All Chapters of A Promise To Forever: Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

It was Sunday. A day before Eva's surgery. I was in my office doing some works that were still remaining. Both of our offices, that is, Eva's and Co. as well as The Stones Inc. were working today since Adrian's company had a similar 'server crash'. Our investigators were looking at the case since these events looked too suspicious to be a pure coincidence. But in the meantime, we had to recover things.It was a stressful situation. Specially with Eva's surgery the next day. I would be taking leave for a few days so I was trying to complete as much as I could before that.I was checking the files when I saw that a few of them didn't have Adrian's signature in them. I'd told Leah to send them to his assistant last week but the woman seemed to have a hard time interpreting directions. I looked around for her but she was nowhere to be found. She'd come earlier with my blueberry muffin and coffee when she'd arrived and she hadn't logged out of her computer so she must still be inside the

"I can't feel my legs."I stumbled backwards hearing this and felt a pair of arms holding me, preventing me from falling down. I didn't have to look back to know who it was.

Adrian moved away after giving my shoulder a little squeeze. A part of me wanted to call out to him but I stopped myself. Another pair of smaller arms enveloped me into a hug and I looked over to see Allie with tears in her own eyes. I could hear Adria

I walked out of the hospital cafeteria with a bag containing burger and fries and two takeaway cups of hot chocolate. My dear sister had shooed me out of her room, not so politely asking me to not enter unless I bring good food to her. I had to sneakily bribe the nice looking waiter to fulfill my sisterly duties.My phone vibrated as I was walking towards Eva's room and I adjusted the bags and the cups on one hand while I searched for my phone. With great difficulty, I took it out of my back pocket and smiled at the contact name. I was starting to feel that I should change his contact name by now but it always managed to make me laugh everytime he called so I let it be.I ignored my heart which was once again resuming what seemed to be its job everytime the devil was involved in any form and answered the call. Before I could even utter a word, however, Adrian beat me to it."How's Eva? How did it go?"He sounded breathless, as if he was running and soon enough, I heard the ding of the
