The Arranged Bride
Chapter - 28
Sophia's POV
Char was sitting beside me rubbing my back to soothe the pain but it was hurting so much.
I don't know for how long I was sitting outside the emergency room with my head on my hands when I heard Nick's voice. I raised my head to see him speaking to Leo. He didn't look at me and seemed so lost. I knew he was worried sick about Ethan.
After a few more minutes Mama, Papa and Erica came. I told Mama and Papa about what I saw. Narrating the incident was so freaking painful that fresh tears started rolling down my cheeks. Caleb came and stood beside Nick but he didn't speak.
Even after an hour , Nick didn't speak and I was starting to get worried. He wasn't showing any emotion and that was scaring me. So I got up to talk to him.
" Nick." I called but he didn't respond and only clenched his jaw .
" Nick." I called again and put a hand on his shoulder . He rudely shoved away my hand.
" Nick , atleast talk to me." I tried again.
" Talk to you ? What do you want to talk about? Ethan is there in the emergency unit and you want to talk ?" He snapped at me and I was really taken aback by his tone but I knew he was upset over the situation.
" Nick, don't." I heard Caleb warning Nick as if to not loose control.
" Nick calm down." I was being patient to him but this seemed to make him even angrier.
" Calm down? How the hell am I supposed to calm down ? My son is there fighting for his life. The doctors can't assure me of his state and you're asking me to bloody calm down? You wanted to talk right ? Let's do it. How about you tell me why you chose to speak privately to another guy when you were supposed to be with Ethan ? You were the one who took him to park , you only said that you can look after him , then why were you not there?" Was he blaming me? I left to speak to Brandon but I had made sure that Leo was there. I didn't.....
" Nick , just stop it now." Papa scolded Nick but it seemed more of a desperate plea.
" I should have known better than to trust you with my son." It felt like my heart was pricked with something too sharp. I looked at Nick to make sure that he said those words. When I saw a bit of guilt in his face , I knew it wasn't my imagination. He said it. I opened my mouth a few times only to
close it because words refused to come out. I felt so defeated. Nodding my head I walked away and stood at a distance from everyone. I needed some time to myself.
His words kept on ringing in my ears.
