Chapter 84 - Awake

Spade was still standing near the door and staring at the secret door where the young man went inside.

While Spade was in deep thought, the young mans' secretary came inside the messy room. He ordered some servants to clean the room.

The servants started cleaning, the pieces of broken glasses started making noises as they were being swept.

The young man's secretary took a glance at Spade and spoke, ''I'm so sorry young master Spade. I didn't know that young master would know that you went outside the house.'' The secretary apologizes. Partially, he was also at fault why Spade was scolded. He only gave him information about Ayesha's whereabouts and also took him to where she is.

"It's okay. I was only scolded not killed.'' Spade smile. ''Thank you for helping me see my sister again. I just can't wait to for his plans.'' Spade added and he bowed down to the secretary. He is no longer the proud young master of the Gonzales Family. He is just merely a dead person to them.

''You don't need to thank me, young master Spade. I know the feeling of not seeing your loves once for eight years.'' The secretary said. Spade didn't utter a single word.

" Would you like to have some tea, young master?" The secretary asked but Spade just declined, saying that he wants to retire to his room.

The secretary just bowed and Spade went to the room ȧssigned for him. He laid on his bed, his whole body aching. It was not too long since he had woken up from a coma.

The young man stared at the ceiling. Thinking of the day when he had woken up from a very long sleep.

-FLASHBACK-

It was already midnight in France when the young man woke up from his slumber because his phone kept on ringing.

Despite his sleepiness, he took his phone and answered the call without looking at the caller's name.

"Hello" he answered, his voice is still groggy.

"Young Master, he is finally awake." the young man's secretary's words woke him up.

"I'll be there in a minute." he said and ended the call.

He immediately stood up from the bed and took his coat along with his car keys, and hurriedly went out of his room.

He ran towards the parking lot and he got inside the car, revived its engine and drove off not minding if he broke the speed limit and rules.

"Finally you are awake." The man mumbled to himself and sped the car up. He arrives at a house far away from the city.

"Is he still awake?" he asked immediately when he saw his secretary walking towards him.

"Yes young master he is awake but he is in a daze." his secretary informed him. The two of them walked towards a room, the room was all white and there were machines all over the place, the young man went inside first and his secretary followed behind him.

"Welcome back to the land of the living." he said to the man laying on the bed. The man just stared at him without blinking.

"He was a fortunate man. Being able to wake up after a long years in coma.'' The doctor uttered.

''Can he possibly be able to regain his strength for a short span of treatment?'' The young man asked the doctor.

''All his wounds have healed, the only thing he needs to do is to regain his strength and it's up to his will power.'' The doctor answered and the young man glanced at the person who was just blankly staring at him.

''Just make sure to help him recover all his strength." he said and looked at the man again and spoke, " I bet you would still remember her when you two would meet again, Spade."

''Prepare all the things he needs for the treatment. Also gave him her picture. I bet he will remember her.'' The young man uttered again and left the room. He also needs to go back to his house to prepare something.

''Eight years huh!'' Spade mumbled. He spent eight years lying on the bed, doing nothing aside from sleeping.

''If only you hadn't kidnapped her and brought her to that place. I won't be in this position that I'm in right now.'' He mumbled again and took a piece of paper. It was a photo of the young Ayesha.

"You surely did grow up into a beautiful woman. When I was asleep, I always dreamt of you in your little form. You were always calling my name.'' Spade ċȧrėssed the photo, when he saw her earlier, he wanted to rub towards the other side of the street and embrace his sister but all he could do is stare at her confused face.

''I'm so sorry baby lili, brother was not able to stay by your side. I broke my promise to protect you.'' Spade's eyes started to water. Tears slowly glide down to his cheeks.

Just thinking of the days that were wasted from being apart with his sister made Spade's heart hurt like it was being squeezed and pierced with tiny needles.

"I wasn't able to fulfill my role as your brother this past eight years. I was not by your side when you got sick or when you had your birthdays specially on your eighteenth birthday. I even promised that I will be your last dance and I wasn't able to scare the young lads who tried to hit on you. I wonder if you have someone you love already.'' Spade started talking to the picture, he didn't mind if he looks like someone who lost his mind. Besides he was the only one present in the big room.

"I'll make sure to protect you this time but first I need to regain all my strength and I need to gather information about the man who saved me that time. I'll promise, I will introduce myself properly the next time we meet.'' Spade ċȧrėssed the picture and place it on his heart as he cried, letting out the worries, frustrations and longingness that he felt when he saw his only sister.
