Sebastian's eyelids fluttered open, his vision blurred as he tried to make sense of his surroundings. The sterile scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, and the soft hum of medical equipment filled his ears. As his gaze focused, he saw the translucent glass separating the room revealing a glimpse of the hallways of the hospital And there, perched on a bench, sat Damian, his figure outlined by the dim hospital Lights.
A mixture of relief and curiosity coursed through Sebastian's veins as he took in the sight. His legs were wrapped in pristine white bandages, rendering them immobile, while his head and one arm were similarly wrapped in protective coverings. With a sudden surge of realization, he tried to move his limbs, only to be met with a profound absence of sensation. Panic surged within him as the gravity of his situation settled like a heavy weight on his chest.
Just as Sebastian'
Hey," Maya said, her voice trailing off as she neared Rose, her footsteps slow and deliberate. Rose looked up from her phone, her eyes briefly meeting her mother's before returning to the screen of her phone."Hey," Rose replied, her voice lacking its usual enthusiasm. The corners of her lips twitched into a faint smile, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared."Sorry I kept you waiting," Maya continued, her voice tinged with a mix of exhaustion and affection. "All these kids, you know? They're relentless, always demanding what they want, never giving you a moment's rest."Maya settled down beside Rose, her gaze fixed on her daughter's face, searching for any sign of distress. Concern etched deep lines on Maya's forehead as she waited for a response. This was the case the last time she saw Rose she hadn't had a genuine reason to smile since her wedding, she now had a constant outlook of
Is it me, or did you just grin, Rose?" Maya asked, perplexed by the sudden change in Rose's facial expression. They had never spoken about Sebastian before. The last time they did, Rose deliberately kept some things to herself, and she knew. She also knew that he had hurt her.I don't know, Mum," Rose said, her voice filled with uncertainty. The direction of her emotions had become a labyrinth, and she felt lost within its tangled web. She raised her trembling hands to her head, fingers combing through her tousled brown hair, allowing a cascade of curls to spill around her face in intricate patterns."We just had a time out, Mother, and I can't make sense of it all," Rose continued, her frustration palpable. Conflicting emotions swirled within her, creating a storm that threatened to consume her sanity. She searched for answers, desperately seeking clarity amidst the chaos. After
It's true," Rose said, her voice trembling, as she instinctively covered her mouth with her hands. Her eyes darted around the room, her mind racing with a mix of fear and urgency. "I better go."Maya, Rose's mother, looked at her with concern etched on her face. She could sense the gravity of the situation and wanted to offer support. "Who was it, Rose?" Maya asked, her voice filled with worry, as Rose began to hastily gather her belongings, preparing to leave.Rose paused for a moment, trying to compose herself amidst the chaos of her thoughts. "It wasn't someone that I've heard of before," she finally replied, her voice quivering. "He said his name is Damian. I think he's someone from the hospital."A wave of anxiety washed over Maya as she processed the information. She couldn't bear the thought of her daughter facing another loss, what it'll do to her. "I'm coming with you,"
Damian stood outside, his fingers fumbling nervously with his phone. Waves of anxiety washed over him as he pondered his grave mistake. How could he have misjudged so gravely? The person he had just called was definitely not the one he intended to reach. The weight of his error bore down on him, causing him to bow his head and run his hands through his luscious, ebony locks. As he lifted his hair, it cascaded through his fingers, the strands dancing in the air as if he were a model posing for a photoshoot. In that moment, anybody could easily mistake his worry for a captivating display of elegance and confidence.His fine, dominating body radiated an aura that was impossible to ignore. His alluring good looks had a magnetic pull on those who saw him. Damian was in a state of turmoil after making a recent mistake and talking to Ivy instead of Rose. He was aware of the possible upheaval he had unintentionally started. As h
Heart pounding, Ivy pushed open the door labeled "Room 79" and stepped inside, her hopes soaring high. The soft glow of dimmed lights bathed the room in a tranquil ambiance, revealing a spacious suite with plush furniture and tasteful decor. Her gaze immediately fell upon the figure lying motionless on the bed, hidden beneath a thin white sheet.Without a second thought, Ivy rushed forward, her footsteps muffled by the carpeted floor. Adrenaline surged through her veins as she thought about the imminent reunion with Sebastian. She wanted to by all means see his face, to hold his hand, and to try to relive those moments that they spent together, and hopefully bring them back.But as she neared the bedside, a hand shot out from the shadows, gently but firmly grasping her arm. Startled, Ivy turned her head to find a shocked nurse standing beside her, her eyes filled with questioning and a confused look .Who are you, Miss?" She
I called you earlier," Damian repeated, his gaze fixed on Rose."Yes!" she replied, her tone slightly exasperated. "I heard you the first time.""I'm sorry," Rose apologized, her voice tinged with weariness. "It's been a long and confusing day."Damian nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. He could see the signs of exhaustion etched boldly across Rose's face, realizing that they both shared the burden of a confusing day."Is he okay?" Rose inquired, looking directly at Damian. "You're probably his doctor, right?""Oh, no... no," Damian chuckled lightly, the smile lingering on his face. Internally, he wondered why he was smiling so much..He composed himself, straightening his posture and adjusting his expression to appear calm and collected. "I'm his friend," Damian started with a reassuring tone, his voice steady and confident. "And he's okay. He came out of surgery a few hours ago, and it wasn't t
Sebastian's piercing gaze lingered on Rose, his eyes seeming to search for something within her. Rose, feeling the weight of his stare, couldn't help but shift nervously in her seat. She had been filled with worry and concern ever since she had received the news of Sebastian's accident. Now, as she sat in front of him, her heart raced, unsure of how he would react to her presence, especially for the fact that she didn't find out in time. She was more concerned about his well-being than what his reaction would be.With a forced smile on her lips, Rose mustered up the courage to speak. "Sebastian, how are you feeling?" she asked, her voice quivering slightly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took in the sight of his bandaged body, a blunt idea of what danger he might have faced.Sebastian, known for his sarcastic demeanor, responded to Rose's emotional outburst with a dry remark. "Oh, I'm just peachy," he retorted, hi
Rose stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock as the doctors rolled Sebastian away. She was momentarily paralyzed, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty. The chaotic scene was overwhelming, and she felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.In the midst of the commotion, Rose's trembling legs carried her to the nearest available seat, which happened to be beside Damian. Seeking some kind of support, she sat down, her hands still shaking uncontrollably. Damian,Ivy, who had been sitting beside prisca, stood up with a smirk on her face and started walking towards them. Understanding the tension that could arise, Damian tried to discourage Ivy from approaching Rose, knowing her tendency to provoke conflict. He reached out to grab Ivy's arm gently, attempting to steer her away from Rose.However, Ivy wasn't ready for anyone to tell her off just yet as she shook off Damian's grasp, her eyes fixated on Rose.
