They had all been tense during the time the surgery was taking place, they hoped and prayed with all their heart that nothing would go wrong. Even though they had had several cases similar to this and had done this sort of surgery millions of times, the fact it is still Alexander's wife that they were taking care of made it seem like it was a difficult case they had never encountered before.
A wrong step would lead to the wrong answer and a wrong answer would set the man off, who knows? He might end up closing down their hospital.
They had made sure that their best doctors were in attendance and got her the best room.
'You may go and see her now," He said and Alexander nodded, his face blank and expressionless. It made the man wonder if he was really worried for his wife.
He considers it none of his business, so he went on his way as soon as Alexander picked up the kid that was asleep on the couch and walked to the room his wife was kept in.
'He is really worried about his wife, I want a sweet man like him," one of the female doctors fawned as they went on their way. All of them had relaxed as soon as they were out of the man's view.
'How do you know that? He had that resting bitch face throughout, no anxiety or nervousness, he didn't even glance at the nurse as they rushed about," A male doctor replied.
'The fact that he is sitting there, not going to continue making cash as expected of a man with great wealth like himself is a fact that shows how much he cares glaringly," the female doctor replied. 'What use is being anxious, a big waste of energy if you ask me."
Alexander closed the room quietly behind him and went to drop Andrea on the couch.
He went over to the bed when he had settled the girl down comfortably.
Sapphire was sleeping on the bed with a peaceful expression on her face and he stared at every inch of it with great attention. He was overwhelmed with great relief when the doctor finally told him that she isn't in danger, he had no idea what he would do if something terrible were to happen to her, he didn't even want to think about the chances.
He moved closer to her and pushed the hair away from her face, staring at her beautiful and flawless skin, color returning to her face which had become pale earlier when they got to the hospital.
He bent down a bit and dropped a kiss on her forehead, he only straightened because his phone rang, and he checked it and saw that it was Zayn that was calling.
'What?" He asked simply.
'Andrew had been kidnapped by Heather," He said straightforwardly and Alexander paused with furrowed brows.
'What?" He seethed angrily, had Sebastian and Sheila been able to get the kids when they were dealing with Oliver.
Some men had gone after them but judging by the time and no response, it is most likely that they had lost them.
'Heather was the one that kidnapped her," Zayn explained and Alexander was a bit confused.
'I would get there soon and we would have an important talk but for now, find out their location."
'Alright, is Sapphire okay?" Zayn asked in worry.
'She is out of danger now," he said and disconnected the call.
'Is everything alright?" he heard a frail voice behind him and he turned to see Sapphire staring at him through weak eyes, he immediately rushed over to her.
'How are you feeling? Are you feeling hurt anywhere?"
'No, I am as good as someone in my condition could be, I just feel weak all over and got a mild headache," she replied with a feeble smile and he nodded in understanding. 'So who is that? Is something wrong?" She persisted, he paused for a second, contemplating between telling her or not before he shook his head.
'No, everything is alright. Zayn just called to ask about you."
'Oh," she said in realization and he nodded. 'I feel dizzy, the drugs must be kicking in again."
'Take a rest Sapphire, I will be there when you wake up," he told her and she nodded before closing her eyes and falling into a deep slumber.
'Where are you, Zayn?" He asked as soon as the call was connected.
'At your house, I am staying with Luci until Claire gets home. We are trying to get her here but the connection is not going through. Alyssa and Alicia are busy at work and the call wont connect it too because they had been instructed to shut down their phone.
'You stay there, I would be there in a bit.
He carried Andrea on his shoulder and got out of the room, and he entered the car, dropped her on the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and drove to the house.

Brielle stared at the mansion that looked like it had been turned upside down and shook her head in exasperation, is there something that Marylynne, her daughter and the lot of bunch could do perfectly? Sapphire had just let the maids go less than a week ago and the whole place looks like a mess that would take a while to reassemble. The maids were really the ones doing everything in the damn house.
They were right to get that from Sapphire, they were the one that poked her, the easy going woman who they forced to be fierce really wanted to have nothing to do with them all, she wanted to get revenge on them and she ought to but Brielle knew that the best kind of revenge that could ever work in Sapphire's case is if she at least got a happy home and a man who love her and accept her for who she is.
And she did. That was the best kind of revenge she could get on the likes of Marylynne, Melissa, Heather and Oliver, there is no way she is going to be gone for more than three years and have money that is enough to compare to the generations year old wealth of the Conrad family. Given the type of reputation she had, a man who loves her is her best bet.
Brielle smiled in amusement, her mother really thought about it very well before pushing Sapphire to get married to Alexander.
Sapphire getting a happy life after the way they messed her up is what irked them the most, which was why they wanted to trample her all over again and make her realize the place they thought is befitting of her in their head. It was too bad that the protective man she got married to won't allow that so he is getting in their face.
They finally provoked her to the utmost when they killed her grandmother, which made her stop showing them any mercy, there is obviously more to come.
Brielle paused when she saw Venita standing at the window that overlooked the pool and garden with an uneasy expression draped on her phone. You could tell that she was very tense because even though was walking quietly, she still didn't notice her standing there.
Brielle wondered what was up with this cousin of hers.
Her phone rang and she jumped, she visibly swallowed before picking up the call.
'Yes," She said. 'I would be able to get away now right? I am not interested in working with you again," Venita said, she paused and listened to whatever the person on the other side was saying.
'Fuck Paris, Fuck Doblin, Fuck Switzerland, I am not going to work anywhere like that anymore. I don't care if I am not able to make a comeback, I would be okay with anything as long as I don't get to work with you anymore!" She screamed, her face twisted in anger, a scowl resting comfortably on her lips, she listened to whatever the person she was talking to was saying with narrowed eyes.
'You know what? I am so done. Do anything you want to do, I am ready," she said and paused before barking out a sarcastic laughter. 'What more could you do? Consequences my ass. Everything would go downhill if someone found out by chance that I was the one that murdered my own grandmother, I signed a death certificate then and there, and your damn threats don't scare me! I have enough of it already, fuck off!" She yelled into the phone and turned, still angry, but the anger sizzled out of her when she saw Aunt Brielle standing there with eyes wide in shock and red in anger and disdain.
