His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“Ley,” Eugene calls softly helping me to stand up.

“WHY!” Hunter continued to shout.

I left Eugene then went to Hunter.

“Enough, Hunter,” I said and hug him. He didn’t move and just keeps on crying while kneeling. “Please, Hunter, stop this.” My hands moved towards Hunter’s face then turned it towards me. “Stop.” I cried too.

“Why, Ley? Why did this happen, is this compensation for all my sins against you.” I shuddered as I watched him crying. I can’t handle the pain I felt now, this is more painful than seeing him kneeling to me before and begging me to take back my heart.

“Fate did this to us, and we are all victims.” I still can’t deny that I still love him and it hurts me to see him struggle.

“Forgive Ley for everything I did to you and our son. Forgive me.” I hugged him and I felt him hug me back. This is the hug of the two people who are still in love but can’t be together.

I’ve waited for this hug with love from him for a long time. But I never thought I would experience it in this kind of situation.

I heard the sound of ambulances with patrol cars. I don’t know if they are going here or elsewhere because it sounds far away. But I hope they were going here.

“Everything will be ok,” I said.

When Hunter calms down I immediately approached Vince. He was exhausted but he still tried to open his eyes.

“Le-Ley. My eyes take care of my eyes, Ley. My son, Ley, and please forgive,” I reached for his hand then placed it on my face.

“Vince, I forgive you and thank you for giving me a Ulysses.” He smiled back at me.

“Thank you, Ley, thank you for forgiving.” Then he closed his eyes.

“Ley,” I look at Eugene who has now supported Kyla so I let go of Vince’s hand and immediately approached Kyla.

“Ky,” I called her name. “Fight back and you still owe me a lot. You’re not allowed to die because you have to repay me.” But she just gave me a smile and then turned a blind eye.

The cops came and looked at us and immediately approached Eugene. I no longer understood what they were talking about because my mind now was on Kyla and Vince. I saw Hunter being handcuffed by the cops after talking to Eugene.

I saw some of them took Vince and Kyla. I also approached and Kyla that taken by a man in white who I think was medical assistance. Hunter was now walking while holding by the cops so I immediately followed them.

“Wait.” They stop so I ask the police if I want to talk to Hunter first.

“I will help you hire the greatest attorney, I’ll assure you that you won’t be in jail. Kyla is your wife and she cheated on you so you have a fight in court.” I give him assurance.

“I want to imprison Ley, not because of what I did to Vince and Kyla but because of what I did to their baby, I killed a baby,” He said. “I let my anger overcome when I heard Kyla talking to Vince and they were going to meet. I wouldn’t have cared if they had a relationship. I was just hurt when I found out that I am not the father of the baby.” I could feel the pain in Hunter’s voice.

“I’m sorry, Ley if I include you. I didn’t think your son needed you.”

“Shh! You need me too don’t you?” He nods and I could see the sadness in his eyes that wanted to cry anytime.

“Do you still love me, Ley?” he asked, and now he is crying.

“It never changes. My love for you never changes and I know it will remain forever.”

“Thank you,” he said then reached for my forehead to kiss. “Thank you for loving me, Ley.” I felt his tears fall on my head. I knew everyone would judge me because despite what had happened I still chose to love Hunter.

Despite the pain that he gave me and even though there were people who loved me I still preferred to continue to love him.

Martyr if martyr, but I believe Hunter and I are both victims here.

Police took Hunter and put him in the patrol car. While Eugene and I are together in the one vehicle following Vince’s ambulance.

Eugene said he was bored waiting for me. He goes to the nurse station and asked them what kind of medicine the doctor give and why I took so long. The nurse said that they did not give anything to us.

He asked the nurse to look after Ulysses and he will try to check on me.

When he got out of the hospital parking he saw my car but the GPS didn’t point there. He followed my GPS and it brought him here. He first saw Hunter’s car so before he entered the house he called the police. When he came closer he saw some blood so he thought there might be a wounded inside so he called an ambulance.

As he walked he saw Vince’s car. He thought the three of us might get into trouble and he was afraid that I might be the one injured. So, he immediately went inside without knowing what he might catch or he might get hurt. And that’s he saw us.

When Vince arrives at the hospital he doesn’t want the doctors to save him anymore. Instead, he signed the weaver that he wants mercy killing. He said he has prostate cancer and he only has two to three months. He also wants to donate his eye to Ulysses.

He said he was tired of fighting the disease and he was having a hard time every time he feels ache. When the doctor took his record at the hospital it was clear that what he said is true. So, he was put under mercy killing after he was able to talk to his father and Kyla.

Before Vince died, he was able to talk to the police and get a statement signed by his blood. He acquitted Hunter and said he rushed there to escape Kyla with his baby but Hunter caught them so they got into trouble.

Hunter only defended himself so he was hit with a bat on the head and he also said that he was the owner of the gun that the police got.

Kyla is safe but what happened caused complications in her body. I’m not sure what it is but it says it’s in the uterus because it was forced so hard when the baby was aborted and it takes time before she was to the hospital.

When Vince’s vital signs stopped, Ulysses was immediately subjected to surgery because the eye from the donor must be transferred to the receiver within twenty-four hours. They just did a random test because they are father and son

And when the results match, they already conducted the operation.
