29/ IS SHE DEAD?
I shut my eyes and sucked in the relief that washed over me. I stumbled out of the room and into the living room where the police had invaded. The men had been apprehended.
Moore and I locked eyes but I looked away immediately. I swallowed and felt my button lip quiver. That was so close. never; Never in my life had I imagined that something like that could happen to me. Lucia had a lot of explaining to do though, but I knew that Moore would not believe me if I just attacked her with my words, she wouldn't budge either, I needed to speak with Carlos first. He had been so nervous and I was sure that he knew something. I wrapped my arms around myself and allowed my breathing to return to normal. This entire trip had been a hectic adventure and I could not wait for it to end. "Are you okay?" I glanced in the direction of the voice and almost stumbled at the fact that Moore was practically in my face. I stood straight tRelated chapters
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 30/ CATCHING FEELINGS
I scrambled to my feet; Completely unbothered by the pain in my torso. I practically soaked in Lucia's blood, I knelt beside her, "Moore! Moore! Lucia's not moving!" I practically screeched and locked eyes with Moore who had been laying on the ground unmoving, I felt sharp jabs in my heart at the thought that he was in the same state as her. I crawled into him and wiped my tears away, the mascara I had hurriedly put on a few hours ago, sneered across my face before I could break out into another set of sobs, Moore's eyes opened and he let out a breath. Moore sat up and I felt relief wash over me. It took him a few moments I register his hearings but when he was finally settled; I felt his arms grab me and he looked over me frantically. "Are you alright, Amber?"Moore asked and I nodded slowly. Moore's face contorted into confusion, he tilted his head at me and I swallowed thickly, my hands went to my hair and I tugged on it slowly, The dark-haired man must have noticed my distress b
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 31/ THE TRUTH IS...
We stayed like that for a few moments before we got back in the car. Neither of us spoke a word to each other throughout the drive to the hospital. I didn't trust my voice not to crack and Moore was avoiding eye contact all through. Relief washed over me when the car pulled to a halt, the entire ride had been suffocating. I glanced up and realized that we had arrived at the hospital. I removed my seat belt and got out of the car; Following Moore's trail into the hospital, although I was a psychologist, I hated hospitals with every fiber of my being. Whenever I stepped into one, the image of my father being pulled out, lifeless, flashed over my eyes countless times. “Hello, My friend was brought in a few hours ago, Her name is Lucia Dawn, do you know how she is doing?” Moore asked sharply. I ran my hands through my hair and waited beside him. The nurse behind the desk frowned. I watched as she spared us a glance before she quietly replied. “I’ll confirm
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 32/ DON’T LEAVE ME
“I’m not leaving you.” I matched his surprised gaze and took a step forward. “I’m not going away when you need me the most.” I deadpanned. “What makes you think I need you?” Moore retorted. “Your eyes... The way they stare at me... The sadness, pain, and frustration in them, every single thing about you Moore...” I ran my hands through my hair and glanced around. “I-I’ve never felt like this before! But I know that I don’t want to leave you, I can’t leave you.” I confessed in one breath. “Really?” Moore broke out in a breathless chuckle. “And when these twenty-five days are up?” My head snapped up at that. “You’ll go. You’ll go far way and I will never see you again.” Moore grabbed me and I yelped. “So don’t stand here and tell me that you are going to stay when you are just a few days from leaving!” Moore snapped and pushed me. I stumbled but regained my bearings just in time.“Everyone leaves Amber. Dad. Mom. Louisa. Christine will get t
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 33/ OH, WHAT AN END IT WOULD BE
We pulled away from each other slowly. I could still taste the mint in my mouth when I glanced away from him and nervously tapped my feet against the ground. "So...um, what's next?" I asked without making eye contact, I heard a sigh and turned to look at Moore. "We've got to go home." He explained softly. "And Lucia?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I was surprised that he would leave her there, especially because of how upset he looked earlier. "She'll be fine." Moore offered and dusted his clothes, "Petunia will be here anytime soon," I nodded in response to his words even though I had no clue who petunia was, she was probably a relative of Lucia. "So, do you want to grab a coffee while I book the flight?" Moore asked softly. I blinked at his kindness and stumbled back in shock. A small chuckle brought me back to my senses. "Are you always this dramatic?" Moore asked with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and jogged back into the hospital.
