Chapter 218 - You Want Me To Propose You

His eyes started to well up when his foot step stopped in front of a particular room and he peek inside through the small glass window.

"Sunshine.." his breathing was unsteady and he quickly opened the door rushing inside only to find her sleeping.

Elena was sleeping on the hospital bed and an IV drip was inserted on the back of her palm. The beeping machine placed next to the drip stand moved up and down showing her heartbeat and pulse.

Lucas felt like his devastated world was finally regaining back it's life watching his wife in front of his eyes.

'But what happened to her' he thought as he reached next to the bed.

He took steady step and sat on the chair next to her bed. Holding on his stomach he settled down and reached his hand to hold her. The fear he was feeling a moment ago was gone now that he had seen Elena.

"Sunshine" he called her name softly while his thumb brushed the back of her palm.

Lucas looked around the room and frowned finding no one to look after his wife. He had at least hoped Daniel would not let his wife alone when she was pregnant and weak right at this moment.

Leaving her hand he sat on the bed next to her making some space for him and slept next to her. The surgery was done on the right side of his stomach. Keeping that in mind he slept on his left side and wrapped his arm around her stomach caressing her bump.

The moment he saw Marcus shot the gun he thought everything had came to an end. Just a minimal second and he blocked the shot taking the bullet on him.

"You are safe and next to me" he muttered burring his face in the crook of her neck as he inhaled her scent.

Lucas wanted to stop thinking the horrible incident happened to them and he slowly began to feel at peace when he inhaled her scent. His eyelashes turned heavy and he slowly drifted back to sleep. He was still high on his medicine and was feeling tired.

While the couple rested inside the room outside there was a huge commotion created.

The nurse informed Daniel about Lucas regaining his sense back and creating trouble not listening her. When Daniel first went to his room he found it empty.

"I told you not to leave him alone" Daniel shouted at the nurse and walked out from the room.

"Sir I tried to stop him but he was not listening" the nurse tried her best to stop Lucas but he was not ready to calm down and only kept asking about his wife.

Daniel rubbed his forehead thinking where he must have gone. Lucas had just his surgery and Daniel fear his brother reckless act can open his wounds.

Walking through the corridor, Daniel searched Lucas when he met Julian who had excused herself because of the call she made to Henry informing about Elena's condition.

"What happened?" she asked looking at his worried face.

"Lucas is not there in his room" he placed his palm on his forehead worrying where he must have gone. 

Lucas had just went through a surgery and walking recklessly can reopen his wounds which was a big deal.

"When did he wake up. You said the high power medicine will not wake him up until tomorrow" Julian had barely convinced Blake to rest as she and Daniel were there to look at both Lucas and Elena

"I don't know how did he woke up just like that.. We need to find him" Daniel made a call at security office and asked them if they saw Lucas walking out.

"No sir no one had entered or left the hospital" the man on the other end said. 

Daniel ended the call and asked the nurse did she saw him leave. The nursed was already sacred was now sweating profoundly watching the ever happy boss of her scaring the shit out of her as shook her head.

"No sir.. I came as soon as he started acting throwing everything" she had left the room the next moment hoping Lucas would not exit it but she was wrong.

They searched him everywhere but they couldn't find him when Daniel's eyes went to a particular direction.

Walking as fast as he could they reached Elena's room and entered only to find Lucas sleeping next to her.

"Oh.. this man is going to give me stroke someday" Daniel watched him in disbelief and went to look his pulse which was normal.

Lucas had scared him to death and was now sleeping peacefully next to his wife.

Julian smiled looking how Lucas was snuggling her daughter with his arm wrapped around her protectively.

"Prepare the room and make sure don't wake him up while inserting the needle" he gave instruction to the nurse.

By the time everything was done neither Lucas nor Elena had woke up which was a big relief to them. 

Julian excused paying one glance at both of them and walked out from the room along with Daniel.

"Aunty I think your should to head back home" Daniel knew now that Lucas was next to his wife the slave was not going to wake up soon.

Getting his words Julian too left the hospital so that she could come back in the morning with some healthy food prepared for both of them.

Daniel too left informing his staff to call him if they find any trouble and make sure not to disturb the couple while checking on them.

Thomson Mansion

Samantha walked out from the bathroom wiping her face. It was a tiring day for everyone and now they can finally be at peace.

Keeping the towel aside she climb up the bed and laid next to Ethan who was also resting. Wrapping her arm around his torso she rested her head on his chest.

It was the day when her one sister registered her marriage while her friend went missing all of sudden.

"How did you find them?" she knew Ethan was not sleeping but had just closed his eyes,

He was a light sleeper and she knew he wouldn't fall sleep until she is not next to him.

"It wasn't that hard. I just connected the points and found the clue. We had placed a secret camera inside Lucas suite and had already send our men's secretly"

Ethan had thought Marcus would not do anything to Elena as he only wanted Lucas. But when they saw Elena unconscious then they realized what was Marcus trying to do.

"Why can't every person be a good human. What is the use of having so much vengeance towards each other until you have no one by your side in your hard times"

The news of Marcus death must have made them relief but they can't let go of the relation Lucas and his family had with him.

"If he had surrender himself back then all this wouldn't have happen. Everyone's life would have been beautiful. Aunt Rosie would have been alive, Lucas wouldn't have had such a dark life and uncle Blake.. he would have been the most happiest man in the world" 

Ethan had seen how Blake adore Rosie. Sometime watching Lucas behaving all cheeky towards Elena made him remember about them. They were so much in love that they didn't care to show it openly. It was sometimes Lucas who would ask them to find a room for themselves and walk out shaking his head.

"They would have been a complete family" Samantha had seen how the members in the Thomson family were welcoming and she could tell even Lucas mother must have been the same caring and loving women.

Ethan sighed and propped his head looking at Samantha. They have been discussing about it for a while now totally forgetting about themselves.

Slowly pushing her back on the bed he hovered her caging with his arm around her. 

"Don't you think we have been discussing about everyone except us" Samantha was caught off guard. She thought maybe after some talk they both would rest but now Ethan's action was telling something else.

Samantha pouted and snaked her arms around his neck," What do you want to talk" she asked pushed back his lock.

"Lucas got married and even Daniel and over all that they are even going to become parents. Don't you think we are lagging too behind" 

Now that he think about they both have done their deed yet haven't thought about getting hitched. Ethan had been thinking about it for too long and was waiting for Samantha to get settle down with her new position.

"Then why didn't you propose me yet" Samantha pushed him back on the bed and stood up placing her hands on her waist.

Balancing his lower back up he looked at her in confusion.

"Do you think all of them suddenly got married just like this. There is a procedure to reach towards marriage" she had expected that even Ethan would propose her in some unique way just like Lucas and Daniel did but this snail like brain of his never think beyond hacking.

"Oh.. so you wanted me to propose you" he said casually making her glare at him.

"Yes mister and if you don't prepare a better one then I will not marry you" saying this she turned around and entered the washroom shutting the door loudly.

Ethan blinked at the closed door and sat up on the bed rubbing his chin," Why didn't she told me before, I wouldn't have wasted so much time"

Taking his phone out he made a call to Daniel. He was the only person who could give him some tips
