Lonely Bride

SARAH’S POV

Though I know bits and pieces, I want to know everything.

She started, and when she ended the story, tears were flowing from my eyes like never before.

I know she must be hurt. Until now, I was too selfish. I was just thinking about myself. I never try to see the other side of the coin. Till now, I was under the delusion that she had broken my heart and trust, but it was all the way around. I was the one who broke her trust. I was the one who did not trust my year-old friends and family.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I should’ve thought She can’t do that with me, but I never did, sadly.

Tears rolled down my face while I thought about all she had done for me.

I wanted to sob so hard.

“I am sorry.” That’s all I could say.

Guilt has completely clouded my thoughts, and I can’t even look into anyone’s eyes in this room.

“Let’s just forget about this and pretend it never happened.” I heard Eric’s voice.

“By the way, thanks to Mr. Luca, your manager. Because if he had not brought the cops, or, let’s say, an army of cops, we wouldn’t be alive by now” He spoke, rolling his eyes, and I felt even more guilty.

“By the way, I can see you are someone very important for our government haan?” He smirks, looking at me.

‘Well, honestly, it’s nothing like it. It’s just that he is too generous.’ I thought.

‘But I am grateful for Mr. Luca. I have been informed that I want to leave here. He had prepared everything for me as well. He was my Plan B.

But the moment I heard my father’s voice, I messaged him. My life was in danger; hence, he came to help me, as I had already sent my location previously, so finding me wasn’t an issue for him, I guess.

I looked at Eric. His look was, as always, stoic and scary, but somehow today he was trying not to scare anyone. He looked a little better than usual, and he tried to smile, which must be a difficult job for him, as I hardly saw him smiling.

He walked to the table and poured a glass of water for me, but he flinched a little when, by mistake, his one hand touched the other. And that explains how much pain he might be in.

“Didn’t the doctor ask you to stay at the hospital for two more days?” Alvera asked while taking the glass from his hand and glaring at him.

I looked at her in surprise, as did everyone else in the room. Her change of personality has shocked me somewhere.

But I can see she was worried about Eric, which she was carefully hiding behind her mocking tone.

“Were you keeping your tabs on me, princess?” Eric flirted with her openly. And that was even more surprising for me.

So far, I have seen him as a cold and composed person, and this funny and flirty side is all new to me.

I guess it’s only for Alvera.

She suddenly looked everywhere, but I cleared my throats when he took a few steps toward her.

I mean, I am not in the mood to see any PDA right now.

“Ahmm, can you call the doctor, please?” I asked, looking at them.

“Right away” Alvera ran for her life, and I smiled, looking at her, but did not say anything.

“I shall see you all in a bit.” Without looking at us, Erick follows her, and Sam scoffs while rolling her eyes.

“How are you feeling, Mrs. Hudson?” The doctor came in some time later and spoke while looking at me.

“I am fine. When can I walk? I want to see my husband.” I come to the point instantly.

“Mam, in a day or two, you should be able to walk.” He replied, and I nodded.

Just by thinking about Sean, my mood again dropped, and worries had taken over my entire thought process.

The doctor and Nathan were talking, but my eyes were stuck on the ceiling.

I wanted to call back to Nora and have a look at him again, but I knew I had just done it and I should not bother Nora like this, so I held myself back for something, but I have made up my mind to call him sometime again.

The whole day has passed while hearing the chit-chat of Sam, Nathan, and Bella. Erick visits now and then, but I have not used any words since I don’t know when.

The next day I woke up and tried to walk, and thankfully I could walk a little. Though stitching was painful, I could walk at least, and that was enough for me.

Now nothing can stop me from seeing Sean, and I did the same.

I got to know Eric left last night as he has to attend some meetings today, but Nathan and Sam stayed back with me, and finally, after my pasturing, they agreed to take me to the hospital.

It felt like it was taking ages for us to be there, but again, I couldn’t do anything too unwanted, so I waited.

When we arrived, I noticed a helicopter landing on the building’s terrace and a few guards waiting for us with wheelchairs.

Well, I won’t lie; I am not tired from traveling, and this wheelchair will surely Help. I sat on it without making any fuss about it, and one of the guards pushed it towards the lift.

We got off directly in the basement, and a car was waiting for us.

I got up and took my seat in the car while two more cars followed behind, and finally we started to our destination, which is the hospital.

Again, I felt aged, but finally, we reached, and again, a wheelchair came in front of my door while I took a seat back on it.

I was fingering my finger while my heartbeat was running crazy the closer I got to the ICU ward.

Finally, I can read VIP ICU.

We entered the room, and finally, I saw the person who has done so much for me.

My wheelchair stopped near the chair, and finally, I stood on my feet.

My eyes had stuck to my man, who was lying on this bed just because of me.

He was breathing slowly, and his eyes were sinking.
