    “Mr. Gibson.”


    To their utmost dismay, when the police came to the hospital, they found out that Melissa was still in a


    “Everything will be alright soon.”


    One of the members of the investigating team tried to give


    strength to Murray in that difficult time. But even after listening to those words of motivation, Murray


    didn’t get up, he just sat there, looking at – Melissa, his wife lying there unconsciously.


    “ording to the information we had received from youst night, we have found some traces of Jacky


    Knight. But for obvious reasons we stillck some strong evidence of his presence here. In order to get


    them, we need your assistance. Hope you will cooperate with us.”


    The policeman exined the whole situation to Murray and tried to reassure him that the investigating


    team working on Melissa’s case was one of the most capable and reliable teams in the country.


    “I beg to differ with you this time.”Almost without thinking, those harsh and stern words came out of


    Murray’s mouth and he turned down the request of assistance to the police instantly. Almost twice he


    was so near to losing Melissa and this time he couldn’t afford to repeat his mistake of leaving her


    alone.


    “Not by any freaking chance, I am going to leave her alone now.” He whispered that to himself.


    The police officer shook his head disappointingly as it wasn’t the time to be emotional but to act


    hurriedly and smartly. But after seeing Melissa’s condition, they found Murray’s actpletely


    reasonable.


    After all, Melissa is his wife and no sane person can leave their wife alone in that sensitive condition,


    rest alone, him.


    “We understand and respect your decision. Wishing a sooner recovery to Ms. Melissa.”


    The policeman mumbled and nodded, then they looked at the unconscious Melissa, and left quietly.


    Early in the morning, Melissa finally got her consciousness back.


    She looked at the familiar ceiling, blinked her eyes twice in reassurance but deep inside she was


    feeling empty. Like something was missing inside her. She frowned at that strange feeling.


    “Melissa.”


    Murray called her name when he felt Melissa’s body squirming and moving away from him. He rubbed


    his eyes while sitting up, and then found that Melissa woke up.


    “You’re awake.” Murray let out a sigh of relief. That time he


    realized that the face before him was tired yet smooth and it was deeply furrowed. Without a dy he


    leaned in, held his breath so as not to let his tears out in front of him.


    He went close to her, inhaled her scent and took Melissa in his arms, “Promise me that you will take


    good care of yourself now.” Melissa stacked everything in her head, still the intent hearing continued.


    Murray was constantly caressing her back. His heavy throat was undeniably giving her the idea of


    events that had happened with her.


    “It seems like I had fainted this time also.” Melissa thought and stumbled in her own world.


    At that moment Murray tightened his hold around her like his whole world was dependent on that


    moment. Meanwhile Melissa was filled with an air offort and triumph, “He was here when I needed


    him.” a voice came from the back of her mind.


    “I’m fine.”


    Melissa finally spoke, then smiled softly and patted Murray on the shoulder.


    “That’s good to hear,” Murray mumbled and a smile came to his face after seeing that curve adorned


    her lips just as easily as breath came to him.


    “It seems like you are very tired.” Melissa shook her head after seeing Murray’s disheveled condition


    and then suddenly she remembered what happened that day.


    “Have you caught him?” She keenly waited for his reply.


    Listening to her, Murray instantly understood the context of her question. A hint of disappointment was


    visible in his eyes and then he said in a slow tone,


    “He ran very fast, and he was well prepared. That’s why he escaped and our people were not able to


    catch him.” Melissa nodded her head in disappointment. As she knew that if Jacky woulde again,


    then he can do anything.


    “Don’t worry! A few hours ago when you were sleeping, a police officer informed me that they found


    some traces but unfortunately they aren’t strong evidence.”


    Murray told her everything to which Melissa raised her eyebrow in anticipation..


    “Then do they need any kind of assistance?”


    Listening to Melissa’s words, Murray remembered how the police officer asked for his help and he


    refused. But Melissa should not know this. He thought so after giving a long thought, he said in a low


    tone, “No.”.


    There was an instant change in the bodynguage of Murray and that hesitation in his voice when he


    didn’t look at him while saying and that was enough for Melissa to guess the actual situation.


    “You have refused to cooperate, didn’t you?”


    Murray was surprised to hear Melissa’s words but didn’t react.


    Meanwhile Melissa knew that Murray was worried about her and he might not be ready to focus on


    anything other than her.


    She was understanding his dilemma but she had worked really hard in the case regarding Jacky Knight


    and now she wasn’t ready to let him go so easily and after what he said to herst night then it was


    kind of impossible for her.


    “You know, it’s not about me alone,” Melissa paused and then continued, “He might have some


    malicious thoughts regarding thepany also, and I will not tolerate if anything will happen to Star


    Entertainment.” Hearing this, Murray knew he couldn’t stop Melissa.


    For now he decided to let it go and not to argue as Melissa was not in her best health. But when he


    didn’t say anything, Melissa took a deep breath and then without a dy sent a message to the police


    officer and agreed to assist them.


    “Do you still want to sleep?”


    Murray cleared his throat and tried to break that awkward silence.


    His eyes were fixed at the moon and the sky outside the window. It was surreal and mesmerizing.


    Melissa nodded, although she was not sleepy as she woke up a few hours ago, but when she saw how


    tired Murray was while taking care of her, she decided to agree andid back on the bed. “By the way,


    you don’t need to worry about anything. Just take some rest.” Melissa mumbled.


