Chapter 182 Broken

• Juliet sat beside Alex who lay on the hospital bed in his private room in his hospital. he had been unconscious for hours and his doctor had assured her that he was fine and would wake up soon, but why wouldn't he wake up... she sighed deeply as she held his hand that was no longer cold thankfully... Joy had stayed with her for a while. But she had left to call her soon and take care of some other things that needed her attention. Patrick was busy with Daniel's case and was working hard to make sure everything worked out well. But she hadn't heard from Michelle. she had been expecting Michelle to show up for a while, but she hadn't called or showed up... Juliet eyes were on Alex face as she watched his features. he looked like he was in a deep sleep and she wondered if she was dreaming about something. She hoped that it wasn't a nightmare and that whatever he was dreaming about was nice and warm and not filled with betrayal and pain... maybe there he could be free before he returned to reality to face how harsh it was... how was she going to console him... Juliet felt her eyes blur with Tears, but she quickly wiped her tears away when she heard a soft knock on the room door... the door was pushed open shortly after, and Patrick walked into the room... Juliet turned to look at him, and he smiled slightly at her; she smiled back at him before she returned her attention to Alex. "How is he doing?" He asked, and Juliet sighed deeply, "The doctor said he was fine and there is nothing to worry about, that he is going to wake up soon, but he hasn't woken up yet..." She responded...
• "What about Daniel?" She asked and tilted her head to look at Patrick, who had a worried look in his eyes as he stared at Alex... "The case has been reopened, but it happened so long ago it might take a while..." Patrick answered, and Juliet said nothing... "I have to leave soon; please inform me when he wakes up,", Patrick said, and Juliet nodded. She walked him to the door and watched him leave before Alex's doctor approached her. "May I speak to you in my office, ma'am?" The doctor said after checking on Alex, and Juliet nodded, her eyes travelling to Alex as she followed the doctor out...
• "Please have a seat" Dorothy Mathews gestured for Juliet to sit down, and Juliet did as she said. She could see how red and swollen Juliet's eyes were and could tell that she had been crying a lot. "Is something going on?" Juliet asked immediately when she was seated. She was afraid that something was wrong with Alex because why would the doctor ask to see her? "Everything is fine with Mr Graham. You don't have to worry, but I'm sure he has told you about his condition,", Dorothy said, and Juliet nodded. Alex had told her that he got severe panic attacks that led to pain in his chest, and sometimes the pain became unbearable. She had witnessed it multiple times and knew it wasn't to be taken lightly. "I'm not sure what happened because it seemed like he was getting better and finally doing well, but I think you need to watch him closely after today... he has to avoid anything that could mentally put a strain on him like today... it can get worse next time," Dorothy explained the best way she could to Juliet, and Juliet nodded... "I will prescribe some medicine for him to take, and he can go home after he wakes up, but please, I'm leaving him in your hands", She said, and Juliet thanked her...
