Chapter 142 No signs of rejection
Jonathan woke up groggily feeling a bit out of it and in a lot of pain.
He grunted as he looked around. He could see that he was in an HDU and his son was in the next bed.
He made some noise to attract attention and Doctor Cox came inside immediately.
Henry was spending time with the kids as the others were still looking for Liliana.
Doctor Cox moved some of the tubes attached to Jonathan making it easier for him to breathe normally.
He dabbed his lips with water but gave him only a small sip for his parched throat.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Then he began to look at all the vitals again and asked him about how he was feeling.
When they were done, Jonathan finally asked, “How is my son doing?”
Doctor Cox smiled as he glanced at the boy in the next bed and said, “His vitals are normal. There’s no sign of rejection yet. We will know more when he wakes up and he would have to be in close observation for the next three weeks before we clear him out. So far, all signs are promising.”
“That’s a relief. I will ring the bell when he wakes up. When can I be discharged?” Jonathan asked.
“After 5 days at the earliest. We need to monitor your vitals closely as well.” Doctor Cox replied.
“Thank you, Doctor! How are my wife and my kids doing?” Jonathan asked.
“They are doing fine. The kids are quite sensible. I will prepare them to visit you after some time. You still need some uninterrupted rest,” Doctor Cox replied gently.
“Thank you! Please tell Lil, not to worry too much.” Jonathan said with a yawn.
Due to the effects of the drug he fell asleep again.
The next time Jonathan woke up when he faintly heard Li groan.
He rang the bell and Doctor Brown showed up within a minute.
Jonathan watched as Doctor Brown adjusted the monitors for Li and talked to him.
He heaved a sigh after knowing his son was doing well.
But Jonathan intuitively thought something was wrong. For one Henry was nowhere to be seen and Liliana would not have stayed away. Granted there were hospital protocols to follow, but she owned the hospital.
He did not reveal anything in front of his son and watched him go to sleep. Only after he had heard Li’s even breathing, he pressed the bell again and asked for Henry.
Henry came to the HDU knowing full well what Jonathan wanted to ask. His wife was missing and it was only right that he knew about it.
Henry went inside with a high-definition mobile bed and transferred Jonathan to it as he pushed him towards another room. They did not want to risk Li finding out.
Jonathan suspected something was up as soon as Henry showed up like that. Moreover, the kids looked somber and Joyanna’s eyes welled up as soon as she saw him.
Joyanna ran towards Jonathan, but Kyle held her back.
“Daddy Nathan is injured. Hug him from the side and lightly only.”
Kyle still remembered what Liliana had told them earlier on how to hug and stay close to Jonathan and Nathaniel for the next month.
Joyanna nodded and slowly walked up to Jonathan and she hugged him lightly. Jonathan pulled her towards another side and made her sit on the bed resting her head on his shoulders.
Kyle sat on the bed close to his legs.
“What happened?” He asked no one in particular.
“Mommy has been kidnapped. Grandpa Andrew as well.” Kyle was the one who broke the silence.
Jonathan looked around and everyone nodded to indicate that it was indeed the truth.
Jonathan breathed heavily to suppress his anger.
How could she get kidnapped from the hospital?
