2024-10-29 19:42:56The doctor was in the next ward when he heard Rebecca scream loudly. He rushed to Jessica's ward with some of his nurses.
"What happened?" he asked, hearing the flatlining sound coming from the heart rate monitor. He immediately started doing CPR on her.
"Get the defibrillator," he ordered the nurses who rushed out and brought it.
He charged it to 200 volts. One, two, three… He placed the paddles on Jessica's heart. No response! Her mother was wailing in the background.
"Is this how I am going to lose my only child?" Rebecca wailed on the floor, lamenting.
The doctor charged her heart with the defibrillator two more times at 200 volts.
Jessica gasped and came back to life. The doctor and nurses heaved sighs of relief.
Her mother immediately rushed to her, "Thank God! You are alive, my daughter! Don't you ever scare me again."
Jessica nodded as tears streamed down the corners of her eyes.
*****
Five days later, Jessica was up on her feet again. The pain had subsided. She could now do things she couldn't do before without being aided by her mom or a nurse. Things like going to the restroom, feeding herself, going outside for some fresh air, and so on.
She went to her phone which was on the desk and looked at it. She had been unable to reach Nicholas ever since he broke up with her over the phone. She needed to see him, she needed to make things work between them.
They had so many beautiful memories together. They had always been each other's rock for the past three years. He can't just walk out of the relationship like that; they were in this together for life.
The door opened, and she turned in its direction to see the doctor walk in with a bright smile on his face.
"Ms. Jessica, I have news you'd be glad to hear," Jessica wanted to correct the doctor, to tell him that the proper address was "Dr. Jessica" and not "Ms. Jessica." However, the words died on her lips before she could even say it, as she remembered her license had been revoked and she couldn't perform surgery. She sighed heavily.
"What's the news, doctor?"
"You have shown remarkable recovery in the past few days; you will be discharged today," he said, beaming with joy.
"Oh!" That was the only thing Jessica could utter. Right now, the only good thing about the news was that she was finally going to meet Nicholas and sort things out with him. It wasn't as if she had a job to return to; her career had been completely ruined by her accident.
There was also the complication that resulted in her patient's death, which had caused her license to be revoked and left her with compensation bills to pay.
As soon as her discharge papers were signed by her mother, Jessica told her mother she had someplace to be and would be back home soon. Her mother tried to resist but eventually let her go. She hailed a taxi and gave the driver an address: Nicholas' home address.
Thank goodness it was a Sunday morning, and Nicholas usually rested at home on Sundays. She soon arrived at her destination and got out of the taxi. She looked up at the building, seeing a dim light in the room upstairs; that was Nicholas' room.
She rubbed her stiff neck before making her way inside. She had her spare keys with her; they were always in her small purse. She had asked her mom to fetch some of her belongings from her home days ago, and she did. Nicholas' Bentley was parked downstairs, another indication that he was home. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.
Pulling out the spare key from her purse, she unlocked the front door and made her way upstairs. Her heart pounded heavily against her chest. She was determined to do anything, even get on her knees and beg him to take her back. He just needed to see her. If he did, Jessica was sure all the love he had for her would come rushing back.
She went quietly up the staircase, careful not to alert him to her presence. As she got upstairs, she realized something was wrong. The bedroom door at the end of the hallway was slightly open, and she could hear faint moaning sounds coming from there.
She couldn't believe her ears. She thought she must be hearing things. She began looking for explanations to comfort herself. "It is definitely not Nicholas. He must have given his room to one of his friends to use."
She nodded as if convincing herself, "There is no way Nicholas would be with another lady while I was in the hospital. Even though he broke up with me for reasons best known to him, he would at least be heartbroken by now, trying to get over me, right?" Jessica thought to herself.
As she approached, the moaning became more audible.
"Please be gentle..."
"You said you wanted me to be fast, what do you want exactly?"
Jessica froze in her tracks. Those voices were very familiar. She had heard them before. One belonged to her fiancé, Nicholas, and the other to a lady she knew well. She wasn't stupid; she understood exactly what this conversation meant.
She felt a cold chill run down her spine as she clung to the wall for support, her legs nearly giving way beneath her. It took everything within her not to run. She needed to see this through to the end.
She reached the door, and the sight before her left her even more shaken to the core. Nicholas was on top of Sonia, her cousin. These were the last two people she expected to see together in that way – her fiancé and her cousin!. She and Nicholas had been together for three years, and their relationship had been very stable.
How could this be happening to her? They would have had their wedding a week ago if not for her accident. Besides, he promised to love her for the rest of his life. What went wrong? What could have caused this kind of betrayal from him? Was this the kind of love he meant? Was this why he broke up with her? She staggered, and her bag fell to the tiled floor.
"Nicholas, Jessica is here!" Sonia said in panic as she pushed Nicholas away gently.

