I Married My Grumpy Patient! 158- I HATE THIS. ALL OF IT
My heart pounded and a pool of tears found its way to the back of my eyes. They threatened to pour as I stared at Moore hastily driving towards the house.The tires screeched and he drove past other cars. With the way he drove, every other person could tell it was an emergency; an emergency because I needed to see.I wasn't able to believe it. No, my dreaded thoughts couldn't have come to reality. Mum and Christie couldn't be dead.I'm sure the call was a prank call. I was excited yesterday; I was problem free. It couldn't have happened. My Christie will be safe.But then it rang in my head again. If Christie was in danger, then it was my fault. I was probably the worst mother on earth.We left France in the morning. We took the next flight back here. I needed to be sure the call was fake; I needed Mum and Christie here with me.Thankfully, Moore's car came to a halt in our compound and I rushed out. I picked up my heels and ran to the entrance. My heart throbbed and my breath became
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 159- LET US START AGAIN, FAR WAY.
Moore had gone quiet. I couldn't blame him. My heart was too heavy, and what I was feeling could not be expressed in words. But his care, concern, and need to make me feel better warmed my heart.The door swung open, and the person responsible for our abduction finally stepped into the room."It's about time you showed yourself, coward," Moore bit out at the approaching figure who didn't spare him a glance.She was focused on me. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes locked with familiar orbs. No way. This could not be.But it was: Alicia, my step-sister. The one who had torn our family and separated me from Moore all those years ago. The mix of anger and fear welled up inside me, but I held my ground, refusing to show any sign of weakness."Well, well, well! We meet again, sister," she sneered and cackled, swinging a silver Swiss Army paring knife.I was sorely tempted to scream at her and wipe that smirk off her face, but I pulled myself together. Don't give her satisfaction.Alicia's
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 160- YOU AND ME, FOREVER
"No, Moore," I replied, my voice heavy with determination. "She's cost me too much. We did the same with Louisa, and she only escaped. I won't let Alicia slip through our fingers again.""Amber, we will make sure the police do their job well if that's what you're afraid of. But we can't take the laws into our hands just like that. Let's follow due processes," Moore's voice pleaded with me from the driver's seat, his words laced with reason and the hope for justice.He tried to convince me that we should turn Alicia over to the police, and let them handle the consequences of her actions. But I couldn't bring myself to comply. Not this time.The weight of our past, the pain Alicia had inflicted upon me, resurfaced with every word. Forgiveness and love had always been one-sided, a futile attempt on my part to salvage what was lost. Now, it was time for me to take control of my destiny. And that will begin by making sure that nobody, starting with Alicia, could ever hurt me or my loved on
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 161- MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE
Moore rubbed my shoulders comfortingly. "Come on up, Amber. We have to head home." He rose and held out his hand towards me. I shook my head."I can manage. You go and start the car. Get it running. I just need a moment to breathe," I uttered. I could barely recognize my voice. It was rusty, and I felt pains in the back of my throat when I spoke.Moore nodded his assent and strode to the car.Scrambling to my feet, I sighed. "Well. This is it. I'm only leaving this place, but you're forever in my heart."The scorching desert sun bore down on my weary shoulders as I stumbled towards the car. The weight of grief still sat heavy in my chest. All I wanted to do was escape the suffocating air of this wilderness.As I neared the car, my vision blurred, and the world around me swirled into an incoherent mess of colors. Darkness crept in, swallowing my consciousness, and I crumpled to the ground. My vision was failing"Amber!" I heard Moore's panicked cry a distance away, and the shuffling of

"Heyyy...you okay?" Moore asked softly. His eyebrows furrowed in concern."I'm fine. I guess the spin on the beach has me a little dizzy. But I loved it."Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm bluish glow in the room. I sat on our bed, resting my back on a pile of pillows Moore had earlier stacked against the headboard. I sighed in contentment and pleasure.Moore lay beside me. His arms surrounded my swollen belly protectively, and his fingers made circular ticklish patterns. They made me giggle. We marveled at the miracle growing within me. Our baby, our little bundle of joy."George is going to be such a lucky child," Moore's s voice held awe and tenderness. We had talked about naming him and agreed to name him George after my father."And you, my love, will be an amazing mother. And you're an amazing psychologist. What do you think about practicing again after George is born?"I let out a soft sigh in agreement, but a hint of uncertainty lingered in my eyes. "

EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER"Mom, do you think I'll do well today?" George asked, a touch of nervousness in his voice.I paused in adjusting the collar of his soccer jersey and turned around to look at him and myself in the mirror. I understood where his fears came from. George had a crucial tournament to play in, and he was the star player of his team. That came with a lot of expectations from people, which put a lot of responsibilities on his eighteen-year-old shoulder.I smiled warmly at him, making sure he saw years of love and support in my eyes that weren't going away for any reason. "You've trained hard, George. You'll go out there and give it your all. No matter the outcome, your father and I will always be proud of you."He grinned. "Thanks, Mom," he gave me a hasty kiss on the cheek and sat on the bed to put on his boots.The pride in my heart swelled as I watched him tie his shoelaces. His determination was evident in his focused gaze. "Hey Mom, how long does it take Dad to retri
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 1/ NO GOING BACK!
"You can't do this to me...You just can't!" I snapped and ran my hands through my hair. My eyes stung with tears and my stomach twisted as I glared at that man I had been willing to walk down the aisle with. The entire alliance had been fixed to ensure my family's fortune was secured. After my father passed away two years ago, the only way for me to reclaim his properties from our hungry and desperate relatives was to get married before twenty-five. My twenty-fifth birthday was just a month away and now, I found out that the man I was supposed to marry was a cheat. I wrapped my arms around myself and refused to make eye contact with James. He rested on the wall opposite me and ran his hands through his hair too many times for comfort; I sighed. So many thoughts were running through my mind.The wedding was in two weeks. The engagement had already happened and now I found out that he had a wife and two kids somewhere in Manila — Yet he wanted to marry me as a second wife?
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 2/ MY TURN
A sob escaped my lips once I entered a cab. I couldn't believe I had done it. For several years I dreaded the moment I would take over from my mother and manage the finances of our family. I wanted a simple life; That wasn't too much to ask, was it? Yet in my family, it had always been different. Mother was obsessed with dictating our futures and playing chess with the outcomes. Everything went downhill after my father died. She changed completely and she became a control freak. Sometimes, I wish I could go back in time and fix whatever broke in her the day he died. The car pulled to a halt and I gasped at the movement. "We're here ma'am" The driver's thick voice pulled me back to reality. I swallowed. The last time I had been here; It ended in a huge argument. Belene would not be pleased to see me. But she would be pleased to know my decision. I paid for the cab and got out of the car. I took in a deep breath and stared at the apartment in front of me for a few moments. Well, h
