I’m Dedicated To You

CHAPTER 108: MEMORIES THAT MIGHT HAUNT HIM



GEORGINA’S POV

I watched as Bradley walked towards me and I noticed how tired the man was. “Did you miss me so much that you could not wait to see me?” Bradley asked as he picked me up to embrace me.

“What are you saying? I am just slightly happy to see you,” I say and I heard the man stiff a laugh. “You have lost some weight,” he mentioned and I kept quiet, not saying anything.

Bradley placed me gently back on the bed and he sat next to me. “I am just coming from the doctor’s office. I heard you agree to surgery,” he says, tucking my hair gently behind my ear.

“Yeah, I thought why not,” I say gently and he nods his head. I know I have been a bad wife because until the end I did not tell him about my illness and he has not once questioned me.

I am really bad for him.

“Bradley, what did you think about having a vacation?” I asked and I heard him sigh. “Did you have anywhere you want to go?” Bradley asked and I nodded my head. “Yes, I have a lot of places I want to visit with you but it looks like I might not get the chance,” I say slowly.

“Why won’t you get a chance? Let’s get you a good guest then I would make sure you get the best vacation of your life,” Bradley assured and I smiled knowing that time was not going to come.

“About Olivia’s case we are already getting closure on it and I promise that the culprits would be brought to justice soon enough,” Bradley says and my body shook in terror hearing that.

I have been trying my best not to think about what happened to Olivia because she has been giving lots of nightmares lately. “I am going to make sure I give her a befitting burial,” Bradley says and I just nodded my head not trying to say anything because I know that I would be a crying mess.

I don’t know if it’s guilt or it’s just that I missed this man so much that I could not help but keep whisking myself into his embrace and the fact that he kept embracing without complaining is what I find more assuring.

I snuggled more into his embrace and I noticed a faint smell of metal on him and I wondered where the smell got in him if he really was coming from the office.

“Where have you been?” I asked Bradley and he rubbed my head gently. “From the office,” he says and I know that that was a lie but I brushed it off.

We are both keeping a secret from each other but hers was more greater. She was betraying him.

“What would you do if I suddenly disappeared?” I asked, rubbing my hands gently on Bradley’s chest and I saw him jerked up immediately. “What? Is something wrong? Is the surgery risky?” Bradley asked, bombarding me with questions and I smiled seeing how the man cares so much and my heart aches knowing that I am going to hurt him leaving.

But it’s for the best, right? Or is it not?

“Why are you being paranoid? I am just asking don’t forget I once got kidnapped, it can happen again,” I say nonchalantly but Bradley was not having it.

“That is not going to happen again, I would make sure of it,” Bradley says with his face determined and I had to cool him off saying it was okay he doesn’t need to be hung on it.

After I was able to cool Bradley, silence reigned in the room with me just listening to the beating of his heart. “If you later really disappear…. I am going to make sure I found you no matter how long it takes. If I can look for you for 14 years then I don’t think I would not be able to do it,” Bradley says, breaking the silence and I felt a lump in my chest.

I knew he really meant it when he said he was going to keep looking for me and I felt ashamed to really say that his mother was not wrong.

What he just said was a good confession of how much he loves me and how he was going to hold on to me but right now I did not feel the joy.

I want to be the strength for the person that I love not, a source of weakness, and from the look of things she was really a weakness.

“Do you not think neglecting the company like this would have a negative effect and do not forget that I would leave you if you go broke,” I say playfully, hitting his chest while trying to give him a hint to go to work.

“Don’t worry Mrs. Hale, this husband of yours is very rich and that is not the reason why you proposed to marry me back then, because you know I am a capable man,” Bradley says, picking my nose.

“Oh my, was I that prude I am really proud of myself for not settling for less,” I say and I heard Bradleysnickers.

That was how we share different little tales with each other till the sun says goodbye to the city while the city welcomes the hue of the moon.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You should go home now, Victoria will be here soon, you should go home and have a goodnight rest,” I said and I heard the man shake his head in disagreement. “Don’t worry Mrs. Hale I am not going to do anything bad to you,” Bradley says grumpily and I laugh.

After so much deliberation I was finally able to get Bradley to leave.

“Mr Hale,” I called and the man turned around to look at me. “I love you, I really do you, Bradley Hale,” I say and Bradley walked towards me cupping my cheeks into his hands.

“I love you too, Mrs. Hale so quickly gets well soon there are many bad things I want to do to you,” he says and he places a soft kiss on my cracked lips.

The kids were tender oozing from the unexpressed emotions and a lot of unsaid words and at that time I knew I was going to miss the man in front of me terribly.

But I knew even though I did not give him much, at least I could give him some memories. But I don’t know if those memories would be pleasing for him or haunting but I was too scared to think about it.

Yes, I am that kind of a coward.
