His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 381 - Sleep For A Long While



Earlier that day…

"Look at me! … Michael… please don't do this! Can you hear me!! What do I do? What do I do? Oh my God!! Oh my God!! "

Diana wailed as she held his hand as he was rolled into the emergency ward in a stretcher. She was soaked in his blood as she had hugged him till the ambulance came.

As they got to the emergency ward, the nurses stopped her from going forward.

Diana's hands covered her mouth as her legs got weak and she fell to her knees, crying profusely.

The events that happened earlier replaying in her mind.

He had taken the bullet for her…

That person wanted to shoot her but he took it…

Why? Why did he risk his life!! Why did he do such a thing!

Diana's heart broke in pieces as she wailed. He had bled a lot, what if something happened to him? She wouldn't be able to live with herself if something happens to him?

She should have been the one. He should have let her been shot. Why would he have her live in guilt? Why?

Diana wiped her eyes as she tried to think, who would have wanted her dead?

She could not remember anything she did so wrong that would warrant someone killing her.

Was it Jade?

Did she want her gone so much?

Diana couldn't tell how long she sat there crying, she only raised her head when she heard the door open and Michael was wheeled out.

Standing to her feet, she rushed to him, but was stopped by the doctor.

"Is he okay? Is he going to be fine?"

She asked, her voice almost gone from too much crying.

"Thankfully, the bullet didn't damage anything major, we've taken it out but he has not woken up yet, because he lost a lot of blood before the ambulance could come. He'll be taken to his ward now and there you can see him."

Diana nodded, heaving a sigh of relief. She followed after them and closed the ward after they left.

Turning to him on the bed, her eyes watered again.

She bit her lower lip as she sat beside him and took his hand.

"Wake up okay? We'll get married immediately. Just wake up, we're not going to wait till next year anymore, we'll get married now. Please… just wake up. I beg you."

She cried as she kissed his hand, staring at him as he lay calmly on the bed.

These few episodes has made her realize that she didn't have all the time in the world. One minute she could be the happiest woman alive and the next she could be torn apart with agony.

She would cherish every moment with him, every second of his smile, hug, laughter …

Her voice broke as her head fell on the bed, tears soaking the sheets.

Just wake up okay… please…

Nicklaus leaned on his car as he blew smoke into the air. His eyes staring at a distance. A few butts were on the ground. He couldn't count how many he had taken, and he didn't stop until the pack was done.

He blinked, brushing his hair with his hand.

Only what he wanted for her was happiness, but it seems being around him only caused her hurt.

She was in pain, lying on a bed because of him.

Nicklaus sighed.

What would he do?

He didn't know how long he stood there, staring at the starry sky, he only realized he's been out all night when he saw the sun rising from the east end.

Standing up to his feet, he lost balance but caught himself before he fell.

Stabling himself, he got into the car and drive back to the hospital.

The guards were in front of her door and they opened the door when they saw him.

Nicklaus walked into the room and stopped by the door.

She was lying peacefully on the bed. Her head was wrapped with a bandage. Nicklaus sat beside her, a sad sigh leaving his lips.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered, his fingers caressing her face.

"I'm so sorry."

The door creaked open, snapping him away from his thoughts.

His eyes turned to it and he saw Gwen.

"How is she?"

He nodded lightly, too down to even speak.

Gwen watched him for a moment and came to sit beside him, her eyes looking at Tiana for a moment,

"the doctors said she's in coma, they aren't sure when she's going to wake up."

He finally spoke.

Gwen sighed, "I wish I didn't ask her to come, I wish I waited for her, all these wouldn't have…"

Her voice broke as tears fell from her eyes.

Nicklaus did not speak, he had his own troubles to think about.

After a long while, she cleared her throat,

"I brought some food, you didn't come back home yesterday…"

Gwen placed the food on the table.

Nicklaus glanced at her and nodded,

"thank you, but I have somewhere to be now."

He said and stood up,

"when you want to leave send someone over, I won't be back till night."

He said and walked out without waiting for her reply.

Gwen watched him leave and then turned to Tiana on the bed.

There was a ventilator on her mouth, helping her breath. Gwen's eyes fell on it and for a second she had bad thoughts.

Just taking that away would end all these. Her fingers itched but she looked away.

All she needed to do was make him fall for her and get pregnant before she wakes up.

Going closer to her she leaned and whispered,

"sleep for a long while okay? I promise to be good to you when I am with him"

She smiled and walked to the food she got for Nicklaus and began to eat. 

Why didn't he want to eat? It wasn't as if she was dead. Did he want to starve himself? 

She scoffed and took another bite. 

She was going all in with him now, she didn't have much time before Tiana wakes. 

If she wanted him, she must have him now.
