HOW DID I GET MARRIED? - Chapter 44:Saving My Wife!
There was an angry looking Nathan standing where the door used to be, He stared at the cuffs around Shola’s wrist and the temperature in the room instantly dropped
With a gun in his hand, he walked up to Shola
“Are you ok?, Did she hurt you?”
“What took you so long?” Shola said angrily, although deep down she was happy and relieved.
“I got stuck in traffic” Nathan said jokingly.
He then turned to look at Elizabeth, his eyes turned cold she could help but shiver
He had never looked at her like that before…..she needed to find a way, a way to get out of this mess
“N…Nathan this isn’t what it looks like”
“Did I ask you speak?” Nathan said as he stretched out his hand to her “The key to the cuffs”
Elizabeth felt goosbumps all over her body, she shakily handed over the key to him.
This wasn’t what she wanted, she stared around for a while and took the first thing she saw to hit his head.
The glass vase broke into pieces, leaving Shola shocked
Nathan felt the blood dripping from his head but he acted like he felt nothing
He had actually gone through worse.
Elizabeth stared at him in shock, “How…” She was puzzled
She was sure that the vase was supposed to knock him out cold!
Nathan opened the cuffs and rubbed Shola’s wrist gently “Does it hurt?”
“Nathan you…..you’re bleeding” Shola said with a shaky voice, he was bleeding so much yet he was asking her about her wrist
“It’s okay, let’s go home” His vision was getting blurry but he wouldn’t succumb till he got her out of here!
“As for you….I’ll deal with you later” he said to Elizabeth as he helped Shola to stand.
After leaving the house Nathan sat in the car exhausted, he had lost too much blood
“Nathan let me drive!” Shola said as she exchanged seats with him, she wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and get to the hospital.
She was too frightened by Nathan’s injury. Nathan closed his eyes enduring the pain, he didn’t think Elizabeth would hurt him as well
‘I guess our friendship isn’t as good as I thought’
He checked his watch, it has been an hour already.
The police should be there by now, there was no longer anything to worry about….
“Nathan?….Nathan!” Shola panicked when she didn’t get an answer, she drove faster and soon made it to the nearest hospital.
Nathan was immediately taken to the emergency room.
Shola was scared, he was in this state because of her.
After a few hours, Nathan was finally stable but he hadn’t woken up
When Shola was allowed to see him she was scared, she didn’t want him to die because of her.
She would never forgive herself, after asking Weiwei to babysit Ella she finally went in.
She couldn’t sleep through the out the whole night, even though the doctors said he was fine
he hadn’t woken up yet, she was too worried to fall asleep.
She finally snapped out of her daze when the sun came up
With dark circles under her eyes she stared at Nathan’s pale face, held back her tears. she went into the bathroom and soon came out with a wet towel.
After she finished cleaning Nathan she just sat there staring at him, her eyes slowly closing.
She fell asleep next to his bed, tired but still worried.

Nathan opened his eyes but soon closed them, squinting his eyes to adjust them to the light.
He finally observed his surroundings, the walls were white and so was the comforter on him
‘definitely a hospital’ he thought to him self as he tried to sit up
The sharp pain at the back of his head made him halt in his actions.
It was then he noticed the sleeping woman next to him, his lips curled up as he admired her sleeping face.
She had dark circles under her s, she looked extremely tired.
“Sholana…” He called gently, his voice was hoarse but she heard it, she immediately raised her head and stared him with a huge smile on her face
“You’re awake!, what were you thinking coming to get me alone!” Shola complained sleepily, she was still drowsy but she wanted to scold him a bit
“Come here” He tapped the side of the bed as he created space for her
Shola got on the bed and hugged him, putting her head on his chest
“How are you feeling?” She asked with a worried expression
“Sholana”
“hmm?”
“Sholana”
“What?”
“Go to sleep” Nathan said as he wrapped his arms around her waist, Shola snuggled into his chest before going back to sleep.
Nathan stared at the bruise on her wrist and his expression turned gloomy “I was late to protect you again, I’m sorry”
Nathan didn’t expect her to answer but she did “Why is it your fault anytime I get hurt?, it wasn’t your fault so you don’t have to apologize to me Nathan”
Shola sleepily said, although she wanted to say more she was too lazy at the moment
“I love you Sholana”
“Mm”
Shola answered before drifting of to dream land.
Nathan stroked her hair gently with a smile on his face
“Sholana….what do i do?, I can’t even bear to see you scratched.
Elizabeth is not going to be released any year soon.”
