Chapter 606 [Bonus chapter] Compensation for Making Her Cry
Day Sixty-Eight…
~~*****~~
When Abigail was done venting out, she immediately hugged Dave. All the negative emotions, that consumed her a while ago, disappeared in an instant. They were replaced by profound joy. The most important thing was Dave being alive. Nothing bad happened to him.
"You bad guy! You have to take responsibility. I almost had a heart attack. I felt like dying in sadness. You fool. Don't ever do that again."
Dave could only smile sheepishly as he bobbed his head obediently. "I'm sorry, my Love. Forgive me. I couldn't prepare the grandest proposal. I was in a hurry to propose. I couldn't bring you in a fancy restaurant, and light fireworks for you while asking for your hand. But I can only offer my life and my loyalty. Without you in my life would mean death to me."
"I want to relay this message to you., showing you my sincerity. I'm so sorry. But can you please give me your answer now? My heart is beating so fast from too much nervousness and anticipation." Dave asked her again for her response.
Abigail gazed at him intently. With eyes filled with love, she answered him "Yes. I will marry you. I am willing to spend my whole life with you. I want to build our own family and live happily with you, having our three little children. And we will grow old together, watching and raising them."
Dave rejoiced when she finally said yes. He took her ring finger and put the ring. After that, he cupped her face, giving her a passionate kiss. As they kissed, Abigail's tears fell from the corners of her eyes. This time those droplets of tears were a sign of joy.
When they broke the kiss, Abigail anchored her arms around his shoulders and embraced him.
"I don't need fireworks, fancy restaurant, or any glamourous proposal… All I need is you, Dave."
Dave's heart fluttered. He was touched by her words. "I love you so much, Sweety… My one and only love." He tightened his embrace.
They stayed hugging for several minutes. When they got tired, the two of them sat down on the edge of his sick bed.
"I didn't expect that you used the doctor and nurses to be your accomplice. I really got scared." Abigail punched his chest once again. No wonder, there was a hint of guilt in the doctor's eyes. It's not because they failed to save Dave. The doctor was sorry for her for deceiving her.
Dave just let out a soft chuckle. "Actually, not only them. Hanabi and your father knew about this. I asked their help."
Abigail gasped in surprise when she heard that. "Hanabi and my father?! You tricked me. The three of you. What if I have a weak heart? I might have collapsed even before you could propose to me."
Dave engulfed her in his arms again, placing his face on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Sweety."
'It's my fault for listening to Hanabi's advice. It was her savage idea.' Dave added to his thoughts, not saying it out loud.
"So my father also knew about your marriage proposal today?" Abigail asked him with an amused look in her eyes.
Dave nodded once again. "I asked his permission first. I told him that I wanted to marry you sooner. He gave me his approval. Since I got your father's go signal, I could no longer wait to propose to you."
Abigail's giggle bubbled up inside the ward when she heard that. "I bet my sister will be shocked once she returns here. I will make her my maid of honor for our wedding day!"
"I was supposed to ask Jane's approval too. It's a shame she's not here. I can't contact her." Dave heaved a deep sigh.
Abigail patted his back. "Don't worry. I know my sister. She likes you to be her brother-in-law. She is always rooting for you. I can feel it." She reassured Dave.
"Abi… Let's go somewhere. I already got my doctor's permission to leave the hospital today. I want to spend quality time with you alone." Dave stood up.
"Oh, Your clothes. I left them in the car." Abigail was about to leave but Dave stopped her.
"Hey. I'm just going to get your clothes. You can't leave the hospital just wearing a patient gown." Abigail giggled because Dave was acting so clingy today.
"I have my spare clothes. Mr. Kazuki brought them this morning. He said they were gifts from your father." Dave felt so grateful to Mr. Hiroshi. The old man was supporting their relationship.
"Hmm. Okay. You can let go of my hand now. I will be waiting here. Go and change your clothes now." Abigail lightly pushed him. However, Dave didn't release her hand. Instead, he dragged her toward the bathroom of his ward. Mr. Hiroshi was also the one who shouldered the hospital bill and transferred Dave to a private ward. Mr. Hiroshi was already treating Dave as his son-in-law.
"Hey… do you still need my help to put on your clothes?" Abigail teased him.
Dave just chuckled and bobbed his head. "Yes… because I miss you so much. You've been out of my sight for several hours."
Abigail could only giggle as she followed him obediently. Upon entering the bathroom, Dave immediately closed the door and trapped Abigail in between the wall and his body.
Abigail's cheeks reddened instantly at the thought of Dave doing some naughty things inside that bathroom. "Hey, what are you trying to do, Mr. Dave Falcon?"
"Since I made you cry a while ago. I want to compensate you first." Dave softly mumbled, giving her a mischievous smile.
Abigail raised her eyebrow and said, "And how are you going to compensate me?"
Dave leaned closer and whispered to her ear sensually, "By pleasing you through this." After saying that, Dave kissed and licked her earlobe. The touch of his lips and tongue touching the sensitive part of her ear gave her a tingling sensation, spreading throughout her body. His simple action awakened Abigail's flame of desire. She liked it.
"Hmm. If you insist then… I will not refuse this compensation." Her eyes sparkled in delight but her face blushed.
