Olivia could already spot Nicholas leaning against the car, obviously waiting for her. She smiled and walked a bit faster.

“Hey Nik,”

“There's water in the car right?”

Nicholas nodded, his eyes keen on Olivia as he was surprised at the unnatural contours of her face.

“Are you okay, ma'am?” Nicholas asked, his gaze fixed on her.

“Yeah, I'm fine.” Olivia nodded, taking a deep breath.

    Lily slowly settled the knife on the sink, and wheeled herself out. “Who's there?” She asked, wheeling herself further into the room.“It's me ma'am, I brought your dinner.” The nurse said, pointing at the food on the desk.The nurse frowned, she narrowed her eyes, as if wanting to have a clear view of Lily's face, she noticed her red and puffy eyes. “Ma'am are you okay?” she asked, her gaze keen on her face.Lily forced out a smile and nodded, “I'm okay, something flew into my eyes, so I went to wash it out.”The nurse nodded though not convinced but she shrugged and nodded. “Alright then, don't hesitate to reach for the telephone if you need help.”“Thank you dear.”The nurse smiled and left.When was sure that she has left, she removed her facade and broke into tears, she had never felt as miserable as she felt right then.The only thoughts that were consuming her mind was to take her life, so she wouldn't feel anymore pain and guilt of being a worst mother.*****“You've been happ

    “How is she doing?” “I can't say she's fine, she's barely holding it in, I mean, she’s slowly losing it. The more she wants to fight the pain, the weaker she gets. She might lose the child if this doesn't go well. It's almost her second month of pregnancy.” The doctor said, staring at Morgan like he was the only hope.Morgan seemed to understand what the doctor was trying to tell him, after he seemed to think for a while, he nodded. “Once she's up, I'll take her home.” Morgan said, turning to look at the bed, where Olivia laid.“I'd get some medicines ready before then.”Morgan nodded.He is yet to tell Olivia about the findings of her mom's death, but her state of health, he wasn't ready to risk it, especially not when she's pregnant with his child.He already called Fredrick, to come down to Manilla, so he would be the one taking care of Olivia's health, he can't keep bringing her to the hospital all the time, besides Fredrick was more enhanced with medicines.It wasn't long befor

She was slowly losing her consciousness, as her shivering body began trembling violently. ******“Sir, I can't get to her, she's not taking the calls.” Nicholas reported worriedly.
