"Ian." Noah's panicked filled voice broke the awkward conversation between Hailey and Aria.
"Ian, take a look at Grandpa. There's sothing wrong with him. Please see what's wrong."
Ian did not even wait for Noah to complete before he dashed towards the ward with Aria right behind him.
"Please stay here. Let us handle the matter." Aria stopped Noah and the others from entering the ward and intervene with the work. Even if Noah was against it, he did not speak a word and stood outside obediently.
"Please take care of him." He pleaded with her as he watched Ian check his Grandpa from where he was.
"We will do our best, Noah. I promise." This ti, Aria did not sugarcoat her words and spoke like a doctor. Noah was already back to normal and there was no use to give him any false assurances. He could handle the truth well.
Noah and his family waited outside the ward for a long ti as they watched the nurses running back and forth every few monts. However, none of them answered their questions, nor did they stop to give them any updates.
Seconds ticked by as slowly as a tortoise and to the Carter family, it was the most agonizing ti of their lives. Not only did they have their hearts almost bursting out of their chests, but they were also losing their minds gradually, especially Noah.
'Grandpa, please, please, please. Please, fight for us. Your grandson is waiting for you to wake up and demand him to give you great-grandchildren. How can you leave before you play with my kids?' Noah prayed with all his might and begged for the last ti. 'I am sorry for all that I said, Grandpa. Please just wake up and I promise, I'll never doubt you ever. Just please.'
Even his family mbers were praying silently and the air around them was so lancholic and serious that Ronnie who had just returned with so food for everyone stopped in his place. He had no idea what had happened. But he was smart enough to not intervene and speak at such a critical ti. So, he just stayed in his place and watched patiently.
Finally, after a long wait, Ian and Aria left the ward and this ti, there were smiles on their faces, unlike the previous tis outside the operating theater when their expressions were grave.
"Ian, Aria, how's Grandpa? Please tell he is alright." Noah rushed to them once again and looked at the two hopefully. Their smiles of relief sohow ignited hope in Noah and his family.
"Relax, Noah. We have good news for you." Aria was all smiles and she skipped towards Noah. "Grandpa showed signs of recovery and it will not be wrong before he wakes up."
To the Carters, Aria's words were like honey. They were the words of the Almighty and for a mont, everyone went blank.
"Does that an Grandpa is out of danger?" Rachel was the first to break the silence and the others waited for either of the two doctors to answer them.
"Although Grandpa Carter's condition is critical, he is out of danger. But we still have to keep him under observation for two days in case of any complications." Ian answered her and this ti, the Carter family showed visible reactions. They were filled with joy, excitent and most important of all, relief.
Tears of sadness turned into tears of happiness and relief and Noah imdiately hugged Aria, tight, squeezing her with all his might but not to the extent of harming her in any way.
"Thank you, Aria. Thank you, Ian. Thank you so much."
"Finally, I'm eting the man I fell in love with. Where was he hiding all this ti? I was missing him." Aria's words elicited bursts of laughter from the people around her. Even Noah could help but chuckle and he kissed her hair lightly.
"I was here all this ti, darling. You were ignorant of it. That's all." Noah too ca back strongly and Rachel rolled her eyes in dismay.
"Damn these two. They started feeding us dog food. How disgusting!! Get a room you two. I do not want to start puking and end up becoming a patient here. I dislike hospitals the most. No offense, Aria, Ian." She scolded without caring about anything.
"None taken," Aria replied with a smile and Ian agreed with a smile.
"Mom, Dad, let's leave from here. Otherwise, we might end up stuffing ourselves with dog food. Ian, may we see Grandpa?" Rachel then turned her attention to her parents, who were watching the drama in amusent.
Ian choked on his laughter when Rachel dragged him into the conversation all of a sudden and it took him a few seconds to recover. "Umm...Rachel. You may not et him right now. He is under serious observation. Please wait for a few hours. You'll be able to et him then."
"That's fine then. I'm going to leave now. I'm sleepy. I'll co back after I have revitalized myself. Grandpa will kill if he sees this . I resemble nothing less than a patient." Rachel patted her cheeks to emphasize her words. "Mom, Dad, are you coming with ? Anyway, there's nothing for us to do here."
"Mom, Dad, please take so rest. I'll be here. You guys must be exhausted. Please go ho. I'll inform you if there is anything." Noah added.
"But..."
"He's right, Hailey. Noah will take care of Dad and with Ian and Aria around, we have nothing to worry about. We should probably return ho and rest too. Otherwise, Dad will not be happy if he sees us this way. We look haggard and unbelievably bad. Let's go too." Samuel assured her and Hailey eventually agreed, albeit reluctantly.
"Call if there's sothing urgent. Otherwise, don't even dare. I am exhausted and I need to catch up on my beauty sleep. I'm leaving now." Rachel waved her wrist and walked away, leaving Noah, Aria and Ian chuckling at her antics.
