"Baby…I know I've been shitty, I know you're angry and darling you have every right to. I won't object, I admit I've been a whole mess and I failed you. But love, please, listen to me" Alex said to her, his voice full of love and empathy.
If this was any other person, the Alexander Garner, the bitchiest man alive would have just murdered them and listened to them later, but this was his woman.
His lifeline. The woman who made everything better.
The woman he would live with even when hell rained on them. He had not protected her as he had promised, but he had to tell it to her. Looking at the trio that was watching them, Alex figured it was time the nurse went home.
"you can go home…she's better now. And you can't tell that to the nursing officer and doctor Genevieve" Alex said coldly to the nurse who rushed outside almost forgetting her belongings. With the nurse gone, Alex held onto Lia's arm, gently yet firmly.
