The Billionaire's Nurse

Predicament

Lucas's POV:

I was wheeled into the mansion as I groaned in annoyance.

I can't believe I'm going into my own house with a wheelchair.

My life has turned upside down.

How will I even bear this in the first place???

Getting married in a wheelchair?

Isn't that the worst thing to happen to a person?

Just yesterday,,,,, I was healthy.

I was hale and hearty and all of a sudden I became a liability,,,, a crippled.

I could remember vividly that Thursday afternoon when my friend and I were going to meet the event planner.

Furthermore, I drove off and then this accident happened.

Am now a man in a wheelchair....

What kind of woman will accept me again after all this?

I picked up my cell phone and dialed Bernadette's number.

It rang and rang, but there was no response.

She wasn't picking her call up.

I continued calling and luckily she picked it up.

"Hey babes....." I said with a cheerful voice.

She's the only reason why I choose to live again.

"What is it Lucas?" Her cold voice struck me hard.

"I just got home" I replied.

"You mean wheeled home?" She said with a sarcastic voice.

"Bernadette???" I scoffed.

"Lucas I'll be there soon" She said as smiles escaped my lips.

"Please do" I said eagerly as she hung up.

I dropped the phone on the table as I looked around.

****************

"So Lucas I think you really need a nurse to take care of you" Mom said as I gasped.

"Nurse? What for mom? I mean Bernadette is here for me all the time" I smiled holding her hand and she forced a smile.

"Are you sure it's ok with your Berna?" My mom asked her.

"Of course mom... Lucas is my responsibility" She said as my heart gladdened.

Isn't Bernadette such a lovely person?

She's standing by me no matter the situation...

Mom smiled before she walked out of the house.

I held Bernadette's hand, and she quickly snatched her hand from me........

My mom was already gone so she flared up.

"What the hell was that for Lucas?" she asked in annoyance.

"What do you mean Bernadette?" I asked anxiously.

"Why would you suggest something like that? So I should stay locked up here all night because you are now disabled?" she said the most painful words to me.

"Bernadette??" Was all I could say.

"What? Listen carefully to me Lucas please don't turn me into your slave" She cried out.

"I know Berna, but I also want you to know that soon enough then I will start walking again" I smiled.

"Oh please keep your sermons to yourself and Lucas please I really want you to cancel the wedding tomorrow" She said as I gasped.

"What?" I freaked out.

"You heard me.... I want you to cancel the wedding because it won't happen" Bernadette replied turning her face away.

"But why? We already informed the priest" I said.

"TCH.... Lucas what the hell are you talking about? How would you wed with me? In a wheelchair Lucas? Maybe that will continue when you start walking" She said.

"But Berna you know I can't wait for us to get married" I breathed heavily.

"Lucas quit the drama..... I need some time to put myself together" She cried out.

"Fine.... Anything for you" I said as I hugged her while she disengaged the hug.

"This is not the time for this Lucas.... Just go ahead and inform the priest of the wedding cancelation" She said as she got up to walk upstairs.

"Baby am really famished... Would you mind preparing something?" I asked politely.

"You really need a nurse Lucas" She snapped.

"Babe just please...." I pleaded as she rolled her eyes before heading to the kitchen.

Why the hell is she talking to me in such a manner?

The Bernadette I was going to get married to will never raise a voice at me.

So what the hell happened?

I buried my head on my palms.

I feel so useless....

Bernadette's POV:

I stormed into the kitchen in so much anger.

Anger engulfed me as I banged my hand on the slab.

"Dammit......" I cursed under my breath as I looked at my already fixed nails.

I can't believe I have to ruin in my nails just to prepare food for this crippled.

Furthermore, I need to get myself out of this mess....

Likewise, I can't take it!

Getting married to a handicapped all in the name of love.

"There is no way I'm ruining in my nails" I gritted my teeth.

***********

I placed the covered plates on the dinning table.

I walked straight to the sitting room where Lucas was watching television.

"I don't blame him... Sending me to cook while he watches television" I thought within myself.

"Food is ready..." I said as I pushed him with the wheelchair to the dinning table.

"Thank you sweetheart" He said as I nodded.

I sat on the other chair with my legs crossed.

I picked up the remote control to change the channel of the television.

Lucas's POV:

She helped me get to the dinning table.

Bernadette is such a darling... Isn't she?

I said some silent prayers as she quickly opened the plate and gasped.

Popcorn for lunch?

My eyes popped up in shock......

TBC......
