Don't Leave Me #3 *WattpadIndiaAwards*

Chapter 26

First of all, Happy new year everyone... I should have wished you guys in my before update but i was so lost into the chapter and felt sad that i completely forgot... Sorry about that... :D. Now, enjoy the chapter and read the note at the end...

*James Pov*

"You should have come and meet her for a second." Grace mumbled from beside me while I just concentrated on driving and ignore the report I placed in my pocket.

How can this be possible? I finally thought as the company is stable and I can think of my own life from now on but then... I was brought out of my thoughts by Grace's question.

"You know that I am not good at consoling people. I didn't want to react in a wrong way and end up hurting her. I will meet her later." I promised wishing that she let go of the topic.

"I had to leave early because he came to visit her, but I didn't see him. I hope everything is fine and at least they get back together. She is really sad to lose the baby." I nodded hearing her words.

"Because of their decisions, an innocent life lost its life." She added, sighing while I glanced at her wishing I can say something but my mind is still struck at the report.

"Where did you go? You were not there when I walked out." She suddenly asked, but her phone rang before I can come up with some excuse.

"Shruthi? What is it? What? Okay! Calm down! We will return and just wait until we come back." She hurriedly cut the call.

"We need to return, James. It seems he ended up causing her more stress and Shruthi is not able to calm her down. It is better if I stay there until her parents come." She passed the message and I took a U-turn without giving much thought before travelling back to the hospital.

"How can he do this to her? He must be worse than I thought. What do you think?" she asked, sighing while I felt my hands shaking with the thought of returning to the hospital when I just escaped from that place ignoring their suggestion for further tests.

"James! Are you..." I don't know what happened during the next few minutes, but I know the pain that is sweeping through my whole body.

"Grace!" I whispered, turning my head only to find her leaning over the dashboard before my eyes closed losing the conscious completely.

I know it was Prakash's mistake of driving while in drunk state and hitting my car after losing his consciousness like that. Even Sandhya and Shruthi were apologizing for calling us back and I couldn't fault them for sure. All I can think of is, what if I was concentrating completely on driving instead of my thoughts.

What if I told Grace about my report and we stayed back for further tests? What if... the questions were endless making me feel, I am the cause of it too. So, somehow I couldn't blame him completely, but when the decision was to let him go, I wanted to take revenge.

However, knowing well I don't have much time and the company is going to crumble soon because of Prakash and his father if I don't take the necessary steps which could trouble my family, made me give up on all thoughts like those and concentrate just on the company.

But somehow I got involved in this revenge plan and now bearing the consequences of it. I know everyone is hurting because of this plan of Shruthi but I know there is one good thing and that is the baby.

The baby will be the one to console my Mom when I leave her and it will be the one I want to protect now. I know I ended up threatening Palak but I really can't let her take the baby away from my family.
