Elevator. 102
CH 102.Andrianne slowly opened her eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun shining through her window. She stretched her arms and legs and sat up in bed. She rubbed her eyes and let out a deep sigh, her mind still foggy from sleep. Then she remembered her father's call and quickly reached for her phone to check the time. It was already past 9 am.She got out of bed and walked to the window, staring at the clear blue sky outside. A few moments later, Jackie came into the room, carrying a tray of breakfast."Good morning, sleepyhead," Jackie said with a smile.Andrianne turned around and returned the smile. "Morning, Jackie. What do we have here?""Your favorite," Jackie replied, setting down the tray. "Pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs."Andrianne's stomach grumbled in response to the delicious aroma. She sat down at the table and dug in, but her thoughts were still on her father."Jackie, I need to talk to you about something," Andrianne said, putting down her fork."Sure, what is it?"

CH 103.Emily walked into the hospital room, her eyes scanning the area until they landed on Lucas. He was sitting up in bed, staring into space, his expression blank. Emily felt a twinge of pity for him. He looked so lost, so vulnerable. But she quickly pushed those feelings aside. This was her chance to hatch her plan."Lucas," she said softly, approaching his bed.Lucas looked up at her, his eyes dull and lifeless. "Emily," he said, his voice barely above a whisper."How are you feeling?" she asked, pulling up a chair and sitting down beside him.Lucas shrugged. "I don't really know," he said, his eyes still fixed on some invisible point in the distance.Emily leaned in closer. "Do you remember what happened?" she asked, trying to sound concerned.Lucas shook his head slowly. "No," he said, his voice barely audible. "I don't remember anything."Emily's heart raced with excitement. This was it. This was her chance to start fresh with Lucas, without Andrianne in the picture. "That's

CH 104Andrianne's heart was pounding as she walked towards the entrance of the hospital. She couldn't believe that she was about to see Lucas after so long, but the thought of him not recognizing her was also terrifying. She had been on bed rest for two weeks, and her pregnancy had been giving her a hard time, but she couldn't wait any longer to see Lucas.As she approached the reception, she asked the nurse for Lucas' room number, and she was directed towards the elevator. Her legs felt weak as she stepped inside, and she kept praying that everything would be okay. The elevator ride felt like eternity, but finally, she arrived at Lucas' room.Andrianne gently opened the door and saw Lucas lying on the bed with his eyes closed. She walked closer and noticed how pale he looked, and her heart broke for him. She reached out and gently touched his hand, and his eyes fluttered open."Lucas?" Andrianne said, holding her breath.Lucas looked at her blankly and then turned his head away. And

CH 105Andrianne was waiting at the hospital entrance for Lucas to be discharged. She was dressed in a simple white dress that hugged her pregnancy curves, with her hair tied in a neat bun. She couldn't help but feel nervous and excited at the same time. It had been a long two weeks since she had last seen Lucas, and she missed him dearly.Finally, she saw a nurse wheeling Lucas out in a wheelchair. He looked fragile and weak, but Andrianne's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. She rushed over to him and gave him a gentle hug."Lucas, are you feeling better?" she asked him.Lucas looked up at her with a blank expression. He didn't seem to recognize her at all. Andrianne felt her heart sink, but she tried not to show it."Yes, I'm feeling better," he replied in a monotone voice.Andrianne felt a lump form in her throat. She knew that Lucas had lost his memory, but she didn't expect him to forget her completely."Come on, let's get you home," she said, trying to hide her disappoin

CH 106Andrianne was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room of the mansion. The silence was deafening, and the loneliness was suffocating. She had been staying in the mansion for a week now, taking care of Lucas, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that Emily gave her.She missed her own home and the comfort of her own bed. She missed the routine she had built with Jackie over the past few weeks. Andrianne sighed, she knew she couldn't continue like this. She needed to leave the mansion.As she was packing her bags, Lucas walked in, but he still couldn't recognize her. Andrianne tried her best to hide her disappointment, but it was hard. "Where are you going?" Lucas asked, looking confused."I'm going back to Jackie's house for a while," Andrianne replied, trying to sound upbeat. "I just need some time for myself."Lucas looked at her, his eyes searching for something, but he couldn't find it. "Okay, I understand. Take care of yourself," he said with a smile.A

CH 107Andrianne sat next to her father's hospital bed, holding his hand tightly as she watched the machines beep rhythmically. Her heart was heavy as she knew that her father's time was running out. She had spent the past few days praying for a miracle, but it seemed that fate had other plans.Suddenly, the machines beeped faster, and Andrianne's father let out a gasp. Andrianne's heart raced as she saw the doctor and nurses rushing into the room. They tried everything they could to save him, but it was too late. Andrianne's father had passed away.Andrianne felt like her world had come crashing down. She had lost her mother to cancer, and now her father was gone too. Tears streamed down her face as she clung onto her father's hand, unwilling to let go. She felt like a part of her had died with him.The doctor came over and placed a comforting hand on Andrianne's shoulder. "I'm so sorry for your loss," he said softly. "We did everything we could, but his heart just gave out."Andrian

CH 108Andrianne was about to leave her father's study, feeling overwhelmed by emotions when something caught her attention. At the far end of the room, on top of a pile of books, was a piece of paper that seemed to have fallen off a desk. She walked towards it, her eyes fixated on the paper. As she got closer, she realized it was a note. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering what it could be. She picked up the note and looked at it closely, her hands trembling slightly. It was a handwritten note from her father.The note was written on a piece of plain white paper, in her father's elegant cursive handwriting. It was dated about two months ago, and it started with "My dear Andrianne". As she read on, Andrianne's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. Her father had written about how he regretted all the pain he had caused her over the years, and how he was sorry for forcing her into a marriage she didn't want. He wrote about how he was happy to see that Lucas had been able to make her hap

CH 109Andrianne felt a pang of anxiety in her chest as she drove up the long, winding driveway to Lucas's mansion. It had been several days since she had left, and the fear of the unknown had been gnawing at her ever since. She needed to see Lucas, to know that he was okay, and to check on Emily as well. However, as she pulled up to the house, she noticed that Emily's car was nowhere to be found.Her heart began to race as she parked her car and made her way up to the front door. She hesitated for a moment before finally knocking. She waited anxiously, but no one answered. She tried the doorknob, and to her surprise, the door was unlocked. She pushed it open slowly, calling out Lucas's name as she stepped inside.The house was quiet, and Andrianne felt a chill run down her spine. She made her way through the foyer and into the living room, but there was no one there. She searched the rest of the first floor, but it was empty. She then climbed the stairs, calling out Lucas's name once
