needed to find out as much info and spending time with her father even if he was sleeping - if she lost him, at least she had time around him. Alex moved the curtain barrier so she could peer through, peacefully sleeping was her father. He was connected to a new drip Magnesium Drip which results in relaxation of the heart and dilates blood vessels. This allows the heart to work more efficiently - that made Alex less nervous, it meant that his heart was stable.
Alex began to pace while her father mildly snored. Not that it was a humorous time for Alex, it just seemed to make her laugh while taking her back to old memories. She stopped pacing and walked over to the bed "so much for a week up here - remember your plan, to visit mum? Few hours from home but look where we are (at least it isn't school with that bonehead Byron), a place i never wanted to end up in especially from something as serious as what happened. I love you dad, whether you heard that or not, i love you" Alex began to sob and a tear accidentally fell on her father hand, she began to get embarrassed hoping he didn't feel it. She calmed down and began to talk again "I'm sorry for all the years of grief i caused you. I realise i was quite immature and well 'reckless'. i didn't think you cared ... for me. i mean - well- *sigh* we have been through some time together - but you better promise that you'll stay tough! You might seem weak but you are a demon but even more so ... you are my father".
On that note Claude began to move ...
