Chapter 11 - Sorry

Sebastian Grey

Lunch with pops was actually entertaining. He didn't ask a lot about our relationship and try to butt into our marriage life which I'm so glad of. Isabelle had to leave earlier because she has some work to do.

"Did you treat her right?" He suddenly asked me after she left.

"Yes, I'm trying to be a good husband. Sometimes she's not cooperating, to be exact." I said honestly and pops chuckled.

"What?" I looked at him confused because he seems to enjoy it.

"I heard that her name was actually Isabelle Grey at the charity event. Isaac forgot about it and accidentally wrote her name with your last name."

"Yeah, she left the event right away." I said as I grabbed my glass of water.

"Did you ever find more about her background? Like get a PI and maybe try to know more about her." I asked curiously.

"No, why should I when I get the most accurate source? Isaac told me all about his granddaughter, he knows her so well so why would I hire a PI?" He raised his eyebrows and I nodded.

"What do you know about Elijah Rixton? She should have marry him instead of marrying me, they both seem so close with each other." I leaned my body back to my seat and pops nodded.

"Elijah is a good friend for Isabelle but won't be a good partner for her. He indeed understands her in every way but he won't be a good husband for her. He loves Isabelle but not quite ready to commit just yet." I nodded and pops chuckled.

"Why? You don't like Elijah?" Pops asked.

"It's not that, I was just wondering why she didn't pick him. She spends a lot of time with him and even spend the night on his birthday."

"Oh.. I know about that. She came home to Isaac's house that night. She spent the night there." I raised my eyebrows hearing it.

"That's why you should talk to her more, you both are lacking in communicating."

Isabelle Orsino

I sat down after a long day of work. I have 3 meetings regarding the newest lauch for my products. I have one more meeting left in 20 minutes but why do I feel so sick all of the sudden?

I called Lia to make me a cup of hot tea with honey. I really need some boost to finish my work. I walked out from my office to ask one of my employees to copy some files but before I could say anything.. everything went black.

Sebastian Grey

I walked into my house after a long day of work. I saw Isabelle's secretary's car on the drive way. I walked in and saw her walking downstairs carrying a suitcase.

"Mr. Grey." She greeted me.

"Where is she going this late?" I asked as she got down and put the suitcase on the floor.

"Ms. Orsino is hospitalize. She fainted this evening and the doctor asked her to stay for two days."

"What happened? What's the cause?" I asked.

"She's been overwork herself these days and she's been stressing a lot too."

"Is she okay now?"

"Yes, she just need some rest." Lia said and I nodded.

"Bring her home."

"I'm sorry?" Lia was so confused.

"Bring her home, I will call my family doctor to check on her." I said to her and she was speechless.

"But she-"

"Just bring her home with an ambulance, the doctors will be ready to check on her once you arrive here. Bring her home now." I told Lia.

"Very well, I will bring her home." Lia didn't even bother to bring the suitcase anymore.

"Doctor Pierce, my wife is sick. I want you to come to my house immediately." I called my family doctor to come. I went upstairs to open the door and walk back down to open the main door widely.

Isabelle Orsino

"This is ridiculous." I sighed.

"But your husband insisted." Lia said and I can't believe this is happening. Sebastian asked Lia to bring me back home and she didn't even bother to ask my opinion on it.

"We're here." They announced. The car stopped and they opened the door, Sebastian was already standing there waiting for me. They pulled my bed out and Sebastian picked me up bridal style. He brought me in and went straight upstairs. He laid me on the bed gently and there's already a doctor waiting for me.

"Mrs. Grey, I'm Doctor Vincent Pierce. Your husband called telling me that you fainted this evening. Can you tell me more about how you feel right now?"

Sebastian Grey

After Doctor Pierce went home, I walked upstairs to be with Isabelle. I walked in and she's still sitting leaning on the head board.

"How are you feeling?" I asked and she turned to me.

"A little better, still feel a little dizzy."

"Rest for two days and then you can get back to work on Monday. You're overworking yourself." I said as I sat on the side of the bed.

"Thankyou, Sebastian." She said and I nodded.

"I told Lia that I'll take a 3 days rest, I need a break from work." She added.

"That's good. You need to sleep, if you need anything, just call me." I said and she nodded. She laid down and I got up to sit on the sofa.

"You know.." I turned to Isabelle when she said that. "I never thought about marrying Elijah in the first place, he's not capable of taking care of me like this. You were actually my one and only choice, I have no other. I'm sorry about what I said before, I hope you're not that mad at me." I found myself smiling at her statement.

"Get some sleep."

"Once again, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too, I should have asked you nicely instead of accusing you." I said honestly.

"It's okay."

"Get some sleep, I'll buy something good for you to eat when you wake up."

"I like mushroom cream soup and maybe a burger would be nice." I chuckled hearing it but will make sure to buy it.

"Roger that."
