Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Thirty-Eight

William’s Perspective

Visiting hours ends at 8. We could not leave Harry here, he’s practically unstable.

Kate went back home, I still have to talk to Harry so that he could go home.

" Harry, visiting hours is almost over. " I said.

" I know. "

" When do you plan to go home?"

" When she gets home. "

" Harry, you can’t stay here. We could go back first thing in the morning. "

" What if she wakes up in the middle of the night?"

” I’ll coordinate with the nurses to call me or you if she does. “

" If either of them wakes up. "

" Okay. Can we leave tonight?"

He nodded.

" Okay, stay right here, while I coordinate with the nurses."

He nodded.

I stood up and headed to the nurses station.

" Hello. " I said.

The nurse stood up and bowed.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" he said.

I eyed his name plate.

His name is Richard.

" Richard, will you be here all night?" I asked

" Yes, sir. "

" Okay, could you please make sure to contact any of us, if either Allana or Brad regain consciousness again?"

" Of course, sir. Are your contact numbers with us?"

" I don’t think so. Could I just write it in the patients’ file? So that you won’t lose it?"

" Of course. Excuse me sir, let me just get the files. "

He stood up, bowed and walked away.

I looked back at Harry, he kept wiping his cheeks with his fingers.

He’s crying.

" Sir?"

I turned back.

" Here are the files. "

I smiled.

" Thank you. "

The first file was Brad’s.

I looked for -’ Other Contact Persons’

And I wrote my and Harry’s contact numbers.

Then Allana’s file was next.

Same thing. I wrote my and Harry’s contact numbers.

Then I handed him back the files.

" I would personally contact you or Prince Harry if anything happens. "

" Thank you. We really appreciate it. "

" Thank you sir. "

" Excuse me. "

I turned around and walked to Harry.

" I have coordindated with Richard."

" Who?"

" The nurse over at the nurses’ station. "

" And?"

" He says that he will personally contact us if anything happens to them, good or bad. "

He nodded.

" Let’s go. "

He stood up and looked back.

" Could we just drop by and say good night?" he said.

I nodded.

" Thank you. " he said.

We walked to the intensive care units and Harry stopped in front of Allana’s visiting glass.

" Good night. " he said.

He placed his hand on the glass barrier and closed his eyes.

" I love you. " he said.

I think Sam did something like that before she left.

Then Harry and I went to the car.

Harry sat in the car, silently. Only frequent heavy sighs, which made me worry.

" She’ll be alright. " I said.

He nodded.

I pulled my phone out and texted Kate.

' I think I should stay with him for the night. ' I texted.

Then after a few seconds, she replied.

' We should stay with him for the night. '

' We?' I texted

' You, me and George. '

' Could you pack some overnight items?'

' Yeah, already done. I'll be contacting Sofina so that she'll know that we are coming. '

' Okay. Love you. '

' Love you too. '

Then I kept my phone.

" Harry, is it okay if we stay with you?" I asked

" We?"

" Me, Kate and George. "

" You don’t need to do that. "

" Yes, we do. "

" Why?"

" You need someone to talk to, obviously. "

" Is there something to talk about?"

" No. "

I looked at him.

" Then why-"

" Because I think you should not be alone at this time. "

" I'll be fine.  "

" Harry, we really don't mind. "

" Well, I do! "

" Harry, just one night! We just need to make

" Okay, fine! Spend the night! "
