Stammering, she asked:
What do you mean by one year late? saying a word at a time.
Mum, I mean that I have been in coma for a whole year and my sweetest, most celebrated mother didn't know Samantha said while just giving her a smile as if she was stating the weather forecast for the day.
She visibly started shaking, took out her phone and called Mr Queens.
Hello honey, Mr Queens picked at the first ring.
Samantha is dead. Mrs Queens said while forging tears.
Am on my way right now, don't cry he said dropping the call.
Everyone in the room just looked at her with surprise and shock on their faces, apart from sir Edward who started laughing hard.
pah pah pah, sir Edward clapped his hands, and everything was frozen in seconds while he turned toward where she was sitting and said, you are always the actress.
I know that will make him come immediately. I just don't know who is worst, you or him. Neglecting your children for that long.
Samantha raised her hands to touch her mom, in order to break to ice in the room.
Mom, I missed you. Samantha said while touching her hands, and you are still beau-ti-ful. with that, she fell asleep.
The awkwardness in the room increased.
Mr Queens' secretary Shila is typing away on her computer when she hears a loud breaking sound coming from her boss' office. Wondering what is happening, she runs to his office, and grab the door and opened at once.
walking slowly into the office, she saw him seating on his sit, looking dazes while his coffee cup is broken into pieces and the coffee splash all over.
Walking to stand beside him, she gently rubs his back and whispered slowly, calm down. Am here to help you out.
Samantha is death. He voiced slowly and started crying, holding her tight, he continued sobbing while she rub his head which was resting on her boobs.
I will take care of things in your absent, she said, go to them, they need you now.
He sobbed loudly.
Relax, let me book your flight to London.
Shila slide from where she was standing and sat on his laps, he lend his head into her back and started calming down, after sniffing her perfume. She started booking the next available flight from his computer from that position, arranging his pick up taxi and so on.
By nine thirty, Shila accompanied Mr Queens to the airport.
Oliver dear, I need to go home and change, I have not had my beauty sleep since I boarded that plane to London. Mrs Queens said while giving her bright smile and Oliver just looks at her with disgust in his eyes.
Just be sure you are here when she wakes up again, we really need to make her happy and at peace so that she can recover easily. That is what the doctor said, Oliver responded.
If you mean not fighting with your father, you have to tell him that when he comes. with that, she picked up her Mirror embellished handbag, arranged her grey woolen scarf around her neck, she walked out of the hospital.
Sir Edward just walked back into the hospital room, looking at Oliver he commanded, go home and refresh, eat and sleep. You look far worst than someone who was in coma.
Oliver nodded his head, okay Grandpa just call me when she wakes up.
I will. Now go he said pointing at the door.
He walked to Sam and kissed her forehead and then walks out of the door.
Immediately he walked out of the room, sir Edward took out his phone and dialled a number.
Check if what happened to my granddaughter last year was truly an accident or someone is trying to get back at me through her. I will send you the details. He spoke into the phone
Samantha smiled in her head , even though she was asleep, the noise and the entire disagreement that was going on in the room made she partially asleep and partially awake. So Grandpa is the only one suspicious enough to investigate, my drama full mother just showed her false character and left to rest, giving such a high profile drama without camera, I wonder who told her that I need such fake love. Sam thought. it looks like i need to patch up this family. With that thought, she drifted into the Dreamland.
