After sitting for more than two hours, watching her father sleep peacefully, fatigue and weariness crept into Alia's body forcing her to take a nap. She rested her head on the edge of her father's bedside and closed her eyes as the beeping heart rate monitor sang her a rhythmic lullaby.
Judith on the other hand decided to lie down on the plush couch in the room after failing to convince Alia to sleep in the sa spot.
The room remained peaceful for a few more hours with both won sound asleep until Alia felt soone's hands tenderly stroking her hair. She lifted her sleepy face up to see who it was, a bewitching smile stretching across her lips when she t her dad's loving gaze.
"Daddy, you are awake." Alia slowly stood up, pushing her chair backwards, the sound of the chair scraping on the tiled floor jolting Judith out of her slumber.
"Yes. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on your bed resting?" The Senator queried in a weak and tired voice.
However, instead of responding to her dad's question, Alia started crying afresh while apologizing to her father.
"Dad I am so sorry for everything."
"Don't say that sweetheart. None of these is your fault." The Senator spoke weakly, his voice dry and raspy but laced with tenderness, as he squeezed his daughter's hand that was holding his.
"On the contrary, it's my fault." Alia wiped her tears with the back of her hand as she leaned down and kissed her father on the forehead. "None of this would have happened if I hadn't gotten involved with that insane young man. None of this would have happened if I hadn't asked you to speak with him. I shouldn't have gotten you involved in my affairs. I didn't figure Blaze to be so heartless to the point of hurting you."
"But it was an accident." The Senator said, recalling how Blaze had tried to help him stand up after the fall.
"No..." Alia shook her head. "It was intentional and I will never forgive him for this."
Judith ca from behind, her hand reaching for Alia's shoulders to console her.
"Amy, you have to stop hurting yourself over this matter. Please, you need to consider your health and that of your precious child growing in your womb."
"Exactly." The senator concurred with Judith's statent, nodding his head. When he tried to push himself up into a sitting position thinking the injury had been taken care of, he let out a deep groan that shook Alia to the bones.
"Don't do that, Daddy," Alia said in a slightly jittery voice while helping her father lie back down with the help of her aunt.
"You can't sit up like that. You are still in the healing process. I already spoke with the doctor and he said you had a little fracture around your hip joint and considering the surgery they did years back it will take almost a week before you start sitting normally."
"A week!" The Senator's forehead furrowed. "But we have an urgent eting with the Senate foreign relations committee by next Tuesday. I can't miss..."
The senator choked on his saliva and started coughing.
"Take it easy, daddy." Alia signalled her aunt to help her get water.
When Alia got the bottle of water with a straw in it, she brought it close to her dad's lips and said, "Drink this."
With tears in his eyes from the choking cough, the senator nodded and sipped the water through the straw, while Alia lifted his head a little supporting it with a pillow.
"No more talking," Alia said sternly, blinking her lashes to push back her tears.
"But..."
"No but, either." Alia gave the bottle of water back to her aunt, before focusing on her dad.
"We will talk about your eting later and you do not have to be present physically to partake in that eting. Rest for now. The doctor will check on you in the morning."
The Senator let out a deep sigh.
"You need to rest too, my darling. You look really stressed."
"Don't worry about . I'll be fine. I'll sit beside your bed and rest my head on it, like before."
"That is not good enough." The senator shook his head. "You need to rest your back."
"Why don't you sleep on that couch?" Judith brought up her earlier suggestion again. "It's as comfy as a bed. You'll also be close to your father since you insist on staying in the sa room with him."
"I'm okay..."
"Just do it for , please..." The senator begged.
"What about you, Aunt Judith? Where will you lie down if I take your resting spot."
"Don't worry about . A chair is fine. Moreover, I'm not the one carrying a developing precious child in her womb. You and your baby need rest."
"Fine!" Alia rolled her eyes in frustration. "I'll rest. Now close your eyes Daddy and sleep. If you need anything, I'm just a call away."
"I love you so much, my precious angel." The senator's eyes lit up with imnse love.
"I love you too, Daddy." Alia pressed her lips on her father's forehead before reluctantly leaving his bedside.
When Blaze returned to check on his wife after first checking on his mother, it was already 3:00 AM. He t Eugene sleeping on one of the hallway benches in a seated position while Pascal remained vigilant.
After encouraging his cousin to return ho and rest properly, Blaze took Eugene's spot and kept watch with Pascal.
