Chapter 104 Edwardchloe - Don't Leave Me

• Chloe staggered towards the treatment room with a chaotic state of mind and heart. The feelings of love and happiness he had just taken now overflowed and were replaced by deep sadness, the fruit of the calamity that had just befallen her husband. Patricia and Liliana, who were well aware that Chloe wasn't feeling well, decided to continue to accompany them. This is all done so that pregnant women are protected from unwanted things. I'm just afraid that the woman's stress will affect the fetus she is carrying. "Come on, honey." Patricia rebuked when the three of them stood right in front of the room where Edward was being treated. "Believe me, your husband will be fine. I'm pretty sure he will recover soon." Liliana also nodded. His hand revealed the strands of hair that covered the son-in-law's cheeks. A tired and sad expression was visible on the woman's face. "Don't be sad anymore. Edward will surely wake up soon, dear. How could he be willing to just leave a beautiful wife like you." Chloe held back tears. Back to the hug of the mother-in-law. It was very difficult for him to go through times like this. In the middle of their pregnancy, she had to find her husband was hit by a very serious accident. Meanwhile, Edward's friends are still engaged in conversation in a different place. They were all discussing what had just happened to the sole heir of the Martin family. "Then how's Roland's latest news? Has that man been apprehended?" Jacob asked Hans. "I've already contacted the fellow officers there. They said that Roland had received treatment at the military hospital. Once his condition improves, the man will soon be serving a follow-up sentence." Lucas pulled his face in. "So the guy was injured too?" Hans nodded. He took a deep breath to ease the tightness in his chest. "Officer bullets lodged in his legs and arms. This was all due to Roland trying to fire another shot. He even tried to aim at me. That guy really went too far." "Good grief!" Lucas shouted again. His jaw hardened. The look in the man's eyes was disapproving. "Why not just shoot him dead? He's clearly a danger to everyone. This can't be left alone!" Hans chuckled. Lucas was right. What Roland did was very dangerous to the lives of others. The man deserved the reward he deserved. "Don't worry. I've coordinated with the team of lawyers that Edward previously appointed to discuss the new lawsuit. Besides, Mr. Alexander asked that his nephew be punished to the fullest. He doesn't care anymore about blood relations or kinship between them. Roland has crossed the line. The man must be held accountable for his actions." "So Edward's parents had to intervene in this matter?" Lucas asked again. Hans nodded repeatedly. "Even Mrs. Liliana looks so furious. She doesn't accept any apology from the Roland family either." "If you lack a team of lawyers, just use the ones who usually handle cases at Alexis," Jacob offered. During this time, the man did have several lawyers he could rely on. "What happened to Edward must be acted upon immediately." "But by the way..." Nicholas interrupted his friends' conversation. Like there was something he wanted to ask. "As I recall, Edward is involved in an important project, right? Then who is handling it now? It could be dangerous if no one is responsible for handling this work. The company could be subject to a finalty." Hans sighed. He remembered the big project that was currently being worked on by Edward. Moreover, the man now did not have an assistant. After all, the project almost failed because of the sabotage carried out by Roland and Nicholas. Fortunately, the only child of Alexander Martin is indeed smart. Very sensitive when someone wants to do evil to him. "Yes, a project with Emaar properties, right? Currently, Samuel, Chloe's assistant is helping to carry out the project. It is fortunate that the man understands, even has the basics about the ins and outs of the property business like this. For that, with the help of other engineers, all the tasks Samuel will work on dealing with Emaar until Edward's condition improves." "Thank goodness..." Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief.
• "In that case, just waiting for news of Edward's health development. Hopefully, the delinquent will come to his senses in the near future." Lucas shook his head. The man's face turned into a grin. "You make fun of him at times like this, Nick. He's your best friend." "Your best friend too, Kai," Nicholas replied. "But even so, I love and even worry about him. Hopefully there will be some good news after this. It's so empty that there's no one I can fight with like usual." Silence long enough. Everyone was silent again until not long after Jacob chose to get up from his seat. The man checked the watch on his wrist and then spoke again. "Then I'll say goodbye first." The man afterward got ready. "Please notify me immediately of any developments regarding Edward's condition, Hans." Hans nodded in understanding. "Yes sir." **** "Ed ... it's your second day of sleep. Are you having a sweet dream? To the point where you don't want to open your eyes just to see me? Said you love me. Why aren't you waking up now?" Chloe smiled bitterly right next to Edward, who was lying still. This is the man's second day in the hospital. The doctor had just said that the brown-eyed man had passed his critical period, but until this moment, it had not shown any change. Was worried, the doctor again made sure that Edward's condition was fine. All of the man's vital organs even worked as they should. There are no signs that suggest complications or abnormalities watch out for. "According to observations, your husband has made it through a critical period. Generally, it takes 24 hours to come back to his senses." "That means, there's nothing to worry about?" Chloe asked for sure. The doctor nodded. "Of course. Everything is going well. Let's just pray that Mr. Edward wakes up soon. But I'm sure it won't take