His Wife (Slow Update )

JJuvia's POV

I woke up holding my head. My head hurts a bit. I looked at my surroundings. Everything is in an egg-white color. It looks like I'm not in my room. Where am I?

I looked down at my lap and realized that I'm wearing a hospital gown. Oh. What just happened? I can't remember anything.

"Thank Mavis, you're awake!" A girl with pink hair entered the room and hugged me tightly.

"Meredy... I can't...breathe..." I mumbled and she giggled.

"What happened to Juvia? And who brought her to the hospital?" I asked her. I'm hoping that it's Gray. Maybe he does care about me.

"Of course, it's me! Who else will bring you here?" Meredy placed her hands on her hips, "You gave me a spare key to your house, right? So I went there, hoping to surprise you with some cake but apparently, I was the one who ended up getting surprised. I found you on your kitchen floor, unconscious. I tried calling out to Gray, but he doesn't seem to be around. I didn't find his car parked in front when I arrived, anyway. So I took you here, and the doctor said you fainted because of stress and lack of energy. He said you might've not been eating enough. But seriously, Juvia?! Can you please take care of yourself more from now on?"

I sighed in disappointment. When will my husband care for me? When I die? I feel so unwanted.

————————

"What?!" Meredy exclaimed. I told her the whole story of what transpired between me, Gray, and his slut. "He had the nerve to bring a bitch to your house and he really believed in her more than you! He really is stupid!"

Meredy took in a deep breath to calm herself and continued, "You know what, Juvia? You should really leave him. He's cheating and he's not even trying to hide it at all from you." Meredy exclaimed.

I shook my head. "No, I can't."

"But Juvia, you—what is this?" She frowned and she quickly grabbed my arm.

"Did he hurt you?" She said sharply as she took a closer look at my arm.

"A-Ah, t-this. I g-got t-thi—"

"You're lying to me again! Juvia, please... Stop. Just stop it! He's not only hurting you psychologically but now, he's also doing it physically! That's the last straw! Let's go to the police!" She hollered.

"Juvia can't give up! He's my husband and Juvia loves him even if... even if—"

"Even if he's turned into a monster?" Meredy clicked her tongue and held my hand, "The Gray you loved before is no longer the same man you have at your house. He wants you to leave him, I'm sure of it. So, might as well make that trip to a lawyer worthwhile. Let's slap him with a divorce and a criminal charge."

"Meredy, he was just blinded by his anger. Juvia's sure if he accepts the truth—"

"That's the point Juvia! It's been seven months! He didn't even give you a chance to be heard. So, he'll just keep hurting you. For Pete's sake, Juvia! I want to remind you, there's a tumor in your head that could potentially kill you if Gray doesn't beat you to it. So please Juvia, no more. It's time to choose yourself."

I know what she's trying to say but... deep in my heart, I know that I am still so deeply in love with Gray-sama. I can't just shake this feeling away, no matter what he did to me.

"I'm sorry, Meredy, but... Juvia won't give up on Gray-sama."

Meredy threw her hands up in the air and paced around the room, taking in big breaths.
