THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET: I shouldn't have divorced y CHAPTER 19: THE HOSPITAL
Chapter 19“Where am I?” What am I doing here?”Lila tried to raise herself up from the bed, but her feeble knees and tired hands were too weak to allow her to do that.She looked around and saw a man in white, with his name tag showing that he's a doctor at Denyce Hospital, smiling at her.“Ah, madam! You're awake! Thank goodness!” The doctor said and let out a heavy sigh.“Lila was dumbfounded; she neither returned the smile nor said anything. She still didn't understand why she was in a hospital gown instead of her clothes and her hands patched with bandages.“Doctor, why am I in a hospital?” She asked calmly.The doctor was not quick to answer her; he just smiled at her again, and immediately, she saw a young lady walk in and stand beside the doctor—probably, she should be a nurse or doctor because she's also on white.“Ok, this is nurse Kate; you can tell her anything you want and how you feel from now on. She'll always be there for you.”“Nurse, over to you. I'm off to my office

Chapter 20The nurse started thinking suspiciously of Lila. She immediately took out her phone to check the latest news channel. In the media platform, current news is always disseminated first before any other news channel would capture it. It always has reports of events happening live and even the ones that took place just thirty minutes a while. “If she's a criminal, I should be able to find something about her here. It's been three days since this accident happened.” The nurse thought.Lila could not tell why the nurse’s look at her changed at the moment.She noticed how the nurse stylishly took her head up and down, looking at her while she pressed her phone. But that one is of no concern to her. The most important thing is that no one in her family knows where she is.Lila looked beside her bed but couldn't catch sight of any of her belongings—her bag.“Excuse me, nurse, do you see my handbag?”“Yes, I was supposed to give it to you when you wake up. Please, excuse me, let me

Chapter 21“Grey shun?” Lila was quite surprised to see that he was the topic of the town. She tried to keep her face away from their sight to avoid one of them saying that she knows her or looks familiar to Grey's wife-ex-wife.Lila wished that something would keep delaying nurse Tonia in the laboratory so that she could have the chance to listen to the full gossip.“Abeg, I'm too curious to hear this gist. Can you just start and stop wasting our time?” One of the nurses said.“Alright, do you know his 2-year-old daughter?” the nurse paused and put her hands on her chin to remember something before she continued.“What is the name of the girl again,... Ehem, Jannel?”“Rumour has it that Jannel is not his daughter!”“What?” All the rest echoed in shock.“Are you for real, right now?” Their voices echoing coincidentally.“Of course, yes. Trust me, I don't spread fake gossip! I always do my research before believing in gossip.” The nurse explained.“And to crown it all, I also heard tha

Chapter 22“It's okay. You guys have digested enough of this man's topic today. Don't you people have work to do? It's high time you allow the sleeping dog to lay and go face your work!” Nurse Tonia scolded them, and they all dispatched to their various duty posts before she continued moving with Lila.“I'm sorry for keeping you out here for so long, Lila. I had to ensure that the scientists were doing the right thing.”“No problem, nurse Tonia D; I totally understand. You see, that's why I told you even before now that you're the best. And you can see for yourself now!” Lila said jokingly, and they both laughed.“Besides, I wasn't bored at all. At least I was entertained by their discussion.” Lila added, so that she could hear nurse Tonia's side of the story and how she'll judge it.“Never mind those gossips. They can't face their lives except to gossip about others.” Nurse Tonia scoffed.“Lols!” Lila smiled.“You don't have to blame them. They're only humans. So if you give people

Chapter 23YOU'RE PREGNANT Lila's face brimmed with joy with ceaseless smiles before she started reading the letter. Relaxing her back on the pillow, she focused her attention on the letter as she read,“Dear, Stanger, I don't know you, and I'm sure the same applies to you. I hope this letter finds you in good health. I'm sorry, I couldn't wait for you to wake up so that we can talk and, at least, know each other.I couldn't help but carry you to the nearest hospital when I saw your helpless condition after being hit by a car. I lost my mother to the cold hands of death through an accident because no one was there to save her when it happened until she finally gave up. Since then, I promised never to see an accident victim pass by without helping out. I hope the doctors and nurses take good care of you to speed up your healing process.I wish you a quick recovery, my dear. And next time, be careful of walking around in the night.Yours sincerely.”The writer only ended the letter w

Chapter 24Lila's weird reactions never cease to stun nurse Tonia. She gazed at her in silence, with several thoughts conceived in her mind.“Why is everything about her different? On a hospital bed, she doesn't want her family to know, and now pregnant, she's not happy! What actually could be her problem?”"Congratulations, ma'am,” nurse Tonia said with a faint smile, trying to cover her suspicions.Lila wasn't quick to answer. She glared at nurse Tonia and, at the same time, her test result.“Congratulations, ma'am,” nurse Tonia repeated.“Oh, thank you, nurse,” Lila replied with her voice devoid of any joy, not even a fake smile.“Nurse? Just a nurse? Something must be wrong! But I can't just go ahead and ask. Let me mind my business. She'll tell me when she wants to.” Nurse Tonia thought and shrugged.She was quite surprised because that was the first time Lila addressed her without including her name, Tonia D.“Nurse Tonia,”“Yes, ma'am Lila,” she replied with a smile.“Since I

