Dark Side of the Castle (Complete version)

Chapter 67

𝕬𝖘 𝕻𝖑𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖊𝖉

When I reached England, particularly at the Manchester airport. Bethany greeted me with the other servants from the mansion. Even if she doesn't told me what is happening, her expression says it all.

She looked so worn out, and can barely look at me in the eye.

"I'm going straight to the hospital" I told her while handling her my luggage. "I'll contact my brother to meet me there"

Upon giving them all my things, kaagad kong tinawagan si kuya only to know na nasa company building pa siya and from what I can hear at the background some things are getting out of hand.

"Kuya is everything okay there?" I can't help but asked nang may marinig na akong nagsisigawan.

"Y-Yeah just some employees being stress with work" is what he told me. "Let's meet at the hospital in thirty minutes" right after that he ended the call.

I rode a taxi straight to the hospital where dad is, luckily dito lang yun sa Manchester so it would only take a few minutes before I can go there.

I hurried towards the front desk and asked the nurses kung saan ang room ni papa.

Tumakbo ako papasok sa elevator, hindi alintana kung pinagtitinginan na ako ng mga tao sa paligid. Halo halong kaba at pag aalala ang nararamdaman ko. Gusto ko ng makita si papa. Sana ay ayos lang siya.

I reached the 3rd floor, at nagtungo agad ako ICU kung nasaan si papa.

Madali akong tumakbo at kinausap ang ilamg nurse na bibisitahin ko ang papa ko, mabuti ay kaagad akong pinayagan at sinabihan na magsuot ng isolation gown, gloves, shoe covers, and mask. Pagpasok ko sa mismong room kung nasaan si papa ay agad ko iyong binuksan only to see na nauna na palang nakarating sa akin si kuya at magkausap na sila.

Tumulo agad ang luha ko ng makita ko si papa na ngayon ay nakahiga sa kanyang hospital bed, habang may oxygen mask sakanyang mukha at halatang hirap sa pagsasalita.

Katabi niya si kuya na nakaupo sa kanyang tabi at inilalapit ang kanyang tenga sa bibig ni papa para marinig ang mga sasabihin nito.

Dali dali akong lumapit ay niyakap siya. Nanghihina man ay naramdaman kong hinaplos niya ang likod ko.

"I'm fine dear" he said with almost inaudible voice.

"No dad... you're not" umiiyak na sagot ko.

"According to the doctors, dad will undergo surgery. He needs a heart donor as soon as possible" kuya fed me with informations. "But as of the moment, there is none" yumuko siya na tila pinanghihinaan na ng loob.

Pinagmasdan ko ang namumutlang mukha ni papa, ang payat at nanghihina niyang katawan.

Never in my wildest dream na makikita kong ganito ang kalagayan niya. We know our dad eversince, malakas ang pangangatawan niya. He is much more healthier than us, but why did this suddenly happen to him?

I talked to him about Gray, lolo and lola na ngayon ay nasa Pilipinas. They wanted to come here too pero masyado na silang matanda kaya hindi na advisable sakanila ang bumyahe pa. Besides may pasok pa rin si Gray at hindi ko rin siya maaasikaso kung isasama ko siya dito.
