I Married My Grumpy Patient! 98- BREATHE FOR ME.
My body ran cold and I glanced around. "Where are you?! Come out, you cowards! Come out and face me!" I sobbed over Moore's bloody body: I cried and forced myself to stand up. My eyes darted around for my cell phone or anything I could use to communicate. Maybe even call 911. Moore could not die on me like this, not right now. I found my phone but horror traced my bones when I realized it was red. "Moore," I placed my bloody hands on his cheeks. "Moore please hang on! Please don't leave me alone, not like this! Please!" I begged and sobbed while holding his body. "Where's your phone, your phone—" I whispered to myself and looked for his phone, it was nowhere to be found, I searched for it for a few more seconds before I found it on the ground, several feet away from us completely distraught. I stared at my husband, He was bleeding from his torso and had been shot in the chest. Moore's breathing was shallow. I could not lose him, I could not lose anyone else. If life wanted to take

"Please be careful!" I called out and exited the car once I had parked in front of the hospital. The man helped me pull Moore out of the car and two other men with a stretcher raced toward us. They placed Moore on the stretcher and took him to the hospital, I raced after them and the man followed— Yelling orders and medical terms as he did so. I was shut out when Moore was moved into the Operation theatre immediately and the door closed on me. I breathed and slid down the white walls that felt like they were closing in on me. I could barely breathe with the weight of this incident pulling down on me. I swallowed sharply and curled into myself. I hated hospitals. Whenever I came here— I always lost someone or something. To be honest, Loss and I see if to be dancing in the same stream for too long now. I rested my head on the wall and tried to pull myself together and make sense of everything that was happening, to be honest — so much had happened in so little time and my mind had b

“I don’t think this is a good idea,” the doctor spoke when I grabbed my things to leave. Ignore him and sighed.Whomever this person was — they hated me and they wanted to take advantage of the situation, “This isn’t a good idea,” He continued.“What’s that to you?” I spat and locked eyes with the man. “Do you prefer that I just let my husband die then? Should I leave him all alone to die because I refused to face my fears?” I snapped and sighed when he did not offer a response. “Yeah. I thought so too, Doc.” I declared and turned to leave when a nurse came to the cafeteria. “The blood has arrived, it’s a match and the transfusion has started.” She announced and the doctor spared me a glance before he followed the nurse out of the place. My shoulders trembled slightly and bit hard on my lip. I might have looked okay, but deep down I was falling apart. I had waited for this moment — to face A. To find out who the person behind that name was, yet, now that I was so close to finding

"You've had a lot to say," I began and took a step toward her. "Oh I have even more—""And they are all lies. Treacherous ones." I added with a straight face. Alicia seemed taken aback by my response, her eyes narrowed at me. "Lies?" "Yes, lies." I acknowledged. "For the past fifteen minutes, all you have done is tell lies — you have accused me and insulted me like the little brat you are.""How dare you speak to me like that?!" Alicia lashed out and tried to slap me but I held her back. "You said you wanted to kill me, right? Go ahead, I am not scared of you, Alicia. You have done your worst already, or haven't you?" I tilted my head as I spoke and a spark lit in her eyes. Alicia shoved to the edge and the small wall on the roof was the only thing that stood between me and death in that moment. "I should kill you right now, for all the pain you caused—""Caused you?" I raised an eyebrow at her words and our eyes locked. My tone had a different edge to it and I tightened my fist

“Fine, I’ll leave,” Alicia’s eyes widened at my words.“You won’t fight for the love of your life?” She taunted with a lop-sided smirk. I smiled, “if you truly knew what love meant, you would understand that loving someone was a sacrifice, even if that sacrifice was forever,” I admitted sharply and we locked eyes.,“You might think you have won, maybe you have, but I will be happier as long as my husband is alive,” I explained sharply and moved to leave but Alicia held me back. “Where was this selflessness when you stole everything from our family?” Alicia spat and I removed her hand from my arm. “What family?” I retorted and walked away briskly. I clenched and unclenched my fingers as I replayed my words in my head.What family? What relationships? I had no clue when our bond became a burden, a weight we had to bear to maintain — an identity that was never ours.I held on to the wall in front of me for support, I had returned to the hospital to say goodbye to Moore. He would proba

“Nathan!” I called out in a hoarse tone, I raised my head and locked eyes with his unmoving form. I reached forward and tried to shake him awake. A wince escaped my lips and I groaned.“Nathan please wake up,” I forced out but he did not respond. I tried to move my legs from where they were stuck in the car but they didn’t budge. I grunted and finally got out.I had to get help for Nathan. I came out of the car and worth to the driver's side “Nathan? Nathan!” I called softly and I almost lurched at the bloody site, too many bloody things had been happening lately. I lost my balance for a minute and held onto the car door, I sucked in a deep breath at the sharp pain that shot up my leg. I glanced down and my eyes widened at the blood that was racing down my legs. “What the—” I shut my eyes and tried to pretend I was not bleeding. I had to focus on more important things. Right now, I had to ensure that Nathan got help. I rested on the tree that we had rammed into and sucked in a shar

"I waited so many years for this," Belene's voice was stone cold. I stared at her with wide eyes and clenched the sheets. "St-stop!" I tried to speak."You were never my friend, friends don't do the things you did," She spat and walked toward me, we locked eyes and she smiled. "You were only with me when you needed me, I was always a third wheel in everything — did it never cross your mind that I might have wanted something different?" She pressed on and glared at me. I glanced around the room for any means to get help, but my body felt like a building was on top of it and all I could do with my hands was clench forceful while all the air was drained from me. "Ever since we met, it's always been about you, you! You! You!" Belene snapped and shook me on the bed, a tear rolled down my cheek. The burning feeling in my chest was nothing compared to the pain in my heart. It felt like my legs were jelly and I was floating — watching this entire scene like it was a preview from a movie

"You are lying." I declared sharply. "I have no reason to lie to you," Her voice left no room for hesitation or doubt. I ran my weak hands over my face, no. This new face. "I-i would never be able to hurt you," She stared at me with longing and I took in the fact that she seemed like she was in her mid-forties. "I-i can't do that, to you or your child." She pressed on and took my hand into hers. My eyes widened at her touch. I made eye contact with her and it lasted for a few seconds. "Who are you?" I whispered. "I will answer all of your questions, but not right now, you just woke up after three months—""Three months?!" I shrieked and ran my hands through my hair: I swallowed thickly and my eyes darted around the room. "Three months and twelve days." The woman corrected. "My name is Tricia by the way, Tricia Leon, and I am the director of this hospital,""You still have not answered my questions," I pressed on when she tried to leave. "I will," she placated. "But you have to

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
