Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 107: We’re A Family
Julia’s POVLooking at Andrew, I saw the love radiating from his eyes. But even so, I paused.Is that what it meant? Were Andrew and I in love again? It felt like we were. We’d been through so much and we were still here, by each other side. Was the moment I’d been waiting for? The moment when everything would snap into place and Andrew and I could finally start a new life together?I couldn’t think of a less romantic place than the hospital, but at the end of the day, what did it matter? All that mattered was that I was with Andrew.Biting my lip, I tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear. And then I nodded.Oliver’s entire face lit up and he grinned from ear to ear.“Really?” he asked, taking a step towards us. His happy reaction made me laugh out loud.“Yes, really,” I told Oliver. Then I collected Oliver onto my lap and took Andrew’s hand. “I love you,” I said to Andrew. “I always have. Even in the darkest times, my heart stayed with you.”Andrew’s eyes welled up with tears as
Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 106: Recovery
Andrew’s POVAfter lunch, a nurse came by and asked if Oliver wanted to watch a movie with some of the children from the children’s ward downstairs. Apparently it was something the hospital did for kids every Sunday.Oliver nodded excitedly, then he took off with his hand in the nurse’s.The moment he was gone, I turned to Julia.“I’m so sorry,” I said. “I should have let Oliver come sooner. I was being prideful and stupid.”“It’s okay,” she said, gathering up the lunch mess we’d made. “I understand.”Reaching her wrist with my good arm, I stopped her.“That’s the thing, Julia. You always understand. You’ve always been so supportive. Listen, I’ve had a lot of time to think here in the hospital. There are things I need to say to you. I wanted to say them that night at the gala, but then, well, the night went sort of sideways.”Julia rolled her eyes and chuckled. “That’s an understatement,” she said. But she put down the plastic bag and perched on the side of the bed.Looking into her e
Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 105: Hero Arm
Andrew’s POV“Look who’s here?” Julia popped her head into the door. Struggling to sit up, I remembered that my arm was paralyzed and my heart dropped.The doctors told me it was permanent, but I didn’t believe that. With modern medicine and all the technology breakthroughs, there had to be a way to repair my arm. It had become a fixation of mine the past few days in the hospital.Julia reminded me that I was lucky to be alive whenever I brought up my arm. Wasn’t that enough, she asked.And of course I was grateful. For all intents and purposes, I should have died. Apparently, I did. For a few minutes at least.But still…I was so angry at myself for the whole ordeal. It had all been my fault as far as I was concerned, since I’d ignored Charlotte and her plan. I should have turned her into the police the moment I found she was trying to rob my corporate account. If I had, then none of this would have happened, I would still have a working arm.Julia stepped into the room, with Oliver
Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 104: Recovery
Julia’s POVFive days later“All right, cowboy,” I said, entering Andrew’s room. “I have homemade lasagna, or spaghetti and meatballs. Pick your poison.”Andrew smiled at me from the hospital bed. He changed his position, struggling to sit up.“Don’t move,” I chastised him. “Remember what the doctor said? You need to rest. And that means no sitting up.”Walking over to his bed, I punched the button that lifted his seat to a sitting position. I was happy to see that a bit of color had returned to his cheeks.He was looking better than he had yesterday, but he was still a far cry from his old self.His heart had stopped the day after his surgery, so they’d taken him back in. Officially, he’d died. That’s what the doctor told me. But he was a fighter, and they managed to resuscitate him.It was a miracle, and overcome with emotion, I’d literally collapsed onto my knees right there, in the hospital hallway.Andrew was now officially stabilized, and out of the woods, so to speak. But he st
Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 103: Waiting
Julia’s POV“I’m sorry, but visiting hours are over.”A nurse stood at the door, a sympathetic smile on her face. I barely glanced up at her, Andrew’s hand in mine as the machine beeped to the left of him.“I’m not leaving,” I told her firmly. She was the third nurse to come by in less than an hour.“But miss,” she started.I lifted my head and shot her a glare. She paused, her expression still sympathetic.“Okay, love,” she said softly. “You can stay. But just for tonight.”I was going to stay as long as I damn well pleased, I thought to myself. There was no way I was leaving Andrew’s side.His naked chest was wrapped in a giant bandage. He was hooked up to an IV, his eyes closed. They’d done emergency surgery on him, but the damage from the bullet was extensive.He was stable, for now. But the doctor wasn’t giving me any guarantees. The next twenty-four hours would be crucial.I could barely bring myself to think about it, but there was the very real possibility that Andrew wasn’t g
Too Late to Regret, The Substitute Wife Left Chapter 102: My Last Love
Julia’s POVMy heart dropped as Charlotte barged into the room. The look on her face made my blood turn cold. She knew that Andrew had lied to her about the code to the safe, and she was clearly on the brink of coming undone.Somehow, I’d managed to loosen the ropes on Andrew’s hands, but I wasn’t sure what good that would do. The men in black were trained criminals. Andrew couldn’t take them on. I wasn’t even sure Andrew knew how to throw a punch, much less attack two hardened criminals.Plus they had weapons and we didn’t. Knowing the cards were stacked against us, my heart hammered in my chest. What were we going to do? Where were the police? Were they close? It felt like we were in an impossible situation.We desperately needed the police to arrive. Andrew had done everything he could to stall Charlotte, but we were out of time. She’d figured it out and now she was furious. I could feel her fury radiating off her in waves.With wild eyes, Charlotte glanced at Andrew, the gun still
