Claudius needed to stay in the hospital for more than 3 months for test and rehabilitation because they found out that he have other injuries besides the burns he received multiple bone fractures but he still lucky and it's also a miracle that his spinal cord was not damage but he totally needs rest not stress so he totally beg Equinox that he cannot stay everyday at the hospital because he will be crazy because of isolation, the hospital smell, the sick people around him (even if he don't go out without assistance) and other things to add on the list that was never ending.
It's full of complaints, a little bit of nagging,begging/pleading,and bargaining. That's what Claudius did almost everyday I mean.It's a good thing that Equinox patience is really long.
The most important thing for Claudius is he needs to check on her own mother too. He sometimes does the exercise routine for her body not to get too stiff and it's good for blood circulation. He also changes her bed position to avoid bedsores and make sure that her room is clean. If he's working, a trusted caregiver was assigned to her to continue the routine; the caregiver also cleans her mother's body. He does that as well when he's the one taking care of her.
It's been a month that he hasn't visited her, but Equinox makes sure that he and Aquila visit her and do video calls with Claudius. Even Eula pays a visit to her mom.
The only consolation that Claudius gets is a hospital round visit of the Angelic Doctor Hyacinth Dalton. He always talks to her all the time and tries to make a move to convince her that he can go home and if possible if they can date outside the hospital.
He knows that Hyacinth might just think that he is not serious and he's just too bored in the Hospital. But he will try his best to convince her that he's honest about his feelings.
Claudius is not a flirt but he's so natural with it that he always ends up being called a jerk. He calls himself a Self Proclaimed Charmer.
Equinox gave him work to do while he was in the hospital to keep him busy, but it did not work. He really wanted to rest at home. He also wants to take a bath but he can't because of Doctor's orders now he feels sticky and dirty.
Claudius is really a germaphobe, He hated dirty places ever since he was young. After getting soiled with sweat when he plays sports he will make sure that he takes a bath.
He believes in the saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" by unknown. That's why he was also called a little bit Gay, well Equinox didn't know where it came from. But Equinox is sure about Claudius' sexuality; he's a natural ladies man.
Claudius often talks about trying to have a date with girls, but for Equinox he is not interested at all of course Eula is different.
She was his First Crush and Love he just blushed after realizing that Eula holds his heart much firmer than they were kids. He was in love and he couldn't believe it but he admitted defeat already.
Aquila is the one who moved for Equinox in the company and in the shadows, He also bargained for a long vacation after Claudius is out from the hospital and fully recovered. He agrees without any second thoughts about it.
Aquila also works as a food delivery guy, when He and Claudius crave for food since Aquila got quite close to the security guards at the hospital they let Aquila bring anything and even get alcohol to drink of course Claudius couldn't drink any drop since he's still on extensive medication plan. He is really guarded by his Doctors and Nurses.
Claudius and Aquila are like close brother's too; the only difference is Aquila tends to not speak frequently, but when he does it means a lot.
The two always exchange ideas and give feedback and suggestions when they observe the company's premises.
They report what needs to be improved when it comes to management,incentives/ bonuses, other employee perks and programs.
The two help him to expand the business to much greater heights and they also check the new trends when it comes to the business world.
Claudius is the one who socialized more and Aquila is the observer. They both sent cohesive reports to help him with a lot of stuff.
The only person that far exceeds what both men can do is his Twin sister Solstice who is Incognito and having fun with her life without a clear location where she is.
They are twins but Solstice is much more ruthless and cunning than himself. Solstice grew to be a hardcore independent woman, she never wants to be ordered or to be a follower so she makes sure that she exceeds all of the expectations from her and be the Boss of her own.
Equinox knows how his twin sister's attitude sometimes makes her more in trouble. She isn't the type of woman who will be a stay at home wife, she is an Alpha type who loves to dominate and be a leader.
She also secured her own spot for excellence in the Business, Music and Arts world, her temperament is sometimes due to her attitude and artistic temperament. She loves to draw, paint and carve on both wood and rock. No one can bother her if she is inside of her zone.
She is the one who can make Claudius shut up by just looking at him not twice but only once.
She also loves sports and martial arts. She was addicted to it, she did Boxing,Taekwondo,Jujitsu, Kendo,Judo, Kyudo and others, she even studied at the place where the martial arts originated. She was a certified fighter but their father let her be, I think their father really spoiled Solstice than him.
"You can do whatever you want but If you make a mistake it's up to you how you will face the consequences of your own decisions".
"I will not control your life so you will be the one who will walked and make a good or bad path"
"You have your own brain to use properly, we are your parents but not dictators or puppeteers who will move you to what we desire, you should move on your own and make your judgments" their father Perihelion Blackwell makes sure that they take it to heart and seriously.
Their Mother Callalia always makes sure that he and his twin sister don't fight with material things. The two of them were treated the same because their mom didn't care about their genders.
The simple rule of their mom is if Equinox has new things then Solstice will also get new things as well. No favoritism means no jealousy or bad emotion that will brew in the future.
They also get punished fairly if Equinox did something bad. He is the only one who will get punishment but if Solstice knows about the mistake that Equinox does and didn't stop him from doing so, Solstice will also get proper punishment.
Their mother lets them explore as much learning as possible. She lets them get hurt, get dirty and be in total mess but she will always ask what they learn.
They grew up in an environment that has restrictions and also freedom to decide for themselves. That's why Solstice grew up as an independent woman.
As Equinox thinks about Solstice he feels a sudden cold wind in his nape, he feels that Solstice might go home at any time soon so he should make sure that he's ready to meet his twin sister.
The twins' connection is real, magical and beautiful.
Meanwhile, A woman in her dark blue dress looks out the private plane window and looks at the sparkling lights of the city.
