Daisy's P.O.V.

"Daddy, it must be hurting you so much." Hope sobs, sitting beside Luke on the hospital bed, and I stand behind her.

"No, princess. Daddy is fine." Luke wipes her tears with his thumb. "Don't cry."

This was the reason I hadn't let Hope meet Luke for two days. I knew she would cry, and seeing her tears would break Luke's and my heart. She can't bear to see her favourite people in pain. But she had been begging to see her daddy, and I couldn't keep them apart any longer.

Luke is recovering fast, and he'll be discharged from the hospital within a week. Seeing him injured breaks my heart too, but I know I have to be strong for him.

"But you look hurt, Daddy." Hope sniffs. "Hope can't see you like this." She pouts sadly at him.

Luke glances at me, and I can see the pain in his eyes from seeing our daughter so worried. I blink at him in reassurance.

"Hopi, Daddy is just a little injured." I place my hands on her shoulders and squeeze them slightly. "He will be back to playing with you in no time."

She turns towards me and hugs me, burying her face in my belly. "I can't see Daddy like this, Mommy."

As I ruffle Hope's hair, Luke and I exchange a concerned glance. Suddenly, Luke's eyes light up as if an idea has struck him, and my eyes narrow in confusion.

He gives me a reassuring smile before turning his gaze towards Hope and placing his hand on her back. "Hope, Daddy and Mommy want to share some good news with you."

Hope immediately pulls away from me and turns towards Luke, her eyes gleaming. "What good news, Daddy?"

What good news is he talking about? I stare at him, baffled.

Luke looks at me through the corner of his eyes and smiles. "Your Mommy and Daddy are going to get married soon," Luke tells her in a cheerful tone.

Butterflies flutter in my stomach.

For two days, I was so busy taking care of Luke that I completely forgot that I'm going to become Luke Anderson's wife again—the man I've loved with every fibre of my being since I discovered the true meaning of love.

I still find it hard to believe that the person who once saw me as nothing more than trash now holds me as the most precious person in his life.

However, now I have decided to let go of the past, which caused me pain for five years and embrace the beauty of my present.

"What? Marriage? You mean you two will become husband and wife, right, Daddy?" Hope enquires, staring at us with curiosity in her blue eyes.

"Yes, Hopi." I nod, gently holding her chin with one hand and tucking her hair behind her ears with the other.

"Wow! Mommy and Daddy will be a couple!"She exclaims, clapping her hands excitedly. Thanks to Luke, a smile finally spread across our daughter's face, and he couldn't have shared the news at a better time.

She climbs down the bed and rushes to the sofa before jumping on it, singing. "Mommy and Daddy will be a couple... Hope is over the moon."

Luke and I exchange warm smiles as we admire her. I glance at Luke and murmur, "Thank you," grateful that he lifted our princess's spirits so effortlessly. He takes my hand and places a soft kiss on my knuckles, his eyes locked on me with affection.

Five Months Later

I sit in front of the mirror, clad in a white wedding gown, with my hair elegantly tied up in a bun with a middle parting. This is the second time I'm preparing to marry Luke. However, everything has changed now. Initially, I was merely a woman Luke sought to exact revenge upon. Now, he wishes to marry me to spend the rest of his life proving his deep love for me.
