Chapter 38 - 38

It has been over an hour and the doctors had yet to give the Devon family a proper answer to what is wrong with Reiner. The doctors were sweating out of fear for their lives should happen to Reiner and they were blamed for it. They gave all the treatment that they could and prayed for him to get well so that they could find peace themselves.

Everyone was getting worried for Reiner. Mason summoned all the best doctors in the city to came and attend to his son. And without wasting any time all the invited doctors made it to the hospital in no time. All were given a chance to examine Reiner but even they couldn't explain what was wrong with him.

They injected him with sleeping drugs and let him sleep. They transferred him to a private room where they would observe him and give him treatment and his family was allowed to meet him.

Rocky rushed into the room and went to her brother's side. She sat on the bed and held her brother's hands and massaged them. The others walked into the room one by one and took their stand around Reiner's bed.. The sight in front of them caused them a lot of pain and suffering.

"Rain, my dear. Open your eyes and.."

"Didn't you what the doctor said," Rocky interrupted Lara as she was talking to Reiner. "He needs rest," she added.

"I heard what he said but what is wrong with me talking to my son?" asked Lara.

"The fact that you aren't even ashamed to ask that Is the problem. Your son? Oh please, goodness knows what shameless pill you took before coming to the hospital that has left you with no restraint."

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

"Don't glare at me or question me. You lost that right when you left us."

"Both of you stop it!" Mason screamed at his daughter and ex-wife. He couldn't believe how they both can choose this to be the time for them to fight whiles his son was fighting for his life. He felt like throwing all of them out of the room and giving his son peace but he chose to end the fight instead. "Reiner is sick. If you have no way to help him get better then at least don't make his situation worse," he said and the room went silent.

In the present

"Doctor, you have a patient," announced one of the nurses interrupting the doctor's story.

"I will come."

The doctor excused himself and we let him go. He didn't tell me much but from his story I at least understand something. Reiner thought I would be happier with Zane and that is why he decided to leave but his heart wanted to stay with me and reacted the same way mine does when I think of losing him. But why does he not remember anything if the problem was with his heart? I still have yet to understand why the doctor said that my name was the trigger of his condition.

Zane got a phone call and went out to receive it. And I was left alone in the room with the nurse that had asked the doctor to leave. I don't know why he is still here or why he is looking at me so strangely but at this point, I don't care. 'I just want to know what is wrong with him,' I thought.

"Knowing what is wrong with him won't do you any good," said the male nurse.

"What?"

"Even if the doctor narrates his life for the past eight years to you it won't help you or him. It won't stop him from dying either," he said and I stood up. I glared at him as if to kill him with my eyes. He has some nerves to say that My Reiner is going to die. How dare he make such assumptions to me, if he says something like that again. He will not make it out of this room alive if I have something to say about it.

"Don't even try that nonsense and before you ask me what I am going on about I should probably warn that I can read your mind. So don't attempt to kill me for speaking the truth."

"How can you be so sure that he will die?"

"Because it is destined. When the two of you strayed away from the path that destiny had written for you, his lifespan was cut short."

"What? What are you talking about?" I asked worried about the loose screws on the guy's head. I wonder where this hospital found such a crazy nurse or why he is licensed to work in a hospital when he should be locked away in the mental asylum.

"The thing is right now you both were supposed to be happily married with a son. But because of going away from the destined path, you are both suffering now. His case is worse because he cut ties with you and now your bond is killing him," he said in all seriousness and I think I am beginning to believe him but not so much since he is speaking a lot of rubbish.

"And you know this how?"

"That is not important. What is important is what you are willing to do to save your love?"

"Nothing, because he is not my love," I said sure that Reiner would probably not like it if I go around telling people that he is mine in any way.

"It is that stupidity that has him on the hospital bed and if you wish to join him then keep that mentality. It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not the fact won't change that the two of you are destined partners. Your hearts are linked in one heartbeat and when one strays from the other it will stop beating. In this case, Reiner's heart, body, and mind are giving out because he tried to break the link."

"But if breaking the link is causing this can't you just fix the link?" I asked going along with his theory which at least explains this weird thing between Reiner and me.

"Of course because I am a magician," he said sarcastically. "The link the two of you share is called a true love tie. Such a tie is not easy to come by, it is born from the act of true love in a past life. From it, destiny blesses the lovers the chance at love again but with the bond of their past love." he continued making my head spine trying to understand a word that he said.

"For the link to be broken or fixed it has to be done by either one of the lovers. No outsider can interfere in this," he said.

"Then what do I have to do?"

"Make a wish," he said and I almost burst out laughing. I think that this nurse has watched a lot of fairy movies growing up that he has completely lost his senses. I too have lost my mind to be listening and contributing to this.

"To save Reiner won't you give my suggestion a try. I have seen you fight death for him, then how hard can it be for you to believe me if it ends up saving him?" he asked and I eyed him with worry. A part of me was saying scream for help but the other part wanted to listen.

"When did I fight death for him?" I asked him.

"How do you think you earned the bond of true love tie in your past life?"
