"How is she?"Anton asked as soon as the doctor stormed out of his guest room."Her vitals are normal but she seemed to be suffering from emotional distress, Mr. Stanford." The doctor responded in a professional manner.Though he might've already known the reason as to why she fainted, he still asked."Emotional distress?"The doctor pushed his glasses higher on the bridge of his nose before he answered."I'm not sure, Mr. Stanford. I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact reason but I can refer someone if you like. That person might be the one to tell you the right answers you need to hear."Saying so, he took something from his bag and handed it over to him. "You can set an appointment with him."Anton stared at the calling card in his hand as soon as the doctor left.'Would you even tell me if I ask you about it? What made you like this?' He thought as he shoved the card into his pockets and stormed into the guest room.The mere sight of her lifeless brought a sense of regret inside h
'KATE ASHTON!'Ashley furiously repeated in her mind while maneuvering the steering wheel.The name always drives her mad let alone hearing it from him. She was too startled to even say a word thus she kept her mouth shut until their meal ended and he was definitely wondering why.She had seen it coming but still, she wasn't ready yet! Her darkest secret which she had tried to cover up for seven years was threatening to resurface which made her feel anxious.Thankfully, he wasn't able to ask her again as he received an urgent call from their private residence so he hurried to go home after dropping her off at her place but instead of going in, she drove towards her brother's place.As soon as she entered into his apartment, she roared like a mad tigress."Kyle Ashton!"A couple of minutes passed and the guy hurried out of his room and also shouted."Ashley Mills! What brings you here?!"She stared at him from head to toe, frowning hard."Why do you have to come out like that?" She ask
As soon as Anton arrived at the hospital, he directed himself to the emergency room."What happened to her?!" He questioned Leo as soon as he spotted him standing outside the door.Leo's eyes gleamed at the sight of him then he looked behind him. Seeing that he was alone, he frowned hard."Did you find at least one of her closest family?" Leo asked with a hint of urgency lacing in his voice. "Father, mother or it could have been much better if you found her sibling.""She has no one else aside from me." He replied and demanded. "Tell me what happened to her.""Apart from her injuries, she needs a blood transfusion! The one that matched her type!" Leo explained anxiously. "She seemed determined to leave everything behind according to my speculation..."Anton frowned as he asked. "What do you mean by that?!""That was just my speculation." The doctor sighed heavily. "Right now, you need to get checked and if you're suitable to be her blood donor then we'll proceed to that.""Then what a
"Hmm... Please don't go..." Kyle was mumbling words while in deep slumber when his mobile phone interrupted his dreaming. "No!" He shouted as he jolted up. It was then that he heard his mobile phone ringing. As he snatched it from his nightstand, he found a very familiar number and it brought him chills all over. However, regardless of how he felt, he still answered the call as if he hadn't any choice. "Mother," He greeted as he held his mobile phone stiffly. "It's been a while...""Kyle Ashton!" The latter shouted in the other end frigidly. "What the hell is wrong with her?! Does she even know how much trouble she'd caused me for what she had done?!" "Huh?" He broke into a cold sweat as his eyes widened like saucers in shock as he asked. "What?! Megan, what are you talking about?!" "You don't know that she almost killed herself?!" The woman named Megan scolded him over the phone. "Haven't I told you to keep her safe?! Don't you realize how much trouble it would cost me if we h
Kyle tried his best not to get distracted as he maneuvered the stirring wheel. However, he lost control of himself when his mobile phone began ringing. That's when he also realized that a huge truck was coming on his way. SCREECH--! He was lucky that he stepped on the brake just in time before he collided with a container van which he almost bumped into when his eyes darted on his phone screen. Seeing that he received a call from an unfamiliar number just a couple of minutes after he left the building, he panicked for a moment. However, since he was determined to meet Anton Stanford even if it drove Ashley mad, he collected himself quickly and answered his ringing mobile phone. "Kyle Ashton, speaking?" He uttered in a cold voice. While waiting for the person on the other end to speak, bids of sweat trickled down his forehead followed by his thudding chest. No matter how much he tried to sound cool, his hands betrayed him as they trembled in nervousness. "This is Anton Stanford s
Usually, Anton wouldn't show any signs of indulgence towards the woman in front of him. However, since the truth about Athena being alive because of her, he decided to let go of his hatred and look the other way. For his sister's sake, he was willing to be in good terms with her but it seems to him that she was hiding something from him which completely made him curious about her.Upon their family doctor's arrival, he went out and waited.Checking up on her didn't take long. The doctor came out after spending few minutes and he had a questioning look in his face as he strode towards him.”Mr. Stanford,” The doctor had just opened his mouth to tell his findings abot his patient but Anton hurriedly interrupted him.”How is she? Is it serious?” He sounds anxious as he asked.The doctor had serve Stanford family for decades. He was familiar to each family members' reaction everytime they approaches him to ask about his patient. In addition to that, he was able to treat this young man's
The warm sun rays penetrated through the curtain gaps causing Ashley to stir up from her slumber. A slight grunt escaped her throat before she unconsciously covered her face, blocking the warm blinding light while blinking several times to clear her blurry sight. Seconds later, she finally had a clearer view. She yawned and squirmed under the sheets. After sleeping for a couple of hours, she felt lighter and much better. The pain all over her body had subsided compared to the previous day. Her bones and joints seemed fine now and to assure herself that she recuperated enough, she began stretching. Since her specialty was based on keyboards, her concern was first focused on her hands, more specifically on her fingers therefore she tried to wriggle them and she's relieved to know that all of them have gone back to their original flexibility. The swelling of the skin has dissipated. She then stretched out her limbs, followed by her arms only to find out that there was still a tube c
Ashley swallowed, caught off guard by the sudden interruption but when she darted her gaze to Megan she found her smiling professionally toward the source of the voice as she spoke."You misheard me, ma'am. I was telling the patient to cooperate with us for her rapid recovery so that she wouldn't bother your master any more."The woman stared at them suspiciously.Ashley seconded timidly to convince the latter. "Yes, that's what she meant."She heaved a huge sigh, silently thankful that it wasn't him.'So where was he?' Ashley thought, glancing around but she found no signs of his presence so she gathered herself together and focused on whoever was in front of her.While the two had their conversation, she silently studied the unknown woman from the corner of her eyes.Based on her entire appearance, Ashley concluded that she might be one of those members of the Stanford household who held the same position as the butler and Anton sent her in his place to deal with her. Realizing this
