Cruel World Chapter 36: chap35

Theo

'what?' Theo asked in shocked

Tom looks guilty and disturbed too 'I...i just had a small meeting with the CEO of the newspaper who
published Sarah interview, according to them Molly was gone with the intention of taking interview of
Sarah when she saw both of you in gala, by chance she saw Sarah and she acts like they are having a
small talk rather than interview. The CEO told me that he fire Molly immediately and investigate the
matter because he knows Grey name was involved ...Molly wants to get some promotions so she used
this tactic to get fake publicity on your behalf....Theo (tom looks away) sarah indeed met Molly by
chance she wasn't giving any interview'

Theo drops the cigarette in the floor and sit down in shocked and was quite...Sarah didn't betray
him...she was telling him the truth but what he did to her. God for the last 12 days his wife has not
opened an eye,she looks so fragile and so week that she has been on the feeding tube.

He can still see how he hit her with belt how she screamed...how she begged him...and then he sees
Ava face who has been restless because she can't see her mother....he felt throbbing pain in his head
and said 'Fuck... I should probably go to the police'

Tom sighs loudly 'Theo don't be stupid...we have been on this topic like a thousand times but all the
time I told you it will not benefit anyone...look I realized you feel guilty..hell I'm too...if I haven't called
you then she won't be in this position but... I know I'm bastard to say this now but Tina needs
justice...and Sarah is involved in it..We are close Theo very close...just need a big proof'

Theo stands suddenly 'Fuck it... I know Tina need justice. And I will be damn if I don't give her..but
Sarah ..this time she was innocent and i ..(he hold his head) I hurt so bad ...she might never wake up'
Theo said with a feared voice



Tom put his hand on Theo shoulder 'She will..we have given her the best care...doctor might not be
optimistic but they not hopeless too ....but I'm more concern about dad...he is different now and I have
told him whole story about you and Sarah..he still doesn't think Sarah can do it...Theo, he is
determined to take Sarah and Ava when Sarah woke up...that's more worrying me' Tom said in an
uncomfortable voice

Theo said loudly ''fuck I know I made a mistake but dad can't take my family'

'A family you don't deserve ...a family you make sure in which your daughter can't see her mother
again..and family where you are plotting to put your wife behind the bar for a crime she never commits'
Mr. grey loud voice boom in the room

Theo looks away in shame and said 'Dad. I made a mistake. I accept it but you don't know that Tina is
dead because of Sarah'

'Don't fucking call me dad again...you are lucky that you are not behind the bar but I'm waiting for
Sarah to speak and say it by herself it was you....and even if you give me hundred of proof against
Sarah still i wont believe...my daughter Sarah can't hurt anyone certainly not Tina' Mr. grey chocked
with emotions and then h become still and Tom and Theo look how his father grasp for air and his body
was now falling...both brothers run to their dad and said 'Dad..'

They make Mr Grey sit down and then Theo give some water to him. 'I'm calling doctor...i saw the
twitch in your walk yesterday too'

Mr grey stop him 'stop it..I'm ok...my daughter needs to be ok then I will be perfectly fine...it's all stress

Theo said 'Dad.Then you need to relax a bit. I know you are angry but we need you'

Mr Grey when he felt he was little ok he stands slowly 'I wish I can say the same about you' and then
he walked away



Sarah

Sarah felt the small hand on her face and instantly she felt pull to that hand...she can smell the baby
powder and baby formula smell exactly like...her Ava...Sarah was dreaming again she is sure but she
can hear the background voices again this time more clearly

'Elva what is Ava doing here,...you know she shouldn't be here 'she heard harsh male voice

Elva voice was softly but firmed 'Theo. Ava wants to see her mother...you have no idea how this little
girl is getting fed up and sad...she wants to see her mama'

Sarah wants to open her eyes but she was trapped in steel chains. she wants to hold her child but she
can't reach her...then she felt a kiss...Ava soft lips were on Ava cheek 'Ma.mama' Ava said in a baby
voice

Sarah heart constraint and she cry in frustration when she can't break the chains in her dream.Her
baby need her

Theo makes a painful voice 'You ...plz Elva take her..it's not good for a baby to see her mother like that
.plz'

But Sarah doesn't want her baby gone...Theo why you doing this...then Sarah saw in her dream she
was free from the chains but then she felt the belt whiplash again and again and then she saw her child
Ava scared face ...who was looking at her mother bleeding body...she has to protect her...She can
heard Theo voice in her dream while he was hitting her 'you will never open you fucking mouth ... I will
make sure of that'

Theo loudly said 'What's happening to her....why she is shaking like that. Elva calls the doctor she is in
the other room. Sarah..come on Sarah..it's ok you are fine..oh god don't let anything happen to her'
theo plead in a loud voice



