Chapter 15
Ivy’s POV
I ran all the way towards the hospital. I was so happy that the tears of happiness automatically came running down my cheeks. Edward was standing on the door.
“Go inside, Ivy, you should meet him first,” he said. I smiled at his generosity, wiped my tears, and went inside.
He was still laying with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling.
“Andrew..” I said. His eyes snapped in my direction. Slowly his lips broke into a small smile, that became the most beautiful and biggest smile.
“Ivy,” he said. “Is it you?”
“Yes, it is me, Andrew,” I said and went closer to him, now sitting on the floor of his bed’s side. “You’re back... you’re back, Andrew!”
“I wasn’t dead?” he asked. I shook my head and kept his hand on my heart. “It would’ve stopped if you were”
“It’s going fast..” he said. “And faster”
“Because you are here,” I said. “The one who makes it beat”
“uh-uh” we heard coughing and he removed his hand. “Well, this is a hospital room, okay?” Ed said as he came inside.
“Yeah, just got with the flow,” I said and he looked at Andrew. They both shared a smile. “Welcome back, man!” Ed said.
“Thanks, man. I know you both did a lot of work” he said.
“And actually, him too,” I said as my dad stepped inside. All the colors drained from Andrew’s face.

Andrew’s POV
There walked in her dad. HER DAD HATES ME. I’m dead, I’m really dead.
“Hey, A. L.” he spoke exaggerating at the name.
“H-hi S-sir,” I said sitting and looked at Ivy for an explanation.
“Actually, my dad helped a lot in taking care of you,” she said. I looked at him and swallowed the lump in my throat.
“I don’t hate you Andrew,” he said. “Ivy told me everything you did for her”
I smiled. “Really!?” I asked.
“Just look at the most wanted criminal smiling and being all childish at just his fiancés’ father’s words!” Ed commented.
“Fiancé!?” We all three snapped at him.
“Oh, come on, don’t tell me, Andrew, you don’t love her and don’t want to be her husband, and don’t tell me that Ivy doesn’t want to be his wife and don’t tell me sir that you’re now gonna separate them like some villain!”
“Okay, that’s true” we both again said in a unison.
“Okay, I then would TRY not to come in between,” her dad said.
“Please dad, you aren’t doing this” Ivy said.
“Oh Ivy, I need time to think about this,” he said. “And you, Andrew, you have to leave all this criminal world if you want to be hers”
“I will leave everything for her, sir!!” I said.
“That we will see” and with that Ed and her dad left, but the nurse came.
“Is he having some strange post-amnesia or any traumatic symptoms?” she asked checking the files in her hand.
“NO, he’s perfect,” Ivy said.
“Okay” and the nurse left.
“Andrew..” she said. She looked at me.
“Sorry,” I said. “Sorry, sorry for everything, Ivy. You know I didn’t mean an-”
“I know Andrew, I know it all. I never believed any word because I know that you love me and that you were true to me all along”
“Oh god Ivy you’re making my heart crazy for you,” I said. She smiled.
“Well, mine already is,” she said and got up. “Not get ready to leave this place”
“Okay..” I said and got up. She smiled at me again and then we went to the receptionist and completed all the formalities.

Ivy's POV
“You aren’t wearing this!” my dad said as I chose another dress for my wedding. Yes, my wedding.
“But dad, this one is just perfect!” I replied back.
“Oh look, Ivy, this is good,” my dad said picking another dress.
“Whatever,” I said. He isn’t gonna listen to me anyway.
“Haha just kidding. Take that one” he said pointing at the one I chose earlier. I smiled and took the one I liked.
We returned back home and then I went to my room and found Andrew there.
“Hey,” I said.
“Hi” I replied.
“So, have you chosen the dress?” he asked.
“Yup” I showed him the dress. He smiled. “The dress is lucky”
“Haha,” I said. “Well, I wanna tell you something serious”
“Hm speak”
“Antonio.. he helped us in your recovery,” I told. He looked extremely shocked for a few moments, but then returned to normal.
“Why wouldn’t you talk to him?” I asked.
“Just I can’t”
“You could go and make everything fine, and then you both will-”
“I said no!!” he yelled. I stepped back.
“o-ok,” I said.
He stood up and came near me, and pulled me in a hug.
“Ivy, I-I can’t tell you some things,” he said.
“You trust me?” I asked. He hummed. “Then tell me everything”
