The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 148

Seeing that the wife wasn’t budging, Ciara asked again, this time directly looking at Dexter’s wife.

” Please, I won’t do anything to him, I promise.”

The woman looked at her with a pocker face, but still stepped out of the room along with her inlaws.

Liam too gave her the space she needed as he slightly squeezed her shoulders then went on to wait outside with the others.

After everyone had left, Ciara’s tears came harder than before.

“Please God help him recover, I will not be able to live with the guilt weighing down on my heart should anything happen to him. Dexter if you make it out of this , if you wake up, I promise to forgive you for everything that you have put me through. I’ll forgive you whole heartedly this time.”

This was the time that when Dexter was coming out of his coma, since the bullet didn’t touch his brain, the drugs that the doctor gave him to induce the coma were light and were bound to wear off in a couple of hours.

At first he was confused by what was happening around him, and the woman’s weeping voice. When he listened carefully he realized that the voiced belonged to Ciara.

He lifted his heavy arm and removed the oxygen pipe or mask that was covering his mouth.

” You promise?”

His ruspy hoarse voice was heard and Ciara froze in one place, she could not believe her ears. When she raised her head to look at the man who seemed weak , she saw that his eye were opened and had a shallow smile on his face.

She wiped her face which was now soaking wet from her tears.

” Dexter why would you do such a thing, why did you put your life in danger like that, huh? How was I supposed to explain to your wife and parents, how could you be so irresponsible?.”

The man closed his eyes for a few seconds, the woman’s shouting was a bit too much for his head to handle. Noticing this Ciara apologized to him

” I’m sorry, was I too loud? Should I call the doctor.”

He waved his hand,

” Not yet, you would’ve done the same thing if it was you.”

” Don’t get ahead of yourself, I wouldn’t have done that. Unlike you, I value my life more.”

Dexter smiled and continued to say,

” You can say that now only because you don’t want to admit that you have a caring persona. Remember at those slums in the downtown area, were you not the one who rescued me when the Dube brothers nearly killed me.?”

” Yeah Yeah, they should’ve beaten you even harder so that you don’t ever put yourself in danger again.”

” mhm for you I’d do anything, I owe you far too much so sacrificing my life for you is nothing. And if that was what it took to earn your wholehearted forgiveness then I’d do it again. Mhhmmm.”

He didn’t get to say everything in his mind, but closed his eyes and m****d in pain as the pain he felt in his head got stronger and hard to bare.

” What’s wrong, let me get a doctor.”

Said Ciara as she rushed outside and shouted for the doctor.

As his family heard her shouting, they all tensed up thinking that his condition had gotten worse.

” what happend, what did you do to him?”

His wife asked as she rushed inside with the doctor.

” He’s awake, I think he’s in pain.”

The doctor nodded and got everyone to leave the ward so that they could do some tests on him and also give him some medication for his headache.

As they were leaving the room, the doctor pointed out to Ciara.

” Mrs Jones, you’ll need to go back to your room and rest, to allow your body to recover.”

She nodded and walked out with her husband beside her and returned to her hospital room which was now turned in to a restaurant as the girls had bought food for everyone and had started dishing up.

Once Ciara was settled in her room and with two of his men standing guard outside the room he felt that it was now safe to leave, besides Ciara’s friends were there to keep her company so he excused himself.

” I’ll come back tomorrow when they discharge you, I need to go to the police station to deal with the case.”

” Are you not going to eat something first?”

Liam shook his head and said he was fine for now but would grab something at the station with the guys.

She nodded and thanked him for being there for her and then kissed him before he left.

They ate their meal in silence, it was still awkward between the girls, nobody wanted to talk about what happened, fearing that it might trigger Ciara as she was still recovering.

They were all still shaken and traumatized but were holding it in for the one who had it hard.

” Liam said they caught the gunmam and that Boity might be working with him, so they were both arrested at the hotel.”

Ciara broke the silence when she noticed how stiff they were around the subject, so to show that she was holding it up well, she brought it up herself.

” I knew that woman couldn’t be trusted, just look at the trauma she has caused us. What if someone really died because of her?”

” I just pray that justice doesn’t fail us this time, I want to see her behind bars for a very long time. She is no human at all, to do this to her own family It’s just infuriating.”

” yes let her rot in there.”

Just hearing the possibility of Boity being the one responsible for the gunman, riled the girls even further.

” Don’t get too mad, now that they were arrested, Liam and the guys will make sure that they serve their time and wouldn’t hurt us again. Murder is one of the worse crimes you could possibly do in our country so there’s a big possibility that she might get life.”

Hours had passed since Boity was locked in that dark cold room with nothing but a table and chairs insides. As the round clock on the wall ticked she she felt like she was about to loose her mind. The sound of the ticks sounded very loud, deep in her head which caused her to be more agitated, she held her head and moved her upper body back and forth, back and forth.
