The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 35
Veronica-I wasn’t sure how I felt after leaving therapy, but I did feel as if a lot of pressure was taken off me. We had agreed upon my returning a couple of times a week to start. It had been odd talking about my childhood.When I reached Andrew’s hospital room, he and Lyrek were just getting back. Lyrek was helping my brother onto the bed. I didn’t say anything as I entered the room, just stood by the door and watched their interaction.“Do you really think it is possible?” Andrew was asking Lyrek.“I will know more soon. The call I received was good news, which is why I am going to check it out. When I return, we will know more.” Lyrek responded.Curiosity got the better of me, so I spoke up. “What is going on?”Andrew’s eyes shot to me, and Lyrek quickly turned around. The looks on their faces made me smile. It almost looked as if they were caught doing something they shouldn’t have.“I received a call from a colleague from California. There is another patient with scans similar

Lyrek-I was half tempted to tell my grandfather that we would have dinner another night. The moment I saw Veronica in the dress, I wanted to take her out on the town and show her off. Afterward, I wanted to take her home and admire the body under the dress.After picking up my grandfather, we went to the restaurant, where I was having a challenging time taking my eyes off my wife. I caught a few other men checking her out and it took a lot of effort not to cause a scene. Over and over again I had to remind myself that I was still trying to win her over, so I couldn’t lose my cool.Thankfully, she didn’t seem to notice the ogling eyes on her. If anything, she seemed completely oblivious to everyone around us. Her focus remained on my grandfather, who was in turn watching her carefully.There was a lot of tension in the air, but I wasn’t sure why. Perhaps it was because Veronica was nervous, which I noticed the moment I said we were having dinner with him tonight. As far as I knew the

Veronica-Waking up next to Lyrek, I instantly felt sick to my stomach. Turning onto my side, I looked at his sleeping form. I wasn’t sure what time he came into the room last night, but I knew it was late because I had already been asleep.It was still hard to believe he was leaving today. I knew he was going to return in a couple of days, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. He has become a constant part of my life lately and I hated the thought of him being clear across the country.At least right at this moment, he was sleeping soundly, which meant I didn’t have to part with him just yet. My emotions and mental state were a wreck with everything that has been happening the past few days. It didn’t help that he would be waking up soon to get ready to get on a flight.I wanted to tell him how I felt, but I honestly didn’t know anymore. There was a part of me that felt that my feelings for him were nothing more than gratitude. After my therapy appointment, I have only become more conf

Veronica-“Let me get this straight, he told you that he loved you, but you didn’t say it back?” Dr. Hendrix asked after I explained everything that had happened.“It isn’t that I didn’t want to tell him. If I told him now, I wouldn’t know if it was out of obligation or if it was truly how I am feeling. Don’t get me wrong, I have a lot of strong feelings for him. He is saving my brother’s life and he saved mine, but how do I know for sure that I do love him?”After seeing Lyrek off at the airport, I returned to the hospital because Dr. Hendrix agreed to meet with me. I felt like seeing her was the best thing I could do at that moment. Right now, I was beginning to wonder what was going on in my head that I automatically thought about talking to a therapist about this.“That is going to be up to you to decide. I can’t tell you what to feel, only help you figure out a way to understand what it is that you are feeling. Even then I can’t guarantee results.” I wanted to scream in frustrat

Lyrek-I wanted to rush home as soon as I got out of surgery. My entire body was buzzing with exhilaration. For the first time since I started Andrew’s case, I finally had a solid breakthrough.Not just hope or feel like there was a shot at saving him, but an absolute belief. The patient we just operated on had nearly the same kind of tumor that Andrew had, except Andrew’s was more progressed. Although the surgery had been intense and there had been a few touch-and-go moments, I now knew what I needed to do to remove it.It has been years that I have felt like this on a case. After I manage to save my wife’s brother, I want to take on more cases that seemed like a lost cause. It has been a long time since I have challenged myself like this, to this degree.Since I couldn’t head home after surgery, I caught the first flight out the following morning. It has been a few days since I was home, and I couldn’t wait to tell Veronica the good news. We haven’t had much of a chance to talk sinc

Veronica-I didn’t have the words to express how I was feeling at hearing his words, instead, I raised up to press my lips against his. It was in this moment I felt like I could tell him that I loved him, but I knew that I needed to organize my feelings first. I felt an immense amount of gratitude towards him, which meant I could be mistaking my feeling for that and not love.When he turned my body and pressed me against the wall, I had this urge to stop him, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so. It might be wrong that I was allowing this to happen, without knowing for sure what I felt. The last thing I wanted to do was lead him on.His lips against mine felt like a touch of heaven. Everything inside of me was coming alive as his hands moved to my hips and he pressed his body against mine. Was it wrong that I felt so much pleasure like this?Not wanting to think about anything, other than how he made my body feel, I cleared my thoughts of my heart’s desires. Wanting to feel his body n

Veronica-“Do I truly get the surgery?” Andrew asked with tears in his eyes.As I promised my brother, I returned to the hospital the following morning. Lyrek had already left to go to the hospital before I woke up. He left me a note saying he wanted to make sure everything was still a go for the surgery.I waited until Lyrek came to the room with Andrew and me because I had wanted him to explain in better detail. The wait had been gruesome, but I managed to keep it to myself until he arrived. What I hadn’t expected though, was for Andrew to become so emotional.“You are going to need to get one more dose of chemo and two more high dosages of radiation, but as long as your stats remain within the limits, we can begin operating a week from today.” Lyrek smiled at Andrew, his hand resting on his head.I could see in the way he was looking at my brother, that he genuinely cared for him. My heart fluttered at the sight of the two of them. Admittedly I did feel a little jealous that Andrew

Lyrek-Out of all the questions I could have been asked by a ten-year-old, that wasn’t one I anticipated. Taken aback by his question, I couldn’t bring myself to speak. My entire existence wanted to scream yes, but my mouth wouldn’t work.When I imagined my life with them, I hadn’t thought about becoming his father. Although at this current moment I couldn’t speak, I knew my answer. Gathering him into a hug, I slowly found my voice once more.“It would be my greatest honor.” I told Andrew, my voice cracking just a little.His arms came around me as he released a sound of delight, which sounded much like a chipmunk rather than a small child. We hugged each other for a while until he pulled away once again filled with energy. Focusing on our food, we had to remind Andrew to slow down a few times.“I want to see the penguins, Dad.” Andrew announced after he finished his food and stood up.With a chuckle, I rubbed the top of his head. “Then let’s go see the penguins.”Since they weren’t f
