Being Mrs Spence

There was a tap on the door, it was obviously open but the person still decided to knock.

She recognized the male hand and knew who it was

He came in with a full wrapped flowers of different types. Bigger than a normal bouquet.

“Hey…

That was all he said as he came and placed it on a table beside her bedside.

“Hey Max…

She replied back with a smile.

…. that’s loads of flowers. Thank you Max…

She thought he was going to sit but he stood inside.

“Yea… I hand picked them by myself. Some has a healing sent… strong powerful unique fine smell. Like this one here…

He pulled out one stick and asked her to inhale, she did with a smile.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

There was another knock and before Florence could say anything Maxwell said to me.

“I came with Bill. He will be traveling by weekend back to London. I left him outside because he was on a phone call… hope you don’t mind us crowding up your small space again?

She nooded with a wave of hand.

Just then Bill came in. Ever since last week that she came out of coma, this was the third time he will be coming around.

Few days ago he came alone without Maxwell, he brought some tasty donut and cream.

He spoke greatly of Maxwell and how much of a great guy he was.

He mentioned that Maxwell cares greatly about her and can’t stop blaming himself for what happened.

Florence assured Bill that Maxwell got nothing to do with it and he shouldn’t blame himself for her unthinkable foolish decision.

She was supposed to be discharged from the hospital days ago but the doctors said she should stay few more days so that they can watch her if anything will change from her sudden quick recovery which still baffles the medical team.

Finally, Florence will be leaving tomorrow.

Susan has been great. She was mostly around except few occasions that she needs to go home.

She came in the morning, picked some of Florence things in the hospital and went home.

“Hi…

Bill greeted with full smile as he stepped in.

“… congratulations, I heard you are leaving the hospital tomorrow. From the scary ICU to a normal hospital bed then home. wow… after the darkest month of all our lives. You fought well, and you conquered it all. I’m proud of you… I’m gonna really miss you, I will be traveling by weekend… Maxwell isn’t gonna travel with me again. He said he got other things to do down here… well, anytime he feels like coming over, my door remains open for him and for you too…”

Florence thanked Bill and they talked about other things.

Bill and Florence mostly, Maxwell did not talk much. He stood all through while Bill sat

They stayed for sometime before finally leaving.

Bill left first, Maxwell asked when Susan will be coming back, Florence replied him.

He nodded silently before saying

“You’re alright?.. do you need anything… do you feel any pain at all..?

“I’m doing great… I don’t need anything. Thanks Max…”

Florence replied.

Just then Susan came in. She was delighted to see Maxwell.

Maxwell later left with Bill. Susan stayed.

The following day she was discharged and went over to stay at Susan’s house.

Her bags and other personal belongings that was still back in the house was brought to her by Susan.

Cole was released from police custody after Florence came out of coma.

Lizbeth was released before then due to her health condition.

Dominic too was freed, the house was later unsealed

The police handed over Florence items with them to Susan.

Florence got her bag which contains both her and Cole’s phone.

Back at Susan’s house, she kept thinking of all that happened as she stared at Cole’s phone.

She knew his password but opening his phone and going through is not what she find pleasant doing.

She was afraid she may discover another thing that will hurt her emotions.

She put back the phone in her bag.

She remember saying she will send Cole back to the street, retrieve the cheque and the bank will collect back the house but that was all before her encounter.

She does not have the mind to do any of what she planned.

Cole with Lizbeth is still a shock to her, a big shock she may never get away from.

Thinking about it still brings tears to her eyes but she had to try and move pass that.

She couldn’t return back to work, not because she was sacked but she may not be able to concentrate like she used to do.

She was still traumatized from the whole experience.

Maxwell had cleared all the hospital bills, the money was huge yet he paid it all.

Cole did not bring a dime, even after he was freed he did not come to the hospital.

Probably he was afraid, his assumption was that Florence was dead. It was while in custody he got to know that Florence has been in coma.

He was also informed when she woke up and he was released after then but he never came around.

After two months he came over to Susan without his car.

Susan asked him to leave and never step his feet again in her house but Florence asked her sister to calm down.

She can’t keep avoiding him, she asked Susan to let her speak to Cole in private.

Susan angrily left.

Cole sat down beside Florence.

“I… I’m glad that you made it. I was so scared… I thought you were dead. I could have come but lots of fear held me back. I don’t have money and I don’t have anyone that can loan me for your hospital bills. I was detained for more than two weeks at the police. Lizbeth and Dominic were both freed before me. I only learnt of your discharged two weeks ago and I suppose to come see you here but your sister… she won’t stopped threatening me. I’m sorry Florence… please forgive me, I know you may never forgive me but I still have to plead to be forgiven. I’m truly sorry… I thought I had loosed you. I was scared… I couldn’t live with myself with such realization. Please forgive me….

“Sure Cole. I Forgive you… I truly do from the dept of my heart.
