The first thing they saw was the familiarity of the room. They always tried to come see him at least once a week but sometimes, with work, that was complicated. Karine stop trying to count the number of hours she spent in the office. For Mary, that was the same thing plus the country trip she was forced to make for the company.The second and most important thing they saw was their son wide awake, smiling at them which make their heart beating with joy. Approaching on each side of the bed, they barely managed to restrain themselves to jump on the bed and hug him. They settled on taking both of his hands and caressing his hairs.
"Welcome back sweetie" Mary said with a loving tone.
"We missed you, so much" Add Karine with anguish in her voice. Tears streaming from her face.
Hearing that, Nathaniel almost said he too missed them, but that will give rise to more questions and will make them more sad if they knew he was trapped for the last four years. For the moment, everyone think that he was sleeping and it"s better if anyone keep thinking that. His moms suffered enough, n.o.body must know what really happened to him. Just the memories of Marc imprinted on his mind will be warrant enough for the government to emit a kill order on him.
"I …. love… you.." He said finally, looking at both of them.
Mary and Karine exchanged a delighted look, their worry turning into nothing. They knew that there were risk of permanent brain damage after his coma and the hemorrhage but looking at his smile, gentle beautiful eyes, they were besides themself with happiness.
"Mom… what… happened .. in.. the… last … 4years…" Ask with difficulty Nathaniel.
Upon seeing his moms entering the room, he noticed that the clothes they were wearing was way much more costly that they could manage before, adding the medical coast for him, something did not add up. Karine was an appointed lawyer while Mary was a musician. He got his pa.s.sion for music thanks to her although she always prefer guitar and him the violin. The only instruments that could breach their difference was the piano.
"Hush honey, don"t talk you need to rest. We will tell you." Said Karine
Then they start to explain what happen on the last 4 years. After the accident, they were both startle when Mary"s mom and dad appear on the emergency. Her parents were both conservative and never approved their relationship. Since that time, they stopped talking to each other, thing that Mary always feel sorry for. Finally that was they love for their grandson that they never met who finally bridge the gap between them.
Mary after the accident and the grim expectation for Nathaniel could not compose anymore, like there was something broken inside of her. She then accepted the proposition of her father to work in their family company. His Grandfather was the creator of Universal Lyndon Records, one of the best label in the country witch sign artist like Dido, Timbaland, Cristina aguilera and so on.
Karine start working like a maniac as a mean to fight the sorrow in her heart. Every people she meet on court, she crush them, saving the lives of countless innocent people in the process. Until last year when she was recruited to the DA office as a prosecutor. She specialised herself in criminal law and start putting murderer, drug dealer and crime lord behind bars.
Pride shone in the eyes of Nathaniel as he listen to their story.
"Your grandfather was in Europe, he"s coming back right now. Having a personal jet is useful sometime i guess." Said Mary in a wry tone."Your Grandma coming to, she was in the hampton, so in a few hours she will be here."
Nathaniel was thrill, he never met his grandparents so he kinda look forward to it. Smiling and surrounded by love, he fall asleep.
