Chapter 314 - Heroic deed

Not wasting anytime, Janet rushed out of the room. 

Looking around, Silvia realised that she was in the hospital. Holding her throbbing head, Silvia tried to get up but her body felt weak and her throat felt extremely dry. 

Whatever she had seen, was it a dream or a reality? Was it possible to talk to someone whom she had never seen? The more she thought about the weird and strange encounter with aunt Tili, her head throbbed more and more.

Just then Dr Bailey entered the room along with Janet. 

"Oh thank God you are awake nurse Silvia." Dr Bailey breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started checking her vitals.

Silvia wanted to say something but her throat felt very dry. Placing her hand on her neck, she gestured Janet to give her some water. 

Janet quickly poured a glass of warm water for her and helped Silvia drink from it.

"Take a few sips first." Janet instructed.

After soothing her throat, Silvia pressed her hand on her forehead and asked, "Why does my head hurt so much?"

"Do you feel any other discomfort?" Dr Bailey asked.

"My body feels very weak and tired." 

"Well, that will surely surely happen if you wake up after two days." Dr Bailey explained.

Silvia widened her eyes in shock and asked, "What? Two days?" 

Janet sighed and helplessly shook her head. "Sil you have no idea what happened in the past two days. Though the doctors said that you would wake up after a few hours but when you didn't, Kevin went crazy. He created a ruckus in the chief's office and he also decided to pull away all his investments from the hospital. They even had to call for an emergency board meeting yesterday. In short, your husband has gone crazy." Leaning towards Silvia, Janet whispered, "He even lashed out at Dr Bailey several times." 

"What?" Silvia couldn't believe that so many things happened when she was unconscious for only two days. "Didn't mom and dad stop him?"

"He refused to listen to anyone. Rocky, Chris and Matt tried a lot too but I don't know what got into him. I had never imagined that Kevin could also be this wild and violent. I thought he was sweet and a simple man but-" stopping midway, Janet sighed, "He loves you like crazy Sil."

Turning towards Dr Bailey, Silvia pursed her lips and apologised. "I am so sorry Dr Bailey." Dr Bailey was one of the senior and renowned doctors of the hospital. Silvia felt very awkward when Janet told her that Kevin actually lashed out at him not once but several times.

Dr Bailey smiled and said, "It's alright, I understand how Mr Austin must have felt when you did not wake up even after we assured him that you would. He seems very sensitive towards you so why don't you try and take good care of yourself? This way Mr Austin will never lose his cool."

Silvia was about to say something when Kevin entered the room. 

Standing at the door with his hands tucked inside his pocket, Kevin did not walk towards Silvia. Instead, he chose to stand near the door with an expressionless face. 

Looking at his expressions, Silvia pursed her lips. He looked super mad and pissed. His clothes were crumbled and messy. After seeing the thick bags under his eyes, his dull and unshaved face, Silvia could make out that he hadn't slept at all. 

"Everything seems normal but we will still have to run a few tests on you." Dr Bailey informed.

"Dr Bailey what about that little boy? I couldn't feel his carotid pulse so I gave the CPR but-"

Cutting Silvia off, Kevin hissed, "You still have the strength to think about someone else when you are still lying in the hospital bed after being unconscious for two days?" 

Dr Bailey awkwardly scratched his forehead and cleared his throat. "Why don't you take rest first? We can talk about it later?"

When Silvia frowned, Dr Bailey added, "Don't worry, the boy is stable now and thanks to your first aid measures."

Silvia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded her head.

After giving Silvia a hug, Janet left along with Dr Bailey giving the couple some space to talk things out.

After everyone left, Silvia looked at her angry husband who was still standing in the same spot. 

Walking towards her, Kevin sat down on the edge of the bed. After a few minutes, when he did not say anything, Silvia poked his arm and asked, "Are you mad?"

Kevin mocking chuckled and said, "No, why should I be mad? My life just did a heroic deed, she entered the building which was on fire to save a stranger. She risked her life and decided to save someone whom she has no connection with. Why should I be mad? Infact, I should praise you for jumping into fire without caring about your life. So tell me Silvia, what kind of prize do you want for your heroic deed?"

Silvia frowned and pouted her lips. "Hey, you don't have to be sarcastic okay? Just scold me but don't be so mad and-"

Cutting her off, Kevin shouted, "You think this is funny? Whatever you did is funny?" 

When Silvia did not say anything, Kevin added, "Did you think about me even for once before you decided to act all heroic and mighty? Did you think what would happen to me if anything happened to you? Do you have any idea what would've happened if the fire was massive? Why did I appoint so many guards for you? To keep you safe, to keep you away from all the danger but what did you do? You decided to take a studip decision and save someone whom you had never seen before. Do you even know his name?" 

Silvia frowned and said, "So were you expecting me to just stay still and not do anything even though I knew that little boy was stuck right there? Do you have any idea what would've happened if I had decided to stay quiet and wait for the police and firefighters to take action? He would've died."

"Were you the only one there? Were the guards around you dead? Couldn't you just ask one of them to go me fetch him?" Kevin shouted.

"Your men wouldn't have been able to help him. He collapsed on the ground Kevin and I couldn't even feel his carotid pulse. I had to give him CPR to revive him back." Silvia explained.
