Love Slave to the Mafia Boss's Passion 18

Finally, We’re Reunited

"You were asleep for almost three days. Hayden had a lot of time to recover," the boss informed me

reassuringly.

"I was out for almost three days?! Really?" I exclaimed in shock.

I thought I just took a nap because I felt so tired. It never occurred to me that I was out for a few days.

What happened during those days when I was just sleeping?

"Yes. Hayden was very worried about you too..." the boss affirmed calmly.

Hayden was worried about me too?

Although it made me extremely happy that he cared for me, I was soon engulfed by a sense of guilt.

This all happened because I was careless and because of that Hayden got hurt, our wedding failed and

so many people had to get involved to rescue me.

"I'm such a burden..." I whispered to myself.

"Maybe you are...but a man is only truly a man when he can take care and be responsible for his

woman. That's a fact," the boss said sternly.

I never thought that one day I would be comforted by the boss himself. Although I wasn’t sure if his

words were aimed at providing me with comfort but that was exactly what it did. His words made me

feel a little better about myself and gave me some more courage to go on.

By that time, we had arrived in front of a door that was undoubtedly Hayden's hospital room. The boss

looked down at me as if to ask if I was ready for this. I nodded my head at him without hesitation.

Ready or not, I wanted to meet Hayden. I wanted to see him so much that I couldn't bear to wait any

longer.

"Hayden, you have a special visitor..." the boss announced without excitement as he wheeled me into

Hayden's room.

The room was too large to be a hospital room and that was all that I noted before my eyes immediately

went to the figure laying on the hospital bed.

"Hayden!" I cried out his name happily.

I wished that the boss would push my wheelchair faster so that I would finally be by Hayden's side.

Hayden was awake and sitting up in bed. He turned towards me and smiled a truly angelic smile at me.

"So, you woke up..." Hayden said before his smiled widened.

"Hayden! How are you? Are you hurt? I was so worried. I begged everyone to let me see you, but they

wouldn't allow it. Thankfully, the boss finally allowed me to see you..." I wailed and then started crying

like an unreasonable baby.

"Stop crying. I'm fine..." Hayden reprimanded me softly but I couldn't sense any real disapproval in his

voice. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

His large hand reached out towards me before he ruffled my hair playfully. That gentle and adoring

gesture only worked to bring even more tears to my eyes. I leaned over to him and hugged him to me

before burying my face against his warm body.

"Hayden's shoulder is still injured..." the boss quickly reminded me.

I stiffened in place before moving away from Hayden at the sudden realization that I could be hurting

him.

“It’s nothing serious. Don’t scare her…” Hayden hissed at the boss as his brows drew into a scowl.

“Well, I’ll leave you two lovebirds to do some catching up. Ring the bell or something when you’re done

so the nurse can help take Malissa back to her room,” the boss said before he headed for the door.

“Thank you…” I whispered my thanks to the boss as I watched him disappear through the door.

After the boss left, we were the only ones in Hayden’s hospital room. Despite my initial excitement to

see him until just now, now that we were alone, I wasn’t sure what I should say to him. So many things

happened, and I didn’t know where to start. My mind and my feelings were a messy jumble, and I didn’t

have the time to sort them out in my haste to make it to his side.

“Hayden…” I whispered his name softly as I turned to face him.

“I told you to get out! Why didn’t you listen to me? You heard me, right? Why didn’t you do as I told

you?!” Hayden yelled at me so loudly that I was stunned into silence.

I…didn’t expect that…at all…

Hayden was so mad. His blue eyes narrowed at me, and his face morphed into a tight scowl. His eyes

were so scary, it was like his glare would pierce through me. My lips quivered in fear, and I didn’t know

what to say. He’s right. I did hear him, but I just couldn’t get out of there and leave him behind. I knew

that I should have listened, but I just couldn’t. In the end, because of my foolishness, I put Hayden in

danger because he had to come for me.

In the end, Hayden…he got shot because of me…

“I…I…this is all my fault. I am so sorry, Hayden!” I cried out before I covered my face with my hands

and started to cry for real.

I wailed and cried loudly into my hands as tears streamed down my face like it would never stop. My

body shook from the impact of my intense sobs as my chest felt so tight that I could hardly breathe.

This is all my fault…

It made sense that Hayden would be mad at me. I was such a fool to expect a heart warming and

loving reunion with him. He got hurt because of me and I didn’t listen to what he wanted me to do at all,

so of course, he’s so mad at me.

“Malissa…” Hayden called my name.

“I’m so sorry, Hayden. It’s all my fault…you can punish me if you want to…” I managed to say in

between my sobs.

I cried so much that my face must look like a mess. Hiding behind my hands was the best option for me

at that moment. I didn’t want Hayden to see my face or how swollen my eyes, nose and lips must be.

My tears continued to flow as the sense of guilt and shame grew inside of me.
