*Driver found guilty in Van Rensberg accident*
Three months after the car accident that has left businesswoman Ivy Van Rensberg in a comatose state since, the trial has finally finished against the man responsible.
56 year old Victor Zanther ran a red light on the morning of the 10th June and Miss Van Rensberg and her mother Miss Zara Viljoen were injured in the accident. Miss Viljoen escaped with minor injuries and a concussion but her daughter was not as lucky.
Ivy Van Rensberg has been left comatose since the incident, which sadly happened on the day she discovered she was expecting twins with fiancée Daniel Sullivan.
Sullivan is a lawyer and partner at Harper and Cole, who were the legal representatives for Miss Van Rensberg in the case. Victor Zanther was found guilty of various crimes including both bodily and driving offences.
Miss Van Rensberg is the biological sister of Christian Grey of Grey Enterprises, she is also the CEO and head of Van Rensberg Inc's American department. In her absence the California department is being run by her uncle Jacob Van Rensberg.
Daniel threw the newspaper to one side and looked over the room at Ivy, watching as her chest slowly rose and fell, the machines beeping slowly.
Her stomach had begun to swell not long after the accident and now, at nearing five months pregnant with twins, she was quite large.
Daniel had spent hours and hours in the hospital room, speaking to Ivy and begging her to wake back up.
Of course, she hadn't. Grace had explained that the injuries Ivy had sustained were severe, though thankfully her brain activity was normal and she wouldn't be left brain dead as initially expected.
They had expected her to suddenly wake up and be back to normal as soon as the swellings and injuries had gone down and healed but that hadn't happened.
Grace had been forced to sit down with Daniel and Christian to explain the situation.
Ivy had no medical reason to be remaining in the coma, she would wake up but it was a simple matter of when.
The injuries had been sharp, bad and brutal- her body was probably still in a state of shock.
Ivy would be waking up when her body and her brain decided they wanted to, and there was nothing any of them could do to speed it along.
Due to the trial Jacob Van Rensberg was in town from California, and he'd come to the hospital to visit his niece again.
He was a tall, lean man with dark slightly curly hair and green eyes.
Jacob was the second youngest of the Van Rensberg siblings and was visiting Ivy whenever he could between looking after the American side of the business for her.
Jacob was incredibly fond of his niece and was running the California office for free- fifteen years as an investment banker had seen him more than financially stable, and he wanted to be in the country to keep an eye on Ivy anyway.
Ana had driven with Jacob and Christian to the hospital after the hearing to see Ivy.
Christian had stalked off to see yet another expert or specialist somewhere in the hospital leaving Ana and Jacob to get a coffee.
Ana made a vague mention of Christian and Ivy's father, which made Jacob narrow his eyes
'don't get me wrong, I love my brother, but he's not been a good parent to Ivy...I suppose better him than that bitch Zara I guess, people like her shouldn't be allowed to procreate, frankly'.
Ana's eyebrows rose up and Jacob shrugged
'you can look at me like that all you want but Ivy's really struggled for years...she's insanely smart but the only thing Ivy ever wanted was a parent- and she never got that did she? That's why she was cutting and using the drugs...only way to cope I guess'.
Jacob was quiet for a second, looking sad before glancing at his phone 'I've got some calls to make..'.
Without another word Jacob moved off, looking upset.
Back in her room, Daniel stroked Ivy's hair away from her face, speaking quietly
'Ivy... You have to wake up, you'll want to see our babies, they're getting so big now...I don't want you to miss anything'.
Idly he thought about the envelope in his pocket that had the findings from the last scan, telling him what sexes the babies were.
Daniel felt bad not waiting for Ivy to wake up to look at the results but in his heart of hearts he knew that they might arrive before she regained consciousness.
With a sigh, Daniel pulled the envelope out and opened it, reading with surprise the results on what sexes his 'Baby A' and 'Baby B' actually were.
