Not every nurse is allowed to enter the ER but she entered anyway.Her eyes caught sight of the doctor, Aston, busily using surgery equipment in her.Tears roll down her eyes. Seeing her pumpkin in such a dire situation aches her so much that she feels like dying.So many questions runs through her mind but there was no answer to any.First was her baby, and now pumpkin."Why must it be them? Why must it be those innocent and young souls who deserve nothing but the best? Why must it be someone close to her?With the little time she's known, Lilly, she's come to love her.To her, she was her child, her little pumpkin.She takes a few strides toward the team who seems all busy, trying their absolute best to save the little girl."Tissue Clamp!!" Aston said over his voice, as Selene quickly hands it to him.He continues working on the little girl.Ashley stood there, frozen to her steps. Her head was spinning, the heart was as though it was trying to break free from her chest."Cotton
They were still not receiving any response from the little girl.Aston claps the defibrillator together. Maybe it was not that warm enough to revive her. He brings it against her chest, jerking her but still, she didn't respond.The monitor sounds intensify and slowly, dies down as the green lines on the screen die alongside.Ashley burst into tears, talking in-between her sobs"No, no, no!!" She cries "this can't be, not again" It was like her heart was given up as her breath seized, she found herself too weak to keep up.Aston was quick to catch her in his arms.The male nurse helped him get her out of the ER while Daniel pulls the sheet over the little dead girl's head.Selene sobs silently, gathering all the used equipment outside.Even though she wasn't all close to the little girl, she wanted her to be fine again and it hurts, to watch her die regardless of their efforts to keep her alive.Aston walks into the room, tired, with sadness and regrets written all over his face.
The little boy's name is Kayden Wyatt, the only son of Mr Anton Wyatt. His dotted half. Little Kayden had an appointment with the doctor, that's why they came.It was strange as to why he suddenly jumped off the car when Anton pulled off to get something from the store nearby only to see that Kayden was running off. His reflexes kicked in, and as he chased him, he saw the approaching car. There was nothing he could think of but to save him. His tension and fear came to a halt when he saw a lady grab Kayden into her arms, rolling him down but never letting him get hurt. Anton stood behind them, watching them. He didn't know what to feel but deep down, he was grateful for the Lady saving his son. It amazes him how Kayden is hugging this strange woman as if he's known her."D-don't leave me again, mama!" Kayden cries arms circling her neck."Never!" Ashley comforts, "I won't let go!" Her tone was promising.The warmth evolving from his tiny body was enough to soothe her bleeding hea
She turns to him and was met with his unwavering gaze. Something in them made her blood rush in excitement. His amber eyes were as beautiful as Kayden's and somehow, she felt drowned in them.Kayden taps on her arms and out of instinct, she says"Yes! I will marry him" even before she could process things. Her face turns crimson red in embarrassment."Yahhh!!" Kayden yells happily clapping his tiny hands together."Now I have a mama, and a dad" Seeing him all happy, Ashley couldn't help but smile. He looks even cuter.Kayden quickly grabs both their hands, being the centre of them all as he led them into the hospital.Ashley's gaze falls on Anton who murmurs a 'thankyou' to her.She nods. Sure enough, it wasn't real and she was happy she can make the little boy happy.By the time they get to the hospital, Miley was long gone alongside Selene.Aston was still in his office, he had something to take care of and more to it, he was waiting for Anton.With a knock, they enter Aston's
"wait a minute. " Alina said indicating with a hand, " you mean to say you met Anton Wyatt?" Her tone was disbelief.Ashley's bobs. "Yes!" She asked, "why?"Alina let out a nervous laugh, not like she was nervous though."I still can't believe this!" Alina exclaims tossing her hair.Ashley frowns. "Believe what!" She was perplexed as to what Alina was trying to say."Are you sure it's Anton Wyatt you met?" She asked again.This only got Ashley more confused. She couldn't take the suspense Alina is giving her.Ashley urges. "Yes! Why?" She asked, " is there something you ain't telling me?" Alina's gaze lingers on her face in bewilderment. How can her friend be this clueless? "You just met with the most influential billionaire in Ukraine!" Alina said stunning Ashley who stared at her with widen eyes.She laughs, in disbelief. " You are joking right?" Her gaze stares pleading at Alina begging her to say otherwise."Don't stare at me like that!" Alina complains, " check this out if
Aston was the most surprised, as he stares at Ashley with an unfathomable gaze.Seeing his look, Ashley quickly say"Go on now honey, mama promise to come to see you as soon as she gets done with her work" Her hands caress his cheeks as she glances at Aston and then at Anton.Not like she's afraid of being the little boy's mama but the fact that no one knows the real deal behind it all only makes things worse.People won't try to understand and just jump to conclusions."Does Ms Ashley has any assigned patient?" Anton's deep voice vibrates as he directs his question to Aston.Aston shakes his head in denial. "No... Still to" he said."Fine then," Anton said, "she should be my son's nurse, in that way, she won't have to get herself stuck on what to do" Hearing what Anton said, she couldn't be any happier but the problem is, she will have to spend her every day with them and that, she isn't ready for.People talk a lot and she's trying her utmost best to avoid that.Ivanna and Jo
