The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

They told me that the bullet hit a very delicate part of her stomach and she lost a

lot of blood. They didn't tell me anything else before rushing her to the emergency room. I knew that doctors didn't make any promises to save a patient's life, because a patient might die at any moment, but I needed any sort of assurance. They didn't provide me with that, "Mr. Kensington, I'm detective Black and this is detective Wilsons. We know that the timing isn't right, but we would like to ask you some questions about what happened to Ms. Eddings. Detective Black was tall and his hair had a buzz cut "Sure," I nodded, getting up from my place.

"Can you please tell us what happened?" Detective Wilsons asked me. Her blonde hair was tied back in a tight bun and she had a notepad in her hands.

"I was standing outside the restaurant with her. Everything seemed fine, then we heard gunshots. I tried to protect her by covering her body with me and getting her on the ground, but when the shooting stopped, I looked at her and found blood on her clothes," I recounted "Did you manage to see who fired the gunshots?" Detective Black asked me

"No." I shook my head. "My priority was to protect her." And I failed to do so. I promised her before that I would protect her and I failed her

"Do you have any animosity with anyone?" he wondered. At first, I was going to say no because I didn't think that anybody might be malicious and envious enough to try to kill Emily. But then I knew some people who were evil enough to commit such an attorcious act. "Jeffrey Harolds and his family. He is her father, but they're not on speaking terms," I said. I didn't know to which extent their hatred for her had reached. I knew that they hated her, but would they really try to kill her.

"Is there anything else you'd like to add, Mr. Kensington? Detective Winstons asked me.

"1 would like to know as soon as you catch the perpetrator, please," I told them.

When they left, I made my way to my family and took a seat beside Maya. She looked exhausted and pale. When I took a closer look at her face, 1 www.tearstains on her cheeks.

1 like to believe that she's going to get out of the operating room alive," I told her.

"I don't want to lose her" she whispered. "It was already hard when she decided to disappear. She didn't call us for a year or more because she was scared that Sam might be able to locate her. That period was the worst one in my life because I missed my best friend so m the operating room alive, there would be nothing for me to make the pain go away or even sedate it. More tears fell down her cheeks and Sam pulled her towards him, gently rubbing her arm.

I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Rosie's nanny, to make sure that my daughter was okay. I asked her to tell her that we had something important to do and we couldn't get back home. I didn't want her to know anything, at least for the time bring

"Hey, man, I got you these clothes," Ansel said as he stood in front of me. I didn't even notice that he had been gone for a while. My mind had been preoccupied with Emily and the worry that filled me about her.

I took the bag from him and thanked him, I walked to the nearest bathroom and took off my clothes. Her blood leaked through my shirt and tainted body. I needed to take a shower, but I couldn't just do that here and I wasn't going to leave to take a shower then come back tcleaned myself up as best as I could and put on the new sweatpants and sweater Ansel got me

When I walked back inside, I sat down and waited for any news about her. Dark thoughts haunted my mind and all I wanted to do was scream at the top of my lungs. I experienced that fear once when I received a call about my mum having a heartattack, It was an atrocio 1 didn't know for how long I waited for anybody to tell me anything about her, but the moment I saw a doctor walking towards me, I jumped up from my place. My hands were shaking and my knees threatened to buckle at any given moment. My chest tightened and it was harder to breathe. I was on the verge of having a panic attack

"It was hard to get the fiullet out without harming a viral organ and she needed blood, but luckily we managed to save her und she is going to a full recovery. She is currently in the ICU and is going to stay there for twenty-four hours

just to make sure that she's okay" When the doctor finished walking, relief took over me and I was finally able to breathe again.

She was okay.

She made it.

She wasn't going to leave me on my ow

"When can I see her? I need to see her," I asked her. I just wanted to lay my eyes on her to make sure that she was still here with me

"She is currently asleep and as I said, in the ICU, but if you'd like to check on her, only one person can do that and it will be for just five minutes." I immediately nodded.

All I wanted was to see her. I wanted to see her breathing to make sure that she was truly alive.

The doctor guided me to where Emily was and the moment I saw her, I smiled. She was unconscious, but she wasn't as pale as she used to be and her lips were almost back to their normal colour.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You scared me so much, sunshine," I whispered as I took a seat beside her on the chair placed to her right. "I know how much you hate hospitals and I'm sorry that I can't stay the night with you, but I promise that I will be here first thing in the morning I just need to check

I looked at the heart monitor and found it beeping steadily, assuring me that my soulmate was okay. The past few hours had been the worst in my life. I was so close to losing her forever. I must have done something great in my life because God didn't let her die. "Sir. you

need to go now," the doctor told me.

I nodded and stood up. "She hates hospitals and I'm not sure how she may react once she wakes up and finds herself in a hospital bed, so please keep a close eye on her." I didn't want her to freak out and end up undoing her stitches. "She's also a well- known fashion designer, photographers may try to sneak in to take pictures of her. She wouldn't want her pictures taken and neither do I, to be honest."

"Don't worry. She is in good hands," the doctor assured me.

It took me a while to convince myself to leave her on her own, but I knew that I didn't have a

choice. I kept telling myself that I needed to get back to Rosie since she was alone. I wasn't going to completely lie to her as I planned on telling her that Emily had fallen sick, but I was worried about how she might react. She is extremely attached to her mother and there 1.
