Chapter 20Lauren could feel Mr Mendez looking at her, as she sat at the back of the Limo, while the driver, drives them to God knows where. She could tell, he doesn't like what his son was doing, but he doesn't know how to stop him, because he is also involved in the act of deceiving him. She told them from the begining not to lie to him, but doctor Carter thinks it will drive him crazier. Now that he knows the truth, isn't he more normal than he had been weeks ago? The driver took a turn into the woods, and she became scared. Hope it isn't what she is thinking, she feared that Lucious will hurt her wherever it is they were taking her, and no one will stop her, because so far, no one have stopped him from hurting her. She tapped her phone to call her friend Pamela, without saying anything, she just wanted her to listen, Incase, she never comes back, or she goes missing, Pamela, would know what happened to her.When she was sure, Pamela had picked the call, she summoned courage and
Getting his hands off her, was almost impossible, even though they have been married for years, whenever he is with her, it feels like they just started a few minutes ago. Lucious doesn't mind, having a family with Sydney. If sex is the only way one could have a baby, they do that all the time, for he is super active, and he loves having sex so much, that he couldn't stay a day, without it. Looking at Sydney from the corner of his eyes, he could tell, that she is very happy about going to the Beach, while he is aesthetic, because he won't be able to get enough of her, but unknown to him, that Sydney, also seem to have a secret to unvail to him. She was avoiding meeting his eyes, for fear, that her eyes, might give her away, but Lucious knows exactly how to get her to look at him. He slipped his hands under her skirt, and she giggled, but still did not look at him. Lucious moved his hands further, until, he could feel a lacy material. Sydney knew she won't be able to act all stron
"Why won't the world just let Lucious Mendez and Sydney be? Pamela Hill, a nurse in the Panacea psychiatrist hospital says, dropping the daily news paper on the table, so that Lauren fonder could see it."You and this Lucious guy again? I think you are actually the one that would not let them be, you speak about him all the time".She smiles, pulling the seat to sit opposite her."But it's hard to stop talking about him, when he is super cute". She confessed, then she added.Even at that, they should still let him be, I don't know why they think something is going to go wrong between them?"The world still look at Lucious, the multi billionaire as a womanizer, they don't want to accept that he has changed". Lauren says, going over a few more files, setting them in their rightful place."I too, sometimes feel it is hard for a known womanizer like Lucious Mendez to just repent, I feel something is wrong".She places a finger on her lip as if thinking of what she feels is actually wrong.
Lauren heard the sound of the siren bringing in a wounded person, but she didn't get up, since the emergency ward is not her section. She was still angry about the rejection of her Houston application. She have decided to deposit all her savings to the hospital for her mother's surgery, when suddenly the door to her office flung open again, and Pamela walked in.This time, she looks like she have been chased by all the animals in the zoo, and though the hospital is very airy, she was sweating." Holy Mother of God! Lauren, you won't believe it". She exclaims, trying to catch her breath."Calm down, it can't be all that bad? Lauren says, not knowing why her friend is looking like the worst has just happened to her."Lucious Mendez and Sydney". She couldn't continue, she stopped half way, holding her heart, as though it had been ripped off.They are the ones that have been brought in, they were involved in an accident, I am scared they are not going to make it". She cries."Hey! Calm d
The news about the death of Sydney had already spread like wild fire. How it went out within minutes, was surprising.Lucious's parents sat close to their son, wondering how they will present the news to him, when he finally opens those eyes.Though the doctors have warned that no one should tell him about Sydney yet, for fear that he might loose it, but they also know that keeping it from him would be very hard, for she will be the first person he will ask after.While his eyes are closed, he has been calling her name, he seem to be having nightmares about what had already happened, or the scene kept replaying in his mind.Hours into the day, Sydney had been taken to the morgue, and everywhere had calmed down a bit, Lucious Mendez finally opened his now pale blue eyes, that doesn't seem to do justice to his cute face anymore.He looked around him and found his mother resting her head on the bed. He could see that his hands were connected to drips and cannulas for injection around hi
As soon as her mother was brought out to see her, she got up to meet her half way, before leading her to a seat."Mother you look better than the last time". She says, hiding her tears."I actually feel better than the last time". Her mother replies, pulling her face to look at her.You don't have to cry if you have not been able to raise the money, I believe something great will happen soon". Hearing her speak that way always bring tears to her eyes."Mother, I have decided to use my insurance, you will be admitted to Panacea, you will have the surgery done there, and even if my savings aren't enough, I have been told that I could work without pay for years, till I finish paying up"."I cannot let you do that. What about your school in Houston? Are you giving up on that? Do you want to remain just a nurse, when you can be so much more? She couldn't hide her tears anymore, she let it drop, soaking her white blouse. Whenever she visited, she would always promise herself that she will b
"Lauren Fonder, You are wanted, immediately at the senior doctor's office".Lauren and Pamela heard the inter-call, and she exchanged knowing glances with Pamela, who just resumed. "Did something happen? She asked Rhetorically. They hardly call her to the office, they usually call her head or her superior, but calling her, was scary. She brace herself and went to answer doctor Carter, who hardly smile at her, let alone, take a second look at her. But she sure admires him, for his intelligence.Pamela also encouraged her to move without fear. Since she haven't done anything wrong. practicing nurses, are usually summond into his office, to get oral query most times, but she have never been called in, because she have always been very careful and calculative. She went to the doctor's office, thinking this was a private meeting, or a case that have to do with her, not upgrading her studies and all, because she have heard the board will be visiting soon, and when ever they visit, they r
Doctor Carter walked them to the door, but by the time he came back, to the office, Lauren had left his office. He saw her leaving, but didn't bother calling her back, it is best, she goes home and think about what she have been told, that is a big opportunity for her.Lauren got back to her office and Pamela was already dying to hear what happened."Why do you look so gloomy? She asked, but Lauren didn't answer."Is it about upgrading and the board, that will be visiting soon? She asked again, but Lauren didn't answer still, she kept looking into space, lost in her own thought."Well I know what will cheer you up. I heard Mendez will be brought to our ward, I just pray I am assigned to be his personal nurse, I will do everything in my power, to make sure he is healed and there will be no paparazzi in sight. I will fight for him". Lauren looked up at her friend, but said nothing."The world won't just let a grieving man grieve in peace. I mean, they follow him everywhere. I don't e