    Although it should be Murray to say those words, Melissa took the initiative first. Meanwhile Murray


    understood that Melissa was trying to make him feel good and undoubtedly he also wanted to drag that


    drab worry out of her gleaming emerald orbs.


    “What are you looking at?” She broke the silence and then asked him when she observed his gaze


    fixed at her,” Do you want to say something?”.


    “Nothing except that I can’t stop worrying about you no matter what.” He sincerely spoke those words


    and then he kissed her forehead. Then he leaned to the side and below, not knowing which side, right


    or left, he cared less and slowly whispered in her ears, “And I can’t help it as I love you so much.”


    A smile yed on her lips when she heard that. Again, his lips lingered at her forehead but this time for


    little longer and she closed her eyes subconsciously.


    “I love you too,” She blushed.


    Looking at her crimson red face, Murray had a sense of satisfaction.


    But he instantly moved away andughed, “Now don’t think much, close your eyes and sleep.”


    Melissa slowly closed her eyes, the minutes passed, she still wasn’t able to sleep. Then she decided to


    talk to Murray but the moment she was about to open her eyes, she heard sharp footsteps followed by


    the doctor’s voice.


    “Is Ms. Eugen asleep?”


    It was almost midnight and she was wondering what the doctor was doing in their ward at that hour of


    night.


    That’s when Jacky’s words started echoing in her mind. “Why did he say that I am dying? Was he trying


    to y with my sanity?” She wondered.


    Everything was already making her puzzled and now the doctor’s visit was adding more into it.


    Out of curiosity, Melissa pretended to be asleep and chose not to open her eyes. “Yes, she is.” Murray


    answered him but his eyes were never leaving the sight of his wife. Then he knitted his eyebrows


    together and turned his face towards the doctor and said in a questioning tone, “She will be alright


    soon?” After hearing his words, the doctor cleared his throat with a worried expression, “I can’t promise


    you anything for now. It’s still hard to say.”


    The doctor sighed internal energy, and Melissa’s heart was a little shocked.


    Those words brought a havoc of turmoil in Melissa’s heart. She was more than shocked after listening


    to it. “Hard to say? What does it mean?”


    Lots of questions starteding in her mind to which she probably had no answer except the fact that


    Jacky’s words started making a little sense. Is it my disease…


    “Am I tested with some chronic or life threatening disease.?


    Melissa was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t realize that the doctor walked up to her. She closed


    her eyes but her heart started pounding with the highest speed as she was afraid that they might not


    discover that she was listening to their conversation.


    The next second, the doctor grabbed her arm and started monitoring her vitals, especially her pulse


    rate. Melissa secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If it was really like what Jacky said then why


    didn’t Murray mention that before her and even now also he was willing to hide it from her. “All this time


    I was scared of this only. now my fear is turning into reality and I certainly don’t want that.” The doctor


    said while monitoring her pulse. “What do you mean?” Murray furrowned. “From the pulse, Her pulse is


    dropping. This indicates that Mrs. happen


    Gibson is weaker than before, I’m afraid that something worse will to her if she won’t take a good


    amount of rest.” Hearing this, Melissa started to break down a bit. “No wonder I have started fainting


    more frequently these days. Initially I thought it was because of overworking and for the reason that I


    am not resting properly. But it turned out that I was seriously ill.”


    “How can it be better?”


    “There might be some way. Any special treatment or medicine or anything that can help her to recover.


    Just tell me I can arrange anything for her. Just name it.”


    Murray choked up on his words, he couldn’t believe that someone like Melissa who is always ready for


    any battle is losing the battle of her life. “From the initial stage of treatment, it should have been taken


    care of. In the past year, when the treatment was started you must have not ignored the instructions


    and should have paid attention to the food and rest. In addition, it was your responsibility Mr. Murrayto


    see whether your wife was eating well or not.”


    Judging from the pulse just now, the doctor realized that Melissa had not taken her medicine properly


    these days.


    “If she would have taken her medicine on time then things would not be as bad as they are now.”


    Doctor added further. Murray looked puzzled at his words but then he figured out that


    Melissa was unconscious for the past few days so she wasn’t taking her original medicine, maybe


    that’s the meaning behind the doctor’s words. He hunched his shoulders.


    “Luckily she is in hospital right now and getting the required treatment otherwise her body has already


    given up on her long back.” Doctor informed him.


    Murray thought he knew everything but what he didn’t know was that Melissa wasn’t taking her


    medicines.


    She thought that her illness was not a serious problem and everything was happening due to


    overworking and taking so many medicines everyday, was such a hard task for her.. Every time Murray


    didn’t notice her, she used to throw pills away.


    “In short you must keep one thing in your mind that Mrs. Gibson’s body is weak and now she can’t


    tolerate any excursions. If she will faint again and again, it will have a bad impact on her and one more


    mis carriagae will probably kill her.” Hearing this, Melissa began to stir a little.


    It was because of the miscarriage that she started that treatment and now due to recurrent of these


    health issues, now she was getting tortured by it again. “Now even her life is in danger.” Thinking of


    this, Melissa’s heart trembled.


    Melissa can’t help but feel a pang of heartache at the thought of her unborn child.


    “Well, I’ll take good care of her.” Murray nodded and agreed.


    Soon, the doctor did a full health examination of Melissa and told the nurses that the dressings of her


    wounds should be timely changed to avoid any infection.


    Suddenly, only Melissa and Murray were left in the room.


    Melissa’s breathing was heavy, and the doctor’s words kept echoing in her head. Perhaps due to


    physical and mental exhaustion, Melissa soon felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep…