long, madam." "Chloe…" From behind, Patricia seemed to enter the room and then called out. Awaken her from her daydream. "You don't want to eat? Mama remembers you haven't even put food in your stomach yet." Chloe turned. The next thing the woman did was shake her head slowly. "Later, Mom. I'm not that hungry yet." "Honey..." Patricia interrupted her son's words. "It's not just Edward you should pay attention to. There are other creatures that need your attention too." Patricia then brought her index finger. Pointing openly at the child's stomach, which began to bulge. "Aren't you worried that the baby in your womb is malnourished?" Chloe took several deep breaths. Busy thinking about Edward, she had neglected her health. Especially the child in her womb. "Okay, I'll eat after this," said Chloe quietly. The woman's face was still dark. Patricia immediately shook her head and then answered. "You just wait here. Mama will buy food for you. After eating, you should also get some rest." Chloe just nodded. She was letting Patricia go to buy some food. Meanwhile, her focus returned to Edward. He kept squeezing the man's wrist while occasionally kissing him. "Hurry up and wake up. Didn't you promise to always be with me until we both grow old? Now, please keep that promise." Chloe just kept talking. Acting as if Edward listened to all the babble he had been throwing up in his sleep. "You should know, Ed. I'm not even sick anymore now. It seems our baby understands the condition that his parents are going through. They are really smart." "Ed ... you need to wake up. I beg of you." "For God's sake, I would do anything so that we could be together again." Chloe wiped away the tears that had fallen. It was very sad to see Edward, still frozen stiff in his sleeping position. Before long, the woman kissed the back of her husband's hand while speaking again. "If you continue like this, who will take care of me? Who will accompany me to sleep? Who will hug me until I fall asleep?" Chloe took a deep breath. He felt that what he had done so far was in vain. Edward did not respond to all his words. "Or did you do this on purpose? Are you willing to replace your position with another man? Or maybe you want to see me being hugged or accompanied by another man to sleep? If that's what you want, I'll do it right away." For the sake of hearing those words, whether it was a coincidence or a miracle, Chloe could feel Edward's fingers slowly moving.
• The next second, the man's eyelids began to open slowly. Realizing this, Chloe naturally jumped in surprise. Immediately he lost the vocabulary in his head. She watched in amazement how Edward started to wake up from his long sleep. "Edward ..." With teary eyes, Chloe pressed the Emergency button located right above the bed. He did this so that the nurses immediately came to the room to check on his husband's condition. Then without permission again, the woman immediately landed a hug. "Are you awake?" she asked, sobbing. How could he stop himself from crying? It feels so happy to see the husband, who had been lying still, is now awake. "Why did it take so long to wake up?" The woman had time to protest. "Just so you know, I'm really worried about you!" "Sorry for worrying you. That's why ..." Edward took a deep breath. "I-I have to get up soon," the man replied, annoyed. His chest was visible, heaving up and down like someone struggling to breathe. Or maybe because they are still adjusting. "If I'm not mistaken, earlier I heard you wanted to replace my position with another man. Is that right?" While crying, Chloe looked up and chuckled. It was funny to hear that half-conscious Edward even protested at him. "If you don't wake up, I was already thinking about replacing you with another man." Edward smiled faintly. He slowly brought his hand, trying to reach Chloe's cheek and then wiping the remaining tears there. "No way!" he said slowly but firmly. "Step over my corpse first if you dare to snatch you from my side." Chloe took a deep breath and let it out slowly to relieve the tightness that previously filled her chest. The sadness he had previously felt was now gone and replaced with a happy and grateful smile. God seemed to hear the prayers that he had been praying non-stop. "I missed you," Chloe whispered. "Please don't ever leave me like this again. I'm going crazy, Ed." Chloe also didn't know when she had started to have a crush on him. He couldn't even be sure what had made him submit to the figure of the man he used to hate so much. Samuel must have laughed when he saw this moment. Don't forget that this man had forced Chloe to stop the feelings of revenge burning in her heart for a long time. "So..." Edward responded. "Are you afraid of losing me?" Chloe nodded repeatedly. "Of course. You idiot! Why ask like that. If you do this again, I will really look for another man who can accompany and protect me." Edward smiled again. Still, he tried to keep responding to his wife's words in a condition not fully improved. "I promise this is the last time you worry." "Don't just promise, Ed!" Chloe protests. "Before entering the hospital, you also promised not to leave me." "But the proof I did not leave you, right?" interrupted Edward. "I'm still here, with you." Chloe nodded and then hugged Edward's still weak body. "I love you." "My feelings for you haven't even changed one bit," Edward replied. Not long after, the doctor and nurse came into the room. They quickly took action to examine the condition of Edward, who had just woken up from his long slumber. "I just want to make sure that Mr. Edward is doing very well. There's nothing more to worry about. After this, he can be transferred to the normal treatment room." Chloe nodded happily. "That means, the rest are undergoing treatment for recovery, right?" "That's right. Maybe in three or four days your husband will be home." It didn't take long because the nurses on duty removed Edward moments later. The man was finally able to occupy the treatment room like a patient.
