I’m Dedicated To You

GEORGINA’S POV

It has been a week since I woke up but I still get chills thinking of the incident that almost claimed my life. I can’t believe that someone as sweet as Bernard could ever claim to be a threat.

I relished those memories was haunting and I never thought I could ever escape from that hellhole and horrible experience and right now I’m wishing that I could lose my memories again so I could forget about that horrible experience.

“Babe, are you okay?” I heard Bradley’s worries and when I pry my eyes open I noticed that I was holding tight to the duvet while I was relishing the moment and I smiled sadly at him.

“I’m fine maybe I’m just a bit stressed,” I say and I also grin at the excuse because it was obvious that I was terrified but Bradley didn’t pry anymore though Andi was grateful for it.

“Where is Tori?” I asked looking around the VIP ward room and I noticed that Bradley was uneasy. “She went home to pack some necessities but she would be back soon,” he said, and nodded my head but my eyes moved to the woman that was sitting elegantly on the couch present in the room and I felt awkward looking at the woman that looks like the older version of me.

Bradley has already briefed me on what happened and how he also got to know about her existence and that was also baffling me.

Why does she come now? Why not earlier?

“Did you need anything?” Bradley asked, kissing me on my forehead and warmth filled my body with his gesture and I decided to hold onto him but I noticed my body was too weak and I sighed.

Everyone now knows about my illness but the fact that Bradley hasn’t questioned why I kept the truth from him was what still baffling me.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Yes, can I please have alone time with her,” I whispered slowly to Bradley and he nodded his head before he exited the room while bowing to my supposed Aunt.

I looked at the woman and it was like she was already prepared for my questioning so I didn’t bother beating around the bush.

“Are you really my Aunt?” I looked at the woman that looks like the older version of me. “I don’t even know who my parent is but someone is here claiming to be my Aunt. Did you think that makes sense,” I say and the woman sighs sadly walking up to me.

“I think that’s not the question you wanted to ask me,” I bet what you really want to know is, why are you just looking for me now? Huh, you are my Aunt what about my parent too?” The woman says and I felt embarrassed seeing my bubble play was caught and I ran my hands through my head in frustration but I noticed something.

I brought my hands forth and I noticed that I got some strands of my hair between my fingers and I knew what was happening. My hair was starting to fall apart.

“Oh my goodness, it looks like your illness has really worsened. You really need surgery,” my Aunt says and she makes to go out but I call her back.

“Can you please keep what happens now a secret from Bradley?” I asked and she sighs heavily. “Why are you doing this? Is he, not your husband? Why can’t you tell him all this and let him get treated, the doctor says you can still survive sur…..,” Georgina’s Aunt was saying but her words got suspended by me.

“I don’t want to forget!” I bellowed and she looked at him weirdly. “What are you saying?” She asked but I didn’t reply to her.

“I hope whatever happens here stays between us and……thank you for looking for me,” I say laying my back on the bed without sparing a glance again but I heard her sigh heavily.

“I have failed your parents, I found you late but you are sick and you won’t get surgery, I’m really a bad Aunt, I’m not?”. she asked but I didn’t bother to reply to her. “I know I’m no one to you but I am shamelessly requesting you to please get treated…. that’s my only request and if you don’t do it for me, do it

t for your parents,” she says and my heart ached wondering what I was doing.

I didn’t go on with the surgery before because I was using my parent as an excuse but what about how? Why can’t I get the surgery?

That was the lingering question on my mind.

BRADLEY’S POV

I went back to the ward after giving Georgina and her Aunt some space and with the tense mood in the room their talking must have not gone well but I didn’t dwell on that.

“Hubby,” Georgina calked opening her arms to me and I smiled sadly seeing how she was trying to look healthy even though she was not okay.

“Ohh, did you miss me?” I asked and she nods her head and I scooped her into my embrace.

How much I have missed having her in my arms? I satiated the moment disregarding the elder that was in the room but the moment got cut short by the blaring of my phone.

I let go of Georgina reluctantly and I touched up my phone with so much anger but the person’s on the other side of the phone’s worried tone got me also worried.

“We found her boss,” my man reported over the phone but from his voice I could notice that he was tensed and I knew immediately that something was wrong. “Where is she?” I asked with my voice grave but note looking at Georgina lightened up my mood again but the man’s next words shocked me to the bone.

“We found her body dumped on the sea,” they say and my body turns rigid in shock. “What!” I yelled and I noticed that my panicked action might have raised suspicion because Georgina was looking at me with a knitted eyebrow a di new at that time that I had to step out to receive the call. “I would have to take this outside,” I say slowly and I make my way out of the room and I resumed my call.

“What did you mean that you found her body dumped in the sea?” I asked my man with so much venom in my voice and the man apologized for his incompetence. “It was all our fault that we didn’t search well for her but all her effort has gone down the drain,” the man says on the other side of the phone.

I sighed heavily knowing that the situation was hectic because Olivia’s death was going to cause a lot of trauma, especially for Georgina who was just recovering. “You can call the police but make sure that the press doesn’t get a whiff of it. We don’t want anyone to know what happened to Olivia now,” I was saying but a voice came behind me.

“What are you saying?” I heard a voice behind me and I turned to see shocked Victoria looking at me like I was some alien and I wondered what she was doing behind me but I saw that she went to get something at the departmental store because the bag she was holding fell off and the things spewed out.

“Something happened to Olivia?” She asked but it was like she was refuting it and I sighed because I was confused about how to tell the lady what happened. “Please talk to me, Mr. Hale!” She exclaimed.

“We have to go,” I say and the expression on her face was grave when I said that, and without many words, I already conveyed what happened. “But…. how…,” Victoria stuttered and she fell to the ground.