Chapter 25Lila stared at Aunt Kendy in silence. She wished there's a way age could escape answering that question.“Miss Lila,” Aunt Kendy waved her hand over her face.“Did I say something wrong?”“No. Not at all.” I'm just wishing that I see that good Samaritan that brought me here.” Lila tried to convince her with a lie.She pointed her things to Aunt Kendy, who helped her arrange them in a bag before they left.“Please don't forget, ma'am Lila, you have an appointment with the obstetrician in the next three days. Hope to see you soon.” Nurse Tonia concluded before waving her goodbye.“Obstetrician? Isn't that a doctor that handles pregnancy issues? Does that mean my miss Lila is pregnant?” Kendy thought to herself, but fear won't let her voice her curiosity out.Lila called her cap driver to come pick them up.While they engaged in conversations in the car, Kendy observed that Lila was always finding a means to terminate or change the focus of any discussion that had to do with h

Chapter 26Seeing the fierce look in her eyes as she made such a declaration, Aunt Kendy was moved with pity for her, as she imagined the pains her princess must have passed through for the sake of marriage.“If you have any stuff you'll love to carry along, please do that by tomorrow. Our flight is in the next two days. Try and ensure you don't forget any valuables.” Lila suggested.“Mum, you've been quiet since you got back from the hospital. Is everything okay?” Grey asked his mother.“Besides, you've been looking so pale lately.” He added.Mrs. Shun’s mind and emotions had been shattered since the day Lila overheard her conversation with her stepmother.“Of course, I'm sure she heard us. That girl is a devil! I know she was just lying when she said she didn't hear anything.” She thought to herself.“I'm fine, son. I'm just worried about Cynthia's dad's condition. I really pray he should get well soon, you know. Because Anabella is too close to him, and it would be bad if that litt

CHAPTER 47Meeting With Brian Silence and confusion were welcomed in the atmosphere for a while. Barrister Joe and Aunt Kendy were totally naive of what was going on, while Brian and Lila, on the other hand, tried to conceal the reality of them knowing each other before now.“Yes, I mean, no,” Like answered counter actively.“His face just looks familiar because I've once seen him on social media before now,” she claimed.“Yeah, she's right. I can remember her following me on all my social media handles and would always give a thumbs up to our quality product advertisements,” Brian concluded and agreed with what she said.“Wow! That's good to hear. It shows that Mrs. Lila has been in love with the company since before she even married my client. With this, I believe you'll manage it well, as my late client has always wished it to be.” Barrister Joe agreed to their explanations and commented.Lila and Damian exchanged side glances and heaved a sigh of relief for successfully convincin

CHAPTER 46His last will“I said it! I knew you were a shameless whore since the day you stepped your feet into this office! I pity you, prospective widow!” Joan sneered and spat as Lila passed through her office to get to her husband's office, Mr Damian.“You know what? At least mine is better. I'm legally married to him. But come to think of it, what do we call ladies like you who shamelessly indulge in illicit affairs with their bosses in the office, knowing fully well that those bosses can never marry them?” Lila stood and looked eyeball to eyeball before uttering those words.“How dare you!” Joan yelled angrily, lifting her hands to rain down a slap on Lila's face, but her hands got stuck up in the air as Lila prevented it from meeting her face.“Try it, and you'll see yourself walking out of this company in the next 10 minutes. Remember, your partner in crime would not be an exception to this,” Lila threatened and dropped her hands violently as she proceeded to her husband's off

Chapter 45Lila stared back at him; her heart was troubled; actually, no woman would want to be a widow at a young age, not even her.But considering the fact that God can change situations around, her fears diminished, and by the way, her love for him has outgrown words.“You're not going to make a widow out of any woman, Damian, not even me.”Damian peered at her suspiciously, trying to get a clearer meaning of what she's saying.“Fred not, Damian,” Lila said with a faint smile the moment she noticed the look on his face.“I'm not leaving you! What I mean is—" She paused and took a deep breath before she continued, “I'll love you till the end, and I want you to take away the fear of death, because you are not dying anytime soon,” she encouraged him, moving closer to let their bodies stick and lips meet in sync.“Oh, I'm sorry, I..." The door suddenly opened, and a voice stuttering words of apology echoed.Lila immediately pulled herself from the embrace, and Damian arranged his suit

