Still Want You のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

A FEW DAYS LATERSteven was sitting in his office focusing on his work, he had been very absent-minded lately and ruining all his work. He would always forget the main point that he needed to discuss and also he wasn’t able to verify the information properly.Every time during his court hearing, he would make a mistake. He felt lost and alone even when he was sitting in a courtroom that was fully crowded with people.Mr. Xavier knows why he has become like this but he didn’t dare to say anything to him about it or mention that person’s name who has changed him drastically.He was flipping through the recent case file when Natasha knocked and entered his office, Steven was as expected in a dark mood as Natasha informed him politely.“Mr. Carlos’s secretary has called again for the meeting schedule. You’re free today so should I…”Before she could get a chance to complete her words, Steven snapped angrily. &ldquo

Shaking with grief and sorrow, Steven looked at Laura, his eyes softened and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, she kept coming to him and he kept rejecting her. What would it take if he had spared her five minutes?He blamed himself in his heart.Seeing Steven’s getting depressed, Augustus spoke, “Whatever you did was justified Steven, It wasn’t your fault she is here today but you can save her Steven. When she was rescued from her apartment she was murmuring your name. Please bring her back, she needs you, she still wants you.”Augustus held his arm and pleaded softly.Steven looked at him surprised, he had never seen Augustus in a miserable state like this, hence he had sacrificed a lot for Laura and also paid back all his brutality before.Feeling a sense of thanking Augustus, Steven pulled him in his arms and hugged him tightly as they both needed this hug, they hugged each other tightly with slightly misty eyes.“Thank you for being with Laura when I wasn’t th

Laura opened her eyes wide, startled by her dream. Shocked, she blinked her eyes to analyze the place where she was with her breaths coming shallow.She then felt the weight on her hand and tried to look down, when she looked at the familiar sight, she smiled with difficulty and laid back. Her face frowned in pain.She laid quietly as her left hand was pressed by the man’s head weight and the other she was using to gently caressed his hair in his sleep feeling delighted and deeply grateful to God.Steven, who was sleeping soundly, felt extremely calm when someone caressed his hair, his nerves started to relax and that little gesture was soothing his nerves.He moved in his sleep and then realising that the touch wasn’t his hallucination or dream but reality, he immediately opened his eyes and sat up while wiping his drooling saliva from his mouth.“Hey…”Laura said weakly and Steven stared at her with shock and surprise.&l

The days passed by but Laura didn’t wake up or showed any sign of improving. Steven never left her sight for a once, Lisa kept visiting her daily and still has not forgiven Augustus.Even though they still live under the same roof, she would hardly say any word to him and never respond to his words directly.Augustus had apologized a hundred times, but Lisa didn’t seem to care about his bland apologies at all.Many occasions came but it went in silence with Steven and Lisa and Augustus, and soon the new year’s eve arrived.As everyone was excited and happy celebrating new year’s eve, here there were three people who weren’t interested in celebrating it in any way but just silently praying in their hearts to make it memorable by Laura’s consciousness.“I’ll leave with the kids in the evening,” Augustus informed Lisa even when he knew she wouldn't respond to it. But her reply merely stunned him.&ldquo

Realizing the silent appearance of two people beside her, Laura turned and looked at them with a confusing look and then at Augustus.“Is something wrong?”She asked, and Augustus instead of answering her just changed the topic, “Have you eaten anything?” and she shook her head.“Let’s bring something for you to eat, first.”He said gently, and then walked out of the room, Steven followed him behind while Lisa stayed with Laura.“You and Augustus…?”Lisa asked, looking amused by their bonding.“Augustus is a good man sis, I had troubled him a lot but he endured everything just for you. He really loves you.”Laura held Lisa’s hand and squeezed it lightly.Lisa gave her a weak smile in response, just because Augustus loves her that doesn’t mean he has got the right to hide everything from her. That’s completely wrong.Sensing Lisa’s quietness, Laura knew that Augu
