April has entered the picture. - Noah and April's story needs to be written, I believe. I think there is a lot of misunderstandings and Noah's past with Ashley didn't help his trust in women. Now Ryan - You will find out in next Chapter. Sorry. Love Billie
Tally made her way back to Ryan’s room. She sat down with Brenda on the lounge chair near the window. Paul was reading to Ryan by his bedside. She couldn’t help but reflect on Noah’s cold response to her call. Granted, he hadn’t known it was her. But for him to answer the phone like that, thinking it was his wife, April. Tally pushed those thoughts aside for now, reminding herself that her priority was to be there for Ryan and support him in any way she could.Just as Tally was bringing herself back to the present, Noah entered the hospital room, his face filled with worry and concern. Tally could see the tension in his eyes, and she knew that he was deeply affected by the news of Ryan’s accident.Noah rushed to Tally’s side, embracing her tightly. “Thank you for letting me know, Tally,” he whispered, his voice filled with genuine concern. “Is there any update on Ryan’s condition?”Tally shook her head, her voice trembling slightly. “Not yet, Noah. The doctors are doing everything they
Tally’s heart stopped. He didn’t know her? She felt a wave of panic crash over her as she processed Ryan’s words. How could he not recognize her? They were married, shared a life together, and she was pregnant with their child. She tried to hide her hurt and confusion, desperately searching for an explanation.“I’m Tally, your wife,” she managed to say, her voice trembling.Ryan’s brow furrowed in confusion, his eyes filled with a look she couldn’t determine. “I’m sorry, I just... I don’t remember… you.”Tally could feel tears welling up in her eyes again, but she fought to hold them back. She couldn’t break down now, not when Ryan needed her the most. She reached out and gently caressed his cheek, but he turned his head away from her hand.“It’s okay, Ryan. I should have thought.” She whispered, her voice cracking. “I’ll go get your doctor. The doctors will help us.”Brenda, who had been standing silently by their side, chimed in with a reassuring smile. “That’s right, Ryan. Tally is
Tally woke alone in a hospital bed. Confused and disoriented, she looked around the sterile hospital room. Then it all came back to her, the events leading up to her fainting spell. “Oh, my god. Please god, please don’t let it be a miscarriage.” The life inside her had been the one thing she could hold on to right now.As she lay there, the weight of the situation settled heavily on her shoulders once again. The thought of Ryan not remembering her, and now their unborn child, was almost unbearable. She felt a mix of fear, sadness, and hopelessness wash over her.Suddenly, the door to her room opened, and Doctor Monroe walked in. His calm presence brought a small sense of relief to Tally. He greeted her with a warm smile and sat down beside her bed.“How are you feeling?” he asked, concern evident in his voice.Tally answered honestly. “I’m scared.”The doctor nodded empathetically. “I won’t keep you waiting. Your baby is fine. But you are under a lot of stress and I would like you to s
Tally shifted towards the door and placed her bag on the chair. She then returned to his bed, feeling his eyes fixed on her every move.“What do you want to know?” Tally asked. Then, remembering, she added. “Nothing too personal until I speak to Dr. Monroe or Dr. Clark.”“Ashley didn’t mind sharing her views on our relationship,” Ryan let her know.Tally, even more angry, snorted. “Yeah, I’m sure. Let me guess. I’m a gold digger that tricked you into bed and used a pregnancy to get you to marry me?”When she saw his eyes reflect sorrow, Tally stopped remembering he still believed Ashley’s baby had been his. He still carried the weight of the miscarriage. But Tally was even more sure now that Ryan wasn’t the father. Also, she was playing into Ashley’s story. Because it was the theory she had accused Tally of the day she had married Ryan.Ryan eyed her. “She told me you faked the pregnancy, then faked the subsequent miscarriage? But I had already married you.”Why that little bitch. Tall
Ryan sat in the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on the door through which Tally had just exited the room. She hadn’t even bothered to turn around when he had called her name, instead muttering “Asshole” under her breath as she left. If she was attempting to impress him or prove Ashley’s claims false, she was failing miserably and doing a piss-poor job. A wry smile tugged at one corner of his mouth. He didn’t know if she was playing a smart game or not.Just as he anticipated his wife’s return, the door swung open. But it wasn’t Tally standing there. Instead, a hospital employee entered, carrying his less-than-appetizing lunch. Despite being in a private room, the quality of the hospital food sucked. The lady placed it on his table. “Thank you.” He said as she turned to leave the room.If he was being honest with himself, he was a little disappointed that Tally had left. Ryan wondered if that was a point in her favor.Ryan absentmindedly touched the bandage on his head. The thing was, he d
As Tally arrived at the house, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of detachment. It no longer felt like her home, but rather Ryan’s. She entered the quiet house and immediately went to take a long, soothing shower to wash away the stress of the day.After her shower, Tally laid down on the couch, feeling physically and emotionally drained. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind, but her phone buzzed with a message from Holly and Ethan, confirming they would see her in a few minutes.As Tally got up to let them in, her phone rang again. It was Ryan calling, but she ignored it. She wasn’t ready to confront him yet, still harboring resentment towards him for their current situation. She knew it wasn’t his fault but explain that to her feelings.Holly and Ethan arrived shortly after, bringing some much-needed energy and positivity into the house. They both hugged Tally before she walked them through to the kitchen. The food that they had brought smelled good.“How are you feeling,
It was only the next day they were to venture into the office. Ryan had offered to drive her. Tally had shaken her head. “We don’t do that.”He lifted an eyebrow at her. “Why?”“Because no one at the office knows about us being married.” Tally let him know, looking down at his hands.“Tally, look at me.” When she lifted his head. “Why?” he was suspicious of the fact that he had chosen not to tell anyone.Tally could see the look in his eyes. “It wasn’t your idea, but mine.”Ryan was surprised by this. “Then again, why?”Tally felt uncomfortable telling him the next bit. The old Ryan had known her history. This Ryan, with his missing memories, didn’t and he could see it in a different light now. “I was engaged just before we got married.”“Let me guess, I was the better catch, so when you saw your chance, you jumped at it.” Ryan's tone was cold again.“Not so you would guess, you arrogant ass. Get over yourself. The person you are now, I wouldn’t have picked you in a pink fit. See you a
Ryan didn’t come straight to their office. Tally wasn’t sure where he had got to.But before she could dwell on it too long, Ashley breezed into her office. “Where is Ryan?”“I have no idea.” Tally wasn’t Ryan’s keeper.Ashley gave a laugh. “Lost him already. But then you never really had him to start with.”“Listen Ashley, why don’t you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from under?” Tally was shocked by her own tart remark and she could see that Ashley was as well. What did the bitch think? She would just sit here and take her shit. “Go now.”“Why, you little bitc...” Ashley startedBut Tally cut her off. “I’m pretty sure Ryan told you to cut out your attitude at the workplace. Even without his full memories, I don’t think his reaction would be any different and he doesn’t just need my word about it. I know a few staff would be happy to come forward.” Tally leaned over her desk, staring at Ashley. “You know what, this isn’t high school anymore and I don’t have time for yo
