A New Chance

Chapter 7

3 months later

I am sitting on the couch with Killian at my side. We have been together for 3 months and let me tell you that I am loving it. He has shown what it is to truly be in love and my am I head over heels for him. He kisses the top of my head and smiles at me.

"So it's both our days off what do you want to do today?" I smile at Killian and shrug. "How about you two come here and help me clean this house," we hear my grandma say from the kitchen. We both laugh and get up. We walk into the kitchen and I look at the small TV and see Neal there.

I scoff. "Oh hey look baby there's your bastard husband." I nod and sit down. "What the hell is he doing?" My grandma sits down and grabs the remote and turns up the volume. "Defense Attorney Neal Cassidy is defending Famous Drug Dealer Jefferson..." I scoff as I grab the remote and turn off the TV.

"I don't give a damn about him, that's how he got all his money by defending criminals and not finding the truth." Killian sighs. "Love." I smile. "That is why I have an amazing man at my side now who spends his days saving lives." Killian smiles. I lean in and give him a kiss.

My grandma nods. "Yeah I know but let's watch and make fun of his sorry butt." I laugh. My grandma grabs the remote and turns it back on. The news lady continued talking about the case when the scene changed to breaking news. "Attorney Neal Cassidy has been shot 3 times in the back by Jefferson." I gasp as I stood up.

"He's been transferred to Mercy West Hospital in critical condition." Killian gets up. "I'll drive you there." I nod. "Honey why you all frazzled up, let his ugly butt die." I chuckle as I hear my grandma say this. "He may be a dirt bag, but sadly in the eyes of everyone else I'm still his damn wife." I look at Killian and he nods.

Killian and I get to his car and drive up to the hospital. Killian takes off his seatbelt and I stop him. "I think it's best I go alone." He gives me a weird look. "I want to be in there with you." I smile. "I know but this is bigger than all of us, I need to figure out what to do." He half smiles. "Ok love." I smile as I caress his cheek.

He gives me a big smile and I continued to smile. I lean in and give him a kiss. He deepens it and I let go. "Easy tiger, not now." He smiles. "Please take care love." I nod. "I will." I get off and Killian drives away. I sigh as I clutch my purse and made my way inside.

I get there and I see the slut that took my place arguing with some doctors. I walk up there and ask about Neal. "What the hell are you doing here?" I scoff and ignore her. "You have no business here, I am his wife Emma." I roll my eyes. "Shut up will you, you slut." She scoffs. "My name is..." "Don't care." That's when the doctor screams.

"Look doctor, Emma here has no right so like when will he die?" I gasp. "Who is his wife, legally?" I raise my hand. "Ok Mrs Cassidy, so if you would follow me?" I nod as I follow the doctor to his office. I walk in and I see another lawyer in there. "Mrs. Cassidy, I am so sorry for what happened to your husband." I nod.

"Will he survive?" The doctor sighs. "The bullets hit his spine, if he wakes up he will be paralyzed." I gasp as I sit down. "So he won't be able to walk?" He nods. "He won't be able to walk or move his hands." I gasp. "Now if he doesn't wake up, you are entitled to everything he owns." I nod at the lawyer. "I thought I wasn't entitled to anything." He nods. "If he dies you get everything." I nod.

"Well let's hope he lives." The doctor nods. "Do you want to go see him even though he's asleep?" That's when the phone goes off. The doctor answers it and tells me that Neal had woken up. "You want to go see him, he woke up." I nod. We walked out and Neals mistress is there. "I want to see my husband." I roll my eyes and follow the doctor.

They escort us to his room and I see him barely waking up. "Will he be ok?" I over hear the slut ask the doctor. "He will be paralyzed, so he will need to be taken care of." She scoffs. "I can't take care of him, I just need my money, so where is it?" She asks the attorney and he laughs.

"You are not entitled to anything miss." She gasps. "I am the mother of his children." He shrugs. "There is nothing in his will or any paper work that talks about you or said children." She shrugs. "Whatever I never loved him anyways." She stomped off and I chuckled.

I looked over at him and sighed. The doctor comes and takes out the breathing tube. "I can't feel my legs or my arms," Neal says trying to move. I sigh. "Well the bullets hit your spine, you're paralyzed," the doctor says and he starts to go crazy. "I can't be paralyzed!" He screams and that's when the doctor injects him with something.

In a matter of seconds he goes to sleep. "So Mrs. Cassidy, do you want us to take him back home?" I look at Neal and I wanted to let him rot here but I couldn't. He is going to suffer, and he will pay for what he made me go through. "Yes please and if you can by tonight." The attorney nods.

"Right away Mrs. Cassidy." I smile and nod. "Thank you." "Will you need any extra care?" I shake my head. "No I will take care of my husband." He smiles.  "Sounds good." I smile. Oh I will definitely be taking care of him.
