She squeezed her eyes with her knuckles, thinking she was just seeing things. However, when she saw Hendrix’s father show up behind Wilma, that was when she finally realized that it was real. ‘What are they doing here?!’ her mind screamed internally. She was already hysterical. Her heart suddenly felt weak as her knees wobbled. Meanwhile, Dinah turned to her and put her hands on her shoulders. “Babe..” she muttered. Her eyes were wide as she stared at her cousin and her heart went wilder upon seeing Dinah's somber expression. Suddenly, she wanted to run away and hide somewhere. Feeling something bad was about to happen, she wanted to go as far as she could away from them and rather be clueless. “I changed my mind. I wanted to go home,” she said. She was about to remove Dinah’s hands off her shoulders when she saw the latter shaking her head as if warning her not to do that. Pursing her lips, her eyebrows deeply furrowed as she stared at her cousin. “You need to know something.
“Josh?” Margaux’s eyebrows deeply furrowed as she stared at the guy in front of her. Josh’s body stiffened before he slowly turned around to face her. Their eyes met and she could see his shock upon seeing her. “Margaux?” His eyes were wide as though he saw a ghost. Margaux pursed her lips as her gaze shifted to the closed door. Her fingers curled, thinking that she was stuck there with him, of all people. “Are you going to–” “I’m going home,” she quickly cut him off. Her gaze went back to Josh and her eyes narrowed upon seeing him looking at her in disbelief. “Really? You mean..” he trailed off. She clicked her tongue. Annoyed that she was trapped in that place. Looking away, she did not bother to say anything as she was aware that the words that will come out from her mouth will not be good. “I’m sorry. I didn't see you there,” he muttered. Shaking her head, she let out a heavy sigh. How unfortunate she was to be in such a situation where she can’t get out of the place she
She got goosebumps and her insides trembled upon hearing that. She wanted to deny it and make herself believe that it was just hallucinations that she did not hear it right. However, the nurses were just only a few steps down towards where she was while the area they were in were enclosed and the voices would echoe even if they speak with a low tone. “Of course they will. The patient is Miss Margaux’s husband so..” the nurse trailed off. It was as if they sensed her presence behind them, one of the nurses suddenly looked at her direction and gasped upon realizing that someone was listening to their conversation. “M-miss Margaux..” she stammered. Her colleague followed her gaze and just like the first one, she gasped as well and got frozen on the spot. Margaux just stood there, feeling cold all over. Her brain just stopped functioning while her heart swelled in pain. She couldn't speak. She wanted to confirm what she had just heard but no words were coming out from her mouth as i
“No..” Margaux shook her head profusely. Her body was shaking tremendously. She did not want to believe it because she couldn’t understand how it was possible that Hendrix was in critical condition. He was very healthy when he showed up in her office. There was nothing wrong with him when they last saw each other. Was he sick? Was it the reason why he was hiding from her? Her tears were streaming fast as if there was a competition of who's going to fall first. While the pain she was feeling suddenly disappeared as she felt numb all over.“I’m sorry we weren’t able to tell you right away. We were so scared of how you were going to take the news in. Daisy even bled because she was so worried about you..” Dinah explained.Without much strength, she pulled her cousin away from her. “I don’t believe you..” she weakly muttered. “Margaux..” Dinah’s voice cracked. “Please believe me that we don’t want to keep this from you. I even took you to his room because I can’t keep it from you for
Margaux was so shocked that her body stiffened. That person who was sitting next to her continued wiping her tears, oblivious of her shock. “I hate seeing you cry,” the stranger stated as though they have known each other for a long time. Slowly, she turned her head and looked on her side to see who it was. The creases on her forehead deepened when she finally recovered and realized that it was Josh. “Why are you here?” She queried. Josh smiled at her as if he already anticipated that she was going to ask that question. He then put his handkerchief inside his jacket before he answered. “I can’t let you leave in that state so I followed you,” he shrugged. Her face was filled with disbelief as she stared at the guy next to her. She did not need any companions and just wanted to be alone, far from everyone she knew. In an instant, he blood boiled as she did not like what Josh was doing. “Who said you could follow me? I wanted to be alone,” she hissed. Josh seemed taken a
Margaux quickly struggled in Josh’s arms. She knew what was happening and she won’t let that man leave without her breaking that camera that took her picture while being carried by Josh. However, Josh tightened his hold on her and her injury was becoming more painful that immediately stopped her from moving. “You planned this, did you?!” She glared at Josh. “That man has been following me and took this opportunity to capture us for what?!” She hit him and had no remorse doing so. She was so angry at his scheme and she knew he was doing it to ruin her plan of getting back with Hendrix. Was it love? Definitely not. Because if Josh really does love her, he won’t harm her in any way. Smiling bitterly, she finally stopped hitting him and just covered her face in frustration. “Put me down,” she said sternly. “But..” “I said put me down!” She spat. Josh carefully put her down and hesitantly looked at her. Meanwhile, her face contorted as she felt the pain on her right foot as
“Margaux, I was the one who invited them here,” her mother stated calmly. Margaux looked at her mother incredulously, disbelieving of what her mother had just said. Meanwhile, Felissa caressed her hair gently and gave her a reassuring smile. “They are here to check on you..” Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at her two wanted visitors. “Check on me?” She repeated. Her voice was full of sarcasm and she did not even try to hide it. She knew her mother would reprimand her for it, but she did not want to pretend to be okay with it when it was not really what she was feeling over their visit. “I’ve talked to them while you were asleep, sweetheart. There’s no harm in listening to them first before you decide whether to believe them or not. They’re still Hendrix’s parents. They are still your in-laws”The last sentence made her flinch. ‘In-laws?!’ her mind exclaimed. She stared at her mother with wide eyes as she could not believe that those words came from her mouth. But then, she
“What happened to him?” she bravely asked. She saw her mother helped Wilma to stand up and made her sit down on the sofa and told David to sit down as well. They did not respond right away and she was even glad about it, because she was still processing about Hendrix’s situation and was not sure if she was ready for more information. “Margaux, you should take a rest first. We’ll talk about this later..” her mother stated. She quickly shook her head. How can she rest knowing that her husband was in critical condition? Her mind won’t be at ease now after accepting the truth. She wanted to know everything. She wanted to know how he ended up that way. Deep in her heart, she was still in disbelief because she hadn't seen him in the hospital bed unconscious with her own eyes. “I need to know now, Mom. Please tell me what happened to him,” she said, almost pleading.She even got up on the bed and was about to stand up. If not only for her sprained ankle, she would’ve run to the room n
