I’m Dedicated To You

BRADLEY’S POV

I rushed to the hospital and I saw people casting different t glances at me wondering what was going on but I was too occupied to care. I do not care what they think of me. I just wanted to get to that girl and make sure she was okay…. and probably still here.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

I got to the floor where her room was located and I saw Frederick berating the doctor-in-charge of Georgina’s ward and I was a bit perplexed wondering what was going on but I decided to calm down and asked questions first.

“Bradley, are you here?” Frederick says seeing me and I just nod my head. I know I was supposed to be asking him what he was doing at the hospital himself in the first place but I was too occupied to care.”What’s going on?” I asked Frederick and he avoided my eyes like he was too hurt to say what was going on.

“I would ask Frederick, what the hell is going on? Where is my wife?” I asked more like I screamed and Frederick closed his eyes like he was guilty.

“I came here to tell her something but I found out….. she left,” Frederick said, not able to go out with the rest of his words, and I was confused. “What did you mean she left? Are you sure she is not being kidnapped?” I asked because at that time being kidnapped seemed like a more plausible excuse from what I was actually hearing.

How could Georgina leave me just like that?

“Yes sir, and she asked me to give you this and this,” the doctor said, handing me an iPad and a ring. Immediately the ring landed on my palm it felt so hot like a hot brass was placed on it.

“She says you should make sure to watch the video,” the doctor says and I don’t know why I suddenly feel scared about what I heard from the doctor about the video.

My hand shook a bit while I was trying to play the video but after calming myself down a bit before I went ahead to play the video and the first thing my eyes caught was her smile. Her sad smile.

“Oh, are you filming already,” I heard her panicked voice and I saw her effort to dress her hair well before she faced the camera again.

“Hi hubby, if you are watching this that only means one thing I’m gone…. no, that I am dying,” she says and she chuckles a little before she continues. “But that means I left you…. I am a bad person, right?” She asked with a low voice and she bowed her head slightly looking away from the camera and I heard someone urge her to continue.

“I know this might happen so suddenly but trust me I have put a lot of thought into it…this union is not working. I know you would also agree with me, I am no Cinderella that needs saving all the time so…. so why have I been a burden,” she says and tears welled up in her eyes.

I do not why the air in the hospital passageway felt suffocating at that time but I do not know why I was running out of breath. “I know this is a selfish act but I can assure you that this is for the best….. you deserve better,” she said and I scoffed.

I just want only her, so what was she saying?

“I am going to go for a while but I am going to come back….. maybe after I dyed my hair…how long does it take to change hair dye?” I asked the person that was filming the video and I heard her sigh when the person did not reply.

“Just don’t worry I will be back soon but you might choose not to wait…I would be cool with it,” she says her face beaming with smiles and I wondered how she could keep a straight face despite everything. “I am sorry for everything…. but don’t you think I am cool you can see my beautiful face for the last time….. that’s the reason why I am not crying,” she says and her voice was low like she was trying to force down something down her throat and I sighed. Of course, she was also not okay.

“I don’t know how my surgery is going to be and I don’t know if I am going to recover but take my word for it….. I am going to come back Bradley Hale, I promise you,” she says and the video ends.

That was it. That was her goodbye. The goodbye that I missed in person.

Maybe because I was too shocked by what was happening I turned around to leave without saying a thing.

“Mr. Hale, take this. It’s the divorce papers you signed unknowingly it has been processed through.. her friend delayed it,” the doctor says handing the file over and I nod my head at him taking the file and I start walking off with so many thoughts running through my head.

“Where are you going? Are you going to go find her?” Frederick asked and I scoffed like I heard funny questions. Where am I going to find somewhere that I do not want to be found?

“Where would I find someone that does not want to be found?” I asked and Frederick sighs at my words. “How are you feeling?” He asked and that question got me thinking..

How am I feeling? But I knew the question was not answerable because I don’t know. I also don’t know how I am fairing so I hop

“Man, don’t take it too hard yourself man,” you are going to be fine,” Frederick says, patting me on my shoulder but I just snicker because his words sound so unreal to me. Who am I ever going to be alright with?

“She left me, Man, with just a video,” I say and I burst into sardonic laughter because I knew I could not hold it against her. She waited for me till the very end but as always I always come to look for her late.

I came late 14 years ago and now too. Maybe she was right, our union was good, someone was lacking but I was definitely the lacking one.

“I am sure she would be back,” Frederick says and a knot tied in my heart with the fear of time. She forgot me over time after that incident 14 years ago so I am scared that the same thing would happen now.

“She might forget about me again, Man,” I say and I felt myself getting emotional because I know the wait is going to suffocate me again and this time I might not be able to withstand it.

“Didn’t that happen before but you guys were still able to get back together, I don’t think that’s going to change this time around so I hope you do not lose hope,” Frederick says and I nod my head.

His words for not actually make me feel better but knowing that I might meet her again someday actually lightened up my mood.

“Yeah, you are right,” I said, my voice crystal clear but sounding cold. “She is going to come back,” I say remembering a tiny detail of the video and I smiled knowing I just underestimated Georgina, she definitely left a clue.

“She is going to come back to me but before that, I must clear off the garbage I have around me,” I say walking into my car and Frederick rushed up to me in fear that I might do something outrageous but I just smirked.

I was not going to drive myself to death but pay back the betrayals in their coin.
