CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

The News; good or bad?

Alexander's POV

I sat in my office, staring blankly at the paperwork in front of me. My mind was consumed with thoughts of Emily, my wife, the only woman I love, the one I wanted to be with and spend my life with, and the pain that came with losing her. I couldn't focus on anything else.

The reality of the situation was hitting me hard. I didn't want to get married again, not to anyone who wasn't Emily. I loved her with all my heart, and the thought of being with someone else made me feel sick. But my parents were pressuring me to find someone new, to start a family, to carry on the family name.

    CHAPTER THIRTY-ONEShe Is BackI didn't realize I had fallen asleep until I felt a gentle touch on my shoulder. I opened my eyes one after the other to see the nurse standing right beside me with a smile on her face, "Mr Alex, the visiting hour is over, you have to leave now," she informed.I nodded, trying as much as possible not to yawn in her presence. I had slept off while watching Emily, it was a very peaceful rest and I knew it was because of the news I got. Since Emily had been in that condition, I had never slept very well, I never had a good night. It has always been one nightmare after the other. Reluctantly, I released Emily's hand and kissed her forehead before walking out of the room."Thank you," I murmured, "Please take good care of her and don't hesitate to call me if you need anything," I added and made sure that the nurse replied me before stepping out.I headed straight to the receptionist to clear the bills.
