Mike’s POV
“How is he feeling now?”
“He should be waking up soon”
“Have you told Jessica about him so she would not be worried?”
“When he woke up yesterday, he said not to tell her anything ”
“Why? Are they quarrelling?”
“They were fighting the last time they met but am sure Xavier just doesn’t want her to be worried about him”
“Okay then, I will be hanging up, I have temporary took over till he comes back and he better come back soon, I have retired long since”
“Okay, bye sir, take care”
The call ended, it was Xavier grandpa, he temporarily took over the company affairs due to Xavier’s injury, the scandal was long since settled, it has been three days since then and Xavier woke up only twice since then, he is out of danger, only at risk of opening up his wounds but he has been still so that’s not happening in any moment.
* In the middle of the night *
* Just call my name am yours to be *
* All night long, till morning comes *
My ringtone music blasts off, waking me up in the process, I rubbed my eyes a little to wake up a little, I looked at the screen and it was the people I hired to guide Jessica and inform me about her movements in case something similar to happened to Xavier try to occur, I wonder why the were calling, I pressed the green button.
“So, what is it?”
“Boss, it’s about Mrs McCartney ”
“What happened!?”
I stood up in shock (God please let her be safe please )
“She is meeting up with that guy from last time, Mr Collins ”
“Why? What are they both doing and is she following him to anywhere?”
“No sir, they are at her company’s staff cafe, and I think she believes he that he did the interview to help her irrespective of him being at a disadvantage ”
“Okay, then, as long as they are not doing anything weird, follow them and keep a close eye on that guy, I don’t trust him one but at all, so be careful, he is quite sneaky”
“Okay, sir”
We both hanged up and I plopped down on the sofa I was sitting on previously, Xavier being in a VIP private room has his perks, this hospital is owned by them so this is their ward and it was decorated to his grandfather’s taste but it’s still exquisite.
“You are a strong bastard so why are you still lying down there? Isn’t it about time you wake up, Xavier?”
“Wh… who a… are y… yo …. you call… calling a b… bas.. bastard?”
“Xavier! You are awake, thank goodness, thought you wouldn’t wake up”
“Water”
“Oh, here, let me help you sit up a little ”
I helped him sat up, due to it being long since he moved his body, his back joints cracked as he moved.
I fed him water and he wanted to sit up soma propped pillows around him and at his back so that he is comfortable and also won’t upset his injury and tear his stitches.
“How is Jessica doing?”
“She is well, she has gone back t work after receiving an official apology to all involved, so she is well”
“Has she called my line ever since?”
“Well apart from the day you both quarrelled and the time of the scandal, she haven’t called since then”
“Okay, how about the company?”
“Your grandpa is taking care of it, he is working from the comfort of his house so there is nothing to be worried about ”
“He must be throwing a tantrum now because of it, he retired long but is still forced to work ”
“He understands that it’s not your fault and he called this morning too, he was really grumpy, so better be well ”
The doctor came in and I have to leave to give them space, I used this opportunity to go home and freshen up, there was cloths and a nice bathroom but I haven’t seen Laura for two days now, need to see her
I arrived at my house and the lights were off except for our room, I stealthily entered and walked up to the room, I peered in and she had fallen asleep with a book on her face, I removed it and kept it carefully, I went into the bathroom, did my business and freshened up, I came up put on my pajamas and cuddled up to her, she would be so surprised when she wakes up in the morning.
XAVIER’S POV
“Doc, I hope I can be discharged tomorrow, there are a lot of things I need to do”
“Though I suggest you still stay here for two weeks, I know you won’t stay, just be careful not to get water on your bandage, be careful not to open up your wound because we have to Stitch it back up, which means more hospital time, eat porridge for now, avoid greasy, flavour and spicy food for now, I think you are good to go tomorrow ”
“Thank you doc”
“No problem, get some rest now”
They left and am alone, I took my phone from the nightstand and opened it, I wanted to call Jessica but after twiddling, I gave up and called my grandfather instead.
“Hello, grandfather, it’s Xavier ”
“Been wondering when you will wake up”
“Sorry for making you worry ”
“I wasn’t worried just angry, I had to work, hmmm, I have you found out who is behind this attack on you?”
“So far nothing, it wasn’t from the company, it’s an outside interference, I doubt it’s any of the shareholders, I had them all investigated, I also tried Marcus but got nothing from him, he wasn’t even in the country then, he travelled out with his actress girlfriend ”
“Then who ?”
