Obsession and desire novel Chapter 49

The hours pass slowly, Camille has gotten up a couple of times from her chair, she wants to talk to Andy, but every time she says a word to him, he just ignores her, he couldn't believe that he still doubted his loyalty, However, even if he didn't want to, she would be there accompanying him until when necessary, the advantage she had of being his girlfriend helped him to be absent from the company for as long as he wanted.
Camille goes to the cafeteria, and buys two coffees, one for her and one for Andy, she knew he needed it, and it would be a way to break the ice. When she returned, he seemed to have a chip that kept him stationary in the same position.
“Look Andy, have this coffee- she passes him the glass, but he doesn't receive it.”
“Well Andy, no more, please! Don't you realize the situation we are in for you to continue with that fucking attitude? Receive the fucking coffee” Andy takes the coffee and throws it into a garbage basket that was next to the chairs and continues without addressing him. word, that act made Camille automatically change her countenance and fill more with anger.
“You know what Andy? I'm leaving, I'm seriously trying to be with you, but I feel stupid, you haven't spoken to me for hours, I know you're affected by what's happening to Zoé, but I'm just giving you my support, I don't understand why what you are like with me”
“You don't have to be here, you can get out of here, Zoé is my daughter, not yours, and she only needs me to be with her, do you understand?”
“It seems to you that your money has clouded your brain. But with me no more, I can't stand you!”
“Goodbye Camille Ibis, oh and please comply with your working hours. Who gave you the permission to evade your obligations?” Andy looks at her challengingly, it had been the first time he had addressed her all afternoon.
“You're unfriendly, really, it's just that I can't with you anymore, I'm leaving, do what you want”.
Camille leaves the waiting room, crosses her arms while walking angrily, Andy's attitude was becoming unbearable, and if what he wanted was to be left alone, well, she would be granting him his wish, she was not going to force him to nothing.
Andy looks out of the corner of his eye as Camille leaves and does not return, he unlocks her phone and simply leaves it like that, he is not interested in looking for her either, it makes him happy that she is by his side, and although she gave him the explanations of what happened on Friday with his friend, he kept thinking that a woman should not act that way, he had the perception that women should act in a submissive way, having male friends was not the most appropriate for a healthy relationship, his bad thoughts were causing the break with Camille again, they had already been in the same situation for three months, and he didn't seem to understand.
Eight hours had already passed since Zoé entered surgery, it was a rather difficult procedure, and she still had not received any response from the doctors, until she heard a call that included her name through a loudspeaker.
“Family of the minor Zoé Alf, approaching the entrance to the operating room”
Andy runs out to where they called him and there a doctor with a tired and worried face is waiting for him.
“Mr. Alf, I'm Newman, the urologist on duty. How is he?”
“Well doctor, how is the girl? As I came all?”
“Well, unfortunately not very well, we had a complication in the surgery, when we were operating on her we realized that she has other types of genetic malformations that perhaps were not detected in the medical exams, her blood pressure rose a lot and well unfortunately he has had a bad reaction to the surgery, we have to wait for it to pass, I'm very sorry Mr. Alf”.
“ What do you mean by that doctor?” Andy's voice was broken, his completely cloudy eyes calmed out of mercy with what he was telling him
“ Well, she is very ill, her prognosis is reserved, we have been trying to do something for her for many hours, but she is very small, her body cannot withstand many surgeries or interventions, we cannot do anything, for now we just have to wait for how you react, we are really sorry”.
Andy upon hearing those words grabs his head, tears imminently begin to roll down his cheeks, his crying becomes choked, and he curses to himself, he does not stop lamenting, the sadness and anguish that are now invading him they are going bankrupt.
“Because she? Why Zoe? Damn why my girl?”  Andy kneels on the floor knocked down by the pain he feels, he is desperate after hearing the news that the doctor gave him, at that moment he regretted having thrown Camille away, because it was when he most needed one of his hugs or his consolation.

