Se connecterLauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)My ears started ringing and I heard screaming all around me.This wasn’t the first time that I heard it, but this time, they sounded closer to me than they were in the past.“Bro….. please shut these voices up.” I cried in despair when the voice increased the severity of my headache.“Take this med, Lauren. Everything will be okay, love. Take this med.” I heard Caellum yelling in panic, and something solid pressed on my lips.I took the pill but couldn’t gulp it down.Water slipped inside my mouth. I felt it, but those noises couldn’t stop.The chaos in my mind was so intense that I couldn’t register what Caellum was doing with me.I felt a tight embrace holding me.I shrank in his embrace, suddenly feeling safe and protected.“It’s okay, kiddo. It’s okay. I got you. You are safe. You are safe.” I heard him comforting me, and soon his voice became louder than those noises.I felt my mind slipping into the darkness, and I let it be.Caellum’s P.O.V.“It has
Lauren’s P.O.V.“During the first phase of the treatment plan, the crucial problem was to prepare the patient psychologically for the treatment. They suddenly lose their mobility, and this sudden change in their lives, the depression engulfed every positive thought present in their mind and hope in their mind. Any kind of hope can be fatal to them. So, the first phase only involved encouraging them morally to accept the reality, and also that the treatment plan is only to prevent their condition from deteriorating further.” I paused and took a deep breath.It was a video conference with my research team. I had already sent them the final data that I had on Gabriel’s treatment’s last phase.I was excited to start using the same treatment plan for the other patients who voluntarily signed up for the test subject project.Caellum had assigned a team that went to meet those patients and convinced them that even if there was no hope of their recovery, they should take a chance.As I stated
Gabriel’s P.O.V.“So, you mean to say that Lauren had been taking care of the work of all these departments all this time, and now you can’t find a suitable replacement of her?” I asked Victor angrily while throwing the file that I had just finished reviewing a few seconds ago.Victor flinched harder when the file hit his hand and fell to the ground but didn’t look up.“For God’s sake, Victor, she is also a human, not a superhuman or something like that. She had a lot of tasks to finish related to my recovery, and yet she supervised five departments’ work, managed things for the company and me with you, and also held several meetings with various people to get more business for the company. You want me to believe that?” I didn’t know why I was so angry, but I was now fuming in anger.Victor still didn’t speak, but his silence was like a sharp knife slashing my heart.Because everything that I was refusing to believe was true. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling overwhelmed, help
Lauren’s P.O.V.“Look at yourself, Lauren. Was this your state when you went there, huh? After three years of free labour, what did you get? These injuries, and a sorry?” Caellum continued yelling at me, and I just listened to his scolding with a lowered head.I was at the wrong place first. So, I had no retort for what he was saying.“That ungrateful brat. Does he really think that he is some kind of business prodigy? If it weren’t for your support and resources that you used to rejuvenate his business, would he have a roof on his head?”Vincent took Joyce and me to the airport, and we boarded his private plane. I slept throughout the journey. Joyce and Vincent brought me to my brother’s villa, where Caellum had arranged everything according to my needs.The good thing was that it was only Caellum and me. Joyce also had to return to her family, and Vincent had business to take care of.So, both went back before Caellum started firing bullets at me.“I am sorry, bro.” I mumbled, still
Lauren’s P.O.V.Thanks to my brother, the whole procedure finished in just half an hour. To my relief, it was only me and Gabriel.Joyce and Celia were stopped outside the VIP room, where an officer was especially assigned to us.“You guys will get your final divorce certificate if you still want the divorce.” The officer told us politely while giving us the receipt.“Thanks.” I thanked him politely and put the receipt in my pouch.“Let me take you out.” Gabriel proposed while standing up.“No need. I know how to drive a wheelchair.” I refused coldly and drove myself out of the room.“We can still be friends, Lauren. Even if you don’t need money or status, having friends is not bad.” Gabriel spoke to me, desperation evident in his voice, but I was now numb to him.For me, he was nothing but a stranger.“An Ex is as good as dead meat. Furthermore, I am not someone who keeps clinging to the past. Let’s part ways on a good note. I will send someone to collect the divorce certificate. So,
Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)“That’s not true, or you don’t want to admit that you are nothing but selfish trash.” Joyce screamed at her in the same way.“Do you really think that everyone is a fool like Mr. Westfield? You think that you hid very well what you did aboard in the past three years, but for your information, Ms. Ashford, you are butt naked in front of me and Lauren.”The sheer horror on Celia’s face was so satisfying that I wanted to stand up and jump while clapping in excitement.Too bad that I was also confined to a wheelchair now.“What are you talking about?” Gabriel asked Joyce angrily.“Ask your beloved pure moonlight or investigate by yourself, Mr. Westfield. Why do I waste my breath on telling you anything about her?” Joyce replied sarcastically, taunt, anger, and hatred dripping from her voice.“Let’s just finish this, Gabriel. I need to go back to the hospital as soon as possible.” I urged him tiredly.He let Celia enter our lives and destroyed our marriage witho
Gabriel’s P.O.V. (Continued)“In the past, it was Ms. Shaw who always reviewed the projects before submitting them for bid. He spoke again, but it was as if he had poured a whole bucket of cold water on me. She…… she was supposed to give us the reviewed project two days ago, b…. but she got in tha
Lauren’s P.O.V. (continued)My whole demeanor went cold when I saw them standing together in the waiting area.“I was stupid to feel bad for him that day, Lauren. He is nothing but an a**hole…. A jerk, a sc*mbag.”“Joyce.” I stopped her abruptly; the voice came out of my mouth harsher than I had an
