Divorced To Steal His Heart 58. The Suspect
Carbon dioxide?How? That's very dangerous! Grandpa could die!“Let me have a look.” Without wasting a second, I shoved through the crowd of nurses and checked the heart monitor machine. As expected, the old man’s heartbeat was irregular but not so weird as to cause a panic.In fact, his slowed heartbeat was restoring to normal gradually. Still, the need to admit quick medication to dispel the strange gas from his system is vital. He must have inhaled the gas for two or three seconds, otherwise, he wouldn't have survived if the oxygen mask had been on for long.“This is strange. Who could have replaced the actual oxygen with smoke?” Dr. Natasha expressed the same thoughts bothering me. Even the nurses were confused as they all stared at each other with furrowed brows.“Such a thing has never happened before!” “The workers never made such a huge mistake.”“What's happening then?”“Who could have tampered with the oxygen bank?”“Do you think the old man's life is in danger?”“Is s

…Theo's POV I shouldn't have placed my phone on silent last night if I knew I would wake up to so many missed calls from the hospital director. Staring at the thirty missed call notifications, my apprehension knew no bounds.Grandpa…What if? I had no time to make any assumptions. As I got out of the bed, I rushed straight into the bathroom.I washed up immediately, dressed up and hurried out. “Going to work so early? Are you trying to ditch me, Theo?” I came to a halt, almost crashing into the boy on my way downstairs. He was still in his pajamas, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Damn. Why is he out of bed early?I could tell him yes, and he would insist on following me to work.If I told him no, he could bombard me with questions about where I'm going and insist in the end to follow me. “Be good. I'll come back soon.” I reached out and ruffled his hair, but the boy didn't seem to like it as he shoved my hand off. “From the looks of it, you're trying to ditch me. When are you gonna

…Jessica's POV ‘Theo must be on his way to the hospital.’That was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw his car racing out of the Villa. I was on my way there to complete his mother's mission since the woman was so dumb that she couldn't get a single strand of hair from a little boy. She had managed to lure Theo to the mansion and he even went there with that boy,But she subsequently failed in her mission of taking a sample for the DNA test.Theo seems to have left the Villa without the boy which means I would get the chance to be with him alone. But I contemplated whether to enter the Villa or not. In the end, my curiosity got the best of me.The boy could wait, and I had to find out why Theo was in such a hurry.I trailed after him with my car, unable to catch up despite racing, until we got stuck in traffic.Still, Theo arrived at the hospital before me. From the way he was speeding the car, it could only mean one thing. The old man must have died already. Well,

…Theo's POV And here I am racing down the city again like a madman.Could this morning get any worse?How did he fall off the stairs?What was the housekeeper doing?I'm sure the boy wouldn't jump on the stairs railings to play. The stairs were pretty sturdy and large… There was no way he could fall by accident.But I told him to behave. Sigh! With the way my heart keeps racing, maybe I'll end up in the hospital next. My phone beeped constantly with the hospital director's name flashing on the screen.He was calling again. Well, after realizing that my grandfather is fine, I have no interest in answering his calls-Not when the little boy's life might be in danger.Why am I so worried, though?What's this feeling of dread building up in my heart?I'm rarely fazed by disasters. I never panicked easily. My grandfather is the only person who's capable of waking my emotions. Why does the boy get involved? Am I becoming soft? In ten minutes, I was back in the Villa. Now it wasn't o

Right!It doesn't add up. How did Jessica know that he fell off the stairs when she wasn't even here?At first, I thought Jessica followed me to the hospital after coming to the Villa and witnessing the boy fall.She wouldn't have mistaken the housekeeper for a little boy like Dave. By the way, the housekeeper happened to fall off the stairs just as I entered the house. Which meant that before I left the hospital, no accident had happened yet. Indeed, nothing adds up.Sitting up straight, my brows furrowed as I wondered if I was the one thinking in the wrong direction. Could it be…“The one who told you that I fell off the stairs must have planned it. Was that spilled soap meant for me?” Dave pondered. That was a dangerous assumption even for a little boy. But he wasn't completely wrong. Even my mind was telling me the same thing. Jessica wouldn't lie to me, would she?Back then, she came in hastily and dragged me out- Damn, I don't want to recall that kiss… It felt as if somet

…Olivia's POVPhew!That was a close call.A very close one. Removing my face mask, I slumped on the couch as my head spun with so many thoughts…What if?What if Theo had seen me?What if he'd realized I was the one?What if Jessica hadn't barged in and distracted him? What if I hadn't gone there in the first place?What if I'd followed Ethan's advice and just left Grandpa’s care in Dr. Natasha’s hands?But now that Grandpa Victor's condition was becoming complicated, I couldn't trust anyone with his well-being. I don't look down on Dr. Natasha’s skills, but my mind won't be at ease if I'm not nearby to make sure Grandpa Victor is alright.What happened yesterday scared everyone.Although I suspected Theo and expressed my thoughts, I didn't expect Dr. Davison to go ahead and still summon Theo. If I knew Theo was in that ward, I would have hidden somewhere and waited until he left.For the first time, I saw the man I'd wished never to see again. Although I could only look at his

