Chapter 37
"Thank you Dr. Cruz for your help." Dr. Harrison said to me when I was ready to leave the hospital. It was already evening and I stayed to see if Rosie was stable and in good hands.
"Any time Dr. Harrison." I replied shaking his hand.
"Okay guys. It is time for me to leave." I said and looked at Philip and Emily. She was looking at me sadly.
"Don't worry. Rosie is in a good hands." I said and looked at Dr. Michaels and Emily looked at me skeptically. "And I will still come every day to check on her." I said to calm her a little.
"You promise?" Emily asked me and I smiled at her.
"I promise. She is my patient after all. But this is not my hospital and my other patients need me too." I replied.
"Sorry. I am being selfish." Emily said regretefully.
"Not at all. You are just being mom. You know you should go home to rest too." I said looking at both of them. They were in the hospital for too long. Everyone except Henry already left to rest. He was waiting for me to get me home. He even went to my flat to get me some clothes to change as I came here in my work clothes.
"We will." Philip replied squizing Emily's hand.
"But I don't want to leave her." She said to him.
"There is no way you can help her now." I said.
"But..." she started but Henry interrupted her.
"No but. Go get some rest." He said and she knew she couldn't argue with all of us.
"Ok. But I am going to see her one more time." She said and she hugged me before she left into the ICU.
"Let's go home." Henry said and took my hand. I said good bye to the staff and thanked them for their cooperation.
As we got out of the hospital I didn't realized there were crowds still waiting outside. As me and Henry stepped out hand in hand the crowds suddenly started clapping and screaming our names. Henry squized my hand as he was leading me quickly into the prepared car.
"Go." He said to David when we were finally sitting inside of his black SUV.
Looking out of the window I saw my name on some of the posters the people had in their hands.
"They love you." Henry said smiling when he saw my surprised face.
"I don't understand." I said confused.
"You saved their princess. You already catched their hearts." He smiled at me adoringly and leaned to kiss me. "And I love you too. And my heart belongs to you too but you already knew that." He said and I laughed at him.

The next week was really crazy. Oscar was angry at me for the day I left the hospital by helicopter without telling him. I don't blame him. It is his job to know where I am and if I am safe and I must admit I didn't made it easy for him leaving like that. He said he found out where I was thanks to David who knew it from Philip's bodyguard.Oscar and David were following me everywhere I went because of the sudden rush of public interest in my person.
Every day first thing in the morning before work I went to British Royal to check on Rosie and then I went to work and in the evening again to check on her. Thankfully she was doing great. She is a little fighter. Henry was finally in London for good and he started to work for the Air Ambulance. We finally spent more time together and we couldn't get enough of one another. He wasn't very pleased with my grueling work schedule with me coming from one hospital to other but I assured him that it is only temporary. Although he was very thankful for me doing it for his family.
On Sunday evening I invited George and Mia for dinner at my place. Mia was already living in a new flat closer to the restaurant and I missed her so we were catching up and George was pleased he finally met Henry. Mia was really surprised about the revelation of me being James's cousin.
It was Thursday and I had to take a day off. At the afternoon I went to the airport with David and Oscar to pick up Gael. Today was the day we were meeting with the lawyers to sign the papers to the heritage.
"Hello Britains Sweatheart." Gael greeted me when he was coming to me at airport exit.
"Stop it." I said punching his arm.
"What? You don't give your hermano a hug?" he asked me and I laughed.
"Not if you will be teasing me." I replied.
"Okay. Okay. I am just saying what I read." He said and I gave him a hug.
"And abuela?" I asked him. She was supposed to come with him but I was really sceptical about it.
"You know her. I couldn't get her on the plane but I tried." He replied sadly.
"Maybe next time." I said disappointed.
When we came to the lawyers office Adele and Amelia were aready there. It went really quick and easy. We signed some documents and we received a papers of ownership of the bank and the shipment company. Then Amelia and Adele took us to the headquarters of Antrim Bank. They made us a tour there and let the CEO explain us the whole chain of banks and how it works. He explained us we have to be present at least at monthly meetings other then that we don't have to worry about anything. But me and Gael were overwhelmed by all the information and we still couldn't get through the fact that we are owners of such a huge companies. After all meetings also in the shipment company Amelia invited us to James's restaurant for dinner.
"Hey. Welcome." James greeted us when we entered the restaurant.
"Wow it looks great here." Gael said to him looking around. It was really beautiful modernly designed restaurant. It looked really expensive and I am sure people had to make reservations here at least one month in advance.
"Thank you. I try my best." James replied humbly.
"Mia is the table for my family ready?" James asked her excitedly as she was right behind him. She wasn't working as a waitress there anymore. James was really satisfied with her and he promoted her as the manager of the restaurant so she was substitution for him when he was not there.
"Yes it already is." She replied smiling at me and was leading us to our table.
"Order some refreshment before I make you my speciality." James said excitedly and left into the kitchen.
"By the way Gael this is my friend Mia. She was my roommate." I introduced him to her.
"Oh it is finally nice to meet you. Eva mentioned you a few times but she didn't said you were so gorgeous." Gael said taking her hand and kissing it. Mia smiled at him trough her blush. He was flirting with her.
