I’m Just His Wife

“Oh, there! Try to get up and I’m really telling you, you’ll never see your children again. I’ll hide them abroad.” Darlyn threatened me but I just stared at her. As if I would let him take my children away from me.

“Speaking of which, where were my children?” I asked her. I still remember earlier when I was with Ate. I saw them here before.

I ‘m curious. were those things that happened before true or was it just a dream? But it seems true e. And hopefully true.

“Ah, they were here before but I sent them to Xyleus at Ivan’s parents’ house first. They still have school tomorrow. Let them go, they will also visit here tomorrow.” Darlyn took an apple from the fruit basket and began to peel it with a knife.

I nodded. But … Why at Ivan’s parents’ house and not at our house? My forehead furrowed slightly. There seems to be something wrong …

“Darlyn-” I was cut off from asking Darlyn when the door suddenly opened.

Then … Creed was thrown wearing a face mask while holding a folder and reading something. He was now in a laboratory coat, which was really new to me. Well, I do know that he’s a doctor but it was my first time to see him in a doctor uniform. He looks neat and professional right now.

Creed closed the door and shifted his gaze to me. I was still a little surprised because his eyes were sad. He removed his mask and placed it on the table closest to him. He even put the folder there.

He smiled at me sparingly and walked over to me. He slid his hands on the pockets of his lab coat while walking towards me.

But why was that? Even though he smiles at me do I still feel sadness that envelops him? Seriously, why were people weird today? Or am I just really thinking about what things make me look like this?

Creed stopped next to my bed and looked at me. From my face, my bandaged shoulder, and up to my foot he looked as well. He nodded slowly as if he had already formed a conclusion in his mind.

“I heard you’re okay? How were you feeling?” Creed’s smile remained on his lips.

“I’m fine.” I’ll answer right away. “Do you know where Ivan was? Why isn’t he here?” I asked her what I should have asked Darlyn earlier.

My two eyes saw the masculinity of Creed’s eyes. Wait, why does he seem so shocked? I’m just asking where Ivan was. What’s so surprising about that?

Creed blinked and drew a deep sigh. He averted his gaze from me and I saw the redness of his neck. His jaw also moves as if he was disgusted.

Darlyn suddenly appeared in front of me so I was surprised. Shit, I just woke up but this girl startled me right away!

“Ah … He’s the one who takes care of your children, best. Bi … He’ll also visit you tomorrow so don’t worry. He wants … He really wants to visit you here but he has to take care of your children … “Darlyn’s lips trembled as she smiled at me.

One of my eyebrows rose. Nakakainis naman. I didn’t even see him when my eyes were wide open. I hope he visits me because I need him here now. I still need to talk to him about other things.

“Why don’t you rest again, Andrea? It’s afternoon now and it’s nice to sleep. The weather was also cold. You can rest for a while.” Creed said reason for me to look back at him. He was no longer smiling because now he was folded.

I frowned and looked at the wall clock I had just seen. It’s only four o’clock in the afternoon, then? It was as if my thirst and hunger had suddenly disappeared. It’s like I just want to have dinner later.

I swallowed and nodded. “Oh, all right. I’ll go to sleep first. Just keep quiet.” I slowly turned away from them and covered myself with a blanket.

I winced as I felt pain in my back. I didn’t imagine that I will get shot like this. Your type will take me here to the hospital. I was always careful and this time I really neglected this. The bullet then hit me.

But … Everything’s worth it for me. And at least, no other misfortune will happen in my life. No Uno, no Dark Alpha. Nothing will ruin my quiet life.

I slowly closed my eyes and smiled. I could not have overcome all this without God and … Ivan. They were my shield and my protector. I am deeply grateful to them because they helped me get through it all.

Roxanne was currently serving me the soup that Manang brought earlier. Manang was no longer here because he has something important to go to. He seems to be in a hurry e. But I don’t tend to interfere with, life with life so I just didn’t ask where he was going. I just thanked him and we had a little more fun.

I thought maybe he would go to Marilyn because I heard that Amethyst was also taken to this hospital. Maybe he was already worried about his grandson so he was in a hurry to leave earlier.

Roxanne blew the hot broth before pouring the spoon on me. We said goodbye when I woke up. It’s really good and the fight between the two of us didn’t last long. Roxanne can be scary to be an enemy. His actions were conscientious.

After he showered me he placed the bowl on the side table and took a glass of water. There was also a pill of medicine there and even that he took as well.

