Thorns of the Heart Chapter 89
Madison’s POVI almost spat out my food in shock. My puffed cheeks moved as I tried to speak.“W-what?” I mumbled, mouth still occupied.“Madison,” A ghost of a smile played on his lips, “Madison, please swallow your food first.”A blush crept onto my cheeks as I swallowed my food and downed a glass of water.“What do you mean? Move in? With you?”“Why are you shocked?” Tyler resumed eating his food, “It’s only normal for married people to live together. Especially now you’re carrying my child,” He pointed to my stomach.“Yes, but why? I need to look after my mother,” I interjected, setting down my cutleries. Tyler’s sudden proposal already had me full enough.Tyler raised an eyebrow, mirroring my actions and dropped his cutleries too, “Does your mother not have a caretaker? Why are you taking it upon yourself?”“I still have to check on her though,” I kept my eyes trained on the dining table.“You can. Once in a while,” His hands met each other, elbows placed carefully on the desk. H

Madison’s POVTyler’s eyes softened as he piped a grin. “You don’t have to do all that. I can get them replaced. Just get what you really need.”I shook my head gently, “You don’t have to waste money on me like that.”“If I can’t spend money on my wife, who am I to spend it on?” He chided, still sporting a gentle smile on his lips. I looked ahead instead, avoiding him. I tried to ignore the funny feeling in my stomach when he said that. He was doing it again. Flirting.“Alright,” He got off the bed, “You can get some rest. I’ll leave you be. We can discuss room decorations later in the day.”I nodded, not sure if he had even seen me. I didn’t feel like speaking though, the pain in my stomach had increased ten fold. I clutched the sheets and tucked my legs into my body as I curled my toes. The door clicked shut, signifying that Mrs Sophie and Tyler had left the room to me.I shut my eyes and imagined the pain going away trying to force myself to sleep. I struggled for minutes on end, I

“Tyler!” I cried out as loudly as I could, feeling multiple tears drop down my cheeks.Tyler rushed in the room in no time, eyebrows knit in confusion. “What’s the matter?”“Tyler,” I choked a sob, taking a hold of his shoulder, “Tyler, I’m bleeding. The baby- I- I just laid down and blood-”“Let’s get you to the hospital,” He said, cutting me off and I just nodded, feeling the pain get even worse.He held my wrist and led me to the car, opening the passenger seat door for me. I hesitated a bit.“I’ll stain the car seat,” I interjected, looking up at him.“And the seats can be cleaned, get in Madison!’ His voice was so stern that I didn’t dare to waste another second getting in. I sniffled as I put on my seatbelt, the door slamming shut.Tyler got in the driver’s seat and started the car immediately, the engine roaring to life. He slammed his foot against the gas pedal aggressively and the car zoomed off. I couldn’t even be worried about the speed as I wiped the tears from my face. As

Madison’s POVImmediately we got home, Tyler made it his responsibility to get me out of the car and led me straight into the room. Mrs Sophie entered soon after asking what the issue was. We ignored her. I felt bad, but I wasn’t willing to discuss details with anyone when the wound was still fresh or to let everyone go around with my business.I initially opted for a second opinion but Tyler revolted against it. He said it would just make me relive the pain and a second confirmation would be nothing less than a crushing realization.“Should I go get her something to drink?” Mrs Sophie anxiously offered. I pulled the blanket over my head and turned to face the other direction.“No. It’s fine. Tell one of the maids to run a bath for her,” Tyler instructed as he adjusted the blanket to cover my legs properly. Mrs Sophie nodded as her gaze lingered on me one last time and she exited the room.“Do you want to be left alone? Tyler crouched beside me, speaking softly into my ear.“Yes, plea

Madison’s POVHe didn’t seem to really display emotions that I just lost a child. I know he cares, but why was it looking like he doesn’t? This must be a crazy imagination in my mind. I definitely wasn’t thinking right.“This is all my fault. If only I just took a break and stopped acting like I could solve everything by myself.” I thought to myself.I looked at the time in that living room and it was already 11pm. I couldn’t get a sleep no matter how I tried. I shifted my position on that couch to get comfortable but then I stood up in frustration.“Why does nothing go my way? I just want to sleep without hearing the screams and seeing my blood!” I shouted and threw the pillow in anger.“Ouch!” a voice said behind me and I turned around. “How long are you going to act like this? Go to the room if you want to sleep and stop acting like a child!” he scolded me, as if I wanted to act like this.I scoffed and folded my arm around myself. “Do you think that I want to act in this manner?

