All Chapters of The Billionaire's Bartender Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Veronica-Since waking up, I have been trying to figure out how I got home and who made the food for me. I remember leaving the hospital and walking a little, but the rest was blank. I didn’t think it was Lily, considering I knew she was going to stay with Andrew.My thoughts went to Lyrek, except I quickly disregarded the possibility. Out of all the people it could have been, I doubted it was him. Maybe Rick had seen me walking and helped me home. That was the only other option I could think of.No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t remember anything from the night before. Sighing, I cleaned up the few dishes I used to eat breakfast then went back to the bedroom to grab my phone off the charger. I slept longer than I wanted, but I was feeling more refreshed.Having slept for about ten hours, getting a shower and food in me, I almost felt like a completely new person. I checked my phone but didn’t see any messages or missed calls. Grabbing my keys, I headed out of the penth

Veronica-“Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.” I told Dr. Hendrix when I sat on the sofa across from her.As always, she sat in a chair that looked rather uncomfortable. She had a pen and pad in her hand. Everything about her screamed therapist, from her appearance down to the way she sat in the chair. Even the glasses she wore, low on her nose, looked more for aesthetics rather than because she needed them.“I am glad you called, to be honest. After our last session, I was a little concerned about how you might be dealing with things. Have things improved since the last time you were here?” With the way she spoke, it seemed more formal than comfortable.It did make me a little nervous. Unlike talking to someone I know, like Lily, it felt as if I was being examined under a microscope. Perhaps this was why I wasn’t too keen on coming here to talk about my problems.“In some aspects they have. I was just told that my brother is officially cancer free and will be released from

Veronica-When I reached the doors that would lead me outside, I noticed it was raining hard. For only a split second did I hesitate and considered returning upstairs to grab an umbrella. In the end, I chose to not worry about it, because I needed to get to Lyrek to try to save our relationship.“Miss! It is pouring outside!” I heard someone yell out, but I ignored them as I ran out into the rain.As the water from the sky pelted down on me, I shivered slightly from the chill in the air. As fast as my legs could carry me, I ran towards the bar. Very few people were outside roaming around.At least they had enough sense to hold an umbrella, unlike me. The distance from the penthouse to the bar felt like it would never end. At least that was how it seemed until the entrance to the bar was within sight.Just as I was about to come to a stop outside the bar, someone opened the door and I skidded to a stop. To my relief, it was Lyrek that had stepped outside, which meant I hadn’t missed my

Veronica-“Hello?” The sound of Lyrek’s voice woke me up.Rolling over, I saw he was sitting up holding his phone to his ear. Seeing him next to me in bed filled me with a sense of security. For a moment, I thought maybe I had dreamed of our meeting last night.“I will be there soon. If he wants to try walking to the restroom by himself, let him. Wrap a gait belt around his waist to assist him.” Lyrek paused as he listened to the person he was on the phone with. “Whatever you do, do not let him fall. It isn’t that he can’t walk; he just hasn’t been strong enough to hold himself up. This is a good thing if he manages to walk. As I said, I will head in shortly.”Listening to his one-sided conversation, I wondered if he was talking about Andrew. Sitting up in bed a little, I propped myself on my elbow. His attention came to rest on me as he still held the phone to his ear.“Okay.” He spoke into the phone and then hung up.“What is wrong?” I asked, my voice sounding groggy to my ears.“An

Veronica-Waiting another two days after my fever broke, I was ready to get out of the house. The first place I decided to go was to the bar to get some paperwork that Rick wanted me to do before I could start working as a manager. We also needed to look over the schedule, to figure out when I was going to start.We decided on two weeks from now, which would give me enough time to help Andrew adjust and give me a little time to slowly take over for him at the bar. Since I made the bar my first stop, thinking it would take less time, I quickly made my way to the hospital.As I promised Lyrek, I didn’t travel by myself, as I used the driver Lyrek hired for when it was convenient. I had sent Lyrek a text when I left the bar, to let him know I was on my way to the hospital. When I arrived, I found him waiting for me at the entrance.“Are you sure you are feeling better?” He asked when I stopped in front of him.“This is the tenth time you have asked me that in the past twenty-four hours.
