Chapter 71 Isabella
2:00 am.
New York Medical College\'s Hospital.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
A young brown-haired lady, resting on the hospital bed, had her fingers twitch and the monitor depicting her heart rate showed changes in it.
A woman in her early 40s, sitting on a stool beside the bed and resting, jolted awake as she heard the monitor\'s beeping noises.
"Isabella!" The woman exclaimed as she saw the young lady\'s eyelids flutter.
She turned to the room\'s door and yelled, "CALL THE DOCTOR!"
Footsteps of someone running could be heard and in just a minute, there were multiple hurried footsteps that could be heard again.
The door of the room was slammed open and in appeared the hospital staff followed by a woman and a man in black suits.
"Please move aside." The doctor said and checked the young lady called Isabella.
Feeling that Isabella was waking up from her coma, the doctor asked the nurse to prepare the needed shots and gave it to her.
In just two minutes, Isabella finally opened her eyes and looked around.
"Isabella…" the woman in her 40s called out softly.
Isabella, turning her eyes to the source of the voice, saw a beautiful woman. Knowing exactly who she was, she called out in a cracked voice:
"M-mo… ther…"
The woman, Isabella\'s mother, went by her side after being called out and held her hand gently.
"Please relax and try not to move." The doctor suggested it to Isabella.
He then turned to her mother and said, "the patient is out of her coma and there are no health concerns as of now. But do let the patient rest for the next few days."
"Okay, doctor." The woman said.
The doctor and the hospital staff then took their leave.
Once they were gone, the two people in suits appeared behind Isabella\'s mothers, awaiting orders.
Isabella had trouble conversing in the start but her mother asked her to take things slow.
It was only after an hour\'s struggle, could Isabella talk properly.
"Isabella… What happened to you… how are you in this state?" The mother couldn\'t hold back her concerns anymore and asked with tears trickling down her face.
Isabella\'s eyes were moist as well, but she mustered up courage and said, "mom… it\'s a long story. First tell me… how have you been?"
"Not doing good without you, my dear." Isabella\'s mother said with a heavy throat.
Isabella held her mother\'s hand and said, trying not to cry, "I am here now…"
Isabella\'s mother nodded her head and tried to stop crying.
A while of asking each other\'s well being later, Isabella asked,
"How long have I been in a coma, mom?"
"Around fifteen days, I think."
"Hmm? This short?" Isabella was surprised.
"What?" The mother was confused.
Isabella shook her head. "Nothing. I am just glad that I am recovering quickly."
"I\'d be happier if you recovered even faster, sweetie." The mother said with a sad smile.
Isabella smiled and didn\'t answer, instead she said, "you wanted to know what happened to me, right?"
Isabella\'s mother nodded her head.
Isabella sighed and said, "I was drugged in a party and then hit by a truck. I somehow managed to survive the car accident and was taken to the hospital, but the drug was really potent and I think my heart was beating irregularly and I had almost died."
"My god…" The mother covered her mouth and exclaimed as more tears appeared out from her eyes.
Isabella sighed and comforted her mother.
It took some time and when she was ready for talks, Isabella asked,
"Who might\'ve done this, mom?"
The woman shook her head. "I honestly do not know, dear. Who in their right mind would want to attack us? There\'s no benefit in this."
Isabella nodded her head. "That\'s true. But it could be someone jealous of us probably?"
The lady shook her head. "If that\'s the case, it\'s really difficult to point fingers at anybody since there\'s too many of such guys."
Isabella sighed again for the third time. "Let\'s leave this aside. I\'ll be more careful next time."
The mother nodded her head. She then turned around and looking at the woman in black suit, said, "tighten up the security. I want more Blesseds joining."
"As you command, ma\'am." The woman said and left to do her work.
"Anyway, all things aside, my chances of survival were little to none. I am really surprised I survived all of this." Iseballa mentioned.
"Hmm?"
Isabella nodded. "Indeed. The chances were little to none. It\'s a miracle I survived."
Isabella\'s mother flashed an awkward smile. \'How do I tell her what had transpired that day…\'
Isabella could feel something was off from her mother\'s smile. "Something\'s up, mom?"