He handed me the medicine. “Drink that, Creed said. Pain killer so that your back doesn’t hurt.” aniya.

‘thank you.” I smiled at him and accepted the medicine. I boiled it and he handed me the glass of water.

I sipped some water and immediately returned the glass to him.

“Hmm. I’m a little sleepy, best. I haven’t slept watching over you yet. I’ll sleep first, okay?” Roxanne asked while yawning.

I looked at Darlyn who was now asleep on the couch. He also let me know earlier that he was drowsy so I put him to sleep on the couch first. There was no other bed here in this room even though it was VIP.

I glanced at Roxanne who was squinting as she looked at me. His eye bags were also obvious because maybe it’s late at night. Seriously, Darlyn and I were really watching. I was really lucky and they became my friends.

“All right, best. Get some rest.” I smiled at him again.

One of his eyebrows rose. “were you sure? Don’t you need anything else? I’m really going to sleep.” he yawned again. Nako, I’m already sleepy.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

I nodded. “Yeah, go ahead. Go to sleep.”

He sniffed slightly. “You said that, huh? Ge, I’ll do a beauty rest first. Gosh, the size of my eye bags.” he walked over to another large couch. When he got to the front then he collapsed and began to fall asleep.

I in turn just leaned on the headboard of the bed and picked up the TV remote on the side table. I pressed the open button and a channel appeared on the TV screen airing one of the most popular newscast shows here in the Philippines.

The news was still going the same way. Still about drug pushers, drugs, crimes, traffic, politics and whatever else was usually reported. It’s not that I’m in America, I don’t watch the news here in the Philippines. I care more about the news here in this country than in America e.

I was about to switch the channel because I didn’t seem to get anything out of the news when that newscast suddenly changed its segment. I frowned when I saw the sad look of the host. Who else could be a famous actor or politician who died? That’s how it used to be for me e. Just a first look.

Suddenly Ivan’s photo was shown on TV so my eyes suddenly widened! My mouth dropped open as I stared in shock at the television screen. Why was my wife’s picture there ?!

‘the kind-hearted business tycoon and the CEO of De Leon Corporation, Mr. Ivan Jed De Leon was now in a middle of being comatose and was now in the ICU for a major monitoring by the smartest doctors of De Leon Medical Center, which was also his property. He was delivered into the emergency room three days ago because, well, according to rumors, he was shot in the chest. His life was in “fifty-fifty” when the doctors were operating him. According to his doctors , it was a big miracle that Ivan De Leon was able to survive that … ‘the host’s tears dripped but he wiped them away immediately. Wait … She’s familiar. “As you all know, I have been the host of this show for a long time and I always give you comfort but … Now I will take this opportunity at least for my sister. I will not make you happy now. Because. .. I, Ivy Jenner De Leon, was requesting even a simple prayer to all of you … “I don’t know but even I cried. What’s going on? I know nothing of this! Ivy sobbed but she also spoke immediately.

“Please, pray for my brother. I know you already know him because he was often featured in the news. He’s a good man. He has helped a lot. So please … I’m begging you, even just a short prayer will do. I still want Kuya Ivan to live. We still want him to be with me. I want to help him a lot more so please … I hope you will pray for my brother. At least for a moment, please … ” Ivy blinked sharply and continued to sob. Crap, I want to cry more because of what I’m seeing right now. It was my first time to see Ivy begged for his brother.

As I watched with her I couldn’t even hold back my tears. No … I don’t know anything about what I’ve seen! What did Ivan’s brother say? Why was he shot? Why was he fifty-fifty and why was he in the ICU ?!

My right hand was shaking when I reached for the remote again to turn off the TV. I forcibly pressed the off button even though it seemed as if a strong wind had just blown away my strength. I lowered the remote again and held it tightly.

Why so? Ivan and I were in the same hospital but I didn’t immediately find out about his condition? I don’t know how he was shot, I don’t know how he got to the ICU. At least a little I know nothing. Or … Did the people around me mean it? Did they mean to keep it all a secret from me?

Probably, yes. It won’t turn out like this if they told me earlier that Ivan’s life was now in danger. I won’t cry this hard and ask stupid questions through my mind if in the first place …

I closed my eyes tightly and let my tears flow. They even lied. In the news, I found out about the condition of the person I love the most.

I quietly cried. I don’t want to be angry with them. I don’t want to blame them. I can’t do that. That reason was too superficial. They helped me to overcome those shits that happened to me. This was not the time for others to blame me. Maybe, they have their reason why they did hide everything to me.
