Sinners and Saints II

Chapter 39

The room was quiet the moment everyone heard the doctor's soft groan as he slowly stood straight from Rafael's bed, clearing his throat and finding his way to the mini crowd where Olivia stood biting her fingers,. She had the most worried look on her face just as well as everyone else.

"Miss Olivia," He focused his attention on her as he noticed how everyone else was looking at him for an update too.

"Doctor," Olivia pushed herself closer to him. "How is he?"

"Well," the man folded his stethoscope and then slowly handed it to the nurse beside him. "He doesn't look like he broke anything or hurt any vital organs. He just has a few bruises here and there that would heal soon. I'm going to prescribe some drugs to relieve him of the pains he's feeling. And then I would also suggest he starts his angina treatment again to avoid another attack. I can't say anything else is wrong for certain until he wakes but right now, he's resting and he should get plenty of it. I'm sure once we wakes, we can know what really happened to him and find the people that did this to him."

Olivia let out a frustrated exhale. She was honestly so confused. She had no idea what to do or how to help him. Seeing Rafael on that bed, not opening his eyes or making a move terrified her a lot.

"Thank you doctor." Tony stepped forward so Olivia didn't have to bother with him anymore. "Why don't I just see you off? We have one or two things to discuss."

The man nodded once and then headed towards Tony's direction as he led both of them out of the room.

"My poor child." Benita had tears in her eyes. "Who would do this to him? Who would want to harm him like this? He has always stayed away from trouble. He hasn't given anyone a reason to want him dead yet. Oh heavens."

"It's obvious Nanny." Amy cut in. "It has to be one of the bad guys or family of the bad guys Rafael put in jail that ambushed him like this. The kind of things he does is enough reason for anyone to want their pound of flesh. We are only lucky they didn't do the most. I'm sure once he wakes up, we can get the full story. You don't have to worry yourself."

Olivia forced a smile on her face and then turned to the round woman behind her.

"Nanny, Amy is right." She continued trying to sound as positive as she could. "I don't think we should worry anymore. I'm sure when Rafael wakes up, he'd let us know the identity of whoever that did this to him. And we'd make sure he or she is caught and punished."

Nanny Benita nodded, she wanted to believe in Olivia's words so much. She just knew she had to.

"Nanny," Lucy slowly reached for Benita's arm, her face brightening a lot. "Nanny, why don't we prepare all Sir Rafael's favorite dishes so he can eat them the moment he wakes?"

Benita nodded, slowly placing her hand on Lucy's, she rubbed them gently.

"Yes, yes, let's do that."

She let Lucy lead her away from the room just as Tony walked back inside. Olivia and Amy slowly turned to him just as Grace walked away from them and to the bed.

"Tony." Olivia exhaled as he got closer.

"Olivia,"

"Tony do you have an idea what would have happened? Who would have done this? Did Rafael ever mention to you about his life being threatened?"

Tony thought for a while.

"I don't think so." Tony told her. "Rafael never mentioned anything of such to me. He has always been so careful and good at protecting himself all the time. I just don't understand how this could happen to him."
