Nicole:

I had taken a seat just like he has offered me, but there was something else. I was honestly so worried. I didn't know were to start from. I was finished, and teiedmy best to understand where I was going to stand at this point. I knew it wasn't really easy.

My head ached due to the thoughts. I wasn't myself, I stood up every five minutes, trying to control the emotions that rushed through me. I was so annoyed. I didn't even know where to start. I felt there was a lot that was hidden from me.

“You're stressjng again. You should calm down. It's just two hours. Surgery didn't Something that you should actually be rushed. You know how most surgeries with complications are the rushed ones? You have to understand that your mother deserves the best.”

I heaved he moment he said something like that. I knew he had the right words to say to me. I wasn't really that bothered about it. I knew there was a lot of things involved. All I wanted at this point was simple. I wanted the do

    Nicole:I didn't actually know how much longer I could wait. My body didn't seem to be my own anymore. Everything happened so fast and I didn't even understand myself.I recalled falling asleep, mad about another hour had passed, but still nothing.“Are you sure we don't need to go in there to check what's going on? I have a strong feeling something that happened and no one is telling me anything about it.” I explained to him, hoping he would understand.“Come on. Stop being negative. The surgery isn't an easy one. If it was easy then it will not have needed a specialist to come handle this situation. You're a doctor. You should understand all these. Why are you making me explain? It's supposed to be the other way around.”“When I guess I'm the one who's mother is in the operating room. Or maybe it's because sometimes I forget that I am a doctor when my head is a mess, and right now, it's seeming to me that my head is in that messy state.”“You'll be fine, I'm sure of it. I'm pretty

    Nicole:I was still breathing hard while he was trying to calm me down. I put my hands on the bed and then clenched onto the sheets as though it was my last day on it.“You really need to calm down. I understand your worry about your nightmare, but I promise you nothing is going to happen to your mom. You have to understand that sometimes, these things happen as a result of all the things you've been pondering on. You've been thinking that you have been pondering on a lot of things. Infact, I wished there was a way for me to actually show you that it's just a nightmare.”“it felt so real…” I explained to him with tears welled up in my eye. This went what I was expecting, but it seemed like I didn't have much of a choice at this point. I just had to manage with whatever I had.“Well it's not. You should rest your head. You're feeling tired.”He expressed as he trailed his hands over my shoulder. I knew there was a lot to learn from everything that was going on. I didn't even know how

    Nicole:I woke up the next day feeling stronger than usual. I was so happy that things were even going well for me.“Wake up…. Good morning..” I said, and he smiled. Of course he was going to smile, not like he had any choice. I was going to make sure that there was a lot that I was told. My hands were wrapped around myself, and I discovered there was something he didn't worry about. “So you're going to work, or you're going with me today.”“I don't think I'm feeling well. The only thing I'm going to beg if you, now is pretty simple. I want you to understand that it's not easy. I want you to also smile because I know that isn't as easy as expected.“It's not like I have much of a choice, I am forced to agree to whatever you say.” he teased as I immediately smiled.Yeah. I was beyond stressed and even when I was going with him to the hospital. I wasn't going there to sit, but to actually do something else.I was going there to sit, and watched how he was going to recover slowly. I

    Nicole:We arrived at the hospital l, and noticed that things were the same any longer. It seemed as though things had taken another turn and I didn't even know about it in the first place. Not wanting to worry about it, I took in a deep breath, and sighed.Lucas and I walked towards the therapist office while I wheeled Aston there. It wasn't much of a stress, I was already used to it.“Good morning Mr Aston. It's so nice to see you. I hope you're feeling better. You called informationing me to reschedule yesterday's meeting. I'm not sure they do that here, but I know you were serious about not feeling well, so I had to make an exception. How are you?”“Yes thank you ma'am. I'm fine and you?” He threw back her question and she smiled. Well I wasn't sure that she smiled alone I guess. I noticed that she was interested in Aston's case.“The results are out. You wouldn't believe what it came out as.”“What?!” He expressed, and she pulled the envelope out. It was one of the reasons he ca

    Nicole:It was the next day at work and I was opportunity to come to the hospital with Aston again. Since I was going to be working, I waved him goodbye and went to my department, promising to check up on him later."I'll come check up on you later, okay?" I expressed with a smile, walking down the hallway. We have become So free with each other that spending time without one another felt strange."Alright, see you later..." he expressed and made me smiled. As I walked towards there, my countenance and a slowly changed into that of worry. I wanted to go to go check up on my mother, because it seemed as though she wasn't going to wake up."Are you going to wake up mom?" I asked her unconscious body, but when thre was no response, I pulled my regular chair, and took a seat.Everything was already done. The surgery have been performed and even the doctors didn't know when she was going to wake up which made my hope die even more. I spoke to being sad because Aston didn't want me to alw

