Chapter 161

The paramedic and the ambulance tried their best to stabilise Elena as they drove to the hospital. Wave was also thoroughly checked, and they made sure that he was okay, but he wouldn't stop crying for his mother and aunty Zoey.After a while, Zoey coughed, and her eyes were slightly opened. “Elena?” she called. She looked around, calling for Elena. She felt relieved when she saw Elena lying beside her. With time, she was stabilised, and her pulse and heartbeat were back to normal. She looked over to see Wave tearing up, and she looked down at Elena lying on the stretcher as the rest of the paramedics tried to revive her.Her eyes became watery, and she stood up and wrapped her arms around him tightly. She gave him a gentle kiss on his hair. “Mummy is going to be alright; let's have faith,” she said, gently squeezing his hands. They both held Elena’s hands, and after a short while, they arrived at the hospital. They got down, and the paramedics rushed Elena into the hospital in a ha

Mr. Williams sat in the study after dinner as he tried to do some research and the live news channel was on.He felt lonely and alone. He sighed when he remembered how Elena used to run his company back in the day, and he took it for granted. He regrets his actions and he misses Elena dearly. He wished he stood by her five years ago. Maybe things wouldn't have been like this. Sarah had no idea about the company. The news showed a live house had been burnt down in Oregon just a few minutes ago. He watched it for a while, and he shook his head. “That is not good. It was clearly a planned work,” he decided to turn off the TV and focus on the world to avoid getting distracted.He looked at his desk to see that he had brought out the wrong document from the library. “Oh no, my bad, the wrong document. No, I have to find the right document in the library,” he signed.“I wish Sarah was hard-working and competent; she would have taken over me. Now I am too old and weak. Who would help run t

Chapter 163

Sarah’s POV:After my mother hung up on me, I decided to call her back, but nobody was picking up. I called the house, and one of the maids answered the phone.“Where is my mother? What could have happened?” I wondered as my eyes darted around the room. I hope she wasn't caught. I thought to myself as I called my father’s mansion. “I want to speak to my mother right now,” I ordered. “Mr. Coleman, Mr. Williams just had a heart attack. He had been taken to the hospital,” the maid responded urgently. My eyes widened, and the phone dropped from my hands to the bed.My jaw dropped, and I didn't know what to say. I hurriedly grabbed my keys and stormed out of the house. I knew exactly the hospital that they would be, so I zoomed off.While on the way, I could not help but ask myself multiple questions. Why would my father have a heart attack? I had dinner with him, and he was doing just fine. What could be going on?My hands were trembling, and I was already feeling cold. I just hoped th

Chapter 164

Elena’s POV:Beep beep beepI heard the sound of a beeping monitor while I lay on the bed. I slowly blinked my eyes and opened my eyes to the sound of the beep when I saw myself in the hospital bed. I narrowed my eyes and looked down to see Wave seated beside me. His hands were gently on mine, and he looked at me intently. A little smile appeared on his face. “Mummy! Mummy! You're awake!” he shouted as his eyes lit up. “Aunty Zoey. Mummy is awake.” He shouted, and immediately, the door opened, and Zoey stepped inside the room. The room was decorated with flowers and balloons. I was in awe. “Hello Elena,” Zoey said as she walked in with a smile on her face. “You gave us a scare,” she said. “How do you feel?” “I was also scared. How are you doing?” I asked; my voice was a little hoarse from dehydration. My smile was weak. “I'm fine; we are doing fine,” she replied.I adjusted myself and sat upright. “My baby boy, are you doing fine? Hope you we rent hurt?” I asked, my eyes scanning

Nicklaus’s POV:I wrapped my arms around Wave, and I felt something move inside of me. This is my first time being in close contact with him, and it felt like I had known him forever. I couldn't explain why I felt so attached to him already.I pulled away, and I noticed Elena’s facial expression. She acted nervous and quickly removed her eyes away from me. I was keen on staying away from her, but not after this. She looked like she was hiding something from me, and aside from that, she needed me. I need to stay by her side and protect her in every way that I can. I am ready to make up for lost time. I have not been able to protect her in the past, and now I am ready to do that. This made me rethink: could it be that Sarah had a hand in what happened? I asked myself, but I tried to brush it off again and focus on Elena.I don't mind if her child’s father, Alex, is here staring at me. His eyes bored into mine. If he loved her enough and claimed to protect her, he would have married her

Elena’s POV:“If Alex isn't the one, then who is?” Nicklaus asked, his voice was deep and barely above a whisper. My heart skipped a bit, and I blinked repeatedly, feeling nervous, “Nicklaus, this is not what I need right now, and I don't think I should be having this conversation with you. It's my private life,” I spoke up, my voice rising, which caught everybody’s attention.His facial expression softened, “I’m sorry, Elena.” he apologised.“I need to get out of here,” I said and tried to place my feet on the floor. Alex and Zoey walked up to me. “I have made arrangement for us to return to LA. You all need to rest,” Alex said and Zoey nodded her head.“But…” I tried to ask questions but Zoey spoke up, “its fine Elena. We will stay at Alex’s house. With what had happened, you need some time to yourself and besides the doctor advised that we get enough rest,” she said.I smiled at them, “thank you so much,” I said and hugged them. Zoey and Alex hugged each other warmly and they bo

I couldn't help but panic while on my way there. It's a good thing she is safe and sound.What was I thinking by asking her to return to my house when I was fully aware that she would decline?

It is a huge relief that they are not together, but I couldn't help but wonder what Elema must be hiding. Why isn't she still in touch with her baby daddy? Did he also dump her for someone else? He wouldn't do that to two friends. This is not good. What could Elena not be telling me? She is defin

The hospital door was swung open, while Mr. Williams lay in his bed looking pale and weak with his wife and Sarah by his side. Nurse Grey entered the room with a clipboard in her hands; her eyes scanned the chart as she stepped in, standing beside me, Williams. She was about to speak when her eyes fell on Mr. Williams; her eyes widened.The clipboard she was holding slipped from her fingers and dropped on the floor, which caused all eyes to be on her because of the sudden noise. Sarah turned around and narrowed her eyes, looking at the nurse, “How clumsy. You look like you have just seen a ghost, hello? We are humans,” she said rudely. “I'm so sorry, my apologies. I guess I was too distracted,” she apologised and went ahead to check Mr. Williams's vitals.

I didn't have enough time on my side. I had to act according to what Mr. Williams told me, and I needed to make it smooth. After what felt like forever, I arrived at the mansion and brought the car to a stop.“Good day, Mr. Nicklaus,” the butler, Mr. James, greeted as he approached me. I nodded my head in acknowledgement as I got out of the car and walked inside the house. The butler followed me from behind, and I noticed his presence with my side-eye.I stopped on my track and turned to him, waiting for him to speak. “Mr. Williams is in the hospital. None of his family members are at home,” he spoke.“I am aware of that. I was sent here by Mr. Williams. Now you will excuse me,” I said and walked into the hallway.I

Sam had decided to stay in Los Angeles and spend some time with us. Alex had been so kind.The whole environment brought back old memories. “Attention everyone,” I spoke, and they all turned their eyes on me. “I don't want to say much, but I want to thank each and every one of you for everything that you have done for me and my son. You all are my real family, and I would never trade that for everything,”Zoey walked to me and wrapped around me.
