The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

My chest was heavy and so were my eyelids. My ears were ringing and there was this sense of discomfort that had taken over me heaviness my eyes experienced, 1 did my best to open my eyes, but immediately closed them as I got blinded by bright white ligh

What was going on!

We didn't have bright white lights like that at home.

Despite how painful the lights were to my eyes, I slowly opened them again and found myself in a foreign place. Where was 1 What beeping noise?

I looked around me and when it dawned on me where I was, I started heaving. No, I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to lie in this bed

I looked at my arms and saw an IV. What were they giving me? I wanted to get out of her.

I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain penetrated my abdomen and my leg, making me yelp.

Suddenly, I found two nurses in the room with me. My mind couldn't comprehend what they were saying, but they were trying to get me to

down.

""L. I don't w-want

to be h-here," I stammered, already feeling hot tears in my eyes.

"You're s-safe. You need to calm down. Nobody is going to hurt you here, the nurse told me, keeping my back against the mattress as her gentle hands kept me down.

"W-what happened?" I asked her, still crying.

"You got shot, but we were able to save you" she replied, making my eyes go wide.

I got shot!

Memories started to flood my brain. I remembered feeling like my guts were being

torn apart and how I couldn't stand on my feet and being in Julian's arms as he tried to calm me down. I remembered how Rosie was the first person who came to my mind when I thought that I was about to die. I didn't want to leave her while she was that young. She still needed me.

"Julian where's Julian"" was he okay" Did something happen to him! My memory was still blurry as I couldn't recall everything, but as far as my mind could take me, I believe that he wasn't harmed. "Who is he?" the nurse wondered.

"My hus-" I caught myself before saying husband. He wasn't my husband. "He's my boyfriend. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He is a bit tanned."

"Oh, I know who you're talking about. He is in the waiting room. Would you like to see him?" I immediately nodded. I needed to ser a familiar face. I didn't want to be alone here.. "Help me sit up, please," I requested, and she did so.

I impatiently waited for him. I wanted to make sure that he wasn't hurt in the process. I was scared that my mind might be fooling me into thinkin that he was okay when he wasn'tNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Somebody entered the room and I immediately looked up, thinking that it was Julian, but it was just the doctor. After asking me a bunch of questions and making sure that I was okay, she left me on my own. I didn't want to be in the company of somebody I didn't know, so the left.

I just wanted to see Julian or anybody from my family.

Again, somebody opened the door and this time, I managed to smile. When my eyes landed on him, I wanted to jump out of the bed and throw myself in his arms. Instead, he rushed to me, closing the distance between us. Gently, he engulfed me in his embrace and kept "I was purified of losing you, sunshine," he whispered, kissing my lips.

"You didn't get hurt, right" "I couldn't help but ask

"No. I'm perfectly fine." he assured me as he took me

k me in his arms again,

"I want to get out of here. I don't want to stay here. I plearled

"We need to make

sure that you're okay first, Emily," he said, caressing my hair. "You're still in the ICU, sunshine" My mum died in the ICU (data). want to dar here. I didn't want to die yet. There were still so many things I wanted to do. I wasn't ready to leave everything behinil. 1030 AM

"Hey, look at me." Julian said, holding my chin with his index and thumb as he tilted my head up. "Nothing bad is going to happen

to you here. talked to the chief of the hospital and asked him to keep bodyguards outside your room. You're done with surgeries, so there's no reason to be scared, okay?" Julian wouldn't lie to me and I was certain that he would do anything to keep me safe. "Okay." I whispered. "How long have I been here!" Was I in a coma or something?

"We only got here yesterday," he replied. That was good. I didn't want to be here for long.

"Do you know when I can get out?" I wanted to leave now, but that was probably impossible.

"In three days, sunshine, if nothing goes wrong. Would something go wrong? What would go wrong? "And I'm sure that nothing would go wrong." he spoke to my panicky brain.

"What did you tell Rosie! Please don't tell me that you told her I got shot" I said.

"No, I didn't tell her

I nodded, taking a deep

deep breath, but ended up placing my hand on my abdomen when it racked with pain.

"Is everything okay!" he asked me with concern in his voice.

"My stomach hurts, I mumbled. Carefully, I tried to lift the hospital gown I was wearing and saw the huge bandage on my stomach. There was another one on my leg.

Julian's phone rang and just by looking at his face, I knew that it was an important phone call "Are you okay if I leave you on your own for a little while? I need to make a few phone calls and talk to your doctor. Is this okay with you?" he asked me. "Yeah, don't worry about me," I assured him with a small smile. "Can you just help me lie down?" He did as I asked and kissed my forehead before heading out of the room. Despite wanting to know who was calling him. I felt that he needed some privacy for now.

I was still in a state of disbelief. I couldn't believe that I was about to die like that. I was thankful for being alive. I knew that I would never take my life for granted ever again. All I wanted to know was who did that to me, but I had a feeling that I already knew the answer and
