The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 81

” Hey man talk what do you mean by that? Have you figured out what poison Wilson used?”

His friends were eager to hear the answer but now Liam was taking his time to answer them.

” Not that I know for sure, but the only explanation I can come up with is that he might have that ancient semi poison, it’s a rare liquid which was used to either blackmail or get someone to submit to your demands.”

He then kept quiet and silence engulfed the whole room, it seemed like everyone was in deep thought. Finnick again stood up and faced his friends, in an uncertain manner he shared his thoughts with them.

” Do you think he still hasn’t given up on putting pressure on Ciara so that she can separate from you? Could it be that he is attacking everyone most dear to her so that he can achieve his goal.”

Upon hearing this Matthew also shook his head and and voiced out his concerns.

” No man, you better be careful bro. If he really gets you to ingest that poison, your relationship is as good as dead. You know that woman loves you and will sure divorce you in order to save your life.”

” You think I don’t know that. I guess now I’m not touching anything that’s not prepared by my wife or maid. Sigh!! “.

Ciara slowly got out of her car and carefully made her way in to the hospital. She was able to reach the intensive care unit wards without being noticed by anyone. She provided proof that she was family and was allowed entry to her grandpa’s unit.

The moment she entered the room, tears filled her eyes and began crying silently but still let her tears roll down her eyes. She was now standing next to old man Williams’ bed and cried even harder, she was not able to say everything she wanted to say but what escaped her mouth was only..

” Owh PA I’m so sorry, I’m really sorry. This is all my fault please forgive me. I’m so sorry.”

She was so caught up with her emotions that she failed to notice that she now had company in the room.

” Don’t you dare say you are sorry, you made the decision deal with it. Now get out of here before I drag you out myself! “

That was her father’s loud angry voice, which startled her. And that’s when she realized that she had lost track of time, she was meant to quickly go in and see the old man for just a minute and completely vanish from the hospital.

She wiped her eye then looked her parents before apologizing to them.

” I’m sorry, I’ll be on my way then.”

She wasted no time after that as she immediately made her way out of the ward and left.

Not long after that Wilson came in and greeted them, noticing how distraught they looked he offered to go get them a bottle of water each but Mark Williams said he was fine but he can get a bottle for Mrs Williams. With that Wilson left to get the water but came back in less than a minute with a bottle in his hand.

” You came back so soon, did you forget something.”

” No I actually bumped in to Ciara and she gave me this bottle and said she’ll get herself another one.”

” I can’t believe that rascal is still here, we don’t want her water we get water for ourselves!”

If Mr Williams wasn’t angry earlier, he surely is now. When Wilson was about to turn around and go out, Hillary stopped him by reaching out her hands to grab the water bottle.

” it’s ok brother I do not mind. “

She then took a sip of her water and frowned.

” why does this water taste like there’s salt in it.”

“it’s probably too fresh.”

Apart from its salty taste she too didn’t think there was something wrong with the water as the cap was still sealed when she got the bottle. So she drank all the water till the last drop. A minute after that she started feeling light headed and didn’t know what was wrong with her, she tried leaning on Mark her husband but found that she was loosing her consciousness. Just like that the poor woman fainted. Both men shouted for the doctor’s help, Mark held his wife while Wilson went out to get the doctor. Minutes later Hillary was being wheeled to the emergency room.

After Ciara left the hospital she thought about everything that’s been happening and her loved one potentially being at risk because of her, and thought maybe leaving would be the best solution for all. But before she could leave she wanted to be selfish for the day, yes she couldn’t help grandpa but she can still save the others, she wanted to spend the rest of this day with her husband and create their final memory together.

She drove to the nearest supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients for the meal she wanted to prepare for her husband, she got flowers and after that she drove to the mall and walked up to a jewelery shop. She looked at a few wedding rings till her eyes rested on the beautiful matching black and rose gold wedding bands.

Those band were expensive but she knew needed to get them today or there will be no chance fo her to do that in the future. After she made her purchase she headed to the bank and withdrew a large sum of money and then headed back home.

When she opened the door she found Liam seating on the couch with a laptop on his lap working.

” You know I was about to call the police and file for a missing person’s report.”

That was meant to be a joke to Ciara but in the all she felt was guilt towards her husband.

When Liam lift up his head he noticed that Ciara had lots of shopping bags in her hand, so he stood up and helped her carry all the bags from the car to the kitchen.
