Escaping The Mafia King

Chapter 53: 53- Surreal Dreams

Varys sat beside the bed as a chorus of beeps drove him insane. But as much as he hated them, those beeps meant Hope was alive. She was still fighting. The doctor looked at him and nodded. "She'll be fine, she's had a tough experience, and I worry about the trauma it might have mentally caused her more than her health. The poison has been counteracted."

The rock that had been crushing his chest slowly dissolved. "And your other patient?"

He sighed. "That one is a tougher case. It's not often I'm grateful for a fever to that degree, but I have to say, I think that one saved his life. But, I just don't know if he'll ever wake up."

Varys nodded. "Don't let her know that part."

"He has a good chance because the fever helped slow that poison down, but I don't want to give you false hope."

"He'll wake up," Varys replied. "He's got a job to do, and if he wants to work for me, there will be no slacking."

"Since her vitals are okay at the moment, I'm moving on. If you need anything, just buzz the nurse's station."

Varys watched the doctor go before he took Hope's hand in his and squeezed it gently. "Hey you, there's no more danger to you now. Your nightmares are all over. You can wake up and come back to me anytime."

Varys was exhausted himself and he still wanted to mourn the loss of Marco. However, he wasn't about to do anything without seeing Hope's beautiful eyes one more time before he allowed sleep to claim him. The nightmares that usually haunted him were going to be far worse after a day like today.

Hope's hand moved in his and a moment later her eyes fluttered open and she stared at him. "Are you a dream?" she whispered her words slurred with sleep.
