The Hardest Part
The Hardest Part
“Hayden’s wife…?” Amelia said with clear shock on her face.
Yeah. I guess many things happened while she was asleep. It must have been a shock to her to wake
up to find that Hayden had married me, and I was still standing in my wedding dress as if to prove that
that was in fact true.
“Come…” Hayden whispered to as he led me by the hand towards Amelia.
Suddenly, I felt extremely shy. Her eyes widened as she stared up into my face. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“This is Malissa. We got married recently,” Hayden introduced me again.
“You look like a little princess…congratulations…both of you…” Amelia said after a while of staring at
me in silence.
“I’m sorry about this but we need to transport her to the hospital now. The ambulance is here and ready
for her,” the doctor said with an apologetic smile.
Oh, right. She just regained consciousness so she should go to the hospital. I turned to Harvey and
saw him smiling at me.
“I’ll go with her. We’ll be ok…Thank you…” Harvey told us reassuringly.
“You owe me a huge ass one…” Hayden said with a smile.
I could somehow tell that he wasn’t just teasing his brother when he said that. After saying our
temporary farewells to Amelia, Hayden led me out of the room.
“Wow…she really woke up…” I mumbled to myself, still finding it hard to believe it.
“Yes, she did. Seems like our luck hasn’t completely run out after all…” Hayden replied with a chuckle.
Hayden took my hand and carefully led me back to the car.
People say that there are moments that would change the course of your life forever. Back then, as I
watched Harvey and Amelia embracing each other, I never imagined how much their reunion would
change the direction of my life with Hayden.
…
The following day, Hayden and I decided to visit Amelia at the hospital. Harvey did not return back to
the mansion last night which wasn’t a big surprise.
“Let’s get her a huge bouquet of flowers before we go up,” I suggested.
Amelia ended up hospitalized in the same hospital that my grandmother used to stay in. I knew that
there was a flower shop in the hospital and felt like we couldn’t turn up empty handed to visit the angel
who was resting upstairs. Hayden just nodded at my suggestion before I dragged him enthusiastically
after me into the flower shop.
“Something big…colorful and eye-catching,” I told the florist with sparking eyes.
“Sure. I’ll have something for you soon. Please wait a moment,” the florist replied with a smile.
I stood next to Hayden with a dumb smile on my face as I watched the florist go about her job of
preparing a bouquet for Amelia. Although I did not know Amelia personally, I was over the moon happy
that she had regain consciousness. The fact that both Hayden and Harvey were happy, made me feel
extremely joyous about this occasion too.
“You seem too happy,” Hayden muttered next to me before he ruffled my hair.
“Stop that…” I protested as I turned to glare at him.
Hayden laughed at me a little. He probably doesn’t know that he looked much more relaxed since
Amelia had woken up. It was a change that I welcomed with opened arms.
I carried a huge bouquet of flowers in my arms as we rode the elevator up to Amelia’s floor. These
flowers are so pretty, hopefully they can cheer Amelia up even if just a little. If everything goes well, she
should be out of the hospital soon. Then she will probably marry Harvey and live happily ever after. My
thoughts were a sparkling rainbow, and I couldn’t stop smiling all the way until we reached her hospital
room.
“Sorry for intruding…” I said cheerfully as I poked my head through the ajar door.
“Welcome,” Harvey said as he turned to smile at me.
Hayden walked in after me. Amelia was sitting up in bed and her complexion looked a lot better than
yesterday. I guess she had rested up well and she seemed to be in a good mood too.
“This is for you,” I said as I handed her the bouquet of flowers.
“Wow. They’re really pretty…” she said as she admired the colorful flowers in her arms.
I smiled happily. It was the right choice to get these flowers for her. Amelia looked much happier than
before. Her main source of happiness was probably Harvey and not the flowers that I had just given
her, though.
After sharing some small talk for a while, Amelia got tired and fell asleep. That was when Harvey
confessed to us that it would take her some time to fully recover. There were some lasting effects on
the body caused by her condition that would take some time to stabilize.
“But she’ll be alright, right?” I asked with worry.
“Yes, she should be fine according to the doctors,” Harvey replied reassuringly.
I heaved a sigh of relief at his words. She had finally woken up so it would be so sad if anything were to
happen to her.
Now that Amelia had fallen asleep, the conversation started to take a serious turn. I sat down on the
sofa and watched the two brothers as they stood next to each other.
“The hardest part is here, unfortunately…” Harvey said with a sigh.
“The hardest part?” I asked, not quite sure what he is referring to.
“Telling our dad that his favorite son never died in the first place…” Hayden replied with an
unsympathetic laugh.
Oh, right. Now that Amelia has woken up, Harvey can come back to life too. However, how are these
two going to break the news to the boss?
The bigger question was, what is going to happen to the gang now that Harvey is back?
Harvey did not seem at all hesitant about what he needed to do. He turned and placed a hand on
Hayden’s shoulder before he smiled confidently. At that moment, I couldn’t tell who had a cockier smile,
Hayden or Harvey.
“Let’s go talk to him together. I’ll handle it,” Harvey said with confidence.
“Yeah, you better…” Hayden muttered before he pulled Harvey’s hand away from his shoulder.
The two stared into each other’s eyes while I wonder what they had just communicated that could not
be expressed in words.
