Chapter 174 - CHAPTER 171

"Her heartbeat is dangerous low" said the nurse.

"Few more seconds" said Dr Schmidt and suddenly the machines went crazy.

"She has stopped breathing" said the nurse.

"She is getting a cardiac arrest" said another nurse.

Dr Schmidt looked up at the nurses and said "start CPR"

The nurses got to work and Dr Schmidt successfully finished the operation.

Dr Atkins got the AED (defibrillator) ready to shock Sabrina.

The nurse Peeled off the sticky pads and attach them to Sabrina's skin, one on each side of the chest.

Once the pads were attached the nurse stopped the CPR and all moved back from Sabrina.

"Clear" said Dr Atkins and placed the prompts on the pads and shocked her on high.

Luckily she only needed to be shocked once and her heart beat started. 

The nurse placed the oxygen mask on her and Sabrina's heart beat  again.

And because the clot was removed from her lung she could breath too.

Dr Atkins and Dr Schmidt looked at eachother and congratulated eachother for a successful operation.

Dr Schmidt walked out of the OT and saw Elisio seated on the chair with his grand daughter.

Elsio stood up seeing the doctor and Taha approached them.

"The operation was a success and she is breathing steadily" said Dr Schmidt and Elisio and Taha smiled wide and looked at eachother and nodded.

"When can I see her? When will she be conscious?" Asked Elisio impatiently.

"She woke up in between the surgery and slipped back to unconsciousness. Her heart even stoped at one point but we got her back" said Dr Schmidt.

"How is her heart rate now?" asked Ermanno standing behind Elisio.

Elisio turned to look at Ermanno and Arlo standing behind him.

"For now all her vitals are normal and so is her breathing. We have to wait 24hrs for her to wake up by herself seeing she woke up once during the operation or.." said Dr Schmidt and looked at Elisio.

"Or what?" Asked Arlo.

"If she doesn't wake up in 24hrs then we have to think of something else" said Dr Schmidt.

"State clearly without running behind the bushes. What do you have in mind?" said Elisio agitated.

"Mr Devonte. She was in a coma and if she doesn't wake up in 24hrs it will mean she slipped back to the coma. The chances of that happening is very high. It was actually unexpected that she even woke up for few seconds" said Dr Schmidt.

"It looked like she only woke up to call your name" said the nurse behind Dr Schmidt smiling dreamily.

"She called me?" Asked Elisio.

"Yes" said the nurse.

Elisio sat back on the chair and Emerald went close to him and wiped a tear that escaped Elisio's eyes.

"See, you called her and she answered you" said Emerald.

Elisio hugged Emerald and then broke the hug and looked at her and said "will you pray with me again?" 

"Aanhann" said Emerald and wrapped her tiny hands around Elisio's neck.

Ermanno called Enrique and everyone present in the church cheered with happiness.

Sabrina was shifted to the ICU and this time no one was allowed to go in for some time. 

"You can meet her tomorrow morning" said the doctor to Elisio.

"We all need to go home and take rest. Elisio you need rest too" said Zeke.

"Home is where my fiore is" said Elisio looking at the ground.

"Dad you can't be like this. Mom wouldn't want this" said Ermanno.

Elisio looked up from where he was seated and said "my fiore will want what I want" 

"You need sleep" said Arlo.

"I can't sleep alone" said Elisio.

"I'll sleep with you papa. I'll even sing you a good night song" said Emerald.

Elisio looked at Emerald and said "what about my fiore" 

"I'll stay the night and you can come in the morning" said Ermanno.

Elisio looked at Emerald and smiled at her and said "what song do you know?"

"You are my sunshine" said Emerald.

Elisio smiled and said "I like that song." 

Sabrina sang that song to Elisio and to all the kids very often.

Everyone left and Ermanno stood outside the door of the ICU, looking through the small circle window.

He felt two hands circling his torso from behind and knew it was Rose.

"Where is Xavier?" Asked Ermanno.

"He is with Romeo and Raffaele. Those boys are close" said Rose.

