Dear Contract Wife, You Are Mine

Title: Sick again

Maybelline Walter POV

“How is she now, doc? Is she fine? Does she need surgery?” Miles asked the doctor worriedly while I only stared in shock. I wasn’t even feeling any pain anymore.

“She just needs to apply the ointment I gave her and she’ll be fine. It’s nothing to worry about,” He breathed out after the doctor finished explaining to him.

“Thank you. I’ll call you,” He said to the doctor.

“Take care,” And with that, the doctor left my room and Miles quickly came to sit in front of me.

“Are you ok? Do you need anything? Do you want me to massage your body for you, hmm?” He bombarded me with questions, but I just shook my head.

“I’m fine,” I said to him, and he slowly nodded.

“Hmm…” He nodded.

“I wanted us to go shopping today, but we can do it tomorrow. You should rest for today,” My face beamed with excitement when he said that.

“Shopping? Today?”

“Yes, but…”

“I’m fine, seriously. I’ll go bath and get dressed so we can leave,” I said excitedly as I jumped off the bed.

“You still need to rest, May,” He insisted as he stood up.

“No, I don’t need it. I will join you soon,” I said to him before I dashed into the bathroom. I stretched my neck and body a bit, and they made a cracking sound. I felt much better after I did that.

I stripped out of my clothes and had a long and relaxing bath.

My stomach grumbled as I stepped back into my room. It felt like the hunger came at me with so much fucking speed, forcing me to grimace as I held my stomach.

“Ugh!” I groaned in pain when I felt my stomach hurt. It felt like my intestines were twisting forcefully. That wasn’t all, I felt like my heart was going to cut.

Tears brimmed in my eyes as I managed to go to the bed and sat on it. I’ve been hyper-acidic for a few years now and have been trying to manage it since then. Lily had recommended a series of medications for me which I took, but none seemed to ever do the work.

My hand trembled as I reached for my phone and dialed Miles’s number. Thankfully, he picked up on the first ring.

“Hey! Are you ready so soon? I just got back from the bathroom,” His voice sounded from the other end.

“Miles… Ugh!” I was going to say something when the excruciating pain hit me more, and I yelped painfully.

“May! Are you ok? May? Are you there?” His worried voice sounded from the other end, but I felt out of breath and could do nothing but gasp for it.

The door burst open and Miles barged in with just a towel wrapped around his waist and his body dripping wet. He was still holding his phone to his ear.

“May?” He called surprisingly and rushed to me.

“Are you ok? What’s wrong?” He touched my back and asked worriedly.

“Food… I need food,” I cried out.

“Food? Are you hungry?”

“Just get me something, please,” I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore as I managed to say to him.

“I’ll be back,” And with that, he stood up and dashed out of the room.

Barely five minutes after he left, he rushed back in with a plate of food.

“Here… Do you want me to feed you?” He asked worriedly as he came to sit beside me on the bed.

“No… I’ll be fine,” I managed to say to him. Furthermore, I took the plate of food and began eating. I tried to eat as fast as I could just to ease the pain since it always helps me whenever I’m in pain. I held my breath momentarily as I ate, and when I was done, I drank a glass of water and lay on the bed on my stomach.

“Do you need me to call the doctor?” I heard Miles ask as I closed my eyes, but I just shook my head. I really wanted him to call the doctor so I would be treated as I needed the pain to relieve me fast, but no way he wouldn’t find out about the pregnancy, so I couldn’t take chance.

“I’ll be fine,” I whispered, and he sighed.

“You don’t look like you are going to be. Let me take you to the hospital,” He insisted.

“Just give me a few minutes… I’ll be fine,” I said to him in a low tone.

“I’ll be fine after I get some sleep,” I said to him when he didn’t look like he was going to be convinced.

“Alright… I’ll stay by your side,” He stated as he held my hand.

Slowly, the pain relieved me until I could barely feel any pain anymore. My eyes felt heavy, and I gave in as I slept off.

I was unconscious of how long I’d been sleeping for, but when I opened my eyes, I found Miles staring at me with enthusiasm, his face was laced with a smile. For the next few seconds, I stared back at him. The sparkles in his eyes were one of the things I admired so much about him and I could stare all day long if only I was given an opportunity to.

I could literally hear my heart beating so fast when he slowly leaned close, our face just inches apart. Slowly, I grabbed the duvet and my toes curled subconsciously as I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. The room was in perfect condition, but I felt so hot and suffocated.

I bit my lip when his eyes darted to them and the thought of kissing me made my heart flutter.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Just wait for it, May… Wait for it,” I said to myself as I held onto the duvet tightly and shut my eyes as I awaited his lips touching mine.

“How are you feeling now?” I snapped my eyes open to find him already pulled away from me and I felt waves of disappointment spurred through me.

“Why are you disappointed? Not that you wanted it, anyway. Remember, he is not your type,” I reminded myself and turned my face away.

“Hmm… I’m fine,” I cleared my throat and tried to breathe.

“Miguel said you have hyperacidity and it seems like it has been long,” He spoke up, and I raised my eyebrows confusingly.

“Mi… Miguel?” I stuttered and glanced down at myself after I sat up on the bed. I gasped when I realized I was wearing a robe instead of the towel I was wearing earlier.

“Oh my goodness!” I gasped and shamelessly touched the area between my thighs as my eyes widened.

“I had to wear something for you before I called Miguel in to check on you. I couldn’t have allowed him to see you half-naked,” He shrugged like this was not a big deal.

“Wh… why would you change my clothes? We… we agreed we were not going to have sex during the marriage,” I stuttered as I reminded him, and he scoffed.

“Relax! I didn’t do anything to you. Besides, your body is not bad. It’s cute and sexy,” He whispered the last part and my heart fluttered. I quickly covered myself up with my hands, embarrassed, but a part of me was flushing at the compliment.

“Was just kidding. I didn’t see anything. I had Adelie change your dress,” He said, and I bit my bottom lip, a bit disappointed.

“Why are you disappointed? Are you crazy?” I scolded myself mentally, but still, I couldn’t help it.

“Miguel will be officially resuming work at the hospital next Monday, and he can legally treat patients then. I will have him treat you and see if we can get rid of the acid,” He said to me, and I mouthed an ‘oh’. I had no idea Miguel was a doctor. I’m sure Lily would be glad to hear that.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be fine, ok?” He assured me as he patted my shoulder, and I slowly nodded.

“Hmm,”

“Uhm… What about our shopping? Can we go now?” I asked him, and he shook his head.

“Miguel said you need to rest. We can do that next week on Saturday,” I frowned deeply.

“I’ll leave you to rest. Call me if you need anything,” He uttered and finally walked out of my room, and I breathed out.

“He is so cute,” I found myself gushing, but I quickly dismissed the thought the moment I realized what I was doing.

“He is not your kind of man, May. He is still the same grumpy boss you used to know,” I reminded myself and sighed.

My phone beeped and I checked it.

‘You are so mean! You went offline yesterday when I needed you the most. How dare you!’ I rolled my eyes after I finished reading the text that Lily sent to me.

‘You are not going to reply to me, hmm? I’m breaking up with you. Don’t ever call me your friend again!’ her message popped up again just when I was about to reply to her.

‘Anyway, I’m coming over to your house right away, not because of you but my sweet amazing crush. Don’t act like you know me when I come over’ her message came in again, this time with angry emojis.

‘I have good news for you’ I typed the text and was going to send it to her, but I changed my mind. It’s going to be fun if she finds out about it by herself.

‘Expecting you, bestie. Get me fruits on your way. The baby is hungry’ I texted her and finally dropped my phone back on the bed…
