The Duchess [3]

1

Time seems to slow down when I reached the hospital.Doctors were running in and out of the emergency room in panic.As I stood on the doorstep of the waiting room watching everything unfold infront of me.

That is when "No Your Highness-you have to live!We will not let you die-You cannot die on us-not today-not ever"as they performed cpr over and over again-I held my breath until I heard the stabilization of neymar's heart beat.

"We need to remove the bullet-its infecting his life!"One doctor argues."High infection risk which will could also cause death."another argues."There is only a 50% chance that the infection will occur."The other doctor replied."We cannot make this decision doctor maria-the kings relatives have to!"The other doctor argues back.

One of the doctor who is maria walks out of the room-and immediately came to me before she could even ask anything-rafa came into view,scott hot in her tail.

"Please ask his sister."I said to the doctor and within minutes the doctor explained to rafa what their matter was and just like that neymar suffered another heart attack-And it didn't take long until rafa decided on removing the bullets and with that doctor maria went back in."Its green light-lets start removing the bullet."With that my heart beat picked up by the sound of-doctors begging neymar to live-to not die.

Scott end up taking care of rafa and I as he put us in a more private room.Rafa couldn't stop her uncontrollable cries.I sat up from the couch and switch my phone on.And with that came in dozens of calls and messages from my mother,sister and of course alex.

Wildof,One of neymar's advisors came in and advised rafaella to prepare a speech to inform the public of neymar's condition-rafa however didn't have the energy in her to argue back as she numbly hold onto scott and looked at wildof."Give her more time wildof-We don't even know his condition how are we supposed to inform the public?"I argue on behalf of rafa."Duchess when you were in that hospital bed with a coma-king neymar stood in a podium and address the country." "He did but after three days." "Then what is the difference?" "The difference is miss serayah-Neymar is the king!He is the father of our country!People breathes him-they worship him!He is our ruler!So yes we have to reassure the people that neymar will be okay!"And that was his breaking point.Wildof then sits quietly in the corner of the room.

"I don't know-I don't know what to do..The council man is going crazy.Leaders and newscasts from all around the world is trying to reach our government.There are massive of crowds running around in the street bawling their eyes out.They want answers.And we cant-cant give them one.Basically we are in a national crisis."He continues as he speaks with teary eyes.

"We don't know what to do."He kept repeating.

And for that we waited and waited.The doctor came out of the surgery waking rafa and I from our sleep.It has been a total of eighteen hours of them performing surgery and they do look tired.

"The surgery went well although there were its moments where we had almost lose him."I swear I caught my breath at what he said."But we were able to remove all three bullets.Right now his condition is questionable and because of that we have put him at the ICU to observe his condition."With that rafa said our thank you and soon a nurse came and guided rafa and I to where neymar is.

"One person is allowed to enter the room."I had asked rafa to enter first as I sat on one of the waiting chairs and scott sat next to me."How are you holding up?"He asks and I shook my head indicating I don't want to talk about it.He got the hint and stayed quiet.Rafa came out in frantic "I need a doctor!" Soon all in one time doctors and nurses rushed in.

Rafa then ran to scotts arms."He got another Seizure ."She says as she cried to scotts arms.Shaking.And with that I paced around the room going in circles trying to calm myself down from panic.But I couldn't the room feels suffacating."I need air."With that I walked far from the room until somehow I end up being in the woman and children's section of the hospital there I came to halt when I spotted the familiar area.Standing behind the glass I watch as different newborn babies slept.Abruptly I caressed my flat stomach.I spent minutes just looking at the babies and somehow it calmed me down.

I walked back to where I left rafa and scott.But I just found scott."Did he-?"Not able to continue my question but he managed to pick up."No this seizures is common due to the fact that he has critical internal bleeding around the lungs and the kidney area and for now all we can do is hope that he somehow can make it through."Scott explains and I nodded before taking a seat next to him.

Wildof came soon and informed that there has been a press conference set up later this afternoon.When rafa came out she looked worn out and tired-there are bags under her eyes.Scott informed her of the plans later this afternoon and she shook her head."As much as I want to talk to the people-I don't think they would want to see me in such state."She tiredly argues."But princess we don't know who would speak on behalf of the royal family except you." Wildof argues."Then let serayah speak.Neymar still treats serayah as his wife.You and I both know the relationship of kenna and neymar.And you too knows that serayah is a better fit due to the fact that she had managed to calm the country down during wars before.The people love her and she have a better experience in free lancing her speeches.Not to forget she is the mother of the next heir and if davi were to be king under the legal age I know neymar had made sera a regent so I do not understand what is the problem here."And with that there was one question running in my head,What is the relationship between kenna and neymar?.

"The duchess will do the press conference."Wildof then walked out of the ICU private waiting room.Rafa let out another yawn."You should go and get some rest rafa.I'll stay here no worries."I advised her as she looks at me and nodded.We said our goodbyes.

I made my way to neymar's ward.As I opened the door to his room and settle my eyes on him.And at that moment I walked at him before laying beside him carefully.Settling my hands on his chest as I closed my eyes and imagine the times where we would lay in bed this way when it was our lazy day or basically sunday mornings.How he would share me his craziest dreams and boring dad jokes that he would share to davi later during lunch.But I would still laugh because of his laugh.

And maybe at that time I felt like I'm laying next to a dead body because I couldn't feel his warmth or how right now it wasn't like sunday mornings or one of our lazy days because he isn't laughing nor he is talking and maybe this was it-this is how it will feel like to lose him to death.And I don't think I want that.

"Please fight for me."I whispered as I broke down to tears."Fight for our family."I whispered."We need you." I continue."I need you."Soon I found myself falling asleep next to him.
