Sasha nodded and sighed, the whole place was quiet again "have you told your parents?" Vanessa broke the silence.
Sasha shook her head and immediately reached into her bag for her phone and made a phone call "hi mom. Michael had an accident. Yes, I'm in the hospital. No I don't know what happened. He is still in the emergency room. I don't know how long yet. Yea, mom and dad is here. Okay bye" she hung up the call and look at Vanessa "she is on her way."
Vanessa nodded and heaved a sigh again, she rested her head on the wall and closed her eyes, anybody that see her will know that she was really worried. Michael is her only child and she really love him "no matter how I think about it, I can't imagine how this happened. He rarely drive."
Sasha took in a deep breathe and let it out, she too is surprise, although Michael often drive to work himself but she knows that he is often picked up and also dropped off but she has never been opportune to see his driver. The day he met her at the boutique, someone was with him but she was not able to make out his face because he was standing at the door. The few times she had been with him in his car, she had observed that he is a very careful driver, so what happened?
Minutes later, a man walked towards them and they all turned at the sound of his footsteps. Sasha froze when she saw the man and shock enveloped her eyes, isn't that Mr. Gary who always send contract to her company these past months? Or is she mistaken? No she is not, that is Gary, she confirmed.
"Gary" Joseph walked to him immediately and the man greeted him which he responded to with a "mm" Gary looked at Vanessa and greeted her too before his eyes settled on Sasha, he smiled weakly at her before greeting her too and Sasha came to her final conclusion, he is Gary but what is he doing here? "What exactly happened?" She heard Joseph asked.
"Sir, boss was at the office earlier in the day, he couldn't get himself to work or so I believe. He just kept staring into his laptop without doing anything and after a while, he got up and decided to go for a drive. I opted to join him but he refused. The next thing I heard is that he is in the hospital. After calling you, I went to the scene and checked the surveillance footage. It seemed that he might have been lost in thought and didn't realize that a school bus was fast approaching, he might have noticed when the bus was already closed and he swerved to avoid it but came in collision with a lorry that was coming from the right, causing his car to somersault."
Joseph, Vanessa and Sasha all let out a deep sigh at the same time, the accident seemed like it was destined to happened. He avoided hitting a school bus but then hit a lorry, just what kind of luck met him today?
"Sasha" someone called and they turned to see Angelica and Nicholas approaching in quick steps "what happened?"
"Mom, dad" Sasha greeted with a faint smile, her eyes was already watering, how is Michael faring in there? Is his injuries serious? His car somersaulted, did he break any bone? As her mind wandered to different places and the wounds he might have sustained, the tears started dropping from her eyes. She might have hold herself in front of Vanessa but not in front of her mother.
Angelica rushed to her immediately and put her in her arms "baby, baby, is okay. Everything is going to be okay" she soothed her and her eyes met with Vanessa's, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed her hand, a way of showing her comfort.
Vanessa smiled and her hand tightened on Angelica's own, she nodded before sniffing. Nicholas approached Joseph and the two men talked in hushed voices. Joseph explained to him about the accident and he too heaved a sigh, he also felt that the accident was meant to happen but none of them voiced out their thoughts.
The hall remained quiet once again except from Sasha's soft sobbing sounds. Vanessa was already rubbing her back as a way to comfort her too while Angelica was hugging her.
The light finally turned off after an agonizing thirty minutes, the door opened and the doctor came out. Everybody sprang to their feet and surrendered him "how is he?" What the question in everybody's mouth.
"He is out of danger now but he still unconscious. Likely to wake up in eight hours time or more" The doctor answered to their question professionally.
Everybody heaved a sigh of a relief, at least he is going to live, they all felt grateful for that. The doctor walked away and almost immediately, the door opened again and three nurses stepped out, two of them was pushing someone on the stretcher who is obviously Michael. His eyes were closed and there was a bandage round his head, there was also a stiff neck collar on his neck. They pushed him into a room and the family members followed behind.
After making sure Michael was comfortable in his new room, the nurses left. Sasha, Angelica and Vanessa stayed in the room with him while Joseph and Nicholas left to see the doctor and Gary trailed behind them.
"You should go home. You deserve the rest" Vanessa smiled at Sasha "I will stay with him."
"No mom, you are the one that needs to go. You need the rest more" Sasha gently declined.
"But I have been resting at home since morning. I didn't go anywhere today but you just came from the office. Look, you are still dressed in your office clothes, you need a shower and a nice sleep. So don't worry about me, I will be fine, I will stay with him till he wakes up. You can return tomorrow" she urged.
