Second chance on love.

Chapter 29

~Connor's POV~

"Pleaseeee some... I need help please??" with panic I run into emergency end nurses run to me. "My friends are hurt!! The girl was held hostage and the boy was shot. Please help them?" as I run back to the car they follow me.

Two nurses are with Ryan and three with Lee. One nurse at Ryan's side called for a gurney. Connor lost a lot of blood. While the three nurses helped Lee out of the car. They whisper to each other with a concern expression their faces.

They run with both of them into separate rooms. "Mr. Wilson would prefer both of them in the same room please?" the sister nodded at me. "Sir we will do it right after we know what's wrong with Mrs. Wilson?" she looked back at me, waiting for an answer. "Wait they aren't married. Her surname is...is..." I can't remember her surname.

I take a deep breath "Ms. McGregor." She shook her head. "I'm sorry sir, but we may not put her in the same room as Mr. Wilson if they're not related. Hospital policy." I don't have the energy to fight so I just left the room.

*6 hours later*

The doctor walks towards me and sits next to me. I straighten my back and wait for him. "Sir, Mr. Wilson is stable he must recover and then he can go home..." and wait what happened to Lee? Why didn't he mention Lee?

"And Ms. McGregor?" please tell me she made it? Please tell me she's okay?

"Sir Ms. McGregor is in a coma, there was a lot of swelling on her brain. We hope that the coma will help with the swelling. Her left cheekbone is crushed, when it's saved to operate we must build a cheekbone for her out of her Tibia." Wait if they're going to take bone from her tibia, which means she won't walk again.

"Wait! If you take her Tibia to rebuild her cheekbone, which means she won't walk again." there is something that he's hiding.

"Sir her spine is broken into multiple pieces. The chance that she will walk ever again, won't happen." No that can't be. How cruel was that man to her? My blood is boiling. "Is there more that I must know?"

"Sir there is, but it is very personal so I will wait until Ms. McGregor's parents are here." I nodded. Shoot! I forgot to call them. I take out my phone and dial her mother's number.

"Hello?" Mrs. McGregor answer.

"Mrs. McGregor it's Connor, Ryan's friend. We found her, we're at the hospital. I will send you the location." I can't tell them what is going on. All that I could get out of my mouth was "She still alive."

*A few weeks later. Today's Christmas*

~Ryan's POV~

"Son Mr. McGregor and I would like to talk to you." For the first time, Mr. McGregor wants to talk to me. I will understand if he wants to kill me or will abandon me from her room. Yeah, Lee is still in a coma and those machines are busy keeping her alive.

As we walk towards the exit Mrs. McGregor and I don't say a word. There's this vibe between us. Although I don't expect anything more. Mrs. and Mr. McGregor sit on a bench and I decided to sit in front of them like a child on the grass.

I'm very anxious. My hands are sweating.

"Son, this is not your fault okay? Things like this happen every day. Besides our Lee is one strong girl. I don't know if you know, but Lee helped the other five girls to escape. All five of them visit every often. They speak very highly of Lee, you know? If it weren't for you, she won't be here with us. The doctor said that you saved her life just on time." Her mother holds my hand and tears rolls of her cherry cheeks.

Her dad doesn't make any eye contact with me and that's making me worry. I wonder where her brother is. As we sit in silence I got carried away with my thoughts. What if she doesn't wake up? What if she doesn't remember me? What if she doesn't want to see me again?

"Son we talked to the doctor and we think its best if we..." without thinking I interrupt her mother's sentence. "Please don't? Don't do it yet, please? I want to transfer her to my hospital so that she can be close to me and you don't have to drive every day so far. I will also pay her fees. All of it!! Please do not turn off the machines I beg you guys." I gasp from crying and for some reason, my well's walls broke off and there I sit and cry like a cry baby. Wow!! I was holding back more than I thought.

Her dad holds my shoulder and he's wiping his tears off. "Wilson we won't turn off the machines. that was our last thought, we were thinking to transfer her closer." I jump up and hug her father so hard. First, he backed away then he hugs me.

I run like a small boy in the hospital. "Excuse me? I would like to transfer Ms. McGregor to Mediclinic Stellenbosch." The wanted to say something, but Mr. Wilson jumps in. "We approve of it. Please get the doctor?" the sister nod.

The doctors agreed and I called Connor to organize the private suite for Lee.
