Steele's Fifty Shades Darker **Book 2** (Completed)

Chapter 9

Christiansen Grey

I saw, myself laying on the sidewalk. I just had to save Anabelle. He aimed straight at her heart and I had to do something. Ryan wanted to jump in front of the bullet but I just blocked his way and the bullet hit my left shoulder painfully, it hurt like a mother. Sawyer and Ryan got to me first and then Anabelle's face hovered over me like an angel. I remember waking up in a really fast moving car and I lay on her lap. I saw her cover in so much blood, I just had to ask her.

'No, baby it is not my blood.' She told me as tears streamed down her pretty face as her hands pressed so hard on my sore shoulder. Then we got to the hospital and strange faces looked down at me, as they were wearing white coats. Are these doctors? I looked around the room and saw Anabelle's face in the one corner. 'Anabelle!' I called to her over the loud noise in the room.

'I'm right here baby.' She said walking over to my head and took my good hand.

'Oh, Anabelle. Are you okay my love?'

'Yes, I am fine. Now you just lay still and let the doctors do their work, okay. I love you so much and you were so brave to save me this afternoon.' She told me and smooth my hair back as new tears filled her eyes. She leaned in and gave me a quick kiss.

'I love you too, princess.' I slurred as they sedate me. My eyes felt so heavy and I heard something about the x-ray department as they rushed me out of the room I was in. I jolt awake and sat up as my shoulder ache so badly. Nurse Nora that was hired by Anabelle to take care of me sat in an armchair watching over me.

'Mr. Grey? You look like you are in pain, I'll get you something for it.'

'Thank you, nurse Nora. Yes, I am in a mountain of pain.' I confirmed as she got up and busy herself with the medication box she brought along with her. 'Where is Miss Steele?'

'She said if you need of her that she will be in her study working.' Nurse Nora said handing me two tables and a half a glass of water.

'Oh, thank you.'

'Shall I go get her for you, sir?' She asked me.

'No, it is fine. She needs to work. But I am really hungry.'

'Great I'll go get Mrs. Jones to make you something.' She said and walked off, leaving me alone in the room as the early afternoon sun shines over a partly cloudy Seattle. Saw gray clouds roll in and then it got real dark and rain set in. Mrs. Jones brought me a nice chicken soup since I haven't eaten much at the hospital and since I am back at home, not to upset my stomach too much with heavy food too quickly. The soup and bread were delicious. I was almost done with my food when Anabelle came and sat on the bed beside me and crossed her legs watching me eat.

'It is really nice to finally see you eat again, Mr. Grey.' She said smiling her lob sided smile at me. It always makes me go weak at the knees when she smiles her carefree smile at me.

'This is really nice and Mrs. Jones has yet again outdone herself. There has been a burning question I wanted to ask you Miss Steele and I don't know how you would react to it?'

'You know Mr. Grey, you can always ask me anything. What is your question?'

'Have they caught Mrs. Hyde yet?'

'No, the police almost had her once but she escaped them and disappeared into thin air. Why do you ask sir?'

'I was just wondering. And the other matter what you asked me in the hospital if I wanted to press charges on Sam Ferreira? The answer is no ma'am. I don't want to press charges, I just want him to get the help he needs.' I told her and her whole face changed as she leans in and gave me a kiss.
