"Hayden’s wife…?" Alia said with clear shock on her face.
Yeah. I guess many things happened while she was asleep. It must have been a shock to her to wake up to find that Hayden had married , and I was still standing in my wedding dress as if to prove that that was in fact true.
"Co…" Hayden whispered to as he led
by the hand towards Alia.
Suddenly, I felt extrely shy. Her eyes widened as she stared up into my face.
"This is Malissa. We got married recently," Hayden introduced
again.
"You look like a little princess…congratulations…both of you…" Alia said after a while of staring at
in silence.
"I’m sorry about this but we need to transport her to the hospital now. The ambulance is here and ready for her," the doctor said with an apologetic smile.
Oh, right. She just regained consciousness so she should go to the hospital. I turned to Harvey and saw him smiling at .
"I’ll go with her. We’ll be ok…Thank you…" Harvey told us reassuringly.
"You owe
a huge ass one…" Hayden said with a smile.
I could sohow tell that he wasn’t just teasing his brother when he said that. After saying our temporary farewells to Alia, Hayden led
out of the room.
"Wow…she really woke up…" I mumbled to myself, still finding it hard to believe it.
"Yes, she did. Seems like our luck hasn’t completely run out after all…" Hayden replied with a chuckle.
Hayden took my hand and carefully led
back to the car.
People say that there are monts that would change the course of your life forever. Back then, as I watched Harvey and Alia embracing each other, I never imagined how much their reunion would change the direction of my life with Hayden.
…
The following day, Hayden and I decided to visit Alia at the hospital. Harvey did not return back to the mansion last night which wasn’t a big surprise.
"Let’s get her a huge bouquet of flowers before we go up," I suggested.
Alia ended up hospitalized in the sa hospital that my grandmother used to stay in. I knew that there was a flower shop in the hospital and felt like we couldn’t turn up empty handed to visit the angel who was resting upstairs. Hayden just nodded at my suggestion before I dragged him enthusiastically after
into the flower shop.
"Sothing big…colorful and eye-catching," I told the florist with sparking eyes.
"Sure. I’ll have sothing for you soon. Please wait a mont," the florist replied with a smile.
I stood next to Hayden with a dumb smile on my face as I watched the florist go about her job of preparing a bouquet for Alia. Although I did not know Alia personally, I was over the moon happy that she had regain consciousness. The fact that both Hayden and Harvey were happy, made
feel extrely joyous about this occasion too.
"You seem too happy," Hayden muttered next to
before he ruffled my hair.
"Stop that…" I protested as I turned to glare at him.
Hayden laughed at
a little. He probably doesn’t know that he looked much more relaxed since Alia had woken up. It was a change that I welcod with opened arms.
I carried a huge bouquet of flowers in my arms as we rode the elevator up to Alia’s floor. These flowers are so pretty, hopefully they can cheer Alia up even if just a little. If everything goes well, she should be out of the hospital soon. Then she will probably marry Harvey and live happily ever after.
My thoughts were a sparkling rainbow, and I couldn’t stop smiling all the way until we reached her hospital room.
"Sorry for intruding…" I said cheerfully as I poked my head through the ajar door.
"Welco," Harvey said as he turned to smile at .
Hayden walked in after . Alia was sitting up in bed and her complexion looked a lot better than yesterday. I guess she had rested up well and she seed to be in a good mood too.
"This is for you," I said as I handed her the bouquet of flowers.
"Wow. They’re really pretty…" she said as she admired the colorful flowers in her arms.
I smiled happily. It was the right choice to get these flowers for her. Alia looked much happier than before. Her main source of happiness was probably Harvey and not the flowers that I had just given her, though.
After sharing so small talk for a while, Alia got tired and fell asleep. That was when Harvey confessed to us that it would take her so ti to fully recover. There were so lasting effects on the body caused by her condition that would take so ti to stabilize.
"But she’ll be alright, right?" I asked with worry.
"Yes, she should be fine according to the doctors," Harvey replied reassuringly.
I heaved a sigh of relief at his words. She had finally woken up so it would be so sad if anything were to happen to her.
Now that Alia had fallen asleep, the conversation started to take a serious turn. I sat down on the sofa and watched the two brothers as they stood next to each other.
"The hardest part is here, unfortunately…" Harvey said with a sigh.
"The hardest part?" I asked, not quite sure what he is referring to.
"Telling our dad that his favorite son never died in the first place…" Hayden replied with an unsympathetic laugh.
Oh, right. Now that Alia has woken up, Harvey can co back to life too. However, how are these two going to break the news to the boss?
The bigger question was, what is going to happen to the gang now that Harvey is back?
Harvey did not seem at all hesitant about what he needed to do. He turned and placed a hand on Hayden’s shoulder before he smiled confidently. At that mont, I couldn’t tell who had a cockier smile, Hayden or Harvey.
"Let’s go talk to him together. I’ll handle it," Harvey said with confidence.
"Yeah, you better…" Hayden muttered before he pulled Harvey’s hand away from his shoulder.
The two stared into each other’s eyes while I wonder what they had just communicated that could not be expressed in words.
