Marrying Mr. Shaw [EDITING!]

Epilogue

Marrying Mr. Shaw - Epilogue.

Song of the chapter = Of Verona - They Will Fall Like Roses.

The constant pain in my body disfigured me in so many different ways. I just didn't know what was worse, the little pieces of glass that these surgeons were removing from my body or the fact that the events that's been occurring for the past weeks will scar me for life. 

After Doctor Watson infused anesthesia into my body, they were free to work on pulling the sharp glass out of my body without me feeling anything at all. I was meant to be asleep but I woke up as soon as I felt a sharp pain of injection on my wrist. 

I was staring up at the surgery lights, ignoring the surgeons performing their jobs. They asked me repeatedly if I wanted to sleep but I only shook my head. I was surprised they didn't just insert general anesthesia medicine that causes me to sleep rather than the anesthesia that only causes my body to be numb so that I don't feel anything. 

As I stared at the surgery lights, I felt a warm tear slid down the corner of my eyes. Thinking about Chris and everyone I have caused pain. If it wasn't for me, Cletus, Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Wood situation wouldn't have happened. It's because of me that the Shaw family and my very own family have to go through all this trouble. Especially Chris. 

I squeezed my eyes , trying to remove Chris's hurt face. He looked so uplifting and happy in the wedding before Cletus entered, breaking down our worlds apart, causing Chris to look crushed. 

"Can you feel anything, dear?" Doctor Watson asked, startled by the tears. She must've thought I'm crying because I can feel the pain of her pulling glasses out of my body. 

"No." I replied, my voice croaked.

Every time I close my eyes, I could only see pictures of everyone disheartened, Chris, Laila, mom, Josh—everyone. My heart ached every time I would think of them. But what's genuinely frightening is that I see Cletus's face in my head. He's in the darkness with blood shot eyes that sends shivers down my body, causing every hair in my body to stick up. I didn't know if he was dead or not, although he drank a whole bottle of poison, I still wasn't 100% sure. 

"Is Cletus dead?" I asked Doctor Watson. 

I knew she was smiling underneath that mask of hers as the lines near her eyes became more visible. "You're safe, Lucy. Cletus is indeed dead."

I sighed in relief, licking my bottom lip. "Is he in this hospital?"

"Yes," I stared at Doctor Watson with my eyes widening. "But you are safe. He's dead."

I didn't know what had happened to Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Wood but I was hoping they would just stop all this. I was still curious if Cletus was linked to them. 

I sighed in frustration, my head throbbing. 

"I told you, you need sleep." One of the surgeons muffled behind hers surgery mask. 

Ignoring her, I turned my head to my right, staring at the window that was covered with white blinds. I always thought my life was boring before meeting Chris. I always wanted my life to be interesting and something to look forward to every time I would wake up. I just didn't want my life to be a living hell, terrorising my mind every day.

The surgeons places the instruments on a metal tray. They all nodded at each other then at me and one by one, they all left the operation room. Doctor Watson was the last person to be in the room with me. 

"Is it done doctor?" I asked. 

She nodded, removing the mask for me to see her smile. "Indeed. You missy, need good sleep."
