Chapter 51 - Betrayed you?

It was Leo who drove him to the hospital, as Tim's entire being was shaking, and he felt the word around him spinning around, making him feel dizzy. 

He was all silent all through the journey. When he arrived at his mother's hospital ward, he couldn't believe his eyes. He had met her father at the entrance and he claimed she was just out of surgery.

His father has tried to hold him back so he wouldn't enter but Leo hold the man off him and urge Tim to go in.

Even though he lost his parents, the memory of the last moment before their death was always treasured deeply, as they were laughing happily in the car before the accident, so he believes no matter what, Tim should be beside his mother.

Tim look at his mother and tears rolled down his face. His beautiful and strong mother was lying weak with half of her body bandaged, her forehead was bandaged. 

Also her waist down to her leg was neatly bandaged, making each of her leg look doubled in size.

He knelt down and cried as he felt his heart broke, he has rushed past his father and rushed in, but now he couldn't even go near.

"Sir, you can't be here." a nurse rushed in and asked Tim to wait outside, which he did since he couldn't go near anyway. He had remained on his knees crying while looking at his mother pitiful state.

The nurse accompanied Tim outside the ward and close the door behind him, but that is after she assured him that she would notify them when the patient wakes up.

"What's up? how is she?" Leo walks up to him and ask worriedly.

Tim was in a daze and couldn't reply, Leo understand immediately that the condition he met her must be critical, so he hugged his shoulder and console him.

About an hour or so later, the door to the ward open and the nurse came out.

The three of them rush over to her with anticipation filled eyes.

"Which one of you is Timothy?" she asked.

"I'm the one," Tim replied, his heart racing wildly, while fear kept squeezing his heart.

"The patient ask for you," the nurse said.

Atrhur also spoke up, "I'm her husband, I will like to see her as well."

"I'm sorry sir, she said to not let anyone  in aside from her son Timothy." the nurse said.

"I'm not just anyone, I just told you I'm her husband." Arthur was getting furious now.

"Let's respect her wish." Leo held him back again, while Tim and the nurse headed in.

Immediately Juliana laid her eyes on her son, she burst into tears. "Mom!" Tim exclaimed and rushed to her side.

"Timothy! your father, he... he...." she couldn't complete her sentence before breaking down again.

"Mom calm down," Tim said as he saw how she is struggling to complete her sentence, but he didn't imagine anything out of the ordinary since he believes his father is more like a perfect man. He thinks his mother is worried about her husband seeing her like this. 

His thoughts were so pure that when his mother later complete her sentence, he felt like a big slap was thrown at his face.

Tim was awestruck by the revelation, "what? betray you?" he questioned in disbelieving before looking at his mom from head to toe, "Is... is that why... you got into an accident?" Tim asked, stammering.

After she had asked her assistant to leave her then, she has summoned the courage and called her husband.

"Hello Arthur." Juliana said.

"What's wrong honey, your voice seem different," her husband said.

She felt her heart hurt. This is her husband, her husband who detect if any changes occur in her voice, on her body, probably on her everything.

She always believe he wouldn't even have the time to inspect another woman, based on his full attention on her everything. 

"You had two kids with another woman." Instead of asking if, she decided to say it as a matter of fact, but a part of her wish he would deny it. 

Arthur went quiet for a few seconds before, "you knew?" he asked.

Tears rolled down on her face as she heard her husband's reply.
