"Hayden’s wife...?" Amelia said with clear shock on her face.
Yeah. I guess many things happened while she was asleep. It must have been a shock to her to wake up to find that Hayden had married me, and I was still standing in my wedding dress as if to prove that that was in fact true.
"Come..." Hayden whispered to as he led me by the hand towards Amelia.
Suddenly, I felt extremely shy. Her eyes widened as she stared up into my face.
"This is Malissa. We got married recently," Hayden introduced me again.
"You look like a little princess...congratulations...both of you..." Amelia said after a while of staring at me in silence.
"I’m sorry about this but we need to transport her to the hospital now. The ambulance is here and ready for her," the doctor said with an apologetic smile.
Oh, right. She just regained consciousness so she should go to the hospital. I turned to Harvey and saw him smiling at me.
"I’ll go with her. We’ll be ok...Thank you..." Harvey told us reassuringly.
"You owe me a huge ass one..." Hayden said with a smile.
I could somehow tell that he wasn’t just teasing his brother when he said that. After saying our temporary farewells to Amelia, Hayden led me out of the room.
"Wow...she really woke up..." I mumbled to myself, still finding it hard to believe it.
"Yes, she did. Seems like our luck hasn’t completely run out after all..." Hayden replied with a chuckle.
Hayden took my hand and carefully led me back to the car.
People say that there are moments that would change the course of your life forever. Back then, as I watched Harvey and Amelia embracing each other, I never imagined how much their reunion would change the direction of my life with Hayden.
...
I smiled happily. It was the right choice to get these flowers for her. Amelia looked much happier than before. Her main source of happiness was probably Harvey and not the flowers that I had just given her, though.
After sharing some small talk for a while, Amelia got tired and fell asleep. That was when Harvey confessed to us that it would take her some time to fully recover. There were some lasting effects on the body caused by her condition that would take some time to stabilize.
"But she’ll be alright, right?" I asked with worry.
"Yes, she should be fine according to the doctors," Harvey replied reassuringly.
I heaved a sigh of relief at his words. She had finally woken up so it would be so sad if anything were to happen to her.
Now that Amelia had fallen asleep, the conversation started to take a serious turn. I sat down on the sofa and watched the two brothers as they stood next to each other.
"The hardest part is here, unfortunately..." Harvey said with a sigh.
"The hardest part?" I asked, not quite sure what he is referring to.
"Telling our dad that his favorite son never died in the first place..." Hayden replied with an unsympathetic laugh.
Oh, right. Now that Amelia has woken up, Harvey can come back to life too. However, how are these two going to break the news to the boss?
The bigger question was, what is going to happen to the gang now that Harvey is back?
Harvey did not seem at all hesitant about what he needed to do. He turned and placed a hand on Hayden’s shoulder before he smiled confidently. At that moment, I couldn’t tell who had a cockier smile, Hayden or Harvey.
"Let’s go talk to him together. I’ll handle it," Harvey said with confidence.
"Yeah, you better..." Hayden muttered before he pulled Harvey’s hand away from his shoulder.
The two stared into each other’s eyes while I wonder what they had just communicated that could not be expressed in words.
