Billionaire’s Ex-Wife & His Hidden Babies - Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Third Person’s POV
“Tell us, dad! Are we disturbing you?” Marcus asked this time.
He reached his hands near the cheeks of the twins and shook his head in NO. Now, he could relate that it was one of them who had used that card to buy toys. It was one of them who wanted to give a signal that he was there and was waiting for me.
It was his babies who were the reason that today, he was in this country, near Diana and his hidden babies. He tried to sit on the bed with difficulty. The Nurse reached forward to him to offer help. He stopped her by showing his hand and then opened his arms for his babies, who quickly ran into his arms.
He pressed his lips tightly to control the pain below the ribcage because he didn’t want to ruin this moment.
“I missed you so much, dad.”
“Me too, dad.”
“Now, we will never let you go on any type of adventure trip.”
“You will stay with us just like the parents of other kids.”
All these years, Brandon wanted to die, and for the time when he didn’t want to die. He could sense that the pain he was constantly feeling wasn’t some random pain.
“Is everything fine, doctor?” Diana asked even though that nurse had given her a slight idea that everything wasn’t fine.
“No.”, He said bluntly and looked at Bruce. “You are?”
“I’m Brandon’s best friend, Bruce Collin.”
“Best friend? So, I believe, unlike his Ex-wife, you would know that he was on a suicide mission?”
“Yes, doctor.”
“Since when has he been drinking?”
“The night since his Ex-wife left him, in short, approx, four and half years OR around it. I don’t remember the exact tell the date.”, Bruce replied, and Diana looked at him in shock. And then Maddie, who nodded her head, silently telling her that ‘she would sense truth from his mouth.’
“Oh! Interesting. It seems like he loved his Ex-wife ….”, The doctor looked at Diana before continuing. “… a lot. Please don’t mind me asking, but he loved her so much; then why didn’t they patch up or even let her go in the first place?”
“He let her go, but he was an idiot, and they never patched up because, until the 1st of January, i.e., the day before yesterday, he used to think that his ex-wife killed herself by drowning in the river. Since this news was from one of the trusted resources, he believed it. That’s why he was living all these lives in regret and …..”
“Tried to kill himself multiple, didn’t he?”, The doctor asked, but Bruce didn’t answer him. “Well, you don’t need to answer that question. I have already seen multiple scars of injuries.”, he answered on his own. At the same time, everything was too much for Diana. All these years, she blamed him for Katie’s death, but today she came to know she wasn’t the only one who was blaming him. He, too, was doing the same and to the extent that he tried to kill him not once but multiple times.
‘Did we mean that much in his life?’, She thought.
“Anyways, if you want, you can congratulate your friend, and now he is successful in his plan. His both kidneys have been failed.”
“WHAT?” Diana screamed in horror. This was the worst than that nurse had told her.
“Yes, Ms. Chambers. As for now, we can do a small surgery for that he could have regular dialysis but let me warn you that the chance of cardiac death is very high in patients undergoing dialysis. There is an option for a kidney transplant as well but seeing his drinking habits, I doubt that he could survive for long even after a kidney transplant because his kidney would fail again.”, He said bluntly without any remorse, but then the doctors had to keep their emotions away from the patients and patient’s family because they would suffer the most in case of death of their patients.
“Who the hell are you to say assume that kidney transplant procedure won’t work on him? What do you think of yourself? A God?” Diana screamed, slamming her hand on this desk and standing up on her feet.
Maddie knew that after screaming, she would start crying.
“You are not GOD for your kind information. So, better stop your nonsense theory with you. Did you get that clear?”
“Diana…” Maddie tried to calm her down.
“What, Diana, huh?” Diana asked Maddie this time. “He should focus on finding a donor for Brandon instead of saying that the kidney transplant thing is not for Brandon. I thought he was a Nephrologist, but no, he started giving the lecture like an astrologer. Nothing will happen to Brandon. Nothing.”, She yelled for the last time before dashing out of the cabin. Maddie, too glared at the doctor before following Diana.
“I’m sorry, doctor, she…” Bruce started speaking but was cut off in between.
“It’s fine. I did that on purpose.”, The doctor said with a smiling face. “Congratulation, your friend’s Ex-wife still loves your friend.” he paused before continuing, “And congratulation again because nothing is going to happen to your friend anytime soon.”
“But you just said that….”
“Don’t focus on my words. Did you see the determination in her eyes? I doubt that she will even let your friend anywhere Alcohol.”
“But it looks like you didn’t hear me properly; they are no more together.”
“But you also mentioned that your friend never got a chance to patch up with his EX-wife because he thought that she was dead, which she is not.”, The doctor pointed out. “See, I’m just a doctor. I can prescribe medicine and perform the operation, but there are a few other things that are dependent on patients or people around them, like taking precautions, following the diet, positive vibes, support, love, and care. The rest of the things are handled by GOD, and just like Ms. Chambers said, I’m no GOD.”
Bruce chuckled, nodding his head, “It seems like you’re kind of interested in love stories.”
“Yeah! Because I had repeated a similar mistake just like your best friend, but thankfully, years later, things worked out between my ex-wife and me, and we again came closer because of our child. I won’t say everyone deserves a second chance, but something second chance is worth it because the person who caused you the extreme pain can only heal it.”
