I’m Just His Wife

When we arrived at the glass door of the hospital, the guard immediately let us in. Xyleus was ahead of me in entering because I couldn’t step on my feet. I ‘m nervous. I don’t know what”s going on right now with my best friend and her husband. I didn’t know how I was going to explain this to Roxanne and the kids.

But even though I felt like that, I still tried to step on my foot and run to the front desk. I can’t be without Andrea now. He needs me.

“Where’s Ivan De Leon and Andrea Steinfields? They were the ones in the ambulance earlier. They’re gunshot patients.” Xyleus asked the nurse at the front desk.

A nurse looked up at him and checked the computer in front of him. “Wait, sir. I’ll just look at the monitor for a moment. Three ambulances arrived at the same time earlier …” said the nurse while typing something on the computer.

My sigh was loud. I also closed my eyes firmly and combed my one hand through my hair. I feel frustrated and fallen right now. I can no longer think straight because of so much nervousness. Only now has the bullet hit Andrea in the delicate part of her body and I am not used to that.

While Ivan, I’m also worried about him. There was a chance that he will be harmed because I could clearly see earlier that he was hit in the chest by a bullet. I don’t know how to explain that to Andrea because she had already lost consciousness before Ivan was even shot.

Everything happened that fast. Earlier, he and his wife were just flirting and now they were both lost and were now in the hospital. Even I did not expect what happened. I didn’t think of Kuya because I was so complacent that we had killed his men. To my great delight, I forgot that something bad could happen.

“Sir, they just finished being checked in the emergency room and right now they were in the operating room undergoing surgery.” said the nurse so I immediately woke up and immediately confronted her.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“In which floor was that?” I asked. I preceded Xyleus, who had just spoken.

From looking at us the nurse again lowered her gaze to the computer. “Hmm, Ms. Andrea Steinfields was in the operating room on the fourth floor while Mr. De Leon was in the operating room on the seventh floor.” the nurse replied and looked at us again.

I looked at Xyleus and he looked at me exactly. His forehead was already sweating and his face was obviously nervous and very worried.

‘thank you, nurse.” Xyleus turned to the nurse and nodded.

He turned to me again and took my hand. He was about to walk and pull me but I stopped him immediately. He looked at me with his confused expression. Even his forehead was slowly wrinkling.

I just sighed and looked at the nurse. It also looked at us while the expression was astonished.

“How about Marilyn Enriquez? Where was her room?” I will ask.

The nurse’s mouth opened and her forehead furrowed for a moment. But after a while it nodded. “Ah, was that shot in the shoulder, Mam?” he asked.

I immediately nodded. “Yes. Where was she?”

“He’s already in the regular room, as far as I know. My friend was Doc’s assistant so he told me that. And he’s the one, he’s room 309 on the third floor.” replied the nurse who asked me again.

“Okay thank you.” I smiled at the nurse and she smiled back at me. I turned to Xyleus and saw him staring at me seriously. Shit, why was he so handsome now? But … ugh! This was not the right time to criticize that! Then maybe when I said that to her, her body wind became even stronger.

“Come on? Maybe that’s what’s going on there with those two.” yaya ko sakanya.

He sneezed and blinked. Wait, was he stunned? He gently hugged me and started walking so I was able to walk as well. He pulled my hand but I could still feel his care there.

We stopped in front of a free elevator because I saw your two elevators occupied the side. Xyleus pressed the door open button and the elevator immediately opened. We went inside while he was still holding my hand. I noticed the coldness of Xyleus’ palm so I knew he was nervous. I know him very well.

He pressed the door close button and I watched the door slowly close. I suddenly felt even more intense nervousness. What if something bad happened to the couple? How were their children? They still need parents. They still need to be formed as a family. I know my best friend will be happy when that happens.

I bit my lower lip and gulped. Maybe I’m just too paranoid. Nothing bad will happen to Ivan and Andrea. They’re both strong. I know that. I have been with them in battles that were not the same as before but I know they were strong and they can overcome it.

“I’ll just go to Ivan while you go to Andrea.” Xyleus suddenly said so I turned to him. “But … was that okay with you? It’s also okay if you want to go with Andrea. I’ll just call someone to get some news about Ivan’s condition.”

I immediately shook hands with him. “No, Xyleus. Don’t worry about me. I’ll just go to Andrea. Besides, your best friend needs you more than I do. I can handle myself.” I smiled sparingly at him.

