Healing Touch

¤Chapter 57¤

Eleanor laid back in her hospital bed as she answered questions that were asked by the police. She would glance at Roman who stood talking to a few of them as well. They were both calm and collected, Roman had spent the night with her reciting what they'd say when the cops came.

After a few more questions they had left. Roman walked into her room and sat besides her. "How'd it go?" He asked it.

"It went alright." She nodded as she fiddled with the ring on her finger.

She hadn't come about to ask him about the ring. She didn't have time and it slipped her mind occasionally. She was anxious to know what this ring meant. She drew her eyes from the ring only to see him staring at her hands that messed with the ring.

"Roman." She called out to him.

"Hm?" His eyes met hers.

"The ring?" She stated. "What's it for?"

His lips parted ready for him to speak but Danielle had entered gaining their attention. Her eyes were red and puffy her chest heaving up and down as of she'd ran marathon.

"I-I-uh." She cleared her throat. "Roman can I speak to you outside please." Her eyes glanced at Eleanor worriedly. "It's important."

He nodded and faced Eleanor. He stood and gave her a kiss. "I won't be long ok?"

She nodded before letting him leave. She watched as Danielle closed the door and stood infront of him.

"Is there a problem?" Roman asked her.

"Roman I honestly don't know any other way of putting this,..." She took a deep breath as she sniffed. "but the twins were poisoned with the same poisoning that Jolene tried to poison Eleanor with-"

"What are you trying to say?" Roman cut her off.

"I'm really sorry Roman we did everything we could but Lucky-"

Before she could finish Roman ragged. He roared throwing anything and everything in sight at the wall. Danielle simply slowly slid down to the ground. She had lost a nephew as well. Roman punched the wall repeatedly before he was stopped by Gabriel who had held him back.

"Roman stop." Gabriel pinned him to the wall with the help of Romero.

"What's going on here?" Romaine asked them.

Danielle had explained and this time instead of ragging on Roman simply cried. He had lost his son, his first and only son. It was a sight no one had expected to see but he cried.

Romaine, with an aching heart, walked into Eleanor room where she'd been watching everything from the window and uncertain of what was going on. His eyes filled with tears as had to break the news to her.

He watched her fall apart before his very own eyes. The strong woman that he had known her for was breaking down infront of him. He cradled her in his arms allowing her to cry.

"Well Ms. Elmz you are well enough to leave." The doctor told her. "And I am so sorry for your loss."

She stared blankingly at him with unshead tears. Nearly the entire staff had known about Lucky and she was now getting so much pity and sympathy she wanted to scream. She wanted to mourn in peace.

The doctor soon left after being dismissed by Roman. Roman hadn't been the same. His eyes red and his face expressionless. He had watched the mother of his late child cry day and night cry throughout the week. She had refused comfort whatsoever and that's all he wanted to do, comfort her.
