It left them both in shock.
Vera thought she didn’t have it in her.
But she wasn’t going to apologize.
She was way too mad for that.
‘I won’t apologise,’ Vera told him.
‘Don’t.’ He ground out.
It was the first for Luke to show that he was mad with her.
Vera thought it was a good thing.
That it would break the connection that she was trying so had not to build.
But he felt bad.
He didn’t want to show Vera his anger.
He never wanted to show Vera that part of him.
He also feared that he broke everything he thought he built with her.
‘Vera,’ he breathed.
‘Am I interrupting anything?’ suddenly they heard Josh.
Luke was going to speak but Vera got in before him.
‘No. But you are taking me home. Now!’ Vera demanded Josh.
This made him frown and then looked to Luke to see w

Josh hears silence and so he thought now was the best time to show.So, he lightly tapped on the door and waited for Luke to invite him in.‘Come in,’ he heard Luke’s sad and tired voice, say.Josh didn’t miss a beat and stepped straight into the room.He found the sight before him heart breaking.He saw Vera’s unconscious state, just laying there.There was no movement in her.Luke had put a washer on her forehead.And then he saw Luke.He had never seen him so broken before.He sat on the edge of the bed grasping at her hand while his body was slouched over.And if he wasn’t mistaken, he thought he saw Luke was crying.‘Luke,’ he gently said. ‘The doctor should be here soon.’‘It’s not good enough. I don’t pay him to come whenever he wants. He should have been here by now.’ Luke said. His voice cold and full

There was a light tap on the door followed by the maid saying the doctor was here.Luke was mad instantly.He wanted to yell and scream at him.Rip into him.But he was afraid that he would scare Vera, if she could hear him.

When Josh came back to the Reynolds manner, he was quick to rush to antibiotics up to Vera.He was desperate to see if there was any progress.But there hadn’t been.This was upsetting him.Though he helped Luke, to change the washer and drip water into her mouth.

Luke waited to hear what Vera had to say.Though he saw that she had become a little vulnerable.He wondered why.He didn’t want Vera to ever feel vulnerable with him.This made him smile at her-to reassure her-and then scoot closer to her.‘You can tell me, Vera.’ He gently told her.This made Vera smile then.She knew she could tell him.And when Luke saw Vera smile, it made his heart race.And therefore, he couldn’t help slightly squeezing Vera’s hand.‘I know, Luke.’ She tells him.This made Luke’s world.She didn’t seem to be mad with him.But Luke knew she would have to be mad with him.And he would take it.‘Luke, I'm not mad. Well, I am. But I realized that I signed my right a way when I signed the contract. I am mad, that you wanted me to trust you. You wanted me to talk to you. Yet you couldn’t talk to me

When Josh left, Luke asked Vera if she was hungry.Vera had said that she wasn’t.Which was a first.And Luke knew that and that made him worry.Because it made him realize that she wasn’t out of the danger zone yet.

Luke was surprised that Vera didn’t try and pull her hand out of his.He liked it though.He thought that her hand fit so perfect in his.It felt amazing and so it made him smile at her.And then he began to pull her towards the door.Vera, she eagerly went with him because she couldn’t wait to see the twins.Her children.It made her heart beat faster.Though when they were halfway down the stairs, she began to worry about how they were going to tell the children.She wondered would they be upset with her.Vera didn’t want the children to be upset with her.‘How are we going to tell them?’ Vera asked.‘I will tell them the truth.’ Luke said, offering her hand a gentle squeeze, as if to say, everything was going to be OK.This didn’t really make Vera feel any better.Not that he didn’t have faith in Luke.But because, she didn

The children were given their bowls of oats and fruit.They knew to eat their fruit first.Vera was given a plate of scrambled eggs, toast, tomato and sausages.Vera didn’t feel that hungry.Just the sight of food, made her stomach turn.But for now, she forced it down with a sip of water.And then Vera, saw the maid place a chocolate milkshake in front of her.She almost smiled.But she didn’t want Luke to see her reaction and then ask her why she was smiling.She picked up her drink and sipped it.She had to hold back the moan she nearly let slip out of her mouth.And all Luke could do was watch her.Josh couldn’t help watching her too.He loved her.She was like a light that he needed in his life.Luke and Josh both received their scrambled eggs with coffee.‘Momma?’ Vera heard Rayne ask.‘Yes, my baby.’ Vera turned to Ra

They walked out of the bathroom then, making their way back to the Dinning room.Vera felt a little saddened when she noticed that her children had already left.She couldn’t see Josh either.So, she thought he had taken them.‘The children are getting ready for school,’ Luke tells her. ‘Would you like to eat something?&rsqu
