Can You Mend My Broken Heart?-Chapter 476: Gaping wound

But Oshana wasn't dumb. She could clearly see how the previous episode was affecting him. She had a typical polar equation with Dr. Nelson, but deep down she knew that he was a man with a golden heart and it was difficult for her to see him getting affected like this. No matter how much he denied, she knew that he had a soft corner for Akira even though he knew that she was never going to be his, to begin with.

Wanting to end the awkward silence that had crept in, she said,

"So much happened today. I have no idea how all of them are handling this."

"Hm..."

"I mean I had met Raymond a couple of times before, but I never knew that he was so capable of going behind his own dad. Well, technically not his dad."

"Yeah."

"And like you had instructed, I didn't give any memory suppressant to Raymond. I am not that evil as you have imagined me to be in your head. I hope I have shown my loyalty to you."

"No."

"No?"

Dr. Oshana exclaimed in surprise.

"No was for the not picturing you as evil part."

Dr. Nelson replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, ok."

And then silence prevailed again till they reached Dr. Oshana's house.

"There you go. Thanks for all the help today and I sincerely hope that in the future our paths don't cross. And even if they do, let's not have any bitterness in between us. What happened, let it rest in the past. I will not be bothering you anytime in the future."

Dr. Nelson spoke in a very robotic and formal way which Dr. Oshana found very demeaning but she knew that she deserved every bit of it. He was not even looking at her, as he said those words. He was still looking to the front as if he wanted to flee the moment she set her foot out of his car.

So without saying anything further, Dr. Oshana unlocked the car door and stepped out. And true to her thinking, he sped through, the moment she closed the door. Drinking away that insult, Dr. Oshana took a deep breath and then started walking towards her door but her steps halted when she heard a screeching sound. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Panic started to immerse her heart as she saw Dr. Nelson's car rammed through a tree close to the pavement. Without even caring about her heels, she ran towards the car which was a few meters away from her. The airbags had been deployed, but his head had crashed onto the window pane.

He was still breathing and semi-conscious and was mouthing some words. Dr. Oshana bent her head to go close to his mouth to hear what he was speaking. But she could hear only some faint and frail noises,

"Ali.."

"Forgive me ..."

"Ali.."

But as a doctor, she knew that it was not the right time to waste her energy in figuring out what he was speaking, and she immediately opened the first aid compartment and tried to press the gaping wound with all the gauze that she could find to stop any bleeding before the ambulance arrived.

She called up even the hospital where Dr. Nelson worked to figure out the contact details of anyone from his family, but she couldn't find any. for a moment she thought of calling and informing Akira, but something selfish inside her stopped her from doing so. She wanted to take care of him by herself. Now all that she could do was to wait for the ambulance to arrive.

"Do you have any insurance to cover you up? I mean insurance for any such unfortunate events? You have locked in so much money for this hospital Kat."

"I didn't even think in the wildest of my dreams that such a thing could happen. The insurance was pretty expensive and so I didn't opt for it."

Hearing her words Raymond started pacing up and down in the room, unable to understand what he could do to stop Vikram.

Akira looked at their worried faces for a while and then got up and said.

"It's all happening because of me, so I will rectify it."

"What do you mean Akira?"

"I mean that I am going to talk to him, Raymond. If he has enmity against me, then he should harm me and not others. If anyone has to face the consequences, then that should be me. I can't see Katherine and her dream taking a hit because of my actions."

"Your actions? Since when you and I have become separated Akira. We did this together, so we will handle it together."

"No Raymond. for just this once let me handle it."

"What are you going to do Akira? Beg him?"

Raymond asked furiously because he was unsettled by the fact that Akira wanted to face that monster alone.

"Beg him? Seriously Raymond? You think I will ever beg in front of him after all that he has done to us?"

"Then what and how you are going to handle this? Tell me."

Taking a deep breath Akira opened her purse. There was an envelope inside her purse. The same envelope that she had been guarding for quite some time. Taking out that envelope, Akira paused for a moment and then said,

"Read this."