Madison’s POVI entered the shower ,scrubbed my body so hard and then washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo. “Oh Gosh. I need to take care of myself better. He can't just expect me to wake up in the morning looking like a princess right? This is normal.” I said to myself with that water running down my head.“What am I even saying and why am I still thinking about that? Tyler might be right. I am slowly going crazy.” I signed sadly and then finished up.I wrapped my body in my towel and my hair then stepped out of the washroom. On the bed was the cloth that I already brought out to wear.I stood in front of the mirror and a tear dropped out of my eyes. “You have to be strong Maddy. This is just a phase that you will have to pass too.” I spoke to myself and then stared at my swollen eyes. I had been crying a whole lot. I wiped my tears again and said some affirmation words.“I can't mess myself up again.” I said as I wore the red jumpsuit that I brought out. It was fitted so it bro

Madison’s POVWe walked to the car and he opened the door for me. “What’s all this gentle man act for?” I asked and he laughed. “I am being like a good husband. Don't you like it like that?” he asked.“It’s just for a certain reason.” I said to him with a frown. “I am not going to talk about that right now.” he ignored my statement and drove out of the driveway.I didn't want to look at him so I stared outside of that window and rested my head on the chair. “The place seems so far.” I said.“It’s not far. You are just thinking a lot right now. You are the one that said that you could do it today so don't back off now. We already got there.” he said and we drove into the parking lot of the hospital.We got down from the car and walked into the reception. “Hi. I made an appointment with Dr Sarah.” he said and the lady smiled and nodded.“I know about that. Please give me a second to inform her.” she took the telephone and made a call.“You can go in now.” she said and I rubbed my hands

Madison's POV “How can you say that ? Why didn't you tell us immediately you got back from the hospital? What is wrong with you!” Andy shouted once again while pacing in the living room. “Like I said already for the tenth time. I am fine. I am okay so stop creating a scene and exaggerating. I told him again and he sighed. “What do you mean by you are fine? You don't look fine to me at all. You are just telling yourself that so that you can convince yourself. Oh God.” he held his face in his hand. “Andy just seat down already. You are making my eyes spin by walking around.” “You need to go back to the hospital. Who leaves the hospital the day she had a miscarriage. That's not normal at all. Why did he even let you leave the hospital.” “That’s because I wanted to. I didn't want to be in a place that would constantly remind me of my loss by the sad looks of the nurses and doctors.” I gritted my teeth and said. “Mrs Sophie ,please can you get her a glass of water?” he shouted. “Of

Thorns of the Heart Chapter 200
Tyler’s POVI was feeling a mix of joy and nervousness as I stood in front of the altar. Finally, the day Madison and I would be married was here. It was the moment I had been waiting for. I knew how important this event was, and my heart was racing with happiness as I waited for my bride.As I walked around in a classy and charming black suit, I couldn’t help but notice the little things that made my outfit special. The suit fit my body perfectly and hugged me in all the right places. The jacket had a slim fit that drew attention to my broad shoulders, and the pants were expertly made to make me look sharp and stylish.The fabric was a high-end mix of fine wool and silk. It had a light sheen that made the outfit look a little more glamorous. The suit’s black color was classic and timeless, which matched both my great taste and the seriousness of the event. A thin satin trim around the lapels added a modest but elegant touch that made the whole look better.A crisp white dress shirt t

Madison’s POVThree months laterAs Tyler and I entered the sleek, modern office building, a wave of anticipation and nervousness filled the air. The hallway seemed to stretch forever as we approached the glass doors leading to the boardroom. I could feel Tyler’s steady presence beside me, providing a reassuring anchor amid the storm of feelings brewing inside me.The moment we stepped into the meeting, all eyes turned towards us. The muted hum of talks stopped, replaced by the palpable tension that gripped the room. I kept a composed exterior, channeling the confidence Tyler had instilled in me throughout this ordeal.Leonard Byers, sitting at the head of the table, looked up from his papers, his expression shifting from indifference to shock as he registered my presence. The board members, accustomed to his authoritative demeanor, reflected his astonishment. Tyler and I moved confidently to an open space, ready to face the truth.“Miss Johnson,” Leonard stammered, trying to regain h

Madison’s POV“What’s going on in here?” my mom asked, my eyes narrowing as I took in the emotional environment.I quickly wiped away my tears, trying to calm myself. “Mom, we’re just talking,” I said.Tyler nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving mine. “We’re having a heart-to-heart. I wanted to be honest with Madison about everything.”My mom’s eyes narrowed further, her worry escalating into frustration. “Honest conversation? Tyler, after everything that happened in the past, you think you can just waltz back into my daughter’s life and have a ‘heart-to-heart’? What gives you that right?”Tyler sighed, understanding the gravity of the situation. “Mrs. Anderson, I know I messed up in the past. I hurt Madison, and I take full blame for that. But people can change, and I want to make amends. I love your daughter, and I want to be there for her.”My mom crossed her arms, her anger obvious. “Change? Love? Tyler, you had your chance, and you blew it. You can’t just expect to walk bac

