Married To Freddie Highmore

Chapter One

MY DAD WAS currently located in the hospital ward. When Aunt Shirley called while I'm at the school saying Dad got hurt in a car accident, I picked up my bag and rushed off.

When I opened the door of the ward, the scene that laid in front of my eyes shocked me. Dad was lying on the hospital bed, his head and chest covered in bloody bandages, with several wires protruding from his body.

I didn't think it could be this bad; I expected some minor injuries since he has been involved in a car accident before, and managed to go home by himself.

I treaded to his side, and held his hand, seeing that he is conscious.

"Dad, what happened? I'm worried sick," I said, frowning at him.

He suddenly started to cough really hard. The monitor on his right showed bold red lines.

"Dad? Dad!?" I stood up. "I'm calling a doctor!" I was about to rush outside when he grabbed my hand.

"No, no. Stay," he pleaded. I have no idea why I obeyed him in this situation, but something told me to. "I want you to have a beautiful future. Marry, have kids-live a peaceful life. I want you to promise me. . ."

Tears started flowing down my cheeks, blurring my vision and staining my glasses. Dad's voice is getting weaker by the second.

"Promise me, that you will marry the man that I know. A kind, responsible, young man that you would be happy with. His name is Alfred Highmore. Go to Linda's house. She will tell you everything you need to know." He coughed again, a deep, painful cough, "Promise me."

I have no idea why I obeyed him, but something inside me told me to. Nurses started to file in.

"I promise!" I whisper-yelled, choking.

He smiled at me, "I love you, Margo."

"You need to leave the room, Ma'am," a nurse told me quickly. The doctor arrived at the door, fastening her gloves.

"I love you, too." Dad smiled at me one last time before fluttering his eyes closed. A nurse guided me out of the room and I followed hesitantly.
