My Substitute Husband
Fracture Arms

Eric's POV. "Doctor, is everything okay?" I asked nervously standing beside the bed when he was checking Angeles's arm and she was biting her lips to endure the pain. "Mr. Erish, Her right arm is fractured. " After examining her hand, he told me the bad news which made me confused and warry at the same time. "What did you say??" I asked him again. " I think she broke her arm yesterday!" The doctor said while fixing the glasses in his eyes. He is our family doctor, so he knows us very well. "How did she not know if one of her bones was broken? Or she didn't feel any pain?" I asked the doctor rudely because I became so frustrated after hearing his statement but then I turned my eyes to Angela who was ignoring my gaze the whole time after the doctor came. "Did she really hide this from me?" I just thought in my mind and the next second I just asked her in a cold tone. "Angela, you have something to tell me? " I raised my eyebrows and stared at her. "Er. Erish, That was yesterday when thieves broke into our house. I was scared and just ran towards the study room in fear when my leg hit the table in the dark and I fell on my arm. Due to this, my arm was hurt. But there was only a little pain at that time. So, I thought the pain would go away in a day or two. " She explained with a guilty smile which made me angrier. "Is this fun for her? What if she hurt herself badly? Did she still didn't realize what the doctor said? " I just thought this in my mind and became more fierce. "What the hell is this?? Angela!!!!!" I yelled at her without stopping. "Are you a fool??? This sounds like a joke to you!!!" . "If you were hurt last night then why didn't you tell me about your injury when the doctor came last night to see me? Did you even realize how badly you can be injured????" I just shouted at her which made her body shivered and her eyes became moist. Seeing her upset face, I tried to cool down my mind. Actually, I'm not angry with her but with myself. This is all my fault
What if she didn't even tell me about her injury? What kind of husband am I, who could not even understand her pain even after staying by her side the whole night. She again hurt just because of me!! Because of my distance from her every time. Because of my ignor ance towards her. And making her wait every night. "Erish, I'm sorry!! I really didn't think it would reach this far. " Seeing her frightened face made me even angrier at myself. She is a lready in pain and I was shouting at her instead of supporting her. What ha ppened t o me??? . Why do I lose m y mind like this every time�?? . Suddenly the doctor coughe d between us. This is embarrassing. I just shouted at her in front of an outsider. How would she be feeling right now? That h er husband is treating her like this in front of others? . I clenched my fist in f rustration. "Erish, don't worry! I know as a husband you are worried about her health but I just checked he r arm, her injury is not big. She will be fine. You just need to take care of her. She all need s your support and love these days. " He said, placing his hand on my shoulder and I just nodded. "Thank you, do ctor!" . "Erish, one more thing! You have to take Angela to the hospital with me. "Doctor, what do you mean b y hospital??? . Just now you said she will be f ine!! So why hospital now??? " I just raised my voice in panic. "Yes, Doctor! You only said that I wil l be fine. Then why do I need to go t o the hospital?" She asked in worried
Seeing both the husband and wife asking questions like this, he sighed helplessly. "There is nothing to worry about but I need to see the x-ray and she will have to go to the hospital to get an X-ray don e. " Hearing him I became calm and she also sighed in relief. Along with the doctor, I went to the hospital with Angela and after two ho urs of checkup, both of us came back. Angela's right hand was now plastered. The doctor has instructed me to open the plaster after 2 we eks. Till then she will have to keep the plaster from getting wet and keep applying ointment from t ime to time. I took all the information well from the doctor so that I could take good care of her. I also warned Angela that she would not get up from the bed until her plaster was removed. And if she needs anything, I h ave told the servant-maid that they will bring her to the bed. Angela tried hard to stop me from doing all this. B ut I refuse her directly. I didn't tell my parents anything about last night's accident or about Angela's hand fracture today. Because I didn't want them to bother anymore. They are already worried about Erish's condition. Angela also refused to tell them about all this because she does n't want them to worry about her. I ordered the chefs to cook light food for her. And tol d them from today she will eat light food and she will n ot get any spicy food at all until she becomes healthy. This time I will take care of her in every way even if I need to forget my own rules. I will not make her suffer anymore. She hurt b ecause of me, so now it is my responsibility to make her happy in every way. But one thing I need to remind myself every second is t hat I'm not Erish but Eric. Because this is the best for Both of us and my future. I will never let a dilemma arise in front of her
