Chapter 103: He Was Gone
The doctor that had followed Evelyn couldn’t help but smile looking at the scene in front of him. Zevian had already woken up before Evelyn earlier this morning but they still kept him in the ICU, as he had fallen asleep right after due to the extreme exhaustion his body had to go through during that accident. And his wife’s cries might have disturbed his rest, but he knew Zevian would be more than glad to see her too.
Avery who was outside, waiting by the door teared up looking at the couple. Damien who had accompanied her for the last two days, closely watching over Zevian rushed toward the room, followed by his assistant and brother-in-law Lucius.
"Is he awake?" Damien asked, trying to peek through the small glass screen of the door.
Avery turned around and nodded, her tears flowing out freely. "They both woke up!" She replied, before hugging him tightly.
Damien stumbled behind at her unexpected action, side-glancing at the other two men who were equally stunned like him. Heaving a small sigh, he wrapped his arms around her, gently patting the crazy cat’s head. The last few days had been quite stressful for her, managing both families, looking after her friend, and worried sick about her cousin. It was natural to react this way and he knew she would have hugged someone else too if they were in his place.
"Stop crying. Someone will think they are dead with the way you are overacting," Damien grumbled after quite a few seconds, his words making Lucius shake his head in annoyance. His low EQ was the reason no women were ready to date him, and he was sure this mob would die single.
Avery scowled at his words and sniffled against his chest. It took a second for her to realize that she was hugging him and she instantly moved back, turning away in embarrassment. Wiping her tears, she quickly took out her phone and murmured, "I-I will inform Aunt Rose," before running away.
Damien frowned, his eyes fixed on her back. He shook away and moved closer to the door to confirm they were awake. Lucius and Ben also didn’t think much about it and patiently waited for their turn to see Zevian.
Once she was out of their sight, Avery leaned over the railing of the steps and recalled how she had literally pounced on him. She shook her head, trying to erase the memory from her mind. It was because she was emotional! She reminded herself and sighed softly.
Unlocking her phone, she quickly informed both the families that were worried sick of the couple. Even William had stubbornly waited here for an entire day that she forced everyone to go back home, assuring to inform if either one of them woke up.
While inside Zevian’s room, the doctor noticed how Evelyn was leaning too much on her husband. Though he hated to break their little respite, Zevian was still unwell and they needed to be careful around him. Stepping forward, he softly said, "Please be careful, Mrs. Reign. You might open up his wounds."
