"He hasn't said anything since we got here, " Chris's father told his in-laws.
Camilla's parents had arrived minutes after they got the call. And soon Jack and Alfred arrived too.
"Sorry we are late, the whole place is swarming with reporters " Alfred apologized. Jack walked to his brother.
"How did they get to know so fast, it's like they were waiting for it to happen " Camilla's father muttered.
"We will get to the bottom of that later, now let's just pray my daughter and grandchild survive" Chris's father frowned watching his son.
Alfred had called the other and soon they were all there. Jack was spotted next to Chris who had been silent the whole time.
Ritah and Ben brought everybody some warm coffee and then stood next to Chris's father.
"Are you tired you can ask for a free bed and rest " she whispered.
He gave her a slight smile and shook his head, "am alright I don't think I can rest with all that's going on. the doctors have been in there for hours and Chris looks like he would die if anything happens to her "
"I feel so sad for him, he hasn't left that place since I got here, it's like he turned into ice," she said.
They stood there in silence waiting as they prayed things would turn for the best.
"I TOLD YOU SHE WOULD HARM CAMILLA AGAIN " a voice rang in the hospital hallway.
They all turned apart from Chris to see who it was.
Ray strode to where Chris was pushing him off his seat. Chris didn't fight back and stayed there.
Ray was screaming at him with tears flowing down his face. "Now see what she has finally done. It's Deja Vu" he cried.
Rachel pulled Ray away with the help of Jack.
"Calm down, Ray. Brother isn't in the mood for this please control yourself "
"Control me? ..my best friend and her child are in there fighting for life and it is all because of your mother" Ray pushed off Jack as Rachel.
Pointing his finger at Chris he spat out, "Your mother did it once and we lost the child while Camilla must-have of her life . If it happens again what do you think a friend will go through? IT WILL BREAK HER " he cried.
Chris looked up tear faced, Ray, stopped for a second then said, "If anything and I mean anything happens to Camilla again. This time I won't ever forgive you and your wretched family " Ray walked off after in tears.
Chris closed his eyes remembering the bloody scene of Camilla. She was crying in pain while she lay in a pool of blood.
Two stab wounds in the back while one inch away from her belly. Her hand was bleeding too, it looked like she had tried to stop the intruder from hurting their child.
"Ca...Camilla " he cried holding her in his arms.
"Ba..baby...." she struggled to say but the blood kept choking her.
"Shhh...don't say anything " he cried but Camilla smiled while her tears fell.
Grabbing his hand with her trembling blood-stained hand, she placed it on her baby bump.
"Promise me....you will save him no matter what " seeing her getting weak he nodded hurriedly.
"Good " she murmured before closing her eyes.
He didn't let go of her even when the ambulance arrived. It was until his father who had just arrived convinced him it was okay. His clothes were once again stained with her blood.
"Why do you keep bleeding just for me and still want to stay by my side "he had cried.
Jack came and picked him up waking Chris from his trance. He looked at his hands then clothes all dried in Camilla's blood.
The ICU door finally opened and the doctor walked out. Everybody moved closer to him.
" How are Camilla and the baby?" Chris finally spoke.
The doctor sighed, "The baby is fine but his mother...." he stopped.
"But what? tell me what happened to Camilla " Chris yelled.
