The duo sobbed in each other’s arms.
Remembering he had to give her a shoulder to lean on instead of showing any sign of weakness, Oscar tried his best to get a hold of himself.
He wiped the tears off his face with his palm and diverted his attention to calming Victoria. It took a while but she eventually calmed down.
Oscar wiped tears away from the corner of her eyes and then went ahead to kiss her cheek.
“You are still recovering. I don’t want you to cry anymore. Your health matters so much to me.”
She nodded against his chest.
“How do you feel? The bruises?”
“My head feels heavy, as well as my body.”
“Sorry, my love.”
“I wish there was something I could do to case the pain off you. I hate to see you in pain.”
“I have to be strong for our Son. I will be fine.”
“I appreciate your positivity and I admire your strength. No doubt our Son takes after you. The doctor called him a fighter.”
“Yes, he’s a fighter. I’m so glad he is safe. I was so scared because even if we understood the situation, how were we going to explain to Sophie that the baby was no more? She would be so crushed that I doubt if she would ever get over it but I am grateful that isn’t the situation we are faced with now.”
“Same here,” Oscar mumbled, carefully caressing her cheek, avoiding touching her bruises.
“Not only Sophie, if that had happened, I may have lost you too because I know you wouldn’t want anything to do with me.” Victoria raised her head and looked into his eyes. “What do you mean?”
“You know what I’m talking about, babe. We’ve made so much progress already and that would be a setback for us. I’m so grateful the situation is different. I am never letting you leave my side.”
“But tell me what really happened.”
“I noticed a car following me after I left the store. And just when I thought that I was free from whoever the stalker was, a truck ran into me.”
“It wasn’t an accident,” Oscar said.
“I know. It’s just sad that someone wants me dead.”
“You know it’s from my end, right?”
“What do you mean? She stared at him curiously.
“Did the police say anything yet?” She added.
“No detailed information yet. But they said they were able to get a hold of the truck driver.”
“You’ve been safe in this country all these while but this has to happen when I’m here. Someone is definitely after me and they know you are my weakness, that is why they want to hurt you.”
“But you need not worry. This is a wake-up call for me to provide us with extra security. If looks could kill then I would probably be dead by now. Your brother was so pissed at me.”
Im sorry about that. I honestly don’t know what has come over Gabriel lately.”
“You’ve got nothing to be sorry for. He is just doing his job as an elder brother. I would probably do the same if I were in his shoes.”
“How did you know I was here? I was unsure if you’d be aware but still, I told the doctor that I wanted to see you alone,” “Your brother called the nanny so she informed me.”
Vicky nodded, “What about Sophie? She must have been so sad to see you leave.”
“Yeah, She was. But I told her I had to help you with something” I miss her.”
“Tdo too. But your brother’s Fiancee said they would stop by the house to check up on her before they head over to their place.”
“Who are you suspecting?” Vee whispered, staring at him curiously.
“I’m sure we both have the same person in mind. He probably has minions here who do these dirty jobs for him. Just like how he sent me false pictures when he wasn’t even in the country.”
“I don’t care whoever it is that did this to you, but I can promise you that he or she is never going to see the light of the day.”
“I don’t want you to have a hand in it.”
Oscar shook his head. “No one messes with me or my loved one and gets away with it.”
“I don’t mean letting the person off completely. I’m sure the police will do their job.”
“I can’t promise you anything. But I know I’m going to deal with the person terribly.”
“Let’s not talk about it. The Doctor said you need your rest, I shouldn’t be straining you.”
“I feel weak but that doesn’t mean I can’t make conversations with you.”
Oscar intertwined his hands with hers. “We have forever to make conversations with each other but you have to rest for now.”
Vicky nodded. “I need to inform Kathie about my absence so she won’t be worried about me.”
“I’ll take care of it..”
“My things are over there.” She gestured towards the couch on the opposite side of the room.
Oscar nodded, pulling her closer to him.
Vicky was almost falling asleep in his hard warm chest when a knock came through on the door, followed by the presence of a nurse who pushed a trolley in.
Vicky was forced to open her eyes.
The nurse and Oacar exchanged greetings after which she turned her attention to Victoria.
“How are you feeling, Ma’am?”
“Terrible but grateful.”
“Sorry about that; the discomfort will be gone in no time. I brought you some food”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Babe, you know our son is depending on you for so many nutrients.” Oscar chipped in.
“Your husband is right, Ma’am. I know you probably feel drowsy but you need to eat something for the sake of the baby.” “You’ve got drugs to take and they would only work if you eat something.”
Oscar caressed Vicky’s check. “Please, baby.”
Vicky finally gave in as Oscar guided her to sit up.
“Enjoy your meal. I’ll be right back with your drugs.” The nurse said after which she excused herself.
Oscar dished the food, sat opposite Vee, and fed her some as he tried to make some lively conversations in between.
“Husband, huh?” Oscar said, loving the fact that the nurse referred to him as that. He had it at the back of his mind to make it official with Vicky really soon.
She smiled weakly at him.
We after was done eating.
Victoria took them, then went back to her cuddling needed until she fell asleep.
