I Married My Grumpy Patient! 26/ A CRAZY ENCOUNTER
I pushed Moore off me with all the strength I had left and ran off to our suite. When I was finally in the room I locked the door and slid down it. What sort of game was he playing? Why was he doing this? On one hand: He claimed that he would never love me and that he loved Louisa dearly and on the other hand, he claimed that he could not lose me. What am I to Moore? Where do I stand in this drama?Moore demanded that I stay away from but then he willingly pulls me close. He wanted me to stay out of his issues but I constantly needle in mine. What sort of lukewarm relationship did we share and why did he think that he had the right to interfere?!“Amber, are you in there? Are you—”“What’s that to you?!” I spat and turned around. “Why do you care Moore?!” I demanded sharply. “Why?!” I added and let a sob escape my lips. “This contract will end in a few days; So why are you doing this? Why are you playing with me and my feelings?!” I asked him in a hoarse. voice. “Amber...” “Too m

Once the entire store room was as silent as a graveyard, I gulped and emerged from my place behind the baggage. I glanced around the room and ran out of the store room like a mad woman. I must have been so engrossed with escaping that I stumbled right into one of the men. It took me a few moments to register that I had slammed into one of the men from the storeroom. He grabbed my hand and I screeched and dragged and pulled because I was not about to die there. “Help me! Someone help me!” I cried for help. The man stopped, he turned around and his blue eyes glared at me with anger, before I could react, he backhanded me and I fell face first and gases harshly. My eyes watered with tears and I felt my fists tighten. The man reached out to grab my hair but I ducked and bit his leg. A loud grunt escaped from his lips and crouched to my height. “You are going to pay for that slut!” He snapped at me and I spat in his face. He gave me a death glare and wiped the spit off his face. “You l

“Marissa?” I muttered and stood up, she seemed to be shaking like a leaf, her hair was drenched and her eyes bloodshot. She could barely stand on her feet “They caught me, almost killed me. But then they saw you, and they left; just like that.” Marissa informed us sharply. Her eyes were glazed over and I watched as she ran her hands over her face. “Who is Amber?” She asked again and wrapped her arms around herself. The purple fleece she was wearing hugged her skin. “Are you okay?” Moore checked in and walked towards her. “Don’t change the subject.” The dark-haired girl spoke and glanced between us. “Why were you calling Louisa, Amber? Who is that?” She questioned with a calm tone. I sighed. The last thing I wanted to do was explain things to this woman. “Amber is a nickname.” I dismissed before Moore could form words. He raised an eyebrow at me. I frowned and plopped down on the couch. “This discussion should be the last thing going on,” I added sharply and rested my head on the wa

I shut my eyes and sucked in the relief that washed over me. I stumbled out of the room and into the living room where the police had invaded. The men had been apprehended. Moore and I locked eyes but I looked away immediately. I swallowed and felt my button lip quiver. That was so close. never; Never in my life had I imagined that something like that could happen to me. Lucia had a lot of explaining to do though, but I knew that Moore would not believe me if I just attacked her with my words, she wouldn't budge either, I needed to speak with Carlos first. He had been so nervous and I was sure that he knew something. I wrapped my arms around myself and allowed my breathing to return to normal. This entire trip had been a hectic adventure and I could not wait for it to end. "Are you okay?" I glanced in the direction of the voice and almost stumbled at the fact that Moore was practically in my face. I stood straight t

I scrambled to my feet; Completely unbothered by the pain in my torso. I practically soaked in Lucia's blood, I knelt beside her, "Moore! Moore! Lucia's not moving!" I practically screeched and locked eyes with Moore who had been laying on the ground unmoving, I felt sharp jabs in my heart at the thought that he was in the same state as her. I crawled into him and wiped my tears away, the mascara I had hurriedly put on a few hours ago, sneered across my face before I could break out into another set of sobs, Moore's eyes opened and he let out a breath. Moore sat up and I felt relief wash over me. It took him a few moments I register his hearings but when he was finally settled; I felt his arms grab me and he looked over me frantically. "Are you alright, Amber?"Moore asked and I nodded slowly. Moore's face contorted into confusion, he tilted his head at me and I swallowed thickly, my hands went to my hair and I tugged on it slowly, The dark-haired man must have noticed my distress b

We stayed like that for a few moments before we got back in the car. Neither of us spoke a word to each other throughout the drive to the hospital. I didn't trust my voice not to crack and Moore was avoiding eye contact all through. Relief washed over me when the car pulled to a halt, the entire ride had been suffocating. I glanced up and realized that we had arrived at the hospital. I removed my seat belt and got out of the car; Following Moore's trail into the hospital, although I was a psychologist, I hated hospitals with every fiber of my being. Whenever I stepped into one, the image of my father being pulled out, lifeless, flashed over my eyes countless times. “Hello, My friend was brought in a few hours ago, Her name is Lucia Dawn, do you know how she is doing?” Moore asked sharply. I ran my hands through my hair and waited beside him. The nurse behind the desk frowned. I watched as she spared us a glance before she quietly replied. “I’ll confirm

