Chapter 31 After the accident
The car carrying Brian and Jane passed Matida’s car. All the people sitting in both cars did not know that fate had bound them together. But now is not the time, they are just like strangers accidentally walking on the street touching each other without even knowing it.
Jane felt a little tired from the anesthetic, she leaned her head on the chair to sleep without realizing that Brian had come to hug her and lean on his lap ever since. As for Matida, she looked sleep-deprived and anxious when sitting in the car, she spent two long nights awake taking care of Arthur, her current husband had the misfortune of having a car accident.
And fortunately, Oswat was not seriously injured like his father, he only dislocated his left arm and had to be temporarily bandaged, in addition, he also had scratches on his skin. But he must still be quite numb in the head, so Oswat was injected by the doctors and monitored more in the hospital bed.
This time, when returning to the hospital from home, Matida took some necessary items and clothes for Arthur and Oswat. More than two nights in a row, Matida was awake, now she was even more tired and sleep deprived. But she does not allow herself to rest because Matida believes that everything that happened to Mr. Arthur is her fault, because Matida urged him to return immediately, thus leading to this accident.
If he hadn’t been worried about the story Matida just told, he wouldn’t have been driving carelessly that led to this accident. And until now, Arthur has not woken up, making Matida extremely worried.
The car brought Matida to the front door of the hospital, she slowly got out, although she was almost forty years old, she still looked young, beautiful and noble with her trendy style of dress. Matida entered the hospital quickly, followed by the servant Menka, who was carrying two bags of her accessories.
Matida looked at Mr. Arthur, who was in the intensive care unit, full of wires and machines all over his body, making her even more sad and worried. She quietly watched him through the transparent glass window while the doctors were taking notes and treating him.
Arthur underwent a six-hour surgery, the doctors worked very hard to resuscitate him and bring him back to life. Because Arthur’s condition when he was taken to the hospital was in a very critical state, his head was hit hard, his limbs were scratched a lot from the broken pieces of glass that were thrown and cut.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The car was flipped to the side, his arm was stuck in the glass door, so he was completely paralyzed, accompanied by a broken piece of debris that was stuck in his stomach, making Arthur not aware. It caused him to lose a lot of blood, if Arthur was not taken to the hospital in time, he would probably have died on the spot right on the side of the road.
Oswat woke up after a day of unconsciousness in his hospital bed, the first person he saw at that time was Matida, when she noticed that he was showing signs of recovery and quickly called the doctor. Although Oswat is not the biological son she gave birth to, in Matida’s heart he always has a certain place.
Since Oswat was ten years old, he has lived with Matida, his current stepmother. Of course, Matida is not an evil stepmother like in the fairy tales, she is completely different from them, she always loves and cares for Oswat like her own son. Therefore, Oswat loved Matida very much, he considered her not simply a stepmother but a biological mother for a long time.
When Oswat heard about his father’s condition, he couldn’t help but worry, but because he needed to rest for the wound to heal, so he was forced to obediently lie on the bed. Today too, Oswat just woke up and didn’t see Matida, he guessed she went back home to get some clothes for him and his father.
Oswat felt a little better, he dragged his left arm, which was in a temporary cast, to Mr. Arthur’s hospital room. When he arrived, he saw Matida watching from the outside of the hospital room with worried eyes. Oswat came over and said:
“My father will wake up soon, don’t worry too much.”
Matida looked at Oswat with concern and asked:
“How is your wound? Why are you out here?”
He smiled softly and replied.
“I feel better now. Staying in the room is always very frustrating, so I go out to get some fresh air.”
Matida helped Oswat sit down next to the waiting chair for the patient’s family, she graciously said:
“Please rest more in your room if you still feel unwell, don’t try to get up.”
Oswat reassured:
“I’m not lying, my wound is getting better.”
Matida looked at the lovely boy in front of her, she gently hugged him and patted him:
“You really are a good guy, you never make me sad or worry much. Even when you’re hurt, you don’t want to tell me. You don’t have to, Oswat.”
He smiled happily and replied:
“Everything is over, I don’t want to talk much about my pain to others. Because I am Arthur’s son, a strong and kind boy like what he taught me.”
Matida heard Oswat’s words, she suddenly felt an extraordinary warmth, an indescribable peace in the face of such a difficult situation. She wondered what would she be like without Oswat? Then Matida suddenly realized, until now, only Oswat was by her side listening, confiding and caring for her. He was even better than her husband Arthur, as he was always away from home on business trips and searching for Elise.
Oswat is suddenly curious about Matida’s conversation with his father on the phone earlier. He still don’t understand how the story ends? It’s just that when Arthur received a phone call from his wife, he became so lost and thinking about something that he couldn’t concentrate on driving. Oswat then asked his mother:
“Mom, what did you say to my father on the phone?”
Matida sighed and replied:
“There are things in the past that need to be investigated and put together for clarity.”
Oswat looked at her confused, Matida said:
“I’ll tell you everything I’ve discovered.”
He took her hand to comfort her, silently looked at her understandingly, looking forward to listening to her story and sharing. Matida had a slight smile on her lips and replied to Oswat, she looked at the hospital room where Arthur was lying and then turned to look at him, she asked:
“Do you want to go for a walk with me?”
Oswat nodded silently, he and Matida went out to the back garden area of the hospital to take a walk, she told Oswat everything as she went, from the content of the letter she had read to the connections she had made. she did not expect, the people who were supposed to kill Winston, her ex-husband.
And when he finished the story, Oswat could not hide his surprise and surprise, he encouraged his mother more to quickly overcome this emotional shock. As soon as his wound heals, Oswat will ask Arthur’s acquaintances to investigate Wade’s name for her. He himself was curious to know, for all these years, where has he been? Alive or dead? And is his purpose really like that? Instead, he will replace Arthur investigating everything from beginning to end.
Matida feels a little tired walking, she wants to go to Oswat’s hospital room to rest a bit, it is a special room where there is a small extra bed so the caregiver can sleep there without returning home. Oswat was also very careless with that when his mother, who had just recovered from illness, now has to worry and headache about Arthur’s accident. She must have been very tired and exhausted. He then went back to his room with her so that she could take a short nap.
