Revenge After Divorce Novel by Black Rose

OLIVIA

The moment I heard that scream something in me moved. I knew something was wrong with my son and I had to go there and save him. By the time I got there, Nick’s sister was kneeling over him blowing air into his mouth. I pushed her aside and checked on my son. His breathing was laboured as if something was blocking his airway.

I called Nick for him to call for help. Then they started fighting right in front of us. I didn’t care who did what at that time, all I needed was for my son to be alright. Everything else I could deal with after he was taken care of, and I knew he was alright.

His sister might have done something to him, or it just happened. Children. get sick all the time and we could not blame people for that. “Olivia, she was alone with him. Samuel was fine when she wasn’t here then all of a sudden, he is turning blue and struggling to breathe?”

“Nick, I am warning you. stop.” That was his father, by this time his sister was crying. I was about to say something, but I heard sirens then I picked up my son and ran past them going to the front door. Nick got there first opening the door for us and we met the paramedic at the door.

They took him from me and ran to the ambulance with him. Nick and I followed. We were holding hands as they worked on him putting tubes on him and whatnot. I was so scared that I was going to lose him that nothing else mattered.

“He is stable now; do you want to ride with us to the hospital?” I quickly nodded and got in. Nick got in as well. “Take him to Jones memorial. I will call ahead.” The paramedics nodded and left. “Will he be alright?” I asked the one sitting at the back with us checking on Samuel.

“I can’t say mam, but he is stable right now. Mind telling me what happened?” he asked, and I shook my head. “He wasn’t with me; he was with his sister, and she said they were playing and then he struggled to breathe.” The man nodded.

Nick was done with the call to the hospital and by the time we got there. A team of doctors was already waiting for us. By the time the ambulance. stopped the doors were opened and my son was taken away in seconds.

By the time we got out of the ambulance they were already inside with him. I ran after them, but they stopped me telling me I could not go any further. Nick got to me and held me from behind and that was when I broke down. crying.

“Shhhh, he is going to be alright; he is in good hands.” He held me tight and kept repeating that. “This shouldn’t have happened Nick, you shouldn’t have taken him. maybe this wouldn’t have happened.” He didn’t say a word and kept holding me.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

His parents and sister came in at that moment. Nick let go of me and charge. to his sister. His father blocked his way preventing him from getting to his daughter. “Nick, stop what you are doing, you should be focusing on your son right now and not this.” I went and sat on the chair ignoring them.

His mother came and sat next to me. “I am sorry Olivia; the doctors will save him, and we will find out what happened to him. if she had something to do with this, then we are going to make her pay.”

“Do not pour fuel to the fire, we don’t know what happened and this is my daughter you are talking about.” Nick’s father said taking his daughter’s side. “And this is our grandson we are talking about, if she did something to him, then I will make her pay James. You can fight me if you want but I will not let this go.”

Mother was pissed glaring at father. “Mother is right, we don’t know

anything about your daughter, we just met her and if she did something to my son then I will not let it go father.” Father looked at his family then asked for his daughter to leave with him.

“If you go now James, don’t come back and I don’t want to see you in my house.” Mother threatened. “Are you giving me an ultimatum?” father asked shocked by his wife’s words. I never wanted any of this to happen. These people loved each other but ever since they got me out of jail. It has been one thing after the other.

“Take it however you want James. But mark my words, if you go with her, take her side without her being cleared of any wrongdoing. You don’t come back to my house.” Nick just stood there saying nothing while his parent’s marriage was falling apart.

“Enough! We don’t know what happened yet. Let us wait for the doctor.” I said now tired of listening to them bickering. They kept quiet but glaring at each other from time to time. Nick and his mother sat by my side. While father and his daughter sat further away from us but in the same waiting room.

After what felt like forever, the doctor appeared. We all stood up and met him halfway. “I am pleased to say the boy will be fine, but we would like to keep him overnight for observation.” I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. My son was going to be alright and that was all that mattered.

“Doctor, what cause this?” asked Nick. The doctors sighed. “We don’t know yet, we have done some tests and waiting for results but for now nothing is jumping out. It’s like it never happened, it’s strange. We ordered plenty of tests to figure it out.”

That was strange. How could a child just struggle to breathe like that and turn blue and the doctors see nothing? “Can I see him?” I asked. “Yes, he is awake.” He led the way while the others follow. “You, I don’t want you. anywhere near him.” Nick said to his sister. “Then I will also wait here.” His father said. “Do whatever you want dad.”
