while he slept

A few days passed in a blur for amy.

Her household was in utter chaos and as she was losing it her phone rang.

It was her so called father in law.

She spoke roughly "what do you want?"

He said in a sickening manner "your big mouth filled with me...you cant shut it can you?"

She gasped "you filthy pig do you know what you are saying? "

He laughed coldly "if you want to see simon alive you'll come to me and relieve my ache...come along you know you like it"

She shouted in disgust

"Fuck off stay away from my family....you are nothing but a vulture waiting for your son to die so you can gain money again"

Salim snatched the phone and said angrily "if I ever catch you calling again we will come back... and you will breathe your last breath"

He ended the call pulling a trembling amy in for a hug.

"He can't do shit amz, dont listen to anything that bastard says"

Amy felt unsettled what if he did as he threatened and did something to Simon.

She was becoming more worried as the seconds ticked by she told salim to get saleh and go to guard simon.

Luckily they all worked for the family business.

Her brothers were her solid friends and although they were younger it didn't matter.

Both were still waiting to settle down.

Saleh was 31 and salim 28 whereas she was pushing 42.

well her mum obviously wanted to wait to have more.

But in truth between her and saleh was 2 unborn which sasha never spoke of.

As the evening set in she received an email it shook her it contained pictures of Simon's tourture.

She read the content with disgust and panic.

This very thing could undone all the work dr Langford had strived for.

Her sick husband was still so weak she couldn't allow this to hinder his recovery.

Later in the evening amy went to visit him.

Driving was tedious with her huge stomach nearing the steering wheel but she managed.

She parked and paid at the machine before rushing inside to accompany her sedated like husband.

It had only been 17 hours since he was revived so understandably he was still very weak.

She was hopeful of his full recovery although he hadn't opened his eyes yet.

Amy went in straight to the ward and sat in the hard chair grabbing his hand as if she still thought he wasnt really with her.

She was so close to losing the best and worst thing that ever happened to her.

It didn't matter how they got here she was just glad they were together.

she pondered over her next move hoping simon never found out his birth parents were only miles away.

meanwhile in amy and Simon's home his dad hid in the bedroom patiently waiting for amy to come back.

after 1 hour of waiting he decided to make something in the kitchen and watch tv afterall why stay upstairs?

it's not as if his son would return or Amy's awful father and brothers.

see he had someone tailing amy and heard she's staying alone at home to have rest from the kids...or so she thought he evilly pondered.

back at the Hospital.

amy had sat for two hours waiting if Simon woke as she was giving up he jerked his arm.

and sat up with a start.

amy was startled but quickly found his hand to pull him back to lying position as he had many wires attached.