…Theo's POV No time to focus or work.I wouldn't have come to the company if my attention wasn't urgently needed at the meeting between the managers today.Clearly, a conflict broke out between the manager of the finance department and the HR department. Not only that, the employees were in disagreement with each other. The higher-ups are restless for a new chairman to be chosen.The junior employees are contending with each other, and some of them even disappointed one of our major customers yesterday. The company is falling apart.Grandpa's health isn't getting any better. When I answered the hospital director’s call later on yesterday and he told me what was happening, imagine my disbelief.Someone is out there trying to get rid of Grandpa. That person could be anyone; One of the board of directors, our business rivals, or someone else who's powerful and gutsy enough to do such a thing. “Theo, thinking too much will kill your brain cells. Do you think that'll solve the compan

…Olivia's POV Yesterday was like a stormy day with dark clouds and lightning. I was terrified out of my skin.I was confused, hopeless, and devastated.But today seemed to be the opposite, I guess. Ever since I woke up this morning, my heart felt light, the heavy emotions were nowhere to be found.Am I supposed to feel this?Am I supposed to feel so empty all of a sudden?I'm supposed to be worried about Dave's situation. I should still be anxious that he hadn't been found yet.Why did I believe the Nanny's words?What if she was making that up only to calm me down? But the Nanny wouldn't do such a thing, would she?She could, but she couldn't fake Dave's voice.For the first time after so many days, I heard my son's voice again. Maybe that's the source of my relief.Or maybe the source of my relief is the words he told me.Who knew how Dave got those kidnappers’ phone again? The fact that he's alright is what matters the most. And the desire to listen to his voice again and agai

Divorced To Steal His Heart 124. A Surprise
The earlier I get Jessica treated, the better.I can't put up with this.I can't tolerate her drama.If I knew that I'd come back and meet her like this, I wouldn't have left Geneva. I'd very much prefer suffering in Olivia's hands than this!While I got ready, I could hear her breaking things in the bathroom.Knowing I wasn't following Dr. Raynold's orders, I felt a little guilty.Maybe I should be a bit lenient with her. But pretending to be her husband is something I cannot do. I was taking breakfast downstairs when she joined me, looking more haggard than I'd expected.She looked depressed as she silently ate her food.Even when her phone rang, she didn't answer it.Worried, I reached out and patted her hand gently. “Lighten up. I have a surprise for you later.”Jessica's expression became bright and she jumped to her feet.“Really? What's the surprise, Honey? When can I see it?”Actually, it's just a decision I made now. Not really that much of a surprise.“I have purchased a n

Smiling brightly, she lifted her head from my chest and sat up. “Sorry, I slept off in the living room. I couldn't join you last night.”She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and blushed. “The party took over me, I guess.”Not really.Doesn't she recall a thing?I sat up, frowning in confusion as her innocent eyes wandered across the room. They widened in shock, and she gasped, covering her mouth. “Who did this, Honey? Why's the room a mess? Did you get drunk last night?”I followed her gaze to the broken lamps and torn curtains.A conflicted feeling hit me instantly, leaving me in utter disbelief.I sighed, shoved away the bedsheet, and entered the bathroom.I took a long time under the shower, trying to collect my thoughts.My confusion is no more, and my mind is now troubled.How long will it take for her to recover?Is there really no other way as the Doctor had said?No!I can't just believe him.There are great neurologists out there that I can reach out to. They'll defini

Traumatized?How?That sounds ridiculous. And why wasn't I informed about it until now?Jessica sounded alright on the phone. In fact, she looked alright to me.“The rejection had a great impact on her mental health…” Dr. Raynold added. “That's why she's like this. Once in a similar situation, her trauma will be triggered. Did you perhaps do anything that made her feel unwanted, Mr. Wellington?”Does telling her to leave my bed count? I also told her that we're not married. I ordered her to come to her senses.What now?I thought she only fainted at the wedding venue due to the shock.So Jessica is crazy now.“Who else knows about this?” I asked. “And can she be cured?”Dr. Raynold looked around before answering my question as if he was being secretive.“You know Jessica has a sensitive identity; that's why I hid her situation from everyone, including your family…” The Doctor explained. “As a celebrity, words can leak out, and people will label her as a crazy person, which can affec