He leaned over me and stroked my hair, which made me a little surprised. “were you sure? I can really go with you, Darlyn. Just tell me that you want to-”

I bit my lower lip and stared at him. Xyleus was getting importunate right now, huh? He’s been teasing me more and more. “I said it’s fine, Xyleus. You’re going to Ivan and I’m going to Andrea. End of the story.” I stared at him before hitting the fourth floor and then the seventh floor. I shrugged and waited for the elevator to start.

Maybe I’ll visit Amethyst later since the nurse said earlier that she’s fine. Right now Andrea was my top concern. He can’t be lost because I still need him. Her children need her, I still need her. I can’t quite imagine what will happen to us when he disappears. Suppose in the puzzle was that when he was gone we will not be formed at all. We will connect because of him.

The elevator rang and the door opened. I went out but Xyleus still wouldn’t let go of my hand so I stayed in front of the elevator. I raised an eyebrow at him as he smiled at me wryly. Maybe he was tired because of the amount we had done before. Instead of me shooting at Kuya’s men earlier, he took over my targets. He blocked me even though I was already scolding him. Tsk, it’s really rude anytime.

“Can you rest first, Xyleus? You look tired …” I said worriedly to him.

He shook his head and slightly erased his smile. “No, Darlyn. Ivan needs me, like what you’ve said a while ago. I can’t leave him even though he really needs me. He didn’t leave my side when I had a lot of problems. He helped me resolve the That’s why I want to be by his side now. I want to repay what he has done for me. At least in this way … ”

I smiled slowly. Xyleus and Ivan were my own definition of real best of friends. You do not leave in times of need. You were always there for each other. I know Andrea and I were like that but Xyleus was different. That”s deeper than us.

And most of all I”m glad Xyleus was no longer ashamed to express how he really feels. He used to be a very serious person and he rarely said ‘I love you’ or ‘I miss you’ to me. I kept thinking about what I was for him. But now I can see the change that has happened to him and it really makes my heart fat.

“Everything will be alright, Xyleus. Ivan will be fine. Just trust me.” I touched his shoulder and stroked it and then patted it.

He took another deep breath. He smiled at me and I saw the twinkle pass through his eyes. “Yes. I always have my faith, sweetheart. And then I believe that Ivan will not die. That animal was a weed. Maybe the god in heaven will reject it.” he grinned before laughing. I jokingly slapped him and laughed at him. This man even managed to joke!

‘that’s good, sweetheart.” I said smiling at him.

Her eyes widened slightly so I was amazed. What must have surprised him?

“Did you really call me ‘sweetheart’?” though smiling I could see the amazement on his face.

My eyes also widened but I immediately stopped and just sneezed. “You heard it, Xyleus. Why were you still asking?” I tried to tap my voice. This mouth was already here!

“You called me ‘sweetheart’. There’s nothing left to lose, Darlyn. We’re now officially back together.” he said smiling and his voice was full of joy.

‘tsk, yes! All right! Let me go and I’ll go to Andrea.” I tried to pull my hand away but he tightened his grip there.

“An ‘I love you, sweetheart’ first before I leave. It’s like I have strength. You know, those three magical words of yours give me enough energy.” his grin widened even more and I noticed the teasing there. Hayst! Really stupid!

I looked at him and pulled my hand away. “What were you, who’s lucky? I love you-hin your face!” I shouted at him.

“Oh, don’t be conceited, sweetheart. I’m just asking you for an ‘I love you’. Please, just so I can have strength. You know, I’m damn tired because of that fucking battle a while ago.” he grinned and squeezed his senses as if he were really tired.

My expression changed immediately. Oh, damn his convincing skills! I immediately felt concerned about his acting.

“Fine.” I disgusted promise but I did not succeed in pretending to be disgusted. The pity I felt for him still prevailed. “I love you, Xyleus. I love you, sweetheart. I love you even if you’re a plain stupid and jerk.” I sincerely promised while looking into his eyes.

Xyleus stared at me and didn’t speak after I said those words. I could also feel the heat slowly rising on both my cheeks. It was embarrassing, okay? But hell, I can’t stop my mouth to speak.

Xyleus smiled again but now you don’t have a mixture of anything but joy. He did the right thing because I would really attack him when he shut me up.

“I only asked for one ‘I love you’ but you said three.” he said laughing so I was about to punch him but he broke my fist. “But it’s okay. It made me happy.” his earlier smile was replaced by a very beautiful smile that I have only now seen again.
