Forced to Marry a Vegetative Man
chapter 20

#20_Good Plan

Abigail's breathing was stingy, her fear making her whole body drenched in sweat. As the man's steps came to a halt in the room, Abigail quickly moved her body apart. However, when he realized who smothered his mouth, Abigail's body suddenly limp until almost fell if the man in front of him did not catch.

“Honey, I'm sorry,” said the man who was none other than Raiden.

Raiden confirmed Abigail's position and hugged her tightly. Abigail's legs no longer supported her body. The trauma of events carried out by Evan is very impressive and makes him often scared when in a position like this.

“Darling, I'm sorry. Sorry.” Raiden tightens his arms and wishes Abigail well.

“A-what happened? Why are you here, Raiden?” abigail asked who was confused by her husband's whereabouts.

“Sit down first, I'll explain what happened to you.” Raiden leads Abigail to sit on the edge of the bed.

Raiden's hands touched Abigail's shoulders and tried to calm her down first. After Abigail's breathing regained order and her heart rate stabilized, Raiden began talking about the incident with Dona.

“I know, he set me up with a stimulant. I saw it all on the CCTV, honey. I also saw you swap those glasses. Thank you, thanks to you, I did not fall into Dona's trap,” Raiden told his wife.

“La-then ... where is Dona now? I heard a voice like two people fighting. Wh-who's with Dona now, Raiden?”

Raiden smiled and ruffled Abigail's hair in anxiety. “You don't need to know who they are. I've arranged everything from the beginning. I also pretended to be drunk with Dona, but in the end she herself was lying unconscious.”

Abigail praises her husband's ingenuity for not getting caught up with Dona's seduction. It seems like Raiden has indeed been very self-preserving since he was aware of his vegetative state.

“So, that one over there isn't you. Thank goodness.”

Raiden broke down a smile, feeling that Abigail was worried about him when he was with Dona. It makes Raiden happy to involuntarily bring his face closer in front of Abigail's lips. The kiss was unavoidable by Abigail, even though she had tried to calm down, but she remembered the fateful night with Evan. Suddenly Abigail pushed Raiden's body and almost ran. However, Raiden pulls Abigail's hand until her body falls over Raiden.

Abigail closed her eyes, her body trembling again as if fear enveloped her. Seeing that, Raiden stopped his action and told Abigail to stand aside.

“It's late at night, dear. You better sleep, I'll be here with you,” Raiden said.

Abigail is thrilled when Raiden doesn't force her to have a marital relationship. The fear can not be removed just like that as long as the bruise marks and wounds on the body have not disappeared.

“Raiden, a-aku—“ Raiden put one of her index fingers on Abigail's lips.

“Sstt! Go to sleep, you must be tired from waiting for me. Thank you, Darling.”

Hearing repeated words of thanks from her husband's lips, Abigail felt increasingly discouraged and unworthy to be there— by the good man's side.

Raiden seems happy to have Abigail worrying so much about him when Dona wants to do evil tonight. Not only that, Raiden felt all because Abigail's feelings for her husband were love. Raiden smiled again when he felt that someone loved him sincerely, without thinking about the property he had.

“You are indeed different from the women out there, dear. I feel so lucky to get you, it all started with grandfather, yes .. I'm glad grandfather's choice was never wrong. He gave me the best woman and that is you, Abigail.” Raiden spoke in a very low tone so that Abigail would not be disturbed.

Abigail was wearing a nightgown, a garment that featured part of her body. Of course the sight attracted Raiden to follow him. Suddenly, Raiden's vision stopped. A wound, no, some wounds were clearly visible on Abigail's legs and hands.

“What is this? Why are there so many friction wounds? It's like being rubbed hard.”

Raiden's eyes re-circulated all over Abigail's body and looked for any other injuries?

Sure enough, Raiden found some of the same injuries. He felt stupid because he did not know the condition of his own wife during busy with work and cases conducted by Yudith.

“Darling, what have you been doing all this time? Why does your body look like this?”

Raiden got out of bed, before he made sure that Abigail did not wake up with his movements. The man walked out of the room and called out to the bodyguard who was ordered to stand in front of his room.

“What do you know about my wife's activities over these few days?”

“Sorry, Sir. The lady spends more time in the bathroom. At least that's what the waiter here said. In fact, Madam could spend up to almost lunch hour inside there. However, today it is not usually the Madam to go out of the room. The mistress is different and much better this morning greeting some of the maids and people in this house,” was obviously the bodyguard there.

Raiden grabbed his phone and saw CCTV footage in his room. A shocking sight made Raiden grieve for himself. The man felt like he had failed in protecting Abigail. In the recording, Abigail is rubbing her body and some other parts that still leave Evan's scars. With a face full of fear and feeling contempt for his own body, Abigail was seen crying and said, “I'm dirty, I'm so dirty. I can't keep going like this, I don't deserve Raiden.”

Raiden's heart ached hearing what happened there. Raiden returned to the room and saw a female figure on the bed. Raiden told the bodyguards to look for a topical medication so that the wound on Abigail's body immediately disappeared.

Raiden looked back at Abigail's face, making her love his wife even more. Raiden even promises in her to look after and help Abigail to be the wife she deserves to love.

Raiden's fingers touched Abigail's face, rubbing her gently. Then, not long after, the bodyguard who got an order from Raiden also appeared to bring oleh medicine to Abigail.

“Master, this is a drug I found in the wellness room. There looks to be a medicine box and this is one of them.”

“Alright, you can go, I will take care of my wife myself now.”

After the bodyguard's departure, Radien now began to apply the drug on the wounds that are still visible on Abigail's body.

“I'm sorry, Honey. I'm really sorry. It's all my fault, if only then did I wake up and help you. Maybe you will not experience this,” said Raiden while gently rubbing the wound around Abigail's leg.

“Hem, Raiden. What are you doing?” ask Abigail.
