Whatever the Nanny's explanation was, I couldn't pick it properly.

I understood what she said, but it's difficult to believe it.

Literally, Dave helped those strangers and they kidnapped him in return.

I couldn't wait for the morning to come. From the looks of it, those strangers’ destination is here.

They're coming to L.A. that's what the Nanny told me.

“Ethan! Ethan!” I left my suite and stood in front of the opposite suite, pounding the door incessantly.

Ethan didn't answer.

He wasn't sleeping, was he?

Tired of knocking, I pushed the door open and barged inside to find him fast asleep.

The heck!

“Ethan!” I shouted his name, my voice trembling with fear as I fought hard not to cry.

“Wake up, Ethan! It's an emergency!” I climbed onto the bed and shook him hard.

“What's wrong, Olivia?” Ethan groaned, turning his back to me. “It's late. Go to sleep.”

“Damnit! Wake up!” I didn't mean to, but punching him was the best way. “You have to wake up. It's an emergency!”

“Urgh! What now?” H

    I was in so much haste that I forgot to wear my mask.When I arrived at the hospital, the first set of nurses I bumped into recognized me instantly. “Oh my goodness, am I seeing things?”“Is that Dr. Olivia?” “Dr. Olivia, when did you come back?”“Maybe it's someone that looks like her. Dr. Olivia left many years ago, it shouldn't be her.”“But I heard that a mysterious Doctor performed the successful CABG surgery. Do you think it is her?”“Wasn't it Dr. Natasha from the Cardiology Department who did the surgery?”My mind was disoriented.My thoughts weren't on their words.I made my way to Grandpa Victor's ward, hurrying to bypass the curious eyes.The old man has now been transferred to the VIP Ward on the highest floor of the hospital.I needed a permit to go see him.

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    1. Happy Birthday

    “Let's divorce.”His cold and low voice rang out in the empty living room. I froze in the doorway, and my bag dropped on the floor.Inside the dimly lit room, the moonlight streamed through the curtains, reflecting on Theo’s intimidating presence.He sat at the coffee table, his unwavering gaze on me devoid of any warmth. I must have heard him wrong. Maybe I've imagined those words in my excited state.D- Divorce. No way.My heart beat uncomfortably, and my palms were suddenly sweaty as I bent to pick my bag from the floor.Trying so hard to convince myself that he didn't say that, Theo confirmed it further by knocking the divorce papers on the table. “You can ask for anything you want. I won't treat you unfairly.” His cold words numbed me.I glanced up, my initial shock now replaced by a feeling of realization.My eyes fell on the divorce papers, my vision blurred suddenly with tears that clouded my eyes.So this is it. Struggling to control my emotions as they threatened to bu

  • Divorced To Steal His Heart    2. A Miracle

    Since that day, I've been forcing myself to focus on work. I’ve been pushing myself not to think about what Theo said to me that day, trying to avoid everything that’s about to happen.The high concentration during the surgeries not only brings a sense of achievement but also helps me forget a lot of things. I've never been so inspired and motivated. I could go on like this with the hope that my mind will be completely numb eventually to all the horrible feelings I've had these past few days. But after a 4-hour surgery today, my body seems to have reached its limit.Unlike the usual fatigue I'd feel after an intense surgery, this is different.My head spun with dizziness, my forehead sweaty.My weakened calves made me unable to walk properly, and as I was about to lose balance, someone held me. “Dr. Olivia, are you okay?” A colleague helped me up.I don't even recognize who it is as I can't make out my surroundings properly, except for her familiar voice.“You’ve been working too

    My lips parted, yet, I could utter no words. Why is he here? Am I seeing wrong?Have I heard him wrong?Ever since I started working in this hospital, Theo has never stepped foot in it.For a moment, my heartbeat woke back to life. I almost believed that he was here for me…until,“Theo, Oh, you're finally here.” Jessica's light voice, weak and desperate, called out from the bed. “What took you so long, Honey?”She attempted to get down from the bed but ended up falling. The crashing sound echoed inside the ward as the IV stand fell in the process.Theo tore his gaze off me, an alarming look flashing in his eyes.In a split second, he was by her side, scooping her off the floor. “That's very dangerous. Be careful.”He gently carried her back onto the bed, his voice unusually tender and soft. “I'm seriously injured, Theo.” Jessica sobbed in his arms, burying her head in his chest. “I should have listened to you and not attend that event. My bones are weak, I can't even walk anymore

    The Next Day.The whole media is in an uproar and the entertainment news headlines are all about Theo Wellington’s sudden appearance at the hospital and his dramatic exit when he took the renowned model, Jessica, away. #Jessica Reid's Mysterious Boyfriend Revealed# "The mysterious wealthy man behind Jessica turned out to be Mr. Theo, the richest man in Los Angeles.”"It is said that they were soulmates and first lovers abroad, but were forced to break up due to family reasons.”“In the past few years, Jessica has worked hard to get promoted overseas in order to get the recognition of Theo's family and reunite with Theo as soon as possible."“Wow, such a touching love story!!! So inspiring!”“It's no wonder Mr. Wellington hasn't been sighted with other women before. He must love Jessica a lot!”“The moment Jessica fell ill, he went to the hospital immediately.

