Amelia was sitting outside the emergency room waiting and praying continuously for her brother. She was out of her mind all she could think about right now was her brother and only him.

After proper waiting of 2 hours, the doctor came out removing his mask. Amelia without wasting a second almost jumped on him making him smile at her.

"Relax Ms kale. Your brother is out of danger." This made her close her eyes letting out a long sigh of relief. She felt a lot of burden and tension dropping from her shoulders.

"Thank you. Thank you so much, doctor." The doctor smiled at her shaking his head.

"Don't worry Ms kale it's my job." Suddenly a question popped up in her mind.

"Doctor I just visited him in the morning and he was all ok. Then why suddenly." The doctor heaved out a sigh.

"It happens in some cases Ms kale. Having different kinds of strokes while being in a coma isn't a big deal but I couldn't get a hint of what happened to your brother that he had this much of a serious stroke. It seems like some sensitive memory had played in his mind. But you don't have to worry anymore he's better now and will be shifted to the room after an hour."

Amelia nodded before again sighing in relief. Her head as well as her eyes were aching from all crying. She closed her eyes resting her head on the wall.

Her mind suddenly filled with the harsh words she said to Liam. She knew she was angry, helpless and out of mind when she said those words. And she for a second regretted it too. She knew she hurt him badly but it wasn't her fault. Anyone in her place after seeing the cause of her brother's condition there would have acted that way.

She just wishes for Liam to let her and his past go. To move on. And to let her move on. His love was buried deep in her heart and it wasn't easy to just pull it out. She needs time and she's trying to move on.

She wanted to start a life without him and she wishes for him to do that as well. Even though she said those words but she knew that she was too harsh on him. He was already dreading for Harry's condition and her anger did a great job in breaking him more.

After an hour Harry was shifted to the room and Amelia instantly went to him. She kissed his forehead repeatedly being thankful that he's ok.

That time she didn't care for anything except him. She just sat beside his bed kept on staring and talking to him that how much he worried her. She didn't even notice when she fell asleep.

Meanwhile.

"Come on woman pick up the damn call," Xander mumbled impatiently waiting for Amelia to answer her phone.

He was dead worried for her. It was past 11 pm and she still didn't come back. She always comes back at 9 pm and helps Alexander to fell asleep but today Xander had to convince Alexander that Amelia had an emergency so she couldn't make it.

Even though Alexander was requesting his father to at least let him talk to her on phone but when Amelia wasn't picking up then how could he make his son believe him?

After trying many times finally Alexander fell asleep and Xander didn't waste any second before calling his wife numerous times. She was worrying him.

Finally giving up on his tries. He called his investigator to find her. After a proper hour, he got the call.

"Sir today Mr kale had a serious heart stroke and I came to know that she has been in the hospital for past 5 hours. And sir today Mr St---" Before he could complete his words Xander interrupted him.

"Shit. Alright, thank you for your work." With that, he hung up without listening to the investigator's words.

He grabbed his coat and almost ran to his car. He knew she needed someone with her. Her brother's matter has always been a delicate one for her and by hearing that Harry was in a critical condition. Xander can instantly guess that how devastated she must be.

Reaching the hospital at first he was stopped by the nurse but he soon told her that he's here for his wife so she simply let him go. He entered the room only to find his tired wife sleeping. Her head was laying on Harry's bed while her hands were still gripping her brother's.

Signing heavily Xander walked to her figure before removing his coat and covering her. She was only in a shirt and a skirt reaching to her knees. She mostly wears skirts than jeans and Xander likes to see her that way.

As soon as the heavy coat came in contact with her shoulders she stirred in her sleep opening her eyes. Xander sighed again in disappointment. He didn't want to wake her up.

She slowly looked back only to find her husband standing there. She instantly felt guilty that she must have worried him.

"Xander I am so sorry I---" She instantly stood up from her seat gently placing her brother's hand on the bed facing her husband. Before she could continue he gently shook his head.

"It's fine Amelia I can understand." Amelia went silent before locking her tired eyes with his shiny blue ones. They both stared into the eyes of each other for some time before Xander extended his hands and gently pulled her close.

She without any protest closed her eyes placing her head on his broad shoulder. She was too tired. He wrapped his arms around her fragile figure engulfing her in a soothing hug.

"I am here for you. Your not alone Amelia." This broke her even though she tried harder to hold on.

Her trembling arms wrapped around his torso as her tears started streaming down.

"I-I was so s-scared Xander. I t-thought I will l-lose him. I ---" Loud cracked sobs left from her throat as her grip tighten on him pushing her body completing in his arms.

"Shh, I know baby. I know." He whispered lovingly rubbing her back while she let herself break down in his arms.

She was scared. Scared out of her wits. She didn't want to lose her brother at any cost. And Xander's warmth broke her cold wall that she built to not let her break down in front of anyone.
