Tears of Vengeance

Encountering His Father

I waited and waited.No words from the doctors yet.Just as I spotted a doctor coming out of the operation theatre.

"Doctor!" I said as I stood in front of him.

"How's Luke Vernon?" I asked.He started speaking in Russian.

"I-I don't speak Russian." I whispered.

"Oh,my apologies.Mr.Vernon's operation was successful.He will wake up when the sedatives start to wear off.Meanwhile,we will transfer him to the cabin."

"Is he doing fine now?" I asked.

"He is definitely doing better but sorry to say,we cannot say he is fine exactly." He said.

"Why ?"I asked in fear.

"He was shot with a sniper and people don't usually survive getting shot by a pistol let alone sniper but he has an extremely strongly built body so I think that will help him to recover." said the doctor.

"Okay thank you and one more thing! What about the expenses?" I asked because I sure as hell will not be able to pay for him.

"Miss, don't you know who he is?" He asked with a laugh.Definitely,he was the king of the country.

I nodded and the doctor walked away.

I waited for several hours.I had no idea about the time.He was brought inside a cabin.Unconscious and at peace.I didn't eat anything since this morning.I didn't have any money on me so I couldn't buy anything.If I go home to eat,who will take care of him?

I laid on the guest bed and watched him sleep peacefully.His mind was at peace now.He was sleeping with no tension or no fear.I smiled at him.I walked closer to him and did something I shouldn't have.I kissed his cold forehead and went back to the bed.It was almost 5 am in the morning.I watched the sun rise slowly.I was dying out of hunger.

A nurse came to check his blood pressure,pulse, oxygen, heartbeat and all the necessary things.

"Excuse me." I called her.

"Yes, miss?" She came closer to me.

"Can you manage some food for me? I will pay you back later." I said.

"You needn't pay.It's Mr.Vernon's hospital after all and you are his beloved woman.We respect you as much as we respect him." She said and left the cabin.That was a sudden thing and it was surprising.

After a while,the nurse arranged me some food.I thanked her and chewed onto the food hungrily.

The door opened slowly,which caught my attention.A man in his sixties entered the cabin.He was good-looking for his age.I immediately stood up and asked,"Who are you?"

I frowned angrily."I should be asking you this." He said as he walked towards Luke.

"No!" I screamed as I stood in front of him.

"You can't go near him unless you say who you are." I said in a threatening voice.

"Isn't it obvious? I am his father." He said.

"Father?Boris Smirnov I assume." I said.He nodded.I moved out of his way and let him see his son.After a while,he made himself comfortable and sat on the couch.

"So you are the girl everyone's talking about." said Boris.When I observed him carefully,he had that devilish vibes coming off of him.His hair was a combination of grey and black.It was combed nicely and his hair reached a bit upto his neck.He had cold,grey eyes unlike Luke's,whose eyes are dark brown.They looked the same except for the eyes.

"What girl?" I asked.

"The American girl who is staying with Luke." He smirked.I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well you an Luke seem pretty intimate." He said.

"What?!" I asked surprisingly just to realize that my hickeys were visible to everyone.

I thought of not speaking anymore because disrespecting Luke's father will be equal to disrespecting him.So I pushed aside the topic and finished eating.
