OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 208 - Let’s Just Be Like This
Chapter 208: Chapter 208 - Let’s Just Be Like This
"Doctor, I think we should put the husband and wife together in the same ward. Not only would it prevent occurrences like this but it would also make our visits easier," grandpa suggested, Alex calmed down upon hearing this, indicating that Joanna was fine.
"They were both eager to see each other, causing the woman to pass out," Grandpa continued, and Alex’s agitation resurfaced.
"Pass out? What are you talking about?" Alex was getting apprehensive and had to be sedated to go back to sleep since another set of doctors were working on Joanna.
"How could they have divorced when they loved each other so much?" Grandpa wondered, and Aiden explained,
"Grandpa, Alex had been looking for a woman for so many years, and it turns out that woman is Joanna. He didn’t know until everything that happened in Miami."
The old man did not feel that he had many years to live but was glad to have lived to this very moment.
"My son would be happy that my grandson found the happiness he didn’t," Grandpa said proudly.
The doctor came out of Joanna’s room to report. "Please, no more pressure on her. Both patients must rest," he said frustratedly when Grandpa asked him,
"What happened to her?"
"It was shock but nothing serious. Grandpa, I’m sorry, but you all have to go home," the doctor informed them.
Grandpa was tired but how could he leave without talking to Alex? "We would wait around but won’t come close to the wards until four hours later, but please move them to the same ward," he requested.
The doctor nodded. "That would be done." It wasn’t a problem because the couple in question were legally married.
A few hours later in Alex’s ward, Joanna was the first to wake up, finding herself in a different ward but with another patient.
Drawing closer, her joy knew no bounds. "Alex?" Her heart thumped excitedly, wondering if she was dreaming or if this was reality.
About to get off the bed, her movements were restricted by the IVs connected to her, but she quickly disconnected them and moved to Alex’s bed, hovering over him.
"Alex, can you hear me?"
Alex’s eyes drowsily opened, and he embraced her tightly. "Angel, you are here. I hope I’m not dreaming."
He shifted to the side and pulled her onto the bed with him. "How are you feeling?" he asked seriously, and Joanna kissed him on the lips.
"You are the injured one. How are you feeling?" She asked after pulling away, Alex captured her lips one more time, staring drowsily at her. It felt like a dream to see her like this.
Alex realized that indeed, Joanna had been fine, so why was she in the same hospital with him? "Wait, why are you here in a hospital gown? What happened to you?"
Joanna smiled and explained everything, and Alex sighed with relief. "I’m just glad you are fine. Even if we lose the child, it doesn’t matter."
For as long as she was there, they could always try again, and if that was impossible, there was always a means of adoption.
Joanna was excited because not only Alex but also their babies were fine. "Alex, the doctor said we’re gonna have triplets," she revealed, and Alex thought he was hearing wrong.
"Angel, what are you saying? Triplets? Are you sure your womb can carry them?"
His worry for her overshadowed his joy of having so many babies at once. There wouldn’t be a need to try again.
However, how could he forget about Joanna’s past injuries. The stab, and that bitch pushing her, aside from the emotional trauma Logan put them through?
Well, Joanna was determined to keep both she and their unborn babies safe, explaining her plans to Alex.
"For as long as I avoid strenuous activities and have lots of rest, this would be fine for both of us."
Alex recalled Dion. It was high time she met Joan, but the girl was so stubborn and wouldn’t allow Aiden to bring her.
"As soon as I get better, I will go bring Dion, but as for you, I will make sure you have all the rest you need," he assured her, pulling her safely to his chest. Joanna recalled something important.
"You mentioned the sponsorship. Does it apply to the victims you just rescued?" Being eager to seek the opportunity of investing in Alex’s dream, she could not forget this important part.
Alex was amazed that she remembered and nodded in agreement. "Yes. I will inform Dario so you can be registered, but where is he? And where is my phone?"
He was looking around with no sign of his phone as Joan recalled seeing Grandpa, Violet, and Aiden previously.
As to what arrangement was made to have her moved to Alex’s ward, she was very grateful for it and also happy that Alex was fine. "Maybe Aiden has it. Let’s just be like this. I thought I lost you."
She snuggled closer to him, taking in his warmth. Alex agreed, and they remained in that position before she suddenly remembered. "I don’t know about Logan’s condition, but we should ask the doctor later."
Alex didn’t know how to feel about his brother, wondering if telling him about Dion earlier would have prevented all that happened, but the most important thing was the fact that Logan realized his mistakes.
"Yes, as soon as a doctor walks in, we could ask, but now, let’s just sleep." He was still drowsy from the sedatives and with Joanna’s condition, more rest would be good for both of them.
In each other’s arms, they found the comfort that sent them into sleep for hours.
Outside the ward, four hours had passed, but the three people waiting had not received any information yet. It was frustrating and yet, they remained calm, as there was nothing else to do than wait.
On the hospital bench, Violet and Grandpa had fallen asleep and woken up, yet there was still no news.
Aiden kept watch for any signs from the doctor but getting none, he sneaked into Alex’s ward, shocked to see two people cuddling to sleep on the bed. What a wonderful day it was for him.
Suddenly, a thought came to his mind concerning Violet but he thought to keep it to himself until the right time.
A smile bloomed on his face as he returned to sleep beside Violet, allowing himself to doze off in the process.
Not knowing how much time had passed, a doctor tapped him on the shoulder. "The patients in the Kings family special ward would like to see you."
The moment Alex woke up, he was eager to see whoever was waiting for them since he began to feel energetic again.
"They are awake," Aiden said excitedly, waking Grandpa and Violet in the process. The sleep escaped from their faces instantly.
"Well, that’s good news," Grandpa said, hastening with Violet and Aiden to the ward, happy to see Alex and Joan eating together.
"Here was I, being worried about you two," he said with a smile. Joanna hastened and embraced him.
"Grandpa, I’m so glad you are here. Have you eaten yet? Let me order something for everybody."
No one refused her offer because they were starving without realizing it due to all the anxieties from before.
"And you need a lot of rest," Grandpa said and led her back to the bed. She smiled and extended her hand to Violet after ordering for more dishes.
The hospital belonged to the Kings so everyone was at the beck and call of Mrs. King.
"Come here, how have you been?" Joanna asked Violet, the latter sat on her bed, and embraced her as they began to catch up on everything that happened.
The extra dishes arrived and as they ate, Alex remembered something and enquired from Aiden.
"Has 3E’s father been united with him?" Aiden seemed to have forgotten that part and quickly dialed Dario’s number.
"3E’s father should be reunited with him."
"Got it," Dario replied and ended the call. Joanna remembered her sister and asked. "Nancy?"
"She’s fine. Only Dario sustained a second-degree burn trying to save Logan, but he’s out of the hospital and already back to work." He suddenly paused due to how Alex and Joanna glared at him, he quickly clarified.
"He insisted on going back."
Alex relaxed at the last part but made a mental note to have Dario take some weeks off with Nancy later.
Dario was secretly funding his family without their knowing it was him since he was declared dead before joining Salvatore’s men.
With his identity changed and all, his family would never recognize him even if they saw him.
Right now, his only known family was Nancy. Joanna knew the request she was going to make was not possible, but still, she had to try. "Can I see Nancy again?"
Per company policies, it was impossible but would Alex allow it just because Joanna was his wife? Aiden wondered if Alex was going to respond as Salvatore or Alexander King.