Isabella\'s mother sighed. "I don\'t know how to tell you this…"
"Tell what, mom?" Isabella\'s expression turned serious as she felt something was off.
The lady tried to muster up courage and thought it wouldn\'t be right to lie to her daughter.
It took her a few minutes to prepare herself and when she was ready, she said, "that day when you were hospitalized…"
The lady began narrating the tale of how there was no staff and an intern took it upon himself to operate on her daughter.
"WHAT!? AN INTERN!?" Isabella was shocked out of her wits
The lady nodded her head. "That\'s right. Not only that…"
She then talked about how a senior doctor had arrived into the room and tried to cause problems, only to get slapped by the intern and made to shut up.
"HE WHAT!?"
"Calm down, honey." The lady said. "Your blood pressure will shoot up."
"Then what!?" Isabella asked, ignoring the advice of her mother.
"Then…"
Her mother mentioned about the intern operating on Isabella, getting her totally out of danger, and then eventually becoming a star overnight.
Not to mention, he had also become the youngest neurosurgeon in history.
Isabella was totally speechless hearing that.
The shock was really a lot and made her body shiver knowing such an inexperienced person had operated on her.
It took her quite a few minutes to properly understand that it was due to this young intern that she survived.
Not to mention, she was healthy and well right now.
The chances of Isabella\'s survival was really very low and she knew it herself. While she was conscious, she could see the surroundings and the heart rate machine was showing irregular signs, meaning her heart had given out.
Then she also felt severe chest pain which confirmed this for her followed by pain all over the body and head.
Had Isabella not been given anesthesia, she would\'ve killed her own self due to the extreme pain.
All of this and then right now, she was feeling nothing.
It was all thanks to the young intern who treated her.
Understanding this, Isabella calmed down considerably.
She wasn\'t an irrational person and could make out that it was all thanks to that young intern did she survive.
"Who is this intern?" Isabella asked.
The man awaiting orders, took out a tablet and gave it to the lady.
The lady then gave it to Isabella, who, after going through it, got surprise after surprise.
"Alexander Gray… youngest neurosurgeon…"
The lady, noticing her daughter speak out such words with interest, smiled and said, "our family is forever indebted to him for saving your life."
"Truly." Isabella answered.
The lady\'s smile then turned playful and she said, "he\'s young, dashing, and also really successful. Should I talk to him about marriage?"
Isabella rolled her eyes. "Mom…"
The lady chuckled.
However, a minute later into seeing the things Alex had done, she muttered, "…he\'s not bad…"
"What? Marriage confirmed?" The lady teased.
"Tch. Mom…" Isabella clicked her tongue. "I haven\'t even met him yet."
The lady giggled. "So do you wanna meet him? Should I set up your date?"
Isabella thought about it and asked, "he\'s not a Blessed, right?"
"No." The lady shook her head.
Isabella sighed. "Things are difficult then. But well, let\'s see. Can you set up a meeting then, mom?"
The lady smiled happily. "Sure. That\'s no problem!"
The lady then turned around and the man nodded his head without being told what to do.
He took out his phone and typed in a few things and once done, said, "I\'ve asked someone to contact Dr. Alexander Gray, whether he accepts it or rejects it, it\'s up to him."
Isabella nodded her head. "Don\'t force him."
"Yes, young lady." The man said.
Meanwhile in Austin…
Alex and Melissa had snuggled and were sleeping together.
Melissa had her leg up on Alex and was holding him tight.
In the dead of the night, the window or Alex\'s room slowly opened up and there came an intruder.
As Melissa felt this, her eyes opened up, but she didn\'t do anything.
The intruder slowly made way towards Alex and Melissa and lifting the blanket up, got inside it and hugged Alex from behind while staying inside the blanket.
Despite trying to hide, the intruder\'s cyan hair flowed out of the blanket.
Alex had no idea whatsoever that someone had sneaked in as he in deep sleep, while Melissa thought to herself:
\'Heh. Morning will be fun.\'