    The same way he'd carried her out of the hospital, Theo took Jessica out of the car as if she was a fragile vessel, his most valuable asset. He didn't put her down but proceeded to walk forward, our eyes meeting in the moment.Neither did Theo blink nor look any embarrassed. He wasn't fazed at the hospital, why would he now? Theo doesn't find it awkward, doting on Jessica in public. It just shows how much she means to him.The nausea I had been feeling since morning returned. My stomach turned, a strange sensation building up. Unable to handle it, I turned to look for the nearest washroom.“Tsk! You can't bear the sight of my brother and sister-in-law,” Tania snickered. “They're a perfect match and you're envious, right?”I ignored her words. On reaching the washroom, I threw up all the contents in my stomach, my heart racing as if it'd burst out of my chest. Shutting my eyes, I tried not to remember the scene I witnessed just now. However, I'm not used to seeing Theo being lov

    “Dr. Olivia, I know you don't like me. But, anyway, I want to thank you.” Jessica stepped forward, stopping a few inches from me.I thought she had left with Theo after dinner. Why did she follow me?What does she mean? “I don't get it,” I replied, expressing my confusion. “For what do you thank me?”If it's for treating her leg, I think we've long passed that. Jessica has already thanked me at the hospital. If she hadn't summoned me then, I wouldn't have been graced with the opportunity to realize that she was actually Theo’s first love. Wasn't it too coincidental?Was it merely fate?“First of all, I'd like to thank you again for saving my leg.” Jessica smiled. “Secondly, I appreciate that you agreed to let me and Theo be together. Back then, we were forced to separate, and I thought we could never be together. Now you agreed to the divorce...""Who said I agreed to divorce?” I interrupted her, finding her words puzzling and her kindness strange, in fact.I wonder how she was abl

    My palm rushed to my stomach, holding that spot instinctively.Shutting my eyes, I took in a deep breath to put up with the pain. However, it only intensified.“Where do we go, Ma’am?” Asked the driver who's trying to peek at me through the rearview mirror.”“The First Hospital, please,” I breathed out. This pain isn't caused by the uterus or other parts. The pain comes directly from my stomach, which is weird.But, I've always been in good health and haven't experienced any digestive issues before. Is it because I've overworked my body recently?Probably, I've accumulated quite a bit of negative emotions over the past few days, causing this sudden intense pain in my stomach. After all, the stomach is an emotional organ.Maybe it's acute arthritis.Leaning against the backseat’s chair, I keep holding my belly, wondering if this growing pain will ever stop. “Can you drive faster, please?” I urged the driver.The ride was taking forever.

    Theo's POV I waited for a minute to pass by, wondering if the boy would return immediately.He might have gone outside to check on something. But what, though?At this time of the night even.My mind told me to go and check, my curiosity getting the best of me.Who knows, he might be setting another trap which I might fall into. So I got up, sensing no sign of him returning. I stepped towards the door, making sure that I didn't make any sound. As I pulled the door open carefully, I peeked through it first. There wasn't any sign of him in the long empty hallway, but one of the elevator’s lights was on. Obviously, someone has just entered it. What now?Is he leaving this huge apartment building all by himself?I followed and checked the number of floors he was going to. Seeing it baffled me. Actually, he wasn't leaving the building, but going up. The elevator was going to the fifteenth floor. I wonder who he's meeting there. With each moment, my curiosity got stronger and I foll

    What promise?I can't recall promising to take him to L.A.Dave stomped forward and stood in front of us, dropping both hands on his waist “Ms. Maya, are you plotting behind my back?”“Oh, Dave… it's not like that.” The Nanny sounded hopeless. “We're only discussing about the weather.”“Really?” The boy narrowed his eyes. No doubt, he knew the Nanny was lying. I can't stand it anymore.I have to make it clear to him. “I won't take you to L.A.”His expression darkened. Literally, he went so mad that the cold look he threw my way froze me for a second. “How else will you repay my kindness, Theo Wellington?”“I can send you gifts from L.A. that's all.”But Dave wouldn't hear of it.I wonder if he did it intentionally or not, but my precious dinner was soon gone. The food I had barely touched.He knocked over the tray while grabbing his Nanny's hand and the glass of water spilled inside my food. “Fine.

    I don't know what instantly brought tears to my eyes. It's probably because of hearing his voice again for the first time after five years.Or maybe because he woke up when I was just about to leave. Turning around, I found the old man struggling to speak through the oxygen mask.I quickly helped him remove it, promptly checking his vitals through the monitor machine for any changes in his system. But his body was working fine which is a relief.I sat in the chair across from him, watching his eyes wet with tears.How did he recognize it was me?I'm wearing a mask after all.“Grandpa!” Emotion flooded my mind and my speech was incoherent. I struggled between laughter and tears as I held onto his hand. “You're awake!”“Am I dreaming, Olivia?” Grandpa Victor said, his voice hoarse and weak. “Did you come personally to check on me?”He didn't know yet that I was the surgeon who performed the operation.I've already planned with the hospital to keep it hidden even after the patient woke

Luckily, Jake is here to do the humiliating job in my stead.I would have rejected it. However, the taxi driver's loud voice was already dragging the attention of the passersby.While I stood in a corner watching, Jake cleaned the taxi driver's car to the point that there wasn't a single daint on it. And before the taxi driver left, he looked at me and advised, “If you keep doing this, Mister, your son will forever live in the disappointment of you. With your good looks, you can easily get a job at any nightclub in this city. Those frivolous women can spend anything on you-”“Scram!” I was about to lose it, having had enough of the taxi driver's insults.
