The One He Never Put First.

"I'm sorry. About everything. I'm sorry I never appreciated the love that you gave me and I brought up problems. I'm sorry I was a horrible wife to you. And I'm sorry that I don't have any family so you're going to have to deal with the inconvenience that is burying me."Aaron frantically made his way past the many people in the casualty department of the busy public hospital."My wife. Where is my wife?"He'd shouted as soon as he reached the reception desk but it came out as a whisper.He'd made it to the hospital as soon as he'd heard, unfortunately that wasn't soon enough.He couldn't wait to see her, his baby girl. He needed to be next to her and make sure she was ok. He needed her to be ok otherwise he wouldn't be. He'd be broken. His wife was his life.But he'd felt his patience running thin when,"Sir. Please have a seat, someone will come and assist you soon."The busy lady in reception had said to him as she'd continued navigating the switchboard.Although Aaron understood t

A whole week later Aaron had decided to only then leave the hospital to go back home to freshen up. He'd been by his wife's side, holding onto her hand and praying for her recovery since he'd been there. He didn't even decide to leave himself - if it was up to him he would've stayed, but he was practically forced to.After having her moved from a public to a private hospital - partly because he was starting to get recognized, he had much more freedom to visit her and stay with her as much as he could. But even private hospitals had their limits and they'd finally asked him to go home, mostly because they wanted him to recharge as he wasn't at all looking well.Aaron simply couldn't leave his wife's side, what if she'd woken up and asked for him and he wasn't there? He would never forgive himself.He'd used to avoid being at home as much as he could, that was because of the fights. But even when they weren't fighting he knew she'd thought of it, he could always see it in her eyes. She

"Where is she?! Where's my daughter?!"Aaron could hear the loud noises that made it to the hospital room he was in with his wife, seemingly coming from the main reception. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself, a storm was looming.He'd contemplated breaking the news to them, mostly because they'd very clearly stated that they wanted nothing to do with the girl. They'd disowned her and hadn't seen nor spoken to her since they'd gotten married. But Aaron was never one to stop believing in family, no matter what. It was the most important thing to him, after his wife of course - though he knew he didn't always show that. So he'd eventually reached out. The girl had been in hospital for a few weeks and he'd finally thought to let her family know. Whether they'd then decided to come and see her or not - it would've been up to them. As long as he'd done his part of letting them know.He was going to get one of his secretaries to get in contact with the family on his behalf, but he'd

"Mr. Miller, I was told to bring this to you."The young lady said as she approached the older man cautiously. He'd thrown a fit a few times at the hospital and she didn't want to become one of his victims for the day."Thank you so much Uhm... " He'd waited for her to tell him her name."Susan.""Thank you Susan."He'd said with a smile as he took the tray of food from her hands. He wasn't hungry but he didn't want to be rude to the poor girl, not anymore at least. He'd admittedly been a bit difficult on more than a few occasions but that was only because of the well-being of his wife. Everything needed to be done right, otherwise he would lose it. He would lose his cool.He'd then decided to stop after realizing what he had become, Kayla wouldn't like that very much he'd thought.Aaron could see the terror in the young girl's eyes as she nodded her head and turned around to leave."Susan..."He was turning a new leaf.It had been over 5 months since his wife had been in the coma. He

Aaron hastily checked his watch as he hurried onto the elevator to go to his office. He had to be back at the hospital.He'd hated not being there when she woke up but he needed to sort a few things out at the office. He was going to make his way there soon after.But what he hadn't been expecting was a full office that morning. It was too early he'd thought.Aaron owned the whole building but only a few people were permitted on his office level, the highest level. And that list didn't have more than 5 people on it.So his shock was justified when he'd walked in and saw more than a few people seemingly in police uniform talking to his secretary.So the worst possible conclusions made it to his mind, naturally. It better not be about his wife, it can't have been. He was with her just a few hours before, she was ok. Could it be about his kids? Was there fraud in his company he didn't know about?"Morning Officers."He'd settled with just finding out from them, to not drive himself crazy
