Lonely Bride

Sean’s POV

Fear of losing me.

So, I guess that is it.

This is the end!

I opened my mouth to say something when a sharp iron taste hit my tongue.

I am bleeding.

A small smile came to my lips.

“S…r.. h.” I wanted to say so many things to him, but nothing came out.

I wanted him to take care of her. But I can’t.

Tears pooled in my eyes.

I wanted to tell him to take care of my babies, but I couldn’t.

“Sa..” I again spoke, but nothing more than that.

I pressed his palm against Conway’s, but nothing came out of my mouth.

I wanted to tell him to take me to Sarah. I wanted to tell him I wanted to see my babies.

“I will kill you if you close your eyes, bastard.” I heard him say:

I don’t know why, but I felt like laughing. I smiled while my eyes were still half-closed.

With difficulty, I open my eyes.

His eyes were teary, and he was shaking his head to say something, but now it felt like I was deaf.

It’s silent.

Everything is silent.

A smile broke my lips as I looked at his face.

What a feeling! I finally saw fear in his eyes. A man who does not have a word for fear in his dictionary is finally scared.

Though dying in your best friend’s arms is quite relaxing,

How I wish I had just gotten to look at my babies once, but destiny has its own plans.

Tears were flowing from both of our eyes. He was shaking his head in no, and I know what he means by that, but this time I am helpless.

How I wish I could do what you want, my friends, but this time I am sorry I can’t.

I wanted to tell him my last goodbye , but I am sure he read my thoughts like always.

I know he will take care of my family until his last breath.

With this thought, I finally closed my eyes.

Sarah’s pov

When I open my eyes, a strong light hits them, and I close them and again open them slowly to get gadgets with light.

I roam my eyes.

The place looked familiar, but then it hit me.

I am back at the clinic.

All the memories hit me hard.

I touch my flat belly.

My babies? Where are my babies?

Panicked, I looked around but found no one.

Where is everyone? Where are my kids?

I jerk myself up, and a sharp pain shoots through my abdominal area and hand. I looked down; saline was attached to the back of my palm, and something was bothering me on my face.

I touch it with my other hand and notice it’s an oxygen mask.

I tried to take it out, but I felt too weak. I finally took it off and took a large amount of air into my lungs.

I look up, hearing a voice. Mam, please don’t sit like this. You might break your stitches.”

She pushed me back to my old position, and ignoring her, I spoke, “Where is Sean? And where are my babies?” I asked worryingly.

Ma’am, your babies are fine. Look there.” She painted a curtain and pushed it back, and finally, two little munchkins came into my sight. Both were sleeping in a glass box.

“Are they alright?” I asked, still looking at them.

I noticed a few machines were connected to their box, which Dr Yusuf had already informed us of.

They are premature; hence, they need life support right now.

“They are fine. Nothing to worry about” I heard her voice but did not look away.

“Is it a girl or boy?” I asked, still looking at them, and a smile never left my lips.

I wanted to run to them, shower them with kisses on their faces, and hug them tightly.

Tears brimmed in my eyes when a happy spark ran through my body.

So that’s how a mother feels once she sees her babies for the first time.

“Both. You have a son and a daughter who is two minutes younger than your son.” She spoke, and finally, I sobbed looking at them.

But my smile stopped, and my mind went black.

I looked at her, who was smiling but then looked at me in a questioning manner.

“Sean. Where is Sean?” I asked, and as if I had asked something unusual, she went pale.

Her gulping did not go unnoticed by me.

“I asked you something. Where is my husband?” I press each word.

Looking at her expression, my heart was sinking deep into darkness.

I was getting the vibe that was soothing us wrong.

“I asked you something.” I spoke in a louder tone.

“Let me just call Dr Yusuf, Saying she ran away while leaving me alone with my deadly thoughts.

Why did she run like this?

Is everything okay with Sean? Where is he?

My mind was fogged with questions, and my frustration was getting to its peak when I was not getting my answers.

My eyes were stuck at the door waiting for someone to come, and after some time, the doctor, Yusuf, came running.

“How are you feeling, Mrs. Hudson?” He came to my bed and spoke.

“Where.. is.. my.. husband? Why is he not here when his wife and kids need him the most?” My voice broke in the middle while a sob broke through my vocal cord.

I know he won’t leave us like this. He was there with me when no one else was. I always misunderstood him.

I know he loves us so much, and he won’t leave us like this if he is fit and fine.

And the thought that something has happened to him is making me numb.

God has taken everyone who loves, but not Sean. Please do not take him.

Please, please don’t do anything wrong.

He is my everything, and if anything happened to him, I might not survive.

He has done so much for me.

We haven’t even lived our lives. I want to be with him. I want to live my life with him and get old with him and my kids around.

“Please tell me he is fine. Please,” I beg him.

He took a deep breath, and each second was killing me from inside.

“He is fine till now.” Finally, he spoke, and I closed my eyes in relief, but then I caught up until now.

“What do you mean till now?” I stutter.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“He got two shots, and one touched his heart.” The doctor spoke, and pity was the only thing I noticed on his face.

“And?” I asked further.

“He had massive blood loss and later internal bleeding. His blood pressure has dropped; hence, he has gone into a coma.” He replied, and I felt as if a cold wind had hit my heart.

My body rose, and I shivered thinking about him.

My body started shaking, and I could hear some beeping sounds, but right now I am least interested in anything.

“Mrs. Hudson, look at me.” He called out while I was feeling like I wasn’t getting any air, and I felt breathless.

“Sarah, look at me. Look at you, babies; look here.” He tabbed my cheeks, but I was long gone.