Ashley stares at him in disbelief, speechless about what to say.She stumps out of the room, leaving Aston standing, alone.She didn't know if it was just anger or something else as she felt her stomach coil in disgust.She's always wanted to work in this hospital but not anymore. Not with what Aston just did. There's no way she will be able to take any more of that.Lucky her, Anton has made her his son's nurse.She bumps into someone but didn't care to look as she ran out of the hospital, trying so hard not to let herself burst out in tears.Selene staggered at the impact of their collision, almost falling. She frowns upon seeing her run away, and she wonders what's going on.With one last glance at the exit, she knocks on the door and by his command, she enters.Aston who has always been the cool and I-am-ok guy was looking like a castrated goat that has so much to deal with.He looks so disoriented and pale. Selene doubt if everything was ok because that was the same look she s
Out in the garden, Ashley watched Kayden play with a smile.Compare to how he naturally was, Kayden was livelier with her around."Mama, look!" Kayden yells as he points at the butterflies, that flew over him forming a circle."They are so beautiful!" He comments.Ashley walks to his side, "yes baby, they are... Just like you" she crunches down to his level as they both stare at the beauty flies."That's why they are called beauty flies," Ashley said."But, I am not a girl" Kayden pouts, "only girls are beautiful" Ashley was amazed at how smart he can be. "Of course not, you are my cute little handsome Kayden with charming eyes" she pinched his nose, and Kayden giggled happily."They are flying away" Kayden shouted when the butterflies flew higher, up in the sky.Suddenly, his happy face grows sad. Ashley frowned, not understanding what spoiled his mood all of a sudden. Before Ashley could ask, he suddenly speak up."Why can't I get my butterfly, they always come and go but I never g
"what's inside?" Ashley asked curious to know."Why not check it out?" He hands her the box, silently urging her to open it.Ashley didn't know why he wants her to open the box but she did it anyways, her curiosity couldn't let her.Gasp escape her lips at the sight of the bracket sleeping in the box. There is no way she will ever forget this."Where did you get this?" She asked, staring at Anton with a demanding gaze.Anton didn't respond, he hugs her from behind, and bury his head in the crook of her neck."The night I spent with an angel" he whispers into her ears."You know that's five years ago, right?" Ashley turns to him, with a raised brow."Yeah, I know that..." He responds.Ashley stares at the blue bracelet for a long time, still in disbelief that he kept it all this while.She turns and hugs him, "thank you" her voice was teary.She wasn't thanking him for the bracelet, but she was thinking of him for holding on to their one-night stand till now.Her lips find him, she kis
Ashley walks out of the bath drying her hair with the hand towel. She refused to sleep with Anton knowing what entails and luckily, Kayden wasn't too demanding today ad he fell asleep immediately after dinner.She had absolutely nothing on, her nice curvy body was as smooth as silk. She walks to the bedside, ready to go to bed butt naked but before she could finish drying off her hair, the door pushes open all of sudden.Out of reflex, she immediately uses a small towel to cover her body. Her heart was as though it would explode in her chest, as she stares at the door with wide eyes.It was Anton, he looks so carefree with a smile on his lips."Oops, you are dressing... Nice" he closes the door behind him and start walking toward her.Ashley didn't know if she should be hallucination or sad, he was just not making things better."You should have knocked" Ashley complains, and look away.His hot gaze on her body was enough to leave her shivering."Thought of surprising you and I guess
The car stops before the large mansion, Kayden and Ashley stepped out and made their way into the building with Kayden holding onto Ashley's hands.The sweet and mouth watery aroma coming from the kitchen was enough to leave the two begging for more as they lead themselves directly to the kitchen curious to know how is seriously cooking their nostrils.Ashley's steps froze upon seeing Anton busily cooking with an apron tied around his waist. "No way " she mutters under her breath in disbelief."You are back!" Anton spoke out breaking the silence."Come in, u don't mind you two watching me all day" he jokes.Kayden runs to him, demanding a piece of fried shrimp which Anton gladly gave him.Ashley didn't move, she stood there staring in shock."You should taste it, mama, it's delicious" Kayden rush to her and offer her a bite.Ashley's eyes widen even more when she realized the food is, even tastier than it smells. Her gaze travels to the busy man who seems to be enjoying what he is doi
