Eleanor decided to visit her brother before she left. Freshening up, she went to the dining hall. She didn't see Aiden there. From butler, she heard he went out. She thought it was weird but didn't comment on it.
"Uncle Eric, I am going to visit a brother. If dad comes, tell him," Eleanor said before leaving.
"Okay," he said.
Eleanor drove to the hospital and went to his ward directly.
"Brother, do you know? I am pregnant. You are going to become an uncle. Isn't this happy news?" Eleanor started her talk.
"Brother, will you raise me and my child, if Cedric turns out the same old person? You know what he said…." she continued. She continued to say the whole story to him.
"Brother, I thought I understood him well. But now I am afraid If I forgive him, what if he turns out the same? For the sake of protecting me put me and our child in danger. I don't understand why his friends and a few others feel I need to forgive him.
"But again, he repented his mistakes, atleast for now. Should I get back to him? After all, everyone deserves a second chance. He did many things for me and for our family too. I think he should be given a second chance. Maybe it's time for us to get back. No matter how loving I am, there would be a situation where he wants a father." she said.
There was a silence in the room. She held his right hand and caressed it. She didn't notice how his left-hand fingers.
"Brother, I want to talk to you. Why don't you wake up? I really want you to be there for me," she said.
"There are many times, where I missed you. Do you know? Myna got over you. She is dating Brother Valene. You know what… Brother Valene takes care of me well, just like you. He helped me a lot with many things that concerned Cedric. Now, I got another brother called Oliver. I am getting many brothers except you." she said.
"If I get the one who got you into the accident, I will make him regret his whole life," she said with hatred.
"Brother, don't worry. It won't take long to get that person. We found a lead to the person who made you like this. The truck driver said he was bribed by someone to do this. That man said the one who bribed him is from Astoria. If I get the address, I will fly there directly and will deal with him," Eleanor said with pure hatred.
Eleanor stayed there for a while.
"Ok, Brother. I hope, at Atleast by the time, I return from the trip, you will be awake. And everyone must be waiting for me. I will take my leave then," she said and left.
After she left, the machines in the room started beeping with a loud noise alerting the doctors and nurses. The tears streamed out from Martin's eyes endlessly.

Eleanor spent quite a lot of time in the hospital. When she rushed she saw her father in her room, instructing the maid to put a few things.
"Eleanor, you are back. I bought some new coats, scarves, gloves, socks, shoes and a few clothes with a help of a friend. She even said that these clothes would fit you well. Since you are pregnant, these anti-radiation clothes would be best for you. Also, it would be best for baby," he said.
"But… dad, I already packed things for myself. These things would be too heavy for me to carry," Eleanor said.
"Don't worry. I will accompany you to the airport. And from then… there are three men, they will carry the suitcases for you," Aiden said.
"What do you mean?" she asks feeling a bit doubtful at her dad. She wondered if he called all the three men and asked them to take care of her. Even if he did, she won't be surprised.
"Dad, it's time. I shall start going after lunch. Will you join me at least now?" she asked him.
Aiden nodded. Eleanor and Aiden had a talk while having their lunch. After lunch, Aiden and Eleanor went to the airport.
"I am glad, you took your personal plane. This way Eleanor will have rest," Aiden said to Oliver with a smile.
"Yeah. There is a room on the plane. Eleanor can sleep if she wants to," Oliver said.
"That's great. Take care of her," Aiden said again.
"Dad, I am getting a doubt with everyone's behavior now. Did you call them behind my back!?" Eleanor asked through her narrowed eyes. Aiden gulped the lump in his throat.
"Oh, My god! You are getting late. Go go go…." he ushered them.
"So, you called everyone last night and ruined their sleep!" Eleanor yelled at him.
"Just go. We can talk later," he said and ran off to a safe distance. Eleanor was speechless at his actions. She gave a warning to him that she would settle scores with him when she returned.
Aiden waved his hand to her as he yelled a 'take care' to her. Eleanor waved her hand to him from a distance before she disappeared. Aiden got the feeling the first time he sent his daughter to school. Maybe he was thinking too much. He left when she disappeared.
Maybe he should go to the hospital and talk with his son. He wondered how he was doing recently. After he returned from Arrowglen, he didn't visit him. He directly drove to the hospital. For some reason, his heart wasn't calm. The closer he went to the hospital, the harder his heart continued to beat.
Something was wrong.
He couldn't pinpoint what was wrong but his heart was restless.
Reaching the hospital, he held his heart tightly and walked to the ward. Maybe, he didn't have much rest. He took a deep breath and calmed his nerves. But the moment he neared the ward, his heart burst in fear.. There were doctors and nurses running here and there. What happened?
