Sunsets and Broken Promises (SPADE Series #1)

Chapter 20

I finally gain my consciousness but all I could hear is the monitor beeping beside me. I slowly opened my eyes and immediately saw a white blank ceiling, tumingin ako sa paligid at doon ko napansin na nandito ako sa Hospital.

The view of the sunset can be seen here in my room. The familiar windows, couch, sofas, mini-refrigerator, the flat screen T.V, and the familiar designs. . . I'm here at the Samson's private Hospital.

Nakita ko ang cellphone ko sa coffee table malapit sa mga couch kaya naman kahit mabigat ang pakiramdam ko ay pinilit ko pa rin tumayo para kunin iyon.

Did Kaizer replied to my messages?

As soon as my feet touches the cold floor, my body collapsed which made a loud noise and accidentally hit my elbow in the side-table. I immediately felt a srong wave of pain in my whole body, the monitor is beeping uncontrollably due to my sudden movements.

The nurses came rushing to my room and was surprised to see my lying in the cold floor.

"Call the doctor! Ms. Vanciello is finally awake!" the female nurse screamed to her subordinate who ran outside to notify the doctors. She grabbed my hand. "Miss, you shouldn't be moving" Tinulungan niya akong makahiga ulit kaya napapikit ako ng madiin at tinaas ang daliri ko para ituro yung cellphone ko.

Napatingin siya doon. "Miss, you can't have your phone yet. Your body collapsed due to your sudden movements earlier, sinabihan din po kami ni Doc--"

I grabbed her hand tightly as I could and beg, "Please. . . please just—"

"Miss, mas mabuti po kung mag-pahinga muna kayo"

The corner of my eyes started to burn. "Please, can you. . . check my phone"

She bit her lower lip before nodding, binitawan ko siya at hinayaan na buksan ang phone ko. Her worried expression remains the same while looking at my phone.

"There's a lot of missed calls here, Ms. Vanciello. They must be really worried about you"

I grabbed my comforter for support before asking, "S-Sino yung mga tumawag sa akin?"

"You received 128 missed calls from Dove, 87 missed calls from Lynn, 17 missed calls from Harry, 118 missed calls and 79 unread messages from Chanel, 138 unread messages from Yvaine, 108 missed calls from Pierce, 162 missed calls and 112 unread messages from Olivia. . ." Habang binabasa niya ang mga nag call sa akin ay nag dasal ako na sana tinawagan din ako ni Kaizer—kahit chat lang ay okay na ako.

"218 missed calls and 381 unread messages from. . ." I stared at the Nurse, "From Stephen"

My heart sunk to my stomach when she finished reading all my unread messages and missed calls without mentioning Kaizer's name.

"Kaizer. . ."

"Miss?"

"Wala bang Kaizer diyan?" I asked.

She shakes her head and closed my phone. I slowly faced the ceiling while letting my tears fall to my cheeks. The nurse didn't bother to stop me from crying, she stood there quietly.