"Nice to meet you too. I am sorry to say that but she didn't mentioned you that much. " She replied and he looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"Maybe we can change that." He said smiling at her. "Will you join us?" he asked her offering her the empty chair.
"Oh no. I am sorry but I am working right now." She said blushing. "If you excuse me." She said and left us.
"Ouch." Gael said when I punched him into his arm. "Will you stop punching me?" he asked me surprised.
"Will you stop flirting with my friend?" I told him and Adele and Amelia laughed at us.
"I am sorry." I said as I forgot they were there.
"You are just like James." Amelia said to Gael and he smiled at her.
"How is Rosie doing by the way?" Amelia asked me when we were already sipping our coffee waiting for our food.
"She is doing very well and they can take her home tomorrow. But they will have to have a nurse there for at least two weeks." I replied.
"Oh thank goodness. I am really happy she is doing well. That is a great news." Adele said. "Philip and Emily must be thrilled." She said.
"Yes they are." I replied.
"Well this Sunday we are hosting a charity ball. We considered canceling it because of Rose but we decided we will go on with it and add one more cause for the donations." Adele said.
"Oh really?" Gael asked.
"I hope you both are coming." Amelia asked us.
"I don't know. What is it about?" Gael asked her.
"We are building a new wing for Oncological patients for the British Royal Hospital. We want to raise some money for the families with onco patients and with what happened now with Rosie we want to raise some money also for families with kids suffering from heart diseases." Adele replied.
"That is really nice of you." I said thinking how great it will be for the families of those children.
"I hope you will come too." She said to me.
"I don't know. It is this Sunday? I don't have anything to wear." I replied.
"You have a few days to find out. We can go shoping tomorrow." Amelia said excitedly.
"And it will also be a great opportunity to introduce the two of you as my grandchildren." Adele said proudly.
"Ok. I will come." Gael said after a few seconds of consideration and she smiled at him.
"Thank you Gabriel." She said and looked at me.
"Alright. I will come too." I surrendered.
Gael stayed at the restaurant with James as they had a plan already for going out. The two of them really found themselves. I had to laugh at them when I saw how excited they were making plans for tonight. I went home where Henry was already waiting for me. He was really excited for the charity ball and called Emma to go shoping with me and Amelia tomorrow after work.
"Do you realize this will be the first official public appereance you and Henry are going to make together?" Emma asked me when we entered one luxurious boutique on the Oxford Street. The sales ladies were immediately at our sides when they saw us. I really wasn't in a mood for shopping and I was tired like crazy but Amelia called in advance and she made sure they will leave it opened only for us.
"I didn't think about it that way." I replied looking around.
"Are you alright? You look pale." Emma asked me.
"I am just tired." I replied and she looked at me worriedly.
"I am really pleased you honored us with your presence your Highnesses." One sales lady interrupted us looking at Emma and Amelia. "I am Ruth the manager of this salon and I am at your service." She said bowing her head to them and smiling at me.
"Thank you Ruth. We are looking for some evening dress for Eva. Would you show us your best pieces?" Emma said.
"Of course. Please follow me." Ruth said and we were following her into a fancy changing room with a couch and white velvet carpet and illuminated mirrors everywhere. I felt like in some strange land when there was a hostess who offered us a champagne.
"You must look the best." Amelia said smiling at me taking a glass from the trey. "Well you are beautiful even without some expensive dress but this is going to be a very special night." She said and started to look around for dresses which were brought to us by the sales ladies.
"How about this one?" she said excitedly taking a short red lacy dress.
"Really. Is it appropriate?" I asked her.
"Go try them." Emma said looking around for another dress. I took them with me and I went to change behind a white velvet curtain.
"I always wanted to have a daughter. I miss having one especially at this kind of events." I heard Amelia when I was changing.
"Instead you have James. I am really sorry." I heard Emma telling her regretefully and I laughed at her bitterness.
"So what do you say?" I asked them when I came out. They looked at me with a critical eye.
"It's beautiful. But I don't think those are good enough." Emma said and Amelia nodded. Emma then handed me a beautiful long slightly grey dress.
"Try these." She said with a smile.
"Those are beautiful." I said looking closely at the beatiful lace on the dress.
"I think we already found them." Amelia said when I stepped out from the curtain wearing the dress.
"Yes. Definitely these." Emma confirmed sipping from the glass of champagne.
"We will take them." Amelia said to Ruth and she happily nodded. I looked at the price tag and my eyes almost dropped out.
"Are you kidding me? I don't have that much money to pay for it." I said and Amelia laughed.
"My dear but you already do." She said and I remembered that now I actually can afford dress like this.
"But you don't have to worry, it will be a gift from me." She added and hugged me.
"Now go get to change so we can take it home." She said.
"Thank you Amelia." I replied smiling at her. She really reminded me mom when she was smiling. When I changed I handed the dress to Ruth who went to pack them for me.
"Henry will be speechless when he sees you." Emma said excitedly. I leaned down to grab my bag when everything around me started to spin and I stumbled. I felt my heart beating fast and my palms being cold suddenly.
"Are you okay?" I heard Amelias muted voice but before I could answer her I am not, I blacked out.
