Wrong Injection

CHAPTER 46

One week gone and Veronica has been in coma, after I had a call from mom saying she passed out. Mom and I visited the hospital often to check on her. Hoping she gain consciousness, but she wasn't improving.  Honestly I was broken and devastated she was in that terrible condition when she was barely five months pregnant with my child. And I could do nothing to help them, I felt like I failed as a man. With all my wealth, I couldn't help her out of coma.

"Sultan." Mom called with a tap on my shoulder.

"Yeah." I closed my laptop to give her my attention, then she sat next to me on the floor in my room. For the past week, I wasn't myself.

"Here have some tea." She handed me a cup of tea and I thanked her. "I know you're going through a hard time at the moment but you need to put yourself together. Work needs you, family and friends needs you, shutting yourself up would only make this phase harder."

"Mom it is harder than you think, my unborn child and Veronica's life are as stake and I'm completely useless in this situation. My child is fighting for his or her life and there's nothing I could do to help, it is devastating. "

"They're going to be just fine you will see, and you are not useless in this situation." She said rubbing my arm.

"You don't get it mom, what if we lose them, the heir I've been waiting for all these while, what if I lose him or her?"

"Sultan nothing of that sort is going to happen, Veronica and your beautiful heir is going to be just fine." She believed and I wished I had that same faith, I was so scared I was going to lose my child.

"Mom." I exhaled as I didn't know what to say.

"What of Milani, you seem not to care about her in this whole situation. Don't forget she is carrying your child too, ignoring her calls will bring nothing but confusion between you both. She deserves your attention as well." She said and I didn't know what to say to her. Because my own flesh and blood was struggling for his or her life and the only person who deserved my time and attention was Veronica. Even though I knew it was wrong to ignore Milani once again, but this time it was for a good reason. I couldn't see myself enjoying myself with her and live a normal life as if nothing was wrong at all. I just couldn't.

"Sultan?" Mom called bringing me out of my thought, and I rubbed my face out of frustration. I really didn't know what to tell her, I should've listened to Milani when she advised to tell mom the truth.

"Mom Milani is perfect, the person I should be concerned about is Veronica." I said staring at her as she stared back at me unbelievably.
