Let’s Rewrite Our Love Story, Ms Summer Frost

Chapter 98

Xander Hughes:

I drove recklessly into the hospital worriedly, and pulled over roughly at the parking lot. I advanced toward the entrance door once I alighted from the car, and by the time I got to the floor where Mom was admitted, I was stunned to find Lisa sitting along the walkway with her face. buried between her palms.

I had gotten a call earlier from the doctor that Mom’s health was deteriorating.

“Lisa…” I walked up to her, and she rose to her feet and sighed.

“Good thing you are here–”

“Is everything alright? Have you been able to see Mom? Is she ok? What did the doctor say? Have you seen him?” I bombarded her with questions, and she slowly nodded.

“He said that her health got worsen. She has been put under life control machine for now, but he is not sure if she’ll be fine this time without surgery,” Tears welled up in her eyes as she held her gaze low.

“Don’t cry. Everything will be fine,” I wasn’t sure of that assurance because even I was scared, but I had to be strong as her older brother. She would be broken and might lose all hope if I was down also, so i had to pull myself together.

“You don’t have to cry,” I pulled her into my arms and embraced her warmly.

“Are you sure Mom will be fine? I’m scared, Xander. I’m really scared,” Tears poured down her cheeks once she pulled away from me and looked me straight in the eyes.

“Hmm,” I only nodded and forced a smile, trying hard not to break down also. Acting tough and pulling myself together while bleeding inside was really hurting me, but sadly, there was nothing I could do about it.

“Trust me… She will,” I felt guilty for lying to her, but I had to.

“I’ll be back. I want to go see the doctor,” I patted her shoulder before leaving. I paused along the walkway once I arrived at the front of the emergency room where I saw my Mom lying helplessly on the bed with her eyes closed and an Oxygen tank over her face while the machine beside her was beeping slowly. From the readings in the machine, her pulse was low but she was still breathing.

“I’m not going to allow you to die, I promise,” I had no idea how I was going to go about this, but I knew I really had to.

Brushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I proceeded toward the doctor’s office and arrived in no time. I was ushered in, and his smile welcomed me

“Xander… It’s been a while,”

“Hmm… It’s been a while,” I forced a smile as I sat on the empty chair across from him,

“How is the health status of my mom, Henry? I leaned forward and looked him straight in the eyes.

“I won’t lie to you…” He paused then sighed and reclined on the chair. “It’s not any better,” His reply made my heart skip a beat, and as the

thought of losing her flashed through my mind for a split second, I shrieked mentally.

“Is there anything that can be done?”

“Surgery,” Was his only reply.

62%

“Is there any other surgeon we can reach out to?” I didn’t want to pressure Summer about this. I didn’t want her to think that I brought her to stay with me in order to cajole her into doing this.

“There are many surgeons out there, Xander…” He paused, and I leaned forward, waiting to hear the rest while hoping whatever he had to say to me would favor me.

“But we need to get this right just once as it’s the only chance we have. If it fails this time, then you might lose your Mom, and the only person I trust to do a good job and get this right once, is that Ms. Summer,” His reply left my heart broken, but I slowly nodded, regardless.

“I will find a way around it. Thank you,” I stood up and left his office.

“What did the doctor say? Did he say Mom will be fine?” Lisa hurried up to me as soon as I stepped out of the doctor’s office, and bombarded me with questions

“Hmm… The doctor said she’ll be fine,” I forced a smile, and she breathed out in relief.

“That’s a relief. I’m so happy. I was losing my mind earlier,” She smiled excitedly.

We stayed at the hospital for a few more minutes before leaving.