Alina's hot gaze on Ashley was enough to make get her sweat dripping down her face, she doesn't understand what she did to receive such a glare from her best friend."Anything on my face?" Ashley asked, pretending to be oblivious to her constant stares. "Yes, " Alina responded. "A very big something that can cause a problem... Huge one can even make your face less attractive" she adds.This left a frown on Ashley's face as she tries to feel what exactly Alina said was on it. "Is it that bad? What is it? Can it be cleared in two days?" Ashley throws tons of questions at Alina, she wasn't scared of anything but acne... It always comes and never wishes to want to go and she hates it."Be serious, what's on my face?" Ashley asked again after seeing the exchange of looks between Kayden and Alina."Um, naiveness I think" Alina laughs, heartily at her words."You should stop playing jokes like that, it's no fun." Ashley complains, "you know just how much I dislike acne" "I never said you h
Andriy let out a chuckle of disbelief, "you are not serious, there is absolutely no way you can be serious" he doesn't believe her, nothing she will ever say will make him believe.He's been with Ashley for years now and he knows well what she is capable of and this isn't one of those things she can do and boastfully talk about it."I don't need you to believe me if this doesn't make you believe then stay but just know that won't stop me from leaving you" Brian pulls out another paper from the case and hands it to Ashley who then pushes it to Andriy."This can be issued, it's fake," Andriy said.Ashley smiled, " you don't have to accept it, just sign the fucking paper let me get out of here" "I guess I have stayed silent for a long time and I need to play my role" Brian spoke up breaking the awkward silence in the room."The divorce she is offering you is a peaceful one Mr Norman, I am sure you know too well your mom and sister could be sent to jail after the scandalous things they d
Brian watches her with a slight smile on his lips, even though he doesn't know more about Ashley, he does know she is a smart and emotional type.Not long, the car pulls off before the starlight cafe. Ashley walks into the building without delay, it's as if she knew where exactly to find Andriy.As expected, Andriy was sited patiently waiting for her. He stood up immediately upon seeing Ashley's approaching figure, he looks as though he was about crying or rather he's been crying."Ashley, thank goodness!" He breathes out and reaches out for her, "it's not true, right? You can't possibly want to divorce me right?" He begs with pleading gazes.Ashley bites her lips so hard that lines were seen after she released them, "Andriy?" She calls out in a whisper, "Behave please, we ain't the only one here" she informs with pleading gazes.Andriy turns around, only then did he realized they were the point of focus as everyone's gaze was on them."You won't leave me, right?" He asked although pe
It's been more than five days since Ashley left Andriy, he has been trying to reach her but she always declines his calls and silences her phone.She didn't want to talk to him or have anything related to him, but there is no way she could just run and hide pretending as though nothing happened between them and ignore her pain from the injuries caused by them."You shouldn't bother about it, my lawyer is downstairs ready to assist you in whatever way he can" Anton hugs her from behind, staring at the bright city through the window."Don't you think it's too soon?" Ashley turns to him, a look of confusion plastered on her face.Anton stayed for a long time, staring at her as if trying to read through those beautiful eyes of hers, he takes her hands and place them on his shoulders."You don't have to do it if you don't want to, there is more time to decide and get to choose the right thing" He whispers, pulling her in for a hug."No!" Ashley shakes her head, "I want to do it, just fee
Later that day, Ashley spent her time beside Kayden, she watch him sleep so peacefully taking in a calm and gentle breath.She was so focused on him that she didn't see his fingers moving. Only when he blinks his eyes open did she see."Kayden?" She calls out, surprised in her voice."Mama?" Kayden's voice was so soft that Ashley didn't hear him clearly but she answered anyway."Yes baby, I am here" Ashley stood up and side by side of the bed."I-i want to" Kayden struggled but the oxygen mask didn't let him.Ashley didn't know if she should help him or not but after a long thought, she did it anyways."I want to tell you that I love you and" Kayden takes in a deep breath with a smile, "I am happy you are here with me" he confesses.Ashley caresses his cheeks, "I love you too my love, and mama will always be here for you, ok" she comforts.Kayden nods in satisfaction. He look way better than when she saw him in the theatre and she couldn't help but be happy."Do you want something? An
"you are back!" Ashley said walking out of the bath and drying her hair with the hand towel.Anton didn't respond, he pulls her in for a tight hug stunning Ashley."Are you ok?" She asked concerned evidence in her voice."I have missed you" Anton breathed out on the crock of her neck, sending a tingling sensation down her spine.Ashley smiles meekly unable to contain the happiness, she grabs his face in her palms and pulls him at arm's length."I've missed you too" she confesses, tiptoeing and kissing his chin.Anton's eyes sparkle, and he pulls her even closer making her soft chest brush against his hard one.Ashley's gaze lingers on his for a long time, both lost in each other hot gazes."Is everything ok?" Ashley asked again, somehow there is this feeling she can't brush away.Anton nods, "yeah, very ok and kicking" he assured but Ashley wasn't convinced."What? You want me to prove myself?" He raises a brow. "Sure then, I will gladly do " he picks her up in one swift movement and
