Chapter 37 Happy
“What are you doing here Adrian? You know you cat be here.” I asked when I watched him head into the room with a large item on his hand.
“I am staying here.” He said, he is not asking, he is telling me that what is going to happen and I didn't even want to argue with him.
I watched as he filled the air mattress with artificial air, and he made the bed before laying on it, we are spending the night here with papa, he will be annoyed when he wakes up, because he loves to be dramatic but it didn’t matter.
I enjoyed what will happen? I wanted to see him be awake.
I instantly followed my instincts and I laid on the air mattress beads Adrian, before he wrapped his hand around me and he pulled ne close to him.
“You know he is going to freak out when he wakes up and he off us like this.”
“I want him to, I even want him to yell, to tell me that I should not be laying on a bed with a man that’ not my husband yet.” I stated and a chuckle escaped his lips. “Do you think papa is going to be fine, he got badly injured and with the cancer.”
“He is going to be fine, he had gone through worse and your father is not the type of man that would never fulfil his promise, he made you a promise to be with you, and he will be with you.” Adrian said and I nodded
For a moment I could close my eyes, for a moment, I could pretend not to be scared, not to be worried that something is going to happen and I could feel myself falling into the beautiful work or sleep, where I could think of my papa

The sounds of a machine woke me up, when I turned to the other are, I realized that Adrian is no where beside me and Ina. Moment, I watched as the door spring open and the lights went on.
Papa.
I rushed toward the door when Adrian pulled me toward him
“Let me go.”
“You need to let him do his job Elara.” Adrian stated, yet not letting me go, I wanted to head to papa, I wanted to make sure that he is fine.
“Please.”
“He is going to be fine, he is fighting.” Adrain whispered to me, I turned around and my eyes were on his, my breath hitches as I stared at him for a moment.
“Your papa is going to be fine, he has to be fine, he always believed in me when I got sick or injured and this time I need to do the same.”
It didn’t sound like he believed that papa will be fine, it sounded more like, he wanted to force himself to believe because my papa always believed in him.
I didn’t utter any words, my eyes were on his and my heart beating like it was about to escape my chest, my mind filled with thought.
“He is going to be fine, your father has always been a. Drama queen.” The doctor said and I smiled. “Don’t tell him I said that, I am not ready to die.”
“Neither is he.” I whispered before I turned around.
“What happened to him?.” I asked.
“It’s his body reacting to the drug, but I gave him something to make him feel better, when he wakes up tomorrow we are going to take him to the infirmary to make sure we get some lap test done.” The doctor said and I nodded.
I am glad he stayed close to us and he didn’t leave, I watched as Adrian helped him out of the room, I sat beside my father.
“You don’t always have to this dramatic you know and whenever I say it, you always tend to defend yourself with, a fearless mafia king is meant to be dramatic.” I smiled. “You are going to be fine, when you wake up, I am going to yell at you so much.” I breathed out.
He has no idea how much I am going to yell at him, he is going to learn to never ever try to leave the house ever again, not even for a walk.
“Come sleep.” Adrian whispered from behind and I nodded, I didn’t what to admit it, but having him this close to me, it made me feel better, I didn’t know what I would have done if I was all alone, I could not be able to control all these overpowering emotions.

The next morning, we woke up, got everything ready and I asked the maids to make three of papa’s favorite meals, Adrian on the other hand left to speak with the guard to make sure everything that a fine
By the time I took a bath and I got changed, I found my way into papa’s room again.
“Papa.” I breathed out when I noticed his eyes were flicking, I headed toward him instantly and his eyes met mine. “I need to get the doctor.”
“No.” Papa said, as my eyes met his again.
“Don’t do this, you think you are strong and you don’t need a doctor and your body can heal you, I believe you papa but right now.”
“It’s too late Elara.” He said and my breath hitches, my eyes filled with tears as I stared at him, he was holding my hand so tightly. “It’s too late to save me and you know that, I promised you two months and I failed at it, but promise me you will not be all alone, promise me you will not push Adrian away.”
“Papa I need to get the doctor.”
“No Elara.” He yelled this time. “Promise me you will get married to him.” Papa said.
“I promise.” I whispered
“Promise me you will be happy.” He said and my heart shattered at his words.
