Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

**

A bell rang in George’s head.

“You…. you lost her?????”!!!!!”

“Doc!”a nurse called.

“She’s… she’s moving!”

“Moving?, are you sure???”the doctor asked following the nurse back to the room.

Hm?.

George felt a light happiness in himself.

She’s… she’s moving.

“She’s moving guys!, she is!”he announced and went after the doctor.

Huh?.

Both the women followed suit.

This time around, they were allowed to enter the room, no, the nurses were to busy to try restricting them from entering the room.

The nurse moved around, getting necessary things for the doctor.

George slowly moved to her and see many pipes were attached to her nose and mouth.

Now, her face was really pale.

She was really fighting with death!.

He took her hand gently in his.

“Janelle”he called lowly in a sob.

“Please, come back. I miss you. I’m sorry for all those time I have acted as a jerk. I’m…”he stopped to wipe his tears away.

He sniffed. “don’t give in to the cruel death. Don’t. Don’t allow it to take you away from me”

His tear dropped on her hand.

“Her breathing is stable!”a nurse announced.

George smiled and rubbed her hand.

“You can do it, Janelle. You can. You can survive. Survive so you can shout at me, get revenge on me..”

“Doctor!!!!!!. She’s opened her eyes!!!, oh my God!!”

“Mama mercy!!”

“You will have to excuse us now. We have to do our work”the doctor said to George.

He slowly stood up and walked out with the women.

The door was closed again.

They both stood, not muttering a word to one another.

They were praying within them that she should be fine.

They waited for several minutes before the doctor finally stepped out with a big smile.

“Tell me she’s fine”George rushed to him.

“Well, she is. We thank God. Congratulations!”

George busted into tears of joy.

“Can we go see her?”George’s mom asked.

“Sure.”the doctor gave a nod.

“But, you will have to be careful. Don’t do anything that will disturb her as she needs alot of sleep right now. Mr George, please, see me”

George looked back at the door before following him.

They got to his office and after closing the door, the doctor went to take his seat and offered George a one also.

George sat down and looked at him.

“So, you requested my presence”

“Yes, of course”the doctor said and clamps his hands together then placed it on the table.

“Are you aware that your wife was poisoned?”the doc asked.

George leaned out of his chair and arched his brows.

“Poison?”he asked, dumbstruck.

“Yeah”the doctor replied.

“I… I ..”he paused.

“We went to a party and then we were on the dance floor when she started coughing….. poison?”

“Did she eat or drink anything before you guys moved on to the dancing floor?, like, what’s the last thing she ate.”

“Drink. She drank a wine”

“Well, Mr McFarland, that wine must’ve have been poisoned. We should thank God she survived it. The poison is a deadly one, really. We should thank God.”

..

As George walked back to the ward, the doctor last statement keep repeating its self in his mind.

Poisoned?.

But…. how come?

The wine she drank was poisoned?.

He stood in front of the room lost in his thoughts.

He could see both his and her mom inside with her.

He stood for some minutes, looking at them.

So, she was poisoned.

The question now is who poisoned her?.

George let’s out a scoff.

Who could have poisoned her?.

Janelle’s mom looked at his direction and seeing him, he tapped his mom and they both moved out.

“What did the doctor say?”his mom asked when they got to him.

He was brought out of his reverie.

He looked up at them.

“Hun?”

“God, George. What did the doctor says?”

“Well….”

Well, does he really have to tell them?.

Plus, he feels guilty for what happened to her.

She clearly says she doesn’t wanna go to the party and just…. just if… just if she didn’t go, she would be perfectly fine now.

They have the right to know what happens but he isn’t gonna tell them now… he will do after catching the culprit.

He looked away from them and looked at Janelle in the room.

“How is she?”

“Fine, at least, better than ever”

“I will go see her”he says.

“Yeah, you really should. When you come back, you will tell us what the doctor said to you”

George gave a nod and moved inside.

He closed the door behind him gently, not wanting to wake her up cause she is clearly sleeping.

He moved stealthily to her and sat down on the chair placed beside the bed.

He sighed.

“Yeah, sleep. You really need it”

“I’m awake”Jan says and opened her eyes.

George blinked and gave a small smile.

“How are you then?, you feeling fine?”

“What did the doctor said?. Your mom told me you went yo see him”

“Well, nothing out of the ordinary”

Janelle turned to look at him then scoffed.

“Tell me the truth. I have the right to know”

George gulped down as her eyes bored into his.

And…. slowly, his mouth moved in a….

“You were poisoned”

Janelle looked away from him. She doesn’t seems surprise.

“Just like I’d imagined”she sighed.

He took her hand in his and fondled with it.

“George”she suddenly called.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He looked up at her.

“The wine I drank, did you… did you….”she blinked her lashes fastly.

“No, what I’m I saying?….”she sighed, slipping her hand out of his grip.

George looked at his empty hand, suddenly feeling hurt.

He scoffed and stared at her.

“Did I poison it?”he completed.
