Mafia's innocent girl ✅

Ch.8 Love

EMMA'S  POV

"Miss Emma! Please wake up." I heard someone call me.

I groaned and rubbed my eyes yawning.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was sitting on a chair near the hospital bed where Carl lay. My head was resting near his hand and a doctor was calling my name.

Oh wait he is calling me.

"Y-yeah doctor...is everything alright?" I asked getting up from the chair.

The young doctor smiled at me.
"Yes Miss. Everything is alright.  The patient has started reacting to the treatment but we still don't know when Mr. Smith will wake up."

I looked at Carl's sleeping form. He looked calm. Like he had no worries at all.

"When will he wake up doctor? Can we do anything to bring him back to consciousness?" I asked with a worried expression.

The doctor gave me an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry dear. But we can't do anything. You can only pray to god for his well being."

I half smiled at him and nodded.

The doctor left the room.

God! Please give me my Carl back.

I sat near Carl holding his hand in mine.

I am here since yesterday and he has not shown any sign of waking up.

I puffed air out of my mouth.

The door of the room opened causing me to snap my neck in its direction.

I saw Aiden standing there with a bag in his hand.

He came in and sat besides me.

"Hey" I said.

"Hi. Um...I brought you some McDonald's in case you are hungry. I mean you are here since yesterday. You can go home and get freshed. I will stay here with him. Don't worry." He said handling me the bag.

He is right. I am hungry but I can't go home. I cannot leave Carl like this.

"You know you don't have to worry so much. He is a warrior and I know he will come back. Don't worry please and go home." He said reading my thoughts.

"I know...I know he w-will come b-back. But..." I was cut of by my own cries.

I started sobbing.

Aiden cupped my cheek and made me look at him.

His eyes showed worry.

"Emma...please don't cry. You don't look good while crying. And when you smile, you make everyone else around you smile. We need to be happy because that's what Carl wants. He will not like seeing you crying." Aiden said wiping my tears.

I nodded.

"My car is outside with the driver. You can go home now and come after lunch if you want. But don't worry. I am here." He said holding my shoulders.

"Yeah..I will go." I said and took the bag of McDonald's he brought while going out of the room.

I went home in the car Aiden told me to go. But my mind was still in the hospital. I feel helpless seeing Carl like this.
I was very hungry and so I ate the food Aiden brought on my way back.

Reaching home I was greeted by a worried Stella.

She said that Aiden had informed her of what happened and since then she is very worried about Carl and me.
