All Chapters of The Love That Passed: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Colleen's POV "You're going to be OK; we will do everything to make you better," he told me, and I smiled. He was holding my hand and looking at me, and I could see that he was worried. It was when I was sent to the hospital and woke up. Everyone has left, and that leaves us two alone in my hospital bed. I told him that he could go home and rest because I knew that he still had work the next morning. When I opened my eyes, I admitted that I was expecting to see him, if not the first face I would be able to look at. But Mommy Claire told me that he left, and then Ingrid called him. I was a bit sad, but when he came with my things, I felt relieved. He went to me, and he does look guilty. What Dr. Gerard told us about not being able to have the surgery troubled him, and he was somehow anxious; that's why he was telling me that. "I know," I replied, smiling. I didn't want him to worry too much. Although I know my body very well, I can feel that I am not OK. We had a talk about how sorr

Jared's POV Colleen and I had talked about us on her first night at the hospital. I had a feeling that she was not telling me everything, and I would surely find out about it. I was hopeful that she'd come out OK after her surgery, even though Dr. Gerard told us that it wasn't possible at the moment. I got to know Colleen and what she had been through, only to feel like an idiot for thinking the worst of her. She was so kind and understanding. She had positive views on life, even though I myself thought that it was unfair to her. I told her how jealous I was when I saw her with Dr. Gerard and that she never smiled at me the way she smiled at him. I confessed to her that I loved her already. That's why I asked her to start over again. She was happy, and I could see that in her eyes. She looks lively, and I was glad that somehow I made her feel that way. The following morning, I was ready to call my secretary to look for a doctor who could help Dr. Gerard when mom and Ingrid came.

Third Person's POV Jared gets back to work and Lucy, along with Betty, looks after Colleen during the time that he's busy. Coleen understands that Rick, Lucy's husband, needed her as well because he was sick too. But she was happy that he was getting better as Jared was helping them with all their medical expenses. "I don't know how I will be able to thank you," Lucy told Jared. They were on the poolside just outside their bedroom. "You don't need to, I offered it to you freely. Maybe I was still feeling guilty towards my wife and doing this made me feel a little better." Jared said, sighing. "What are you two talking about?" Coleen asked as she approached them. Jared and Lucy looked at her and they were pleased to see her looking good. Jared stood up and pulled out a chair for her. "Thank you hubby," Colleen said, and then looked at Lucy waiting for their reply. "I was just thanking him for taking care of you and us." She replied as Jared sat beside his wife. He took her hand

Third Person's POV "This can't be!" Derrick told Stacey. They were in their apartment and were having breakfast when they were bombarded with different chats and messages, trying to know the truth about them. "Did you tell anyone about us?" He asked her angrily. "Of course not!" Stacey exclaimed. "We already talked about this, and we have been like this for a very long time now. Why would I tell you about our relationship to the world?" she added. "Then how did they ever find out about us?" He asked with wide eyes when it almost came out. "I don't know either. I swear I never told anyone about anything related to us." She replied with confusion. In their long relationship, Stacey never flaunts it or tells a single soul about them. She was very cautious, especially when they went out. She didn't even tell her family. What they knew was that Jared was her boyfriend, and they were planning on getting married. "Then who the hell exposed us?" Derrick asked angrily. Derrick is the young

Jared's POV I watched as the news spread throughout the country. Did they actually think that they could get away with what they did to my wife? I am not going to stop until they are totally ruined. I knew Stacey's father, and he was very strict when it came to relationships. Her mother left with another man, which made her dad curse homewreckers. I was sure that she wouldn't be able to go back home now. If she decides to go to her mom's, I don't think that she will be able to stay there for long with the way she has been living for the past few years. Her mother and stepfather were poor, as her dad filed a case against them and had to pay a huge amount of money. As for Derrick, I know who his wife was. I became acquainted with Senator Dean and met his daughter, Mia. She was kind and gullible, but no one wanted to befriend her because she didn't like to dress up well or didn't know how to take care of her physical appearance. Maybe she likes Derrick. That's why Senator Dean agreed to
