My Emotionless Goddess

A week later, the Greene family arranged an engagement party for the two. Everything was settled on each end and nobody opposed their engagement. After the two were finally engaged, Lucia was allowed to stay with Ezekiel under Stern rules by Mrs Mendez to take care of her to which he agreed readily.

Ezekiel was in his office reviewing documents when his nose started bleeding. He had been experiencing the same thing recently. Although at First he simply brushed it off as being under the weather or simply tired but lately, the bleeding had become alarming.

His secretary Who was waiting for the signed documents, was the First one to notice his nose bleeding.

” President, you are nose bleeding again.” Only then did Ezekiel touch his nose and felt the sticky warm liquid flowing before a drop landed on the files.

Removing his hand, he covered his nose while leaning on his chair to help backflow of the blood.

” You should see the doctor.” The secretary advised. He was worried about the health of his boss.

” Don’t exaggerate things, it’s nothing serious.” Ezekiel casually brushed him off but deep down he was wondering if he was convincing the secretary or himself. He could tell that something was very wrong with his body. The occasional nosebleeds he has been trying to hide from Lucia and body weakness. He would feel tired even in the morning upon waking up.

“But president…”

” Okay don’t make a fuss about it, it’s nothing.” Kiel interrupted him. He didn’t want his secretary thinking that it was something serious. With his nature, Lucia would be knowing about his condition sooner, something he didn’t want because he didn’t want to add to her problems especially now that she was pregnant.

A month passed by slowly and nosebleeds were getting even more serious. His secretary resulted in threatening him to see the doctor and have himself checked orelse the Young madam would be hearing from him. Finally, after getting a doctor’s appointment, he dragged himself to the clinic.

After explaining his condition, he saw the doctor’s expression turn grim. That sends warning alarms to his mind.

” Be honest with me doctor, what is wrong with me?” He asked with a dread filled voice. Even a normal person without any medical knowledge could feel that something was terribly wrong with his body. The splitting headaches and drowsiness were becoming more frequent accompanied by heavy bleeding. In the past, he would bleed for at least ten minutes, now it has changed to thirty minutes and More. He was losing a lot of blood not to mention that he would have cases of complete darkness Even during the day. That was what was worrying him the most.

” I can’t tell you for sure but I would like to look at your nasal cavity and your brain. You will get x-rayed and after obtaining the results, only then can I tell you how your condition is. Epistaxis is not a serious condition but sometimes things are more complicated than what we think. Try to be positive, all will be well.” The doctor said smiling at him, but Kiel could spot the fakeness in his smile. Something must be terribly wrong.

After the two x-rays were done, Kiel was so tired that he went back home to relax. Lucia was busy at her shop so he decided to rest at home as he pondered about his health. The doctor told him that the temporary blindness could be as a result of one of his optic nerves being injured but he could tell there was more to that. He arrived home after struggling to stay awake while driving and went straight to bed before he succumbed to sleep. Recently, his body felt weak.

A week passed and the day to collect the results finally arrived. He woke up feeling edgy and antsy. After going to the office, he completed his work before making his way to the hospital but before that,” under no circumstances should I be disturbed today, it doesn’t matter the reason Even if the company is facing bankruptcy.” He instructed his personal secretary before leaving.

” Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital?” His secretary asked out of nowhere, as a person who knew Kiel for years, he could see his nervousness despite him trying as much as possible to conceal it.

Kiel cocked a brow at him wondering how he knew about his doctor’s appointment but knowing that his secretary was an intelligent man, he concluded that he must have figured it out.

” No need, I can handle this myself. It’s nothing serious.” Kiel lied before entering the elevator and left.

” Why do I feel like you’ve changed and sound like a defeated person?”the secretary mumbled to himself before minding his own business. He was truly worried about his boss but to reduce his boss’s work, the best he could do was to finish all his work. That way, his president wouldn’t be much busy and would get ample time to rest because he looked like Haggard and was sleep deprived.

Kiel made his way to the hospital. For some reason, he felt disturbed and unsettled. His eyes were twitching repeatedly, a sign of bad news on the way. His nervousness increased tenfold. After waiting for ten minutes, he was finally ushered in.

The doctor who was in a white coat greeted him warmly and tried making little conversation with Kiel. But how could he not realise that the doctor was trying to prepare him for something maybe… unbearable??NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

” You can stop going around in circles, doctor and tell me what’s wrong with me.” Kiel interrupted him and said calmly. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was beating erratically, threatening to pop out of his chest.

Sighing heavily, the doctor intertwined his hands on the table and looked at Kiel seriously. ” The two results are out and things don’t look good at all.” He finally revealed, his face showing a trace of helplessness and… pity. Kiel could feel his heart constricting painfully but he pushed everything aside and asked,” how bad is my condition?”

Taking another look at the X-ray results sitting on his table, the doctor said,” it’s not good at all. The continuous bleeding has been caused by a rapture of your nasal membranes.” He paused before his expressions turned a shade of darker.

” There’s been a backflow of blood to your brain and you Know what that means.” The doctor added. Kiel went silent for a while. Of Course he understood the consequences of backflow of blood to the brain. No wonder his headaches have been frequent and consistent.

” What about the temporary blindness you have been experiencing?” He asked yet another question.

” That’s because the blood has clotted one of the veins bringing blood to your eyes. As a consequence, there is a lack of blood which carries ox.

gen to your eyes hence the split blindness episodes.” The doctor replied.

” How much time do I have Left?” Kiel asked the question he has been dreading a lot. Some conditions could be dealt with medically but without asking , he knew his case was hopeless . Nothing could be done and death was inevitable.

” Three months before your brain becomes unresponsive, one month before you lose your sight completely.” The doctor honestly replied. He knew that bluntness to their patience could cause unimaginable consequences but the man before him was holding on just fine… Was it him?