"When you grow up together as a family, a bound is build." Said Ermanno.

Ermanno turned and held Rose in his arms.

"She will be okay" said Rose.

"She will be" said Ermanno.

"I love you" said Rose and looked up at him.

"I love you too. I need you by my side" said Ermanno.

"You are not getting rid of me. I am going to glue myself to you" said Rose.

"You mean my d.i.c.k to your p.u.s.s.y?" Whispered Ermanno.

"Yep" said Rose and kissed him and he held her head from behind and deepened the kiss.

"I am scared" said Ermanno after breaking the kiss.

"You have to be strong. Make your parents proud" said Rose and continued "you are Elisio and Sabrina Devonte's son. Don't be a p.u.s.s.y. Man up"

"You are the worst motivation speaker." Said Ermanno smiling.

Rose smiled back.

When Xavier came to know Elisio was back in the mansion, he insisted to sleep with him too with Emerald.

Ambryl forced Elisio to have his dinner and both the kids basically fed him.

"Open your mouth papa" said Emerald and fed him.

Elisio smiled and Ambryl smiled looking at them.

"She is a lot like Sabrina" said Ambryl.

"She surely is" said Elisio and then looked at Xavier and said "and he is mini me" and hugged Xavier in his side.

"You are the best Papa" said Xavier.

"You are the best Papa" said Emerald too.

"She says everything I say" said Xavier and whispered "watch this"

And continued "papa, I am stupid"

Emerald giggled and said "papa, he is stupid"

Elisio busted out laughing and said "boy, girls may not be smart but they sure have some tricks up their sleeves which make us this mad about them"

"She definitely makes me mad" said Xavier and narrowed his eyes on Emerald and she only giggles.

After dinner Elisio took them to their room in his mansion and they changed and he helped them change and all three slept on the same bed in his room.

The kids were a good distraction for Elisio and for few minutes he was actually feeling a little better from the constant fear of loosing Sabrina.

Both kids slept in his two arms.

Emerald sang to him and with her cute little hand tapped on Elisio's head to make him sleep.

Xavier fell asleep listening to the same song Sabrina sang to put him to sleep.

And Emerald was mid song when she slept too.

Elisio had the kids in his arms but couldn't sleep.

He never slept like this.

He got out of bed and took Xavier to his bed and then Emerald. 

He covered them up and stood in their room looking at them. 

'I hope my fiore and I see you both grow up' thought Elisio to himself and left the room.

He came out and saw Zeke standing outside the room.

"Dad what are you doing here?" Asked Elisio.

"I heard you came back and though we could share a drink before you went to sleep" said Zeke.

Elisio nodded and both went to one of the living rooms with a bar and Elisio served them a glass of scotch each.

"The whole family is worried for you" said Zeke.

"I am not the one in the hospital" said Elisio. 

"Okay. Let me rephrase it. We are praying for Sabrina and worried for you. We are scared for you Elisio. What's going on in your mind? Tell me truthfully" said Zeke.

Elisio didn't answer Zeke and drank from his glass.

"You know, went dad died with mom. I wasn't prepared for it. I never knew I would lose both of them that day." Said Zeke and Elisio looked up to see Zeke in tears.

Zeke place his hand on Elisio's shoulder and said "I want to be prepared".

Elisio got up and hugged Zeke and said "I am sorry dad. But I can't live without my fiore. I can't imagine a life without her. Forgive me" 

Zeke hugged him back and said "I love you too much Elisio. I will never forgive you if you died before me" and kissed Elisio's forehead and left.

Elsio went back and stood in his room which looked lifeless without Sabrina there.

He slept on his side of the bed and closed his eyes.

He soon felt someone snuggle in his side.

He smiled and turned to look at Sabrina smiling at him. He hugged Sabrina.

"Sleep Elisio. Take some rest. I am always with you" said Sabrina.

Elisio was dreaming but he welcomed it. 

"My delicate flower, Mio Fiore" said Elisio and slept peacefully.
