The Surgeon And His Bossy Bride

Chapter 13:Apologies

I kept on walking from one end of the room to the other doing nothing, yet, I did not want to let go just like that. The fact that Norman was even involved in this whole s**t made it possible for me to think right now. Like seriously, I've got more than a million things running through my head and it is kind of aching, the worst case in that things aren't even working the way I want them to.

"Are you alright?" I heard a deep voice asked behind me.

Before swirling around, I knew who it was, but then, I turned around anyway, that is the most important thing to do right now. Heaving a gentle with from my chest, I just tilted my head to the direction where the noise was coming from, and like seriously, I was not hurt when I saw that it was Nathan.

Well, as usual, he was cute, that is a compliment that has always been reserved for him, and seriously, he seems to like it too because there is no better version of him than the one today, and that is obvious.

"What do you want?" I questioned, sounding more arrogantly.

There is no doubt that I was quite angry, but then, directing my anger towards him was crossing boundaries now, even if I knew that, there is practically nothing I can do. Well, that is the sad part of just being too secretly weak.

For a moment, Nathan's face was a cold mask of pain, it is obvious that such things had to happen, but then, being not able to do anything is quite alarming.

"Nothing, I just came here to check on you, Daisy, and truth be told, I feel bad for what is happening in your life right now, like seriously, even though I lack the words to express it to you, I can assure you that dad feels the same way too, but you know, his ego would never let him demand for apologies first. That might not happen," Nathan spat out sincerely.

He walked further to me and took a seat that was close to me. Well, since I wasn't going to talk to him, I was just focused on nothing at all. As my mind was on Nathan's face, I felt for a moment that he was being totally sincere, thus, I walked towards the bench and sat beside him. At least, this is enough to make myself feel comfortable, and so far, I loved everything I am seeing here, and how comfortable it is as well. Heaving a gentle sight from my chest, I didn't just want to say anything yet, at least not now.

When my silence was now prevailing, the young man decided to glare at me and start up a conversation. I did not because it is Nathan, and I am quite comfortable with him, well, to an extent of course.

"Daisy, what about you swallow your pride, walk towards the other end of the room and then apologize? I promise that it will do you absolutely no harm to try it," Nathan said calmly.

The first reaction was to chase him away, but then, I had to reason it out as well, and truth be told, I found sense in every word that was said, it was kind of assuring, and the best in all cases. The issue is, in the room, Norman is busily fighting between life and death, and the worst thing I can do for him right now is to have problems with my family, that will be an absolutely wrong idea but then what can I even do about it? nothing.

There was quite a lot of sense in what the man had just said, and I also believe in the fact that he had every right to make me listen to that, Nathan is truly a blessed soul.

Shifting my head towards his side, I glared at him with bright eyes, and as if that is not enough, I gave him that little smile of mine which is the best so far.

"Thank you so much, Nathan, maybe if we are united, we can end up moving mountains that a single person can not remove. There is no doubt then, the only thing I have left now is to just let the anger slip away from my mind, and swallow my pride as well while I walk towards Dad to present my apology, at least, I know that such a thing might work quite well, right?" she inquired raising her brows.

Heaving a gentle sigh, Nathan was quick in nodding her head from left to right, indeed, he wanted the best for his sister, thus making peace to reign between them is one of the ways to do that.

"Sure, now if you do not mind, walk your way towards that part of the room, a simple apology will do the trick believe me," he said as a smile carved out from his face.

Muttering all the courage that was in my mind, I woke up with full force, as I started my journey towards dad and Benedict. I could not breathe well, I kept on gulping for air because that is quite important right now. Staring at my family as I walked towards them, it was kind of complicated, and for a moment, I had to remove my eyes from them. I clearly didn't want to look at them, it is obvious that several things will be going through their mind right now, but then, I just have to ignore those things, make it work as much that I wanted it to.

Shaking my head from left to right, there is nothing that I can do right now as I have reached them already.

