A promise

Roy turned to Cynthia whose phone was ringing. He could see the name on the screen, her mother was calling and knew why.

After their visit, Nathan decided not to hold back anymore on the crazy woman. They had been easygoing the first time but after being saddened by Alex's sickness, he didn't hold back.

Cynthia kept looking at the ringing phone for a while, "Are you going to pick that up?" Becca asked.

She looked up slowly turning to Roy, "Did you do what you said you would to her?"

He blinked gently glancing at her, "Did you?" she asked again.

He nodded, "Yes, we did. The boss couldn't hold back anymore"

"Mmm, she deserves it " was all she said.

Roy could see the tears in her eyes, he held her hand. Cynthia smiled through her tears.

"Can we go home, I want to lie down" she let out.

"Okay," he glanced at Becca then lead Cynthia away.

Becca sighed, "Hope everything settles down soon, this storm is taking too long to pass"

.....

Nathan was holding Alex's hand while doing some work on his laptop, it had been two days and she wasn't awake yet.

He felt a light squeeze in his hand and instantly turned to the bed. Alex's hand was moving. He was up and next to her in seconds.

"Alex" he called.

"Mmm," she answered.

He felt his body chock up with tears as her eyes fluttered open.

"Your awake" he cried.

Slowly she smiled, "Am... sorry I made you worried" she managed to say.

He burst into tears as he held her, "Thank you for not leaving me"

"I promised not to" she let out in a whisper.

"I love you, Alex White, I love you so much" he cried

She chuckled, "I love you too" as a tear followed down the corners of her eyes.

...

Becca checked her phone after receiving a notification. She read the text and clicked on the link.

It was about a white family. Mrs White had finally been taken into custody after being brutally beaten up. Her staff had called the police after finding her bleeding in the living room. The police had found evidence of her crime when they searched around the house to see what had been stolen by the invaders. She was now under police watch.

She sighed, "We'll that settles it. Hope now Boss will have some peace of mind about you Alex"

She looked up to see the doctor heading to Alex's room.

"Is she awake" she muttered following them.
