Jerry did not leave her side for a seconds for the past three days. He left Matt in charge to oversee things on his behalf, even the investors patiently wait which baffle everyone including Jerry himself.
" Jeremiah, you need to rest yourself. You cannot keep going like this hence you collapse. " said Mrs Tim. " Am OK mum, I don't want her out of my sight again. I can't take it if anything should happen to her mum.".
He said with a small sob escaping from his mouth. Mrs Tim felt her heart squeeze in pain looking at her son like this. She knows he was extremely guilty for what happened but still he can not continue this way.
" I understand my boy but please you have to take care of yourself too. What do you want her to feel when she wakes up to see you like this? I know she won't want her man to look horrible. "
. ". I want to stay here till.....". " I think I have to file for divorce then since you look this horrible then!". The two of them turn abruptly to look at where the voice is coming from. Their eyes widen looking at the awake Susan, she look pale and tired. She give them a small small and wink at Jerry who was happy and shocked to see his wife awake. He rushed to her side when he get over the shock , he hugged her on the bed .
" Hey boy! you are hurting me. " Susan said weakly. " Am sorry! I am too happy. You are finally awake? Am sorry for not protecting you enough. Am sorry for being a weak partner. Am sorry please forgive me. I will do anything to make it up to you. Am sorry babe , am sorry."
Susan lifted her hand up, she wince in pain and gently placed it in his cheek. She used her thumb to clean the tears in his eyes . " It was not your fault Jerry, and you don't have to feel guilty about it. They are the ones that planned this and they have to suffer for there mistakes not you. More so, its was my fault too I should have bring guards with me."
" It wasn't your fault dear, its mine just forgive me OK!"
Mrs Tim listen to her and she can not help it but to admire this daughter in-law of hers the more for her understanding and maturity. " You heard what she said now didn't you. I told you she will not blame...."
" Thank you mother, thank you for telling him that. " she said in a weak voice.
Jerry smile at her for forgiven him and hold her hand that is on his cheek. Mrs Tim moved closer to them and sat on her bed checking her." I think we should call the doctors! "
" Oh! I forget about that. " He press the bell , soon a doctor and two nurses came in. After checking up on her she was certified OK but she still need to but still need to be observed. Jerry nod his head in understanding, he knows without been told also.
" An hungry and thirsty." Susan said after some minutes of silent.
Jerry want to feed her but she refuse and urge her to go home and rest too after taken care of her for three days now. She only agree her mother in law to feed her which the latter agreed to gladly.
After staying at the hospital for few more days Susan asked to be discharged, Jerry and his mother kicked against it insist she stay more for observation but after more persuasion she was given a proper check up.
" Her wounds are healing pretty well, since she want to be discharge I think we can do that but their are things she must not do for now to help her healing. " After given series of instruction to her like she must not shout and overwork because if her head injury, she must not talk to much but continue to practice her breathing exercise to help her lungs sue was finally discharged.
" Hey I can walk on my own you know? ". " No you are sitting on this till your injuries are heal."
" Susan seat on it , you cannot stress yourself have you forgotten what the doctor said just now? ' Don't overstress' " Having no other choice she sat on it and Jerry pushed her to the elevator with his mother behind while two of their bodyguards carrying their bag .
After getting home, she was taken to the bedroom to rest on getting inside she was surprised to see her load carefully placed inside the closet with her skin care product arranged in the vanity table. She look up to met Jerry's eyes, he just smile back at her without saying anything.
" What are my loads doing here?"
" Where?" he asked innocently which made Susan to glare at him.
" Easy babe! why are you given me that ? I don't understand what you are talking about babe."
" Really Jeremiah? OK I will make you understand what are my loads doing in your room?"
" Oh that, I just moved them here since you refuse to move with me and now I cannot allow you to stay alone, I will not be able to forgive myself if anything should happen to you again. I cannot imaging life without you Susan , don't be mad OK ? I know I suppose to seek you permission but I don't want you to reject me again. Am sorry."
" Thank you so much Jerry. " Jerry was stunned to hear that reply from her, he expect her to scream and scold him but not this. " What did you say?" He asked in disbelieve.
" Thank you so much for loving me Jerry, am grateful to have you as my partner." He grin from ear to ear hearing that from her. He was relief in his heart she did not throw tantrum or scold him.
Jerry moved closer to her to hug her but what she did make him totally speechless. She hold onto his head and kissed him on his lips . He was frozen on his position not believing Susan will take the initiative to kiss him by the time he came to his senses she has withdrawn herself from him.
" Did I go overboard?" She asked when she noticed he did not respond to her kisses.
" Am sorry , I was just surprised you initiate this. I love you baby now sleep ." She gently closed her eyes like an obedient child. Jerry placed a kiss on her fore head and exit the room with his face full of smile.