Andy just prayed to heaven that her daughter woke up and reacted well to the medications and everything else the doctors humanly possible were doing for her.
With a broken heart, and his face wet, Andy leaves the hospital to go home, Orlando does not even dare to ask him what is happening, but he can tell that his boss has a wounded soul, the whole way was absolute silence, Andy's face had become a poem of sadness, he could not contain the desire to cry and the feeling was such that he was not even able to describe what he felt.
Camille returned to work the next day, although she did not know anything about Zoé's situation, she felt very bad with Andy for everything that was happening, but as always her pride was breaking the barriers of love, and although he had already unblocked her She did not dare to call him or write to him after the harsh words he had said to her the day before, but the situation made her completely lose concentration and she felt an emptiness settle inside her, she wanted to be with him in this difficult moment. , but his way of being did not even allow him to get close, however he decided to write to him.
“Andy, good morning, I hope Zoé's surgery went well, how many with me, I think of you, I think of you”.
Andy, upon receiving that message, does not even flinch, it seems that his feelings were on standby, he was already waiting to be allowed to see his daughter, Raquel was already aware of the situation thanks to Orlando, because Andy had not even loved him receive the calls, or answer the messages to tell him what was happening.
So, she arrived at the hospital to give her company, Andy, on the other hand, remained in his chair waiting for the moment when he would allow him to see Zoé, it was what he longed for the most.
“Son for heaven's sake, I don't like to see you like this, talk to me, I beg you, tell me what they said to the girl”.
“Mom, Zoé's surgery didn't go well, you know? we can lose it!” Andy's voice every time he spoke was more broken.
“Son, it can't be, there must be something that can be done, look, I'll try to communicate with my contacts who are doctors, I'll tell your father and I don't care that we have to give all our fortune, we will do the impossible to save our little girl”
“Mom, we are in the best children's hospital in the country, the doctors are the best, you know how much Zoé's treatment is costing, but that is not a problem, it is that money is not the problem, you know that everything is bought, The problem is that my daughter doesn't want to react, her body is very small for everything she has, in some medical tests it came out that Keyra was taking drugs during pregnancy, she smoked and drank the damn thing and I didn't even notice, it caused her a very big damage to the girl, now look, my daughter does not respond to anything” Andy puts his hand to his mouth and emits a loud moan with his hoarse voice, every time he spoke of his daughter his insides tore apart.
“Son, trust your prayers, the girl will be fine, however, I know that you are wrong and that your head does not work in the same way, I will take care of looking for the best specialists, you will see that your daughter is going to get out of all this”.
“Thank you mom, it's what I love the most, you don't know the pain I feel when I see her in the situation she is in, if it were in my hands, I would give all my money for her life, my kidneys, my life for hers, but you know that there are things as human beings that no matter how much we want we can't control, and that makes me feel very empty”.
“Son, I know that the situation with the girl is affecting you too much, but I also know that there are more reasons to be like this, I can be sure that it is about Camille, why aren't they okay with her? your mood improves”.
“I don't know mom, it's that there are attitudes of hers that I can't deal with and the truth is that at this moment I prefer to be alone and not in discussions with her, the truth is yesterday I kicked her out of the clinic, she was by my side all the time and I couldn't even talk to him, because the truth is that the words don't come out, it's something that I can't control”.
“Son, everything that is happening inside you is because you are affected by the latest events that have happened in your life, since you were a child, you have suffered too much, from the moment your father abandoned us, until the moment you found out about him. that Zoé does not carry your blood, but Camille is the woman you love, she wants to be with you more than anyone, but no conscious human being should be willing to put up with rejections”.
“I know that mom, thanks for your advice, but at this moment I can tell you that my heart is confused and that before I can hurt her even more, I prefer to shorten the distance with her, if she understands me, I'm sure she'll wait for me, otherwise it is because I never love myself, as I said”.
