I Married My Grumpy Patient! 10/ ONE PARTY AND SNEAKY ROOMS
The garden was a sight to behold. It was large and filled with unique flowers. The scent was calming and I felt my nerves relax from the conversation with Christine. It seemed like she genuinely wanted to help her brother and I felt obligated to do so because I knew what it was like to be in her place. I shifted my weight from one foot to another while we waited in the garden. We had been whisked here by Moore because apparently; his mother finally wanted to say what she had been holding back. Daisies were displayed all over the garden and Christine seemed too calm for comfort. “Don’t worry.” The blonde haired girl eased. “Mother only adds more daises to the garden when she is about to share good news,” at the same moment, Their mother, whose name I had learned from Christine was Amelia walked in. She had her long blonde hair tied in a French twist and a glowing smile spread across her oval face. Behind her was the man I had met earlier; he had a smirk on his face while he h

I wrinkled my nose for the millionth time and Christine approached me. She seemed too comfortable in her tight dress and had her blonde hair tied in a bridal bun. Even with all her makeup, I could still see the dark bags under her eyes and the tension on her shoulders. For the past three days; Everyone had been so focused on ensuring that the event was a success. Madame Amelia wanted everything at a particular time, position, and theme. I used to think planning for weddings was the most exhausting task after attending my aunt's wedding a decade ago; but this entire event beat that. I ran my hands over my chest and sucked in a sharp breath. I could barely breathe in the blue dinner dress Amelia had ordered; Of course, I had to explain when and how I had gained so much weight. Then suck it up and wear the tight dress with an uncomfortable corset. Whoever Louisa was; She was not eating right during her stay here. "Come, Louisa, Let me introduce you to some of our guests," Christine

The last time I felt so much pain was when I was five and my mother had locked me outside at night. The neighbor's dog had gotten loose and it attacked me. Mother was terrified when she realized that she had mistakenly left me out, but what could she do? Her three-month-old Alicia had always been more important. This time though; It felt like a dagger had pierced through my chest. I wasn’t sure where all the pain was coming from. All I knew was that my entire body was dead weight and I could barely feel my legs. “Louisa!” Someone shrieked and I heard a gasp. “Get it off her, It’s—“ I could barely hear them clearly over the sound of the chandelier falling; which replayed in my head even though it had happened moments ago. “Someone call 911!” Another person yelled and I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it. I swallowed thickly and tried to speak but my jaw was stiff. As my view gradually turned black; I felt a tear slip down my cheek. I couldn’t hear Moore, had he also gotten st

I groaned. The sound of glass shattering from downstairs was unbearable. It felt like the glasses were being thrown in front of my ears. I sat up and let out a frustrated huff. Who in their right mind was constituting such a nuisance at three am in the morning? I returned from the hospital yesterday. I had insisted on returning home as soon as possible and the nice doctor accepted on the condition that I would use crutches. I wasn’t a fan of the idea; But at least I would be walking and I would be able to leave, right? I swung my sore legs over the bed, I glanced at my side and noticed Moore wasn’t there. Ever since Amelia forced us to share a room; I neither slept nor woke up to him. I wasn’t sure where he spent his nights and I felt guilty because I was taking up his room. Christine had told me to wait for the right time before I brought up the psychological sessions to Moore, but if he was not interested in getting better, why marry me in the first place? Why bind me to him for t

Moore and I stared at each other for a while before he brushed past me and returned to the house. I felt my shoulders go slack and let out a breath I never knew I had been holding. I wasn't sure if what happened today would positively influence him or take him one step in the right direction but I felt deep down; that it was the right thing. Feeling content with the final result of our mini rant, I made my way back to the house, but the closer got the more I realized that there was another figure standing in front of the door and it was not Moore. I frowned. Who could be awake at this time? I furrowed my eyebrows at the silhouette at the door and hesitated a bit before I swallowed my mixed feelings and proceeded. "Louisa," The voice was thick and sickeningly sweet. I blinked but registered the voice."Mr. Moore, you're out here?” I questioned softly and stopped in front of the man. He was dressed in a blue nightwear and had his sleek fringe hair styled to the back. His eyes were a

It was still hard to accept that Moore had agreed for me to continue working at Moore Hospitals as a psychologist. Being away from work; even though I had been working, was pure torture. Ever since the night I spent with Christine, she and I had grown closer. She opened up about the abuse she had faced from her father and how she had suspicions that Moore went through the same too. I could not help but feel uneasy at the thought that he could have gone through that too. I realized that Christine shared a rather intimate relationship with Moore, she didn't see him the way I saw him and it wasn't just a sibling thing, Christine had been practically forced to take on the role of being a mother for an elder brother. She felt responsible for him despite her own traumatic experience so far and the entire thing was disturbing."We are here." The driver spoke when the car came to a halt, I peeked out the window and sure enough, we were standing outside Moore Hospital. The grandeur of the i

"You have no right," I began quietly, "Absolutely no right to judge me or meddle in my personal life!" I snapped back at her. Mother glared at me for a while. "You could have had this and everything else, If you didn't like James, we could have found someone else, I would have even been willing to push the Alliance to the Moore family, I would have done anything for y—""No." I protested. "You would have not done anything for me. All you care about is getting your hands on our property and wealth before Estella does, and she has every right Delores." I informed the mother. She narrowed her eyes at me in anger. Estella had been the maid in our home while I was seven. She had a young son whom her father was very fond of, so much so that he give the boy a part of his property as his First child. Mother had been so furious and she was convinced that father was having an affair with the maid. "You don't care about me; Stefan, Alicia, or anyone else. All you care about is your guilt and

"Did you hear that?" I asked and raised my head from Amelia's lap, the woman stared at me confused but she spoke her head. I frowned, the noise had also stopped but I still wanted to check it out and confirm. I had taken two steps away from the couch when Melissa, The cook scurried into the kitchen with a bright smile. "Dinner's ready ma'am." Amelia and I walked over to the dining and sat down, the table had already been set and waiting for us, as much as I wanted to leave and go check the room upstairs, Amelia kept jumping from one conversation to another and it was honestly hard to keep up. Moore walked in with Christine who seemed exhausted and Andrew followed next. Soon, we were all seated and began to eat, but the noise of cutlery speaking was cut through by a loud clash. the kitchen, everyone stood up except Andrew. I was the first one to get off my seat and hurry into the kitchen. We were met by a rather upsetting sight; Milagros, one of the maids at the house had her finge

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
