Chapter 7

Eduard's emotion

Eduard's POV

As soon as Eduard went out of Samantha's room he drove away from the Stuart's mansion. The emotion of anger, jealousy consumed him...Anger not towards Samantha but to himself, jealousy of the thought that once again his brother wins darkened his objectivity. Why for all these years I still have this consumable feelings towards Samantha when I know that she is still immature, why....why? That is always the question that i myself can't have the answer..

I was then in a business trip in New York when mother called me crying, I was shock in what i seem to understand as she chattered about an accident that Kyle is involved with....I can't understand her at the time, she is in panic...and then the television in the room showed a breaking news, "The Princess of Scotland, Samantha Stuart was in a car accident with her boyfriend Kyle Blaire , the famous quarteback in Scotland football team and the later died on the spot while Samantha was brought to Stuart General Medical Center....Coldness envelope me, I called my PA and told him to prepare the jet and we are flying back to Scotland in 20 minutes max...

I was nervous during the flight, i know my mother will be devastated for the early demise of my younger brother but what i am afraid of is what happen to Samantha..She is so young, i know she is a spoiled brat but still she has been a constant gravitational force to me pulling me to her even i know that she and kyle are going together and dating. Our parents like that, they want a relationship between their children...

The jet landed at Glasgow International airport at 5:00AM in the morning...

I called my Mom told her i am in Glasgow already but i will be going first to the hospital, she said that's good Son your brother is being prepared...

I arrived at Stuart General Medical Center 20 minutes after and found Uncle Bryan and Aunt Eloise in the lobby of the Surgery department,they are all distraught,

crying...i hugged them both.,they said they also are in deep sorrow for Kyle...and ask me to investigate the cause of the accident...

Aunt Eloise then told me that the surgery is still ongoing with broken bones, broken ribs but the most dangerous part is the brain surgery..

"God i hope You will let her live...i need to see her alive so i can talk to her".

And then Uncle Bryan told me her face was damage and the hospital is forming a team of plastic surgeon to work on her after the brain surgery....

I told then Uncle Bryan that he must not worry it will be over positively...

Then i went home.

My father with sadness in his eyes told me  that Kyle is not around anymore and there must be a thorough investigation to be conducted by our own agency aside from the police, i told him that it started already as of this moment....

I let my mother drink some pills so she can sleep and told my father i will make all the arrangement.

Kyle was cremated and put to rest 5 days after with all his football team attending , family and friends ..Even Bryan Stuart was their Eloise Stuart was not because Samantha is still at the hospital not waking up and scheduled for another surgery...She is in coma for 5 days now...But according to the surgeon the brain surgery was successful.

After the ceremony for Kyle i went immedietly to the hospital and i was brief by the nurse that she is still unconscious but the initial facial repair is good and successful...90% of the tissius will be back to normal.

I sit in her bed, murmured to her ears " Sam come back to us please i need you" i know you hate me but still i like you to come back...please"

I watch her for hours, she was breathing normally but no sign of movement, she was so pale i can see the small green veins in her uncovered forehead..almost 90% of her face was covered with bandage smeared with iodine...

I held her hands for hours until a nurse came injected some antibiotic on her hose fluids.

Everyday after office hours i visit her and went home when Aunt Eloise arrive....There are days that I can't visit if i am on business trip but i compensate my absence during weekend I stayed all day with her talking to her even without a single response, reading to her and let her listen to music i downloaded on my phone, still not a single response.

A month was over, Samantha is still the same...

Another month was over, her bandages on her face was already removed and the face that i missed so much i finally can see now...it is still red but in time it will be back to normal...She is beautiful at 15, she will be the most beautiful when she finally grow and mature into a lady...God help me...she is still a child i am a grown man why is it that i crave for her...

I always express my feelings on my face when she is around so to mask my genuine feelings for her afraid that I will show it and my parents and her parents will know it afraid that my intention will be rejected by her and our parent...I always mask it with indifference and annoyance

I am angry at myself for loving the girl that my younger brother is destined to marry...

There are so many women, i usually have them for 1 night and as soon as morning came they are out of my life...plenty, and i don't even remember their names even their faces...

They were just an object to me to release my frustrations...

But what move me is this girl in bed now...Will she wake up?

2 months turned to 4, still She did not wake up.

5 months came still no sign of waking up, but she is now breathing without the apparatus...

I was on business for 3 weeks...US, Germany, Switzerland, some countries in Asia, like Seoul, Singapore and Phil when mother called me and gave me the news that Samantha finally woke up...I was so happy and wrap up everything in the Philippines and fly back to Glasgow.

Mother told me when I arrived that we will have dinner at the Stuart tonight...Thank you Son for coming home we need you to accompany us, maybe Samantha will remember something when she sees you.

I was shocked, She doesn't remember Mom? Not a thing? I ask my mother.

Mom replied, not a thing son, all her memories are gone...She even doesn't remember her parents. Not a single thing, but Eloise said maybe she can remember you because she has a crush on you when she was little, she always follow you around...Yes before she fell in love to Kyle i thought to myself...

Ok Mom, at 6 then...

Ok Son, grateful for you to come earlier from your schedule...love you....
