Chapter 28
At the top its a song by Stephanie Rainey titled please don't go. Its really an emotional song,I hope you don't cry when you watch and listen to it. I uploaded it because it suits the scene of this chapter.
"Doctor can you please tell us what's going on." Ray demanded in a low but firm tone.
"Please you men should calm down. You're not even given me space to speak." Doctor Greg replied staring at both men. Seeing both of them are becoming calm,he spoke up.
"She's alive." He broke the news to both men making them breath in relief.
"But..." Doctor Greg added making both men to look at him with wide eyes waiting for the worst.
"But what?". Raymond found the voice to speak.
"But...she's still in coma." Doctor Greg announced.
Williams felt a sudden dizziness swept him and he bowed his head holding his eyes. Ray noticed it and went close to him holding by his shoulder.
"Sir Williams are you okay?". Ray asked glancing at Williams face.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Williams answered trying to raise his head up and stand aright.
Confirm he was really fine,the doctor continued. "I really don't know how long it'll take her to wake up,but I need you to just be calm and be strong. OK?".
Williams wasn't paying attention anymore,so Ray gave a nod to the doctor. "Can we see her now?". Ray asked.
"Of course. Go ahead. She's on the 4th floor room 6 by your left. I'll leave you two now. And when you're done one of you can come see me. I assume you're her husband isn't it?". Doctor Greg asked staring at Ray.
Ray gape looking dumbfounded. "Ugh." Was the only word he muttered while Williams just stood staring at them and not paying attention to the conversation anymore. All his mind was on his daughter.
"Can we get going now,Raymond?". Williams asked breaking the awkward atmosphere and Ray nodded.
"I'll see you later,Doc." Williams added and walked towards the elevator with Ray by his side.
On getting to the room,Jasmine was found laying on the bed and a pink uniform gown was worn on her body which is meant for the hospital patients for females. By the corner was the machine reading beeping normal.
"Oh my baby". Williams cried out walking to her bed and he took her right hand into his placing kisses on it.
"Please. My. Baby. Don't. Leave. Me." Williams choked with a teary eyes.
Raymond stood there looking at the only person that makes him happy lying down there with those oxygen on her nose. His mind was filled with regret. He blamed himself for what had happened to her. He used his hands to sweep his face. He couldn't stand it anymore.
"Sir Williams?". He called and Williams turned.
"I'll be at the waiting room. When you're done I'll come back inside." Raymond said.
"OK. Thanks. Don't you need to be at the office?". Williams asked.
"No. There's nothing much going on there. I prefer to be here,I can't just leave you here like that." Ray replied.
"Thanks,Ray. Please do me a favor and see the doctor on my behalf and ask him the bills and other things we need to know about my daughter's condition." Williams said.
"Okay. I'll do just that." Ray replied and turned to leave.
"And one more thing",-Williams said and Ray stopped to look at him and then Williams continued. "Call Rosa and inform her what had happened, including Sarah and Emmanuel. This are people i consider as members of my family. So please call and inform them. Take my phone." Williams said handing over his phone to Ray and Ray collected it and went out of the room.

Thirty minutes after the Ray called this three persons,they arrived. First was Rosa and Emmanuel. Then Sarah joined in later on. The three of them looked so worried when they saw Ray and Joshua, Williams driver sitting at the waiting room.
"Tell me, handsome,what happened? How is my beautiful baby girl doing? Is she OK? She's alive right? Did she break any bones?". Rosa asked with a panic.
"Miss Rosa please calm down. Handsome can't answer all your questions at a goal." Joshua said.
"I know,Josh. I'm just worried. I don't want anything to happen to my girl. She's all I've got. She's my friend,my sister,my daughter. Everything you could think of,she's that to me." Rosa said now sobbing.
While Sarah on her part couldn't speak. She just stood there still shocked with the news.
Emmanuel was only pacing around the waiting room in confusion. Emmanuel loves Jasmine so much in a mutual way. He can't even imagine anything bad happening to her. She's likewise like a sister to him.
"Jasmine is alive. But the bad part of it is,she's still in coma. Meaning she can't speak to any of you now." Ray finally told this three that cares much about Jasmine.
