Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 541: Something important of yours!

541 Something important of yours!

Seeing the way Elina was shocked, Dr. Nelson realized his mistake.

He turned towards her and said,

"I am sorry. I am extremely sorry. I don't know why I took this all out on you when you had absolutely nothing to do in this."

"Ermm... It's OK. Happens. I get it, it must be tough for you, and I am really thankful that you have handled in such a matured way. In a way she is lucky to have amazing people who like her."

And saying that Elina finally was able to get up from her seat as she was able to feel her legs again.

"Please sit. Else I would bear that remorse till my deathbed." he said with guilt-ridden eyes and Elina just couldn't dodge the request.

She thought for a moment and then decided to change the topic because she could clearly see how painful this whole episode had become for him. So she asked,

"Have you shifted all your stuff to London?"

"Well yeah, did that a week back."

"I see. Planning for long term at London?"

"Yes. As of now I will be joining a hospital and a couple of months later will start taking a few classes there as a visiting faculty as well."

"Sounds swell. Looks like you have your career plan sorted out!" Elina said and gave out a soft smile looking at him but in the next moment she blurted out,

"By the way do you know Vikram also liked her since long. Akira had told that he had become very possessive and caused a lot of problems for her too."

"After 2 weeks when all this work is over, I will finally go back to New York and meet her and Raymond. Had it been any other girl, they would have run?a series of tantrum, but she understands my profession well. She didn't even say a word because she already knew how bad I was feeling for missing out on her wedding.

"Boy! Raymond is so lucky to have her."

"They both are lucky to have each other Elina. They are like the two faces of a coin. Without each other, they are incomplete," and saying that he slowly turned the ring on his finger, reminiscing the wedding vows that he had taken.

And then suddenly he heard a familiar voice in his head, just like how he had heard when he was hiding behind the tree trunk at the wedding venue.

"It's all right Jaby!"

"I forgive you!"

.

.

"Alita?" he mumbled.

"What?" questioned Elina as he heard him mumble sitting next to her.

"Nothing! It just felt like... Nothing," he replied, but he quickly turned around for a cursory glance all around him.

It was going to be a long painful flight.

[In a hospital in New York]

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He could smell Betadine in the air and turned to one side to see the humidifier in action. Then he turned to the other side and his body shivered. Sitting next to his bed on the other side was none other than Sebastian Walker,

"Are ... Are you out of prison?" he exclaimed in panic as he saw that old man whose eyes were still as fiery as he could remember, A term behind the bars had rendered him a bit weak, but that man was no ordinary man. He possessed the nerves of steel and the shrewdness of a wolf.

"Well that I am! Just a few hours before" he replied and crinkled his nose slightly.

'Then he must not have got to know about the wedding incident!' thought Vikram and forgetting the pain in his head, forgetting the numbness in his limbs, he propped himself up on the bed and asked,

"To what do I owe this visit?"

"Well nothing much. You had been a dear ally of mine before, so when I heard about your condition, I thought I would pay a visit and..."

But his statement was interrupted by the visiting doctor.

"How are you feeling Mr. Vikram? I guess after today you might want to take a sabbatical from drinking."

Vikram gave out a fake laugh and as there were no policemen around he could guess that nothing about the wedding incident had been disclosed, and he let out a breath of relief.

"Ermm... was my assistant here?"

"Yes, he had come but..." replied the nurse accompanying the doctor but Sebastian interrupted and said,

"I asked that poor guy to go back home. He looked way too tired taking care of you!"

And upon hearing his words and the look on his face Vikram could sense that it was nothing but a bad omen. So all that he could utter out of his mouth was a deluded mumble and a faint nod of his head.

Pleased with his recover the doctor left the room and so did the nurse after checking his vitals. Eerie silence prevailed in the room. It was so silent that Vikram could hear the sound of the second's hand on the wall clock.

"Why are you here Sebastian?" asked Vikram, coming straight to the point.

"Well, just wanted to know, what happened to you?"

"Like you heard, overdose of alcohol and slip and viola... here I am!"

"I see," muttered Sebastian and Vikram could see that he didn't look pleased. He slowly opened the pouch that he had next to his seat and took out a gun. The same gun which Vikram had used at the wedding venue.

"I believe you left something important of yours!"
