Ep. 4

(At the Blair's Villa)

Waking up to the ring of her phone, Mrs. Blair looked at the screen worriedly, as Dr. Wright, Mrs. Blair's old friend from university was calling her early in the morning.

"Good morning Leah... is something wrong?" she asked.

"No, I just went to check on Flora and saw Abel sleeping in the room she is staying at."

"What?... Thank you so much Leah for calling me. He hasn't been home ever since things happened. I'll be there in a while. Please don't wake him up, I don't want him to disappear again" she asked of Dr. Wright, hurrying out of bed and getting ready.

"Honey, wake up" she shook her husband's arm.

Mr. Blair looked up. "What's going on?"

"Leah called me. Abel is at the hospital with Flora, I'm going there."

"Finally he shows up. Bring him home, tell him I want to see him home tonight no matter what."

(At the hospital)

Arriving at the hospital, Mrs. Blair hurried to Flora's room. Seeing Dr. Wright at the corridor, she held her arm, asking "Leah, how is she doing? Is there any improvement or anything we can do for her to wake up?"

"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do but wait for her to wake up naturally Chloe. Her condition has stabilized, so I'd say she could wake up soon, I hope.

"Has anyone asked for her?"

"No. Don't worry, she isn't registered on the hospital's patient registry. Trust me, nothing will happen, as long as there's no evidence of the accident" Dr. Wright whispered.

"I'm so thankful to you Leah, I don't know what we would do without your help."

"Hey, that's what friends are there for. Alright, go see your son now, before he wakes up and disappears again. I'll call you if there's any news."

Opening the door slowly, Mrs. Blair found his son still sleeping. She got close to him, bent down and whispered "Abel. Abel, wake up" while shaking him on the shoulder.

Startled by his mother, Abel woke up and sat upright, trying to come to his senses.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"We have been looking for you all this time. You weren't even at the penthouse, where have you been? Did you drink?" she whispered angrily.

Nodding, he apologized. "I'm sorry. I just needed some time alone to grasp this all."

"What about us Abel? We have been dealing with everything. The least you could have done was to stay with us. I'm so disappointed with you. Alright. You are coming with me. Your father is really angry with you. From now on you are going to do as we say. We will continue talking at home."

Taking a few steps towards Flora, they both observed her for a few seconds, while Mrs. Blair held Flora's hand, pitying her.

"Do you see? Just look at what state she is in. I spoke with Leah, she said that she is doing well. Let's hope she wakes up and forgives us."