CHAPTER 44Confessing the feelings Lila was quite puzzled at his words. This was a dream she least expected would ever come true.Indeed, when next they say destiny has a way of bringing people together, she wouldn't spare a moment to believe it wholeheartedly.“But,”“I know the conceptions in your mind,” Damian interrupted before Lila could even spell out what she intends to say.But Lila still looked puzzled. How can he say he knows her mind already when she was thinking beyond the ordinary?Damian locked his palms into hers. “I'll tell you all that you need to know, but just promise me one thing,” he said calmly.Lila's confusion became intense; this discussion is getting more serious than she thought.“Promise that you'll still love me even after telling you everything,” he said, peering at her.“Lila, there's no need for you to deny it. I know already that you love me.”She squinted; her mind throbbed at the severity of his demands. He's right, her love for him was obvious alr

Chapter 43Aunt Kendy felt pretty numb. Everything Lila had said seemed unnervingly ironic.“Kendy, you have to be careful of the kind of advice you offer to a person in this kind of situation. This is a critical moment in her life, and she's dependent on you now to make a good choice,” she scolded herself.Slowly and gradually, she took her hands from Lila's shoulders and moved to lean on the table, ensuring direct eye contact with Lila.“But did you tell him that you're married?” She demanded softly.“No, aunty. I had to feign having a light stomach ache, which was why he rushed me home.”“Hmmmm,” Aunt Kendy sighs.“I'll advise that you tell him the truth when next he confronts you about that again.”“Aunt Kendy! I can't do that!” Lila exclaimed.“Look, you have to do it, my dear. That's the only truth that can give you peace of mind. If he's meant for you, he'll stay, but if he's not, he'll definitely leave. Besides, you're not too sure if he's married or not, or maybe even divorce

Chapter 42Lila's heart throbbed and swelled up as the question rang in her head. Finally, a day she had earnestly prayed for never to come is here.She feigned dumb to his question and sat without saying anything, until Damian got prompted to ask a second time, “Miss Lila, why is your look on the wall so intense? You love the wall paper designs, I guess?" He said softly with a smirk.Immediately, Lila trembled and nodded as if taken unawares, “Yeah, the design. It looks really amazing, you know,” she remarked.Not until he asked the question, Lila didn't even notice the wallpaper design. What was in her mind was a different thing altogether.He stood and slouched to the fridge, which was at the right corner of the dining room, and brought out a bottle of champagne.“Alright,” he said, dropping the two glass cups on the stool while he gradually poured out the drink into them.“From now henceforth, I'm not only your boss at the office, nor are you only my staff, but we're friends! So l

Chapter 41“I'm alive because of you! Thank you, Mr. Saviour!” She exclaimed in whispers.In great exhilaration, Lila left her seat, and with her arms widely opened like a bird flying in the air, she gummed her body on Damian's in tight clasps.“Thank God you're alive! I'm sorry, I couldn't wait to see you recover,” Mr. Damian whispered, with his hands wrapped around her back and her head on his shoulders.The dim and calm blue light makes the environment extremely cozy for lovers.Lila heaved a sigh of relief, his arms offering her a comfort she had never felt in her entire life.Even her wedding night with Grey was not as enticing as this.Her heart melted; a feeling of problem-less life dawned on her.“I'm also alive because of you! Who knows, I might have passed out completely if you were not with me in the office. Thanks to Joan, right? For splashing the coffee on you,” he admitted jokingly.“Com'on, so you're now mocking me, right?” Lila chuckled as she slowly began to lose grip

Chapter 40Meeting Mr. Saviour As they made their way through the estate, their journey came to a halt in front of a 3-story building, which was remarkably outstanding in the estate because of its elegant features.“Welcome to my home, Lila,” Mr. Damian said with a smile.“Wow! This place looks really amazing,” Lila commented as they got into the well-furnished living room.She expected to see a maid or a servant step out to welcome them, but she saw none.Isn't this house too big for one person to live in?Besides, who does the cleaning and cooking for him? She thought inwardly while her gaze shifted from one angle to the other in admiration for the features on the wall.“Feel free and have your seat, Lila. I'll be with you in a short while,” Mr. Damian goes on to say before he leaves for one of the rooms on the ground floor.“Oh my God!” Lila exclaimed when she saw Mr. Damian ambled with a tray to her front.The aura in the room changed immediately by the savory of the dishes.“I k

Chapter 39Caring for her bossLila walked towards the hospital route, pondering Aunt Kendy's words.But there were some elements of truth in what she was saying!If not, why is she so attached and concerned about him more than a normal boss and staff rapport?But even if she later falls in love with him and he feels the same towards her, what would she do with her pregnancy?Of course, no single man would want to marry a divorced and pregnant woman.She felt an utmost discouragement dawning on her for keeping the pregnancy, but a sharp voice scolded her instantly, “Remember, your child is your utmost priority!”“That's true. After all, my purpose of being in this town is to re-establish myself and my career, not to fall in love.” She consoled herself and distracted her thoughts with a different thing.“Daughter of the devil!” Joan glared and hissed at Lila the moment she stepped into the hospital ward.Lila feigned deafness to her statement and proceeded to stand beside Damian's bed.
