Gabriel’s P.O.V.“So, you mean to say that Lauren had been taking care of the work of all these departments all this time, and now you can’t find a suitable replacement of her?” I asked Victor angrily while throwing the file that I had just finished reviewing a few seconds ago.Victor flinched harder when the file hit his hand and fell to the ground but didn’t look up.“For God’s sake, Victor, she is also a human, not a superhuman or something like that. She had a lot of tasks to finish related to my recovery, and yet she supervised five departments’ work, managed things for the company and me with you, and also held several meetings with various people to get more business for the company. You want me to believe that?” I didn’t know why I was so angry, but I was now fuming in anger.Victor still didn’t speak, but his silence was like a sharp knife slashing my heart.Because everything that I was refusing to believe was true. I ran my fingers through my hair, feeling overwhelmed, help

Caellum's worry

Lauren’s P.O.V.“During the first phase of the treatment plan, the crucial problem was to prepare the patient psychologically for the treatment. They suddenly lose their mobility, and this sudden change in their lives, the depression engulfed every positive thought present in their mind and hope in their mind. Any kind of hope can be fatal to them. So, the first phase only involved encouraging them morally to accept the reality, and also that the treatment plan is only to prevent their condition from deteriorating further.” I paused and took a deep breath.It was a video conference with my research team. I had already sent them the final data that I had on Gabriel’s treatment’s last phase.I was excited to start using the same treatment plan for the other patients who voluntarily signed up for the test subject project.Caellum had assigned a team that went to meet those patients and convinced them that even if there was no hope of their recovery, they should take a chance.As I stated

she is not at a loss

Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)My ears started ringing and I heard screaming all around me.This wasn’t the first time that I heard it, but this time, they sounded closer to me than they were in the past.“Bro….. please shut these voices up.” I cried in despair when the voice increased the severity of my headache.“Take this med, Lauren. Everything will be okay, love. Take this med.” I heard Caellum yelling in panic, and something solid pressed on my lips.I took the pill but couldn’t gulp it down.Water slipped inside my mouth. I felt it, but those noises couldn’t stop.The chaos in my mind was so intense that I couldn’t register what Caellum was doing with me.I felt a tight embrace holding me.I shrank in his embrace, suddenly feeling safe and protected.“It’s okay, kiddo. It’s okay. I got you. You are safe. You are safe.” I heard him comforting me, and soon his voice became louder than those noises.I felt my mind slipping into the darkness, and I let it be.Caellum’s P.O.V.“It has

he approached us

Lauren’s P.O.V.“Wow! This is amazing.” I exclaimed sarcastically but laughed like a maniac while looking at the application that my team received through the mail.The one sent by Gabriel, requesting us to consider Celia’s case for our test’s subject.He is so worried for her that he is ready to make her a test subject if it means curing her completely.What a devotion of love???It, once again, made me feel like a fool. I brought it upon myself.No matter what my motive for approaching him was, I can't deny that I loved him unconditionally and wholeheartedly.“I sent him the lists of all the pros and cons of this experiment, emphasizing that he or the patient will not hold us accountable for anything bad happening to the patient or if she doesn’t recover because this is not the treatment but the experimental phase of the research,” Christopher told me nonchalantly, making me look at him with wide eyes in surprise.Christopher was like Caellum to me. When I joined the team as an inte

an unfamiliar pull

Lauren’s P.O.V.By the time the nurse finished rebandaging my ribs and helped me change into the fresh top, my heartbeat still hadn’t returned to normal.It was ridiculous, but confusingI met Vincent only twice, but every time I had felt that familiar pull, and safety of his embrace.We met every time when I was emotionally unstable. So, I didn’t pay attention to that pull, but….Something felt different this time.“Done,” Sofia said, patting my shoulder lightly.“You can go now. And try not to overthink things too much.” She winked in the end while standing up.I frowned at her, confused. “What do you mean?”She just gave me that same teasing smile and walked out, leaving me pouting lightly.Get a grip, Lauren.I scolded myself mentally and slowly stood up. Good thing was that I didn’t need to use the wheelchair anymore, but bad thing was that I must be more cautious in my movement than before because of the bandage around my chest.I walked out of the room, and the moment I stepped

