The Boss

Chapter 32

Kris' POV

Everything is dark, I feel cold, and pain. What happened to me? Where am I anyway? Slowly I opened my eyes and all I can see is white. Am I dead already? Looking around I can tell this isn't heaven at all, it looks bland to be paradise.

"Thank God you're awake" someone shriek by the door. 

"Ahm, where am I?" I ask them while still adjusting my vision.

"You're at a hospital" they said, focusing myself on the person I could tell it's a woman from the shape I could outline but I still couldn't see the face.

"why am I here? what happened to me?" I ask while holding my head, I could feel some pain coming from the left side of my forehead.

"My wife and I were driving when you suddenly came running and we sort of hit you but not that hard, I'm sorry" the woman explained, then just like a raging storm my memories came flashing in, seeing Katrin have sex with someone else, me running as far as I could then total darkness.

"Oh, Okay" I simply replied, it's all too overwhelming.

"We're really sorry, we didn't mean to hit you, it was dark and it was too late when we saw you crossing" I could hear the sincerity in her voice.

"It's okay, it's actually my fault for not looking but can I ask why my vision seems to be blury," I ask her since all I could see are fogs and shapes of people.

"Oh about that, the doctor said you may suffer from partial temporary blindness after you wake up but it's just for a day or two due to the hit on your head" she explained and then a doctor came inside to check on me.

According to my attending doctor, I didn't damage any internal organs but I do have a broken left arm that may take a month or so to heal, other than that and my vision I'm all okay. If only that's the only ones that are broken, they didn't my heart is also damage and might not heal at all.

"Hey, are you okay?" the woman asks after the doctor exited.

"Yeah, just thinking. By the way, I didn't know your name?" I ask her, I couldn't keep on naming her as a woman.

"Oh, yeah, Sorry about that, I'm Alex and my wife is Claire, she wanted to be here but we couldn't find someone that can look after our daughter so she went home and I stayed" she explained to me.

"You should go home also, I'm okay here. I don't want to be a bother" I said.

"You're not a bother, it was us who put you here so it's only right that one of us look after you. Do want to call someone to tell them your whereabouts?" she asks.

"I can call them tomorrow, I just want to be left alone for now" I replied.

"Okay, if you need anything just tell me. Your things are at the bedside table" she said.

Alex stayed the whole day talking about her family and anything else that's irrelevant. She told me I slept the whole night and they were afraid I will not wake up. She told me her wife was frantic and scared that I might die but was rest assured when she calls her that I was finally awake. She stayed until one of the nurses have to kick her out since visiting hours are done.

I was thinking of everything that had happened, I still couldn't believe why she did that, Am I not enough? I mean I know I'm not a full man nor a full woman but that doesn't make me less lovable right? I'm still human right? I deserve to be treated fairly right? I'm getting a migraine with all this thinking I better sleep and rest my head now.

The next morning I was awoken by a smell of food and coffee.

"Hey, Good morning!" it was a woman but I can't recognize her face. Thank God my vision came back.