Dad was sitting on the bench while Benedict stood beside him with his eyes glued to mine. Truth be told, I did not clearly mind about what is going on here, or what is the matter actually. They both ignored my existence, and it seemed like I was fighting a lost battle and no matter how tough I try to be or how funny I get, things wouldn't be as rosy as I've thought them to be, not at all.

Inhaling a good amount of air, I silently blew it out, and indeed, it showed that I was getting too nervous.

'For heaven's sake, Daisy, just cut off the crap, these aren't strangers to you, but then, they are family, so react to them as one,' I spat out to myself.

I was being so damn serious about these issues, everything was quite normal, but then, unless I make the bold step of talking to them, it wouldn't probably make such a difference, and I know about that so well.

"Father, Benedict? please I will like you all to give me a little of your time, it is to apologize for the way I've treated you all a while ago.

Like seriously, I know it is so humiliating but then, if we all can just apologize then it will be alright, moreover, I do not mind if things don't get to work out the way I plan it, all I know is that it is going to be alright, and there is no f*****g doubts about it.

I thought that dad wouldn't talk about it, my heartbeat had even accelerated, and I feared for the fact that it might even turn worse, but then, what can I even do about it? nothing, absolutely nothing at all. Well, all these things were just part of my silly imaginations, because, in real life, my father is not a beast. It is true that he made me marry I man I've never met or more fall in love with him to get married, that is a blow that is just so bad, something that I can't forgive him about it. But then, that was the old me because, in the new me, my heartbeat only keeps accelerating when I meet Norman, he kind of makes me happy in every way possible, and that is the joy about it.

Shaking my head from left to right, there is no response I was waiting for right now more than the one about me trying to make things happen myself. It is terrible, more than the words themselves.

"It is alright, Dais Pearl, I understand that we all make mistakes in life, and I am even more than pleased with you for being honest to yourself and to the fact that you have done me nothing but cause trouble, but then, apologizing is the key, especially as I can bear grudges at you. Not so, Ben?" father asked shifting his attention to Benedict.

"That is true, I have forgiven you Daisy, and this is because you have acknowledged the fact that you have made mistakes, and asking for apologies is just the bravest step that you could take right now, I praise you for that," Benedict said calmly.

Alright, they had now both forgiving me, and I was truly happy that they had forgiven me. As if that is not enough, I heard the young man in front of me open his arms while calling me towards his side, and it was kind of aching, but then, what can I even do about it?

I walked over to the young man's side and I hugged him so tightly. "Thank you, Benedict," I murmured.

This was the simplest thing I could say, and I was glad when he nodded his head, making me understand the fact that I am the one that has done this thing for him, at least, he had responded, I was quite pleased. Hugging me even tighter, the young man was now focused on making things work, it was quite challenging, but then, what more can I do?

"You know, Daisy, this is what family is made for, to always stick up to one another during their days of sorrows, and also when they are happy because we consider it as our victory too. Now, pull me that beautiful smile of yours, I guess that I have missed it," Benedict muttered out.

Instantly, I laughed out and that was all that was there to make me happy as well. Although he had asked for me to smile, chuckling was the only thing I did, especially as I was happy over these things, that was quite interesting. Detaching my body from Ben's own, I swirled around and I saw Nathan sitting at the chair where I had left him, and he had this cute smile on his, and that was one in a million, something that he enjoyed it as well. Nathan nodded his head at once, it was cool, and so far, the best thing that can ever happen to me. I understood at once what message he was trying to pass out, more like he was congratulating me.

Well, I clearly did not mind if that was the case, I like more than anything and as I smiled faintly, there is practically nothing I can do but to shift my head from his own, and bringing it towards father. At once, I had a solemn look, I could barely even think of what is going on now, to me, I had several things to talk about that what I just have to be now, but then, I sat beside him, trying to make some room for myself to seat comfortably.

When that was done, I hugged daddy so warmly, it was crazy to do so, but then, what can I even do at this point? nothing. I gently wrapped my arms around dad and curled him up in a swift embrace, and I was pleased when he didn't chase me away. Instead, the young man was focused on leaving me to hug him as much as I wanted to, and like seriously, I held him tightly not wanting to give up on him just yet.
