Chapter 64: 64. Explain it to me.

My eyes open and I find myself laying on a bed. A hospital bed, in a hospital gown.

Why am I in a hospital? How did I get here in the first place? I look around me, I’m the only one here. What’s going on? I’m getting this sense of de javu.

But there’s no Duke sitting on a chair staring at me like that one time.

The door to the room slides open and I stare at it in expectation, thinking it’s Duke, but instead Alan walks in.

"You’re awake!" He says, "Thank God, finally." He says as he rushes to my side, showing more emotions than usual.

"H_how are you feeling?" He makes his way towards me, standing by my bed side.

"Should I go get the doctor?" He’s asking me.

"Alan, what am I doing in the hospital? Why am I here?" I ask.

"Don’t you remember?" He asks and I just blankly stare at him, "Y_you passed out. Y_you found out about your hysterectomy and you passed out."

And now, it’s all coming back to me. Quicker than I would have wanted it to.

"You’ve been out for three days straight." He’s saying, but all that is going through my head now is Rowan.

How could he!

It’s all coming to me now.

I never had cancer!

They say I never had cancer!

How could he do that to me?

Why?!!

N_no, I can’t sit here like this. I have to go to him. I need to meet him personally. I need to see him and ask him, why?!! What could I have possibly done to make him hate me so much?

I need to see him.

"I_ I need to meet Rowan." I stutter the words as I push the sheets from my body and climb down the bed.

"What?!" Alane holds onto both my arms, "Have you been listening to what I’ve been saying? Champagne, you’ve been out cold for three days. You’re not fit to go anywhere. And I don’t think you’re mentally prepared to meet with him right now."

I don’t care. I really don’t. I just want to see Rowan, right now. He has to explain things to me himself.

"L_let me go Alan, I beg you, let go of me." I plead, trying to get out of his hold.

"Calm down Champagne, just calm down. I can’t let—"

"ALAN!!!" I scream and I feel him flinch. "He took away something precious from me." my eyes are starting to burn, "HE MADE ME BARREN!!!" I scream and shake with frustration and vehemence that the hot tears in my eyes fall.

"I need to ask him. I need to see him face to face, Alan, I need him to tell me—" I beat my hand in my chest repeatedly, "I NEED HIM TO TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG!!!" I scream again.

I wipe the tears off my face, "So let me go." I try to act calm. "Let me go Alan." I say while staring him deep in the eyes.

Slowly, his hands on my arms fall to my side.

"Duke told me to keep an eye on you—"

"Alan don’t stop me, plea—"

"So I will drive you there. I’ll drive you to see Rowan." He says and takes off his coat and wraps it around my body.

"Wear your shoes at least." He says as he walks over to the closet and brings out my shoes.

I try to hold back my tears but as I bend to wear them, they begin to form and fall and I can’t see my shoes properly, more or less tie my shoe lace.

I break down and begin to sob, "Why?" I cry while wiping my tears. Alan crouches next to me and takes the shoes out of my hands. "Was it because I was so gullible? Why?" I repeat the question with my hands on my face as he slips the shoes on my leg and ties the lace.

"Let’s go. You’ll ask him yourself." He says and I nod.

...

At first I told Alan to head to the hospital, but he told me that Rowan Fletcher was not in the hospital. I wondered why he was certain about that fact. He told me Rowan Fletcher would be in his house— My old home.

And that’s why right now we’re standing in front of a door I remember so well, waiting for the person inside to open the door.

"Rowan..." I try to calm my breath, try to calm my voice.

"Rowan, I just want to talk. Pl_" I choke on a sob, "Please open the door." I say.

"Are you alone?" He asks. Alan already told me he probably wouldn’t open up if he knew Alan was here with me so he’s standing about two feet away from me, so I will be the only thing Rowan sees through the peephole.

"Y_yes." I say and silence falls again.

I’m pressing my fingers together, waiting for him to open the door. I just need to talk, I really, only just want to talk and—

Click!

I hear the sound of the door being unlocked and it opens standing in front of me is a bruised and battered Rowan. Nothing like what I remember.

"What did you come here for?! Huh!! You sent your thug husband to me and now you came in person to see me in my worst, right?!!"

What in heaven is Hee talking about?

"Let’s take this inside, shall we?" Alan comes up from behind me and I have never seen such fear in the eyes of Rowan before. His pupils dilates and his entire body begins to tremble as he instantly tries to close the door, but it’s already too late

Alan holds open the door and Rowan staggers inside, I enter into the house with Alan following after me and shutting the door close behind him.

I don’t even want to know what happened to his face or why he looks like his head was bashed against a wall multiple times, I just need to hear him tell me there must have been some mistake in the tests Duke’s people ran.

"R_Rowan, I recently had a test," His eyes are not on me. They are on Alan. He’s still trembling on the floor looking up at Alan with so much fear. "And you know what’s funny?" I ask, but he’s not listening.

He’s not even staring at me.

"I beg you Rowan, LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT MY FUCKING FACE WHEN I TALKING TO YOU!!" I snap and his neck, head and eyes instantly lower to meet my gaze.

"I’M," I pause and take in a deep breath before speaking again, "I’m trying to be reasonable and calm here." I beat my chest with my palm again, "I’m trying to have an actual conversation with you here, so please... PLEASE!! look at me when I’m talking to you, huh?" I ask and he nods.

"Thank you." I force a smile to my lips.

"Now, I was saying, it was funny because I didn’t actually want to take the test in the first place. But you see, Duke can be very persistent, you know, so I uh, I_ I_ I took the tests, hahaha," I chuckle.

"I had the test— tests done and to be honest it was exhausting, hahaha," I’m chuckling and ranting and it’s all in a bid to stop me from crying.

"And I really didn’t put my mind into it so I never really remembered to ask for the results." I look up to the ceiling and again I laugh and blink back tears,

"However, however the uhm_ uh_" I snap my fingers repeatedly, trying to figure out the words because I suddenly can’t remember them.

"R_result?" He asks and I look down at him once again and I laugh.

"Yeah, yeah thank you. Now you’re listening. Thank you, the results, yes. So the results somehow fell into my hands and uh, it’s kind of showing something that shouldn’t really be there. I mean, I didn’t even know what a hysterectomy procedure was until I saw those results, hahaha... Funny, right?" I’m laughing again.

"Duke had to explain to me what an hysterectomy was for me to understand it, Rowan. And_ and _and when I did, when I did understand what it meant, I was like uh... ThThere is no way I would have done that." I shrug and laugh.

"I mean, why would I do that? Hahaha. You know I always wanted my own baby right? You know that, right?" He nods.

"See, you do. So why would I go through a process that hinders me from having a baby? Th_ That is what I don’t understand."

I crouch down before him and he leans back, but then I move closer to him again, this time going down on my knees with the rage inside me reaching a boiling point. A point where the lid is about to fly off.

"So explain to me, Rowan... Why the fuck!! WHY THE FUCK DOES IT SAY I HAD AND HYSTERECTOMY!!!"

Dear God, take away my self control, so I can kill this man with my own hands.
