Her Innocence novel Chapter 64

"Mr. Rivera, her bandages are fixed and the medicine she need to eat is placed on the table with the timing on this list." She handed me the list as she took her bag and started walking out of the room.

"Won't you be looking after her all night?" She turns to face me with a look of confusion.

"Aren't you a doctor yourself, I think you would do a better job than me." She said and finally walked out. Well, I am glad, she did. I wouldn't be able to handle her for long. I stepped towards my love as she laid asleep with the Propofol injected in her. I sat on the chair beside her and I took her delicate hand in mine, kissing it softly as if it might break.

"I am sorry, I thought I would be able to protect you but I couldn't do it." I licked my lips as I started talking to her as if she could hear me. "I wish I could just end this before it went too far, I wish I could do something to stop this but the what I truly wish for is that you never walked into the kitchen that day. I can't help myself blaming you. I was scared so, so much. I thought I would never be able to see you. and now the bruises I finally thought vanished have returned as if they belong there. THEY DON'T!" My hands started shaking as my tears fell nonstop. I stood up and walked away from her.

She caused us pain and yet she lives! I want to kill her so badly! I held the railing of our balcony as I watched the starry sky remembering our first date, we danced below it. How wonderful that day was as I started falling deeply in love with her. I took a bottle of bourbon and gulped my sorrow as I watched the trees dancing with the wind, they are enjoying our downfall. I don't remember how long I sat in the cold, but long enough to make me catch a cold. As I went back, I saw her sitting on the bed with her face blank and eyes staring at the wall. She looked like a person who was dead inside.

Walking towards her, I threw the bottle in the trash can making a loud thud as she faced me. Her eyes screamed fear as her fingers intertwined with each other making her look her a little prey.

"N- Nathan?" I sat right beside her as I knew she was getting scared by my lack of talking. I held up my hand to caress her cheek but stopped when she flinched. It's as if all the steps we took together came crumbling down as we fell right back to where we started.

"Are you afraid of me now?" I asked her as I cleared my throat. Her eyes softened as she shook her head to my question. I once again held my hand up and she let me caress her cheek. Scooting closer, I pulled her closer to me, being careful not to hurt her delicate body. Soon enough her sobs echoed around the room, her tears soaked my shirt, as she clutched it in a fist. She cried while gasping making a few tears slide down my cheeks.

"I lost- I lost it. I- I wouldn't have g-gone in there if I knew. You h- have to believe me, I wanted t- to be with you but-"

"Whatever happened we cannot stop it. It's gone..."

"How is she?" I asked Melanie, one of the doctors in the hospital.

"She is not good, as I said she got a hit in the head which will cause headache or a spinning sensation maybe even nausea, I wrote the medicine she needs for that and those fractures needs a total of 2 months. She needs to be at bed rest till she is healed. She might also need a Physiotherapy for walking, I noticed that she tried to fight off and kept up with trying to walk and it made it worse. I will be giving her a drip every day, she is too weak and," She stopped as I tried to take it all in. My eyes met hers with a look of pity as she tried to open her mouth to speak but couldn't.

Janet Rivera's POV

I cried at my foolishness, I lost my child and I am the only one to blame. Nathan hates me because of this. If only I was smart enough to leave at that moment then this wouldn't have happened. I tried to get up but couldn't. The stingy thing was attached to my wrist, I wanted to take it out but I know it will only harm me so I let it. I tried to get up from the bed but end up falling into the ground. It only made me cry harder. I wanted Nathan more than anything right now but I also know I don't deserve him after what I did.

I killed our child.

Nathan Rivera's POV

"Get every female doctor's profile working in this city now! I don't care if you are busy!" I yelled into the phone and cut the call as I stuffed the phone into my pocket. I was furious as hell! I won't feel good unless I get my hands on that woman, unless I see her getting tortured by my hands. I want her to lose the blood, my love had. I want her to die a slow and painful death. Till I am satisfied with what she did to our child.
