Married with the Broken Hearted CEO novel Chapter 100

Since it hasn’t been announced yet that Chadwick and Adira aren’t a married couple anymore, Chadwick still has the right to play as her husband. And so, he and Falcon took turns watching Adira and waiting for her to wake up. 
It’s almost been two days already, yet Adira hasn’t woken up. 
As Chadwick watched her sleep, a faint sad smile drew on his lips. 
“You are sleeping for too long,” he whispered. “I wanted to tell you a lot about your father.” 
How Falcon almost collapsed, when he watched over her daughter without sleeping and when he was caught crying while praying for her fast recovery, Chadwick wanted to tell all of this to Adira once she woke up. 
All past years, Adira believed that her father did not have any affection for her. On which, Chadwick will testify as lies. Falcon loves her daughter, more than anyone in the world. 
Staring at Adira, Chadwick remembered last night when he and Falcon had a conversation while looking over Adira. 
“My world collapsed,” Falcon said while gawking at his daughter. 
Gradually, Chadwick looked at the old man sitting beside him. 
“When I heard that my daughter got into an accident, I thought I was gonna die. The helplessness and the fear I had when her mother died, they came back to me at once.”
Chadwick watched Falcon clenched his fists on his lap while he treasured every moment he spent staring at Adira. 
“I regretted everything,” Falcon added. “I should have told her the truth. That I don’t despise her, and I don’t want to avoid her. It was all because she suffered from PTSD that I had no choice but to stay away. Because seeing me will make her blame herself.” 
These are the answers that Adira was seeking for long years and decided to stop knowing at one time at a point. 
‘But even though she stopped looking at the answer, I am sure she will gladly accept it,’ Chadwick thought before he tapped the back of Falcon. 
Surprised to get a comfort from the young man, Falcon looked at Chadwick. 
“You will have a chance, father.” 
Once Adira woke up, Chadwick was convinced that there would be a chance for them to fix their relationship. All they need is to be honest, just how he did before. 
“So, please wake up,” Chadwick said, sighing. 
Promptly, his head throbbed in pain. He needs rest and sleep. He hasn’t been sleeping for almost two days, and he has no plan of sleeping, not until he can see her open her eyes. 
But fatigue is something that is hard to beat. Thus, he thought of washing his face in the comfort room. So, he did. But that did not help him. 
‘A coffee will aid.’ 
He was about to call Neil to bring him a cup of ice Americano, but he left his phone in his car. Therefore, Chadwick went back to his car to get his phone. But instead of calling Neil, he thought it would be faster to buy the coffee himself. 
Chadwick started the engine and buckled his seat belt. He promised to come back as soon as possible. Before driving, he leaned his back on the seat and took a deep breath. He cannot drive while he still feels dizzy. So, he shut his eyes. 
Blank. 
Squealing of the tires. 
His eyelids shook and his eyes opened again. All of a sudden, all his fatigue and dizziness washed away. 
‘What happened?’ he asked himself as his eyes went to the time clock of his car. 
Seeing the numbers which changed drastically, he realized that he had fallen asleep. 
“Sh*t. How many hours did I sleep?” 
Groaning, he roughly washed his face with his palms. He promised to come back as soon as possible but instead of driving away and buying coffee, he fell asleep instead. 
Thinking that it was not necessary to buy coffee anymore, Chadwick unbuckled his seat-belt. When he was about to get out of the car, his phone rang. 
His ringtone echoed loudly, as he set the volume to the fullest. 
He checked the screen of the phone and saw an unregistered number on it. Not hesitating, he answered the call. 
“Hello?” 
[“Mr. McElroy. This is the nurse looking over Mrs. McElroy. Just now, Sir, your wife has regained consciousness.”] 
All fatigue left him, and the adrenaline pumped into his blood. It kicked in, he was energized. Hastily, Chadwick got out of the car. 
The fast pace turned into a desperate run. 
He’s excited to see her as his heart beats so fast every stride he takes. Taking all his strength, he arrived in front of the hospital. But it wasn’t only him who stood before the door. 
Catching his breath, he looked at Geoffrey who also came after the long run.
“I heard that Adira…” Geoffrey murmured, he gulped first before continuing, “I heard that she regained her consciousness.” 
“I also came here because the nurse called me,” Chadwick said. 
While catching breath, they exchanged gazes. Then all of a sudden, they fought over who would enter first. 
Chadwick pushed Geoffrey away, and Geoffrey did the same. 
“Ahhh, let go! I came first!” Chadwick complained. 
“You’re lying in front of my face. I came first!” Geoffrey protested, pushing Chadwick. 
Chadwick held the doorknob and pushed the door open. But Geoffrey slapped his hand and so he let the knob go. 
“Ahhh!” Chadwick winced. 
As Chadwick stepped back, Geoffrey took the chance to enter. 
“Hey!” Chadwick shouted before he followed him inside. 
What’s the point of fighting whoever enters the place first? 
They are both entered at the same time. 
Anyway, it must be their will to be the first one who will see Addira. 
And as they went inside after having a little childish fight, which doesn’t match their age, they saw Adira sitting on the bed. 
With a bandage wrapped around her head, Adira was looking outside through the window. 
“Adira,” Geoffrey called, followed by Chadwick. 
“You’re awake.” 
Slowly, the lady turned her head to the two. As soon as she laid her eyes on their side, bright beams appeared on their lips.
Adira blinked and her lashes flattered as she gawked at the two handsome men who’s looking at her with teary eyes. She was the one who got hurt, but they looked as if they were the one who was hospitalized for a long time. 
“Are you okay now?” Geoffrey asked. 
“Can you really sit like that?” Chadwick worried, staring at her sitting posture on bed. 
Inside the silent room, Adira breathed sharply and the sound resonated. Next, she tilted her head and opened her lips. 
“Who are you?” 
The question echoed; it rang inside their ears. 
Did they hear her right? 
Adira does not know who they are? 
“A-Adira, why are you asking things like that?” Chadwick asked, stuttering, while Geoffrey was rooted in his spot. 
“Adira? That is my name?” she asked, rubbing her chin. 
A sudden dread hit their cores. They heard sounds like bird flapping its wings in panic, and those were they heart. 
A heavy feeling settled in Geoffrey’s stomach and his muscles turned rigid. 
If Adira is asking about their identity, then there’s only one reason for that. 
‘She lost her memories,’ Chadwick thought. Promptly, he felt lightheaded, and his skin was cold and sweaty. 
Standing there with stiffened posture, the two stared at Adira, who seemed lost her memories of them. 
They were just petrified and were taken aback. 
What will happen now that Adira cannot remember a thing? 
How about their memories together? Their past conversations? And the feelings that she is starting to learn? 
Will all that go to vain? 
“I heard from the nurse that she called my husband,” Adira continued, staring at Chadwick and Geoffrey whose faces lost their colors. “But two handsome men came at the same time.” 
“...” 
“...” 
“So, who is my husband among you?”
