My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)

The second he got off the plane, Andy headed for the hospital. He heard the news that Richard was in an accident. He ditched various important meetings just to hurry and come check up on Richard's status. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw Amy's desolate figure and felt inexplicably sad as well.

"Amy, you must remain strong. Richard was willing to throw his life away for you, so you have to stay strong and stay alive to take care of him!" He was more than willing to throw his life away for Amy as well, but Richard stole the spotlight first. With someone like this watching over Amy, Andy felt relieved.

"Oh, how's the other driver doing?" Amy said as she cried, then wiped her tears as she suddenly thought of something. She had been constantly worried about Richard that she completely forgot about the other driver in the Jeep.

"Dead; when Richard hit the car, it killed the driver on the scene. Richard was driving too fast, the impact wrecked the Jeep. Otherwise, it'd have been Richard's car that's wrecked." Kingsley had already told Andy everything, and the deceased was one everyone knew too.

"Dead? Who was the driver?" Upon hearing news that the other driver was dead, Amy was even more curious as to who the person was to be so manic.

"Hadrian!" Amy froze still in place when Andy uttered the name. This brother and sister duo really wanted her dead!

"Yes, he died at the scene. Richard is fine, at least he's not in any danger now. I took a look at his results, there are some areas of concern, but he's got a tough body, he'll definitely pull through." Andy comforted Amy.

Thinking about how Richard was willing to throw his life away for her sake, Amy sunk back into a depression.

Richard's accident was reported on the TV and radio news, but it didn't say who the two concerned parties were; it kept the two male drivers anonymous. Kingsley and Andy had ensured to make these preparations in place.

So, other than the handful of people at the hospital, no one else knows about Richard's accident and hospitalization.

The following three days passed and felt as long as three years. Amy did not get any sleep at all while Richard was still under observation. She had a makeshift bed beside Richard's intensive care ward, and she was either sitting or lying in the bed the whole time. Whenever she felt tired, she took small naps.

Andy and Kingsley too turned to bring her some food. Amy did not even inform her parents about Richard's accident, for fear that they would worry.

On the fourth day, Amy's eyes were blackened, but she still couldn't sleep.

Early in the morning, Andy asked the doctor to run some checkups on Richard.

Every passing minute and second felt like an eternity to Amy. As Richard laid still on the hospital bed, with the nurse helping to turn his body around at times. He had no consciousness at all.

After the series of checkups, when Andy stepped out the ward, Amy grabbed his wrist immediately to inquire about Richard's status.

"He's through any imminent dangers, but he's still in a coma. I'll transfer him over to a VIP ward, then you'll have to take care of him. Remember, he's only got you in his heart, so you have to talk to him and let him know that you're here taking care of him." Andy instructed Amy carefully.

"Alright, I got it, leave it to me." Amy hurriedly replied.

Amy felt relieved that Richard's life was not in any imminent danger now. As long as he was alive and out of danger, wasn't there hope that he'd recover in the future?

After Richard was moved to the new ward, Amy returned home to pick up some items; she planned to take care of her lover.

"Mom, it's nothing life threatening now, Richard will be fine, I'll take good care of him, so don't worry." Amy told Cathy as she returned home to pack some items.

"Then I'm going to go see him tomorrow." Cathy said; she had to make sure her son was OK.

"Mom, can you not come visit lately? When everything's fine and settled, I'll let you know." Richard did not look well at all right now; he was barely recognizable after the accident. Amy was afraid that Cathy would feel devastated.

"Alright, then I leave it up to you, Amy. Don't tire yourself too much. How about I send someone to go help you out?" Cathy was also quite concerned for Amy.

She knew things must be quite bad if her daughter-in-law wouldn't let her go see her son, but as long as he was alive. Cathy was dying to see how Richard was doing, but in the end, she heeded Amy's words.

"No need, mom, Richard is in this ordeal because of me. If I don't take care of him by myself, I won't forgive myself." Amy insisted to take care of Richard on her own.

After she was done packing, Amy went to see her son Allen, who wasn't aware that her father was badly injured. He was still looking at his own drawings when she went to see him. "Allen." Amy called out.

He turned his head, saw her, and ran to her with open arms.

"Mom, where have you been, I've missed you." He hadn't seen her in days. Allen asked Cathy for Amy's whereabouts many times, but all she said was that Amy was off on a business trip.

"I was on a business trip, but now I have another business trip. You must be good and stay home and listen to grandma, alright?" Amy hugged Allen and kissed his forehead.

"Fine, I get it, I'll be good. Why do you always have to go on business trips?" Allen reached out and stroked Amy's face.

"It's because I've got a lot of work lately, so I have to go on these trips. Your dad's away on a business trip too. Remember, don't take candy from strangers, and don't wander off with strangers, OK." Amy held her son close and said next to his ear.

"OK, I got it." Allen nodded his head. His cute face had an expression of naivety yet wisdom.

Amy also instructed Robin with some tasks, then prepared to head out.

"Ma'am, where are you going? I'd like to speak to you." Marian was already home; she had heard that Amy and Richard would not be home for a while, so she felt as though now was a good time.

"I'm off on a business trip, what is it." Amy looked at Marian and said. She appeared to be wearing a fancy branded clothing. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it didn't seem to be in Marian's price range.

"I'd like to take Allen out for walks from time to time; children should be outdoors more to see more of the world." Marian told Amy.

"Oh, out? Well, if you bring Robin and his grandma out together then it is fine. If it's just him alone, then no!" Amy directly rejected Marian's suggestion.
