Chap 49 - Dead!

Here we are standing outside the ICU, waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us about
Mr. Knight condition

Aaron was holding my hand giving me much-needed support

If you are thinking about who was at the call, then let me tell you, it was a call from the hospital telling that Mr. Knight is out of the coma but his condition is very critical.

We rushed to the hospital, me, Aaron and Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Liam wanted to come but Aaron stopped him.

The doctor came out,

"Ms. Isabelle?"

"It's me!"

"The patient is calling you, you can go inside but please don't give him any stress or something, he is very critical. Usually, we don't let the family members meet the patient in this condition but he was insisting since the time he knew it was you who was there with him!"

I looked at Aaron and he squeezed my hand while nodding

I hesitantly nodded at the doctor and went in.

When I entered, I saw Mr. Knight laying there in a defeated condition, looking at the ceiling not moving or anything

For a minute I didn't move because I couldn't

I cleared my throat to gain his attention, he looked at me, and there I saw a man who had lost everything, even the will to live.

He smiled at me for the first time I ever remember

"Isabelle!"

Usually, I was called a bitch by him

I nodded

"Come near!" His voice was hoarse

I stood near him

"I'll directly say what I have to say because I know I don't have much time, I don't know what to say or how to say, I know my one sorry will never be enough but still I want to say sorry for everything" he stopped but I didn't move I just stared at him

"I don't know when and how everything changed, how I changed, how I destroyed everything, how I destroyed my family with my own hands, how I killed my love with my own hands, how I killed my daughter with my own hands"

A tear fell from his left eye

I stood there emotionlessly

"I used to be proud of my wealth, I used to think that I don't need a family, I can have anyone because I have money but see today I have nothing, today my both hands are empty. The people after whom I used to run aren't here, because now I'm not beneficial for them, because today I don't have money"

I gulped but didn't move

"I'm a loser, a bloody loser who lost everything because of his ego, and see today I'm empty-handed lying on my death bed alone, if weren't you may be I would have died, why? Why did you save me? I didn't deserve to be saved, I deserved to die" Tears were falling from his eyes

"Because once upon a time, you used to love mom, once upon a time you were a perfect husband with whom she was very happy, I had to give back your favor, because it's what mom would have wanted"

I said with a straight voice but only I know how am I controlling myself from losing

I clutched my fist

He smiled with tears

"I_cough..."

"You don't have to say anything, rest...."

"Let me say it, I know my time has arrived, I have to go and pay for my deeds. I can't apologize to your mother..... I lost the right to call her my wife, and you Isabelle Miller my daughter"
