«Take care of the drunk, maybe he’ll marry you!» — shouted the senior nurse. But no one could imagine WHAT would happen in a minute…
David took a step forward, his dark eyes looking straight into her soul. Emily, he said in a low, slightly hoarse voice. She held her breath.
“You returned?” Her voice trembled. He smiled. “Yes, and I hope forever.”
And before she had time to understand what was happening, he knelt down on one knee. The corridor held its breath. Emily covered her lips with her palm, her heart pounding loudly in her ears…
David took out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. On the soft velvet lay an elegant ring with a thin platinum rim and a shining stone. He looked at her firmly and confidently.
“I thought for a long time, Emily. But understood one thing, I do not want life without you.” She froze.
“You saved me, you changed me, you taught me to see the world differently.” He took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became softer. “Become my wife!” Someone shouted.
Someone gasped. And then? The corridor exploded with applause. The nurses who teased her all these months, now openly wiped their eyes, wiping tear-streaked faces.
Even the orderlies, who were usually indifferent, smiled. Doctors nodded to each other, and even Susan Thompson could not hide the instantly surged emotions. She hastily turned away, but Emily managed to notice the gleam in her eyes.
But all this was somewhere in the background. Because the only thing that mattered now — is he. His eyes — full of hope.
His warm hand, extended to her. His words, from which everything inside contracted from emotions. Emily took a deep breath, and her lips trembled in a smile.
Yes. The corridor exploded with applause again. Someone even clapped louder, and someone shouted.
Bitter. Emily burst into laughter, and David, rising, carefully put the ring on her finger. She looked at him, at his sincere, full of relief smile, and felt that now is the most important moment in her life…
“Thank you,” — he whispered, pressing her to himself. And at this moment Emily understood finally. All this was not accidental.
Their meeting was not just a coincidence. He was her destiny. Emily could not even imagine that her life would turn exactly this way.
She came to the hospital to just do her job, help people and be useful. But fate decided otherwise, giving her a meeting that changed everything.
And what do you think, did Emily deserve her happiness? How would you act in her place? And could you imagine that a random meeting can lead to something so important?
