Chapter Fifty-Nine

Jasmine POV

I paid the driver immediately he dropped me off in front of the hospital.

"Your change ma'am." The driver said but I was already running into the hospital.

I bumped into Doctor Tony at the reception.

"Where are you going in such a hurry Jasmine?" He asked.

"Alex.....where is he?"

"You heard the news?" He asked and I nodded.

"The director told him to pack all his belongings and leave the hospital, he must be going through a lot right now" Tony said.

"So where is he?" 

"In his office" he said and I muttered a thanks and immediately started running towards the elevator.

"But he wanted to be left alone!" Tony yelled but I was already entering the elevator.

I got out of the elevator on the third floor and I ran to Alex's office and entered without knocking.

He was already packing his things and he stopped to look at me immediately I ran in.

"Thank God you are here, I was so worried about you. How did it happen Alex? How the hell did those reporters know that you have hand tremors?" I asked but he just stared at me.

"Oh I am sorry, I've forgotten I'm not supposed to call you by just your name, so what happened Doctor Alex?"

"There's no need for that I'm not a doctor anymore." He said as he continued packing.

"Are you okay?" I asked but he just ignored me.

"Alex" I called and he stopped and looked at me.

"I want to be alone Jasmine" he said.

"But..."

"I want to be alone!" He yelled and I flinched.

"Okay... I'll... I'll leave" I said and walked out of his office.

I sat on a chair by the hallway as a tear rolled down my face.

Why the hell do I feel so hurt because of him?

Alex's POV

I packed my things to my car and drove home.

I dropped the box containing my stuffs that I packed from the hospital in the sitting room.

My phone rang and it was Mason.

He's probably worried about me too but I don't want to talk to anyone right now.

My phone beeped again and a message came in from the Prime Minister.

💬 I warned you didn't I?

You are too weak to fight me Alex

I hope you've learnt your lesson now?

"Aaaaaah!" I yelled as I threw my phone to the wall breaking it into pieces.

Jasmine

I took a cab back home and met Megan in the sitting room.

"Are you okay Jas?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I replied as I walked straight to my room and sat on the bed.

He must be going through so much pain right now.

If only I can be there to comfort him now.

I just feel like there's much more to Alex than I know about.

If only he'll let me in and tell me about his problems.

Then I remembered what I heard him say in the plane while speaking with Emma.

He had said his parents were murdered.

I quickly took my laptop and searched Alexander Sanchez on the net.

Then I clicked on his biography.

His Dad was Medical researcher and his Mom was a Neurosurgeon but both of them disapeared one night and they are still missing up till date.

"Were they really murdered? By who...?"

We were given a 3 days holiday before we resume work at the National hospital.

But nevertheless, I am still going to the hospital today.

I took a cab to the hospital and met with Doctor Tony.

"I've been trying to call him since last night but it won't go through" I said to Tony.

"Wait outside for some minutes, I'll finish my work here and we'll go check on him together." He said and I agreed.

Minutes later, he came out and drove us to Alex's apartment.

"Alex!" He called as he knocked but there was no response.

We continued knocking for minutes but there was still no response.

"Maybe we should give him sometime, he really wants to be alone." Tony said and we agreed to come back and check on him the next day.

The next day, we went there and the same thing happened.

No response from him and I was starting to get worried.

"Do you think we should call for help? What if he hurt himself?" I asked Tony.

"Alex is pretty stubborn but he isn't a fool so I'm sure he's fine." 

"Then why isn't he opening the door?" 

"Let's come back again tomorrow, if by then he still doesn't open up, we'll break in." He said and I agreed.

"Come, I'll drive you home." He said and I muttered a thanks.

"Alex!" We called as we knocked.

"He's still not answering Tony, should I call 911?" I asked.

"No need, lend me your hair pin." He said as he looked at the long thin pin I used to hold my hair and I gave it to him.

Then he started to use the pin on the lock trying to unlock it.

"You know how to pick a lock?" I asked.

"Yeah, I was pretty stubborn as a child you know, I'd break to my parents room and steal their money so you know, old habits die hard" he said.

We spent some more minutes and finally he was able to unlock the door.

I quickly went inside and met broken glasses all over the floor.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"Check his bedroom." Tony said pointing at the bedroom and I quickly ran there.

And there he was, sitting on the floor beside his bed, looking like a broken man.

"Alex" I called as I quickly ran to him and squatted beside him.

"I... I... I'm done." he stuttered as he looked at me with teary eyes.

"What?" 

"My life is a mess, I worked so hard to become a doctor and the man that murdered my parents took that away from me like it was nothing. And yet, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm so useless. I have no reason to live anymore." He cried and I hugged him.

"You aren't useless Alex, you are the best Neurosurgeon in the whole world and you must keep living, at least for me cause I can't live without you." I said as a tear rolled down my face.
