It's not over

Even though I was really mad and disappointed in him, I couldn't bare to watch him pain. I was about to reach out for him when he suddenly collapsed. A loud and pained scream escaped my lips when my dad fell unconscious on the bare floor.

"Dad.." I called out to him as I crouched near his unconscious body. I tapped him and shook him violently as a way to wake him up but he didn't budge.

The situation was slowly starting to get serious when it seemed like he wouldn't wake up anytime soon. Beads of sweat slowly appeared on my forehead as I started to shake him really violently.

"Da..dad.. please don't do this to me. Don't play with me like this. Wake up." My voice shook as I spoke to him. I stopped trying to wake him up and placed my ear on his chest to see if I could get an heart beat.

"Help!! Somebody help me!!" I cried out frantically when I realised that his heart beat was growing fainter and fainter by each passing second.

Workers rushed onto the living room upon hearing my loud cries for help. They were shocked to find the scene in front of them but they didn't stop to ask any questions.

They quickly carried dad and rushed him into one of the cars. I got into the back seat with dad, while Fiona got into the driver's seat and zoomed off immediately. At the hospital, the nurses attended to us the moment they saw and recognized me.

They placed him on a stretcher and took him into the emergency room. I wanted to follow them in but they stopped me halfway and made me wait at the waiting room.

I walked to and fro as I was so restless. I had totally forgotten about what the doctor told me when I recieved his test result before. He advised me that dad couldn't be stressed at all so as not to hurt his heart.

I was so occupied with exposing Amara that I neglected the fact that he might have been stressed while he was at the hospital with her. Everything that's happening to dad now is my fault.

I saw how stressed out he looked when he came back but I didn't care. All that I cared about was exposing Amara and regaining back my spot in dad's heart and in the company.

I should have waited for sometime before breaking the news to him. I collapsed sadly on the chair and palmed my face as my mind drifted back to ny past life and that memory sent chills down my spine.

It was the same event all over again. Dad collapsing and me rushing him to the hospital. Except that this time, he's in there because of me. I bowed my head as I couldn't hold back my emotions anymore.

I let my tears flow freely down my face. If anything happens to dad, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

Fiona watched in pity as Catherine kept sobbing softly. Even though she hadn't served Catherine for long, she could tell that she had been through a lot.

From the first day that she entered the Dyson's mansion, she immediately understood what was happening without having someone to fill her in. That was the reason she stuck around Catherine at every moment that she could.

She finally understood how vicious Amara could be after she threw herself down the stairs just to frame Catherine. She felt sad that Catherine was blaming herself for her father's health not knowing that this was bound to occur sooner or later.

Liam had filled her in about Hector's health issues so she was able to know that his collapse today was because of the drugs Amara has been feeding him but Catherine doesn't know that because Nicholas chose to keep that information away from her.

Despite hiding such a thing from her, he had prepared before hand if something like this were to happen. Thankfully, the antidote to the drugs had already been made by a team of researchers.

Right now, the doctors in there were probably administering the drug to him so Hector would come out of this alive. Fiona stood at her spot, not knowing how to console the crying Catherine without telling her what was actually wrong with her father.

After waiting and crying for my father to come out alive, the doors to the emergency room were finally opened and the nurses pushed my father out on a stretcher. I drued my tears, stood up and walked up to them immediately.

"How's he now?" I asked in concern.

"The treatment was successful and your father is in good health now." The doctor announced.

I felt the weight in my heart disappear when I heard the good news. I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh of relief. Thank goodness. It seemed like the doctor had more to say.

"For now, he's in coma because of his weak heart but hopefully, he won't be there for long because the treatment was successful. We just have to wait for him to wake up." The doctor added, making me sad again.

I was hoping that he would be awake for us to have a talk. I didn't want him in this state for long. I just hope it would actually be different from my past life.

Since dad was in the hospital, I was temporarily handling the company's affairs until he wakes up. Despite my deep concern for dad, I knew that the company needed stability and leadership so I stepped in.

I didn't inform Nicholas about dad's condition because I didn't want to bother him. He has enough problems at hand as at the moment and I didn't want to add to it.

After the previous success of the medical project that I was in charge of, I was able to establish my prestige within the comoany so it wasn't hard to take dad's spot as the head.

My intelligence and decisiveness was enough to gain the trust and respect of the entire employees and the successful projects skyrocketed the company to the top, bringing in substantial growth and wealth to the company so when I temporarily took the role of the CEO, there was no opposition at all.

It was exactly like the events in my past life, except that my hardwork and glory wasn't in someone else's name. All I had ever wanted was finally happening.

I've divorced Andrew and I've exposed Amara but I still felt empty inside. I wasn't complate without dad here with me to cheer me on. I remembered those hurtful words I said to him before he collapsed and it made me feel worse.

Those words weren't true, dad had always loved and cared for me in every way he could but I belittled him. His only mistake was bringing Amara into our lives but how could he have known that she would turn out this way?

I made the same mistake with Andrew too so I had no right to judge him. I just hope that he wakes up soon so I could ask for his forgiveness.

I was currently in dad's ward at tbe hospital, it had turned into my second home. After I clock out of the company, I spend my night here. I was dealing with some of the company's file when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

I looked up, expecting to see a nurse or doctor but was surprised to find Amara. She was breathing heavily like she had been running. Her eyes landed on me and I saw an evil glint in it.

"What do you want?" I asked in the calmest way possible.

"You think you can just take over the company after all the hard work I did?" She asked at the top of her voice.

I knew this would happen sooner or later. I was expecting her to do something like this because the Amara I knew would never accept this reality. Nevertheless, I'll have to cut her off completely from the company. It's not over until it's over.