Rosa and Sarah hugged themselves but they ended up crying. They were scared of the outcome of a coma.
"Oh God, please keep miss Jasmine save. Let her come back to us alive." Sarah said still sobbing.
Just then Williams came towards them,and Rosa ran to him embracing with a hug and sobbing on his chest.
"Its OK, Rosy. Please don't cry,if not I'll do the same." Williams whispered holding back his tears to be the strong man for Rosa.
"Tell me she'll be fine. Please." Rosa said huskily.
Williams sigh and cupped Rosa's face to his palm. "I pray so. Its really not in my hand. Its in hers and God. She needs to fight for her life. I already told her that before I came out here. I just hope she heard me." Williams said and hugged Rosa to his chest.
"Can we just see her even if we didn't get inside?". Emmanuel and Sarah asked in unison.
"Yes. Please Raymond, show them the room." Williams said and Ray nodded and led Sarah, Rosa, Joshua and Emmanuel to the room.
They got there and the ladies insisted on entering to touch her and kissed her cheek which Ray accepted. Their eyes was so red as result of much crying. Joshua and Emmanuel got inside as well and placed a kiss on her hand too.
After that,they decided to leave. "I'll join you guys soon let me have a moment with her." Ray said and so the four of them left leaving Ray in the room with Jasmine.
Ray sat down on the chair close to her bed and covered her hand with his both palms. "If you can hear me Brandy,i have a lot i want to say. First I'll say I'm sorry ,my love. I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. It was never my intention to hurt you. All you saw was a mistake." Ray started.
"I made a mistake leaving you when you said I should. I shouldn't have. Two days not talking to you is like two years to me. I missed you every single day. I never for once forgot you. I understand you have every right to be mad at me and even disappointed for seeing me with Sylvia. But i want you to know that even though you saw me in that manner with her nothing was happening between us. Its just a misunderstanding." Ray paused and swallowed the big lump that has formed in his throat. And then he continued.
"You didn't see it right, Brandy. Sylvia actually came to apologize for drugging me the other day. Then when I told her I've forgiven her,that was when she came to me. She tried to seduce me to do something but I didn't. When you saw my hands on her waist I was trying to push her off me. To say the truth,I didn't kiss her even when she trying to kiss me on my lips. We were still dragging about it when you walked in on us. I know is hard for you to believe me but I want you to know it was all a misunderstanding." Ray paused again and kissed her hand.
"I love you so much,my love. I do love you. I'll never deliberately hurt you this way. Even when I'm with you I miss you still. Ever since I met you,you've brought happiness to my world. You are my only reason I keep wanting to see each daylight. I love you so much,my heart. Please don't go. Stay with me,I need you more than you can ever imagine. Please my love. I'll feel so incomplete without you in it." Ray added with a sniffle. He was already crying now. He tightened his hold of her hands and sobbed on it.
"Please talk to me, at least with a sign. That's only when I'll know if you're awake and heard all I said." He said hoarsely.
After a minute of awkward silence, Jasmine moved her finger which Ray was still holding in hand. Ray's eyes lit up at that motion. "Brandy. You're there. You heard me." Ray said excitedly when he saw what just happened.
Slowly Jasmine opened her eyes but things were blur as she stared at the ceiling and the light. She shut her eyes and turned to see who was holding her hand. Then she saw him, although it was still blur and she couldn't see him well.
"My love. Can you hear me? Its me,Raymond." Ray said when he saw her staring at him in her blurry state.
Jasmine opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't. The next that was heard was a beeping sound.
Ray looked up by his side to see where the sound was coming from. He was stunned when he saw the machine beeping faster and showing red.
"No. That can't be. Please stay with me, Brandy. Doctor, doctor. Nurse. Can anyone hear me? Please help!" Ray yelled as he presses the emergency button several times with his left hand while he hold on to Jasmine hand with his right.
"Please my love. Hold on to me,please. I love you so much. Don't leave me this way." Ray pleaded with a roll of tears falling down his cheek.
Oh mine! I felt like crying when writing this chapter. Its not like I'm a sadist,but I just wanted to make you guys feel the love,sadness and everything.
Please don't go by Stephanie Rainey as a background song. Its at the top of your screen just in case you didn't listen to it before reading.
