Chapter 006

ISABELLA’S POV

I slowly fluttered my eyes open and looked around the room which was almost dark wondering how long I'd been asleep..

I glanced over at the bedside and was glad he'd fallen Asleep.

Went straight to the bathroom, took a quick shower and changed my clothes before hurrying Back to the room and just when I was about to relax, he suddenly opened his eyes..

“ I'm thirsty..” His voice was unusually deeper than before and I immediately got him a glass of water.

“ Where's the straw?” He asked and I got him a straw without hesitation..

I set the glass aside after helping him drink water.

I tucked him in when a knock landed on the door and Justin alongside Stefan walked in with a smile plastered on his face.

“ oh hey, Justin..” I stood up with a bright smile on my face..

“ Come give me a hug, baby girl..” his arms were spread wide with a smile plastered on his face and hurried towards him without hesitation and hugged him tightly.. unbeknownst to me someone wasn't really happy about it..

“ God I missed you , Justin..” I hugged him tightly before pulling away when I realized where we were..

“ Let me help you with that, Buddy..” Stefan took the fruit basket from him while grinning from ear to ear and set it aside..

“ You look so tired and pale. Do you wanna go home and rest a bit?” He pulled my cheeks with a worried expression on his face and someone cleared his throat in annoyance..

“ Oh I'm so sorry, Lord Kristen.. How are you feeling now?” Justin let go of Me and turned to Kristen with a serious expression.

“ And you're?” Kristen asked with a stern expression and I decided to intervene immediately..

“ This is Justin… he's my friend..” I introduced him to Kristen because I could already tell he was getting angry..

“ Your friend?” There was sarcasm in his voice as he spoke..

“ Ehm, have you eaten anything yet?” Stefan asked Changing the topic entirely..

“ Not really but-”

“ Great! Justin, can you please take her out for dinner? I'm afraid she's gonna get sick from taking care of Kristen..” Stefan suggested but I tried to protest because I knew Kristen wouldn't have some to look after him while I'm gone..

“ But what about Kristen? I still need to stay with him..” I protested..

“ Why does she need to go with this man?” Kristen glared daggers at his brother and I couldn't help but wonder what was up with these two..

“ Remind me again who the hell is this man?” Kristen didn't hold back his irritation as he spoke..

“ Oh this Justin, My best friend.” I introduced Justin to him with a smile but of course Kristen wasn't convinced.

“ Don't worry, Isabelle I'll take care of him, you can leave with Justin..” Stefan insisted and I hesitantly nodded in agreement..

“ That's a great idea, baby girl.. we have got a lot to talk about..” Smiled and for some reason I could feel the hostility toward Justin but shrugged it off..

“ Alright then … I'll be back, Stefan please take care of him..” I said and left with Justin immediately leaving Kristen With his brother..

Justin took me to the restaurant right outside the hospital and made sure to order everything I would definitely like..

Even though the table was covered with dishes I really love, I couldn't help but heave a sigh as I played with my meal..

I'd no appetite at the moment and no matter how hard I tried to like the dishe in front of me I couldn't help but sigh repeatedly..

“ Are you still feeling bad?”I raised my head immediately Justin spoke and I heaved a sigh once again before dropping my spoon completely..

“ I can't take it off my head..” I truthfully answered.

Even though everyone had assured me that everything was gonna alright as long as I made him remember but of course no one knew when that was gonna happen..

“ You know you can always give me a call whenever you're not okay, right?” Justin and I had been friends since forever back in highschool we were called the ‘hot trio’ alongside Diana..

Speaking of Diana.

“ Did you speak to Diana?” I asked while trying to shift the topic from us…

“ I see what you're doing and I'll intentionally play along.” Justin narrowed his eyes at me and I chuckled softly..

My eyes brightened up when he got me a slice of chocolate cake..

That has always been my favorite thing..

“ Diana had left for Paris last night. She'd have to be at the set on time.” He informed me but I simply took the cake from him without hesitation and began taking big bites..

“ She left me a few messages..” She decided to tease him while stuffing my mouth with cake..

Diana have always had feelings for Justin and of course she was always aggressive about it but unfortunately Justin is in love with another and he'd made sure to keep it a secret.

He leaned against his palm on the table while he stared at me intensely..

“ You can always walk away if he doesn't remember you..” Justin murmured with a worried expression and I smiled..

“ He's my husband, Justin and I can't leave him alone..” Kristen has made sure that I love him to the point where I can't do without him..

Justin heaved a sigh and a sad smile flashed through his face..

“ I would always respect your decisions because I love you so much..” he tucked a strand of my hair behind gently and I chuckled..

“ I love you too, big bro..” his hand froze mid air but immediately dropped them..

Justin had always been like the brother I never had..

He was always there for me and treated me with love and respect, something a big brother would do for his sister..

“ Yeah I guess I'll always be a big bro to you..” he mumbled with a smile on face and I wondered what he was on about..

“ Don't you think it's high time you get married?” I mumbled while stuffing my mouth and he almost choked on his water..

“ Jeez! BELLA! Do you wanna kill me?” He glared playfully at me and I burst out laughing..

“ I'm so sorry if I caught you off guard but it is true you need to get married soon. Dad is gonna bug you about it soon..” Dad had always treated Diana and Justin as his children and was always going on and on about them getting married and giving him grandchildren..

“ Are you done eating? Do you want something else?” He asked, trying to change the subject and I chuckled softly…

“ Yeah I think I'm good.” I nodded..

“ Somebody's gonna get jealous if I don't return you to him…” Justin jokingly said and I didn't really catch on what he was talking about but decided not to think too much about it..

We both went back to the hospital and as soon as I walked in, Kristen called out for me..

He was actually talking with his secretary when I walked in with Justin..

“ Are you okay? Do you need anything?” I asked with a worried expression and he pointed to his legs.

“ I need a massage..” He calmly said while staring intensely at Justin…

“ Kindly tell me where it hurts, okay?” I said with a smile and he nodded..

He'd broken one of his legs and arms in the accident so he was definitely bound to feel sore from staying in bed all day..

Kristen wasn't the type to stay cooped up in a hospital bed for that long and if my guess was right, he was actually trying to talk to his secretary into getting him discharged..

He began messaging his thigh and also made sure not to apply too much pressure..

Even though he couldn't remember anything, He was still my husband and it was my duty to take care of him..

“Does it hurt?” I asked as kept massaging his thighs and he nodded with a straight face..

“ Argh!” He groaned in pain while holding onto his head and immediately let go of his legs and moved closer to him..

We were so close I could feel his hot breath against my face..

“ Are you okay?”
