Way Of Me
The Part 14

I tried to open my eyes that felt so heavy. Not only are my eyes difficult to bestow, even my hands are so hard to give. But I tried to move it. First I put my fingers slowly. And finally, I can move it a little bit.

I felt a movement from beside my bed. I'm lyrically, it turns out it's Zoey. He felt like I was moving.

" Hubby, are you conscious ? " he said so happy.

I could only nod weakly, whether he could see it or not because I felt part of my face being blown away by gauze.

Zoey called the doctor and the nurse. Shortly thereafter, doctors and nurses came to check on me.

The day rolled.

My condition is gradually improving. It's just that next to my face is likely to be deformed by the burns that occurred during the fire. To hide the wound, I had to wear a mask. A mask that covered my burnt face. I don't want people to get scared when they see the wounds on my face.

Zoey is back in the company. While I can only stay inside the house. No activities, because I still can't open my new office.

Not to mention that almost all of my clients switched to other parties because I was long enough to do maintenance. It doesn't matter to me, they have the right to switch. I can understand their attitude anyway. They also have to keep their company running after all financial consultants are not just me.

I try not to fall, because I still have a wife who loves me very much. Zoey never bothered what happened to me. Even he was determined to work hard to raise money so that I could have surgery to fix my face back.

I feel inferior sometimes, right now if I'm with Zoey like Beauty and the Beast. Such a beautiful Zoey must be with me who is ugly. But Zoey always strengthens me. He always said that he not only loved my appearance, but also loved my attitude. With that in mind, I felt excited to move on.

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to my father-in-law who didn't approve of my relationship with Zoey in the first place. Mr. Rick was kind to me, maybe in return for saving his daughter.

Actually he always gave support to Jackson to come back with Zoey even more after seeing my physical condition. Before my face was broken, he didn't want to introduce me as his son-in-law.

Especially now, after my face is deformed. He always said that Zoey is still single in front of his business partner. Even without thinking about my feelings, he also said that Jackson was his ideal son-in-law.

For me it's no big deal, after all I know that Zoey's heart is only for me.

To get rid of boredom, I now work in a tavern as a waitress like I did when I was in college.

The tavern belonged to Mr. Kean, the son of Mr. Luke. Yes, I was finally able to reunite with Mr. Luke, even when I met with Mr. Max.

Mr. Max was happy to see me, but I could feel that he also felt a deep sense of pain when he saw my situation. I don't know why it feels different to be with Mr. Max. It was as if we had known each other for a long time.

Many times Mr. Max made offers to help me but I always turned them down. However, he took it as a thank you to me for saving him. To me, helping is nothing to thank. If I could, I would help even if it would cost me my own life.

Therefore, Mr. Luke asked his son Mr. Kean to hire me at the tavern he ran. Of course, I didn't reject it.

That night, I just got home from work. I saw a lot of vehicles parked in Mr. Rick's front yard. Apparently, there's a party there. Maybe my father-in-law is having a dinner.

I entered the house through the back door, intending to avoid the crowd. I don't want those guests to see me, after all. Unfortunately, it turns out they held a banquet in the back garden until finally I was stuck in the crowd.

Several guests were busy looking at me and I also heard whispers questioning my whereabouts.

" Mister Rick, who is he ? " ask a guest who is talking to my father-in-law.

" He is that... "

" He was just one of the servants in our house. He had an accident to save Zoey. Therefore I gave him a job here as our servant "Mister Rick cut off the speech that Zoey was about to deliver.

" He's not a waitress, he's that... "

" He's Zoey's confidant "

This time Jackson interrupted Zoey.

Zoey clucked in annoyance and then looked at me. I smiled faintly as I nodded, telling her I was fine.

" You, go ! " throw Mr. Rick to me.

I bowed my head, then immediately moved away from there.

I can vaguely hear if they're setting Jackson up with Zoey. They say if the relationship between Zoey and Jackson that had broken up had to be re-knit and of course both my father-in-law and Jackson guaranteed it.

I hurried to our room. After a busy day serving customers, I want to immediately lay down on the bed.

I broke down, after cleaning myself up. It feels so fresh and comfortable.

Chequelek

The door opened and I saw Zoey come into the room. I immediately lifted my body and sat down. Zoey slid into my arms. I smiled a little at the behavior my wife gave me.

" What's up ? The show is over ? " i asked Zoey who was still in my arms.

" Not yet, but I want to be with you" Zoey replied as she stuck her face on my chest.

I rubbed her long hair gently and lovingly.

" Go. It is not good to leave guests. What would they say if they found out you disappeared "I said.

" Let it be, I don't care ! I can't stand hearing what they say about you. I should've just said if you were my husband to be able to shut their mouths "said Zoey upset.

" Once, honey. It's okay, the important thing is that you still love me "my words again.

" Yes, I love you so much. I don't care what people think of you. For me you are the best and now I am ready to have a child with you "said Zoey sure.

" Are you sure of what you said ? " i took it upon myself to reassure Zoey's point.

" Yes, very sure ", Zoey said.

" No Zoey ! I don't want to have a child at the moment "reject me make Zoey immediately lift her face and look sharp at me.

" What ? But why Dave ? Don't you want my son so badly ? Now I'm ready " Zoey said questioning my decision.

" Zoey, I'd really like to have a child with you. But right now, I am thinking about his future. I am not a perfect father. My face is deformed, even I don't have a good job. I don't want to make my son ashamed of having a father like me. So, we can still delay having children for a few more years "i explained.

I saw disappointment in Zoey's eyes. But I think this is the best decision. Until finally, Zoey nodded in agreement with my request.

I'm sorry Dave ! I'll take off my contraceptives. I want to conceive our child soon, because with the presence of a child between us, I'm sure Daddy and Jackson will stop looking for a way to separate us.
