Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 191

Their support for Bright was gladdening, making my heart sing. I was busy admiring their glee when he held me closer all of a sudden and spoke softly.

"You have done so much for me during my sickness, Laura. I just wish to show my respect for your care.

You have introduced me to the new reality of life"

Feeling nervous, I looked around, my kids' eyes fixed on us flushed my face. I asked Bright to step away, but he remained ignorant, continuing with his statement.

"It's not the first time that I got injured and fell sick, spending that period alone in bed was my life.

But you!

You didn't treat me like that, Laura. You took care of me day and night, making me aware of how it feels to be cherished …”

From childhood, Bright was raised by a nanny, but when she quitted her job, he was on his own. The care of servants couldn't match the affection of a close family member.

No relationship was able to decrease the pain; however, moral support was essential for our emotional health, there was a reason people used to become patients due to depression.

Bright's gentle words of appreciation hit my heart as he kissed my forehead and encouraged Jane and Zoe.

"See, kids!

Looking after each other is the most important thing in a family. You must follow your mom's footsteps; she's an ideal woman!”

He sent me to my room for rest, preparing a feast with little chefs. I took a deep breath while cleaning the wet corners of my eyes.

"Indeed, I am so lucky to have you in my life, Bright"

Thanking heaven for blessing me, I laid down on my bed, hugging a pillow to my chest. My head was full of rainbows of Bright's love. He had recovered and the issue of the stock market was also resolved, my life was again back on track after a bumpy ride.

There was only one hurdle left until our happily ever after: Bright's political engagement. I scrolled my contacts in my cell phone and stared at Sienna's phone number. She had given me her visiting card that day.

"Got it, Laura!”

"Yeah, fine!” I responded to him, slumping in the bed again. But a random thought popped up in my mind, jolting me up. I slapped my forehead for my forgetfulness.

"It must be the delivery boy. My parcel is here!”

Because of my tough schedule, I had ordered clothes online, so the thrill to see my new dresses lifted my spirit as I walked out happily.

"Wait for me, Bright. I will sign the package!”

The pin-drop silence in the living room was unusual as the delivery boy outside should be talking to Bright, but they both were silent, hinting towards another possibility. I saw my fiancé standing like a frozen popsicle as I swiftly reached the door.

"What happened? Why are you …”

The rest of my words died down in my mouth as my gaze fell on the visitors, quaking the ground below my feet …
