The Law of Attraction
chapter-376

Chelsy opened her eyes and saw Ram on her side, staring at her. She looked around and bit her lower lip. She was now in a hospital room, and Ram probably already knew about her wound.

She wanted to hide everything as much as possible because she didn't want him to hate her for what she did. God knows how much she wanted to be honest with him. She wanted to tell him everything, but she was scared… not only for herself but also for him.

"How are you feeling? They stitched you up. Good thing they did not need to operate since the wound did not affect any vital organs." she heard Ram speak.

Chelsy moved, but Ram stopped her and said, "Rest first, Chelsy. Just lay still."

"Ram, I…"

"Shhh… Rest and we can talk later once you are ready, Chelsy. Don't worry. I'm always here, ready to listen. I only hope you can trust me Chelsy, like how I am trusting you. Let me take care of you and protect you." Ram said, hoping Chelsy would tell him what really happened because he was really worried about her.

It was that day that he realized how much Chelsy meant to him. He came to love her and he did not want to lose her by any means. He could feel how genuine Chelsy's feelings were towards him and he was grateful he met someone like her.

Chelsy bit her lower lip hard as she tried to control the tears that started welling up in her eyes. Ram was just too good to be true for him. How dare she think she deserved someone like him? She did not deserve him. She should wake up from her impossible dream already.

"Ram… I'm sorry, but I am a mess right now. I've been balancing things, and I thought somehow I could still start a new life after the last task they asked me to do." Chelsy started talking, stuttering. That last task… That would probably end everything between her and Ram.

Ram creased his forehead as he looked at her because he was so confused with what she was saying at that moment. He held her trembling hand and whispered, "Try to relax first. We have a lot of time for you to tell me everything. You're cold..."

Yes, she was cold, and trembling because she knew it would soon be the end of her. Ram's hatred was the last thing she wanted to face, but it could not be helped. She must confess everything and face the consequences of her own actions and decisions. Though she thought that the decision she made was the best at that time.

But instead of trying to relax like what Ram suggested, Chelsy burst into more tears. Ram could feel her agony that he held her hand and wiped the tears away from her cheek. He could feel Chelsy was going on through something. She was having a hard time at that point and he could not bear to see that. It was breaking his heart into pieces.

He sighed and murmured, "Tell me whatever it is. Let me help you and let's solve things together, Chelsy."

Chelsy, still with a hesitant look, stared at him and started to speak… She told everything to Ram, every single detail.

'Oh God…' she mused while looking at Ram's face, which had turned dark and gloomy.

That was what she was worried about. What if he ended up hating her? What if her reasons were not enough to justify her choice? The things she did? She thought she could hide it somehow and start a new beginning after that incident, but then it was proven true at this point that there were no secrets that could remain hidden.

"I am sorry…" she kept on saying those words, over and over.

"I didn't mean to… I wanted to tell you, but I was so scared… They sent me that video where you almost got hit." Chelsy murmured, sobbing.

"Are they the one who stabbed you?" Ram asked with a clenched jaw.

"It was dark… I don't remember his face. I don't think he's from the same group. The one who asked me that last request already left me alone after I completed the job." Chelsy stated. That was why she was hoping they would keep their promise, and she could have a fresh start with Ram.

"Liam should know about this Chelsy. You will need protection. But for now, don't think about anything and just focus on your recovery," Ram commented with a blank expression.

Chelsy was too overwhelmed because of Ram's kindness. How could he think of her welfare first and not be mad at her for what she did?

"Why? Why help me still despite everything?" Chelsy whispered. For some reason, she was still hoping that nothing would change. Was she that shameless to hope for something like that?

Ram heaved a long deep frustrated sigh and answered, "I am mad… Merely because you did not trust me and tell me about it during that time. You should have been honest with me and we can solve things out. I understand that you fear your own safety and mine and that you thought my son can handle everything well in the end but still... "

Another sigh came out from his mouth as he continued, "I want this to be the last time you will hide anything from me, Chelsy. I will call my son now, so you two can talk. Please tell him everything in detail… and answer his questions in all honesty."

Chelsy nodded. Soon Liam arrived at the hospital and inside Chelsy's room. She could not even look him in the eye.

"Tell me everything from the start," Liam commanded in his serious tone.

Chelsy gulped… And took the courage to open her mouth to narrate everything to Liam in detail, exactly like what Ram told her to do.. This could be her doom, but she was willing to face her punishments because she knew that what she did was still very wrong. Her good intentions would still not justify her wrong deeds.
