I'M THE LEAD

Chapter 41: It cannot be true

Liam's head was down, I don't know what was on the man's mind. His burly hand grasped Eleanor's delicate hand, hoping that the woman would move her hand immediately or just open her eyes, giving a sign that her condition was better.

“El, I miss you so much. It hurts to see you like this, open your eyes baby, please.” Please Liam to Eleanor, but all that is heard is the noise of the various tools that sustain Eleanor's life in this room.

“I miss you so much, I miss your cooking, I miss sleeping together on our soft bed, and I miss your nagging.” Liam kissed Eleanor's hand with a tube, and he would always wait for Eleanor.

“Why will mom open her eyes? Cessa misses mama,” said Cessa made Liam realize that there is Cessa beside her.

“Mama will soon wake up dear, papa also misses mama,” replied Liam hugging Cessa who is now crying softly.

“Cessa, you have to go to school baby. After coming home from school we will come here again,” said Anna made Cessa nod her head, at first Cessa did not want to go to school but her mom must be sad because Cessa ignored the school.

“Good Oma.”

“Papa, Cessa leaves for school yes.” Cessa kisses Liam's cheek.

“Iya darling.”

Seconds by second passed, Liam's position was still the same as before. Liam got up from the seat on Eleanor's bed, he walked over to the window, just wanting to see the city from Eleanor's room, he had to wait patiently for Eleanor.

“Wait for your death Angel.” Liam smiled slanted considering the vile treatment Angel did to Eleanor and her future baby.

After being satisfied, Liam again occupied the chair beside Eleanor's bed quietly. Just then Liam saw the movement of Eleanor's hand, Eleanor's finger moved slowly. Liam convinced himself that this was not a fantasy.

“El, did you just move your finger?” Liam asked with a feeling of pleasure, but he panicked a little, he was afraid if it was just his imagination.

Liam moved closer to Eleanor's body, his hands touching Eleanor's hair, exploring Eleanor's pale face with her eyes still closed.

“Can you hear me El?” Liam clasped Eleanor's hand, it no longer moved.

“Eleanor.” Liam whispered softly beside Eleanor's ear, though part of Eleanor's face was covered by an oxygen mask, but Liam could still see Eleanor's beautiful face.

Liam looked at Eleanor's face, which was when Eleanor's eyes slowly opened, and Eleanor's hands moved with certainty.

“El, can you see me dear, can you hear me?” Liam asked Eleanor questions, Liam felt like she wanted to shed tears when she realized that if this was not her imagination, her woman opened her eyes and moved both hands.

But Eleanor spoke only a thousand languages, as her woman was still adjusting to her current state, and she had long since gone into a coma.

“Thank you El, you have opened your eyes and you still recognize me, I miss so much, I am afraid to lose you El,” Liam said softly, he hugged Eleanor gently afraid that her embrace would make Eleanor feel pain.

Liam's glassy eyes he couldn't help his current happy feelings.

“Liams. Drink.” Liam took off his embrace, then looked into Eleanor's eyes, his eyes looking faint. His outstretched hand took the white water that was on top of the nightstand.

Liam helps Eleanor remove the oxygen mask and helps her drink water.

“Aghh.” Eleanor's voice sounded like she was in pain as she finished drinking a glass of water.

“Is anyone sick El, do I need to call a doctor?” Liam looks very panicked, his eyes probed Eleanor's body at this time, he was afraid if what happened with Eleanor.

“No, no need Liam,” replied Eleanor with her thin smile, though she felt pain yet Eleanor still forced a hint of her smile to reply to Liam's words.

“I'm so happy to see you re-open your eyes and give that sweet smile to me El, do you know, I'm always waiting for you, waiting for you to open El's eyes. I miss you so much.” Liam embraced Eleanor's body again slowly, Liam forgot that Eleanor would soon ask about their future baby.

“Thank you always by my side Liam.” Eleanor returned Liam's embrace, though it was a little difficult because her hands were still connected by the infusion hose.

Long enough they hugged each other, letting go of each other. Eleanor opened her voice which made Liam take off their arms.

“Liam, what.“ Eleanor said paused she was thinking what she wanted to say. While Liam the man seemed to understand what Eleanor wanted to say.

Eleanor loosened her embrace towards Liam, suddenly she remembered the incident that befell her a while ago. He recalled how that person oppressed him so vilely, and heartless. At that time Eleanor tried to protect her womb, but the kick was very strong, until now she did not know whether the content can be saved or not. Eleanor could not imagine what if she had to lose her first pregnancy, her first child-to-be along with Liam the person Eleanor loved and cared for.

Eleanor looked at Liam with a serious look.

“Liam, is he okay?” Eleanor asked hopefully anxious, worried about the answer Liam would give.

Eleanor clasped Liam's hand very tightly, she was very afraid to hear Liam's reply. While Liam, the man who was in front of Eleanor, immediately froze instantly, Liam's body seemed tense, and he seemed to be thinking of something, but Liam immediately returned his body to become a rilex, he did not want to make Eleanor suspicious, although Liam's answer would later make Eleanor feel sad and disappointed.

“El, you'd better rest, I'll call the doctor to check on you.” Liam tried to buy time, he was about to stand up and walk to call the doctor, but Eleanor first blocked Liam's hand. Liam isn't ready to tell Eleanor right now, because Eleanor's state just came out of a coma.
