“Hayden’s wife…?” Amelia said with clear shock on her face.
Yeah. I guess many things happened while she was asleep. It must have been a shock to her to wake up to find that Hayden had married me, and I was still standing in my wedding dress as if to prove that that was in fact true.
“Come…” Hayden whispered to as he led me by the hand towards Amelia.
Suddenly, I felt extremely shy. Her eyes widened as she stared up into my face.
“This is Malissa. We got married recently,” Hayden introduced me again.
“You look like a little princess…congratulations…both of you…” Amelia said after a while of staring at me in silence.
“I’m sorry about this but we need to transport her to the hospital now. The ambulance is here and ready for her,” the doctor said with an apologetic smile.
Oh, right. She just regained consciousness so she should go to the hospital. I turned to Harvey and saw him smiling at me.
“I’ll go with her. We’ll be ok…Thank you…” Harvey told us reassuringly.
“You owe me a huge ass one…” Hayden said with a smile.
I could somehow tell that he wasn’t just teasing his brother when he said that. After saying our temporary farewells to Amelia, Hayden led me out of the room.
“Wow…she really woke up…” I mumbled to myself, still finding it hard to believe it.
“Yes, she did. Seems like our luck hasn’t completely run out after all…” Hayden replied with a chuckle.
Hayden took my hand and carefully led me back to the car.
People say that there are moments that would change the course of your life forever. Back then, as I watched Harvey and Amelia embracing each other, I never imagined how much their reunion would change the direction of my life with Hayden.
…
The following day, Hayden and I decided to visit Amelia at the hospital. Harvey did not return back to the mansion last night which wasn’t a big surprise.
“Let’s get her a huge bouquet of flowers before we go up,” I suggested.
Amelia ended up hospitalized in the same hospital that my grandmother used to stay in. I knew that there was a flower shop in the hospital and felt like we couldn’t turn up empty handed to visit the angel who was resting upstairs. Hayden just nodded at my suggestion before I dragged him enthusiastically after me into the flower shop.
“Something big…colorful and eye-catching,” I told the florist with sparking eyes.
“Sure. I’ll have something for you soon. Please wait a moment,” the florist replied with a smile.
I stood next to Hayden with a dumb smile on my face as I watched the florist go about her job of preparing a bouquet for Amelia. Although I did not know Amelia personally, I was over the moon happy that she had regain consciousness. The fact that both Hayden and Harvey were happy, made me feel extremely joyous about this occasion too.
“You seem too happy,” Hayden muttered next to me before he ruffled my hair.
