Chapter 187 - Panic

Raymond massaged his head which suddenly felt dizzy. This incident was completely unexpected, even before his father entered the room and parted with him, his father still advised him to get ready quickly because he wanted to meet Bryana soon.

"Honey, call Jill or Dean. tell about this incident, because they must be waiting for us," cried Raymond anxiously.

Instantly Monica understood the eyes while patting her forehead for a moment. "Gosh, I forgot to bring my phone because I was in a hurry. Didn't you bring it too?"

"No, I was in a hurry too!" Raymond looked frustrated and looked back at the emergency room door which was still tightly closed. "Dad is very enthusiastic about going to Jakarta and meeting Jill, but why has it turned out like this. Dad can't slip in his bathroom which as far as I know Emma is always diligent in cleaning. I'm sure, I'm sure someone is trying to harm him!"

Monica was silent and restless. "I went out there for a while to borrow the hospital phone."

Raymond just nodded and let Monica leave him by walking down the hospital corridor towards the outside where there was registration and administration room.

Bryana was able to sleep soundly because of Dean's arms who were only naked and the cool feeling from the direction of the bedroom window which was deliberately opened slightly to add fresh air because the cold air conditioner did not make her comfortable.

dean put his arm around Bryana and started to close his eyes because he'd been holding back sleep all along.

Drettt... Drettt...

Suddenly Bryana's smartphone which was on the table near the bed rang. Dean, who had not been sleeping well, woke up and stretched out his right hand to take the phone.

"Oh my God, who else is calling in the middle of the night?" Dean looked at the smartphone where there was an incoming call with a phone number instead of an Indonesian code. "From London?"

Out of curiosity, Dean immediately answered the call. "Hello?"

"Hello, Dean. It's me, Monica," Monica said over the phone.

"Monica? What's wrong, weren't you on your way here?" Dean asked as he sat up and leaned against the headboard. Bryana who felt Dean's movement woke up and glanced at her husband who was talking on the phone.

"Dean, Daddy is injured. Now his condition is critical. Of course, we will cancel our trip to Indonesia."

"Injured, critical?" Dean looked surprised. "Why is that? What happened?"

Bryana who was eavesdropping became worried and asked, "Who? Who was hurt?"

Dean stared at Bryana silently and returned his focus to the phone.

"I can't explain anything because there were no witnesses at all. I have to go to Raymond right now, he's waiting for dad."

"Alright then."

The phone line was hung off. dean looked weak looking at Bryana who had been sad for a long time, apparently having to accept this bad news.

"Honey, who's hurt? Don't be silent, answer me!" Bryana was getting impatient and looked annoyed at Dean.

"Dad was injured and is now critical," Dean explained sadly.

Bryana was silent for a moment as if her throat was strangled unable to say anything. Her eyes slowly reddened and filled with tears as she remembered the face of her father, whom she had missed for a long time, turned out to be injured before he had time to go to see her.

"We... We have to go to London tonight as well. I want to see how daddy is," Bryana stuttered and tears started to fall. The memory of not seeing her mother while she was still breathing made her fear that it would happen to her father too. "No, that can't happen. He has to live to be very old and watch my kids grow up!"

"Honey, it's late. We'll just go there tomorrow," said Dean realizing Bryana also lacked rest during the day, especially since the trip to London took quite a long time plus she was pregnant, of course, she needed maximum energy and body health.

"Tomorrow? I can't delay any longer. we're leaving now we'll only be arriving tomorrow, and if we leave tomorrow, it's going to take longer!" Bryana protested and immediately got out of bed, grabbed her smartphone that was on the table.

"Hello, Robin, get ready for a flight to London tonight. I'll be at the airport in an hour," Bryana shouted, then hung up the phone without waiting for a response from the caller.

dean sighed, looking at Bryana who was impatient and had even prepared to leave on a private jet. He had to obey it like it or not or things would get worse, at least, he could still rest inside because the private jet was being used.

"I'll wake the kids," Dean said getting out of bed.

"I'll prepare some clothes, tell Lauren to prepare the children's clothes too," Bryana exclaimed as she got out of bed. The feeling of drowsiness, aches or heat, suddenly disappears, turning into panic.

Monica returned to Raymond who was sitting quietly as if contemplating. She sat beside him and put her arm around his shoulder, trying to calm him down. this was the first time she saw her man who used to be firm, tough, strong, always optimistic, now looked lethargic without showing any passion for life at all

"Patience, we must believe that Daddy will be strong, will survive, and will still be with us as usual," Monica said with a sad look.

"This is the second time I'm in this state. I used to watch how mommy was hurt and I waited for her, just like this. Then the doctor said that she didn't survive, my world seemed to be collapsing, and only my dad always strengthened me," Raymond said while remembering his dark past didn't feel a single tear fell."Mom died before I could show my daughter-in-law, and give grandchildren, don't let dad be like that too," he continued, remembering how Bryana always felt incomplete when she was happy with Calvin who didn't have the chance to see her grandmother's face in person.

Monica pulled Raymond in her arms, letting his husband's face rest on her shoulder, then she rubbed his back. "God must have other plans for us. What happened to mother, it was her fate line. we just need to try and pray to God, so that father can have better luck, can return to health, and reunite with us."

"Hopefully." Raymond let go of Monica's arms and looked back at the ER door. "Why is it taking so long, is dad really in a fatal state? I am so scared!"

"Let's just pray," Monica cried, trying to calm Raymond down.

"Have you been able to contact Jill?" Raymond asked.

"I did, I told Dean," Monica replied.

Raymond nodded and took a heavy breath, then glanced at Monica and asked, "are they going here?"

"I don't know, I'm just telling them," replied Monica, looking at Raymond's reddened eyes and there were tears in his eyes. she gently wiped her husband's tears. "I didn't expect my strong man to cry. Trust me, dad will be safe and he will laugh at you if he finds out you're crying."

Raymond smiled and lowered his head. "I'm just too scared to face the reality that I don't want to. But... I'm glad you're by my side to always support me."

"Because I love you," Monica said with a smile trying to comfort Raymond who was scared.
