Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

At the hospital, no one would give him a definitive reply as everyone was scrambling about from one emergency to another.

He tried to get information from the desk nurse but she kept telling him repeatedly that she had no news on Amy.

It was all so heart wrenching and the worst part was Edward didn't know how to comfort Gu Zhou.

The only other time Edward had been in this kind of situation was when his father died; Edward didn't do emotions because that was how he had been trained.

It seemed like Amy brought it the worst qualities in him. Finally, after what felt like hours someone came out to talk to him.

"My name is doctor Archie Carlensky." The man said.

"Edward Wu, I'm miss Lee's boyfriend and this is her brother."

The doctor gave Gu Zhou a tight smile before looking back at Edward; the man looked tired and worn out, Edward pitied him a bit.

"Well Mr Wu, you got there just in time to save your girlfriend. The knife didn't lacerate her heart but a tissue beside it so the damage was minimal.

Whoever struck her didn't do it with enough force to cause a lot of damage."

Edward sighed, his body finally relaxing just a little bit.

"She's going to be fine, sour and swollen for weeks but she'll be alright. It might also take some time for her to speak so please be patient with her." The doctor continued.

"I won't pressure her at all."

"Good, I will tell the police the same thing too. Miss Lee also suffered from head trauma due to the way she fell on the floor.

We expect it won't lead to any future problems but the swelling there should go down in a week. Dorothy will give you her medication regime and what she needs." f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

As the doctor spoke, a kind looking woman cane to stand beside him, a comforting smile on her face.

Edward hated hospitals by these people seemed to know what they were doing. When the doctor was done giving out instructions, he asked if they could go in and see Amy.

"Maybe tomorrow, for now she needs to rest." Dorothy replied.

"If you can inform her work about what happened, her family too."

"Work is covered, and we are all the family she's got."

Dorothy's smile grew even more compassionate as she turned to face Gu Zhou who had been silently crying.

"Hi sweetie, do you want a juice box or snack?" She asked him nicely.

Gu Zhou looked to Edward for permission. Edward was taken aback by the gesture; he had known the boy would warm up to him. Plus, now that his sister was indisposed Edward was all that he had.

"It's fine, you can go."

Edward's eyes followed them though, after all that had happened today and the previous week, he was not taking any chances where it concerned Amy and Gu Zhou.

Before leaving the hospital, he made sure to place some men to watch Amy discreetly. He didn't trust the patrol car the cops had kept outside or the one man that was to sit outside her door till she was released, the police always found a way to mess things up.

*****

The search for who attempted to murder Amy fills up Edward's time as he waits for the hospital to give the heads up and release Amy. His team is one of the best and it doesn't take them time before they have a list of suspects.

Even the police are yet to have one, Amy barely had enemies. Edward was just getting back from a security meeting when he met Viktor and the head of his research unit waiting for him in his office.

He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his jacket, his body missing the welcoming smile and scent of Amy.

She usually had a cup of coffee and a massage waiting for him after every stressful meeting; even before they had started dating. He missed her so much which only made his anger towards the person that had tried to kill her worse.

"Tell me you have something good for me." Edward said through gritted teeth.

"We have names." Viktor replied and opened the file in his hand.

He placed it on the desk before Edward and allowed him to read through. All the names were people that Edward was involved with; of course, this would be an attack on him.

Like he had said, Amy barely had enemies and he couldn't imagine anyone wanting to hurt her. One name stood out as bright as day and it couldn't be a coincidence that it was there.

Edward squeezed the paper in anger and looked at Viktor with bloodshot eyes. He had barely had enough sleep and was running on pure adrenaline.

"Get me Alexa Yang's coordinates now. I warned that little bitch but she wouldn't just listen."

Viktor and the research team leader were out the door in a flash, not wanting to piss their boss further by being tardy. Edward fumed, he knew he needed to calm down and think rationally but be was beyond being rational.

He was tired of Alexa always causing trouble for him and was finally going to put an end to the bitch. He didn't care what her death would cause, he just knew he had to do it.

It took a day for them to find her, and the second Edward was given her location he set out to find her. Typical that she would be someone where she could get all the attention she wanted and boss people around.

The spoilt brat had rented an entire saloon for the day. Who made their hair in an entire day?

"Clear the room." Edward Todd one of his men as he walked to where Alexa was seated.

"Edward, darling, you have finally come to see me."

Edward kept on walking till he came to a stop two chairs before her own. He sat down in the plush comfortable seat in front of one of the mirrors and swiveled it until he was facing her.
