I tried to free my hand out of his only to make his grip on my hand tighten more. He kept on sleeping, but I had to free my hand. I wanted to use bathroom. Once again I tried to free my hand only to wake him up.
"You alright Liv?" he asked sleepily.
"Leave me" I said bluntly, I was done being good and polite.
Now he was completely out of his sleep.
"No"
"Alex leave me, I need to use the restroom."
"There's no need to leave hand if you want to go to the restroom"
"Alex no one's watching, you don't need to pretend."
"I know, and I'm not pretending."
He helped me get up, which I tried to push away but failed.
"Leave me I'm alright"
"No"
"Leav...ahhh" Just as I step foot on the floor, I felt my wounds burn and sting.
"Are you oka..Dammit, I told you I'll help!!"
He picked me up and then paced me on the toilet seat and stood there.
"Go let me stay alone here at least."
I'm not going anywhere. And you pee if you want. I. WILL.NOT. GO."
At last my bladder gave in. To embarrassed to look at Alex, I lowered my head and said, "Alex please at least close the door now, I want to pull up my pajama.
"No, I'm staying right here and By the way, It's me who'll have to get those jammies up"
"No you'll not"
"Oh yes I'll have to, and I don't have any interest in watching you're filthy pussy."
My heart felt a suddent sting. One moment he was all worried and polite and just the other second he was all blunt and cool. I gave in.
"O..ok but close your eyes"
"That I was obviously gonna do, I don't see any other women's pussy."
He closed his eyes as he stepped close, I closed mine too. I felt his hot skin on my skin before the soft cotton pajamas replaced the feel. He then picked me up again and placed me on the bed.
"When can I get out of this hospital?"
"Not till 3 days"
"Oh...You can go home now, I'll be alright...I'm sure Anna wouldn't like it"
"I'm not going anywhere, and Anna doesn't have any problems with it.
Just the the doctor slid in.
"We know Mr and Mrs. James that we just had that wound covered up, but the wound is very serious and the cotton placed in would be dripping with blood by now, so to stop any infections, we're here to dress the wound again"
"Sure doctor" Alex said.
The doctor sat by my bed, the wounds still hurts so much I feel like cutting the leg off and throwing it away. And this dressing was gonna hurt too much, too much for me to bear. Just then Alex came by my other side and sat sown, his hand gripping mine again and his other hand stroking my head.
"You'll be alright, love"
Ugh was pretending even at times like this, when I needed actual love and warmth.
The doctor peeled off the cloth bandage that covered my wound, just as the bandage was about to be off, Alex place his empty hand on my eyes.
He came close to my ears and said, "You're not ready to see the wound yet. They're serious...it may be too much for you to see" His voice carried warmth and worries, and I knew this time he wasn't pretending.
After a few minutes of crying, screaming and squeezing Alex's hand, at last the dressing was done.
"Mr. James, these injuries may leave scars for a long time, I'm not saying for lifetime but they will stay for a long time."
"No worries Dr. Woods, I love my wife and whatever she has. The scars now are a part of my wife so I love them too."
"You're very lucky to have a husband like Mr. Alex" he said to me.
"I know. He's very caring and loving person, I wouldn't have found even if I went to god himself."
The truth is exactly opposite.
The doctor smiled told me to take care, and that I could go home today and the doctor would come home himself for the dressing.
"Thankyou" Alex said
"Huh?" I asked because I was caught off gaurd.
"Thank you, for pretending."
"....."
"Give me a minute I have to make a phone call and then we can go home"
I knew he was calling Anna.
He came back a minute later, and picked me up and placed me on a brand new wheelchair, he just brought.
The he took me to the car and placed me gently on the seat and took the wheelchair back into the hospital. We were silent on the way back home, and the pain in my head and legs sent me to sleep.
"Liv, wake up"
"Wake up!"
I opened my eyes slowly, but I couldn't keep them opened. He scooped me from my seat took me in the house and placed me on the char, then he threw some drops of water gently on my eyes, so I could open them. As soon as I opened my eyes,
"Eat"
"What??!"
"I said eat."
Saying this he went up to his room leaving me. I saw porridge ready for me on the table.
"Oh thank you Mr. Kim, for preparing the porridge."
"Oh madam, thank Sir if you want, he called me to make the porridge with all the nutrients need to heal your wounds. He sounded worried."
My heart suddenly started to beat rapidly.
