23 Waking Up (1/2)
VINCE's POV
I was recalling everything that happened today. I have my own regrets. If I didn't let her go home alone, this accident will not happen. It's all my fault.
”Bro!” It was Edward.
”Oh, you're here.” I was shocked when he suddenly came.
”How is she?”
”Well, for now, her life isn't in danger. But we don't know for sure. We can verify everything as soon as she wakes up.”
”Well, that's good for now, considering how her car looked like.” Ed said and hands me 2 envelopes.
”The other one is the latest report about the accident and while the other contains her past. But before we talk about that…. How are you?”
”Me?! I'm perfectly fine.” I look at him so confused by his question. Why is he asking me when obviously nothing is wrong with me.
”Physically yes but emotionallyI don't think you are doing well.”
”WHA….”
”You're blaming yourself for what had happened to her, right?”
I took a deep breath and look at him intently. Why can't I hide anything from him? Am I like an open book? He really knows me well which is why I want him as my right hand.
”Yeah… You can say that.”
”Bro, it's not your fault. As you want to take things slowly, you can't impose to have someone guarding her. And it was an accident.”
”Was it really an accident, Ed?”
”What do you mean?”
”The doctor said that based on her x-ray result, this was not her first time to encounter an accident which is why the doctor is more cautious about her case.”
”Does it…?”
”Yes. Everything that happened are too convenient to be considered an accident.”
”So….”
”Can you elaborate first what happened today?”
”Okay. So, let's start first with what happened based on the bystanders.”
Ed began his report as I listened to his every explanation. I found it difficult to believe that Yve will not notice that the traffic light turned red which meant for her to stop her car. I was thinking that maybe her car was tampered to begin with, so I asked Ed,
”What about her car?”
”I know what you're thinking. But as of the moment, it is still under investigation. The police said that it might take awhile though. I gave my contact number and told them to call me as soon as there are new development with regards to the case.”
”How about the truck driver's statement and other evidence?”
”Well, everything coincides with the witnesses. Yvory's saving grace would be if her car is tampered.” I nodded at what Ed was explaining.
”But no one was injured aside from her?”
”Well, the truck driver had small bruises but after thorough tests everything was fine.”
”Okay, that's good.”
”Now, how about her past? What happened to her?”
I was very curious on what happened to her and I really want to know. Even if I promised myself that I would wait for her to tell me the truth but I just can't. Not with all the things that are happening now. I hope Yve will forgive me.
”Hmmmmm…..”
I looked at Yve and noticed that she is tilting her head left and right so I walk closer to her and hold her hand.
”Yve, Yve?” I called her name.
”Hmmmm…” Was her only response.
A few moments later, she opened her eyes and wants to sit when she lost her balance and lied down on her bed again. She was touching her forehead.
”Are you okay, Yve?”
