As Frederick was in tears, Evelyn was at the waiting room praying, She had reconciled with God as she asked God to Forgive her and spare her son’s life. “I’m sorry Lord for moving out of my home and for neglecting my children, I’m sorry for committing adultery with Roland, I’m sorry for everything I have done wrong, Lord I ask for a second chance, I promise I will do things right, please Lord spare my son, please God, my son will not pay for my mistakes, he is just a child, please save him” Evelyn prayed in tears
Just at the same time Evelyn was praying, Bryan moved his hands and slowly he opened his eyes and Frederick smiled to him, Bryan stared at his father speechlessly without blinking his eyes and that got him scared, Frederick quickly ran out to call the doctor and that alerted Evelyn who came in immediately with the Doctor.
Frederick and Evelyn kept staring at themselves with out speaking to each other as the doctor examined Bryan, thier son and with the look on the doctor’s face, he had more bad news.
“your son sustained a brain injury, your child may not be normal ever again” The doctor shared and Evelyn collapsed, She was rushed into the emergency room for immediate treatment.
Roland and Frederick took turn to care for Evelyn as she was unconscious for hours, they kept inquiring from the doctor, if she would be fine.
“she is just in shock, please be patient” The doctor told them.
Mabel took Gianna home that night and she was so worried all through the ride home. Mabel prayed for Evelyn and her son Bryan.
It bothered Mabel that Roland and Frederick were together in the hospital waiting for Evelyn to wake up.
“What if they make a scene in the hospital? I warned Evelyn but she wouldn’t listen, Now see, everything is complicated” Mabel thought.
The next day, Mabel arrived the hospital, she was surprised to see Roland and Frederick sitting together in the waiting room.
“You two are still here?” Mabel inquired Roland and Frederick stared at her speechlessly, “How is my cousin And my nephew?” Mabel inquired
“Evelyn is awake but she is acting weird, the doctor suggest we consult a psychologist, before she loses her mind completely” Roland said calmly.
Hot tears rolled down from Mabel’s cheek “And Bryan?” Mabel said in a low tone
“Bryan is awake but he couldn’t utter a word, I don’t know what is going on, Mabel this is all my fault, all these wouldn’t have happened if I was a faithful husband, I caused all these, if I was faithful, my wife will not have cheated on me for revenge and we will still be a big happy family” Frederick said in tears.
“For your information, My cousin never cheated on you while you guys were living together, she started to date Roland when she heard that your lover moved into your house. The problem both of you have is impatient and lack of communication, I warned both of you but no one listen, now see, When husband and wife fight among themselves, the children would suffer because they at the receiving end of everything that happens between thier parents, I’m so pissed, Gianna told me last night, that Bryan was hungry before he got hit by a moving truck, he had only set out to get lunch for himself and Gianna, I’m so angry with you and Evelyn, I don’t think our lives will be normal ever again” Mabel said in tears and she walked out from the waiting room to the doctor’s office to find out what was needed.
Roland got up from the waiting room and headed straight to where he had parked his car, he was exhausted, him and Frederick barely slept last night, they were worried sick about Evelyn and Bryan.
When Roland got to his car, he burst into tears,
“Please Lord, Forgive me for coming between Evelyn and her husband, I was so selfish, Please Lord I have never asked you for anything but God I want you to heal Evelyn and her son, please Lord” Roland muttered in tears.
