Part 63
Also, sorry about this chapter.
Phillip could feel his heart racing and his hand shaking when he packed his bag hurriedly. He didn't even realized when Shan walked in watching as he packs his necessities into his duffel before he zipped it close. "Ready?" He asks him.
Phillip looked up to meet his gaze and nods before he grabbed his bag and headed out from his room.
"Daddy why can't we come with you?" Sarah tries to chase after her father as Phillip walked down the stairs with Hope staring at them from the bottom stairs. "Is uncle Henry gonna be alright?" Hope asks tearfully with her broken voice and Phillip stops when he faced her at the bottom stairs. "I'll wait in the car." Shan told Phillip grabbing him his bag and left.
"Listen Hope, Sarah." He sat them both down on the bottom steps kneeling before them. "I don't know about uncle Henry news yet but I will make sure I call you once I found out. Can you both please, just please behave and stay here with Charles like a good girl." Phillip words sounds pleading as he stares at the pairs of eyes staring back at him in worry.
"Send him my love." Hope whispers in tears pressing her lips to hold back her tears before Phillip pulled them both in a hug. "I'll be back soon. Your mothers will come home soon alright. I called them." Phillip says before he stood up and rushed outside before he stopped and turned on his heels again.
"Forget your passport again daddy?" Sarah asks cynically and Phillip was not amused by her words when he sighed and ran back upstairs to grab his passport in his room. They both turned to glance at each other with a side smirked covers their faces.
.
They arrived at the airstrip with his private jet waiting for them to take off. The staffs greeted him when he stepped out from the car before they grabbed his bag from the trunk of the car. "Let's talk to the captain first." Shan told Phillip and he nods walking into the hangar for their flight plan. Phillip wanted to be there as fast as he could and he need to make sure their flight plan covers safety and timing.
They walked back to the plane climbing the steps entering the empty plane with one stewardess greeted them after they enters. "Let's get this plane off the ground now. I don't want any delay." Phillip orders taking his seat over the window side putting on his seatbelt with a long sighs.
Two hours into the flight Phillip decides he wanted to use the bathroom. He unclipped his seatbelts off and headed to the lavatory at the back of the plane.
The moment he opened the lavatory door, he screamed an unmanly scream when he found both Sarah and Hope sitting in the bathroom floor staring back at him. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" He screamed at both of them before he pulls them out from the lavatory and had them sat on the chairs.
"Daddy! Bad words! I'm telling mummy!" Sarah yells at him and he clicked his tongue at her. "I don't care! How the hell did you both managed to sneak in here without anyone noticed?!" He yells again and both Hope and Sarah turned to look at each other.
"They bribed everyone with everything they had. Including their trust fund." Shan adds scrolling through his iPad without even glancing up at him. "Wait you knew about this?" Phillip asks and Shan sighs.
"Hey it's your kids not mine. They had the Fox gene. Henry used to pull this stunt with your father remember?" Shan adds earning both of them a laugh. Phillip sighs shaking his head in disbelief before he left to use the toilet like he meant too.
Eight hours later they arrived at the JFK airport and Phillip swore he was quite impressed with both of Sarah and Hope act. They knew they had planned this quite remarkably by themselves and even remembers to bring their own passport with them.
The ride to the hospital was nerve wrecking and Phillip could feel his heart racing in each seconds they are in the car. Hope noticed the bounced on his knees signing how nervous her uncle is at the thought of her favorite uncle.
Yes, Henry is her favorite uncle compared to Phillip. Not because he is more handsome but he is also warm, he's smart and he knows how to calm Hope down when she had too much in her mind especially being there when she needed him. She remembers how devastated her uncle was at the lost of his boyfriend that he loves so much.
She had his pictures all over Phillip's wedding album and not once did her uncle glanced over his boyfriend pictures. She might not understand why they broke up but she knows how much Henry loves him since each time he saw Alex's photo in Hope's room or Phillip's, he would teared up and hides away in his room. Hope knows better not to say anything but each time he did that, she would sneaked in and climbed over his bed to comfort him.
She glanced over Phillip sitting next to him with Sarah on her other side and Shan right at the end in the car as they drove them to the hospital. She held Phillip's palm over his lap and he glanced over towards her. He smiled weakly at her touch before wrapping his arm above her shoulder and pulls her into his chest. "He has to be okay." Hope whisper and Phillip nods.
.
Alex lost tracked of time of himself being sedated in the hospital. He remembers Luke, he remembers his mother told him that he is dead and there is nothing in this world would bring him back right now. But he didn't exactly remember when he moves himself from the emergency room up to the surgery waiting room area finding his parents sitting there looking dreadfully worried.
"What is it?" He asks turning their heads towards him. "Alex you should be resting." Ellen told him as she caught him almost stumbled on his own feet before letting him sat on one of the benches joined by his parents after.
"What happened? Where is Henry? Shouldn't he be out of surgery by now?" He asks pinching his nose bridge trying to get his focus back into the room.
"We don't know yet, they haven't said anything." Oscar adds pacing right before him and just on cue the door opened revealing the doctor in a fade green scrubs pulling out his head cap as he entered the room. "Mr Henry Fox?" He calls and immediately Ellen and Alex stood.
"How is he?" Alex asks and the doctor scrunched his head cap in his hand before he took a deep breath. "There's been some complications." He starts and Alex could feel his heart racing in his chest again.
"The damage to his heart is actually worst than we thought. We tried to repair it but due to his high blood pressure, one of the vessels burst and everything just went downhill. We tried to stop the bleeding as best as we could. He was too sick to begin with. I'm so sorry." The moment the doctor finishes his sentences, Alex could feel his heart broke into pieces.
"What do you mean?" He asks feeling his mother holding on to his side and sniffles were heard besides him. "Mijo." Oscar tries to put his hand over his shoulder but Alex shrugs it off, "What is it mean?!" Alex raised his voice at the doctor with tears running down his face.
"I'm so sorry for your lost." The doctor's words felt like knife stabbing him in his heart. He felt his whole world came crushing down on him and the memory of losing Luke still had such an impact in him from earlier.
"No, no. no he can't- he can't be-" Alex mutters feeling his throat tightened on each breaths. His mouth gaped apart as his chest burns like a hot knife stabbing him right in his chest. "Alex, breathe, breath baby." Ellen cupped his cheek in her palm as he fell on his knees right on the floor of the waiting room with his parents holding on to him.
"NO! NO! HENRY! NO! You can't take him away from me! You already took Luke! You can't fucking take him too!" Alex yelled to the ceiling holding on to his St Michael's pendant over his chest as he rocked his body back and forth with tears flowing like waterfall. "I can't- I can't-" Alex could feel his throat getting tighter and tighter as he draws his breaths.
Alex felt his mother's pulling him by his neck to help him breathe but the more he pulls air into his lungs, the more he could feel like he's dying.
"Oh God it hurts. Mum it hurts, please make it stop. Make it stop, mum it hurts! Please, just let me die! Let me go! I wanna be with Henry please. Let me die." Alex wailing cries made Ellen's heart broke in pieces as she held him closer to her chest. "Please mum, let me die with him." He begs over and over as Ellen cradled him close.
"I can't live without him mum, please. I can't, please! I can't do this without him." Alex begs in her arms as she rocked him hushing soft words for comfort. But she knew there is nothing that would made this any better. Nothing she says would make Alex become his usual self again.
"Baby please don't say that. You are stronger than you think. Please. You need to be strong for you, for Henry's family." She hushed softly into his ears as he cries. "I can't. I can't. Please let me wake up. Let me wake up from this nightmare please." Alex begs as he cried further in her arms.