Nicholas turned to see Jessica, who should be in the hospital, standing at the door. What was going on? "What was she doing here and not there?" "Why was she even here even after he had broken up with her?" he thought as he got out of bed and casually picked up his pants from the floor."Jessica, aren't you supposed to be at the hospital?" he said, raising his brows as he put on his trousers.Jessica was stunned by his words. Was that what he was supposed to be asking her after what she had just witnessed? "Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital?" Wow!"I was in the hospital for 7 days, 7 whole days, and not even once did you come to see me. Yet you have the time to have sex with my cousin? My own cousin, Nicholas!" She was furious, her anger evident in her voice."Well, it's a good thing you caught us. At least this, I believe, will help you move on." He leaned on the side of the door with his arms folded across his chest as he stared at Jessica. Her mouth gaped open; she couldn't

Jessica woke up in the hospital again. This scene was becoming too familiar to her. She immediately jerked up from the bed. She heard voices outside the door and footsteps approaching. The door opened, and three men walked in: the doctor, a tall man with a striking figure, and an average-sized man who stood behind the tall one. Jessica looked at the tall, elegant man; he was oddly familiar. His extremely handsome face was masked in a cold and vicious aura. He had a height of at least 6'3 and wore a well-tailored blue suit that outlined his muscular yet slender body. With his natural dark hair and cold blue eyes, he gave off an impeccable aura. He must have been the person who brought her to the hospital because he had been the last person she saw before drifting into unconsciousness. But that was not the only place she had seen him. She racked her brain, trying to remember where she had seen the strange man before. "She is awake already. I told you she wouldn't take long to regain

Jessica stared at the door for a long moment after they had left. Her thoughts drifted back to the day's events. Her phone suddenly rang in her bag, startling her. She walked over to the table and retrieved it. A quick glance at the screen revealed that it was her mother calling. She answered the call."Hello, Mum.""Sorry, this number was saved as 'My Baby girl,' so I assumed you'd recognize the owner of this phone," a deep male voice came through the phone. Jessica double-checked the phone to ensure it was indeed her mother's number displayed on the screen. Why was someone else calling her with her mother's phone? She wondered."Hello, are you there?" The man's voice broke the silence."Yes… yes, sorry, what did you say?" Jessica replied, her confusion evident."Are you related to the owner of this phone?""Yes, she's my mother," Jessica's eyes darkened, "who are you, and why are you calling me with my mother's phone?""Calm down, Miss. Your mum was knocked down by a driver. It was

Jessica saw a man in grey pants and a blue shirt with a tie fixed around his neck. He had a mysterious aura about him, with dark hair, a slender body, and a perfectly structured face. He could easily be a model; maybe he was one. She noticed him looking around frantically and immediately knew he must be the one.She stood up and rushed towards him. She had been sitting in the waiting area, as the receptionist had told her that loitering around the premises was highly prohibited."Excuse me, Mister," the man spun around to look at Jessica. He was incredibly good-looking, but that was the least of Jessica's concerns. All she cared about right now was her mother. "Are you the one I've been communicating with over the phone?"."It depends," he said sarcastically, "Are you the one whose mother was involved in a hit-and-run accident?" He arched an eyebrow.How can someone be so arrogant and kind at the same time?, Jessica thought."Yes, that's me. Please take me to her.""Follow me." Jessica

