Lucas didn't listen to her, and he commanded the driver, “To the hospital. Fast!”Minutes Later,They were all waiting in front of the emergency room as Tracy was being attended to by the doctors. Lucas was standing against the wall, the worry inside his eyes evident, and the bodyguard stood in a corner, his head lowered in guilt.Heidi yawned constantly, deciding to rest on the waiting chair. She couldn't let Tracy's drama deprive her of sleep.“Sleeping in that position will make you uncomfortable.” Lucas sat beside her.“Then give me your jacket to use as a pillow,” Heidi grumbled, not really serious with her words.Well, the man didn't give her his jacket. Instead, he rested her head on his lap. “Hey-”About to get agitated, Heidi found out it wasn't a bad position, so she made herself comfortable.“What's with beating Tracy up?” Lucas chided, stroking her hair. “If something happens to the baby, you will be implicated.”“So what!?” Heidi scoffed. “I don't believe a simple slap w
…What Heidi was afraid of happened after she left the hospital.She was lucky that the cab was almost near the hotel when she fainted!The hotel staff who recognized her must have brought her up. Because, when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the large bed of the hotel suite.“You don't know how worried I've been since last night, Ms. Olsen…” Isla's eyes were slightly red, probably from crying. “You didn't come back and I couldn't find you even with the help of the staff.”“It's okay. I'm fine.” Heidi sat up with difficulty with Isla's help.Her eyeballs hurt and there was this hot and cold sensation inside her body. No! She was running a fever again. Heidi sneezed and Isla handed her a tissue. “Let's get you to a hospital…”“No. We'll go to Phoenix City. The flight we booked yesterday will take off in…” Heidi glanced at the bedside clock. “... Twenty minutes…”Her confused words made Isla sigh. “We are going to miss the flight again, Ms. Olsen.”“No, we can't!” He
…It was a swift trip back to Phoenix City. The weather was clear and the sun was high up in the sky. Heidi squinted her eyes, using her palm to shield her forehead from the scorching sun. “Heidi, get in…” Lucas offered her a ride home, pulling his car over in front of her. “No thanks.” Heidi waived him off. “I'm done taking favors from you, Mr. Harrison. I hope we never meet again.”Good thing the company's car arrived to pick Heidi up. At that moment, before Lucas could pester her further, the car stopped in front of them and Heidi and Isla got in.It had been a swift journey back to Phoenix City, but also a long one.Heidi almost had a mental breakdown due to Lucas pestering her for answers. Again, he was back to questioning her about her response to his proposal.Otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to take the Mediation Certificate to the court. “Mr. Harrison was so scary!” Isla blew out a sigh. “Ms. Olsen, my heart almost jumped out from the way he looked at me.”“Avoid Lucas as
…Inside The Harrison Villa.Lucas took off his jacket and kicked off his shoes in the doorway. He entered the living room, tugging at his necktie and wiping off the perspiration on his forehead.Sitting on the couch, he brought out his phone and dialed a number. “Did you follow her?”“Yes, Mr. Harrison. However, Mrs. Harrison didn't go to the AG Group directly. I guess she knew that the paparazzi were waiting for her.”“Where did she go?” Lucas stood up. “Is it the Olsens Mansion?”“She went to a hospital. Hope Hospital.”Lucas hung up with a sigh. Heidi, that silly girl. Good thing she was aware she was sick!“Mira!” He called out the maid's name, sensing the vast emptiness in the house. Hearing no reply, he called out to her again. Then he noticed the speck of dust on the couches and also realized that the couch he sat on was dusty. Lucas walked upstairs, wondering if she was cleaning. But his bedroom door was tightly shut. And when he entered the bedroom, the place was messy
…“I want you to shut up!”Inside the Olsens Mansion, Grandpa Jeffery was greatly enraged as Heidi knelt in front of him.Heidi flinched, and pursed her lips. “Grandpa, I didn't go on a vacation but a business trip. Why are you so mad?”“Business trip, really?” Grandpa Jeffery towered in front of her. “While on the business trip, so many things have happened. Things went out of control, Heidi, did you let go of your responsibility and ran away?”“Grandpa!” Heidi whined, standing up and hugging his arm. “Please don't be mad. Why would I run from responsibilities? Didn't you see the huge amount of work I did on Mystic Island?”She helped Grandpa to his chair and went to the water dispenser then returned with a glass cup full of chilled water. “Calm down, Grandpa. Do you wanna have a heart attack because of me?”“You don't know how worried I've been,” Grandpa Jeffery grumbled. “You never cared to call me, and I thought you were hiding from me. If it wasn't for the driver, would I have k
“Mum, come on!”Heidi shifted uncomfortably, avoiding her mother's gaze, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her whole. “I haven't always been skinny, remember? It's normal to regain weight after gaining freedom from Lucas Harrison.”Regina let go of her hand, her eyes still interrogative. “Did you just gain weight? Heidi, I think-”“There's nothing to think about.” Heidi interrupted her, hugging her tightly. “Mum, I missed you so much. Where's Dad? Is he in town?”“Get off.” Regina pulled her away. “How should I know? Both you and your father love running from home.”Heidi sighed. “He has traveled again.”“The fifth time since you traveled,” Regina grumbled. “By the way, where's my son-in-law? Have you been keeping in touch? It's been quite a while since he visited us.”“Steve must be busy,” Heidi hugged her arm. “And can you please stop calling him your son-in-law?”“Didn't your grandfather tell you?”Heidi frowned. “Tell me what?”Regina looked happy as well as nervous. As
Inside the AG Group's General Conference Room…The shareholders were present as well as the major employees; the managers of the respective departments.Again, Harold Olsen and his allies never backed out of the perfect opportunity to downgrade her with words.“I told you guys it was a bad idea, but you all refused to listen!” Harold got to his feet, speaking boastfully. “Instead, you listened to my silly daughter who has been brainwashed by her grandfather. I told you Heidi can't handle this position, yet-”“Is it you who can handle it, Harold Olsen?” Grandpa Jeffery looked irritated. “This is a family business that's in trouble. Instead of using this medium to dictate your ambitions, why don't you offer some useful contributions?”“A scandal that has affected the whole Group shouldn't affect only me,” Heidi said. “It has affected us all, Uncle. Will you go out to the media and say the same thing?”“Well, you should take responsibility. We don't care if It was you who ordered those t
Heidi shuddered, fright jolting her heart. She staggered to her feet, stuttering, “Grandpa, H-How did you-”“You thought I wouldn't keep an eye on you!” Grandpa Jeffery hit the desk, and Heidi flinched. “I have been communicating with the yacht captain, okay? He reported every single situation on that Island.”Heidi swallowed- nothing. Her throat dried up, not helping the devastation causing her to lose gallons of fluids in the form of sweat. “Grandpa, I can explain…”“I don't want your explanation.” Grandpa Jeffery raised his hand. “I was planning not to bring it up, knowing you won't disappoint me and reunite with that Harrison boy. But since you hesitate about the wedding, I have this feeling of doubt.”“There’s nothing between Lucas and I. Grandpa, please believe me,” Heidi said desperately. “Don't listen to what the other people say.”“Well, there should better not be.” Grandpa Jeffery sighed and sat down. “To prove your honesty, give me permission to invite Steve Anderson and
