Nicole:I noticed how his tone changed, and when I glanced at him, I noticed how serious he was about finding the woman who hit me.I panicked. It wasn't supposed to be so. He wasn't supposed to care about It. “I have to find her, and make sure she apologises to you. Have you seen what she did to you? Her finger marks are all over your face,” his expression carried creased lines, and a deep frown. “Please don't do that. I'm stressed. I know that there's a lot involved, but it's going to be fine. I just need to relax, and that's all,” I expressed, pleading with him.As if listening to my words, he didn't say anything anymore. He sighed, and allowed me to move to the room.As soon as I got to the room, tears welled up in my eyes, and I sobbed for a little while. I could see my mother's fate, but I couldn't accept it. I shook my head, trying to console myself. I went to take a bath to refresh myself, but after the bath, my cheek still hurts. “She must have really hit hard…” I mumbled

Aston:I stared at her face as she slept Maybe it was because she looked as though she wasn't breathing. However, the moment I noticed her chest puffing, I exhaled.She almost scared me to death. Besides that, it was about one hour to the appointment, and she hadn't woken up yet. I didn't blame her though. Nicole had a hectic day yesterday, and she needed enough rest. Plus the movie yesterday was something else. She had fun and didn't sleep on time.As I contemplated on what to do, her eyes flashed open, and she gave me a chock gaze. Maybe because she didn't expect my face to be that close to hers. It was really strange. I immediately pulled my face away, and she heaved. “I'm sorry, I just didn't expect your face to be so close to mine. I got scared, and over reacted.” As soon as she said that, I brought up another topic. Hearing her say something like that made me feel strange.“Um, well thank goodness you're awake because the appointment time is in less than an hour.” At first,

Nicole:As soon as those words left my lips, I rushed away from Aston's side. I knew there was something wrong with my mom.“Excuse me, please can you tell me what's wrong with me mom?” I asked, following her as fast as I could. She was walking really fast.“I feel it's best if you see it yourself. Words can't explain,” she said, taking the next turn that led to my mother's room. I was beyond scared, but my fear wasn't compared to the shock I got when I got to the room.My heart stopped. I got confused. I stood in the way, trying to remind myself to breath while my eyes captured all that was going on.“No, no!” I screamed in my head, but re shock I went into didn't let me scream it out loud. Tears welled up in both my eyes, and before I knew what was going on, they streamed down as though the reservoir in my eyes had been let loose.“Mom…” i finally managed to gssp, but no one actually paid attention to me. The doctor's and nurses were all busy with my mother.I noticed the machines i

Aston:I watched my supposed wife ran off in the distance, and I had a puzzled expression on my face. My hands were fists, and I found myself worried. Did I know right?“Should we get going?” Lucas asked with raised brows. My assistant who has also been helping me around to places asked me.I stared towards where my wife ran to. I didn't want to leave her alone, but her words repeated in my head. I was shocked I didn't know what else to do.“Go home…” I heard her words in my head, and I sighed. Even when I wanted to go after her, I figured that there was no need for that to happen since she told me she would meet me at home.“Let’s get going….” I explained, and he nodded. Lucas didn't utter a single word. He was quiet, as he pushed me towards the car.When that happened, he helped me into the car, and placed the wheelchair into the trunk. I didn't do anything else.In the car, I was quiet, staring at my hands. The fact that the words of the nurse played in my head constantly was somet

Nicole:“Please… please I beg you doctor, I need you to save my mother …” I begged, inching closer to the end of the seat so I could hold the doctor's hand.Well, I did, but he pulled away, his expression cold. I noticed he was trying so hard to put up this act because he knew how much I tried my best.“Please doctor, don't do this to me. My mother is the only person I have. She's the closest things to family that I have.”He sighed. “Well, now that you're saying it this way, you should look for a way to save her because I know that you need a way to actually save her. So do something. Get the money needed for the surgery. You know how much that would help her now right?” he asked with raised brows, and got no reply. How I was supposed to gets such amount of money. I was so scared.“Listen Nicole, the hospital isn’t running a charity, I'll keep saying this to you. The only reason why your mom hasn't been. Discharge is because you work here. But after three days, anything that happens

Aston:I rolled myself out of the room, and towards my study, pondering nonstop about what she was saying. It wasn't making sense. What she said wasn't colliding with the expression I noticed there. There was fear, tension, and worry. Also, I clearly heard the nurse mention something about her mother being in the hospital.Was I going crazy? It was something I didn't really understand, and I wished to share it with someone.As soon as I sighed, there was a knock on my door. I furrowed my brows because I wasn't expecting anyone, but then I decided to allow whoever it was in.“Come in…” i uttered just like I said, the door was pushed open, revealing Lucas. He walked in, closing the door behind him.“Sit.” I instructed, gesturing to the seat opposite me. I didn't mind at all. I was in need of someone to talk to, so him being here was the perfect opportunity.“The young miss is back. You said you were going to talk to her, and a few minutes later, I see you leaving your room for the study

Aston:I watched the investigator nod to my words. We had finally made an agreement, and I hoped he was going to keep to it.“Great. It's nice working with you. I would make sure to wit for your response which would be when you promised right?”The investigator nodded, and I turned to Lucas.“You'll escort him out.” Lucas who was already aware didn't worry. He nodded, and escorted the private investigator only to return back with a smug look on his face.“Did you really have to be so are on him, I was beginning to worry about him then I was worried about the case.” He expressed, and I wore a serious expression.“It's not my fault. You see the issue is that I feel the need to understand the situation on ground is greater than I imagined. I want o unlock the truth behind her being all suspicious.”No one said anything afterwards, and we went back to work.“Hoes the company doing. I have no idea the affairs over there since I haven't gone there in a while.”I wasn't joking. Ever since th

Nicole:Was it just me, or was the day going faster, and I was closer to almost losing my mom. Soon it was going to be three days, and her situation will no longer be managed.My heart drummed, and I tried not to cry. I was starting to feel depressed inside. I knew my mother wouldn't survive so I was already staring to have myself for anything that would be involved at this point,I wasn't really sure I cared, all I wanted was simple. I wanted her to be alright, but the universe hayd me so much.My life her to be this hard. Everything was taken away from me, and now my mother was about to be added to the list.As I thought, something caught my attention. My page was beeping, and I found it was ste doctor incharge of my mother's case.“He's paging?” I felt a glimmer of hope but immediately killed it when I recalled his response to the request I gave yesterday.Maybe he was actually calling me to tell me about all I was going through. He wanted me to know more about how important the su

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. You left here to sleep because I persuaded you, didn't I?" I asked with raised brows, and he nodded. His eyes were fixed on me."Yes you did." He had an express on his face t
