“No matter what, we will always be together and not repeat the mistakes from before.” I said after finally leaving his lips as I kept my head against his shoulders. I could feel something wet falling on my shoulders that made me realize that Lewis was crying. So I stayed like that, wanting to give him a chance to calm down.
After hearing my words, he caressed my back and kissed my hair softly. “Okay. It’s a promise.”
After that, I took care of him for three days. No matter what he needed, I would jump on my feet and get it for him. I could faintly see the color of his face returning to normal from pale. When I was dating Vampire, I had never seen Lewis lively before. And now, my husband’s eyes would sparkle every time they would turn to me.
These changes made my heartbeat faster than ever as a trace of blush would appear on my cheeks everytime he would glance at me.
When he was discharged, I took him to the cab and brought him home. At this time, even though the doctors had still given him crutches, they said that he would need a few days to fully recover. After hearing those words I was both confused and shocked. Hadn’t they said that his legs were broken?
Then they just replied that Lewis’s legs were healed after an operation, and since the medical science had improved, it was possible now to heal the legs completely in three to four days.
Even though this required a lot of money, I didn’t care about it. I had gotten enough for spending the rest of my life with ease. So I took out the money and casually gave it to the doctor without telling my husband about it.
Now after taking the cab, Lewis turned to me with a frown on his face. “Did you pay the bill?”
I glanced at him and suddenly remembered how my husband would lie to me so that I couldn’t feel bad about anything. Should I give him a taste of his own medicine? I pressed my lips in a thin line to hide my smile and said, “It wasn’t too much. I could afford it.”
Lewis’s brows furrowed deeper as if he was contemplating something. So I thought I should distract his attention to stop him from thinking about such things. I raised my head and kissed his lips again before smiling. “Don’t frown. Your face turns ugly.”
And my trick was successful. After that, a smile formed on Lewis’s face, and he acted as if he had forgotten about the hospital bill.
This made my heart flutter. I told myself that my husband was one of the most beautiful men that I had ever seen. But that very thing made me feel ashamed. His smile had disappeared thanks to my efforts of moving away from Lewis. It resulted in both of us facing a life filled with struggles and dissatisfaction.
“I am sorry for being cruel to you.” These words left my lips all of a sudden before I could even think. I pursed my lips at this time. Why did I have to open this topic again? I had already caused enough trouble for my husband, and I didn’t want to do that anymore.
But to my surprise, Lewis smiled and said, “It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean it. It was also my fault. Let’s not repeat our mistakes, okay?”
I nodded as I felt a little relieved.
After going home, I instantly pushed my husband inside the bathroom so that he could wash off the scent of hospital and took his phone. I knew that my husband was already in debt, and I had earned enough to live without worrying about the future. So I opened the number of the bank and called them to ask how much money they needed.
After confirming that I had enough, I paid all the money through an online transaction, finally relieving my husband from such a heavy debt. Now, I knew that Lewis wouldn’t find it difficult to get a job.
When I saw that my husband was still showering, I went to the kitchen to prepare food and surprise my husband. I still remembered how he had meticulously prepared food for me back then, and I had taken it for granted. Not only did I reject him, but I also treated him as if he didn’t exist for me. I couldn’t help but pause my work and frown.
Just why in the world did I turn so bad? It almost seemed as if I had been controlled by a demon.
I shook off those negative thoughts from my mind. It was no use thinking about it now when everything was over. I knew for sure that I would never contact a Vampire in my life.
I remembered that I still hadn’t blocked his contact information. So I took my phone while working in the kitchen and blocked the Vampire. After that, I threw my phone aside and started working.
Now, let’s see. What else could I do to make my husband’s mood better? I pursed my lips when I realized that I didn’t know how to cook special dishes. I only ever cooked normal ones that were easy to make such as mixed rice.
Whenever time came for the special dishes, Lewis would always offer to cook them, just like the last time when he had made those dishes for me, but I had refused him ruthlessly.
I closed my eyes and silently scolded myself. Could I not think about that devastating memory now?
After taking a deep breath, I decided to leave out dishes for a while and do something else. Since this was the day when I was trying to make up for all the wrong doings I had done, I would certainly go all out. So I quickly called someone and asked them to bring me a bunch of flowers and decorative items. I knew that Lewis would take too much time inside the bathroom since he had his crutches. Even though the doctor had said that after the operation, his legs were fine, he still advised to use crutches while walking and even bathing. But it wasn’t necessary.
So I took good use of that time to decorate the entire dining and living rooms as fast as I could. By the time my husband got out, I was already standing in front of the bathroom with my phone. His eyes roamed in the living and dining rooms as his eyes widened in surprise. Just then, I took a snap of his wonderful expressions and chuckled.
“That’s the expression I wanted to record,” I said cheerfully. “Look!”
A smile broke out on his face. He directly took the phone while keeping it away and brought me in his arms. I let out a surprised squeal, but he didn’t say anything and before I could open my mouth to say something, he kissed me.
I chuckled against his lips before my hands went on his neck, pulling him closer.
This day was the start of my new life after so many months of struggle. We had been facing money problems that caused discord between us, but now, everything was alright. I seemed to be flying in the heavens right now as I continued to kiss my husband. It even seemed as if my feelings for Lewis had returned back to me, especially after the accident.
