All Chapters of His Regret, My Escape: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Olympia's POV The following morning, I woke up very early, feeling both nervous and excited at the same time. I was eager to begin my first official day as a healer in the hospital. I had just finished dressing up in the blue uniform that was delivered to the house the previous night when Zayn ran into the room. “Wow Mommy, you look so beautiful,” he exclaimed. “Aww thank you baby,” I replied. “I'm so excited,” he said. “And why’s that, baby?” I asked him. “Aunty Lola said you will be saving lives. I can't wait to tell everyone that my Mommy is a lifesaver,” he said. I felt my heart warm up when he said this. This meant he was proud of me as his mother. I pulled him in for a hug. “Aww baby, mummy is so happy to hear that. Don't worry, I'll do my best to save as many lives as possible, okay?” I said to him and he nodded in excitement. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time to ensure that I wasn't missing anything before grabbing my back and leaving the room. W

Olympia’s POV I turned in the direction of the sound to see Head Healer Ryder standing behind me. I could feel my heart racing. His presence silenced the tense atmosphere. He scanned the room with his piercing blue eyes. “I ask again, what’s going on here?” he asked again, his voice sterner than before. “Sorry, Head Healer Ryder. We were just talking to Olympia about her tardiness. We were trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Rose said. I opened my mouth to defend myself but Head Healer Ryder raised his hand to stop me. “I’m going to handle this. Olympia, could you come with me to my office?” he said to me and turned to walk away. As I followed him, Veronica, Rose and Nivea had smirks on their faces. When we arrived at his office, a beautiful spacious area, Head Healer Ryder motioned for me to sit down. I thanked him before taking my seat. “Olympia, before I say what I have in mind, I’d first like to know the cause of your tardiness today. Can you explain?” he sa

Olympia's POV Is that it? I asked myself. “I…I'm a bit sick,” I lied. “Oh sorry about that. You should take care of your health. You attend to sick people everyday. You don't want to pass it on to them,” he said calmly and I nodded. Maybe he does recognise me, I thought, feeling a bit relieved. “So what's your name?” He asked. I froze once again. If he doesn't recognise me by face, he might recognise me by name. Xavier must have mentioned my name to him. “Young lady, did you hear me?” He asked. “S…sorry sir,” I stammered. I heard snickering behind me and when I looked back, I saw Nivea and her friends laughing at me silently. My fear heightened. But just then, my eyes caught Miranda's and she held a comforting look in her face. I felt a bit relieved before turning back to face Prince Troy. “My…my name's O…Olympia,” I said. “Olympia, that's a good name,” he said. “Thank you, your Highness,” I said. He was quiet for a while as if thinking of something. “Y

Olympia’s POVSitting in Nivea’s living room, my eyes widened in admiration. The interior of her living room looked fantastic and beautiful, nothing like I’ve ever seen. As I looked around the house mindlessly, my eyes caught Nivea’s staring at me. I completely forgot why I was here. There was a brief moment of unspoken words between Nivea and I and it was beginning to get awkward.“Nivea, your home is beautiful,” I said, trying to break the silence.Ignoring me, she said,“Olympia, what brings you here?”I took a deep breath, trying to make sure I choose my words carefully.“I wanted to see how you were doing,” I said.But Nivea scoffed in response.I wasn’t surprised. It was normal expression I had expected from her.“Did you really come to see how I was doing? Or did you come to rub it in my face that you won?” she asked spitefully.“No Nivea, I would never do that. I really came here to see how you were doing. I would have come earlier but I didn’t know how you’d react so I chick

Olympia's POV I slowly opened my eyes to find myself on a hospital bed.“She’s waking up,” the familiar voice of Lola said.Lola?What is she doing here? I wondered.“Lola, why are you here?” I asked weakly.“I got a call that something happened to you. I had to rush down here,” Lola replied, with a worrisome look on her face.“What are you talking about?” I asked, confused.“We were discussing in my office and you suddenly collapsed. Are you okay?” Head Healer Ryder said.“I guess I'm just a bit tired. Wasn't able to get enough sleep last night?” I answered.“Well, you have to take the day off. Go home, get enough rest and you can resume tomorrow if you feel better,” Head Healer Ryder said.I sat up saying,“I feel better right now. I don't have to go home.”“No, I insist you go home. And that's final,” he said with a firm voice.At this point, I knew there was no refusing. Lola took me home and looked after me till I fell asleep.I was woken up by Zayn tapping me on the shoulder.“
