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. As she walked down the hallway, she saw other patients and their families going about their day. Some looked happy and relieved, while others were visibly stressed and worried. Andrianne couldn't help but feel a pang of envy for those who seemed to have everything together.When she stepped outside, she was hit with the morning sun and the sounds of cars rushing by. She took a deep breath and started walking towards her car. As she drove home, she couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving Lucas alone in the
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. Now let's go, I'll drive
CH 102.Andrianne slowly opened her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun shining through her window. She stretched her arms and legs and sat up in bed. She rubbed her eyes and let out a deep sigh, her mind still foggy from sleep. Then she remembered her father's call and quickly reached for her phone to check the time. It was already past 9 am.She got out of bed and walked to the window, staring at the clear blue sky outside. A few moments later, Jackie came into the room, carrying a tray of breakfast."Good morning, sleepyhead," Jackie said with a smile.Andrianne turned around and returned the smile. "Morning, Jackie. What do we have here?""Your favorite," Jackie replied, setting down the tray. "Pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs."Andrianne's stomach grumbled in response to the delicious aroma. 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?"
CH 103.Emily walked into the hospital room, her eyes scanning the area until they landed on Lucas. He was sitting up in bed, staring into space, his expression blank. Emily felt a twinge of pity for him. He looked so lost, so vulnerable. But she quickly pushed those feelings aside. This was her chance to hatch her plan."Lucas," she said softly, approaching his bed.Lucas looked up at her, his eyes dull and lifeless. "Emily," he said, his voice barely above a whisper."How are you feeling?" she asked, pulling up a chair and sitting down beside him.Lucas shrugged. "I don't really know," he said, his eyes still fixed on some invisible point in the distance.Emily leaned in closer. "Do you remember what happened?" she asked, trying to sound concerned.Lucas shook his head slowly. "No," he said, his voice barely audible. "I don't remember anything."Emily's heart raced with excitement. This was it. This was her chance to start fresh with Lucas, without Andrianne in the picture. "That's
CH 104Andrianne's heart was pounding as she walked towards the entrance of the hospital. She couldn't believe that she was about to see Lucas after so long, but the thought of him not recognizing her was also terrifying. She had been on bed rest for two weeks, and her pregnancy had been giving her a hard time, but she couldn't wait any longer to see Lucas.As she approached the reception, she asked the nurse for Lucas' room number, and she was directed towards the elevator. Her legs felt weak as she stepped inside, and she kept praying that everything would be okay. The elevator ride felt like eternity, but finally, she arrived at Lucas' room.Andrianne gently opened the door and saw Lucas lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She walked closer and noticed how pale he looked, and her heart broke for him. She reached out and gently touched his hand, and his eyes fluttered open."Lucas?" Andrianne said, holding her breath.Lucas looked at her blankly and then turned his head away. And
CH 105Andrianne was waiting at the hospital entrance for Lucas to be discharged. She was dressed in a simple white dress that hugged her pregnancy curves, with her hair tied in a neat bun. She couldn't help but feel nervous and excited at the same time. It had been a long two weeks since she had last seen Lucas, and she missed him dearly.Finally, she saw a nurse wheeling Lucas out in a wheelchair. He looked fragile and weak, but Andrianne's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. She rushed over to him and gave him a gentle hug."Lucas, are you feeling better?" she asked him.Lucas looked up at her with a blank expression. He didn't seem to recognize her at all. Andrianne felt her heart sink, but she tried not to show it."Yes, I'm feeling better," he replied in a monotone voice.Andrianne felt a lump form in her throat. She knew that Lucas had lost his memory, but she didn't expect him to forget her completely."Come on, let's get you home," she said, trying to hide her disappoin
CH 106Andrianne was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room of the mansion. The silence was deafening, and the loneliness was suffocating. She had been staying in the mansion for a week now, taking care of Lucas, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that Emily gave her.She missed her own home and the comfort of her own bed. She missed the routine she had built with Jackie over the past few weeks. Andrianne sighed, she knew she couldn't continue like this. She needed to leave the mansion.As she was packing her bags, Lucas walked in, but he still couldn't recognize her. Andrianne tried her best to hide her disappointment, but it was hard. "Where are you going?" Lucas asked, looking confused."I'm going back to Jackie's house for a while," Andrianne replied, trying to sound upbeat. "I just need some time for myself."Lucas looked at her, his eyes searching for something, but he couldn't find it. "Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself," he said with a smile.A
