The Devil Charming's
Does not End
“True love doesn’t have a happy ending, because true love doesn’ end.”
News of Edison's death spread quickly under various assumptions as to what exactly was the motive for the murder. Miraculously, Edward's name was never once mentioned in the widespread news, of course. Edwrad, with all his power, had paid a great lawyer to clear his good name, and the police also had no evidence to accuse Edward. Edwrad only once underwent a period of questioning with the status of a witness at the scene. The spread of bad facts about the man seemed to be a fortune for Edward because the police had dared to conclude, that the motive of the incident was due to business competition, as if it was a matter of luck to Edward, considering the police knew a lot of Edison's enemies after the revelation of the facts of the man's life, even the police could not find the cctv footage that was definitely removed, he said, in addition, Edward handed the recording of the conversation between Edison and himself to the police, the tape in which Edison blatantly confessed his actions by ordering his men to infiltrate Edward's office to injure the New York businessman's son. Everything went according to Edward's plan despite being a little wordy because it involved the police and the media. While the bodies of the sniper and others were certainly cleaned up by Edwrad's men before the police came until now no one knows who shot Edison.
“Mommy.”
Edward gasped at the sound of his son's voice after several days lying unconscious, slowly he shifted Lizbeth's sleeping head leaning on his shoulder until the woman woke up and immediately moved ahead of Edward to approach Gabriel who was conscious.
“Honey, mommy here, son,” said Lizbeth kissed his son's forehead and stroked Gabriel's head gently.
“Mommy cries?” gabriel's tiny hand moved slowly to wipe his mother's tears. “What because Gabriel broke mommy's rule? I’m sorry, Gabriel—“
Gabriel's words came to a halt as Lizbeth immediately hugged him and sobbed even more. Gabriel's blue eyes looked at Edward standing behind Lizbeth.
“Mommy is just too worried, son and also happy to see you come back to your senses.” Said Edward giving his smile to Gabriel. “I’m sorry dad.” Said Gabriel softly still looking at Edward with a slightly frightened look.
Edward shook his head slowly and said a sentence outside Gabriel.
“We are proud to have such a brave and great son like you, and thank you for saving daddy and our company.”
Lizbeth let go of his embrace looking at his son affectionately, for a moment only silence existed because Gabriel was still trying to digest Edward's speech which made his brain suddenly slow to work. The doctor's voice made them look at the door.
“Sorry to interrupt the time, I was going to check on the patient next door and when it happened that the door of this room was open, I saw Gabriel was conscious,”, the doctor told Edward and Lizbeth.
Edward nodded, allowing the doctor to check on Gabriel after Lizbeth left his position.
“Hai, son. What do you feel now?”
“Just a little pain in my stomach,” Gabriel replied with a hand that felt a bandage on his stomach.
“That's natural, the wound will heal soon and the pain will soon disappear.” The doctor smiled gently “are you dizzy?”
Gabriel shakes.
“Good. You're a strong boy.”
“When can I go home?” Gabriel's question made the doctor in front of him smile again.
“After you've been able to sit properly, your wounds haven't dried yet, son. So be patient.”
Edward and Lizbeth just quietly observe the conversation of their son and the doctor, before Edward suddenly asked something that made the doctor turn his body and looked at Edwrad.
“Can we do the treatment at home? Coincidentally we have a private doctor, maybe Gabriel is bored and wants to go home soon.”
The doctor was silent for a moment and thought and nodded. “Can, but at least give me two days to ensure the good development of your child's health. After all Gabriel had also just woken up from his unconsciousness for a few days and I was responsible for that.”
Edwrad nodded in agreement, trying to understand the good intentions of the doctor even though Edward actually asked for Gabriel's treatment at home is so that he can give a special drug to the gunshot wound in Gabriel's stomach so as not to take a long time to heal. It is impossible for Edward to give the drug here because even though it is licensed, the drug is certainly only known by certain people.
Edward allowed the doctor to come out. Looked Lizbeth who had come back to his son and drank a glass of water on Gabriel.
***
“Are you sure you want to cancel our vacation plans?” ask Edward.
Lizbeth nodded. “After all Gabriel doesn't agree to take a winter vacation, you know, if your son doesn't like the cold and you're going to take him to Russia with the temperature going to be a lot colder than New York.”
Edward turned off his laptop and placed it on the table next to him and his arm moved to pull Lizbeth in his arms, Lizbeth according to Edward's treatment of her, the woman was getting her body tightened, leaning her head on her husband's shoulder has always felt comfortable and secure since Lizbeth first fell in love with him.
Gabriel was brought home a week ago and now the ten-year-old is back to health with a gunshot scar on his stomach that is slowly fading away perfectly, be thankful that Edwrad has the best medicine in wound healing.
“Do you remember, baby?”
“Hmm?” Lizbeth just muttered and looked up at Edward who was looking down on him with a soft look.
“We haven't had a honeymoon since we got married, do you want us to do it? We'll go alone, I can ask Alena's mom to look after Gabriel.”
Instantly Lizbeth giggled in amusement at the words of her husband. Somehow he felt ashamed himself to discuss this when their marriage was ten years old.
“Why laugh?” edward asked in a dislike tone to find such a response from his wife.
Lizbeth shook his head and straightened his body, he looked up to explore the beauty of Edward's blue iris like an ocean that always washed away even though it looked beautiful. Since first looking into those eyes, Lizbeth has been drifting deeper and deeper every second until he no longer knows how to get out of there. Lizbeth's outstretched hand stroked Edward's jaw gently and kissed him at a glance.
“I never demand anything from you, just you always stay by my side and complete our little family that is already the most beautiful thing in my life.”
The atmosphere became silent, there was no sound again after Lizbeth finished his sentence, even Edward was only able to stare lovingly at his wife who always made him feel in love many times every second. Is it a great sin if Edward is not grateful to be able to get a wife like Lizbeth, a tough woman who has never demanded anything since the first time they fell in love or can say since the first time they met? A beautiful destiny packed with likes, sorrows, cries and laughter until now both have a happy ending. Yeah, at least that's what they're feeling now, living together, having a perfect family and giving all their love to Gabriel, Lizbeth and Edward just don't want the trauma of their past lives without love old o3r8a4ng to be felt by Gabriel.
Edward hugged his wife tightly, held her whole soul and gave up all his love for Lizbeth, and vice versa.
“Have I ever thanked you?” “Thank you for what?” reply Lizbeth is still faithful to be in the peace of her husband's embrace.
“Thank you for accompanying me struggling with so many reasons to stay afloat, until now.”
“I just have no reason to give up and no idea how to get out of the comfort zone you created.”
For the first time in years of living together, they are in a romantic situation with sweet sentences they say, perfecting their love story.
Here they were, a large room with large windows and wide open curtains showing the first snow that began to fall. Although there is no holiday or honeymoon, the feeling of happiness has filled every corner of their hearts.
There is no end to true love stories, because they keep starting every day, starting new happiness, starting new struggles, start to solve new problems and move on until they age together or even close their eyes leaving a story that turns into history, but their love does not end, this story will continue to be a story in the future.
