The Bet [Hessa]

Chapter 3 ( Edited )

Hardin Scott

"How is she, doctor?"
I ask as soon as the doctor came out of OT.
"Are you her family?"

What kind of question is that? But am I? Am I her family? Family don't hurt each other the way I hurt her. She is here because of me.

Without giving anymore thoughts I nod my head.
"You are her?" She ask little suspicious.
"Boyfriend."
"We can't tell you, I said family."

This doctor is getting on my nerves. Why the fuck can't she tell me how she is?!

"Her mother passe away, she don't know her father's whereabouts and I'm the only one she have, is this much information good for you to tell me her situation?"
I ask little annoyed because of her stubbornness. I know doctors aren't suppose to tell information of their patients to anyone other then family but I'm all she have.

Yet you ruin her.
My subconscious remind me.

" Yeah. Okay. Her condition isn't the best. She lost so much blood. We supplied the blood to her. She will be fine don't worry but she is faint and we don't know when she will be up."

"What do you mean you don't know when she will be up? Who the fuck made you doctor?!"
I growl at her but she doesn't seem affect by that. She just tap my shoulder and said.
"I understand sir but I'm not God. I did everything in my power. Pray to God cause, sometimes medicines are not sufficient to treat a person. You can meet her once we transfer her to the normal room."

With that she left and I'm left standing here stunned by the statement. I know what I've to do. I can't lose her. I'll do anything to save her life and if it means I've to bend in front God. Who took everything from me then I'll.

It will take hour or two before she will be transfer to the normal room. So I decided this is the time. I head to my car and sat on the driver seat and start the car.

I know my destination. I reach the church before I even realise. I step out of the car and went to the church before going inside I bought some candles.

I went inside and lit the candles and place them in front of him. I don't care how much I hate him for taking everything from me. For Tess, I'll do anything. I kneel on my knees and join my hands and prayed for my Tess. For her health. For her. For us.

I prayed for my Tessa's life. I lift myself and turn to leave for the hospital.

I sat in the car and for a while just thought how the fuck my life is and how I fucked up her life. By the time I reach hospital, she is transferred into normal room.

I ask nurse what is her room number.
"Ummm, Can you tell Tessa Young's room number?"

She look up at me and nod her head in approval. She search something in computer and said.

"It's 403, fourth floor, take elevator turn right, room three is her."

I nod and give her a small smile and left. I went as through the instructions and reached Tessa's room. There she is laying unconsciously on bed. Her face is pale but she still manage to look beautiful as hell. She look like an angel. My angel. Who is in this state because of me.

I sit beside her and take her hand in mine and kissed it. She looks so fragile, so innocent. I keep her hand in mine and intertwine our fingers. I know for a fact that when she will be up she won't even look at me. She would hate me for what I did to her. By the time I realized I love her it's too late but I'll try. I'll do anything for her forgiveness but I know when she will get up she wouldn't want me anywhere near her.

I kiss her head and get up from the chair to make a call.

I called Landon.
"Hello?"

"Umm Hi, Landon?"

"Hardin? What's wrong?"
He ask little worried.

I never call him. Ofcourse he will be worried or I may say suspicious.

"Umm Landon, Tessa, she got in an accident, she is in Hospital, her condition isn't best, please come here."

"What the fuck? When-I mean how?"

I never knew this child would curse.

"You please come here, I'll tell you everything but first come here please."
I begged.

I didn't tell him anything because I know if I'll then he will shout on me and right now Tessa needs him. He is the only one she have after me.

"Okay, send me the address. I'm on my way."

I nod my head even though I know he can't see me.

"Yeah."
I said hung up. I texted him the address and went into Tessa's room and took a seat beside her bed and held her hands in mine again.

"Tessa, please don't leave me. I know what I did is unforgivable but please give me a chance. I'll make it up to you. I can't live without you. I know I said you are clingy and all but in reality it's me. It's me who is clingy. Who can't leave your side for a minute. Who can't get enough of you. I swear you were more than just a bet to me. I love you Tess. I don't know why I didn't said anything when they were humiliating you. I guess I'm just scared. I've never felt like this for anyone. This is new to me. I'm scared. I don't know just don't leave me baby, please."

Suddenly her heart beat starts to increase. I don't know what to do. I did the only thing that came to my mind. I shouted for the nurse.

"NURSE! NURSE!"

She came running and check her nerves and call the doctor.

"Doctor what is happening? She will be fine, right? What is happening with her?"

The doctor didn't say anything to me.

"Sir please go out, we need to treat her."

One nurse said pushing me out of the door but I won't bugde. I'm not leaving until they tell me what is happening.

"What the fuck is wrong with her, please tell me!"

"Sir you need to go then only we will be able to help her. Please!"

This time I nod my head and left the room. I'm sitting out of the room, it's been half an hour and doctor hadn't said anything. Suddenly I feel a pair of hand on my shoulder I look up and it's Landon. I abruptly got up and hug him tightly. He hesitate at first but eventually hug me back. I know I'm too shock with my reaction. I never even talked nicely with him but here I'm hugging him. I pull away from the hug.

"What happened?"
He ask.