“I’m not leaving you.” I matched his surprised gaze and took a step forward. “I’m not going away when you need me the most.” I deadpanned. “What makes you think I need you?” Moore retorted. “Your eyes... The way they stare at me... The sadness, pain, and frustration in them, every single thing about you Moore...” I ran my hands through my hair and glanced around. “I-I’ve never felt like this before! But I know that I don’t want to leave you, I can’t leave you.” I confessed in one breath. “Really?” Moore broke out in a breathless chuckle. “And when these twenty-five days are up?” My head snapped up at that. “You’ll go. You’ll go far way and I will never see you again.” Moore grabbed me and I yelped. “So don’t stand here and tell me that you are going to stay when you are just a few days from leaving!” Moore snapped and pushed me. I stumbled but regained my bearings just in time.“Everyone leaves Amber. Dad. Mom. Louisa. Christine will get t

We pulled away from each other slowly. I could still taste the mint in my mouth when I glanced away from him and nervously tapped my feet against the ground. "So...um, what's next?" I asked without making eye contact, I heard a sigh and turned to look at Moore. "We've got to go home." He explained softly. "And Lucia?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I was surprised that he would leave her there, especially because of how upset he looked earlier. "She'll be fine." Moore offered and dusted his clothes, "Petunia will be here anytime soon," I nodded in response to his words even though I had no clue who petunia was, she was probably a relative of Lucia. "So, do you want to grab a coffee while I book the flight?" Moore asked softly. I blinked at his kindness and stumbled back in shock. A small chuckle brought me back to my senses. "Are you always this dramatic?" Moore asked with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and jogged back into the hospital.