I didn't know her

Gabriel’s P.O.V.The pen slipped from my fingers when another wave of headache hit me.I didn’t know when I stopped signing the documents, but the headache is now troubling more than ever.After Lauren’s departure, nothing went right.I didn’t want to admit it, but I couldn’t deny that with Lauren beside me, I never felt so intense headache, loss of appetite, lack of concentration, and, above all, my strength to think better.“Mr. Westfield?” Victor called cautiously. I looked at him blankly while rubbing my forehead.He glanced at the paper in front of me and then back at me; this time worry filled his gaze.I blinked and looked down at the paper in front of me. My signature looked uneven and shaky.Just like my thoughts.“Send the next file,” I muttered, rubbing my forehead.Victor didn’t move, though. I glanced at him in irritation.He didn’t speak but looked at me with a troubled expression.“What now?” I snapped.He hesitated, looked at the tablet in his hands, and then placed it

her comfort

Lauren’s P.O.V.Do you trust me?The question and the answer that I gave were constantly haunting my thoughts ever since I came back from the hospital yesterday.That blunt answer showed my unwavering trust in Vincent if we talk in terms of psychology.But I barely know him. My gaze was locked at the horizon, but I wasn’t seeing anything there. I was sitting at a recliner in the balcony of my bedroom with a book in my hand, but I hadn’t flipped a page all this time.Ever since yesterday, after that conversation with Vincent, both my heart and my mind were in chaos.I barely knew him, but his proximity didn’t overwhelm me. I didn’t hate him being close to me when I hate people invading my comfort zone.Yet I was comfortable in his presence.If…. If Vincent held an important place in my life before I lost a part of my memories, Caellum and Joyce would have told me about that.But they didn’t.Is Vincent related to something painful?If this were the case, they wouldn’t have let him come

he made a call

Lauren’s P.O.V. (Continued)I didn’t take the call but stared at the screen blankly. The ringing went on until it stopped on its own.I looked at the horizon again.“If the lost memories are meant to return. They will return on their own. If not, make the new memories.”I scoffed bitterly.What if the new memories hurt you more than those forgotten memories?What should one do then?I sighed and closed my eyes again.Joyce was right.I should not think about the past so hard. I knew about the accident and what I lost in that accident, along with a part of my memories.I only want to know what Vincent’s role was in my past.He didn’t appear when I woke up and stayed away from me for four years.Why did he appear now?“Why are you sitting in the air? The weather has become cold now.” I sighed and slowly opened my eyes when I heard Caellum’s voice from behind.“It’s good to be in the open for some time, bro.” I answered him teasingly and opened my eyes.He covered me with a shawl but gla

his warning my persistence

Vincent’s P.O.V.“What happened? Why did you call me so urgently?” I asked Caellum after entering his office.The room was still as neat, clean, and organized as it had always been, but something was off with the atmosphere.Caellum was standing facing the ceiling-to-roof glass window. He didn’t move in my direction.His hands were thrust inside his pants pockets.He didn’t reply to me but stayed in the same posture.I noticed how stiff his shoulders were.I stopped beside him on his left, facing the window too.“You are late.” He remarked coldly.I thrust my hands in my pants pockets.“I was in an international meeting,” I replied calmly, looking at the skyscrapers around the building.The sun was bright, but the atmosphere inside the room was gloomy.“What did you say to her?” He asked me coldly; the edge in his voice was sharp.I stiffened but didn’t look in his direction.The accusation in his voice was heavy and filled with anger.“What exactly are you referring to?” I asked him

she felt awful

No One’s P.O.V.Lauren stepped into the room slowly with a faint smile, but her smile faltered when she noticed Vincent’s presence in the room.Caellum was seated on the couch, posture composed, one arm resting on the armrest.Vincent stood near the opposite side; his stance was relaxed, but she could see restlessness in his eyes.Both of them looked at her at the same time.She noticed the thick and suffocating tension in the room, but she didn’t point it out. Both Caellum and Vincent appeared calm on the surface, but she knew that nothing was calm under that façade.She felt as if she knew both Caellum and Vincent too well to appear naïve to their demeanor.Yet she decided not to say a word about that.“Why are you here, Lauren? Why did you travel? Your ribs are still healing, Lauren.” Caellum asked her sternly, but worry was evident in his voice.“I got bored at home, brother, but you are right. With my healing ribs, I can’t go to the institute. So, I decided to come here to stay w
