Chapter 86—Memory; Fully Regained Or Partially?

Lena paced around the foyer taking deep breaths trying to calm her frantic heart, The doctors were attending to Henderson. She was so concerned about getting Henderson to the hospital that she didn't have the time to confront Greg. Brian and Matteo came to the house together and they went over to the hospital with Alia and Lena while Cleo and Irene stayed back at home with Trent and Itzel. The doctors were attending to Henderson while they waited outside. Cleo stayed back at home with Trent and Itzel. Lena's scream from earlier when Greg pushed Henderson was enough to wake Cleo, Irene, Trent and Itzel. They ran to the living room when they heard Lena shout, their heart twisted with worry the moment they saw Henderson's condition. Concern etched Alia's features as she watched Lena pace around with tears rolling down her cheeks, she still regretted the fact that she was blinded by her hate for Lena that she was unable to see how much Lena loved Henderson. Letting out a sigh, Alia got off the couch she was seated on and sauntered to Lena. "Lena you should come have a sit, " Alia mumbled. Lena shook her head, drawing in a sharp breath. A tear slid down her lips, she bit her lips trying to stop herself from bursting into tears. "I can't sit down, Alia. I have no idea what's going to happen to Henderson. He wasn't fully recovered yet and now Greg pushed him. This is all my fault, maybe if I didn't leave Hayglow to Oxwey and then meet...." Lena would have continued but Alia chipped in calmly, she placed a hand on Lena's shoulder. "It's not your fault, Lena. If there's anyone who should take the blame for all that's happening it's me, if I hadn't hired Kyra that time you would never have thought Henderson cheated and you wouldn't have moved to Hayglow. It's my fault." Alia sighed. "Yes, you should have a seat. Henderson will be fine, he is a strong man. If he survived the accident, he'll definitely survive this one too." Brian smiled reassuringly. Matteo nodded, " Yes, it will be okay." Lena managed to wear a smile, despite the comforting and assuring words, she was still worried. "Come have a sit, if you continue this way you might end up falling sick." Alia took Lena's hand and pulled her with her till they got to the couch, she placed her hands on Lena's shoulders and made her sit. Shortly after, the doctor who was in charge of Henderson's condition came to them. "Doctor, how is Henderson?" Lena sprang up to her feet the moment she saw the doctor. "Luckily, there were no internal injuries. It's a surprise that he only sustained bruises from the fall. The only problem is his broken arm will take more time to heal because of the fall. We'll be able to give further diagnosis when he awakes because he's still unconscious." The doctor informed me. Lena heaved a breath she didn't realise she had been holding in all this while, her heart was beating fast as a result of the joy that washed through her ridding the sorrow she was overwhelmed with earlier. "Thank you, Doctor. Can we see him?" Lena asked. "Yes, come with me." The doctor smiled beckoning them before taking the lead. Alia embraced Lena and then they followed the doctor. Lena smiled as she walked into the room, Henderson lay on the bed with his eyes shut. He was wearing a hospital gown, and his face was bruised as a result of the fall but he was still as good-looking as ever. "Make sure not to disturb him, " the doctor mumbled. They nodded in response and the doctor left the room after that. Lena sat beside Henderson careful enough not to wake him up. She planted a kiss on his forehead and then took his hand in hers. Tears rolled down Alia's cheeks as she stood beside Henderson's bed taking in the sight of him. "I love you Henderson, " Lena purred raising his hand to her lips, she placed a kiss on the back of it. "I'm pretty sure he's going to wake up right now because you said that. Today is supposed to be your wedding but here we are.." Brian muttered making them chuckle. Lena tried not to think about the wedding but regardless she couldn't stop herself, even though the plans for the wedding were paused after Henderson's accident and Kyra's interference, she woke up feeling happy for a reason she couldn't place her hands on. Lena felt Henderson's hand clasped her but for a second she thought it was just her imagination until she saw his eyes open slowly. "Henderson... You're.... Awake.." She beamed getting off the bed and ambling to his side. Greg and Brian rushed to his side. "What am I doing here?" Henderson questioned his eyes darted around the room and then he shifted his gaze to Lena. Brian huffed folding his arms across his chest, " Don't tell me you've lost your memory again?" "Darling, who is this guy?" Henderson's eyes crinkled as he pointed to Brian. Darling? Did she hear that right? Lena tried to process her thoughts which rendered her speechless. "Babe." Henderson's hand enveloped Lena's drifting her out of her thoughts. Babe? Had he regained his memory? Lena stared at Henderson, she cleared her throat thinking about what she was going to say to him. "Wait, you remember me?" Lena lifted a brow at Henderson. "Yeah, where are our children? What am I doing here?" Henderson asked looking around the room. His face darkened, and his eyes narrowed as they fixed on Alia who gazed downward the moment she noticed Henderson's eyes were on her. "And what is she doing here?" "She came to see you, " Lena smiled. Henderson scoffed but he didn't say anything else he just averted his eyes from Alia to Matteo when he heard him speak. "How do you feel?" "Matteo, I don't know. I just feel weak and pain in my hand. Regardless I just want to get out of this place, I can't put up with this antiseptic smell any longer." Henderson made a scrscrunched-up. Lena's lips curved happily, and her heart fluttered with joy. Henderson had indeed regained his memory, wait! Why then did he fail to recognise Brian? Was it some kind of joke? "Where are Cleo, Irene and Aunt Nana?" Henderson inquired returning his gaze to Lena. "They are in the mansion, we had to rush you to the hospital. Cleo and Irene stayed back to watch Itzel and Trent and madam Carmen is taking care of one house." Henderson nodded with a smile, the smile on his face slipped and was replaced with a scowl. "Where are those liars?" Lena wondered if the people she thought Henderson referred to as liars were the same Kyra and Greg because those were the names imprinted on her mind. "Kyra and Greg, they are at the mansion." "I sure hope they don't escape.." Henderson's said through gritted teeth. They had to pay for what they did. "Don't worry about Greg and Kyra. I already informed your security team to make sure those two don't leave the mansion," Brian assured. Henderson's brows furrowed in a frown as his eyes wandered to Brian. "Who is this guy and why are you here?" "What? You are joking, right?" Brian grumbled pursing his lips.