Jessica, with a calm tone, replied, "It's Jessica, the woman you saved earlier today and proposed a..." She halted herself, realizing the importance of maintaining secrecy around the contract marriage. Only the two of them and his personal assistant should be privy to this information.Justin's fame made confidentiality crucial. If the doctor or even this stranger discovered it, the news could spread rapidly. She couldn't afford to take any chances.Jessica walked to the door, opened it, and moved to an isolated location to ensure her privacy."I am ready to do what you asked," Jessica declared.Justin furrowed his brows, "What I asked? What was that?"Jessica rolled her eyes, impatient with the back-and-forth. She spelled it out clearly. "I'm ready to enter into a contract marriage with you.""Okay, come to the address on the card and sign the papers. Let's make it official.""Okay, I will..." The call abruptly ended before she could finish her sentence. She redialed the number.This

Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She shut them and just stared at him. The enigmatic glint in his eyes as he gazed into hers made her very uneasy.He finally drew in a long breath, "I thought as much." Glancing at his gold-plated wristwatch that looked like it had cost a fortune, he said without looking at Jessica, "I really should be on my way right now."He looked up from staring at his wristwatch, their eyes met. He immediately wore a serious expression, "I hope your mum's surgery goes well, and I also wish her a quick recovery after that.""Thank you," was all Jessica could mutter as she cleared her throat of the lump that had formed there."Goodbye, Jessica," Lawrence said and held her gaze for a brief moment before turning around. With long strides, he left the premises. Jessica stared at his retreating figure. When he was finally out of sight, she heaved a sigh of relief."What a day it has been," she thought to herself as she sank into the seat behind h

Kelvin led Jessica to Justin's study upstairs. The room's interior was painted in grey, matching Justin's personality. Kelvin opened the door, ushered her in, and closed it behind her. Jessica was now alone with Justin.She felt very nervous. She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way. There was just something about Justin that made her feel uneasy. His facial features were attractive. He hadn't even looked up from the papers he was working on; he just acted as if he were the only one in the room, ignoring her presence. This made Jessica feel even more uncomfortable."Mhm mhm," she cleared her throat, trying to draw his attention. He looked up, his indifferent dark eyes sweeping briefly through her entire body before he diverted his gaze back to the papers in front of him."I see you have come," his voice was as cold as ice. Jessica didn't know how to respond, so she kept quiet.He looked up at her again. "Please, have a seat, Ms. Jessica," he leaned back in his chair and st

He walked stealthily towards them in long strides, holding his suit jacket in his hand. Jessica couldn't take her eyes off him; he had a very intriguing aura about him. Why did he ask Kelvin to hold on? Did he want to join them? Jessica thought.As soon as he got to them, he stretched out his hand and demanded the car keys from Kelvin."I'll drive; I have somewhere I need to be right now." Kelvin looked at his boss in shock. He wanted to argue, but the menacing look Justin shot him left him no chance to do so. He immediately handed the keys to him. His mind was filled with so many thoughts at once.What if Justin had a panic attack on the way? What would happen then? He couldn't risk his boss getting into an accident. It was his life's mission to protect Justin, and he wouldn't fail at his job.Kelvin looked over at Jessica, "Can you drive, Ms. Jessica?" She was surprised. "Yes, why?""Nothing really, I just wanted to know."Kelvin knew that asking her that wasn't enough. There was no

Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward.

Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult. Could it be they wanted to silence Nicholas for good to prevent him from confessing to his crimes and thereby mention their involvement in money laundering and the attempt on Justin's life?Whatever it was, he would hear it now that his son was awake.As soon as they entered Nicholas' ward, Mr. Hemsworth motioned for the gua

The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense.

Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed.

Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain.
