CHAPTER 68

CHAPTER 68
“So this is what you choose to do instead of facing the mess that you made?” That’s what I heard as soon as I opened my eyes. 

I took in my surroundings and I was in a hospital bed with a drip on my arm. “Dan, what’s going on?“ I asked my voice to be rough from sleep.

He immediately dropped and turned to face me with a stern look on his face. Who was he talking to on the phone and why does he look so serious?

“What’s going on?” I asked again concerned by the look on his face.

“Why didn’t you tell me Luca shot Tyson?” My stomach dropped and I felt my mouth go dry. The question is not what’s making me nervous but how calm and angry he looks at the same time.

“I didn’t know how to tell you, what did you do to him?” I sat up my heart beating wildly against my chest so many thoughts of what he could’ve done to him running through my mind.

“So you chose to lie to me? Did you tell him to do it?” He asked, still composed, but it was so scary. I could feel myself shaking like a leaf, the only thing I could think of was Luca.

“I didn’t lie, Dan and I didn’t tell him to do anything. He was defending himself, what did you do to him?” 

“Did he tell you that?” I gave him a stern look annoyed that he was not giving me any answers. Toying with my mind because he knows exactly how much I care about Luca.

“He’s fine. But I did punch him a couple of times.” I sighed in relief laying back on the bed and my head immediately started aching. 

“Hey, guys. How are we doing?” A nurse asked as she walked in and she checked my vitals. “I feel fine.” She took off the drip.

“Great news, the baby is fine and so are you. Mr. Tyson is also recovering, a miracle happened he recovered so quickly that there was no need for a blood transfusion.” She said looking at both of us with a smile. 

“Thank god,” I said in relief. She smiled walked out the door, leaving us in an atmosphere heavy with silence. “I will be in the car,” Dan said immediately walking out of the room.

Seriously how am I supposed to get off this bed by myself? I got up from the bed and found my shoes next to it. I took my bag from the table and walked out the door passing by to check on Tyson. 

I didn’t walk in instead I hovered over the door looking at the glass part of the door. He was lying there with machines connected to him but I had hope and a prayer that he would make it out just fine.

For now, I should go and check on my husband, he needs me the most. I have been such an uncaring wife, and it’s not okay.

I wanted to risk my life and donate to the same man I had an affair with. No one should stand for that.

I got into the car and Dan was sitting in the driver’s seat furiously typing away on his phone. I got into the driver’s seat, buckled my seat and we drove off.

I kept looking at him trying to think of what to say because the air was thick with tension. 

He kept his eyes focused on the road, I slowly and unsurely placed my hand on his knee. I felt his whole body tense up, so I immediately removed my hand.

I looked away from him, blinking back tears, my heart thumping painfully from the sting of his rejection. We arrived at the mansion and parked the car hastily opened the door and left me there.

“Dan, Dan.” I rushed after him, calling out, but he didn’t stop just kept walking in long strides, refusing to answer me. Every time I called out his name I could feel myself boiling with anger.

“Dan, can you stop for a fucking second?” I called out but he continued walking up the stairs to our bedroom. I followed in suit, anger fuelling me up so I don’t run out of breath.

“Dan!” I loudly called out his name and he stepped out of the closet looking livid. “What?!”

“Can you stop acting innocent for once?” I loudly said, unable to tone down my voice at this point; I didn’t even care if the staff heard me.

“Can you stop acting like you are in love with my brother for a second?” That took me by surprise; he actually thought I was in love with his brother.

“Dan, I’m not in love with Tyson,” I said my voice now low and normal. “It sure didn’t look like that to me.”

“What did it look like, Dan?” I asked feeling annoyed that he is always thinking the worst about me.

“You are always on my case and judging me, it’s annoying. You think I don’t know what you did?” I asked him, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at me wearily.

“You think I don’t know that the woman you were with was pregnant? She was pregnant with your fucking child, Dan.” I said feeling out of breath tears rolled down my face as the realisation of my actions hit me like a wave.

“I killed a woman and an innocent child because of you,” I said this in a whisper and I sat down on the bed feeling my world crumbling. “You did what, Mellisa?”
