Chapter 87 - Whom To Doubt

Lucas was now feeling better after talking to her. She was fine and that's what he needed, her safety was his first priority.

"Sunshine how did this happened ?"he asked pulling back from her embrace.

"I don't know... it happened all of a sudden that , I didn't get a chance to move back" she said recalling the incident.

"I have got hold on the man who was driving the car" he said watching at her wound.

"He needs to get his dose now" he said making her frown.

"Hmm... "she said looking absentmindedly.

Elena didn't wanted to come to a conclusion, she had a doubt which she herself wanted to clear. She wanted to know the reason behind the attack. She wouldn't have doubt if she had not seen the car stop after pushing her. She couldn't see the person, but the car went as soon as crowd gathered around her.

Henry and Julian entered the room when they found their daughter had woken up. Lucas excused himself to let them have their time with her.  He knew they were also worried about her, so he let them have sometime alone together.

"How did this happened ?" Julian inquired. She was hell worried seeing her pale face.

Henry who saw his daughter broke down as soon he had left the room. He wanted to be strong, just to let the man who was also on the verge of breaking down to remain calm. He tried holding but burst as soon as he left the place.

Henry walked to Elena and sat on the chair next to her bed. Caressing her head lovingly Henry tried to control his tear. He was a police officer who would always had to remain calm without showing their vulnerable side to anyone. But his family was his only weakness and he couldn't help but feel scare if anything happened to them.

After talking to her parents about her accident, she waited for them to talk.

"You think it was intentional?" her mother asked.

"I just have a doubt, I can't be fully sure" Elena said.

"And who do you think is behind it?" This time Henry spoke. 

When Elena spoke about the car which pushed here, don't know why but the memory of the car that he saw the other day flashed in front of his eyes. 

"I don't know, but from now on I need to be more alert" Elena said thinking about her safety and not to make them worry.

"Hmm you should" her mother said cutting an apple for her to eat.

Back in the base, the man was held captive by Lucas men. Denial was called by Lucas on his way to the base.

Ethan was watching the man lying on the floor with his hands tied with the rope and his face cover with a black cloth.

"He would have ran if we didn't get hold on him" Ethan said looking at Ron.

When Ron had informed him about Elena accident , Ethan didn't waste a single second to take action and track this man down. Ethan knew Elena's value in Lucas life and if something happens to her, Lucas would burn the whole city in his madness.

"We had to inject anesthesia just to stop him from struggling. What does he eat, he was so hard to control" Ron said blowing his hair.

Both were busy watching the man, when Lucas entered with Daniel.

"Did he create any trouble?" Lucas asked looking at the lying man. 

"Then why do you think he sleeping" Ethan said looking at Lucas.

The man was looking all messed, his hair that used to be comb were fallen on his forehead, his eyes were swollen due to crying and his clothes loosen as if he didn't get a chance to even dress himself.

"Is Elena fine?" Ethan asked watching his friend.

"She is... I need this man awake. I can't wait whole day here just for him to wakeup" Lucas walked to the man and kicked him but the man didn't bulge. He was in deep slumber and was unaware of his surrounding.

"Hold on bro, I have a beautiful idea" Daniel said taking the jar of water and walking to the sleeping man. Removing the cloth off his face, he poured the water on his face.

He man jolted from the sleep after the water fell on his face.

"See he is awake.... and all... yours" Daniel said and moved back letting Lucas walk.

The man was barely awake, to even register what was happening. Lucas squat down holding his collar," Do you know whom you harmed" he spoke but the man was hardly awake to answer.

When Lucas saw the man closing his eyes back, he pushed him back making him fall on the ground.

"How much drug did you injected" Lucas said getting frustrated.

"A whole bottle" Ron said shrugging his shoulder.

"Dude.. do you have any idea. At this much intake he would never wakeup" Daniel said and squat down checking the man's pulse.

Sighing in relief, he stood back and looked at Lucas," He is just sleeping and would only wake unless the drug drains off" Daniel said.

"Let him have his peaceful sleep" Ethan said and walked next to Lucas.

"You need to keep your mind straight, you just can't lose your control" he said patting Lucas back.

"How can I not get angry...."Lucas gritted his teeth trying not to shout," She was lying all pale in the hospital Ethan" he said.

"Relax bro.. I think you should get back to the hospital. Sister-in-law needs you more. We will update when this man wakes up" Daniel assured his brother.

Lucas agreed with them and left the base, keeping the man under their guidance.

Reaching the hospital, Lucas was welcomed by Elena's sleeping self. Henry had called him about their departure and would be back bringing some healthy food cooked by Julian.

Slowly walking to her bed, he laid down adjusting to the little space next tot her. Snuggling to her he wrapped his arms around her slender waist and doze off inhaling her natural scent.

.

.

"How can that be possible?" Natasha yelled on the call she had just received.

"This stupid man can't do a single thing. Get rid of him before he says anything. I don't want to get caught" she said instructing the man on the phone.

"But mam, getting inside Lucas base is impossible" the man said.

"I don't care, I want him dead before he speaks anything" she said and cut the call getting anxious.

She just wanted Lucas and getting him was becoming hard for her, but she was not going to give up. Not so soon until she clear her path. She was determine to get him, he was her obsession, the reason for her madness. After coming so far she won't back down until she gets what she wants.

Elena woke up feeling her throat run dry, she was thirsty and needed water to drink. She tried to moved but found Lucas sleeping next to her. He was hardly sleeping properly on the bed next to her.

She smiled at his sleeping posture and moved a little to give him some more space on the bed. But this man kept snuggling more to her. He had a pout on his face as he slept like a baby embracing his mother.

Elena tried reaching the glass kept on the side table but, failed badly to get hold on it. The glass felt down breaking into pieces and also waking up Lucas in horror.

"What.. what happened ?"he said jolting up and looking here and there around the room.

His worried eyes stopped on this sunshine who was smiling at him," Sunshine..."he said wiping his drool.

"Lucas I'm thirsty.." she said blinking her eyes. 

"Oh.. okay "he immediately climb off the bed and went to fetch water for her. Slowly walking avoiding the pieces of glass, he went and filled another glass for her.

"Here take this" he said passing the water to her. Gulping down the whole glass she felt better. She had been sleeping for so long that she felt thirsty.

"How long did I sleep" she asked him.

"I don't know, but when I came you were already sleeping" he said and again went to sleep next to her. Her embrace was his safe place, which made him forget about his problems.

Spooning her in his embrace, he cuddled her for a while. Elena was now fully awake and was tired of laying on the bed. Her bandages were disturbing her, and the pain in her elbow was making her hand hardly to move.

"Does it pain?" Lucas asked when she struggled in his arms due to the pain she felt.

"No it's bearable" she said and turned to face him. Now both of them were laying facing each other. Lucas was fine to see the color of her face coming back. Her pale face was back to normal and was also smiling looking at him.

"I'm sorry to scare you like this" she said cupping his face.

"I don't accept this type of sorry" he said mischievously.

"I want you to soothe me better than this" he said and moved his face close to her.

Elena understood his words and without letting go a second ,she kissed him asking for forgiveness.
