My Ex-wife, My Destination

Luke’s P. O. V. I take a deep breath, my heart racing with anticipation, and ask, “Will you marry me?” With trembling hands, I stroke the ring, brimming with excitement, “Is your answer yes?” She beams at me. “Of course, idiot. It’s a big yes.” She giggles, her eyes sparkling. “That’s why I’m wearing the ring..” Overwhelmed with the joy, as I try to rise from the bed to hug her. But I hiss in pain, feeling the sharp sting of my injuries. “Fuck! Aa…” Daisy’s expression instantly changes from joy to concern, and she gently pushes me back onto the bed. “Luke, please don’t strain yourself. You need to rest and recover,” she scolds me in a soft tone, caressing my cheeks with her thumbs. I nod, settling back onto the bed, but I can’t wipe the grin off my face. “I’m fucking so happy, Daisy. You’ll be my wife soon and forever.” I can’t believe she is giving me a chance to become her husband again. Last time, I was a cruel husband, but this time, I’ll be the loving husband she truly deserves. I have made her cry enough in the past, and now, no matter what, I won’t let a single tear roll down her cheeks because of me. She nods, beaming. “I know. I know. You’re happy, but don’t forget you have just met with an accident.” She leans in and presses her lips gently to my bandaged forehead, her eyes filled with concern. “It must be hurting you a lot, right?” she asks in a soft tone, caressing my forehead with her thumb. “It was. But not after your kiss.” I pass a smile to her, and she returns it. “Come here, baby.” I gesture to my side, stretching my arm. “I’m dying to be in your arms, but we can’t cuddle right now. It might hurt you,” she says with a worried look, but I can see the longing in her eyes. Damn! This woman cares for me so much that it hurts. “Taking you in my arms can never hurt me, my love,” I respond with honesty. “I just need you near me.” She hesitates for a moment, then carefully slides onto the bed and lies down beside me. She rests her head on my shoulder, her body close but not pressing too hard. A smile spreads across my face, feeling her close to me. “This is perfect,” I whisper, wrapping my arm around her as best as I can. “I just needed you here.” It is a feeling of utter contentment whenever I hold her in my arms. We lie there in silence for a while, feeling each other’s soothing presence. The pain and the memories of the accident fade away, replaced by the overwhelming love I feel for her. And damn! She fit so perfectly in my arms as if she’s always belonged there. I break the peaceful silence, curious about her change of heart. “You were so angry with me when I came to your apartment. How did you figure out that I wasn’t to blame?” I ask, baffled by her sudden understanding. “Aunt Eva told me everything when I visited to pick up Hope…” Daisy starts to explain, but as the door clicks open, she immediately pulls away from my arms, making me feel empty. I want her back in my arms right now. As a nurse steps in, carrying a tray with some medical supplies, Daisy stands beside my bed and her cheeks turn red. She looks so adorable. “Mam, please go outside. The patient needs to rest now.” “Sure-” I cut off Daisy’s words, glaring at the nurse. “No. She’ll stay with me here. She is my soon-to-be wife.” I deny in a firm tone, causing the nurse’s eyes to widen slightly. “Luke, it’s fine.” As Daisy says, I frown at her. “No, it’s not. I need you to be with me.” I turn my gaze towards the nurse and state in a grim tone. “She isn’t going anywhere.” “Alright. I just need to give you some painkillers.” As the nurse steps forward, Daisy steps aside to allow her to work. When the nurse leaves after giving me painkillers, Daisy shoots me a glare. “You just scared off the nurse.” “How can she ask you to go out?.” I take her hand in mine and gaze deeply into her grey eyes. “Your presence makes me feel better than any painkiller, Butterfly. If you want me to recover fast, don’t leave my side.” She lets out a small laugh, shaking her head at my stubbornness. “You always know how to get your way, don’t you, Mr Anderson?” She questions, raising her brows at me. “I just know what I need, and right now, it’s you.” I press my lips on her hand. Daisy smiles and sits back down beside the bed, holding my hand. “Alright, I’ll stay.” She leans in to kiss my forehead. “But you have to promise me you’ll take it easy and listen to the doctors. No more scaring the nurses.” She instructs me in a serious tone.

“Okay, fine.” I give her a meek nod. “But if they try to keep you away from me, then I can’t promise that I won’t scare them.” I make myself clear to her. “You’re unbelievable, Luke.” She lets out a chuckle, caressing my hand, and I just stare at her. “What? I just want to keep you by my side, Butterfly,” I reply, my voice filled with conviction. “You’re my everything now.” Daisy’s expression softens, and she leans in closer. “I’m not going anywhere, Luke.” Whenever I gaze at her, I’m struck by the thought of how I’ve been so fortunate to have found and deserved someone as amazing as she is. “I love you, Daisy,” I confess, moving closer to her, and she takes a deep breath as my warm breath caresses her lips.

“I love you more, Luke.” She captures my lips in a gentle kiss. I grasp her hair and deepen the kiss, pulling her even closer and losing myself in her.

Finally, everything is alright between us.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
