Chapter 237 - William, You Are Alive

"Oh, is that what happened!" Michael nodded his head in understanding. 

"How can he be this busy, useless grandson I have." Anthony again scolded Daniel.

"No grandpa, he was busy with his patient, you can't be upset with him for saving someone's life" Rachel came to his rescue.

"Yeah but how could he not give you time at all" Catherine too was upset as they all had hopes of hearing the good news of Daniel and Rachel dating each other so that soon they can plan their wedding.

Just then Daniel arrived there and when Catherine saw him, she got very angry and stepped towards her son to scold him but then she saw something so shocking, she froze in her steps with her eyes wide open.

Everyone in the living room saw what Catherine saw and they all stood up from their seats in shock.

Jimmy and Jessica had no idea what was happening there and why everyone looked like they were in a stupor.

Rachel too was surprised at what she saw.

There was an aged man standing next to Daniel. Rachel recognized this man as Daniel's patient's husband, she wondered what he was doing here at her home and she didn't understand why everyone around her looked like a thunderbolt striked them.

Everybody was still standing there astounded when a few people suddenly entered the home, carrying a body carefully on a stretcher and there was a glass shield around it to not let the environment around affect the patient.

These people looked like hospital male nurses.

"Where should we take her?" One of the male nurses asked.

Catherine, who was standing closest to these people, shouted in shock when she saw the patient's face and ran towards the stretcher.

"How is she?" Catherine questioned in panic.

"She is fine but she is in a coma right now." William stepped towards his friend and answered her.

"There is a bedroom, to the right, take her there" William instructed the male nurses who walked in the direction William instructed them.

Rachel was surprised that this man knew the location of the bedroom in her house.

The male nurses placed the patient on bed and properly set all the machines that were supposed to be connected to her body and once they were done, they left informing Daniel that they would send a nurse to take care of her.

"Thank you so much"

Those people left after Daniel thanked them and the whole family was still in shock trying to process what was happening.

They waited for these male nurses to leave so no one said a word.

After those nurses left, Harry was the first one to step forward, "William, you are alive" He said the words which were going on in everyone's minds.

Rachel was shocked with what Harry just said, she wondered did she hear anything wrong.

Her dad was dead and Harry was now addressing someone else with her dad's name.

After William and Liz's death, James hid all their photos and albums in the storage as the happy memories they once spent turned sour for him after losing his whole family except for Rachel.

Rachel wished to look at her parents' old pictures but she didn't want to upset her grandpa so she never did.

She clearly didn't remember their faces as she was very young when they apparently died. She did mention this to Catherine once. 

So, Rachel was shocked right now hearing her father's name.

"William, you are alive."

"I am, Harry" William had tears in his eyes seeing Harry and the two friends tightly hugged each other without wasting another second.

Harry cried hugging William and William too was so emotional he continued crying.

These two were very close, so it was understandable.

After William's death, Harry felt like a part of him died with his best friend but now seeing him standing in front of him, Harry couldn't control his emotions and cried.

Daniel and Jimmy for the first time saw their father cry and they felt emotional. 

Catherine who witnessed this cried seeing William as she still couldn't understand if this was all true or it was a dream.

After a few minutes, Harry let him go and wiped tears off his eyes.

"What is happening William? Where were you all these years if you were alive? And what was with Liz, you said she is in a coma, how did that happen? And how…"

"Harry, calm down, I'll explain everything" William promised, trying to calm down his friend.

William then looked at Catherine who was silently crying.

Smiling, Will stepped towards the beautiful woman, "Hey Cat, missed me?" He asked her and Catherine tightly hugged him in response, "You bastard, every second I missed you. How could you be alive and stay away from us? What were you thinking?" Catherine scolded him between her tears but tightly hugged him as if it was a dream and she felt if she didn't hold onto him then he might vanish from there and she would have to wake up from this dream.

William laughed hearing her questions and stroked her head, "You maintained yourself very well Cat, you look like Daniel's elder sister and Harry's daughter" He praised her, while teasing Harry.

Harry chuckled hearing his words and everyone there smiled, Catherine too laughed at what he said as her friend didn't change a bit. 

William wiped her tears, then he stepped towards Anthony, "How are you uncle?"

"Fit as always" Anthony answered in between his tears and William then went to Michael, "Uncle Mike, are you finally married or still single?" 

Michael wiped away his tears as it had been so long since he had been addressed as 'Uncle Mike' as after William's death there was no one to address him like that.

"Still single and enjoying my bachelorhood" Michael proudly said, William chuckled as his uncle didn't change at all.

William was walking towards Rachel and in between he was greeting everyone he was coming across