Here I go, I will now go home for the first time in 5 to 10 years! the woman said excitedly to the flight stewardess.
Wait for me, my twin brother as she mumbles after sipping a glass of sparkling wine and eating the cheese with some bread, beef and broccoli dish.
Equinox felt uneasy, and tried to call Eula to check if she was in his house. He also asks if she is okay and what is she doing?. He also called Aquila and asked how Claudius was doing? Aquila answered that Claudius is sleeping due to the medicine that he had just taken. He even called the hospital that Claudius' mother was admitted to and the caregiver said she is still the same.
.
He's currently sitting at his office and he remembers to call his parents. They are doing fine as well. So the last person he needs to check is his twin sister.
Solstice always picks up the phone after a few rings, but now Equinox tried to reach her phone fifteen times already but she didn't pick it up at all, now he knows what it is, this uneasy feeling.
After 96 hours of travel via private plane.
Solstice enjoyed no hassle free, just traveling without any stress but right now she just wanted the plane to land to their destination and get over this worried emotion.
Solstice arrives safely at the airport, and she grabs a taxi as soon as gets out of the airport. Please bring me to Saint Michael's Hospital.
She paid the driver handsomely, since he drives carefully but fast enough for her to arrive at the hospital before lunch. She unloaded her baggage outside the car with the help of the taxi driver. And walk straight to the front desk of the emergency room still carrying her luggage.
She asked the nurse politely "Hi, may I ask which room Claudius Blues admitted?"
The nurse can't help but to stare at her for a minute or two, but works to type fast to search for the patient's name.
"She was so Beautiful is she a Goddess?" Every guy intern said.
She is in room 2710 VIP Private Room Ward. Just go straight and turn left you will see a private elevator and on the 15th Floor there will be a nurse station and you can ask them about the patient.
Thank you! Solstice said and walked to the direction where the private elevator is located.
As the elevator door opens she sees Aquila wanted to sprint but Solstice grabs him by the collar of his shirt.
This brutal twin sister of the boss is back! Aquila said at the back of this mind.
Where is Equinox and Claudius! Solstice says as she makes sure that her grip is tight on Aquila's shirt.
The hell she is a monster. His strong shirt will be torn in shreds! Who camouflages as a woman! Now I believe in SkinWalkers! Aquila can't help but to have cold sweats as he was thinking how to not lose his body coverings.
Claudius an Equinox is inside that room Aquila points to the room near the Hospital Balcony or Smoking area.
Solstice, let go of Aquila's shirt and it's really torn so he gave him money to buy a new one.
Aquila, dialed Equinox phone number and called your monster twin. She's here, Boss. She will just open the door and start counting backwards.
Five. Four. Three. Two. One.
Aquila knew Solstice and he was really a bit scared of her; he admits that he felt that she was a really dark witch or even a demon queen. No one knows why he was like that to Solstice.
The Door opened with a loud (Bang!) even the nurses needed to hurry to check what happened.
Both Equinox and Claudius are not ready for this surprise. They both look as if this kind of thing is normal. A grand entrance of their crazy weird witch sister Solstice.
Hey! You bastards, you both make me worried and make me come home sooner. The heck you both. She run towards Equinox and hugs him tightly.
Let me check your injury. You look like a mummy. Is it painful? Unexpectedly, Solstice slaps Claudius back with a wide grin.
Ahhhhh! You wicked brute! it's painful damn you! Claudius really has his tears falling. I'm not joking, it's really painful, You're still the same bully!.
Your hand is still made like metal and the weight is serious, Nox can you check if it's bleeding.
Yes, It's bleeding! Let me call the Doctor! Said Equinox hurried to leave the room.
You brute the bandage was just changed earlier now I need to change again do you know how painful it is to change these pointing at the bandages said Claudius.
Claudius, Don't act like a baby, You're a grown man already teased by Solstice.
If you get severe burns and get a lot of fractures. I will tell you the same words you're saying right now Claudius really is annoyed and mad with Solstice.
How long will you be staying this time? You haven't called your parents and go directly here right?.
You still have your luggage with you,If you want to eat help yourself there is food in that table over there Claudius point at the table.
"You can also sleep there, I know you have jet lag". Since they are kids Claudius always had been with the twins, he also knows how worried Solstice is; she's just released her stress by slapping his back earlier. He knew her more because she was like a sibling to him.
The bond between Claudius,Equinox and Solstice is more than blood. He felt welcomed and he is not alone because of the Blackwell's now he's seeing Solstice crying he can't help but to chuckle a bit .
You really make me worry, I hate you! Solstice was still crying herself out.
Claudius don't do it again Solstice warned
Do what being kidnapped, The Hell Solstice you know I don't have control on that Claudius is now teasing Solstice.
Now who's the crying baby? Can you repeat that again?.
Equinox opened the door with Doctor Hyacinth and they witnessed Solstice crying hard.
Hey, What happen Equinox let me know that your wound bled. We just changed the bandages this morning. Are you in pain right now? What is your pain scale from ten (10) the most painful and one (1) the lowest pain you felt or no pain at all.
Let's change your bandages now, Dr Hyacinth said
Solstice now sees how big is the injury that Claudius has and now she feels guilty about what she did!. But she notices how Claudius looks at the Doctor and How the Doctor takes care of Claudius.
The Doctor finished bandaging Claudius' burns and the Doctor also warned Claudius not to exert himself with too many movements and even teased him that he will not take a bath if the wounds did not heal yet.
The nurses also checked Claudius' medicine if he's taking it and did not missed any.
We will talk later, Equinox said and he is serious when he does this.
But it was cut by Eula knocking at the door, visiting Claudius, Aquila, and of course Equinox.
Solstice was surprised as well to see Eula in the flesh.