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 34/ WHAT HAVE I DONE?
"Everything is going to be fine," Moore promised when I pulled away from the hug. I nodded and ran my hands through my hair, I took in his messy appearance, his normally styled dark fringe was in all the wrong places and his baby blue eyes lost the spark of intimidation they usually had. It wasn't just his appearance though; It was the way he spoke, the way he looked at me and reacted. It felt like this was a completely different Moore and the previous one was just an exterior. Moore grabbed my hand into his and squeezed it. I smiled and glanced away. "When did the doctor say we could leave? Since it was just a few bruises... I don't want to be stuck here while Christine is all alone—""Hey-Hey—" Moore stopped me mid-talking, He pulled a strand of my hair behind my ear and spoke; "Marissa is with Christine, she left Malawi a few days ago. So don't worry about that. Plus, we can't just leave, we don't have a van and I don't think I grabbed my wa
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 35/ I TOLD MOM
"Moore!" I called out and chased after him, the door slammed in my face before I could get into his room. I turned and slid down the door, I had not been expecting such a reaction from him. It may seem as though the Moore dynasty had a lot more secrets than they had led on earlier. "Moore I just want to talk... you need to help me, help you." I confessed softly and I sucked in a sharp breath. I brought my knees to my chest and ran my hands through my hair. I glanced around the hotel space. The shards of glass were glaring at me from their place on the ground. I let out a short sigh of defeat and stood up. I glanced at the door and made a mental note to come back when I was done picking up the glass shards. Slowly, I dragged my feet toward the mess on the ground. The image of Moore leaving the room flashed in my memory again. Dread filled me when I realized that I had pushed too far. I knew it was personal. I should not have pushed him so much, I would h
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 36/ WHAT ABOUT CHRISTINE?
Moore snorted and sat up. A sad smile spread across his thin lips and I could hear the sharp puffs of breath that escaped his lips. “You should have seen them…they were yelling. Arguing, Mom threatened to sue and dad threatened to take us away. That was the last time I saw my mom or Christine,” Moore explained softly and ran his fingers through his thick fringe. I held my breath at the silence that filled the room. The entire time, all Moore did was stare ahead. I was no fool, I could see and feel the pain in his eyes. Talking about trauma was difficult, especially if you spent your entire life convincing yourself that there was no need to fix that part of you. “I got shoved into a boarding school and Mom started working excessively. She wanted to get me out of there, take Christine and me out of the country — Fix things…” Moore paused and sucked in a sharp breath. I squeezed his free hand to offer some sort of comfort.I had no clue whether or not he understood the gesture because
I Married My Grumpy Patient! 37/ WHERE IS CHRISTINE
"What are you saying?" Moore's voice held uncertainty and disbelief. I licked my lips nervously and scarred my gaze. "You remember when I stopped you from breaking those glasses?" I asked, Moore, nodded quickly. "After you left, Andrew came." I could feel Moore's eyes on me. I turned and matched his gaze. "I always felt that something was so wrong with the way he looked at me and now it makes sense because—""Did he do anything to you?" Moore rushed out and I paused. "No," I confessed and sat up, Moore followed suit. "He didn't the chance because Christine stepped in, she defended me." I continued sharply. "But when we went to her room, she broke down, and...""And what?" Moore asked and I wrapped my hands around myself and sucked in a deep breath. "What happened?" Moore pressed on. "She told me that he had abused and raped her for so many years and she thought he was doing the same with Louisa." Moore stood up and punched the closest wall. I sprang up to my feet and tried to stop
