CH 95.Lucas felt like he had been punched in the stomach. Andrianne had come to the house and he hadn't even known. And to make matters worse, Emily was the reason why Andrianne had run out. He clenched his jaw, trying to suppress the anger that was bubbling up inside him."What do you mean she came to the house?" Lucas asked Johnson, his voice laced with annoyance."She came here yesterday morning, sir. I believe she spoke to Miss Emily and then ran out when she saw her," Johnson replied calmly, even though he could sense the tension in the air.Lucas slammed his hand on the table, causing the plates and utensils to rattle. "And you didn't think it was important enough to come and tell me right away?" he snapped at Johnson."I apologize, sir. I thought you were still sleeping," Johnson said, his voice remaining calm despite Lucas's outburst.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew it wasn't Johnson's fault, but he needed someone to blame. Andrianne was the onl

CH 97.Andrianne's heart dropped when she received the call from Lucas's father. She had just sat down with her lawyer David to discuss the divorce proceedings when her phone rang. She answered without hesitation, hoping it wasn't bad news."Hello?" Andrianne said, trying to keep the tremble out of her voice."Andrianne, it's Mr. Williams. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Lucas was in a car accident last night. He's at the hospital right now, and I think you should come."Andrianne felt her stomach twist in knots. "Is he okay? What happened?""I don't have all the details, but it seems like he's in critical condition. The doctors are doing everything they can, but they need all the support they can get right now. Please come."Andrianne hung up the phone and looked at David. He could see the fear in her eyes and immediately knew something was wrong."What's going on?"

She got into her car and slammed the door shut, turning the key in the ignition with a vicious twist.As she drove away from the hospital, Emily could feel the anger boiling inside her. She kept replaying the scene in her head - Andrianne standing by Lucas's side, looking so beautiful and caring. Emily couldn't bear the thought of Lucas choosing Andrianne over her. She had been so sure that she had won his heart, but now she wasn't so sure.Emily's mind was a blur of anger and confusion. She couldn't believe that Lucas would still have feelings for Andrianne after everything she had put him through. But then again, Emily had never truly understood their relationship. She had always seen Andrianne as a threat, but maybe there
CH 99.Andrianne sat in the hospital waiting room, her mind racing with worry and fear for Lucas. She knew he was in the hands of capable doctors and nurses, but the thought of losing him made her feel sick to her stomach. She placed a hand on her swollen belly and felt the baby inside kicking as if sensing her mother's anxiety.As she sat there waiting, she couldn't help but think about Emily and the fact that she was carrying Lucas's child. It was a thought that made her feel a mixture of emotions - anger, jealousy, and sadness. But most of all, it made her realize how much she still loved Lucas, despite everything that had happened between them.As she sat there lost in thought, a nurse approached her. "Excuse me, Mrs. Williams," the nurse said kindly, "I have an update on Mr. Williams."Andrianne stood up quickly, her heart pounding with anticipation. "Is he okay?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.The nurse gave her a small smile. "The surgery went well, but he's still
CH 100.Andrianne slowly got up from the couch, feeling every ache and pain in her body. Her leg was stiff and swollen from sleeping in an awkward position all night. She sighed and made her way to the bathroom to freshen up. Looking at herself in the mirror, she noticed dark circles under her eyes and her hair was a mess. She splashed some water on her face, brushed her hair, and changed into a fresh set of clothes.She picked up her bag and made her way out of the hospital room.

CH 101Jackie held Andrianne's hand and looked into her eyes, "Listen to me, Andrianne. You look exhausted and you can barely stand. You need to go home and rest. Lucas would want you to take care of yourself too."Andrianne shook her head, "I can't leave him alone, Jackie. What if something happens while I'm gone? I need to be there for him."Jackie nodded, understanding her friend's concern for Lucas, but she also knew that Andrianne needed to take care of herself. "Andrianne, the doctors are with him, and he's in good hands. You need to take care of yourself so you can take care of him. Go home, take a shower, rest, and come back later. I'll stay here and keep you updated on his condition."Andrianne sighed, feeling torn between her love for Lucas and her own well-being. She knew Jackie was right, but she didn't want to leave Lucas alone. "Okay," she finally said, "I'll go home, but promise me you'll call me if anything happens."Jackie smiled, "I promise.

She sat down at the table and dug in, but her thoughts were still on her father."Jackie, I need to talk to you about something," Andrianne said, putting down her fork."Sure, what is it?"
