You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 136

“Mom?”

“Mom! Don’t leave me!”

“Don’t leave me. Mom.”

She could hear Adam’s crying in the dark.

"I will never leave you, my son." She uttered crying.

Arabella woke up from her dream with the noisy ringtone of her phone. Opening her eyes slowly, a strange room greeted her. The first thing, she saw was her leg hanging in front of her with a brace. Then she moved her numb hand to her neck slowly which made her realize that she was wearing a neck brace too. She could feel numbness in her entire body which made her suddenly remember everything that happened.

Looking at the road, flashbacks of her tragic past drastically came in. She saw herself holding her father’s hand trying her best to save him with her remaining strength. She saw her mother’s crying and suffering when she lost her husband. Her memory brought her back to the pain she felt when she became the center of fun in the club that she almost lost Adam. Her memory of being humiliated at the Sky Corporation Anniversary party. Cursed and blamed by everyone because of the death of Ed Sky.

All her miseries, Bill was there.

The only person who put her in an agonizing situation.

She didn’t want to go back to that dark time again.

She didn’t want to feel any pain caused by him anymore.

She rather dies escaping from hell than be with the devil.

Driven by an intense fear of pain in the past, she jumped off the car without thinking it too much. There’s only one thing in her mind, run!

Ran away as far as she can.

“Don’t touch me…” With a weak staggering voice, she pleaded. She could feel pain all over her body as her tears flowed down.

“Shit! Fucking stubborn!” She could hear Bill’s curse when he lifted her in the air before she lost her consciousness.

As she tried to recall everything, reality struck her.

She was sure that she was in a hospital. With a heavy cemented arm, she reached her cell phone to see the caller.

Adam.

Her eyes went wider to see his name then she felt the extreme guilt of what she did.

‘I’m sorry Adam.’ She whispered in her heart as her tears started to drip down again.

She almost killed herself there.

How could she forget Adam?

How could she leave her son just like that?

How could she forget her mother who needs her?

Before being caught in her messy thoughts, she answered her phone stiffly.

“Mommy? Finally, you answered. I almost call the police.” Adam sounded worried.

Now because of her stupidity, she had to lie to her son.

“I’m sorry Adam. Is Uncle Damien still with you?” She really hoped so as her mess brought her to a very big dilemma.

“Yes, mom. Uncle Damien is here waiting for you.” Adam announced.

“Okay. May I talk to him, honey?” She tried her best to sound okay. She could not make her son worried for her.

“Sure, mom,” Adam replied.

“Where are you?” Damien’s voice was stern.

“I am in the hospital.” She didn’t lie but she knew Damien would think that she was attending to her mom. “Damien, I have to bother you with some favor if you don’t mind.” She added with gritted teeth. After what she did to Damien, she knew she had no right to ask him a personal favor but she had no choice.

“What is it?” Damien asked.

“Please be with Adam. I may stay in the hospital for quite a while.” Intense guilt was poking her heart but she could not tell them the truth as she knew Adam would make his way to look for her.

“Okay. Do not worry. I will take care of Adam. Just take care of your mom.” Damien said with a reassuring tone.

“Thank you. I owe you once again.” She said with a wave of guilt in her heart. She wiped her tears silently to avoid being detected by them.

The call ended with a single relief that someone would take care of Adam on behalf of her absence. She could only rely on Damien as she didn’t want to disturb Farrah's honeymoon.

After the call, the door opened. She panicked as she thought it’s Bill but when she saw a man with a white lab gown, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Sky. I’m Dr. Henry Stone, your physician.” A middle-aged doctor greeted her with an accomplished smile. “How do you feel?” Then he asked.

“I am sorry. I am not Mrs. Sky. I am Ms. Jones.” She argued in disbelief at his words.

“Oh!... My apology but your information is written here clearly signed by your husband, Mr. Bill Sky.” The doctor gave out the patient information sheet to her.

“Ah!!!!” Arabella could not help her annoyance as she screamed. She had to lie to her son and Damien because of her impulsive decision to escape from him. Now, she could not move. She could not run away.

“Is there pain? Where is it?” The doctor panicked. He could not offend the wife of the owner of the hospital most especially, Bill Sky.

“No.” Arabella calmed herself down.

“Then why did you shout?” He put anesthesia on her so she should not be in pain but hearing her made him question his action.

“Nothing. I’m okay. I’m sorry to make you worried.” Arabella looked at the doctor with sincerity.

“May I know, when I can walk and get out from here?” She asked with all her curiosity. She couldn’t wait to get out of the bed and run away.

“3 months but your husband gave us 1 week to make you recover, Mrs. Sk…Ah...Ms. Jones.” The doctor answered wiping his forehead with a handkerchief. He was obviously uneasy with the order.
