Chapter 411 - Living Proof Of Miracles

Alex rushed to the hospital as soon as Ben called him. He left the meeting with a big-time client when he received the call about the accident. 

He did not care about losing the project. What he cared about was making sure that Dani was safe. She would always be his priority.

"How is she?" He immediately asked Ben as soon as he saw him in the lobby. But Ben did not have the details since the hospital would only release patient information to family members.

He quickly moved towards the information desk, demanding to see and know the condition of his fiance. Then, one of the doctors recognized him and assisted him with the information.

He even accompanied him towards the floor and the room she occupied while waiting for her test results. The doctor explained to Alex what she had gone through due to the accident. 

He had nothing to fear because the doctors were doing their best for her quick recovery. They would know more of her condition once the doctor handling her case had the results.

"Ben, I need you to tell the police what you saw during the accident." He ordered Ben, who had followed closely behind him.

Then, he instructed another of his men to keep watch by the door.

"Thanks, Doc," Alex said to the doctor, leaving him behind the hallway as he walked straight into her room.

He found her laying down on the bed, immobile and fast asleep. With the bandages and bruises covering her body, she looked very fragile in her condition.

It was a state that he was not used to seeing her in. She was usually energetic and capable of handling herself. But in her weakened form, she looked helpless and defenseless.

"Dani." He called to her in a gentle voice, hoping that she would respond to him. But, she did not move or even twitch.

He sat down on the available chair beside her bed and pulled it towards her so he could be closer. He held her hand in his and planted a kiss on her palm.

He did not want to wake her up, but at the same time, he wanted to see her beautiful eyes staring back at him. He wanted to hear her voice, telling him, reassuring him that she was going to be ok.

A soft knock on the door made him look up from his position. He was not worried for their safety since he had two of his best men guarding the outside door. Then several of his men scattered around the hospital premises.

"Mr. Princeton, or should I address you as Prince." A man with a particular maturity on his age approached him with a friendly smile. "I am Dr. Eddie Dewey, Chief of Surgery. I will be handling the case of your fiance together with my most reliable doctors."

The man introduced himself and the other medical staff, who had been treating Dani. He had heard about this controversial patient and decided to keep it under control.

It would be a matter of time before the media found out about the accident. Then, they would be running a complete madhouse outside the building and in their lobbies.

"Alex is fine." He informed the surgeon, a bit concerned about his presence in her room. "How is she?" He asked impatiently, not particularly in the mood for any idle chitchats.

"She had sustained quite a lot of minor injuries. But we are still observing her head concussion. The CT scan showed no detectable injuries or abnormalities in her brain." The doctor told him.

"That is good to hear." He released a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor's diagnosis. "When will she wake up? What about her recovery?" He had millions of questions, but he was still afraid to ask them all.

He had been worried since he heard about her accident. Various worse scenarios had played in his mind on his way to the hospital.

He heard about the carnage of cars that piled up on the street on the news as he was driving. He had conjured the image of Dani with bandages all over her body, broken bones, and an unrecognizable face covered in blood.

"We still want to perform an MRI. It is only for precautionary measure, Alex." The doctor moved towards her bed to check on her vital signs and looked at her charts.

"Is there something else that you are not telling me?" Alex could sense that the doctor was still weighing his options.

He was trying to be cautious in what he had to say, which only alarmed him more. He would not be acting in that manner if there was nothing wrong with his fiance.

"Can we discuss this outside?" The doctor invited Alex outside of her room to discuss their initial findings a little bit further. "You see, we did not see any significant injury in her head to cause any permanent damage to her brain function. But, we will need a few more days to observe her behavior once she returns to her consciousness." Dr. Dewey explained more about her current condition.

They did observe earlier her disorientation from the head trauma. Although it should not cause alarm, they still would like to be thorough. 

Their patient was no ordinary personality after all. She was the daughter of one of their most generous contributor in the hospital and the future wife of the head of the biggest company in the state.

Such high-profile patients needed extra attention, whether they liked it or not. They had to make sure that they only provided high-quality care to them.

"What do you mean by behavior? And when will she regain her consciousness?" He wished he could be more patient, but as of now, it was one of his best qualities that were quickly wearing thin.

"It could be anytime now or later. Be patient. Daniella is trying to recover, and sleep is one of her best allies as of now." The doctor informed him.

He wished there was more that they could do, but he was just a doctor, not a miracle worker.. But he still considered what happened to his patient as living proof of miracles still happening.
