Episode 7
Many medical tests were run on Bryan to examine the intensity of the injury, he sustained in his br@in.
“The main reason for this tests is to know if the injury your son sustained was mild, moderate or severe so we could act fast” The Doctor had told them.
Of course the test was so expensive but the desperate parents doesn’t mind, anything for Bryan at that moment was worth it.
“Don’t worry Mr and Mrs Frederick Thompson your son will be fine, I believe your son was raised in pure love, stable and caring home, a child’s home environment can positively influence recovery if the child lives in a stable and a caring home. A quality home environment and access to appropriate rehabilitation is critical to maximize outcomes,” Doctor Anderson had said to encourage the anxious parents but that got them even more worried as they knew that thier home and family was not stable and caring as they lived separately for A year and was at the edge of divorce when the accident happened.
Evelyn and Frederick was speechless as the Doctor walked away, they were both losing thier mind and was dying of guilt and shame for being the worst parents ever.
God showed Evelyn and Frederick mercy, when the Doctor returned with a good news.
“The injury your son sustained is not severe as we thought, it’s not a lasting damage, with the right treatment, he would be healed, but it will only take time
He will be discharged soon” The doctor had told them
And also the doctor stressed the importance of a strong, stress-free environment with ample support from them as Bryan’s parents to increase the chances of a strong, lasting, and balanced recovery.
All Evelyn and Frederick un-derstood from what the doctor had been saying to them was to spend more time with Bryan and also give him a less stressful but caring and loving environment. Which implied that they have to set aside thier marital problems and help thier son recover and be normal again.
Before Bryan got discharged from the hospital, Evelyn moved back to her matrimonial home as Frederick had sÂŁnd away his lover ever since he Learnt the whole truth from Mabel.
“I pushed my wife into the arms of another man” He had blamed himself many times. When Bryan got discharged, Evelyn and Frederick took turn to take proper care of him.
With the look of things, The couple were prepared to give Bryan a long-term care and a solid, stress-free environment at home as the doctor suggested.
The doctor had told them that the time Bryan spent on recovery is key to returning him on a positive road for the rest of his lives. And they were both determined to correct thier wrongs and make up for all the pain they caused thier children especially Bryan.
Evelyn had quit her job at Roland’s company to care for her son full time as well as physical thera-py and mental thera-py.
It was not easy for Evelyn and Frederick to take care of Bryan, most times, they would become emotional, each time they look at Bryan staring at them speechlessly, Bryan used to be a vibr@nt, intelligent and very smart young child, they will both cry, blaming themselves for what had happened to thier beloved Bryan. Whenever Evelyn was alone with Bryan, she would be in tears, most times she would hide her tears but Bryan always noticed that his mother was in tears because of him. Even though he was mute and drooling, He saw how much his parents loved him and how close they have become because of him.
Evelyn had lost weight overnight. She still feel responsible for what happened to Bryan. One-day, Frederick who had began to care about his wife said to Evelyn, “Eve, you have lost weight, I think you nee-d more rest, Let’s hire the service of the nurse, you nee-d to rest, you are the only one who takes care of Bryan when I’m not around, we nee-d a nurse”
“No, we don’t nee-d a nurse, it’s my fault that Bryan is in this condition In the first place and I have to take care of him” Evelyn replied smiling faintly.

When she opened the door, She lost words when she saw who was standing at the door.
She was dumb for few minutes before she got her voice back.
“Roland, why are you here?” She asked. Roland ignored the question and walked into the living room and walked straight to where Bryan was sitting.
“Big boy, how are you feeling” Roland asked Bryan, The young boy reminisced about the first day he had met uncle Roland and how he took them to an eatery and Evelyn his mother had introduced him as her old school mate, Bryan recalled how his father felt the day he mentioned his name in the kitchen, the child thought of how he would visit them at Aunt Mabel’s house when His parents got separated.

“Bryan how are you feeling?” Roland said and Bryan gave him a weird stare.
“Roland what are you doing here?” Evelyn ch!pped in
“I c@mÂŁ to see how you and your son is doing?”Roland said
“We are fine, thank you ” Evelyn responded
“Yes, I can see that, you have even returned to your husband despite everything he did to hurt you, I never knew you could leave me so easily, despite how much we love each other” Roland said calmly and Evelyn stared at him speechlessly.
“I know we all got emotional and we thought only about Bryan, When I saw the awful state you and your son was, I even vowed to disappear from your life when God heals you both but now I un-derstand that I was just being emotional then and I said things that would be impossible for me to do, I can’t leave with out you, I want you back in life, I’m here with a suggestion, if the divorce proceedings pu-ll throu-gh, I will suggest you leave your children with thier father, they are better off with him than you” Roland added, Those words got Evelyn mad and she reacted.
“all divorce proceedings had been cancelled, Roland I’m not leaving my children or my husband, they are my world and I love them so much, I don’t know what happened to me when you reappeared into my life, I guess it was because I was vulnerable and my marriage was vulnerable too but right now, I know how I’m feeling and I know that I don’t want you anymore, go back to your wife and children. Go and reconcile with them, your spouse and children should be your t©p priority, I’m sorry I lead you on but I have come to realize that I don’t love you, yes I once did but not anymore, I love my family and I’m never going to leave them ever again” Evelyn said calmly and Roland walked out in tears.
Evelyn and Frederick’s relationsh!p
Was not improving, They kept treating each other so casually, they had forgiven each other but was finding it ha-rd to forget all the wrong they committed against each other. Frederick couldn’t live with the fact that another man had t©uçhed Evelyn, his wife.
And Evelyn had not forgotten about Frederick philandering lifestyle and the worst was he lived with his lover for one year in thier matrimonial home.
But in all these, they both felt guilty and they battled with themselves everyday to erase the guilt they felt.
They had sleepless nights trying to find out why they felt guilty until the answer they sought dawned on them. They finally realized how wrong they had been. “two wrongs can’t make a right and the only way their marriage can work is if they avoid throwing blames at each other and forgive each other wholeheartedly.
“i supposed to be your strength when you are weak and also pu-ll you up when you fall. I feel betrayed and hurt by what you did that is going back to your ex, although I pushed you into his arms and I’m sorry, I have come to realize that we are both human and we are bound to make mistakes. It takes two to tangle, so for this marriage to work again, the both of us would have to want it to work; we have to work like a team, Evelyn, I still love you and would always love you, And I promise I will never be unfaithful to you again, I have learnt my lesson and I will never hurt you ever again” Frederick had told Evelyn one evening after dinner.
Evelyn couldn’t believe that her husband still loves him after everything that had happened between them. For a moment, she thought it was all a dream and was waiting for someone to wake her up. she never believed her husband, a chronic wom-anizer would ever promise to change because she saw in his eyes that he meant every word he had said.
