LOVE AGAIN

This time Luke made a fast move to take the hun from her but she closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.

The sound of the gunshot echoed across the basement.

She panicked seeing him dead with his eyes staring at her, horrified at sight she shot him five times in the head and ran off.

**PRINCE’S POV**

After a week or so we left the country for Australia, my step mom’s idea. I was worried for Valerie, I made sure I reminded her to wear something warm, because of winter weather, she always tells me not to worry but I can’t help it.

It’s been 6 months now, and Val always ask and talk about a surgery procedure, I never wanted to tell her how that scares me, I have had surgery before, and I don’t like that experience, I vowed never again , so going into it was something I have no faith in but I wanted to make her happy so I agreed.

The D-day was here, we had done the procedure and it’s time to reveal the face. The surgeons were also hoping it would turn out good, so they brought a hand mirror for me to look into.

“Mr prince, your family will be here any moment, are you excited?”

I smiled nervously.

“I think I am more nervous than excited. What if my eyes are still the same?”

I could feel the silence in the room after that question.

“Well we all pray it won’t be, we did our best Mr Prince”the doctor spoke as encouraging as he could.

I sighed deeply.

“Can I ask for a favour?”

“Of Course sir, go on”another voice replied, must be a nurse with him.

“If it actually works, I love to see my wife as the first person, not my reflection”.

“That’s so sweet”the female surgeons’ voices gasped and I heard them giggle a little.

I smiled back.

“Very well, we will wait for them”.

The doctor assured me and I nodded.

“Thanks”I replied softly, I can imagine how happy she will be if this works out just fine. I hope so, I hope because it will break her heart if I don’t regain my sight after this surgery.

I drew a deep breath in and exhaled deeply.

EPISODE 39

**VAL’S POV**

Today is the day , as said by the doctor, we will visit Prince. I was so excited, Zoey was also excited but annoying these days even her step mother Debra, very annoying and irritating me, actually I think everyone breathing around me is annoying me, I feel they don’t understand my emotions at all sometimes and by the way I have been eating vigorously lately and being my due month, I can’t help it.

Mother in law said it will be over soon. I should just endure it. She understands me very well even though she had no child, I appreciate her care and support for me in absence of Prince’s help due to his disability.

It was the reveal day, Zoey was so excited she had to wake us up earlier than supposed so we could get to the hospital.

We entered the car and drove to the hospital for his new face and sight test but unfortunately I won’t stop going to the bathroom.

Mother in law finally agreed we should go get something to eat after I persuaded her in the car for an hour,

“Mom why is sweet Val eating like that?”Zoey snapped, giving me a confused expression.

I stopped and stared at Zoey with a tight frown then continued eating my food like I have been starving for a hundred years.

“Wow she had a lot of appetite!”she commented again.

Mrs Debra laughed heartily and smiled at her.

“Zoey it’s not her fault, she is eating for two now”.

“But it’s just a little frog he won’t eat much, so I don’t believe that excuse,”Zoey shrugged.

“Zoey I know what’s best to make you shut up”

I snapped out and took her plate and eat from it.

“Mom!!,…. bitter val!!”she whined.

The restaurant waitress came and my mother -in -law paid and we continued our journey. I grabbed some foodies with me to eat in the car.

We finally got to the hospital, Zoey and Mrs Debra had to work slowly because of me. A nurse approached mother in-laws nad they started discussing maybe about Prince but I don’t have time for their discussion, I just walked straight to the hospital reception and took a juice from the freezer.

The nurse’s reaction was priceless, I didn’t like the taste so I dropped it on her table, and sat on the waiting bench by the corner of the room.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain below my pelvic region, my eyes widened the moment I understood what was going, the next thing my water broke.

I screamed out, nervous , excited finally yet in pain.

A nurse rushed to me and Zoey and mother ran to me too.

A hospital stroller was brought and they carried me to the delivery department.

**PRINCE’S POV***

I wonder why they are taking longer than supposed, are they alright?

As soon the door opened, I got up excitedly.

“Val…?”
