Mark pulled over in front of an hotel where numerous cars were parked. Throughout the ride to the hotel, they said no word to each other and Lucy kept her gaze fixed outside the window.She had no choice but to dress up and go with him to this damn meeting.He stepped out of the car and scurried to her side. He pulled the door open and stretched out his hands. Lucy stared at his hand, then at him and then hissed loudly and looked away, folding her hands across her chest and refusing to step out.As a matter of fact, she suddenly feels reluctant to attend the meeting, she just wanna go home and rest. But how can she convince him to let her go? Still in her pool of thoughts, she felt a arm grab her wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the car. She glared harshly at Mark who had a scornful look on."What are you trying to do uh? Play stubborn uh? "" I should be asking you that because I clearly do not understand why you're trying to play the romantic be gentleman in public while you'
All Lucy ever wanted was for someone to reciprocate her love. She was quite the foolish one to think she'd ever win Mark's heart, even in this situation.Everything is clear to her now... What a grave mistake she committed. She has been cheated twice. The two men she loved dearly, used her for their own gain.What was she? A product meant for self Safisfaction? The drive back home was a silent one as usual. But Mark was fuming in anger and she could feel the heat of it. He drove in high speed and sometimes, he'd groan loudly and hit the steery wheel angrily.She gazed out the window, letting her mind wanders off and without for once, feeling guilty for what happened. For all she knows, it was purely a mistake, it was obvious and everyone could see that. Shortly, Mark screeched to an halt in full force that she almost bumped her head against the car. He stepped out and she did as well. He walked up to her, grabbed her hands and began to drag her with him into the house and up to the
Olivia did not wait for Maynard to park fully as she jumped off the car and rushed into the hospital in panic.She called on the nurses who didn't wait time before rushing out with a stretcher. With the help of Maynard, the unconscious Lucy was placed on the stretcher and wheeled inside.Olivia didn't stop rushing behind them and even as Lucy was wheeled into the ICU, she made to go in with them but was prevented by a nurse."I'm sorry Ma'am, we can't let you in!!" Said the nurse." Why? That is my sister and she needs me right now, please let me in" Olivia pleaded amidst hot tears flowing down her cheeks."Please ma'am, you can't go in" The nurse kept trying to make her understand but Olivia was too persistent and out of slight frustration, the nurse had to push her away slightly and shit the door of the Operating room. Maynard showed up and held her back."Please stop Olivia" "That nurse, she's so rude!! How can she not let me be with my sister? Doesn't she have a heart? "" She d
Olivia felt her whole world spin as the doctor dropped the news of Lucy's wellbeing. She almost lost balance but Maynard caught her.Mrs Townsend, who had now understood everything but still clueless about what led to the miscarriage, gasp in shock. Almost immediately, Lucy was wheeled out of the operating room by the nurses as they made into a different ward, few distance away.Olivia felt weak as she watched her sisterget wheeled away. She tore her gaze and focused them on Mark, if only looks could kill, he'd be six feet under by now.A nurse walked up to the doctor and gave him a bag."Who is the father of the child?" He asked, staring around but his hard gaze fell directly at Mark, though he kept waiting for an answer and as if to prove his guess, all glared turned towards Mark."I believe you are the father!..." He said and stretched the bag towards him. " Here's the remains of your child, it's only right if you bury your child yourself.. "Mark felt like he'd gone crippled af
THE FOLLOWING MORNINGMaynard walked into the ward to find Olivia still sitter in the same position as he left her the previous day. Her eyes were red and plumpy from crying non-stop.He stopped right beside her and pulled her up. Cupping her cheeks, he stared directly into her eyes and sighed deeply."You didn't get a wink of sleep do you?" He asked softly."How could I? when she's still not awake and has no clue what happened to her child. You know, I keep wondering if I should let her know about it or just tell a white lie that the baby is safe and sound. I kept trying to picture how perturbed she would be. It's the saddest news to any expectant mother.."" If only we could tell a white lie to save the situation but sooner or later, she'd find out about it and get mad at you!. I advice you tell her the truth, it's for the best!!"Olivia sighed and turned, looking back at her sister."I should get you something to eat!!" Maynard said in form of a question." No, I'm not hungry.. I'd
CHAPTER 80 :- Insomnia"You bítçh!? I can never accept that thing as mine"" Take care of her, she is your responsibility"" I love you Mark, so very much!! ""She had a miscarriage.. She lost the baby!!""You killed your baby... You failed in your responsibility as a man."" You seize to be my son from this moment onward."No!!" Mark yelled, snapping his eyes open and jerking up from the bed. He looked around in panic and only sighed in relief, realizing he is in his room.Mark could not help but break down in tears. It's been a week since Lucy's miscarriage and he kept himself hidden at home, unable to do anything, not with the constant nightmares from that night and voices too.A week and he has been suffering from insomnia, which is the inability to sleep. How can he sleep when he keeps hearing voices and sometimes, the cry of a baby. He's been hunted by his child...This is what he gets for acting so cruel.He honestly did not know what came over him and he couldn't stop himself.
Olivia sighed for the up-tenth time, giving up on trying to make Lucy speak. This past week, she just laid up, facing the ceiling like it has suddenly become her solace. She has not said a word or even let out a single tear. She just kept drawing circles on her tommy.Olivia was extremely worried about her sister and she had no idea what to do anymore. The doctor said she's perfectly fine but still in shock and would need to remain in the hospital for further observation.There's a lot of pain bottled up in her heart and she has to let it go, Holding back her tears is of no use."Please talk to me Sister! Let it all out, I'm here to listen. You don't have to keep holding it back. please say something Lucy, you're making me worried with your silence" Olivia said did the ten thousand time already and thus time, she hoped Lucy would not just ignore her like always. She held Lucy's hand in a soft squeeze, staring at her and indirectly pleading for her to say something, just a word.For
Lucy laid quietly, staring at the doctor who kept doing his thing and had a don't smile plastered on his lips.She was kinda shocked and confused at the same time. That face, it looked really familiar, like she has seen it somewhere, but where? She couldn't place it.As much as she wanted to over look it and conclude that she's just mixing things up, she couldn't... She's held bent on finding out why he's so familiar.Like a flash, it clicked.. She recalled exactly where she saw that face. It was exactly a week ago at the dinner meeting Mark took her to.It's the stranger she had bumped into which led to her fight with Mark. What was he doing here? Obviously, it's quite a foolish questions to ask because even a lame man would clearly see that he has a white coat on with a stethoscope around his neck and that makes him a doctor, right?"Leave us!" He said to the nurses who stared at him awkwardly, but he glared at them
