The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 72

"I miss you, Mommy," my sweet daughter murmured as she lay down by my side. She had been sitting like that for a while. When Harper tried to take her, she refused. She wasn't causing me any discomfort anyway. She was small against me and wasn't

hurting my wounds.

"I miss you too, cupcake." I kissed her head. Originally, I didn't want Julian to bring her because I worried that she might get scared of seeing me in the hospital bed with needles in my arm and bandages around my body. However, when Julian called and told me how she w she might not see me again, thinking that I went to the same place I told her her father was at for four years, my heart cracked. I couldn't do that to her again.

"You're coming back home, right?" she asked, staring up at me with her beautiful big blue eyes. I hated the fear and uncertainty I saw in them.

"I promise I'm coming back," I assured her, rubbing her arm. "Have I ever broken a promise I made to you?" She slowly shook her head. "Just give Mommy a couple of days to get better. I will be back home before you know it." A small smile appeared on her lips as she noc "Honey, it's time to go." Harper told Rosie.

"Can I just stay for five more minutes?" she requested.

"Yes, cupcake," Julian answered on behalf of his sister. We could all notice how anxious she was, which was out of character when it came to her, so if five more minutes were going to help her calm down, we didn't mind granting her that.

"I love you, Mommy," she whispered, pushing herself up to kiss my check.

"And I adore you," I said, wrapping one arm around her. She stayed in my embrace for a little while and thankfully, she left with Harper without crying.

I watched as Julian went to speak to one of the guards outside my room and when he came back, he took a seat beside me and reached for my hand.

"Are you feeling alright?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"Julian, the couch doesn't look comfortable at all. Maybe you should go home. I'll be fine on my own," I said, but he shook his head.

"Not leaving you. You're stuck with me." He stuck his tongue out at me, making me laugh a little.

"Don't complain then if you wake up with back pain." I shrugged.
