Chapter 62
**** AGNES P. O. V ****
THE NEXT DAY
I sat in the ward and stared at Ryan, waiting for him to open his eyes. I had already made food for him, so when he wakes up, I’ll feed him so he can get stronger.
I didn’t know how I was going to tell him about his health, but I prayed that he would get back to being human.
I don’t know what I’ll do if he doesn’t care about me this time. I love him, and it hurts to know that he doesn’t care about me anymore.
I heard little groans, and I saw Ryan close his eyes because he was hurting.
“Ryan!” I said happily, and he slowly opened his eyes, looked around, and then looked at me.
“Ryan it’s me. I said, “My name is Agnes,” and the next thing I knew, he was smiling at me.
“Hey.” He said and I laughed happily.
“How are you feeling?
” I asked and he smiled again.
“To be honest, I don’t know. I only know that my body hurts and that I was shot while I was trying to save Melina. Where is she? “He asked me to hold his hand, and I did.
“Weak too. But she’ll be okay,” I said with a smile.
“What did the doctor say about my health?
” He asked staring at me.
“Can you please let me ask you a question first?
” I asked, and he gave me a yes.
He said, “Keep going.”
“Do you love me? Do you care about me at all? I asked, and he gave me a smile.
“Agnes, you are the second and last woman I’ve loved in my whole life. He told me, “I love you, and you should know that.” I laughed with joy.
“Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to tell me that? “I hoped and prayed so hard that when you wake up, you’ll be human again,” I told him. He smiled.
“When I opened my eyes for the first time, I hoped to see you first. And that is what did happen. He held my hand and said, “I couldn’t stop dreaming about you while I was sleeping.” We both laughed.
I told him, “The sweet Ryan is back,” and he agreed.
He said, “Yes, he is,” and I lightly kissed his lips.
“So, where am I going to get out?” “Can’t wait to get out of here,” he said. I sighed and bowed my head in sadness.
“Ryan, the doctor didn’t have good news. I said, “But it’s for the best,” and his smile went away.
“I can handle it if it doesn’t mean letting you go,” he said, and I smiled.
I told him, “He said the bullet hit some important organs and you won’t be able to walk for a month.” His mouth fell open.
“How does he think I’m going to move in a month? I laid in bed this way? ” He asked, and I nodded.
“No. He suggested that you sit in a chair for a month,” I told him, and he looked away sad.
“Ryan, I know this is hard, but if you try to walk or don’t listen to what he says, it will make things worse, and I don’t dream or even think about losing you,” I told him. He looked at me.
“So you want to be with a guy who won’t walk for a month on one leg?
” He asked.
“I waited for you to be kind for weeks. I told him, “I don’t mind waiting a month for you to get back on your feet.” He took my hand and kissed the back of my palm.
“I love you Agnes. I really appreciate it, and I want to say thanks. He said, “Thank you for everything, and for being there for me when I needed someone even though I was a pain in the a*s.” I smiled.
“You should really thank Gracie. I told him, “She taught me how to keep believing,” and he shook his head.
“No, you showed her. Remember how you got her to like Jason? He told me, “You are still the best at believing in people.” I lowered my head and kissed him again.
“Ryan,” I heard Jason say at the door. Both he and Ryan looked happy.
“Let’s see who’s here. “Ryan said, and Jason came up to us and hugged Ryan against the bed.
“I am happy you are okay.” He said.
He said, “That’s okay, but the fact that you sat on a chair for a month makes it not quite okay.” Jason smiled.
“I trust you. He looked at me and said, “You can do this with Agnes by your side.”
“Yes, I know, which is why I’m glad to see her. Ryan said, “Little brother, we need to talk,” and Jason looked at me.
“Melina is awake and with Harrison. Jason said, “You should go see her,” and I nodded and looked at Ryan before leaving the ward.
I walked down the hall to where Gracie’s room was. When I got there, I looked in through the door and saw that she and Harrison were having a good talk because of the look on her face.
I bet Jason hasn’t told her about the baby yet, which is good because she shouldn’t know anything since she still has high blood pressure.
When I opened the door, they both looked at me.
“Agnes,” she said with a smile.
“Gracie. How do you feel at the moment? ” I asked grinning as I kissed her forehead.
“Better, thanks to all of you,” she said with a smile, and as I looked at Harrison, I nodded.
He told me, “Even when she’s sick, she’s still very pretty,” and I laughed.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I said, “Yes, she is.”
“What’s up with Nina? “She saved both my life and Jason’s,” she told Harrison as she looked at him.
“She was running for her life. Jason said that he let her go once because she saved your lives, but he won’t let her go again if he sees her again. She sighed.
“How do you feel about that?
” He was asked.
“I don’t ever want to look at her again. He said, “I want to get the hell out of this town as soon as you get out of the army and leave this country for good.”
“You and Jason have already talked about going somewhere?
” She asked, and he said, “Yes.”
“It’s a good thing. He told her, “It’s for you and the baby.” She let out a sad sigh.
She said, “I’m going to miss Jason so much, which is why it’s so hard to just leave,” and I knew exactly how she felt.
I felt the same way when Ryan lost his humanity.
“Don’t worry about how much you’ll miss him. He told her, “He will go with you,” and her eyes got big.
“Really? I asked him, “What about his job? He’s never left this town.” He looked at me.
“You have to give up something in order to keep your family safe. Jason is going to do exactly that. But we have to be careful, we can’t tell anyone, because we don’t want more attacks on our way out of town,” he said, and I nodded.
I was worried about what would happen to Ryan and me. Jason and Melina were leaving, and Harrison was also leaving. That meant that Ryan and I would be the only ones left in this town.
