Chapter 745 Helping the Police

As a result, the leads that police got started surfacing everywhere.

“Mr. Gibson.”

To their utmost dismay, when the police came to the hospital, they found out that Melissa was still in a

coma. Listening to that, they shook their heads regretfully.

“Everything will be alright soon.”

One of the members of the investigating team tried to give

strength to Murray in that difficult time. But even after listening to those words of motivation, Murray

didn’t get up, he just sat there, looking at – Melissa, his wife lying there unconsciously.

“According to the information we had received from you last night, we have found some traces of Jacky

Knight. But for obvious reasons we still lack some strong evidence of his presence here. In order to get

them, we need your assistance. Hope you will cooperate with us.”

The policeman explained the whole situation to Murray and tried to reassure him that the investigating

team working on Melissa’s case was one of the most capable and reliable teams in the country.

“I beg to differ with you this time.”Almost without thinking, those harsh and stern words came out of

Murray’s mouth and he turned down the request of assistance to the police instantly. Almost twice he

was so near to losing Melissa and this time he couldn’t afford to repeat his mistake of leaving her

alone.

“Not by any freaking chance, I am going to leave her alone now.” He whispered that to himself.

The police officer shook his head disappointingly as it wasn’t the time to be emotional but to act

hurriedly and smartly. But after seeing Melissa’s condition, they found Murray’s act completely

reasonable.

After all, Melissa is his wife and no sane person can leave their wife alone in that sensitive condition,

rest alone, him.

“We understand and respect your decision. Wishing a sooner recovery to Ms. Melissa.”

The policeman mumbled and nodded, then they looked at the unconscious Melissa, and left quietly.

Early in the morning, Melissa finally got her consciousness back.

She looked at the familiar ceiling, blinked her eyes twice in reassurance but deep inside she was

feeling empty. Like something was missing inside her. She frowned at that strange feeling.

“Melissa.”

Murray called her name when he felt Melissa’s body squirming and moving away from him. He rubbed

his eyes while sitting up, and then found that Melissa woke up.

“You’re awake.” Murray let out a sigh of relief. That time he

realized that the face before him was tired yet smooth and it was deeply furrowed. Without a delay he

leaned in, held his breath so as not to let his tears out in front of him.

He went close to her, inhaled her scent and took Melissa in his arms, “Promise me that you will take

good care of yourself now.” Melissa stacked everything in her head, still the intent hearing continued.

Murray was constantly caressing her back. His heavy throat was undeniably giving her the idea of

events that had happened with her.

“It seems like I had fainted this time also.” Melissa thought and stumbled in her own world.

At that moment Murray tightened his hold around her like his whole world was dependent on that

moment. Meanwhile Melissa was filled with an air of comfort and triumph, “He was here when I needed

him.” a voice came from the back of her mind.

“I’m fine.”

Melissa finally spoke, then smiled softly and patted Murray on the shoulder.

“That’s good to hear,” Murray mumbled and a smile came to his face after seeing that curve adorned

her lips just as easily as breath came to him.

“It seems like you are very tired.” Melissa shook her head after seeing Murray’s disheveled condition

and then suddenly she remembered what happened that day.

“Have you caught him?” She keenly waited for his reply.

Listening to her, Murray instantly understood the context of her question. A hint of disappointment was

visible in his eyes and then he said in a slow tone,

“He ran very fast, and he was well prepared. That’s why he escaped and our people were not able to

catch him.” Melissa nodded her head in disappointment. As she knew that if Jacky would come again,

then he can do anything.

“Don’t worry! A few hours ago when you were sleeping, a police officer informed me that they found

some traces but unfortunately they aren’t strong evidence.”

Murray told her everything to which Melissa raised her eyebrow in anticipation..

“Then do they need any kind of assistance?”

Listening to Melissa’s words, Murray remembered how the police officer asked for his help and he

refused. But Melissa should not know this. He thought so after giving a long thought, he said in a low

tone, “No.”.

There was an instant change in the body language of Murray and that hesitation in his voice when he

didn’t look at him while saying and that was enough for Melissa to guess the actual situation.

“You have refused to cooperate, didn’t you?”

Murray was surprised to hear Melissa’s words but didn’t react.

Meanwhile Melissa knew that Murray was worried about her and he might not be ready to focus on

anything other than her.

She was understanding his dilemma but she had worked really hard in the case regarding Jacky Knight

and now she wasn’t ready to let him go so easily and after what he said to her last night then it was

kind of impossible for her.

“You know, it’s not about me alone,” Melissa paused and then continued, “He might have some

malicious thoughts regarding the company also, and I will not tolerate if anything will happen to Star

Entertainment.” Hearing this, Murray knew he couldn’t stop Melissa.

For now he decided to let it go and not to argue as Melissa was not in her best health. But when he

didn’t say anything, Melissa took a deep breath and then without a delay sent a message to the police

officer and agreed to assist them.

“Do you still want to sleep?”

Murray cleared his throat and tried to break that awkward silence.

His eyes were fixed at the moon and the sky outside the window. It was surreal and mesmerizing.

Melissa nodded, although she was not sleepy as she woke up a few hours ago, but when she saw how

tired Murray was while taking care of her, she decided to agree and laid back on the bed. “By the way,

you don’t need to worry about anything. Just take some rest.” Melissa mumbled.