    Nicole's povI had just finished taking care of the little girl, and had given her some meds for the pain when her parents approached me."Thank you so much, doctor. We never knew what we would have done if she actually had an infection on that arm."I smiled. "She was probably scared to tell you because she felt you would have scolded her, or something, but she's fine now. For now, I have her on some meds to get rid of the pain. Make sure the hand is always disinfected until it heals in about a week since the splinters weren't that deep."They nodded, feeling happy. I guess there was no reason for them to actually panic anymore."I'll be leaving you now." I explained, and they nodded, watching how I left the ward.As soon as I left the ward, I heaved. I knew my work was done, and since I hadn't been assigned any patients yet, I decided to check up on Aston.I took a long walk towards the therapy hall. I would have been with him, but only the patients were allowed in there, and I coul

    Aston:I had never seen her react the way she did. My heart drummed, and I wanted to go after her, but I knew she needed to calm down. Nicole was someone who was always sweet, and calm, but she had changed her tone today."Why did she act that way? I thought she was the one who asked me to come here. Why did she react as though I wasn't having the therapy session?" As I thought, there was a call from the doctor who asked me to come with her."We still need to continue our session. We still need to do something about your legs. I was checking it to see...""I dont need you to do the therapy anymore. Please can we reschedule?"She furrowed her brows. "You want to stop your session because she came in here to make a fuss about what was going on?" She explained, and was worried about the way things were.I shook my head. "I don't think there's a reason to continue I have already told you."She sighed. "I know that there's a lot of things involved. Your probably worried about what she said

    Nicole:I wasn't always this way, but I discovered how grumpy I became after everything. He was the one who caused me to be like this.It was one hour past closing time, but I didn't want to go home. I wanted to take time to relax, and push away what happened from my mind, but that wasn't possible."Just go home, and if he asks anything about what happened, pretend to ignore him. That's the only way you can actually ensure things fall in place."There was a way things were, but I heaved, trying to understand what was going on. I got a taxi that took me back home and by the time I stepped into the house, there was no sign of him.I breathed hard, and was trying my best to understand what was actually happening. It wasn't so easy, but I didn't want to meet with him."Nicole?" He called, and I was forced to stop in my tracks. I heard his voice behind me, and I took time to close my eyes."You're back?" He asked, and I turned to gaze into his eyes, but then I was becoming angry.Seeing

    Nicole's povI was still in thought as Lucas drove us to the place. I wanted to know what exactly was on his mind. Him saying he wanted to discuss with me was scary.My eyes looked through the window, and I used the scenery outside to console myself, but I wasn't sure I was in the right state of mind.My hands were shivering, and all I wanted was to hear what he had to say. I didn't know why, but for some reason, I felt strange about it.Finally getting to the place, I felt his eyes on me. Lucas helped him to get on his wheelchair and I pressed my lips together. I would have wanted to hear what he had to say from now on, but I decided to actually stay calm.It was more like a hotel, and I walked by his side while he wheeled himself."Did you actually reserve it as I asked you to?" He asked with raised brows, and I swallowed. Was the room really necessary, and what did he have installed?I panicked, but decided to trust him. Afterall, he said it was an important issue. I knew him, and

    Nicole's pov.I had been staying home for a while, but it was finally time to do something about it. It had been one week, one week without work, and I was feeling lazy."You seem lost in thoughts." I heard his voice behind me, causing me to turn towards him. I instantly spread a smile on my face. Besides, I felt he wanted a reply because he waited there until I sighed."Yes I am. I was about to go look for you. I was wondering if you'll let me go to work. Today's the weekend, and it's basically me being home for a week. I miss attending to patients."He furrowed his brows. "You have been attending to me, and I'm your patient, so? I spoke to the doctor for a two week bed rest because your case was pretty---"His first statement finally dawned on me."What the hell do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that there's actually another week left?' I asked, and when he nodded, I sighed."I can't do that. I can't stay for another week. I'm going to lose it. You're busy with work, mom ha

    Aston's pov.As I worked in my study, I found myself thinking about what I did. The way I inched close to her, wanting to plant a kiss on her lips was crazy.No.At the end, I plastered the kiss on her forehead instead of kissing her on the face directly. I was scared, and worried, that she might refuse.Whirling in thoughts, Lucas came into the office. He had a serious look on his face, and was strung at me, waiting for an order."Why are you just standing there, have a seat," I explained, making him move towards me. There was a smirk on his lips, but he still had something in mind."How is your wife feeling?" He asked when he finally found himself sitting opposite me."She's good. How about you?" I asked, and heard him laugh."I'm good, but you obviously are not. You seem bothered about everything I had just said to you. Don't you?" He asked, and there was no answer. Maybe because I knew what he was saying was true."Yes. I think I'm beginning to fall in love with her."He paused, a

