Love, Divorce and Everything else
Chapter 29: Found Love
Ryan arrived at the hospital around 11:30 AM to help with Myra's discharge. As he was trying to speak to the nurse, he suddenly saw Myra's father approaching him. He said hello, and Myra's father said, 'Son, you better come with me. Leave all this; this is not important.' Ryan's heartbeat increased as he worried whether Myra was okay. Suddenly, he bumped into Cynthia in the hallway towards Myra's room. She was crying. He asked, 'Are you okay?,' but she did not respond. He then entered Myra's room, where a few police officers and security guards were taking Myra's statement. Ryan didn't want to interrupt them and stood in a corner listening. Myra explained what had happened, Jack's presence, and his actions. Even though Ryan was silently standing, you could see anger building inside him: his face started turning red, his eyes reddened, and his hands and head started shaking as if he was about to burst any second. He then noticed how scared Myra was; her hands were trembling with fear, her voice was shaky, tears were rolling down her cheek, and she was finding it difficult to share what happened. He walked towards her, took her hand in his hand. For a second, Myra was in shock as she did not notice Ryan walking into the room or coming towards her because she was looking at the officers. She then turned her head towards Ryan, and they looked at each other for a moment. That was all Myra needed. She felt stronger, pressed Ryan's hand, smiled at him, and turned her head towards the officer with more confidence. Her hand and voice stopped shaking, and she stopped crying. For the entire time, she didn't let go of Ryan's hand. The police then turned to Ryan and asked who he was, and Myra interrupted before Ryan could say anything. She said, 'He is an amazing guy, an amazing lawyer, an amazing human being. He happens to be related to my ex-husband but is not like him,' and turned her head towards Ryan, looked into his eyes, and said, 'He is my amazing guy.'This is Ryan. I regret not meeting him first, but I look forward to seeing him every day in my life for the rest of my life. I want to tell him how sorry I am for mistreating him and I want to tell him I love him. Ryan couldn't believe his ears. He had been waiting to hear this for so long, and he kissed Myra. Myra had a tear rolling down her cheek, and Ryan wiped it away with his hand. He said, 'I promise you, I will never let you cry for any reason or be sad. I promise you, I will take care of Jack and make sure he never comes back to bother you.' The police officers interrupted them and said, 'Sir, we request you not to interfere with police work. We will check on this Jack guy. You two take care for now; we are leaving.' Ryan and Myra thanked the officers and security guards, and they walked out of the room. Myra couldn't take her eyes off Ryan. She kept looking at him, gently touched his face, and said, 'Ryan, I really do love you.' Ryan couldn't hold back his emotions, his eyes were moist, and a tear rolled down his face. He tried to say something, but he was too emotional. He attempted to look away as he didn't want Myra to see him cry. Myra held his face in her hands and said, 'It's okay, my love. I know we are going through some tough times. Instead of standing by you, I just made things more difficult by being angry and rude. We have a long fight ahead, but I believe in us and in you. We will overcome all of this and probably laugh about it in a few years.' Ryan looked at Myra and said, 'Thank you, my love. I love you very much. I need you to be strong, and the most important thing I need from you is to forget everything else and work on your recovery because I need you by my side. I'm sorry you had to go through this today. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been facing Jack. How dare he come close to you and threaten you.'Myra said, 'He scares me,' and he knows that. It's been years since we had been separated, and I thought I was strong. But suddenly, seeing him here in my room, I felt as if it was yesterday when he hit me. I couldn't do anything, and I felt helpless. Ryan said, 'Don't worry, Myra, we are not leaving you alone again.' They seem to have some contact at the hospital who might be keeping an eye on you. He seemed to be waiting for the right moment to find you all alone so he could threaten you. I swear if I have to kill Jack to keep him away from you, I will do that. But in the meantime, I promise I will never leave you alone. I want you to trust me and tell me everything he said and did when he was here.' Myra tried to recreate everything and every detail possible she could remember, but she was too upset. She started crying, and her hands were shaking. Ryan just hugged her, laid her down to rest, and Myra then said, 'One more thing: he kept asking me why Albert left everything to you, what is my game, and half of the things didn't make sense to me. Ryan, out of curiosity, asked Myra, 'My love, I don't know why Albert did what he did, but I will get to the bottom of it.' I did try to check with Albert's lawyer. You can give your half of the inheritance, but Emma can't. So, for peace of mind, we could always negotiate if they would settle for half because a court battle can take several years, and they won't see a penny until a decision is made. Myra then said, 'Ryan, I can give up the half, but isn't letting them win without a fight? Then, I'm sure in their greed, they are likely to come after Emma's share of inheritance and try to separate me from you. I can't live without you. I want to give away what I had been given to charity to help women and children who suffered a similar fate. I'm sure that's what Uncle Albert would have wanted.' Ryan had a smile on his face, and he hugged Myra, kissed her, and said, 'I'm proud of you, my love, and I am sure that will be the right use of the money. Trust me, I have enough for all of us, so you won't need a penny of Albert's money. But yes, I will do everything necessary and in my power to make sure Jack and Margaret don't get a dime. After all, it's time for them to start depending on someone else's hard-earned money and feed on them like parasites. Ryan then looked at Myra with a glow on his face and sparkles in his eyes and said, 'I want to ask you something,' but it needs to wait till I fix everything. But right now, let's get you ready and take you home, my darling.' And they smiled, and Ryan gently kissed Myra, and it was magical.
