MIDNIGHT WHISPERS| Kylia

(LVIII)

Two weeks later...

- I thought I wouldn't come to see you today — the blonde sitting in the light armchair next to Malia's stretcher says. — the doctor said she had improvements — a tiny smile appears on her lips as her gaze falls on Malia.

I look at the curly hair on the stretcher, which is pale and without the radiant shine it always extolled. Her mouth, which has always had an intense reddish tone, is colorless and her closed eyes do not allow me to see their constellation.

I sigh, taking calm steps until I'm close enough to the stretcher. Ruby moves away, letting me touch Malia's hand carefully, always afraid of accidentally hurting her.

— She's going to wake up, Kylie... — Ruby speaks quietly behind me and I just nod, keeping my gaze on Malia. — but you know... She could wake up in the two months that you'll be away - I swallow hard, thinking about the possibility that Malia wakes up and I'm not there and when I come back she doesn't want me to come close.

— I will always stay informed and if anything goes wrong I will get back to you as quickly as possible - I sigh, sitting down in the white armchair. — I didn't want to, but I really need to resolve things there — I look at Ruby, who nods, understanding my side.

— I'm going to get some coffee, take good care of her — she leaves the room, leaving me alone in the disturbing silence.

I take a deep breath, feeling exhausted by everything that's happening, especially with Malia. I miss your laughs and your smile that lights up everything.

I caress her hand calmly, looking at her serene face that is now without the mask, allowing him to breathe calmly, as if he had taken a brief nap.

— I miss you, little doll — I say in a low tone,
resting my hand on her curly hair. — the doctor said you've improved, but they still don't know when you'll wake up — I sigh, feeling the lone tear run down my cheek. — if you wake up and I'm not here, know that I'll be on the other side always trying to find out about you and looking for the owner of this whole consequence - I look at her hand, which carries a thread that I don't know what to use perfectly. - I promise that when you wake up, I'll do something you told me once, that's pathetic, but when it comes to you... — I let out a humorless laugh.

Maybe she isn't even hearing anything.

I stay silent, just watching her. Seeing her like this defeats me, thinking that everything could have been avoided, making the anger boil inside me and the thirst for revenge on whoever is behind this grows greater.

I swear to all that is holy, no matter who is behind all this, that when I find out, I will make him watch his own death in a slow and painful way.

A strange movement in my hand makes me look down, to make sure I felt the right way.

I stare at Malia's hand wrapped in mine, hoping to see her move, but the seconds pass and nothing...

— if you're listening to me, give me a sign, my love... — I murmur quietly, feeling my chest tighten.

The smallest smile appears on my lips when she squeezes my hand, weakly, but still makes the movement.

— I hope you wake up soon, little doll

— I speak in a low tone. - I need to make your dream come true -
I whisper the last part almost to myself.

I hear the door open behind me, giving me a view of Morgan and Ruby entering calmly and quietly.

Morgan approaches the stretcher, stopping in front of Malia's covered feet, looking at the girl with a sad expression.

— did we have a breakthrough? — Ruby approaches her from behind, placing her chin on her shoulder.

— she moved her hand — I say, and they smile, looking at Malia.

— she can hear us so... Hi, Mali - Morgan says, running his hand over her leg. - we need you back, Mali... — her words carry sincerity.

I sigh, laying my head next to her body, smelling her sweet smell that soothes my soul in an indecipherable way. A lump forms in my throat as I remember the procedure, which may have worked, and if Malia finds out, she won't like the idea, and I would like to be by her side at that moment, trying to show my support in any decision she makes.

-Kyla? — I look at Morgan. — you need to go now — close my eyes for a moment before I stand up calmly.

— okay, I promise you'll tell me everything about her...
- Ruby nods, sitting in my seat. — and if she wakes up... Tell her to wait for me... — I look at Malia one last time, before turning around and leaving the room.
A sigh escapes my lips with each heavy step I take away from the body. I'm leaving everything with her in that room, and my mind is only focused on finding out who the son of a bitch is behind all this.

And he better beg God or whoever so that I don't feel it, because if I find it... Things won't be good or delicate.

When I arrive downstairs, I see Vincent and Joshua waiting for me, dressed in black suits and sunglasses.

— finally - Vincent murmurs, taking his hands out of his pockets. — you need to arrive in the morning if you want to get to the next meeting on time — he looks at his phone, making me roll my eyes.

— I already know that, Vincent — I reply impatiently, turning to Joshua. — I don't want you to leave her side, and anything is to keep me informed, no matter where I am, I'll get there as quickly as possible — I say and the brunette nods.

— let's go then — Vinnie takes the lead, leaving me facing Joshua.

— Did she get better? — I take a deep breath at your question.

— yes, she moved her hand — I say and he smiles excitedly.

— I want to be the first to know when she wakes up..
I mutter, walking away.

When I step outside the hospital, Vincent is already waiting for me next to Joseph, the businessman who was working at the company mainly in Los Angeles, and now I will go with the people to help at the company in Canada.

I get into the car without exchanging words with them, just firm looks, hoping that this trip will happen as quickly as possible.