    Nicole's pov.I swallowed. Indeed things were about to get awkward. Why was she asking me such questions. I felt like the questions were way too deep. I mean, it was something else."Mom!" I screamed, and she laughed."What? I just wanted to know, please.. don't take it the wrong way.""Mom please. How do I tell you this? I mean, there are so many things that are involved. I don't even know what to say." I begged with my face almost turning red."So you both have definitely--""Mom no. It's embarrassing. Please don't do this. I'm already too shy.""There's nothing to be shy about this. You're a woman. You're a grown woman now, and you're married as well. What do you expect me to do?""I expect you to be no ask me such a question. I mean, there are so many things that are involved. You are more of the quiet type. I understand, but you don't have to be shy about all of this. I'm sure you understand all right?""Yes I do. I really do, but I felt strange."She rolled her eyes. "Just answ

    Nicole's povI stood there, paleness creeping on my face. This wasn't what I was expecting. This wasn't what I wanted at all. My heart drummed, and I dabbed my eyes over the letter again to make sure I wasn't missing anything."You think you're happy, but you're not. I'm going to make you bleed."No words were said. I stood there, and swallowed. However, my head snapped to the door when I heard it being pushed open.Immediately I saw it, I folded the paper, and kicked it with my legs under the bed as I forced myself to wear a smile."Are you alright?" His brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on me with an etched of concern on his face."Yeah, I'm fine." I answered immediately, causing him to squint his eyes. That suspicious gaze was what I was trying my best to avoid, but I seemed like I wasn't doing a good job.He had known me so well to know something was bothering me, but until I opened up, I wasn't sure he knew exactly what the problem was.My heart drummed, and I was worried about

    Nicole's povLucas arrived later on, and it was finally time to return home.All the while, I just couldn't stop thinking about everything that occured at the hospital, but good-bye to them.The silence in the car echoed, and I remained in thoughts until his hands were wrapped around mine.I turned towards him, and saw how he passed me a smile that caused my heart to skip. I still didn't know what this feeling was. I felt really lonely when he wasn't around, and now him holding my hands made my heart skip in a good way."Are you okay? You seem to be in a lot of thoughts lately." He asked, but I smiled. What was I supposed to tell him? That he made me happy? That I wanted him to be with me for the rest of my life.That I didn't see this relationship ending soon? I knew I was slowly falling in love with a man that I married. My heart couldn't stop drumming, and I tried my best to understand why I was growing deeply attached to this man, but I guess he was just... He was just so nice to

    Nicole’s povThe next morning went pretty fast, and I was so happy about the way things were. Finally going to leave this place, and there was the feeling of peace in my heart."Someone's happy this morning..." He teased, and I blushed.I was particularly ready to leave this place, maybe that would stop the experiences I had been having for a while now."So What's taking so long?" I asked, and he smiled rhgbing my head."Can you at least me patient? I know you want to leave her as quickly as possible, but let the doctors do their job, okay?"I nodded, feeling sorry for him. Despite the fact that Lucas has been the one supplying us with meals, I still had a feeling he was tired. It wasn't easy to sit with me all day. Especially because he didn't have an ability to stand."Aston, are you alright? You seem a bit pale," I explained. My eyes were fixed on him, my face etched with worry as well."I guess I'm stressing a lot. But it's nothing. You're leaving here today, and you're going to

    Nicole's povI looked round the room and noticed the way things were. Everything seemed to be off. I swallowed, watching while Aston slept. He was awake just a few minutes ago, but must have dosed off due to Extreme fatigue."Who's there?" I asked with raised brows. I was feeling so worried about the way things were. My hands were shaking. I was peeking through the darkness to see who was there, but all I got was a shadowy figure.I need time to process what was going on."Who's there!" I screamed, my heart drummed like never before. I needed time to understand what was going on.Why was I the only one seeing this person."Aston! Aston!" I screamed, shaking him. I didn't know what else to do, but the worse part about it was that he was no even helping matters."Please wake up, please wake up!" I screamed. Why did I have a feeling that this was more serious than I thought."Aston please wake up, please..." I begged. I didn't know why, but I was extremely worried. I knew there was defi

Lucas made sure the girl was good enough."I smiled, and felt happy that he was taking good care of my mother really well. My heart drummed, and I felt good."So what's wrong? Why am I not being discharged. It's been a day already. Wouldn't mom be worried.""She would, but the good news is that I told her we'll be going on a trip to help us good off. You don't need to worry, okay?"I sighed, for some reason, I didn't want to be left here anymore. For some reason, I felt like I couldn't stay here abymkre because I felt like I wasn't alone."I can't stay here anymore. I need to leave here. You really don't understand what I mean.
