CRYSTAL ELIZA CREST POV...

I am finally discharged today after staying at the hospital for two weeks all thanks to Ivan who claims I need more time to recover and only by then would he let me leave the hospital.

Paris constantly drops by to see me though she is due soon, and I am excited to see my niece or nephew. Malcolm and Matthew visited me, it was fun remembering Matthew stuttering while talking to me.

FLASHBACK

Ivan just left for work and he took drystan and Yulia to see their therapist. So right now I am left alone in the hospital, bored out of my mind.

A slight knock was heard on my door and I muttered a come in. The door opens and Malcolm steps into the room, I grinned widely seeing him And behind him stood Matthew.

"Crystal" Malcolm smiles hugging me softly caring not to hurt me.

"Missed me much?"

He pulls back chuckling "Why would I? I just felt sorry for your ass"

I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughs softly, Matthew clears his throat stepping forward and hands me the flowers in his hand.

I smiled "Thank you"

"I a-am so-rry m-ma fo-r m-my inco-mpetence in pr-otecting y-you" he stuttered.

I sighed "Matthew, you shouldn't blame yourself for it. If I hadn't been taken, Yulia and drystan would still have been taken. You were in a critical condition because of me, I should be the one thanking you for risking your life to save me"

He lowers his head "But still I feel so guilty, I have done and said a lot of hurtful words to make you hate me but yet here you are forgiving me"

"I don't hold onto such grudge, I understand how you felt at that moment. After all Ivan is your boss, if I were in your shoes I would have done the same"

He smiles softly "I shouldn't have asked Malcolm to get information from you. But he chose to protect you and lied to me that you told him nothing regarding Alfred"

Malcolm huffs "Of course I would protect her! A real man won't betray a woman"

I giggled "Real man huh? You should grow up before you finally become a real man"

Matthew ruffles his hair "She is right little bro"

He pouts "You guys are ganging up on me!!"

PRESENT DAY

I chuckled just by thinking about it. Makism, Oksana, lubo, stepanov also paid me a visit. Damien is no where to be found and I know how he must be feeling right now which is why I have to see him immediately Ivan returns and take me out of here.

As for Kostas, he visited me with his wife and damn I never expected she would be the one. She was my classmate in high school, she looked equally shocked to see me.

Feeling bored, I put on my fluffy slippers and make my way out of the room. I got to Paris room who was asked to be in bed rest because the baby would be out soon.
