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
A MONTH LATER!After everything that happened, Mark felt like he has completely lost it. Of course he has! He has lost everything due to his carelessness. He lost his parents.. They won't even look at him twice, just like he suddenly turned into a stranger. He was ripped off his position as the CEO and every other position he held. His credit card has been frozen... He has automatically gone broke.That's less of his concern right now. His major concern is his inability to sleep at night. The only time he does is with the help of sleeping pills.He was loosing it completely.. If be doesn't speak with Lucy, he'd never get over the nemesis of karma. Karma really gas no pity at all. it's really too much for him to handle.He continued to pace to and fro in front of Lucy's apartment. He felt really antsy and he kept sweating profusely as he thought of what her reaction would be!! Would she talk to him? Would she even lis
Lucy stood against the door with her eyes tightly shut. Her heat was pounding really fast and so she tried to calm her nerves as much as she can.She couldn't believe she just had a talk with Mark. It's unbelievable."You shouldn't have talked to him if you didn't want to. I didn't want you to speak to him, that's why I lied about him being a stranger"Lucy opens her eyes, sighed and went to sit on the Sofa, Olivia did too."I know, but I just had to speak with him and make everything clear to him.. Now, he has gotten his answers from the horse's mouth... Now, he knows how much I despise him. I'm Sure he won't ever come back"Olivia sighed and shrugged. " He looks pitiful tho""I agree, so pitiful to earn everyone's sympathy. So do you understand what I mean by saying there's no better and sweeter punishment than that of Karma?.."Olivia shook her head negatively, still not underst
Olivia drove in full speed to Maynard's home after she got a text from him which seemed so scary.He had asked her to come over, saying there's something important. She tried calling him but he wasn't picking up her calls and it got her extremely worried.She rushed into his home, searching the entire living room but didn't get a glimpse of him. She has no idea why she's so worried, Maybe it's just because 9f the fact that she's curious as to what the important thing is."Maynard? Where are you?" She called but got no response."Maynard?.":She called out again and rather than getting a response, she heard a loud bang, coming from the direction of his room.Getting really scared, she rushed upstairs, taking the stairs in pairs. As she got to his room, she barged in without bothering to knock.As soon as she got in, she felt a hand pull her to a corner, startling her a bit.She expected him to look worried or something, but she found him smirking."Maynard, you...""I got you worried di
