Detective's Love Case

Chapter 31

Jaehwa's POV

It's been a year since Kimora was discharged from the hospital. She still had a long road to recovery but was doing very well. She gained full mobility of her right arm again and was able to hold herself up when sitting. We still needed to work on her legs, but they were improving every day. Today, I was driving her to Physical Therapy. She sat on the passenger's side, talking on the phone.

"Yes, mom... I know... I know... We are doing fine... Yes, we're actually heading to the place right now... Yes... Ok... Yes, I'll tell him... Ok...Ok...Bye... Yes, I love you both... Bye-bye. Oh my gosh, she never stops talking. Oh, by the way, she says Hi and that she sent a box of that coffee you like."

"Yes! That coffee was so good."

She chuckled and placed her hand on mine.

*After PT

Kimora walked out on her new pair of crutches. She still struggled but was able to walk.

"Look at you, babe. Walking on your own."

"Oh, shut up, Dummy."

She walked over and gave me a kiss. Helping her back into the car. I set our new destination for dinner. We arrived at a famous Samgyupsal restaurant. I helped her out of the car and into the restaurant, where I took her shoes off for her and guided her to a table. Assisting her down to the floor, I stretched her legs out under the table and seated myself on the other end. Placing her feet in my lap, I called for service.

"We would like samgyupsal, two orders of soonduba jijgae, and a bottle of soju."

"You're wife is very beautiful and lucky to have a loving husband like you."

"Umm... we're not..."

"I know, and I'm lucky to have her."

"I'll be back with your order."

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"Well, one day, you'll be my wife."

I saw the blush creeping up her face as she sipped on her water. After our meal, we drove back to the apartment.

"Ugh, I want to take a bath. I hurt and smell."

I quickly helped her get out of her brace than ran some bathwater. Adding her favorite bath salts and foaming bath, I walked back into the room. I helped her strip out of her clothes and led her back to the bathroom. Once in the tub, I scrubbed her skin, washing away the daily dirt and grim. After she was scrubbed down, I stripped out of my clothes and joined her. Sliding in between the tub and her body, I shimmed my way in. She was between my legs, and her back was pressed to my chest. I massaged her hips as she took a nap, then moved to her legs. While she napped, I reached over to grab my pants. Grabbing the small box from the pocket, I opened it to reveal a small diamond ring. I lifted her left hand and slipped it on without waking her. After a minute or two, I called her.

"Kimora"

She hummed a response and answered with her eyes closed

"Do you love me?"

"With all my heart."

"Do you love being with me?"

"Of course."

"Can you place your left hand in my right hand."

With her eyes still closed, she lifted her hand and placed it in mine.

"Look how small your hand is compared to mine."

"Of course it's smaller. I'm a..."

She sat up. I sat up behind her as she covered her mouth. I placed my arms around her waist as she sat confused about the situation.
