Divine Intervention vol 3

Chapter 3 Power of Attorney

"Why can't I see him, Ty? Please you have to let me see him, Ty please." "I'm sorry Chris but you can't see him right now." Ty said in a sympathetic tone but I'll let you know as soon as you can okay." Chris nods his head but said nothing. A few seconds after Ty walks away Chris turns to Jared. "Where's the person responsible for this?" he asks coldly. "The driver of the truck?" Jared asks.

"Yes," "He's in police custody. "And where's that wretched woman that calls herself his wife?" "Well, see fainted a few hours ago, so I'm guessing she's in one of these rooms." "Fainted, oh I'll give her a reason to faint." He said getting up. "Hey, you know you can't hurt her right?" "Why?" Chris sneers. "Chris, that woman is the love of Samson's life." Jared states. "Correction baby, she was the love of Samson's life," Chris growls storming down the passage his long black hair flowing down his back.

"Hey Chris, wait," Jared calls after him. Chris stops and turns to face him. "What?" "Um....I know it's not an ideal time but....." "What Jared," Chris asks impatiently. "I was just wondering if you could spare thirty minutes to address those overbearing sexual urges you mention earlier before we pick up the kids," Jared asks scratching the back of his neck nervously.

Chris snorts and shakes his head at how nervous his soul mate looks. "Sure, I need to blow off some steam anyway." He said indicating with his head for Jared to follow him which Jared did without hesitation.

A few hours later Tyler was escorting Diane to see her husband for the first time since his accident when Mike step in front of them, blocking their path. "Where the hell is she going?" He demands in a hostile tone. "I'm taking her to see her husband," Ty said in a dry tone. "Like hell you are, this woman isn't allowed to go anywhere near Prince." He sneers coldly.

"You think I really want to take this woman in this room right now after what she did? The attorney you called here says that she has her husband's power of attorney which means all his treatment from this moment on will have to go through her. She is the only one allowed in his room right now and nothing we say or do can change that."

"How long do you think he'll be in that coma?" Marlon asks. "As soon as the swelling in his brain goes down we'll try and wake him up but seeing who he's coming back to, I don't think he'll be in much of a hurry to wake up." Tyler snorts.

"That's it, I want you off my husband's case, right now." Diane sneers coldly. "Of course you would say something like that." Ty snorts again. "No way in hell. This man is the only one I trust enough to treat Prince and if you want what's best for him I suggest you don't even think otherwise." Mike warns in a hostile tone.

"There are other doctors here that are just as capable. I'm Gabriel's wife and I demand that this man be removed from my husband's care this minute and...." "With all due respect, Diane Tyler is the best. Taking him off Prince's care may not be the best idea. Trust me, I've seen him in action, he's the best, no offense to the other doctors because truth is, he couldn't have saved Prince's life on his own but trust me when I tell you, Prince needs him." Justin states.

"Fine but keep your opinions to yourself." She warns glaring at Tyler. "No problem, they would be a waste on you anyway," Ty grumbles as he leads her inside Gabriel's room, he then examines Gabriel's vitals before he turns and walks towards the door. "You've fifteen minutes." He said over his shoulder before leaving the room.

"Hey," Justin said catching up to him as he walks down the passage. "Look man, I know you're angry at her, hell we're all angry at her right now but Prince's overall care is in her hands, so as hard as it going to be for you, I'm still going to beg you to go easy on her. I mean she's kind of still in shock and trusts me, as bad as she is, she did not see this coming." Justin said softly. "It's people like her that makes you forget your humanity," Ty said with a heavy sigh.

" I've been here since they brought him in and she's the one that gets to see him?" Karen asks in disbelief. "Don't sweat it, this's far from over." Mike sneers. "Aren't you going to do anything?' Karen screamed at Marlon. "And what exactly do you suggest I do?" Marlon asks casually. "Something, anything, he's your best friend for Christ's sake. " She snaps.

"Oh, not since he met the great doc over there." Marlon drawls rolling his eyes. "And what the hell is that suppose to mean?" Mike demands. "What do I mean, man please., Prince stop confiding in us when he met the great doctor and his family and when are you people going to realize that huffing and puffing and screaming your heads off isn't going to solve anything. I've been telling Prince to leave that woman for months now and him refuse." Marlon said folding his arms across his muscled chest.

"Are you saying that he deserves what happened to him?" Karen asks angrily. "All me a sey is dat if him did listen to me, him wouldn't be lying in there fighting for his damn life right now," Marlon says before storming off down the passage.

The following morning Tyler enters the waiting area and saw that they were all still there, actually, there were even more of them now, most of them his cousins. "Hey, guys." He calls waking the ones that were sleeping. "Hey cuz." Some of his cousins greet him. "How is he?" Diane asks tears running down her face. "Well good news is that he made it through the night, he still in critical condition but I'm very optimistic that he'll pull through this," Ty said with confidence.

"But seeing as though most of you have been here since last night I suggest that you go home, freshen up, get something to eat, and get some rest. I'll of course send out a mass text if anything changes," he reassures them. "I think you should get your pressure checked before you leave." He said to Diane. "I'm not going anywhere." She said defiantly. "Well your pressure was very high last night, so if you won't leave then I can arrange a cot in one of the rooms so you can get some rest. You won't be of any use to anyone if you have to be hospitalize yourself. I'll be in Prince's room, come find me when you're ready." He said leaving the room.

Most of the guys took Tyler's advice but a few stayed behind. At about 9 am Justin brought her a cup of soup, which she thanked him for and drink after which she decides to take Tyler up on his offer because he was right, she needed rest, she needed to be strong for her husband, him being in this position was partly her fault, so she had to take care of herself so she could make it up to him.

She walks slowly towards Gabriel's room, open the door and find Ty by his side, taking his vitals. She let him know she was interested in his offer and was allowed to stay by her husband's side for ten minutes while he went and got the room ready for her. When he return and told her where to go she nods and left the room.

"You have been sitting here for two days Diane. You need to go home." Jessica advises softly. "I can't leave him." Diane sobs. "I know you're feeling guilty but you need to take care of yourself. you've only had fruits and tea since this morning. You need food and rest." Jessica says reading Gabriel's chart. "She's right Diane, You're still in shock but you can't just sit here," Justin says from the doorway.

"Come on let me take you home for a few hours, then we'll come back." Justin pleads, massaging her shoulders. "Okay," She mumbles in a defeated tone. "Right choice, besides it's a little too late to be acting like the devoted wife," Karen said in a nasty tone as Diane steps from the room, and with her head down, Diane let her tears fall freely as she walks down the passage assisted by Justin.
