Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

At night, Dean had finished undergoing surgery and had been transferred to the ward to be precise in the VVIP room. He was still unconscious because he was still under the influence of drugs. Injury to the head and injuries to several parts of the body can be quite severe.

Bryana sat silently on a white chair right next to Dean's bed. She stared at her husband, who usually looks manly, now looks so weak with his head bandaged, hands connected to an IV, and still attached to the oxygen tube in his nose.

only the sound of the monitor sounded Dean's heartbeat echoing in the room painted yellowish-white walls with sofa facilities complete with table, cupboard, bathroom, and table complete with dining equipment.

"Honey, wake up ...I miss your sweet smile, " Bryana exclaimed as she held Dean's right hand, then kissed it.

Dean was still sleeping with his breath that looked calm. At least it made Bryana feel relieved that things were getting better.

Bryana looked up at the open door. She saw Lily enter the room together with Monica. They walked over to her carrying a blue bag and paper bag.

"Bryana, I brought you food and clothes earlier, Mommy went to your house to see the condition of the kids," said Lily as she put a medium-sized bag and paper bag filled with food on the table near the sofa.

"Did you tell the kids?" Bryana asked.

"Yes, they should know and pray for their father," said Lily, then walked over to Dean from the left side while Monica was beside Bryana. "After all, he's finished the operation, he will wake up soon and recover."

Bryana nodded understandingly and agreed with her mother-in-law's opinion. "If you don't mind, you with them tonight. Bring them here tomorrow so they can see how Dean is."

"Isn't it better for you to go home, you need rest? Remember that you are pregnant." Lily reminded.

Bryana paused, looking back at Dean who was still unconscious. "It's okay, mom. I'll take care of Dean. I want to tell our happy news after he regains consciousness."

"Okay then, mom will stay at your house tonight," said Lily trying to understand Bryana's feelings.

Monica, who had been accompanying Bryana, glanced at her watch, which showed the time at 07:15 p.m. she was even still wearing work clothes and had not yet had time to return to the office.

"Bryana, I have to go home. I have to do Dean's assignments at home because there were documents that I still left at the office. I have to get it first."Monica said huffily because she wanted to stay with Bryana too.

"Monica, the office is not safe because the culprit who hurt Dean has not been caught, you better go back to the apartment. Work problems, you solve it tomorrow," Bryana exclaimed.

"Okay then, I'm going home now," Monica said with a smile tapping Bryana's shoulder and said again, "don't be sad anymore. I'm sure, he'll wake up soon."

"Thank you for always strengthen me. Be careful on the road," Bryana shouted, smiling warmly at Monica.

Monica nodded and said goodbye to Lily too. After that, she walked out of the room and went out of the hospital down a corridor that looked deserted because there was a row of wards with VVIP capacities.

while walking down the hospital corridor, Monica runs into Kareen. She immediately stopped and grabbed her cousin's hand.

"Monica, I just want to see Dean, not flirt!" Kareen emphasized that every time she would approach Dean, Monica would always be her hindrance.

"Is that right? But Bryana is sad. Your arrival will only make her sadder because you always try to snatch Dean from her, then date Raymond without a foundation of love!" Monica confirmed. She could no longer be nice to Kareen if it wasn't for work.

"Who cares if she's sad or not? I don't care because I want to see Dean who gets hurt for being Bryana's husband!" Kareen threw her hand away until Monica let go of her grip. She immediately left Monica without waiting for her response.

"You crazy! Why doesn't Raymond realize that his lover is a crazy girl who will even snatch his husband from his sister?" Monica shook her head in surprise. remembering Raymond insisting on a relationship with Kareen seemed to make her feel sad again. She walked back out of the hospital with the shadow of her short love story with Raymond.

Flashback.

Monica is sitting in a restaurant with Raymond while enjoying a cup of her favorite coffee111 latte. They were mutually silent, occasionally looking at each other with meaningful gazes

"Monica," Raymond called.

"Yes," Monica said.

"I'm serious with my words. I want you to marry me, replace Elsa's position who canceled being a bride for me," said Raymond with a flat gaze.

Hearing Raymond's words seemed to make Monica lose her heart. 'I do like you. But if I become your wife just because as a substitute for your future wife who ran off with Alex, I can't. I don't want to have you without your love,' she thought.

"Monica, you want, right? please help me, I don't want to embarrass my family because my marriage will fail while the invitations are already scattered."Raymond looked pleading, then took out a piece of paper from his unbuttoned blue tuxedo pocket."This is a check with a nominal amount large enough for you. take it and marry me."

Monica stared at the slip of paper. Her heart seemed to be hurting even more because Raymond was going to pay for it instead. That meant he thought of her as a girl who liked to do things for money. She grabbed the paper and tore it into pieces, then put it on the ashtray provided on the table.

"I don't need your money because I can get my own money from my work, because your sister already paid me quite a lot," Monica said firmly.

Raymond sighed. "Fine, but you are willing to marry me, right?"

"Marriage is a sacred and holy thing. I don't want to mess with marriage and I want to get married just once in my life So, I can't marry you just to replace your bride," Monica explained with all the pain that ravaged her heart. She wanted to be Raymond's life partner, but this was not the way she wanted to be.

"What if I like you, want to marry you once in my life? Will you accept me?" asked Raymond with an investigating gaze. Monica's words seemed to make him understand that Monica had a taste for him.

Monica smiled wryly and shook her head. "Yes, maybe I can accept you. But I know that there is no way you can love me because you just left Elsa. Maybe you will just make me an outlet. I can't, I really can't marry you!"

Monica immediately got up from the chair and walked toward the restaurant. She left Raymond silent with annoyance at her refusal.

Since that night, Monica and Raymond's relationship, which had been somewhat close, has strained. even Raymond's marriage completely failed because Alex took Elsa to go abroad to marry after taking a quarter of Bryana's wealth.. At that time, Bryana was injured and lost the fetus due to Alex's actions.