Opening my eyes, her deep fragrance alone was enough for me to know that it was her.“What are you doing here?” Frustrated, I tried to keep my voice low.What's she doing in my bed?Is she out of her mind?What's she doing in my house in the first place?“Honey, I don't understand…” Jessica sat up beside me, looking very confused.I wonder what I'd said wrong or which word I'd mispronounced.“Where else am I supposed to sleep if not here?” She continued. “Come on, stop scaring me, Honey. I thought-”“Stop calling me that.” I also sat up, annoyed by the fact that she was acting oblivious.Her puzzled look confused me. Does she think this is okay?“I- I should stop calling you that?” Jessica stammered, staring at me in disbelief. “Why? Aren't we married? Aren't we a couple?”Does she even listen to herself?I was right in thinking something was wrong with her by the way she acted carefreely.When did we get married?“Come on, stop scaring me.” Jessica clasped my arm, her eyes welling up

My mind traveled back to some weeks ago.As usual, Dave had followed me to the office. Although he was always blunt and cold towards me, he never disturbed me while I worked.While I was busy testing out the new camera the company was about to invest in, he was engrossed in staring outside the large floor-to-ceiling window as he sat beside it.That was when I took this photo.Seeing the deep frown on his face as he stared at that particular spot, I'd thought he was sad because he missed his mother,Yet, reading his expression clearly now, something tells me it was just a look of disappointment.He'd known all along that I was his father, yet he chose to stay with me.Dave was very smart and he could easily find Olivia, but he didn't.Maybe he'd genuinely wanted to spend some time with me, and…Where did I go wrong?Was it when I shouted at him because of Jessica?Was it because of the wedding?But I'd apologized and the wedding was also canceled. I stood and paced the space of my of

…Theo's POV What a wasted effort.Another failed mission.I slammed the steering wheel several times, the loud honking of my car echoing on the long highway.Stuck in a tight traffic, my frustration increased drastically.Why's she giving me a hard time?Why's everyone against me?I can't believe Dave would reject me too. He never really liked me, but I'd looked forward to a different reaction from him. I was so close.Very close. I could get a strand of his hair, carry out the DNA test, and get my own physical evidence-If only Dave hadn't raised an alarm.Of course, I didn't mean to take him away. I'd planned to return him once we were done shopping and I also got what I wanted. But my little trick didn't work. What now?Do I have to return to that place?What if I don't find her there, what if she runs to another place? My phone rang but I ignored it.Currently in a bad mood, I don't want to speak with anyone.However, the phone call persisted. Seeing Jessica's name on the

I turned around, nodding to his question.Reading the seriousness on his face, I could guess he wanted to discuss an important topic.“I'm all ears,” I said and sat on the bed. Ethan sat beside me. “Are you sure about this, Olivia? Me acting with you as a couple…”I looked down. Well, I hadn't thought much into it.That day, at the hospital, I jumped into the act when Dave addressed Ethan that way. I didn't think whether Ethan was comfortable with it or not, and I continued with the act whenever Theo was present at the scene. “Sorry for dragging you into this…” I looked up, reading his expression for any signs of discomfort.But Ethan smiled at me. “Why do you apologize? I'm not complaining. I just thought maybe that-”“Theo will see through our lies?” I completed his words, convinced that's what he wanted to say. Well, that's something else. I don't want Theo to know that I'm putting on this act all because of him. I have no problem with spiting him by acting like a couple wit

Was she cursed to spill every secret?I never knew the Nanny could be such a blabbermouth.I'd tried to hide this from Prof. Joanne as best as I could while upstairs in order not to increase her stress levels.The old woman had gone through enough shock for today, right?That's it.“You can leave now, Maya. Please don't find us until I call you.”“Ah, why not, Ms. Lawson?” Maya let go of the old woman and rushed to me. “I thought you had forgiven me already. Isn't that why you asked me to stay?”I only sent her inside, detecting that she could spill the truth in Theo’s presence after seeing her reaction when Dave called Ethan his Dad.Walking to the couch, I picked up my bag and brought out some cash. “Here's money for a taxi. And if Theo Wellington finds you and asks you anything, please don't spill a word.”Maya lowered her head, a look of realization flashing in her eyes.Nodding obediently, she apologized, “I'm sorry for every inconvenience I've caused you, Ms. Lawson- I truly am.

I cursed inside, tossed my phone aside, and rushed out.Damn! I shouldn't overlook this, knowing that Theo would try to take Dave away, I should have kept him beside me.On leaving the house, I found the man's car parked outside the small fenced gates and he's trying to make Dave sit in it.It wasn't only Theo convincing my son to get inside the car, but also the Nanny who I've just turned away.“Come on, Dave… Nanny will be you with, and Mr. Wellington is your Daddy. Don't be scared, Sweetie… we'll be back in a jiffy.”“Let go of me!” Dave shouted. “He's a bad guy.”“Hehe- I know it's sad that he accidentally made Grandma Joanne faint. Well, if he was a bad guy, you wouldn't have followed him to L.A., right? You knew all this time that he was your Daddy-”“You!” I stopped running, staring at the Nanny speechlessly. Seeing how hard she's trying to convince Dave to enter the car while Theo held the car's door open, the cunning man must have promised her something.“What do you think y