Tyler’s POVI reassured myself, “Headaches are not unusual after a head injury. We’ll monitor her closely and adjust the treatment as required. The goal is to make her as comfortable as possible during the healing process.”Once Madison’s pain medication was administered, she started to relax, with the sharp pain gradually subsiding. Doctor Bennet turned to Madison’s mother with a serious look.“Mrs. Byers, I would like to discuss some important issues with you. Can you please join me in my office? We can talk more freely there,” Doctor Bennet offered.Madison’s mother looked concerned but nodded. “Of course, doctor. I’ll be right there. Madison, I’ll be back soon. Try to get some rest, sweetheart,” she said, gently kissing her daughter’s face.As Mrs. Byers stepped out of the room with Doctor Bennet, I looked at them with interest. Doctor Bennet gave me a wink, signaling that he wanted to give me the chance to talk to Madison without any interruptions by her mom.I felt a mix of feel

Madison’s POVI could feel Madison's heavy gaze on me. Her eyes were looking for answers I didn't want to give. As I took a deep breath, I felt the inner conflict of wanting to be honest while also keeping her from any possible pain."Madison," I said first, carefully choosing my words, "I need to do something." I want to get the doctor to explain everything to you. I'll be back right away, all right?" I smiled at them to make them feel better, thinking that would help.Her face furrowed even more, and her eyes showed that she was suspicious. "Tyler, why do you look so scared? What do you not want to tell me?" My voice wavered with a mix of frustration and worry.I paused, my eyes locking onto hers. "It's not about being scared, Madison. I just believe it's best if the doctor explains the problem to you. They have all the knowledge, and I want you to hear it from a professional."She tried to sit up again, and there was a sense of urgency in her moves. "Tyler, you can't just leave me

Thorns of the Heart Chapter 194
Madison’s POVI lay on the narrow hospital bed, my eyes half-closed, trying to make sense of the fuzzy shapes around me. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled my nose, and the rhythmic beeping of machines provided a disconcerting soundtrack to my hazy thoughts. The pain on my side felt like a sharp jab, a constant reminder of something I couldn't quite grasp.I heard my mom's voice in the distance, a comforting murmur that reassured me, "You'll be fine, Madison. The doctors are taking care of you." It was a distant echo, like a lifeline connecting me to the world outside my foggy cocoon. I tried to focus on the words, to find solace in them, but the pain and dizziness were relentless.A nurse came in, her friendly face obscured by a mask, and checked the machines that surrounded me. "How are you feeling, sweetie?" the nurse asked, her voice a gentle melody. I managed a weak smile, attempting to convey that I was okay even though I wasn't entirely sure.The nurse adjusted some

Tyler’s POV"But what of her mum? How will I convince her I mean her daughter no harm?" I asked, my worry etched across my face. Dr. Bennett leaned back in his chair, considering the question. "Building trust with Madison's mother will also take time. It's crucial to be patient and show through your actions that your intentions are sincere. Avoid confrontations, be respectful, and give her the space she might need to process everything."I sighed, a mix of frustration and understanding. "I just don't want to be seen as the bad guy here. I genuinely care about Maddison, and I want her to have all the support she needs."Dr. Bennett nodded in agreement. "It's evident, Tyler. Just be yourself and focus on being a positive presence. Actions often speak louder than words, and with time, her mother may come to see your genuine concern for Maddison's well-being."Feeling a bit more assured, I nodded. "Thanks, Dr. Bennett. Your advice means a lot. I'll do my best to be patient and understandi
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 192
Tyler’s POVAs I approached Room 203, I took another deep breath, steeling myself for the upcoming conversation. I raised my hand, and with a tentative knock, I announced my presence.“Come in,” a voice called from within the room.I pushed the door open and entered, finding a comfortable-looking office with a desk cluttered with papers. Dr. Bennett, with his graying hair, looked up from his work, offering me a reassuring smile.“Tyler, finally you are here. Please, have a seat,” he gestured towards the chair across from his desk.I hesitated for a moment, feeling a mix of nervousness and relief as he took the offered seat. The chair creaked slightly under his weight as he settled in, glancing around the room at the diplomas and medical charts adorning the walls.“Thanks, Dr. Bennett,” I mumbled, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “Sorry I’m late. Got a bit turned around in this place. It’s like a maze.”Dr. Bennett chuckled warmly, “No worries, Tyler. Hospitals can be confusing. I’m
