Nathalie wakes up
[After a week]
Just right after a week when Lucas was at work, buried and occupied in the work something happened. Nathalie woke up from her four months of coma and the first thing she saw was her bulging tummy which made her confused. The woman threw a tantrum making everyone in the hospital rush towards her ward.
Since only grandpa Lancaster was beside her, the old man tried to calm her down when the doctor and two nurses immediately barged inside. The old man was on his wheelchair and could not potentially calm her granddaughter now like earlier days.
But he tried his best to explain things to her, even though Nathalie’s reaction was extremely natural because there was no way she was going to be sane after witnessing what was in front of her.
“Grandpa! Grandpa! What…what is this? Who the fuck did this to me?”
Nathalie pulled his shirt from shoulder as the old man was sitting on his wheelchair near her bed. Nathalie hysterically looked around her and panicked when she saw the doctor and nurses strode in.
She was not sure what had happened in the past months and to Nathalie it seemed only a day or two. However, the nurses tried to pin her down on the bed as the doctor injected her to make her sleep for a while. The way she reacted to the whole situation made the doctor take that decision immediately.
Nathalie seemed upset with whatever she had seen at that time and the changes in her body right after waking up scared her genuinely. She began to grow drowsy when grandpa Lancaster pulled himself closer to her bed. The old man could not prevent himself from not tearing up as he raked through Nathalie’s hair and caressed her.
“It will be okay dear, it will be okay now. Sleep for a while, I am here for you. Don’t worry.”
He tried to soothe her as Nathalie soon drifted to sleep once again but this time it was temporary. After she was asleep and the old man was stable now, he fished out his phone from the pocket to inform Lucas.
Grandpa Lancaster had no clue whether he should have been happy or concerned. Nathalie, his sole heiress and the only person he had loved the most in the whole darn world had finally woken up from coma. But the reaction she had displayed made him worry about what the future held.
“Lucas, she…Nathalie had woken up. You should come here immediately.”
The old man could not contain himself from not crying as he was not sure what was going to happen next. His gut feelings had been telling him that something bad was sure going to come. And probably he was accurate in whatever he had been sensing.
“Leave everything that you are doing and come here. She needs you, she has woken up but the way she has reacted to her pregnancy is not good.”
The old man truthfully told Lucas that he needed to be there for her because what he had seen was not good.
He furthermore instructed Lucas to be careful about certain things which needed to be taken care of.
“Don’t bring Khal here, he can meet his mother afterwards. Because right now Nathalie only needs you and your warmth.”
Lucas agreed to it knowing that perhaps it was the best that first he would meet her. Nathalie actually needed his care and warmth to feel secure. Lucas was aware that her reaction would not be as happy as he had imagined upon waking up only to know she was pregnant.
He was aware that Nathalie would freak out and for that reason he always wished to be there for her. Lucas immediately ended the call and rushed towards the hospital, he cancelled every single meeting and whatever he had lined up for that week. After all, his wife had woken up after fucking four months and he could not afford not to be there for her.
Whereas the old man was concerned about the biggest matter ever. Nathalie was completely unaware about Lucas’ identity and now that Khal and him were also staying with Petrakis family. It was obvious for Nathalie to come to know his true identity and the way she might react to that would not be good.
However, at that very moment Lucas did not think about it or the thought even crossed his mind. His sole concern was to be there because his wife needed him when it was the dire need. Whereas grandpa Lancaster subconsciously started to think about the matter and how to hide it.
Or if he should even hide it now?
Nathalie was already pregnant with Lucas’s child and their relationship has already improved visibly. Now if he came to know about his true identity it would not affect her like before. Right? But somewhere deep down the old man was not sure how true his words were or what the future held.
He had to discuss all that matter with Lucas because he would be the one to decide what he wished to do. All that the old man was supposed to do was to wait for him to come. Lucas immediately left from his office and headed towards the hospital while the paparazzi followed him.
They had been stirring up rumours and similar shit to create headlines about him to milk more money. A lot of gossip had been circulating about Kaya and Lucas from the past week. And perhaps that would become one of the hurdles which would be faced by both of them sooner.
Nonetheless, the old man was watching over her ever since Nathalie had drifted to a coma. Even though Lucas and Khal had taken turns too, the child used to stay the whole day with her while reading and talking to his comatose mother hoping that she might wake up for him.
Khal and Lucas had developed and strengthen their bond in the past four months. And waited to tell that to Nathalie that they were father and son now. Khal had wished desperately for his mother to wake up so he could talk a lot about his future brother or sister.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
