Andy POV:
"As a child my brother was always my rock he kept me from harm taught me all that I needed to learn my brother is my hero Andy Baldwin" .-
Andy got up early the next morning, not that he had slept much. He was waiting on Nick to come pick him up so he could go to the hospital to see his brother. As he was about to have breakfast, Nick walked into the room ready. "Boss," Nick asked, "who am I kidding? I can't eat."
"Mary, I have to go."
"Andy, come here, sit, and have your breakfast," Mary urged. "Nick, he will be ready momentarily; it's important."
"I must go," Andy said.
"I understand; it's not going to take long now. Please eat."
Mary was so much like his mother. He sat back down and finished his breakfast. He kissed her on the cheek before he left. "So, Nick," he stated as he got in the car, "how bad is he?"
"Well, the most I could get was what I told you last night. Apparently, your brother has his own security team now, and his records are sealed."
"Okay, Nick, let's go."
They drove for about two hours, and they got to the hospital. Andy told the nurse at the front desk, "I'm here to see my brother, Aiden Baldwin. What room is he in?"
"He's in room 401. He's not so well; we are still in the process of getting all the drugs out of his system. His doctor will be by momentarily, and you can ask him further questions."
"Thank you so much, my lady," Andy replied.
As Andy approached Aiden's room, there were two men standing outside they seemed to be his brothers security. "Hi," Andy greeted, "I'm Andy Baldwin, and this is Nick, our head of security."
"I'm John, and this is Jeff. We are Aiden's security personnel. Nice to meet you both. Can we see him?"
"Well, he still hasn't awakened yet, but certainly," John said, stepping aside.
Andy rushed into the room, and there he was, all sorts of cords on him. "Aiden," I stated as I sat by his bedside. "Brother, don't worry, it shall be well."
Aiden opened his eyes; he stared at Andy with no emotions in his eyes. "Brother, it's me." He tried to talk, but no words came out of his mouth.
"He's awake! Get the doctor!" Andy shouted, holding Aiden's hand, tears flowing down his face. "Brother, I'm sorry. I've failed you."
"No, you didn't," Andy turned around when he heard a voice. "Hi, I'm Lauren Prescott."
"Lauren who?" Andy stared at her in confusion.
"Estate manager. Well, Andy, your mother, Susanna Baldwin, hired me years ago. She invested all she had, and I did well with her money. You and your brother are her sole beneficiaries for her $50 billion dollars fortune. However, due to your previous mishaps, your brother has been keeping your half safe in the trust for when you got married. He would turn it over to you. Your father has no idea; your mother wanted to keep it away from him. So, if you two ever want to leave society and live your own life, you could do so. Your mother also thought your father may have had a second life but didn't get a chance to prove it before she suddenly died."
Andy's brain felt like it was going to explode. He didn't know which question to ask first. All he knew is he needed his older brother back. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Prescott. Why am I indeed delighted to hear that my mother didn't trust my father, and me and my brother are rich. We have always been rich, so I'm sorry if I don't seem surprised. You see, my mother and I were very close, and she told me everything. I knew this day was coming; I just didn't know when. But the question I have is how do we fix this? He's all the way messed up. I feel we should move him to the rehab I was at for 6 months. I will not allow any of these doctors to deem my brother unfit and put him in a psych ward. So, can we get him moved from here, please?"