I Married My Grumpy Patient! 163- FINALE
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER "Mom, do you think I'll do well today?" George asked, a touch of nervousness in his voice. I paused in adjusting the collar of his soccer jersey and turned around to look at him and myself in the mirror. I understood where his fears came from. George had a crucial tournament to play in, and he was the star player of his team. That came with a lot of expectations from people, which put a lot of responsibilities on his eighteen-year-old shoulders. I smiled warmly at him, making sure he saw years of love and support in my eyes that weren't going away for any reason. "You've trained hard, George. You'll go out there and give it your all. No matter the outcome, your father and I will always be proud of you." He grinned. "Thanks, Mom," he gave me a hasty kiss on the cheek and sat on the bed to put on his boots. The pride in my heart swelled as I watched him tie his shoelaces. "Hey Mom, how long does it take Dad to retrieve my soccer jacket? I'm almost finished
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 162- OUR LITTLE GEORGE
"Hey...you okay?" Moore asked softly, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. "I'm fine. I guess the spin on the beach has me a little dizzy. But I loved it." Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm bluish glow in the room. I sat on our bed, resting my back on a pile of pillows Moore had earlier stacked against the headboard. Moore lay beside me. His arms surrounded my swollen belly protectively, and his fingers made circular ticklish patterns. They made me giggle. We marveled at the miracle growing within me. Our baby, our little bundle of joy. "George is going to be such a lucky child," Moore's s voice held awe and tenderness. We had talked about naming him and agreed to name him George after my father. "And you, my love, will be an amazing mother. And you're an amazing psychologist. What do you think about practicing again after George is born?" I let out a soft sigh in agreement, but a hint of uncertainty lingered in my eyes. "I don't know, Moore. Pract
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 161- MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
"Come on up, Amber. We have to head home." He rose and held out his hand towards me. I shook my head. "I can manage. You go and start the car. Get it running. I just need a moment to breathe," I uttered. I could barely recognize my voice. It was rusty, and I felt pains in the back of my throat when I spoke. Scrambling to my feet, I sighed. "Well. This is it. I'm only leaving this place, but you're forever in my heart." The scorching desert sun bore down on my weary shoulders as I stumbled towards the car. The weight of grief still sat heavy in my chest. All I wanted to do was escape the suffocating air of this wilderness. As I neared the car, my vision blurred, and the world around me swirled into an incoherent mess of colors. Darkness crept in, swallowing my consciousness, and I crumpled to the ground. "Amber!" I heard Moore's panicked cry a distance away, and the shuffling of his footfalls as he rushed to my side to gather my fragile form into his arms. "Amber, Amber are
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 160- YOU AND ME, FOREVER
"No, Moore," I replied, my voice heavy with determination. "She's cost me too much. We did the same with Louisa, and she only escaped. I won't let Alicia slip through our fingers again." "Amber, we will make sure the police do their job well if that's what you're afraid of. But we can't take the laws into our hands just like that. Let's follow due processes," Moore's voice pleaded with me from the driver's seat, his words laced with reason and the hope for justice. He tried to convince me that we should turn Alicia over to the police, and let them handle the consequences of her actions. But I couldn't bring myself to comply. Not this time. The weight of our past, the pain Alicia had inflicted upon me, resurfaced with every word. Forgiveness and love had always been one-sided, a futile attempt on my part to salvage what was lost. Now, it was time for me to take control of my destiny. And that will begin by making sure that nobody, starting with Alicia, could ever hurt me or my love
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 159- LET US START AGAIN, FAR WAY.
Moore was quiet. I couldn't blame him. My heart was too heavy, and what I was feeling could not be expressed in words. But his care, concern, and need to make me feel better warmed my heart. The door swung open, and the person responsible for our abduction finally stepped into the room. "It's about time you showed yourself, coward," Moore bit out at the approaching figure who didn't spare him a glance. She was focused on me. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes locked with familiar orbs. No way. This could not be. But it was: Alicia, my step-sister. The one who had torn our family and separated me from Moore all those years ago. The mix of anger and fear welled up inside me, but I held my ground, refusing to show any sign of weakness. "Well, well, well! We meet again, sister," she sneered and cackled, swinging a silver Swiss Army paring knife. I was sorely tempted to scream at her and wipe that smirk off her face, but I pulled myself together. Don't give her satisfaction. Alic
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 158- I HATE THIS. ALL OF IT
Mum and Christie… They were dead. How? Why? My heart pounded and a pool of tears found its way to the back of my eyes. They threatened to pour as I stared at Moore hastily driving towards the house. The tires screeched and he drove past other cars. With the way he drove, every other person could tell it was an emergency — an emergency because I needed to see him. I wasn't able to believe it. No, my dreaded thoughts couldn't have come to reality. Mum and Christie couldn't be dead. I'm sure the call was a prank call. I was excited yesterday — I was problem-free. It couldn't have happened. My Christie will be safe. But then it rang in my head again. If Christie was in danger, then it was my fault. I was probably the worst mother on earth. We left France in the morning. We took the next flight back here. I needed to be sure the call was fake; I needed Mum and Christie here with me. Thankfully, Moore's car came to a halt in our compound and I rushed out. I picked up my heels
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 157- THEY ARE DEAD...
I exhaled as I held onto the luggage. After Mum eavesdropped on the conversation, she offered to protect Christie. She insisted Moore and I went on a honeymoon A weird feeling tugged at my chest and worry filled my heart. Dreadful images filled my brain as I thought of it. Is it safe to leave Christie alone? I shut my eyes as I pondered on it. Of course, it was, my prolactin hormone was just at work. Christie will be safe. "Amber," Moore called and I opened my eyes. He gave me a warm smile and took the luggage from me while I turned to Christie. After this, I will make sure I get to spend time with her. "Christie" I called and bent down to her level. We were in front of the building about to leave but I had to make sure I talked to her. "Be fine, okay? Mum will come back soon. Take care okay?" Her giggle filled my ears and she pulled me into a hug which I reciprocated. I broke the hug and peppered her face with kisses which made her chortle. She was indeed a sweetheart! "Bye M
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 156- I WILL PROTECT HER.
My chest fell and rose as I watched the police take Louisa. I couldn't believe she had escaped from the prison. I knew she wanted to harm me, she was desperate to cause me pain but I didn't expect her to break away from prison."No, you just can't —" Louisa's protest was cut short when the officers grabbed her arm as they led her to the van. The officer turned to me and I bit hard on my lip.My thoughts had begun to wander off. Will it keep happening over and over again? Did I deserve no peace? Why did Louisa cause me pain on things I didn't know about?I couldn't understand it. I whipped my head to Moore when I felt his soothing touch that caused my heart to pound. He pressed my hand softly and I looked up at him.His eyes held the warmest and softest expression I could read; I could read the hope and pain that hid behind his lids."Stop it. Stop it, Moore, you can't keep touching her that way. I hate it!" Louisa yelled as her eyes bore holes into my skin. Veins popped out on her for
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 155- I BEG YOU.
I sucked in a sharp breath, the pressure pressed down on my neck made it hard for me to even breathe. My head was pressed back hard against the pillow beneath as the figure above me pressed down even harder than before.The darkness made it impossible for me to see who it was, I only felt cold palms grasped at my throat. My eyes flew open in both shock and panic, small ragged gasps escaped my throat as I felt the air start to leave me. My heart, once quickly beating slowed in tempo and my eyes widened in desperation.No, I couldn't die. I can't die just yet — at least not in this way. I couldn't let them kill me like this.Small coughs erupted from my lips, I wheezed, now desperate to survive, and used my last bit of strength to scream for help as I pushed the figure back with all my might.My push made the figure fall to the ground and I used that opportunity to reach for my light lamp as I coughed painfully, and gasped greedily for breath. The lamp came on, its light wasn't bright b