Sarah then screamed loudly and she opens her eyes and saw Theo scared and shocked blue
eyes...Then she heard a lady wearing white court run to her 'Sarah calm down..ok calm down..you are
ok..you are fine...just take a deep breath..in and out ..in and out'

Sarah looked at the lady who was a doctor and she did exactly like that...she hard familiar voice 'Oh
thank god..my daughter is finally awake. Sarah ..oh god Sarah are you ok' Mr grey presence was sure
enough calming her..but she wants to see her daughter

She opens her but then she saw Theo face in front of him 'Sarah tell me do you need something..tell
me please'

Sarah freeze at the moment and she become tense and she cants say anything..it felt like a huge
cotton ball was forcefully fitted inside her mouth...she looked away..he will kill her ...he will kill her

The doctor can sense that Sarah was shocked 'I want some alone time with Sarah..since I have to
check her vital..and let her out of the tubes..then you can guys see her'

But theo was not happy 'im not leaving my wife..she was trying t say something..she need something'

Mr grey come in front of him and said 'You are going out..didn't make it more difficult ..let the doctor do
their jobs' Mr. Grey said in a tone which leaves no room for argument

When they were gone. Sarah was still crying but silently..She knows something bad has
happened..She wants to tell everyone what happens to her..She wants to see her daughter but she
can't speak

A doctor at Sarah in concern and said 'Sarah I want you to take a sip of the water very slowly (doctor
put the straw in the glass and Sarah took a small sip). now, Sarah, can you say something..like your
name to what you need. I really need to listen your voice 'doctor said in a suspicious tone



Sarah opens her mouth and said the word but no voice came. She did it again and try to take again her
Ava name but no voice...she felt her body was hurting but her voice was numb. Doctor also was
shocked and said 'it's ok you are tired maybe next time..'

But Sarah knows she might have lost her voice

Theo

She was awake..oh thank god she is wake...he will take care of her now..she will be fine now. Ava will
be happy too.

then he felt the doctor came out but her eyes were little worried ..Mr grey jumped and said 'Hows
Sarah..is she ok?'

The doctor looks down and sighs 'she is fine..it's a good sign she is awake because we were getting
worried but ...but there is a problem'

Theo hold he breathe 'whats the problem'

Doctor 'I think it's because of shocked or trauma she was before...made her lose her voice. I mean
medically her vocal cords her normal like anybody but she has a fear or so emotional baggage that
won't let her speak..she is trying to speak but her mind is not accepting that...she may speak
now..maybe tomorrow or maybe never...it totally depends upon how Sarah deal with things further now'

Theo lost all the color from his face and Mr grey looked the doctor in shocked ..Theo stumble and said
'Will..will she..she.. ever talk..I .. I ...mean can we do something..or help to talk'

The doctor looked at them 'of course we can try...but like I said it's her mind..that will allow her to
talk..but till that time..don't force her to talk. give her some time..and try to make her happy..I'm sure
she will speak again.'



Mr grey did not say anything and walk slowly toward Sarah room and theo was shell-shocked what the
fuck he did..he ..he took her voice from his wife..her soft gentle voice..her angelic voice when she sings
lullaby to Ava..it's all gone because of him...he looked up and said' oh god what I did'

Theo knows he needs to be away for a moment. When he came back home...he went directly to his
room and saw Sarah lying silently on the bed.Where her face was covered in bruises and she looks so
sick and week. He saw next to her was Ava laying and she was sleeping sweetly...Elva was there too
with a nurse. He saw Sarah looked down at Ava and she was saying something but no words he can
her and it hurt him alot..It was like a real punch on his gut.

Elva saw him standing and she said in reserved voice 'Sarah stop crying when she saw Ava so I let
Ava sleep a little with her'

Sarah flinched when she saw Theo and closes her eyes like he will go away.

Theo said composedly 'I need alone time with my wife'

Elva looks like a mama bear like she is telling him in hell he will 'I don't think so

Theo sighs 'Elva, please... I won't do something.. I just want to talk...Ava can also stay her...just 5
minutes'

Elva looks uncertain but she signals the nurse and they left them alone

Theo sits down opposite side on the bed where Ava small feet's was touching his leg. He looks down
and saw how much this little girl was disturbed and hurt when she can't see her mother

He picked Sarah cold bony hands and saw her tense and rigid 'Sarah please open your eyes'

Sarah was immune by his order open his eyes and saw him in a scared manner...Theo holds her hand
softly and said ' I'm...i (he looks away) I just want you to know that you are saved... I promise n my



dead sister. I will not hurt you...again....im sorry..so sorry and I don't expect your forgiveness but please
it's upon you to get better..to speak again and let Ava have her mother again'

Sarah was so numb and can't speak..just cry and looks down...Theo kiss her forehead 'im so so sorry'
he said it again and leave them alone.
