Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 589 - Five Hundred And Eighty-Nine: He Was With Her Now

As emotional as Reina was, she didn't even dare to throw herself at Niklaus in fear that she might aggravate his injuries. So she stood there and began to cry.

Reina was not crying because he was in this condition, but tears of relief. She was happy that he was alive. When everyone arrived and there was no sign of Niklaus and saw the sympathetic look on Judy's face, she knew something had happened. Seeing Niklaus absent, she thought the worse, that he had died and it had scared her - so much.

She didn't dare to envision a life without Niklaus, it looked dark and hopeless. The fear had squeezed her heart so tight that she couldn't breathe and lost consciousness. But then, Niklaus was here. That's all that counted. The wheelchair didn't matter at all. They had all the money they wanted, they would surely figure out something.

"Don't worry, baby," Reina said to him, giving no fuck to the audience, "You don't have to worry about anything. I'm just grateful you're alive. You're finally here for me, the kids, and the unborn ones - I'm sure they miss their daddy as much as I do...."

A sniff came from the back, Cecil was crying as well. Perhaps, even more than Reina. Emerald had no choice but to take her into his arms, "Don't cry, honey, please,"

"It's so heart-touching, I can't help it," Cecil said through tears.

Although the others in the room didn't cry as much as Cecil, they were affected by her words.

"You just go through all the treatment," Reina went on, "I'll be here with you every step of the way. You don't even have to see yourself as incapable or disabled, to me, you're still the same Niklaus - sweet, handsome, intelligent and with a bit of naughtiness...." she laughed through the tears.

This time, a tear trailed down Niklaus face.

"Do you remember at our wedding, during the exchange of vows? I promised that I'll offer you all that I have, all that I am, and all that I will be. So you don't worry, I, and the kids won't look at you any different. We'd got through this and have you up on your feet once more. Niklaus, I'll have the best doctors - "

"Wait a minute," Niklaus wanted to say but Reina wouldn't let him speak.

"You don't have to be ashamed or anything, I'll personally find every means available to make you walk once again. Your confinement to the wheelchair shouldn't concern nor depress -"

"I can walk, baby!" Niklaus finally shouted to her stupefaction

"Huh?" Reina felt as if she was hit by lightning causing her brain to boot slowly.

"I can walk fine - at least, not yet,"

Confused, Reina turned to the others "What's he talking about?"

Judy took it upon himself to explain since it was all his fault anyway, "Two bullets lodged in his leg, shattering the bones there," He internally winced at the memory.

After the bombing which eradicated half of their enemies - The shock wave and the building collapse had done more killing than the bomb itself.?They had easily wiped out the rest of the troops- their confidence decreased after the bombing - and had victory, or so they thought.

One of the treachers had hidden properly and kept low until his brethren were defeated. It seems he was back up for if the plan failed, he could kill the prince. Lord Albert probably had this mentally, if the plan failed, the prince had to come to hell with them.

The betrayal had tried to fire at Judy when everyone was caught up with the celebration of victory. However, Niklaus, who was by his side noticed the man's move and pushed Judy away - with quite a force - and fired back while trying to dodge. Unfortunately, Niklaus got caught in the leg twice before his bullet could end the bastard.

Judy remembered how his heart jumped into his throat. The only question in his mind at that time was, "What was he going to tell Reina? Her husband almost died while saving him?"?The guilt had been killing him since last night.

Thankfully, the royal medical wing had survived the bombing and Niklaus was rushed over there where surgery was commenced immediately with what's left of their equipment - the wing was overflowing with injured soldiers and resources were scarce. Judy had threatened the doctors, either they saved Niklaus' leg or they could say goodbye to their heads.

Reina's gaze traveled down to Niklaus' leg and her gaze finally rested on his bandaged right leg and a soft sob escaped her lips.

She fired at Judy, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Because you wouldn't let me," He retorted, "The first time I tried to tell you about Niklaus, you fainted right away and have been unstable until now. What do you expect me to do?"

Reina realized at once it had been her fault as well. She had concluded everything when she didn't see her husband with Judy giving her that sorrowful look. Gosh, she had almost endangered her offspring in the womb because of her misunderstanding, Reina facepalmed mentally.

"Don't worry, baby, it's not your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's me for not keeping up to my promise of coming back in one piece,"

Reina went over to him and squatted down by his side, "Does it hurt that much?" she took his large hand, caressing her thumb over it.

"Not anymore," He grinned at her which made it harder for Reina to decipher if he was telling the truth or not. Just not to make her worry, she knew he would not tell her.

It made her feel guilty, she was his wife and yet she couldn't do anything to alleviate his pains. So she took his hand and kissed it, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you return healthy,"

"I know," Niklaus said with a reassuring smile. It had been just a day but it had been so goddamn long without her by his side. Above all, he was with her now.
