I’m Dedicated To You

“Hubby, are you awake?”I asked the obvious question because I was too overjoyed and I jumped on him and I heard him whimper in pain and I quickly lifted my weight on it.

“I am sorry I was just too overwhelmed just now,” I say and I saw my mother-in-law glared at me from the corners of my eyes.

“Oh my God my son is finally back” I heard Bradley’s mother say in between sobs I shake my head at her and I think of some call. the attention of doctors because they came rushing in no time.

After a series of tests run on him the doctor reported that he is fine and he is recovering.

“For the last time Douglas I don’t want to hear a word from you,”Bradley warned Douglas, who has not stopped talking since he and Frederick came to visit.

“But the girls are entertained,”Douglas debated, referring to me and Olivia that have been smiling ear to ear and also Victoria who has been giving the man cold shoulder.

Are the two having a couple’s fight?

“I think that is enough Douglas, Bradley is still recovering so he needs to have a lot of rest,” Frederick says and Douglas grumbles.

“I’m also sick but no one seems to care”Douglas complained, raising his hands showing us more precisely showing Victoria and that’s when I believed what Olivia said that day to be true.

“I’m sorry but we have to check Mr. Hale’s recovery now,” a doctor says walking into the room with a nurse and they went ahead with their work.

After the doctor finished examining Bradley he told us that he is fine now and we don’t need to worry.

“But can I see you Miss Grey?” the doctor whose face doesn’t look familiar asked and I nodded standing up.

“It’s Mrs, she is married now”Bradley corrected and the man apologized but I just threw a glare his way before walking out of the room.

After following the doctor to the rooftop the autumn evening breeze blows at me and I know that winter is coming soon. I started getting wary of him because the woman’s prophecy still lives rent-free in my head but the man stopped abruptly and I can’t help but bump into him and he apologized for my clumsiness and I accepted the apology anyways.

“Did you remember me?” the man asked.

I looked at the man in front of me clad in a doctor’s gown with average height and he should be in his early 30s shakes my head when his face doesn’t click.

“I am sorry I don’t think I know this face, “I say because I was even wondering why the doctor in charge of Bradley’s recovery asked to see me.

“I thought so, Iam the one that diagnosed you some months ago,” he says and I stare at him confused.

“I bet your brain is telling you we haven’t met,” he says looking into my confused eyes “That is one of the symptoms that tell you that your condition has worsened” he continues and I know that he isn’t lying.

“I will be fine,”I mutter after a long silence looking at the sun setting.

“But are you really fine?” he asked me but I avoided his eyes “You can still help yourself, Miss Grey, you can still get it treated”.

“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life fighting for my life on a sick bed, moreover I still need to find someone, “I say remembering the note I got 5 months ago.

“I don’t think there is anything worth….” he was saying but we heard a noise behind us and when we turned we saw Frederick with a boyish grin on his face.

“Sorry I came here to have some drag, didn’t know you guys were here,” he says, smiling innocently, showing us the cigarettes he was holding. I can say that this is the first time I’m seeing Frederick smiling that wide.

Since we already have a visitor, the doctor I still haven’t remembered his name and he didn’t also tell me which I knew he did on purpose excuse himself by leaving the rooftop and that leaves me with Frederick.

After staying at the rooftop for some time thinking Frederick will ask me anything since I’m sure he heard some details but he didn’t say a thing so, I decided to leave the rooftop but his voice halted my steps.

“Don’t you think Bradley should be informed of whatever is going on?” he asked. I looked at him and I clutched my cloth in fear.

“I… I…”I was stuttering but Frederick cut me off.

“Tell him when you still don’t let me do it for you,” Frederick says, leaving me alone on the rooftop and I sighed knowing Frederick was right.

“It feels really good to embrace you like this,”Bradley mutters, squeezing me into his body.

“You are still recovering hubby, don’t hurt yourself” I cautioned him.

“Look at me and tell me I look sick,” Bradley says and I looked into his tired gray eyes.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“You look, rough hubby” I teased, touching his face that has a little mustache now because he has shaved for days.

“My wife is a dog-face person” he also teased and I snuggled into his embrace but I felt him whimper in pain and I quickly moved away.

“Hubby about that accident, is there something you are not telling me?”I inquired because cleaning him up for the past few days I noticed some bruises and wounds on him which I know isn’t from the accident but Bradley didn’t say anything so I didn’t raise any more questions.

It is like Bradley is hiding something from me?
