THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

Upon seeing Edward fall to the ground, Sophia, who was sitting on the bed holding her newborn baby in her arms, gently placed him inside his crib and dashed in the direction of where Edward was groaning in pain.

“Edward, are you okay? What’s the problem?” Sophia asked with a worried and frightened voice, upon seeing how Edward’s hand was clenched to his chest.

“My heart …… it hurts” Edward managed to respond, amid his pain. The pain intensified, making him yell the more. Seeing that he was in so much pain, Sophia dashed out, in search of the medical team.

Edward was quickly attended to and he was given a pain reliever, which eased him of his pain. The doctor ran a check on him, but nothing unusual was found.

“Doctor, what is wrong with my husband?” anxious Sophia asked, upon seeing the confused expression on the doctor’s face, as he examined Edward and ran through the test result he was holding.

“Mrs. Lion, according to the result of the test we carried out on him, we found nothing wrong with his heart. His heart is in perfect condition, which makes me wonder as to what could have caused the pain he felt some minutes ago” the doctor said, still looking confused.

“Nothing unusual? So, what can you conclude to be the cause?” Sophia asked, with her heart beating as fast as it could and anxiety written all over her face.

“I can’t say what the problem is precisely for now but I can just say it might be the aftermath of the accident he was involved in some months ago. We will still run some other tests on him to ascertain the problem” the doctor said, facing Sophia.

“What are you saying right now? You can’t say what the problem is? Are you saying you are incompetent? If anything should happen to my husband due to you lack of knowledge, I am going to hold you responsible for that” Sophia, who had become frustrated and was worried something might happen to Edward said, yelling at the doctor and giving him a stern warning. All these while, Edward’s gaze was fixed Sophia’s face and he could see how worried she was for him. He realized how madly in love Sophia was with him and how she cared about him. This made his heart melt and made him ascertain the fact that, Sophia was truly the woman he was in love with before he had the accident.

“Babe, calm down. I am fine now. You do not have to get yourself all worked up. Nothing will happen to me and I will make sure to stay strong for our boy. You are not yet fit to go through all these stress, since you just put to bed. Relax your mind and be rest assured that I will be fine” Edward, who was sitting on the hospital bed and had noticed how worried Sophia was becoming said, trying to keep her calm.

“I am just scared, baby. I can’t live without your presence in my life. You barely escaped death few months ago and now this?” Sophia said, with fear and anxiousness written all over her face.

“Trust me babe, nothing will happen to me. I know you are worried and scared, but be rest assured that I will be fine. I will be fine for you and our son. I promise. Come here” Edward said, motioning for Sophia to move closer to him. Upon moving closer to him, he drew her in for a hug and they both remained in that position of embrace for some minutes and they only separated when the doctor coughed, bringing their attention to the fact that, the doctor was still present in the room.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“If you do not mind, Mr. Lion, I would love to take my leave now. Do rest well and I will be coming to check up on you in few hours time. Take care, sir” the doctor said, bidding them farewell as he exited the room.

Upon him exiting the room, Edward looked at Sophia and smiled at her in a lovingly way.

“What’s the smile for?” Sophia asked, raising her eyebrow, as she wondered why Edward had smiled so lovingly at her.

“I am just grateful towards you for birthing my offspring and for standing by me, even when I have forgotten most of the special moments we have spent together. I know it hurts you that I do not remember our moments together, which is why I am promising you that I will try my best possible, to recover my lost memories as soon as possible” Edward, who was now holding Sophia’s hands said, with love and compassion evident in his eyes.

“No, you can’t !!!!!!” Sophia abruptly said, yanking her hands away from Edward’s hold.

“You do not want me to regain my memory?” Edward asked, as that action of hers took Edward aback, and made him wonder why she wouldn’t want him to regain his memory. He was confused and became suspicious. Seeing the suspicious and doubtful look on Edward’s face, Sophia knew she had to say something to convince him.

“I do not mean it that way. I just do not want you to get hurt. The doctor told us that you might get hurt if you forcefully try to recover your memory. He said we should let your lost memories come back on their own accord as that’s the only way to safeguard your health. You do not have put your health and life in danger for my sake. I will wait until your memories come back on their own accord. The past isn’t important anyways. Let’s focus on the present and create wonderful memories with our son. That’s all I want, baby” Sophia, who was now holding Edward’s hands said, trying as hard as she could to convince him and get rid of his doubt.

“It’s fine. I never knew you care so much about me. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. I never knew we will be so much in love despite the fact that, we were not in love when we first got married. Like you said, the past isn’t important. What is important is the present. So, let’s work towards creating a wonderful family and special memories together. I love you” Edward said, looking straight into Sophia’s eyes while at the same time, smiling at her.

“I love you too” Sophia said smiling, while leaning in for a kiss. In no time, their lips met, with them kissing passionately, looking forward to a beautiful future together as a family. As they kissed passionately, Ellie’s body was being wrapped, ready to be placed in the morgue.
