Oliver's POV
I was so happy to see Macy on the other side of the road waiting for me. I pulled my luggage and I walked faster across the street.
She was only a few steps away.
I saw her looked down to her phone.
Even with her pixie haircut, she still looked beautiful. Nothing has really changed. She even got more beautiful and I realized now that our son Basti looks like her.
Later today, whatever is the outcome, I'm going to see my kids.
I kept walking towards her then I felt something swift me and I fell quickly.
I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't. I could hear people yelling help. I think I blacked out for a minute. I got conscious again. Sh*t! Where's Macy?! Is she alright? I have to help her...
Then I felt someone's hand touching my head. It was very subtle and comforting.
I tried to move but I couldn't.
I heard Macy.
"It's okay baby... I'm here... I got you..."
Her voice were breaking. Is she alright? God I hope she is alright!
The last thing I remembered was I told her that I love her. I wanted to tell her more but I couldn't say anything. My whole body was numb.
It felt like I was being pulled into oblivion.
I tried to open my eyes again because I heard Macy was yelling at me to keep my eyes open. I swear I tried but I was really feeling sleepy that I just want to sleep.
"Stay with me baby... please stay with me... I love you!" Was the last thing I heard. I was very happy because Macy finally said she loves me. I wanted her to say it again.
I wanted to hear her say it again but then I really couldn't help it anymore so I closed my eyes and submitted myself to sleep.
Macy's POV
The ambulance came. They put a neck collar on Oliver and carefully lifted him up in the stretcher. I told them I was his wife so I was going with him in the ambulance.
One of the paramedics, started to cannulate him. While I was trying to find where was there hudson masks so I could give him oxygen. The paramedic looked at me. "I was a doctor." I informed him. Then he went back to what he was doing. I was getting annoyed because he couldn't find a vein and Oliver's blood pressure was slowly dropping. He needs IV fluids asap. So, I told the paramedic that I'd do it.
I opened a pair of gloves and opened another cannula set. I took a deep breath and inserted it. It wasn't that hard! I don't know why he couldn't do it! I gave the paramedic an annoyed look. Then the paramedic started the IV drip.
"So what kind of doctor are you?" He wanted to start a conversation.
"Neurosurgery." I sparingly answered. I heard Oliver groaned. I quickly held his hand.
"It's okay baby... I'm here just relax..." Oliver's pulse was very frantic I just wished we arrived at the hospital soon.
While at the ambulance, I called the hospital and asked for Todds. I must be very lucky because she was there. I told her what happened and asked to get a trauma bed ready. And I asked her to let me in the triage room. She said no but I begged her. I told her I won't do anything, I just want to hold Oliver's hand.
I can't stay at the waiting room. There's no way that I'll survive waiting at the waiting room!I have to be there to make sure Oliver is alright.
The ambulance ride felt like forever. When we arrived, Todds and some doctors were ready to receive us.
The doctor checked Oliver's pupil. Then Oliver was taken to the triage room.
"I know that you want to help Oliver but you have to let the doctors do their job okay?" Todds reminded me.
Then the heart monitor started to start beeping frantically.
"Code blue!!!"
Oliver was having a cardiac arrest...
I walked to the side of the triage room to give the people space to do their job. Todds started chest compressions.
Please god please... give him back to me... please God.
I was crying and silently praying.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
Ten.
...
Thirty.
Then someone put an ambu bag on Oliver's face to give him air.
Then another 30 compressions.
Todds and another nurse did the compression 3 times when the heart monitor started beeping again.
I was silently crying on the corner of the triage room.
They have managed to stabilize Oliver then they transported him to imaging for an emergency CT scan.
They found out that he had swelling on his brain and he had broken his left clavicle.
One of the doctors said that he needs to get operated straight away. I signed all the consent forms. Then I looked at Todds.
"I know what you are thinking but no. I won't let you in the operating room." She snapped at me.
"Todds please I want to scrub in. I need to be there." I begged her.
"No. You can't. I will let you see the surgery but there's no way that I am letting you in my operating room." Todds firmly told me. Then she walked away.
They took Oliver to the operating room straight away. As my clothes had blood everywhere, I asked for a disposable hospital scrubs. I quickly cleaned up and changed.
I was looking at the window of the operating room where Oliver was lying unconscious in the operating table. Dr. Chand was going to do a craniectomy to relieve the swelling on Oliver's brain.
They will use a mechanical saw to slice his head and open a part of his skull to relieve the increasing pressure of his brain to prevent any brain damage.
My phone rang, it was my dad.
Me: dad...
Reagan: I know Oliver will be alright. He has got you.
Me: I don't know what to do dad... I can't lose him.
Reagan: Oliver will be alright. Don't worry about the kids okay?
Me: thank you dad.
I was crying. I can't lose Oliver. I haven't even introduced him to our children. He needs to live for them!
The surgery took a while so I managed to contact Oliver's family. They told me they were coming straight away. I told them not to rush as he was still in the operating room.
I called Loise.
Loise: hello friend. What's up?
Me: Loise, your brother had an accident.
Loise: oh my god! Is he alright?
Loise was starting to panic and cry. I told her to calm down and that I was with Oliver. And he is being operated on while I was talking to her. Loise said that she was flying back as soon as she can.
After I finished calling the family, I called John.
John: hello?
Me: hello John it's me Macy.
John: I'm sorry about what happened Mrs. Crowne.
Me: I am too. Listen, I need you to handle the company while Oliver can't.
John: no problem Mrs. Crowne.
I keep thinking who else should I call. I didn't realized the surgery was already done. I could see Dr. Chand bandaging Oliver's head.
Todds came out of the operating room.
"The surgery went well but we are not yet out of the woods." She informed me.
She also said that she called ICU to get a bed ready for Oliver. But while waiting, Oliver was gonna stay at the operating room while someone was constantly monitoring him.
"Can I come in?" I asked.
"Wait 'til everyone has finished then you can." Todds told me.
I stayed looking at Oliver in the window. I couldn't make out his face as it was all swollen. He had an ET tube on his mouth and his whole head was bandaged.
He would be out for a while as Dr. Chand was going to induced him on a coma until the swelling on his brain improves.
I thanked everyone who was involved with the surgery. And once there was only the anaesthetist left, I went inside the operating room.
I held Oliver's hand. 'Well done baby..." I whispered on his ear.
