Chapter 145 - Seven Years

Then she annoyingly answered her call, "Sam it better be something important or else..."

"Check your mail, we are one of the shortlists for the Carlson Project." He happily announced.

"Do we have to leave now for Italy to meet Jessica?" she asked in annoyance unaffected by the good news.

"Umm no, we are supposed to meet her on Thursday." Sam got confused with her question and didn't sense the sarcasm.

"So you could have shared this information, tomorrow morning too?"

"Yeah but I was so excited so I messaged you right away but you didn't respond so I called."

Rachel looked very angry and was about to scold Sam but Daniel softly caressed her cheeks and signaled her to let it go.

"Fine, don't you ever disturb me after office hours from next time onward."

Saying this she cut the call and Sam wondered what he did wrong.

"I didn't know my girlfriend looks this cute when she is angry" Daniel smiled seeing her reaction, she was still angry with Sam for ruining their time.

"When he would ask me for a leave, I am not going to approve it" She shared her revenge plans for Sam.

Daniel again laughed at her, "I also didn't know my girlfriend holds grudges"

He kissed her again.

Then they wore their t-shirts and just lied down to sleep.

Both of them were lying now facing each other.

"When you didn't reply to that message, I really freaked out." She finally told him how much she got scared.

"There can be no textual reply to your message, I had to come here to answer your question in person."

After Daniel read that message he immediately grabbed his car keys and drove to her home, he drove at a very high speed so was able to reach in thirty minutes.

"Next time don't drive so fast." She warned him.

"Yes boss" He kissed her on the forehead.

"How did you manage to climb over the gallery, weren't there bodyguards everywhere."

"Yeah, I informed them your grandpa wanted me to come like this so they let me." He added, "Your balcony is just on the first floor so I was able to easily climb up."

"I can't believe a doctor is so good at climbing buildings." Rachel ran her fingers on his firm chest.

Daniel gulped and was not sure how to respond to her statement.

He just kissed her as it was the better way to respond.

After making out for some time the two decided to sleep.

Daniel was planning to leave when Rachel insisted he sleep with her and who was he to reject when she herself was suggesting they be together.

So he too slept with her and the next day, the three grandpas went to The Eminent club early in the morning so there was no one at home.

Rachel asked her housekeepers to bring breakfast to her room, she collected the breakfast tray herself so the housekeepers too didn't know Daniel was here, after breakfast and freshening up, Rachel managed to sneak out Daniel in secret and the two left for their work.

Rachel first dropped him off at his house as it was near to her office and went to her workplace and Daniel went to his house to change his clothes and then he headed to the hospital.

It was a normal day for everyone, Daniel had surgeries scheduled throughout the week so he, his interns and colleagues were working on it.

Rachel tried her best to not snap at Sam for interrupting her and Daniel's time last night and he informed her that they need to go to Milan on Thursday to meet Jessica so she asked him to book tickets for the two of them and wondered how to discuss about it with her grandpa as he might be reluctant to let her travel, so she decided to delay the discussion with him and continued working on her other projects.

Patrick reached a dead end as there was no other information on the case and was worried about his colleague who was struggling between life and death.

Jimmy was having the time of his life, during his office hours he was managing other projects and was also focusing on the Tanaka project, if he was having any troubles, he was consulting Rachel on it who was patiently guiding him through it and during the later part of the day he was continuing his rehearsals and this is how he spent the next few days.

The husband was weeping and was looking at his wife who was in the state of coma and was lying on the bed.

For the last seven years she has been lying here but since the past two days her blood pressure was constantly falling low.

If she would have been treated in a hospital, there were higher chances of her recovering and getting back on her feet but they were locked here by a psycho, who got all the necessary equipment to keep the woman alive.

And the current setting she was living in was not enough, she needs to be properly monitored under a doctor's care but the husband was helpless as they have been locked in here for many years, seven years back when he and his wife tried to run away their plan failed and the psycho who kidnapped them tried to kill him but his wife came in between to protect him and ended up in this state.

He got used to her being in this state for seven years but in the last two days, the machines attached to her were showing signs of her being in danger, he was not a doctor so he didn't understand what was happening but he knew it was not good news and his wife's condition was getting worse.

He cried as he was helpless and couldn't even protect the love of his life.

Just then a man dressed in black suit entered the room, he looked the same age as this husband and wife, he was accompanied by two other people. 

The three men approached the bed.

One of them was his secretary, he was in his forties and has been a loyal servant to this man, the husband and wife knew him as he too was involved in kidnapping them. 

But the third guy who accompanied them was new, the husband saw him for the first time, he was thin and six feet in height with good physique, he looked in early thirties and looked like a doctor.

The husband hopefully looked at the doctor, he was hoping his wife would be treated now and she would be fine soon.

On one side he wanted to ask the doctor for help and wanted to inform him in signals that they are kidnapped but right now his wife's health was more important than to run away so he kept quiet and let the man in black suit do all the talking.

"Doctor, please check her thoroughly, her blood pressure started dropping suddenly, please check what is wrong with her." The man in black suit anxiously spoke.

One could see the genuine concern he had for the woman lying on the bed.

The doctor sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere he was in but he was here to check on this patient so he decided to do his duty.

"May I see her reports?"

"There are no reports." The husband answered him indifferently while not moving his eyes from his wife.

"Can someone update me on her situation at least?" The doctor's doubts were being confirmed, something here was indeed fishy.

The man in black suit was about to speak but the husband interrupted him, "Seven years back she fell into a coma and since then she has been lying like this. We have been feeding her food and water artificially."

"If that's the case, why is she not in a hospital?" The doctor asked in concern.

"You do your job instead of giving suggestions which anyone can give." The man in black suit coldly answered him.

The doctor got scared and gulped in fear as the man in black suit looked very scary.

He checked the patient's pulse and then using the blood pressure machine he carried with him, he checked her and informed them her blood pressure is indeed low and it is not normal and recommended they take her to a hospital immediately for treatment.

The man in black suit looked worried, it was obvious what he was thinking.

On one hand he wanted to save the woman he loves but on the other hand he knows, once he takes them to a public place, there is a good chance that the husband would ask people for help and they will escape from his clutches.

The husband who was observing the man in black suit finally spoke up, "I promise you, I won't alert the people around us, I'll be silent and will stay calm, please treat my wife, please don't let her die."
