Jacob felt disappointed, and walked away. His clothes were drenched, and his boots soggy. He could feel his feet getting soaked in his boots.
He weakly sighed and walked through the gate. He approached his car, he pulled the door open, and entered in. He shut the door and leaned his forehead on the clutch.
"Darci doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't want me. I can't believe I'm no more important to her." His voice was cracking. He sniffed, tears were dropping from his eyes and he sniffed.
He slowly lifted his head up, started the car engine, and he drove away.
He drove on the highway. An image of him kneeling to Darci and proposing to her flashed through his mind.
Her words echoed in his mind, "I can't! I can't marry you."
He jolted out of his thoughts, and he tried to stare at the road, but the wet windscreen, made it look blurry.
The car wiper was wiping the windscreen but with the rain falling on it, it was quite difficult to see the way, and his tears obscured his vision.
A car was driving besides his car, and Jacob tried to swivel his car to the right to move away from a slow moving vehicle, and it hit the car. His car crashed against the car, it fell on it, and the other car crumbled.
Jacob screamed in shock, he threw his hands off the clutch as his car was falling. His neck got compressed. His head was pushed and his forehead got hit, it streamed out blood.
Maya was at Los Angeles airport. She held a shiny white handbag, and was in a glowingly white lace.
Maya approached the Flight attendant, "when am I going to be on the plane? My flight's scheduled for 11:00 am and it's almost 11:15 am."
"Didn't you get the Memo miss? All flights is cancelled as there is a stormy weather going on. So your trip to New York, will be delayed for the mean time." the attendant politely said.
Maya groaned and rolled her eyes angrily, "I am Maya Lee Reyes and I do not wait. I'm boarding this flight now."
"Sorry miss, you've gotta wait a bit."
Maya sighed, turned away from the attendant and folded her arms.
"Now I've got to wait longer before I'll meet with Jacob again. Well, I've been waiting for so long, and I don't care how long more it will take till I finally get to be with him. And he will be mine." She said firmly.
Maya heaved a long sigh and pulled out her phone from her handbag. She tapped the screen and a photo of Darci appeared.
She stared at the screen and she was recollecting her conversation few weeks ago with a private investigator Philip Stones who she hired to give information about Jacob.
He sent her photos of Darci to her Email, and gave her a phone call.
Maya replied to the call, "Yes Philip, is the nurse in the photos you spoke about in a current relationship with Jacob?"
"Of course Maya" replied Philip.
Maya furrowed her eyebrows and said firmly, "I know what to do."
Maya jolted out of her thoughts, and said firmly, "time out Darci cause, you will be out of Jacob's life pretty soon. I will be the one and only woman in his life."
She let out a chuckle.
***It was 11:45 am later that day***
Bea was in her bedroom staring at her reflection in the mirror combing her hair softly. Her phone bussed, and she held it up from the table.
She peered at the screen, "an unknown number?" Feeling quite confused, she picked up the call, "yes, hello?"
"Am I speaking with Bea Alonzo?"
"Yes, who is this on the line?"
"My name's Tina Fey calling from Rolland's Hospital."
"Hospital?" Bea's heart raced fast recollecting months ago when she received a call from Saint Kelvin's hospital that Jacob was in a critical condition.
She jolted out of her thoughts, her hands were shivering.
"Uhun, what is it about?" She asked curiously.
"A patient by the name Jacob Alonzo was involved in a ghastly car crash. And we got your number through his contact."
Bea's phone slipped off her hands, her heart skipped and she screamed, "not again! Not again!"
"Jacob..." She wailed.
***It was 1:06 pm that same day***
Henry arrived at Rolland's Hospital. He was quite jittery. He approached the nurse station desk and spoke to one of the nurses, "hello, I'm Henry Alonzo and I'm the father of Jacob Alonzo. He's admitted in this hospital."
"Hold on, let me check." The nurse scrolled down her computer and was glancing at the screen.
She lifted her head, "oh yeah, he's in ward 307."
"Where's ward 307?"
"At the sixth floor."
Henry quickly entered the elevator, and it ascended to the sixth floor. Immediately after the elevator doors slid open, he stepped out and he noticed the ward with number '307' pasted on the door, and he approached it.
He gently pushed the door open, he walked in and he spotted Bea standing besides Jacob.
She was staring at Jacob in tears. He wore a cast on his neck, and his right arm was wrapped up with a bandage. A bandage was wrapped around his head.
Bea heard Henry's footsteps approaching Jacob's bed. She turned to him and wiped her cheeks.
Henry's eyes drooped staring at Jacob. He felt hurt staring at the bandages on him.
"How is he doing?" Henry asked softly.
"He dislocated his arm, and his neck is in a bad shape. But the doctor said, he will be alright in a few days or weeks." Bea sniffed and wiped her tears before they could fall.
"This wouldn't have happened if only Jacob listened to me and stayed away from Darci!" Henry yelled.
Bea snapped back, "no! This would not have happened if you did not interfere with their relationship. If Darci did not ditch Jacob, he would not have pursued her and he wouldn't have an accident."
"You just said it, that if Jacob did not pursue Darci. That only tells that that nurse is a huge distraction that his life got put in danger so it's good they stay apart. I know that Darci is gonna show up here later. I will have Jacob discharged by tomorrow so she doesn't meet with him. She has caused more than enough damage." Henry said firmly.
Bea shook her head and sighed.
