13 The Past (5)

Without knowing all this, he continued to sit there as he tried to go over every action taken by Ivy and thus was able to conclude that it was all part of her undercover mission.

After what felt like an eternity, the door to the OT opened as the lead surgeon came out and informed the soldiers.

"The patient is fine. The surgery was a success you can move the patient after some time as she is still unconscious. For now, we will transfer her to the VIP room.''

Saying this, the doctor turned and left. After Mia, Damon and the rest went ahead and camped outside Ivy's door.

A few moments later, Damon looked at everyone present as he told them.

"I am going to see Ivy and then James.''

His sentence was, of course, met with rebuttal from the other soldiers who very strongly showed how dissatisfied they were with him.

It was once again the highest-ranked soldier who came forward and tried to calm the situation down, but when he saw how determined Damon was, he too was unable to hold him and allowed him to go see her.

This decision was not taken very well by the others, and they tried to talk him out of it, but were rendered, silent when they were told that,

"Legally, he is still the chief's husband, and we have no right to stop him from seeing his wife.''

Looking back at Damon, he told him.

''I can allow you to meet chief but not James.''

When Damon heard this, he was enraged.

''Why?''

Damon asked with fury in his voice,

''I am his father am I not?''

"Then why are you getting a parental test done? Huh? I have made my stance very clear you can meet chief but not James without the examination done and results out.''

"Fine!"

Damon snapped as he walked past them to enter the ward.

Stepping inside, the first thing he saw was her pale and wallow face, devoid of its usual pink color and her rosy red lips chapped.

She laid there still to the world on the bed with half of her body covered in white bandages.

Walking towards her, he dropped to his knees when he reached her bedside.

Taking her cold and lifeless hand in his big and warm ones, he felt a sudden pain attacking his heart as hot liquid-filled his eyes.

And that was the first day he openly cried so much.

After calming down, he brought her palm to his lips as he lightly kissed them.

''Forgive me, Ivy it was all my fault, I should have never doubted James.

Even though somewhere deep in my heart, I knew that James was my son only. He looks so much like me except for his eyes that it would be impossible for someone else to be the father.

Ivy, in reality, I just now remembered, that day... on our wedding night... when you told me that you had something important to tell me about your relationship with Harry, but I didn't listen to you and went out to enjoy myself in the club.

My ego was not able to take the fact that you were in love with that bastard Harry despite being married to me, and that is why to spite you and not be done by you I kept on looking for partners when in reality you were the only one I truly ever wanted.

The truth was that I had fallen in love with a young girl with two pigtails, wearing a pink tulle dress and that is when I had decided that I would claim her as my own in the future.

But my stupid self-esteem was not able to take it that the girl who had stolen my heart was in love with another man and that is why I kept on changing partners like clothes so that even for a second I could find the relief I felt when you so innocently smiled at me.

Ivy, would you have told me about your mission that night if I had decided to stay and listen to you?

So...in the end, is it my fault that you are like this, that day had I listened to you would we have been facing a different outcome?

Would the two of us decide to stay together after you finished your mission and then led a happy life with James?

Or had I already missed my chance when I failed you as a husband and James as a father.

I am so sorry Ivy but I swear that when you wake up, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you and James, I will give you everything you and James want.

That is why please wake up Ivy, please."

When he finished speaking, a knock was heard on the door before a nurse entered and informed Damon.

"Excuse sir, but you have to leave. The patient needs rest.''

Hearing this, Damon took a last look at Ivy as he left.
