Crossroads

Chapter 116

“She’s my wife.”

The slightest movement on the hospital bed, followed by a hoarse, weak voice, silenced the room.

“Dominick!” The woman closest to the bed reacted first, leaning in with excitement and joy. “Dominick, you’re awake.”

“Go get George and the doctor, now!”

The bodyguards outside the door were also shocked and hurried to get them.

Stephanie stood at the foot of the bed, dazed.

She looked at the man lying in the hospital bed. He had just woken up, looking pale and bleary–eyed. Yet, he managed to lift his head slightly, his gaze locking onto hers.

He didn’t speak again, but Stephanie felt a faint tremor in her chest. His gaze… It wasn’t as cold and hard as before. There was something different, something softer, weaker.

“You are…Stephanie?” the woman standing by the bed asked with a somewhat awkward expression.

She stared directly at Stephanie, a complex mix of emotions in her voice as she repeated, “You’re Dominick’s wife?”

She had heard that Dominick had legally married someone back home, though there hadn’t been a wedding.

Stephanie felt somewhat awkward under the woman’s scrutiny.

“Come here,” Dominick in the hospital bed suddenly called out softly.

Stephanie looked at his pale face. She frowned and quickly walked over, moving to the other side of the bed. “Dominick, do you have at headache?”

He ignored the question, instead asking, “Are you hurt?” His body instinctively tried to turn to the left.

“Dominick, you can’t move your body.” The woman on the right side anxiously tried to hold him down.

Stephanie moved faster, quickly bending down to press his shoulder. “Stay put, Dominick.” She sounded a bit awkward.
