Chapter 13: Hospital
Haydenâs broken face was the most horrible thing Hunter had ever had to see. When heâd gotten the call telling him that sheâd been found beaten and bloody in an alleyway, heâd rushed over faster than he thought his car could actually go. He was certain he was going to get a couple of tickets in the mail; heâd skipped more than a few red lights and broke the speeding limit the entire way. Despite everything that had happened between them, she was still his wife and he still loved her very, very much. He never wanted her to get hurt in any way. That was never his intention.
Especially not like this.
Hunter had made a few phone calls earlier, asking his mother-in-law to keep Levi overnight. There was no way he was going to bring his son to the hospital to see his mother like this. She looked so frail, so weak. No child ever deserved to see their hero like that.
Hunter kissed her hand repeatedly, holding onto it for dear life. The nurses had told him that she was still on a lot of pain medication and even if she did wake up, she wasnât going to know that he was even there. They told him to go home, to take a shower, but he was having none of it. Instead, he got himself cup after cup of coffee and waited.
He waited for his wife to wake up. He waited for someone to tell him what happened. But he had no such luck, so he spent the entire night at her bedside, telling her stories about how theyâd first met, hoping she would remember him when she woke up. If she woke upâ¦

Hayden awoke to the sound of beeping, a hand wrapped tightly around hers. Her eyes were heavy, and it was an effort to open them. A sharp light greeted her, and she winced. The hand that was holding hers abruptly let go. Her hand felt cold all of a sudden, and she reached for the absent hand. The hand returned and Hunterâs face came into view.
He smiled at her. It was a sad sort of smile. The smile you gave someone on their deathbed. It was the smile she had given her dad when he was in the hospital, with no hope of recovery. Hayden didnât feel like she was dying. Yes, she was sore and could hardly move or breathe, but she was alive. Was this what dying felt like? Did dying feel exactly like living?
âHayden, baby,â Hunter whispered before kissing her forehead. His touch was as light as a feather, but there was a heaviness to her that made Haydenâs chest contract. âHow are you feeling? What happened? Do you need a nurse? I can get a nurse. Nurse!â
It was unlike Hunter to fuss and Hayden didnât enjoy it one bit. She preferred the calm and collected Hunter, the one that couldnât be fazed by anything. This Hunter made Hayden nervous.
âRelax, will you?â she said, trying to sit up when a pain in her ribs shot through her body, making her ears ring.
