CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

 

 

Gabrielle’s sleep was constantly interrupted by a beeping sound.

She groan softly as she felt immense pain on her head and the voices didn’t make it even better.

Her eyes fluttered open but her vision was blurred she couldn’t make out the figures Infront of her.

“She’s awake sir.” She an unfamiliar voice and a frown adorn her face as tried to move her hands but couldn’t for she feels pain all over her body it was like she’d been hit by a moving truck.

She blinked rapidly and slowly her vision became clear.

“Hey look at me.” She turned to her left and found Xavier seating beside her bed while holding her hand in his.

“Don’t move around to avoid opening up your wounds.” He sounded like he was coaxing her.

“What happened? Where am I?” She asked and tried to touch her throbbing head and winced in pain when her hand came in contact with the bandage.

For a moment she thought she saw pain in his eyes but counted it as hallucination.

“Hospital…You were in an accident.” He sighed softly and stood up.

And that was when it all came rushing back to her as she remembered what he’d done.

Her face instantly became cold as she looked away from him.

“I want to be left alone.” She mumbled and she heard him walk away without saying a word.

And that was when she dropped the shield and sobbed quietly.

He didn’t even tried explain himself and left without a second thought.

A part of her wish he’d stood his ground and tried talking to her but he left like she ment nothing, oh right she meant nothing anyways she’s just a tool for his pointless revenge.

Gabrielle was lost in thoughts that she didn’t see the two people that walked into the vvip ward.

“Make sure there’s nothing else to worry about else you can kiss your job goodbye.” She heard that deep voice again but didn’t turn around for she doesn’t wanna find out it was all in head but Opened her eyes when she heard an unfamiliar voice again.

“How are you feeling ma’am?” The doctor asked with a nervous smile and Gabby turned to the man leaning against the wall silently.

“My head hurts.” She mumbled with her eyes down.

So he’d gone to call the doctor and she only overthinking things.

“Hmm I see.” The doctor began writing on his patients notes.

“Do you feel any discomfort anywhere. Do you remember your name?” He asked the important questions and Gabby nodded.

 

“I feel weak and my legs are jelly.” She answered honestly.

“It’s only natural you feel weak for someone who has been out for Four days.” The doctor stated and Gabby widened her eyes in surprise.

“Wait what?” She turned to Xavier who Locked eyes with her and looked away.

“You’ve been out for days now making your husband worried all through.”

 

“That’s enough Frank you can leave now.” Xavier growl and the doctor immediately zipped his mouth and scram.

 

Once it was just the two of them the room it became awkwardly silent.

Gabby stole a quick glance at the man as he walked towards the balcony of the ward.

He lit up a cigarette and leaned against the railing overlooking the hospital garden.

His shoulders were hung low making anyone think he was lonely as he smoked quietly.

He cursed irritably and broke the cigarette and dump it in the trash can before walking back to the room.

“Are you hungry? Is there anything you would like to eat?” He asked while staring at the little woman on the bed.

“I’m not hungry.” Gabrielle lied with a straight face.

“Well you have to eat no matter how hard you try to resist.” He undid the first three buttons of his black sleeves revealing his tattoos as he sat down in front of her.

 

“I said I’m not hungry! So please stop acting like you actually care.” She lashed at him.

 

“You’re right I don’t f*cking care…” He stood up unhurriedly and walked away with his hands shoved into his pocket.

Gabrielle looked at his retrieving back and burst into tears again.
