Megan changed into the surgery clothes and lay on the bed that the nurses would use to wheel her into the operating room. Her father and Julie were with her. One of the nurses professionally inserted the IV into her forearm and placed an oxygen mask on her face. The medicine immediately began to take effect, and she started to feel as if she wanted to sleep. They slowly began to wheel her toward the operating room. Her father and Julie kept following her till they reached the door, and the nurse who was wheeling her paused. "You can do this darling. I trust that you will be strong in this and overcome it." Her father held her hand and told her."Yes, Megan. Be strong and defeat this sickness. We will be waiting when you are done.""Thank you, Dad. Thanks, Julie. I will see you soon." Her eyes were drooping and she could barely move her body. It was like she was getting paralyzed. She saw her father speaking, but she could not hear anything, and her eyes eventually closed, making her
Leo stood up abruptly from the chair he was sitting on, and he felt a little lightheaded. "I could practically hug you right now. You don't know how much your advice means to me. I have been cracking my brain to see whether I should go or not but I was not sure. Now I am sure." He walked up to Marvin. "I need you to drive me to the hospital, I need a lift from you."Marvin scrunched his face. "No way I am driving you there like a chauffeur. Don't you have a driver?" He asked in bewilderment."I do, but I have not been using him for a while, and I gave the rest of my workers paid leave. I wanted to be alone until you graced me with your presence. Now, I need you to drive me there so I won't miss her, a taxi would take a lot of time, and I can't drive because I drank." He tried reasoning."That's your problem; why did you go and drink in the first place? You should have kept yourself sane so you will be able to think like a normal human being. You are seriously going to be the death of
Megan was slowly waking up as the rhythmic beeping of the machine sound brought her back to consciousness. She blinked her eyes open, her vision blurred and unfocused at first. The bright lights in the room assaulted her senses, eliciting a soft groan that escaped her parched lips. Where the hell was she? Everything felt so strange.The clinical, sterile smell of the room and the steady beeping of monitors quickly reminded her, she was at the hospital. A different and strange sensation was coursing through her body, especially her chest. She felt weird, and then she suddenly remembered why she was lying on the bed feeling these strange feelings and pains in her chest. She had undergone a heart surgery. The fog in Megan's mind began to clear, and memories of the days leading up to the surgery came flooding back. The fear and anxiety she had felt, the way her heart raced every time she thought about the risks. And also, her break up with Leo. She heard a gasp and then saw a face over h
It has been a week. A whole freaking week and her recovery has been her priority. She did not let herself think about anything else except recovering, which had not been easy at all; the pain was not little at all. It hurt like hell, she has never felt that amount of discomfort and pain for a long time. It felt so new but with the help of painkillers, the pain was bearable. She had to manage a regimen of pain medications, which normally left her feeling groggy and disoriented at times. Simple tasks like sitting up, walking, and even breathing deeply cause her pain and anguish but she was able to face it with the help of her family. Her father has always been there for her and even Julie has practically been working from her hospital room. She did not feel lonely with their constant presence, and it was comforting to know that there were still people by her side, people who would be with her through it all. Unlike some other people whom she did not want to think about right now.To re
"What is going on?" Julie whispered with curious eyes. Megan quickly signaled for Julie to keep quiet so that the nurses would not hear her and Julie quickly shut her mouth. The bodyguards who were a few feet away from them froze. Megan sometimes wonders if they are robots because of the way they always seem to know what to do. Another reason why she had left them was because she was already used to having them around. They were at the back of the nurses station, the nurses could not see them."I wonder what is going on between them. They have not seen each other ever since that day that Miss Zendel went into surgery. Do you think they broke up?" Someone asked."No. I don't think they broke up, it is more like an estranged love, a love that cannot be shown. He has been visiting the hospital but it seems like Miss Zendel is not aware. I caught him one day in the parking lot where he was watching her room window. After watching for a while, he got into his car and drove off.""True. I t
Megan drew back in surprise. "Dad? He knows too?""Of course he does. For some strange reasons that I don't know about, he agreed to his request. I am not sure if he knows about the breakup. Did you tell him?""No. I never told him." She said."Well. That is what happened. I can never hide something like this from you; I am not crazy," She said. "If you don't still fully trust me, then you can call him and ask him; he will surely confess what he did."What she is saying makes sense a little, it is not completely rubbish. But... " How the heck did you know that I broke up with him? I don't remember telling you or is this surgery messing with me?" Julie folded her hand across her chest and gazed at her with an unimpressed expression that screamed, 'What the fuck.' "Really? Even a blind man would know. Maybe your father even knows and you are not aware of it. What I am saying is that everyone knows that Leonardo is obsessed with you and would do anything for you; I mean, the nurses even
"Geez, you scared the shit out of me. Don't go around scaring me like that anymore. I may have another heart attack even though I have been cured." Megan exclaimed.Julie pursed her lips. "I am sorry for disturbing you, but why are you scared? Do you have something to be scared of?" Her expression was skeptical.Megan composed herself and held her head high. It did not matter if Julie had caught her red-handed, she will still hold her head high. There was nothing to be afraid of. "I don't have anything to be afraid of. I thought you were working?" Megan pointed. "Are you trying to change the topic? You came here to check if your ex-boyfriend has come to see you once more." She stretched her neck to look out the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Julie suddenly grinned. "There he is, just leaving. You must be happy that he is still smitten with you." She remarked with a sly smile.Megan glanced out the window and in the direction where his car was parked before, and he was really driving o
Delphine drew back in surprise. "Huh? You have broken up with Leo?" Megan shook her head. "No, I did not break up with him. We are only taking a break for now. We need some time to think about our relationship." She explained her lie. She and Leo are not taking any breaks, but they have broken up. More like she broke up with him but she did not want to tell his mother that when she knows how much Delphine loves her and sees her like her daughter. She did not have the guts to break her heart.Delphine sighed heavily. "Oh. It's Leo, right? He is the reason for this break that you talk about." When she saw that Megan was not answering her she continued. "There is no need for you to defend him; I know my son, and I know what he can do. He sometimes is careless and does not know how to value the precious things around him. He also makes some mistakes that are unbelievable and he is not perfect. I don't know what he must have done but I want to tell you that you should follow your heart an
