An Affair With My Ex
Chapter 85

Abby's

POV.

As my eyes slowly opened, the first thing I saw was a bright white light shining above me.

I looked around and noticed a white fan spinning above my head, creating a comfortable atmosphere.

Confused, I tried to remember what had happened to me and where I was. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain at my back, which made me wonder what had caused it.

As I was about to use my hand to massage the pain, I noticed that I wasn't alone in the room.

I turned my head slowly to the right and saw Alex's head resting on my bed. To my surprise, he was holding my hand in a sweet and comforting manner. I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I realised that I was in good company.

I wanted to ask Alex where we were and what had happened to me, but I didn't want to startle him. Instead, I lay there quietly, feeling grateful for his presence and the warmth of his hand. I knew that I was safe with him and that everything would be alright.

As I lay there with Alex sleeping in my arms, memories of my last moments on Earth flooded my mind. I vividly remembered the moment when I had risked my life to save him from being shot by Jack. I knew it was a one-time chance that could have cost me my life, but I couldn't bear to let anything happen to him.

As I looked down at him, sleeping peacefully, I felt grateful that I had succeeded in saving him from the pain and danger that would have followed if I had failed. I whispered to myself, "Thank goodness I didn't let you go through such pain." I wanted to reach out and touch his hair, to let him know that I was still there and that he was safe. But before I could do that, I felt his breath hit my hand. I froze, unsure of what to do next.

Then, I watched as he shook his head and slowly raised his face to me. I could see that he was awake now, and I felt relieved that he was okay. It was a moment of pure joy and gratitude to see him alive and breathing, right there in my arms. As I watched Alex slowly wake up, his eyes still squinted, I wondered if he was even aware that I was already awake.

But then, I decided to break the silence and greet him with a bright smile on my face.

"Good morning, Alex," I said, hoping to get his attention. He looked surprised when he saw me and quickly placed his hand over his eyes, rubbing them gently to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

To my surprise, he called out my name in disbelief, "Abby?" It was clear that he never expected to see me awake and smiling at him so soon.

I could sense his shock and confusion, but I was happy to see him alive and well. Despite the pain I still felt in my back, I felt relieved that I had made it through whatever ordeal I had been through.

As Alex sat up, still in disbelief, I knew that we had a lot to talk about. But for now, I was just happy to be with him and to see that he was okay.

We had survived whatever had happened to us, and that was all that mattered for the moment.

As Alex stood up suddenly, I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. His antics always brought me joy and made me yearn for him even more.

"What? I'm the one, Alex. Now quit acting that way!" I said, playfully teasing him. He immediately came closer to me for a hug, and I couldn't resist his embrace. But as he held me tightly, I couldn't help but feel the pain in my back. "Hey... easy there, you're going to make me lose my ribs because of this!" I tapped him on the shoulders, trying to caution him about my pain.

I knew that I had to be careful not to lose my sanity because of the pain in my spine.

As much as I enjoyed being close to Alex, I couldn't bear the thought of experiencing any more pain.

I had already gone through enough, and I didn't want to risk any further damage to my body.

Despite my cautionary words, however, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Alex's presence.

His warmth and affection made me feel alive and happy, despite the pain that still lingered in my body.

As Alex pulled away from our embrace, I could tell that he was still processing the fact that I was okay. His joy was evident on his face as he apologised for his earlier behaviour. "I'm .. I'm sorry, Abby. I didn't mean to..." "It's fine, Alex. I understand. I'm just so happy you're here with me!" I said, coughing a little at the end.

He immediately became concerned and placed his hand on my forehead to check my temperature.

I couldn't help but giggle at his actions, but he was determined to make sure I was okay. "Stop it, Alex. You're making me laugh a lot!" I said, trying to contain my laughter.

But Alex was not willing to stop the chase. "You're my wife, and I bet you, I can do more than that if you want!" he said, coming closer to my face and planting a sweet kiss on my lips. It was a tender moment that left me with the brightest smile on earth. Despite the pain in my back, I was grateful for Alex's love and care. His presence made all the difference, and I knew that I was going to be okay as long as he was by my side.

As I laid on the hospital bed, I couldn't help but feel grateful for having Alex by my side.

It was evident that he cared for me deeply and was overjoyed that I was okay. Memories of the past flashed through my mind as I thought about the difficult decision I had to make between Jack, who didn't care about my pregnancy, and Alex, who was willing to be with me through thick and thin.

As I looked at Alex's beaming face, I knew I had made the right choice. His sweet gestures and infectious laughter brought me so much joy.

He even apologised for being rough with me earlier and was concerned about my well-being. I was lucky to have him as my husband.

We shared a few more tender moments, and then Alex suddenly realised that he needed to call the doctor to share the good news about my recovery.

I watched him as he left the room, feeling grateful for the people who cared for me. It was a humbling experience to realize that my existence meant so much to so many people.

As I closed my eyes, I couldn't help but feel blessed to have Alex by my side. He was truly a gift, and I knew I would cherish every moment with him.

****

It had already been almost thirty minutes since he left and I was getting worried. I knew that the queue in front of the doctor's office would be long and it was possible that he might take a while.

I started to feel restless and agitated, still lying on my bed. I longed to get out of bed and explore the hospital to see what was happening around me. It seemed like a good idea since I was already awake.

Since I had been lying down for a while, I thought it would be best to stretch my body a bit.

However, as I tried to sit up, I realised that I couldn't move at all. It was quite strange because my hands were working just fine, but my main body seemed to be completely paralyzed.

I couldn't help but wonder what was happening to me. I briefly thought about what it could be, hoping that it wasn't something serious.

Although I was awake, I felt like something was wrong. Perhaps there were some consequences of my previous condition that I was not aware of.

Despite feeling numb in some parts of my body, I decided to force myself to get up. However, my attempts were futile as I felt like I had lost control of my body.

Desperate to regain control, I decided to roll out of bed, hoping that the sudden movement would jolt my body back to life. I rolled to the right side of the bed, determined to stand up on my feet. But suddenly, the worst thing happened.

With a loud and painful cry, I fell forcefully to the ground, yelling "Ahhhh... f**k!!!" The pain was excruciating, and it felt like my entire body was aching. I tried to move any part of my body, but I just couldn't muster the strength.

As I lay on the ground, my face pressed against the cold and sterile floor of the hospital, the smell of drugs filled my nostrils. I cried out for Alex, hoping that he would hear me and come to my aid.

"Alex!! Someone please help me!!" I shouted, feeling helpless and alone.

To my relief, I heard Alex's voice in the distance. He rushed towards me with a doctor by his side, and I knew that they were going to help me get back on my feet.

As they approached me, Alex called out my name in confusion, "Abby?? Abby, what are you doing on the ground?"

With their assistance, I tried to stand up, but I still couldn't move my body. I became more worried and anxious, wondering what was happening to me.

"What is wrong with me? Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked, hoping that they would be able to provide me with some answers.
