Jessica, latched against the back of the door with her heart thumping sporadically, heard the door click open. She froze, holding her breath, afraid to breathe too loudly and attract the attention of the predator. Gripping firmly onto the knife, she paid rapt attention as she steadied herself for an imminent attack.

Suddenly, the light switch flickered on, and a man walked in frantically, scanning the area with his eyes. His back was turned to Jessica, but that was all she needed to know who it was.

"Justin!"

Relief flooded Jessica as she lost grip of the knife, which fell to the floor in a loud bang, attracting Justin's attention. Immediately, he turned, their eyes met, and for a millisecond, they stared at each other without moving.

Justin slowly approached Jessica, his caring eyes never leaving hers. Jessica bit down on her bottom lip, her vision clouding with the tears that were beginning to form.

He knows what happened! Justin knows that she had allegedly pushed Sonia down the st

    All eyes fell on Justin as everyone wondered just what more there could be. Justin brought out two papers from his pocket and handed them to one of the doctors, saying calmly, "Please explain to everyone what this is all about."Sonia's eyes widened as she glared at the papers in the doctor's hand; they were the same result papers that had been shown to her after she came for a pregnancy test. With the speed of light, she immediately rushed to the doctor and snatched the paper away from her, tearing it to shreds with shaking hands in front of everyone.She didn't want the content of the paper to be made public; she would be done for if it were. Justin could have stopped her when she went for the papers, but he ignored her, wanting her to make a fool of herself.Did she actually think before she acted? Did tearing the papers not make her even more suspicious of her? Justin wondered just how gullible and dull Sonia was to have done what she just did.While everyone was still observing

    Jessica stared at the result for a long time, she picked it up, blinked her eyes, and gazed at it incredulously.She was really pregnant! She rubbed her hand on her belly. The fact that she hadn't seen her menstrual flow in two months meant she was at least 6 weeks pregnant. Jessica felt a mix of joy and anxiety.She questioned her own ability to take care of a child. What if she failed as a mother? What if Justin decided one day that he wasn't interested in the contract marriage anymore? Wouldn't that mean she would become a single mother? Could she handle all the pressure that was bound to come if that happened?Jessica sighed and shoved the thoughts to the back of her mind. She decided it was best not to dwell on things that hadn't happened yet but to focus on the present.When Jessica got home, she waited up for Justin so she could deliver the news to him. He came home quite late, wearing a tired look on his face. Jessica waited until he was done eating before breaking the news t

When she picked up, Jessica said in a calm tone, "Where are you, Anabella?""I am at home, ma'am. Is there anything you would like me to do for you?" the housekeeper asked politely. She had become fond of Jessica, whoever saw the both of them would think they were siblings even though they looked nothing alike. This was due to how great their relationship was with each other, they practically acted as siblings."Yes, there is. Please, I would like you to quickly go to the supermarket and grab some food items for me." Jessica listed the items she needed, and when she was done, she hung up.

    When Jessica spoke to the woman, everyone outside glanced at each other in surprise as they wondered just what Jessica was trying to do.

Did she want her husband dead?Not being able to control his emotions, one of them called out to her, "Mrs. Jessica, just what exactly do you think you are doing? You can't stop them from doing their job!"Another stuttered in shock, "Don't you want your husband alive? Is that why you are trying to stop them?" Jessica paid no attention whatsoever to them.The woman who was giving Justin CPR tilted her head slightly to look up at Jessica, her hand still on Justin's chest as she gave him compressions.

    Jessica got into the ambulance with the paramedics; she held one of Justin's hands in hers as she looked down at his pale figure. Her heart felt contrite with pain. She had pushed her emotions aside earlier to perform her job as a surgeon.It is crucial to detach emotions from one's feelings when treating a patient because emotions can meddle with precision and execution.Now that Justin was out of the danger zone, all the feelings she had kept bottled up came crashing down upon her, overwhelming her. "How did this happen? Who did this to you, Justin?" Jessica muttered under her breath, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.Mrs. Hemsworth, who had called Jessica earlier to confirm which hospital her grandson was being taken to, was already outside the hospital building, waiting for them.

    Mr. Hemsworth fixed a disbelieving gaze upon the doctor. The initial shock gradually gave way to a simmering anger. How could this doctor brazenly deceive him? How could he assert that his son, previously robust and only afflicted with a head injury, now had just one month to live?While Mr. Hemsworth grappled with these thoughts, Jessica, her jaw dropping at the doctor's proclamation, expressed her disbelief. "One month to live?" she exclaimed, scanning the room in bewilderment. "I don't understand, doctor. What precisely is wrong with my husband?" she inquired, her words marked by a sense of shock and confusion.The doctor let out a heavy sigh as he observed Jessica before imparting the news, "He has a brain injury, one I'm afraid is incurable," he explained, glancing at both Mr. Hemsworth and Jessica, whose faces now bore expressions of shock. The surprised doctor added, "Actually, the result of the diagnosis shows he has had this brain injury for some time now. I thought you both

The doctor also looked at Jessica wide-eyed, a surprised expression planted on his face. Just what is she going on about? He thought. Did she know something he didn't know? They were both in the medical field, so that was very possible. Perhaps she knew someone who could wave a magic wand and cure Justin, he thought.The doctor waited patiently to hear what solution Jessica had to offer, although he d

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up.

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. The girl's reaction hinted t

    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. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
