Chapter 91: You Saved Me
"What’s wrong with him?" Zevian asked with a frown, having no clue that Dominic’s tumor had reoccurred. Natalie didn’t respond and sent him the address before ending the call.
"His tumor has returned," Evelyn murmured, making Zevian turn to her in shock. "She discovered it last night when they sat to sign the divorce papers," she added, recalling how Natalie had confessed to them this morning. It was a shitty mess and seemed to have gotten only messier.
"Let’s go!" Zevian murmured, picking up his coat. Evelyn nodded and picking a long coat from her wardrobe, she followed him out.
They reached the garage and taking one of the keys, Evelyn stated, "I’ll drive." Since John had already retired home after dropping Zevian, it was best if she drove the car instead of waiting for him to come again. It was past midnight and bothering other staff would only take much more time.
Zevian nodded and quickly hopped into the driver’s seat. Evelyn started the engine and raced through the city roads. They reached the Hope Hospital within a couple of minutes, one of the best cancer research hospitals in their city.
"Zev!" Natalie rushed to her brother as soon as they reached the neurosurgery department, with Avery waiting for them outside Dominic’s ward. Sabrina was already here and crying inside, so they decided to wait rather than give her a chance to make a scene in front of the unconscious Dominic and his doctors.
Evelyn reached to Avery who briefed her with a small sigh, "His assistant had called her and we rushed here. We informed Uncle John but not Rose who is asleep with Kia and Lily."
Evelyn nodded and the best friend held each other’s hands, glancing at Zevian who was trying to calm down Natalie. He thought his sister would be finally free from this shit but fate decided to take her all back to zero. As much as he hated Dominic for mistreating her all these years, a part of him felt bad for his state, having seen what he had gone through nine years ago. He just hoped that the past to not repeat itself and put Natalie in a cyclone again.
"What did the doctor say?" Zevian asked breaking the hug. His hand supported Natalie’s shoulder trembling in terror, her tears getting worse with each minute.
"We didn’t get to speak with them. Sabrina came as soon as we entered and asked us to get lost, so we are waiting here." Avery replied, her voice slightly tinged with frustration. That woman still acted like it was all their fault and felt like slapping some reality into her.
Evelyn sighed softly, her eyes fixed on Natalie. Avery had given a small briefing of how Dominic got sick and they had secretly shifted to Aracamia until he got better. Natalie had taken care of him day and night and this situation might have flooded her with all those memories, putting her in a tight spot to give up on him entirely.
