Reborn Rich: My Fiancé and Step-Sister Killed Me Once. 52. The Boyfriend II
LUCASDr. Mercer's eyebrow raised slightly. "A right?""Yeah. A right." Lucas crossed his arms. "We've been together for a very long time. I should be able to check on my girlfriend.""Your girlfriend," Dr. Mercer repeated slowly. Something flickered in his expression. "The girlfriend you didn't see immediately called?”Heat rose to Lucas's face. "I just found out today.""The hospital called her emergency contacts immediately when she was brought in." Dr. Mercer's tone was calm but there was steel underneath it. “And even if you missed it, shouldn't you check on said GIRLFRIEND daily?”Lucas' throat went dry as he had no reasonable answer to that which wouldn't make him seem neglectful.Rita stepped forward quickly. "There must have been some confusion with the messages. We came as soon as we heard. We're just worried about her."Dr. Mercer's eyes shifted to Rita. He studied her for a moment. His expression didn't warm at all.Rita tried her smile again but something in his look made

LUCASLucas was sitting at his desk pretending to look busy when his phone rang.Rita's name flashed on the screen.He glanced around to make sure his supervisor wasn't nearby and answered. "Hey.""Oh my God Lucas have you heard?" Rita's voice came through immediately. Panicked and dramatic. "Arden was rushed to the hospital yesterday morning. She collapsed."Lucas sat up straighter. "What? What happened?""Her neighbor found her unconscious in the hallway. They called an ambulance. She's at a Medical Center. They called me because I'm listed as one of her emergency contacts.""What's wrong with her?" Lucas asked. "Is it serious?""I don't know. The hospital wouldn't give me details over the phone. But Lucas we should go check on her. Make sure she's okay. We're her emergency contacts. We should be there."Lucas looked at the stack of files on his desk. "Yeah. Yeah okay. I'll pick you up in twenty minutes.""Thank you. I'm so worried about her."He hung up and stared at his phone for

ARDEN"I'm fine.""You need to find someone amd settle down before I die. Or is this your way of torturing me?”Jett's eyes found mine across the room. "I'm working on it. And you and I both know that you’re too stubborn to give up the ghost.”"Working on it?, the older voice scoffed and then continued. You've been saying that for three years! I'm going to set up more blind dates!" "Don't you dare! You've tortured me enough.”The older man chuckled. "Then you'll do something for me. Attend Mr Gordon’s daughter wedding next month. He’s one of our investors. You'll represent the family."Jett looked amused. "I'll take awkward wedding guest over awkward dinner any day.""Good. And while you're there look for a nice girl from a good family. There will be plenty of suitable—"Jett pulled the phone away from his ear. "Grandfather you're breaking up. I think the signal is bad.""Don't you dare fake bad reception with me!""Can't hear you. Love you. Bye." Jett hung up quickly.He turned to

ARDENI woke up to the smell of something really good.I opened my eyes slowly. The room was dimmer now. Evening light was coming through the window instead of the harsh afternoon sun.Jett was sitting on the couch with takeout containers spread across the small table. He looked up and noticed I was awake."Good. You're up," he said. "You need to eat."I sat up slowly. My body still felt weak but definitely better than before. The heaviness wasn't as bad."What time is it?" I asked."Almost seven. You slept for about five hours."Five hours. When was the last time I slept that long during the day?Jett stood up and brought over one of the containers. "I got you soup and rice. Nothing heavy. Your stomach needs to ease back into proper food."The soup smelled amazing. Some kind of chicken and vegetable. Steam was still rising from it."Have you been here the whole time?" I asked."I had rounds but I came back." He sat down in the chair near my bed. "Someone needs to make sure you actual

ARDENI looked at him. "What? No. You can't do that.""You need proper rest. Not a loud shared room with a TV blasting game shows all day.""Jett I can't let you pay for—"He looked at me directly. "Arden. You collapsed from exhaustion. Your body is literally shutting down. You don't get to argue about this."Dr. Morrison nodded in agreement. "The recovery suite will be much better for your condition. I'll make the arrangements now."They both left before I could protest anymore.An hour later nurses came to move me to a different floor.The recovery suite was on the top floor of the hospital. The moment they wheeled me in I could see it was completely different from the regular room.It looked more like a hotel than a hospital.There was a real bed. Not a hospital bed. An actual comfortable looking bed with nice sheets. A couch by the window. A small kitchenette with a mini fridge. A big window that let in natural light, and a bathroom."Wow," I said.The nurse helping me settle in s

ARDENSomething was wrong.The moment my eyes opened, the whole room felt like it was spinning. My head was pounding and my body was so heavy I could barely push myself upright without the nightstand tipping toward me.My phone screen was full of missed calls and texts from Richard."Where are you?""This is completely unacceptable.""Call me immediately."I dragged myself to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, then made the mistake of looking in the mirror. The person staring back at me looked exhausted. Fucking hell…The past few weeks had piled up without me noticing. Going from one thing to another. When had I last truly rested? Not just closed my eyes but actually rested?After this whole Epic game saga, I’m calling in for a proper leave. I was given a second chance to live, not to dig my own grave.I got dressed with shaking hands, buttoned my shirt wrong and had to start over, then grabbed my bag and headed for the door.Three steps into the hallway, my vision s

ARDENI had dreamt about my death again yet again but this time I was in the hospital dying of cancer while Lucas and Rita were celebrating over it.I got to the office early, after rushing to my favourite spot to get my coffee. I didn't notice the letter on my desk till I was looking for a file I

ARDENDanny almost fell out of his chair when he saw us walk into the pediatric ward."Arden?" He stood up so fast he knocked his plastic cup off the armrest. "What are you doing here?""Something brought me around so I decided to stop by," I said, which was a complete lie and we both knew it.A wo
