you.”
“No mom, I’m lucky to have her. She ’s truly an Angel in my life. I’ve been feeling so helpless not being able to fix this nightmare. I can finally do something to help her.” Mrs. Rutherford stepped up to him and hugged her son. She knew he needed it badly. He’d been trying to be so strong for everyone else and in this moment she wanted to pour into him some of her love and strength. He held on tightly to his mother. Before long Mr. Rutherford wrapped his arms around the both of them before speaking “We’ll get through this…..all of us.”
The moment was interrupted when Jason received a phone call from his personal assistant. He stepped away from his parents before clearing his throat. “I’ve got to take this”. After one final squeeze of his hand from his mother, his parents left the waiting room so Jason could take the call. “What’s up Janice? Is everything all set for the press conference?”
“Yes, Mr. Rutherford. Everything is all set. The press has been put on notice and everyone is eager to know what it’s all about. I have confirmed just about everyone’s attendance. Also, the hair and make-up people should be there within the next hour. You and Vicky’s wardrobe should be delivered within the next half an hour as well. Oh…and Mr. Rutherford, I am so sorry about Angel. I’m praying for her. I have a feeling she’s going to be alright.”
“Thanks Janice. I’m going to hold on to that hope. Make sure you keep the phone handy so if I need you I can get in touch.”
“No problem. I’ll make sure I’m available.”
Jason disconnect ed the call. Jason really didn’t want to go through with this press conference but they were only 2 hours away from their deadline and they still hadn’t heard from Ryan Carter. If he didn’t come through, Jason didn’t know what he’d do if he ever came face to face with the man.
Franklin and Sandy made it back to the hospital. They hadn’t talked much but held hands on the ride. Both were deep in thought trying to sort out their feelings about what just happened between them. Was that love making session a stress reliever or was it more? Well, for right now, whatever was going on between them would have to wait. In this moment, their jobs were to support Jason and Vicky as well as pray for a miracle.
They knocked before entering the hospital room. Jason’s parents and Vicky’s aunt acknowledged them as they entered. Vicky was still in the same position she was before they’d left several hours earlier. Hovering over her daughter and holding her tiny little hand. The scene was just so heartbreaking that Sandy felt a tear slip down her cheek. The room was so quiet. All you could hear were the chirps and beeps of the machines and the pump and pull of the respirator. Then there were the nurses. They were checking Angel’s vitals and making notes on their clip boards after looking at the machines. Sandy wasn’t a rocket scientist but you didn’t have to be to understand that things had gotten worse since they’d left. The situation was looking even dire by the moment.
There was a small knock on the door. Franklin walked back over to the door to open it. He was surprised at who stood on the other side of it. It was Alicia Carter. John and Miriam looked shocked to see her but stood up and held hope that Ryan Carter was here as well. However, Vicky’s back was to her new visitor. She had no idea Alicia had flown in using a friend’s private jet. Ryan had taken the company’s private jet and had not left a flight plan behind.
Alicia was shocked at what she saw before her. She wasn’t prepared to walk into the hospital room and see that poor little baby in such a state. She knew she was a bitch but even her heart was touched. “Excuse me, Ms. Martin?”
Vicky slowly turned around to come face to face with the wife of her
