Chapter 23 - DECISION

" What you did was really risky? " Atticus whispered.

" What if things had gone wrong at that moment? " Deva asked.

" Everyone within and outside the parameters of this hospital could feel the total and unpalatable tension that emitted from her room " Dante explained.

" Prepare for her to live with me " was Edwards response.

" Don't you understand what we are saying ? " They asked.

" And do I care ? She's ..... She's weaker than any human right now " Edward replied.

" What do you mean weaker than any human? " Atticus asked. He vividly remembered saying this same words but they were just to reel Edward up , Elena was the strongest human he had ever come in contact with so Edwards words shocked him not just him but Deva and Dante.

" I don't think I should be explaining myself to you all " Edward responded leaving them standing shocked and with wide eyes opened.

" Is he seriously serious? " Dante asked with a puzzled look in his face.

" He's joking right ? " Deva asked.

" He's so impossible, I know we aren't really related by blood but we are all demons and creatures of the underworld. Moreover we've lived ourselves as siblings, why the sudden change of attitude "Atticus said shaking his head.

" Is way higher than us Atticus and moreover you know he doesn't really reveal everything to us just like how we don't know why he wants to marry Elena and his obsession with her , am quite sure his MVP are also shocked by his recent attitude. " Deva explained.

" Well he was always proud to begin with " Dante said.

" She's gonna live with him ? " Mrs grey asked not feeling happy with the decision.

" Hun, you know this isn't our decision to take, moreover Edward hasn't said a word about it yet " Mr grey said.

" She's married now grey, she can't live alone anymore " madam Clara explained.

" But she can definitely live with us " Mrs grey said.

" No dear, I must agree with Clara here. She needs someone to care for her daily needs " old man John said.

" But would she agree to that ? " Old man Shawn asked.

" She won't and it's Edwards duty to make her agree " madam Clara said ending their conversation.

Everyone had one thing in their mind and that was if Elena would agree to live with Edward, despite them being married it was event form her cries that was undergoing an internal struggle to accept her fate.

* Inside her room *

" Gage " Elena called out weakly.

" Yes Miss "

" Where's my grandparents ? " She asked.

" They're outside Miss "

" Can I see them ? " she asked.

" Sure Miss, I will just call them " .

Elena couldn't understand why she felt so weak, she was in her weakest state and she felt very vulnerable to anything.

" Oh my baby " madam Clara cried upon seeing the pale state of Elena.

" Oh heavens, she's extremely weak " Deva whispered upon seeing her.

" I finally understand Edwards reasons " Atticus said.

" Grandma, grandpa, grandpa Shawn, uncle and aunty grey " she called them weakly as tears flowed from her eyes.

It was really an emotional reunion, everyone felt the weakness that oozed from Elena and it disheartened them.

" Shh, my dear child don't cry " old man Shawn encouraged. The more he looked at her the more he felt an intense pain. If and if only they had not treated her the way they did.

" Where's Edward? " She finally asked surprising everyone.

" He's ..... "

" Am here " he replied as he walked in into the room and walked closer to her bed side .

Looking at everyone before her, Elena felt miserable. She couldn't be happy and these people were all miserable because of her, she couldn't be a good child nor a good person, could she ever be a good wife ?.

" I really feel like dying grandpa" she said with a sad smile plastered on her pale face.

" Don't say that my dearest " old man John said. He had never seen her in this state before, her spirit was broken and now her mind.

" c'mon Elle, we will need to go home " Mrs grey said in a cry.

" Sure aunty, we need to go home but not to my house " Elena replied.

" Then to where sweetie?  " Mr grey asked.

" To Edwards house, I have decided to live with him. I don't have much I can do now, my body is extremely stressed and exhausted. " She explained weakly surprising them.

They were all tensed on what would happen when they told her she would have to live with Edward but here she was taking her own decision.

" Are you sure about this Elena " Edward finally asked.

" Didn't you say i have no choice, now I have decided to live with you and you're asking me questions " she replied.

" I just want to make sure you are not making hesitate decisions " he replied.

" No am not, I want to rest now " she replied dismissing them.

* Outside the room *

" How weak is she doc ? " Mrs grey asked, she didn't want Elena to live with Edward and it was obvious to everyone.

" Well ma'am, the Miss's case is a bit fragile. That means any mismanagement could lead to death " the doctor explained.

" Can she be operated " old man Shawn asked.

" Yes she can, I already told her this before " the doctor replied.

" What !!! " They exclaimed.

" Yes , I did explain to the Miss but she wanted to opt in for comfort home " he explained further.

" We never knew, I mean she never told us about it " Mr grey replied.

" The Miss.... She really wants you all to be happy " the doctor replied leaving them to process the information.

* The next day *.

Every necessary preparation was made to ensure Elena's comfortability at Edwards place.

" Please Edward, take care of our granddaughter " old man John pleaded with him.

" Of  course I will " Edward replied.

" Well then , you should get going now " madam Clara said.

Elena was currently at sleep by the time they left the hospital so she couldn't bid farewell to her grandparents.

" Where are you taking her to ? " Deva asked inside the jet.

" You could at least tell us that right ? " Dante asked.

" To country H " Edward replied.

" Oh , but why ? " Atticus asked.

" She needs to be far from her grandparents ".

" Why ? " Dante asked.

" It's for her own good ".

" But why ? " Deva asked.

" Enough with the questions, you all should return to your lair and leave me alone " Edward ordered

" I don't know what's running in that head of yours but you need to get your acts together " Atticus said vanishing off.

" Goodbye Edward " Deva and Dante said following Atticus lead.

" It's my decision and I don't regret it " Elena murmured in her sleep.
