Henry stared at his parents in confusion. First, they showed up in his ward without any notice and now they want him to take them to Eve?He began to stammer while stroking his forehead. "Well, ...Uhmm,, Eve is still resting and I'm not sure if she's allowed to see anyone yet."Henry quickly turned away, wishing they wouldn't push it. He had wanted to see Eve the moment he opened his eyes that morning but after the little drama Olivia staged the previous day, he wasn't sure if he could still go to see her.What if Olivia blames him again right before his parents? his mind taunted him.Pearl grabbed her bag from the table and hung it around her left palm. " Just take us to her room son. I'm worried about her."Mr Richard cleared his throat loudly. "We just want to ensure she's doing okay and besides, she's your responsibility since she was with you in the car when the accident occurred."Henry gave a sheepish grin. His parents were not going to back out, he knew it. He slowly got down
Henry palmed his forehead with his left hand. The whole non-stop drama that began the previous day was driving him insane. He was tired."What are you saying, Bloom?" Richard flared up. "Are you saying my son tried to kill Eve? What if he was in the one in Eve's condition and she was the driver? Would you still blame your daughter for attempting to murder him?""I know my daughter." Mr Bloom fired back. He pointed a finger at Henry. "Your son is to be blamed for all this and I swear if anything happens to my child then I won't spare him."The women were hopeless. Their husbands were beginning to blow off the roof.Henry drifted backwards and slipped to a corner. He rested his aching back against the wall, folded his arms across his chest and pondered why Mr Bloom would blame him for Eve's condition when the cause of the accident was unknown to him.He shifted his gaze from the blank wall to the men. They were still throwing words at each other while their hopeless wives were trying to
Henry smiled at the woman for a job well done. He turned to Mrs Bloom and was about to speak when she sharply cut in."It's okay Henry." she cut down his apology with a smile."Can I go to the room and see her?" he demanded and pointed to the door leading to Eve's private ward.With an approving nod, she replied. "Of course, you can. She's still asleep and mustn't be disturbed." Mrs Bloom hinted.Henry gave a warm smile. "I understand Mrs Bloom. I just want to see her condition."His mother was about to take steps after him when Mrs Bloom alerted her to stop."Can I talk to you for a moment?" "Of course," Pearl replied and followed Mrs Bloom to a corner by the end of the hallway.Henry heaved a deep sigh before pushing the door to the ward in. He slowly made his way into the room and stooped by the bed.Eve was still asleep. He went back and carefully slammed the door behind him. He took slow steps toward Eve. He strode to her right, grabbed the stool tucked under the table by the c
Henry couldn't hide his excitement. He aimed for the door to get the doctor. Eve opened her eyes and a clumsy yawn escaped. "Where am I?" she mumbled and tried to rove her heavy eyes around the ward.She pressed her eyes against each other and quickly opened them after her brain picked up a burning sensation. The door to the room was pushed open and the first person Eve's eyes caught a glance of was a woman dressed in a white ward coat.She hurried toward the bed while Mrs Bloom, Henry and his mother went after her.Mrs Bloom stood by the table with a bright smile as she watch the doctor checking Eve. Henry and his mother remained by the door."Do you know where you are?" The doctor asked her with a warm smile.Eve took a deep breath. "In a hospital I guess." she slowly replied and shut her eyes after feeling a sharp pain around her forehead."Do you remember anything?" the doctor demanded.Eve's eyes were still shut. She didn't utter a word.The doctor motioned to Mrs Bloom to come
"Careful!" Mrs Bloom cautioned her daughter as she helped her to get down from the vehicle. Immediately after the vehicle came to halt, Mr Bloom quickly stepped out and opened the car door for them. Eve was discharged. It's been two days since I regained consciousness.Her mother led her out of the vehicle with her arm placed around her. The shrunken Eve was led into her apartment by her father while her mother went to take things out of their cab trunk.The apartment was tidied by Jen and Olivia. Throughout the past two days, they had been up and doing to ensure Eve and her parents were comfortable in the hospital.Mr and Mrs Bloom led Eve to her bedroom. She quickly slipped into a deep snooze while Mrs Bloom stepped into the kitchen to make lunch. She had complained to her husband on several occasions that she was tired of the junk they had been consuming at the hospital.****Eve slowly opened her eyes after she sensed movements in her bedroom. It's been three days since her paren
Eve took graceful steps down the street. She was dressed in a floral purple gown and tied her hair into a loose bun. While fixing her make-up that morning, she noticed the sudden change in her weight after facing the dressing mirror. She couldn't help but wonder how possible it was to lose much weight in a week.She adjusted the black bag that hung around her arm and hailed a cab. Immediately after stepping inside the vehicle, she heaved a deep sigh and pressed her bag to her chest wondering what awaits her at the office.After she got to the company, she met a group of security personnel at the entrance who took turns greeting her and asking about her health. She knew it, word had gone around the company that she was involved in an accident with the CEO.At the reception, the workers who were heading out and others who were marching to their units stopped to greet her. She smiled faintly at them and almost got tired of telling them that she had fully recovered.Thank Goodness she had
The aggressive pushing of Henry's door inside caused him to lift his head with a quirked brow.The furious Eve walked into the office fuming while Phil hurried after her amidst heavy pants."I'm sorry!" Phil apologised and tried to catch his breath. He wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead with the back of his palm.Who could have thought that trying to calm down a raging woman would turn out to be such hard work?Henry sighed and dropped the pen he was clasping on the file before him. He lifted his head and caught Eve standing before him like a volcano that was going to erupt. Her lips were curled up in irritation.Henry pointed to the door. "It's okay Phil, you can head back to your office."Eve turned to stare at the new assistant. Did Henry just ask him to return to his office? Does that mean that he had replaced her?"Impossible!" she muttered under her breath before giving a long hiss.Phil gave a slight bow. "I tried to stop her boss but she wouldn't listen to me.
Henry cast his gaze on the table and went on checking the file before him. He lifted his head and discovered that she was still towering above him.What else? he thought and positioned both his hands on the table knowing that she still had a lot to say."Why didn't you check up on me?" she blurted with her gaze fixed on him.Henry wanted to hold up her stare but he didn't. From her eyes, he could sense that she was hurt and he wondered whether he had betrayed her."I forgot." He replied with his face averted from her.Eve gave a dry smile. Oh hell, he didn't forget about her. She knew he abandoned her and wasn't ready to tell her why."I remember every damn thing," she told him.Henry swallowed and turned to her. "You do?" he demanded with a raised brow.She gave repeated nods. After she left the hospital, her mother and Olivia engaged her in a series of interviews trying to figure out whether she recalled what triggered the accident.She gave them cold replies stating that the last
