Chapter 54

"Alex," Clyde repeated my name as I began sobbing. I didn't reply and I heard him walk over to me before I felt his hand rub my head as his other hand grabbed my shoulder. "Listen to me, he's okay." I stopped and blinked.

"'Okay'?" I looked at him lifting my arm to wipe my tears. He grinned.

"More than okay; he woke up."

"He woke up?" My voice was mixed with Ben's.

"He woke up." Clyde grinned as he nodded.

I stared at him feeling my heart pond in my chest.

"Really?" I whispered.

"I would not lie to you about this. Really." Clyde said.

I gave a cough of laughter as I ran my hands through my hair breathing in relief. Clyde chuckled as he hugged me.

"I'll lock the safe." Ben said.

I had completely forgotten about that. I nodded before I walked out and Clyde followed me. We drove to the hospital in his car and we ran up to the floor Sergio was on before I stopped and grabbed Clyde's shoulder to stop him.

"He's okay?" I repeated looking at him.