Although it should be Murray to say those words, Melissa took the initiative first. Meanwhile Murray

understood that Melissa was trying to make him feel good and undoubtedly he also wanted to drag that

drab worry out of her gleaming emerald orbs.

“What are you looking at?” She broke the silence and then asked him when she observed his gaze

fixed at her,” Do you want to say something?”.

“Nothing except that I can’t stop worrying about you no matter what.” He sincerely spoke those words

and then he kissed her forehead. Then he leaned to the side and below, not knowing which side, right

or left, he cared less and slowly whispered in her ears, “And I can’t help it as I love you so much.”

A smile played on her lips when she heard that. Again, his lips lingered at her forehead but this time for

little longer and she closed her eyes subconsciously.

“I love you too,” She blushed.

Looking at her crimson red face, Murray had a sense of satisfaction.

But he instantly moved away and laughed, “Now don’t think much, close your eyes and sleep.”

Melissa slowly closed her eyes, the minutes passed, she still wasn’t able to sleep. Then she decided to

talk to Murray but the moment she was about to open her eyes, she heard sharp footsteps followed by

the doctor’s voice.

“Is Ms. Eugen asleep?”

It was almost midnight and she was wondering what the doctor was doing in their ward at that hour of

night.

That’s when Jacky’s words started echoing in her mind. “Why did he say that I am dying? Was he trying

to play with my sanity?” She wondered.

Everything was already making her puzzled and now the doctor’s visit was adding more into it.

Out of curiosity, Melissa pretended to be asleep and chose not to open her eyes. “Yes, she is.” Murray

answered him but his eyes were never leaving the sight of his wife. Then he knitted his eyebrows

together and turned his face towards the doctor and said in a questioning tone, “She will be alright

soon?” After hearing his words, the doctor cleared his throat with a worried expression, “I can’t promise

you anything for now. It’s still hard to say.”

The doctor sighed internal energy, and Melissa’s heart was a little shocked.

Those words brought a havoc of turmoil in Melissa’s heart. She was more than shocked after listening

to it. “Hard to say? What does it mean?”

Lots of questions started coming in her mind to which she probably had no answer except the fact that

Jacky’s words started making a little sense. Is it my disease…

“Am I tested with some chronic or life threatening disease.?

Melissa was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t realize that the doctor walked up to her. She closed

her eyes but her heart started pounding with the highest speed as she was afraid that they might not

discover that she was listening to their conversation.

The next second, the doctor grabbed her arm and started monitoring her vitals, especially her pulse

rate. Melissa secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If it was really like what Jacky said then why

didn’t Murray mention that before her and even now also he was willing to hide it from her. “All this time

I was scared of this only. now my fear is turning into reality and I certainly don’t want that.” The doctor

said while monitoring her pulse. “What do you mean?” Murray furrowned. “From the pulse, Her pulse is

dropping. This indicates that Mrs. happen

Gibson is weaker than before, I’m afraid that something worse will to her if she won’t take a good

amount of rest.” Hearing this, Melissa started to break down a bit. “No wonder I have started fainting

more frequently these days. Initially I thought it was because of overworking and for the reason that I

am not resting properly. But it turned out that I was seriously ill.”

“How can it be better?”

“There might be some way. Any special treatment or medicine or anything that can help her to recover.

Just tell me I can arrange anything for her. Just name it.”

Murray choked up on his words, he couldn’t believe that someone like Melissa who is always ready for

any battle is losing the battle of her life. “From the initial stage of treatment, it should have been taken

care of. In the past year, when the treatment was started you must have not ignored the instructions

and should have paid attention to the food and rest. In addition, it was your responsibility Mr. Murrayto

see whether your wife was eating well or not.”

Judging from the pulse just now, the doctor realized that Melissa had not taken her medicine properly

these days.

“If she would have taken her medicine on time then things would not be as bad as they are now.”

Doctor added further. Murray looked puzzled at his words but then he figured out that

Melissa was unconscious for the past few days so she wasn’t taking her original medicine, maybe

that’s the meaning behind the doctor’s words. He hunched his shoulders.

“Luckily she is in hospital right now and getting the required treatment otherwise her body has already

given up on her long back.” Doctor informed him.

Murray thought he knew everything but what he didn’t know was that Melissa wasn’t taking her

medicines.

She thought that her illness was not a serious problem and everything was happening due to

overworking and taking so many medicines everyday, was such a hard task for her.. Every time Murray

didn’t notice her, she used to throw pills away.

“In short you must keep one thing in your mind that Mrs. Gibson’s body is weak and now she can’t

tolerate any excursions. If she will faint again and again, it will have a bad impact on her and one more

mis carriagae will probably kill her.” Hearing this, Melissa began to stir a little.

It was because of the miscarriage that she started that treatment and now due to recurrent of these

health issues, now she was getting tortured by it again. “Now even her life is in danger.” Thinking of

this, Melissa’s heart trembled.

Melissa can’t help but feel a pang of heartache at the thought of her unborn child.

“Well, I’ll take good care of her.” Murray nodded and agreed.

Soon, the doctor did a full health examination of Melissa and told the nurses that the dressings of her

wounds should be timely changed to avoid any infection.

Suddenly, only Melissa and Murray were left in the room.

Melissa’s breathing was heavy, and the doctor’s words kept echoing in her head. Perhaps due to

physical and mental exhaustion, Melissa soon felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep…
