Chapter 553 - The Pain Was All Worth It



It had only been a couple of days since he was allowed to leave the hospital. Although the doctors said he was recovering well, she did not want him to abuse his body until he was fully healed.

"I am fine. Don't worry." Alex stopped in his tracks and waited for her. Although he still felt the pain of his injuries, it was not a hinder anymore in his movements. "I am being careful."

He believed that moving around would not impair his recovery. It was actually helping hastened the healing process. His doctors also said that he could do it gradually.

He immediately took Dani's offered arms to assist him out of the door. When he was finally seated on a chair outside, he felt so much better. He liked the feel of the cool breeze outside the open air.

"You can't blame me. I just don't like to see you worsen your condition." She explained her overprotectiveness as she gazed into his face, which was still a bit pale.

She could only guess that he was still in pain but trying hard not to show her. The doctors said his injuries would take weeks before he felt a bit normal. But it would still take time before his injuries fully heal.

She was relieved to learn that he was now in the clear from any danger. She guessed that was the most important. She was glad that he was on the road to recovery.

But she agreed with the doctors that they must attend a few therapy sessions for their trauma. Even if Alex did not think it was necessary. It would not hurt to talk to someone about their experience.

"Ok. But stop worrying. I am doing so much better." Alex smiled at her as he leaned over and reached out for her hand.

He pulled it closer to his face and planted a kiss on her fingers. He truly appreciated what she was doing for him. Taking care of his needs.

He planned to make it up to her as soon as he was well. He would take her on another trip for their honeymoon and make her the happiest woman on the planet.

However, he still needed to do one thing first before devoting his entire time to her. He had to make Nick pay. He had heard that Nick had already surrendered to the authorities yesterday.

He was now under the custody of the authorities while the case was being investigated. However, he was not taking his chances against Nick. He had to prepare everything he got on him to take him down, once and for all.

"But you need to slow down. Take more rest." Dani suggested, watching him with concern.

She discovered that he already had several meetings for his company this morning. Then he had been talking with the authorities this afternoon.

"Well, shouldn't you be doing the same thing?" Alex showed her a big grin, knowing that he had made a fair point.

He was grateful that nothing horrible happened to his wife during the abduction. Except for a few minor bruises, she appeared physically well.

But he could sense that she was still terribly shaken by the experience. He believed that seeing him in that condition could not have been easy for her. Mentally and emotionally, she was affected and traumatized.

"Guilty," Dani admitted, realizing she should also be listening to her own advice.

She had been out the entire day. She had visited her work, hoping just to catch up with her cases, but Jacky would not have it. Even her bosses politely turned her away and made her go home.

She did not plan to go back to work yet but just checked on her clients. She had been away for too long that she felt obligated to see if someone needed her attention.

But they had assured her that she had nothing to worry about except rest and try to get better. She might not be injured physically, but she might still be shaken mentally. Besides, Alex still needed her.

But, she also stopped by to visit her father and checked on Nick's case. She was thankful that her father had listened to her. He allowed the authorities to build a case against Nick instead of going after him.

"Anyway, for tonight, can we just forget the whole thing and focus on us." Alex gazed at the almost darkening sky, wishing that they were on the beach or somewhere else besides his apartment, enjoying each other's company.

However, he still believed that despite the incident. It should not stop them from continuing their lives. They still have a honeymoon to resume and a lifetime of their married life to enjoy.

"I think that is a very nice idea." She could not agree more with him, nodding her head in understanding.

She was also tired of thinking about the case or Nick consuming most of her waking hours. If she was being honest, even in her nightmares. She had to start regaining her life back.

The only way to do that was to take the control back. Not to allow the past to dictate her future. She had to put Nick at the back of her mind and concentrate on building a life with Alex. Well, even for a few moments.

"Then, shall we continue with our honeymoon?" Alex pulled her closer to him until she was close enough to lean in for a kiss. "What about making our first prince?" He suggested after a short but meaningful kiss.

He had been wanting to hold her in his arms for the longest time. Wishing to kiss her since he could remember. He could feel the tightness in his chest, remembering he had almost lost the chance to be with her again.

"I don't think you are physically well to perform that task." She teased him, remembering that he was still physically unable to move much.

She was also afraid that she might hurt him in the process of making love. Although, she longed to be with him again. To feel his lips and hands explore her body.

She almost cried, thinking she could have lost him. However, she believed she should smile because fate had given them another chance for love and life.

"Is that so?" He questioned her, appalled that she doubted him. "I think I should teach you a lesson." He grabbed her and pulled her into his lap.

But the suddenness of his movements, then the slight bump of her back on his injured ribs, made him winced in pain. She immediately stood up and fussed about his injury.

"Now, look at what you have done." She reprimanded him for his foolishness. But she could not help but pity him for his suffering.

But he only laughed at their situation, but it only had worsened his pain as he held onto his chest, trying to control himself. But the look on Dani's face was priceless, he thought.

"I love you so much, Dani," Alex said when he had calmed down, as he held her face in his hands. He felt so lucky to have married the best wife in the world.. He believed the pain was all worth it.
