Semua Bab Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Veronica POVI stared at Oliver Manns as he walked around my room, fussing over me. He asked about the ventilation, whether I would like the curtains to be pulled back, or if I wanted something from the kitchen, and he would get it for me. I rubbed my brow, feeling a little stifled in my own room. “Oliver, I can manage on my own.” I reminded him. I just got back from the hospital, but I am fine. “I know, but I wanted you to be comfortable. You still need to rest.” He told me what the doctor reminded me of before he signed my discharge slip. I sighed. “You are making me nauseous,” I told him frankly. At once, Oliver sat beside me on my bed, looking sheepish. “Sorry. I just wanted you to be comfortable before I go.” He told me.The thought of him leaving made me uneasy. Well, it could not be helped. We’ve been together for two days, cooped up in my hospital suite. “I can stay, you know,” Oliver said, making me look at him in surprise. How can he tell what I was feeling?

Lucas POVI watched Katherine as she walked slowly toward me. Unlike earlier, she had a lightness to her steps.We agreed on her talking to Veronica at the ball, but she kept tossing and turning on the bed. When she sat from lying, I immediately knew this was what she needed. So, despite my misgivings, I sent her here. I wanted to go up with her, but she declined my offer, saying she needed to do this alone. I nodded, but at the corner of my eye, I searched for a shadow. He nodded at me. That was when I decided to let Katherine go alone. I felt relief in knowing one of my employees was following her. She had no clue. I don't want to scare her, but at the same time, I wanted to be assured of her safety. Though John Quinn had been apprehended, Agatha Richards was still around. I don't have any idea what shenanigans she was hatching these days. H*ll hath no fury like a woman scorned.Agatha’s silence is making me antsy. I don’t want to alarm Katherine and make her worry about s

Oliver POVAfter Katherine said goodbye, Veronica glanced at me, but she looked spaced out. “Our food order has arrived.” I raised the paper bag with the logo of a famous restaurant on its front to show it to Veronica.That food package gave me the perfect excuse to call on her door because the silence on her end bothered me so much.Right after bathing and changing into fresh clothes, I was so ready to hop into Veronica’s unit when I saw Katherine outside her door.The sight made me pause. I stood inside my unit, with the door open a crack. My mind was alert for what was going to happen. When Veronica opened her door to let Katherine in, I gave her a signal that I would be waiting for her to call me back when the coast was clear. She nodded. But as the minutes ticked by, I couldn’t just sit still and wait for Veronica to call me. What if they ended up arguing? Veroni

Veronica POV I saw him look up from the bowl of eggs to pierce me with that surprised look that often leaves me in awe.  Oliver looked boyishly handsome in my kitchen, wearing a pajama set that almost matched the color of my nightwear, midnight blue.  “So, babe.” He began with that teasing lilt in his voice that had my insides worked up. Gone was the shy Oliver from earlier. He was replaced by the self-assured man I used to know and see from afar.  “What?” I asked in a slightly raised voice.  Oliver had this capacity to evoke mixed feelings in me. Safe an

Oliver POV“What happened?” Veronica asked when she came to a few minutes later after fainting. I, on the other hand, was driving maniacally to the nearest hospital. “You passed out,” I told her.I shifted my gaze to the side to check on her, but the worry her fainting brought still lingers within me. When I saw the sign of the hospital's emergency room, I shifted gears before slowly turning to the right. “Oliver, I am fine. There is no need for us to check into a hospital.” I heeded her words and opened the door to my side before walking to open hers.\Veronica did not like it that I was practically dragging her out and into the ER. At the emergency room, a doctor attended to her. She asked several questions while performing routine checkups before explaining what had happened. “Grief could trigger a vasovagal reflex. It’s an emotional response that slows down the heart rate and reduces blood flow, reducing the oxygen supply to the brain, which causes the fainting.” Dr. Smit
