Delirium Lauren Oliver Novels & Stories

Tessa stared at her silently for a moment. Lauren looked thinner now. More unstable. Her eyes carried sleepless nights and bottled-up rage. Even the way she stood before Tessa looked restless, like someone barely holding herself together. But beneath all that madness was another thing clearly visible. Desperation. Few days ago, Lauren lay in her hospital bed, looking blankly, lost at the ceiling when her former assistant - Grace entered the room to see her. Lauren had sustained a severe injury from prison that led to her hospitalization.

The ward was completely silent. Another one of our neighbors, Sean Boyer, stared at me incredulously with his jaw dropped. Even Jessica frowned hard as she looked at me. Delilah froze at first. Then, she looked at me in shock and said, "What nonsense are you saying, Ron? I'm your wife, Delilah Rowland!" "Officer, I think that Dad must have had some severe carbon monoxide poisoning and hallucinated things." A cold, calm voice appeared at the door. It was Dakota.

He said, referring to the combat that happened minutes ago. “Ofcourse,” the corner of Father's lips curved up. He directed his hand to the both female wolvens beside Alpha Reuel. “And this is the Skylarron’s Luna, Elena and their daughter, Stella.” “Pleasure to meet you, Oliver” Elena waved her hand to stop me from bowing my head to her. “I must say the description about your…beauty do not do you justice.” I faked a smile, hoping it doesn't come out as awkward as I felt. Elena wore a smile that brightened her face warmly. Her dark hair was swept to the back, braided and held with pins. “The pleasure is mine, Luna Elena.”

I flew over here with Ryan the second Vincent told me that Lauren fainted. “Someone came to meet her this afternoon, and after meeting him, she said that she has also forgotten him. She said that they used those drugs on her more than once, suppressing so many of her memories, and that man, Liam Sterling, is a part of those suppressed memories.” Vincent explained to Ryan. The other neurologist, who was now taking care of Lauren with Ryan, looked at Ryan. I could see that they were shocked by what they heard, but there was nothing that I could do here.

They were pictures of Anise! Pictures of her at her new company, pictures of her walking with Liam. There was even a long-distance shot of her at her balcony… The one sitting topmost of the table had a menacing X drawn over it with a red pen. “Arthur?!” Clarice dropped her wine glass, which shattered on the carpet and stained it red. Arthur swept his gaze over the pictures before finally setting his eyes on the computer screen… It was the surveillance footage of the night Anise was drugged.

Delice shut the door behind her, taking two steps into the room and going no further. "You are with Oliver?" She asked, her face unreadable, her hands behind her. Carefully tucking away the pillow, Laura walked a little closer to her, her hands wrapping up her black hair on a quick bun. "Yes." "Laura." Delice's dead heart broke and the betrayal flashed in her eyes. "What is wrong with Oliver?" "You know very much what is wrong with Oliver." "It was in the past," she hissed. "You are not a child, Delice. Stop hanging unto fading memories. How many years ago was this?"

After sleeping for just over four hours, Lauren woke up and hurriedly returned to the Intensive Care Unit. Unfortunately, the nurse had just wheeled Oliver out to transfer him to the regular ward. Lauren broke down when she didn’t see Oliver, crying, "Where is he? Where's Oliver?" At that moment, I was afraid that if something really happened to Oliver, Lauren might think about ending her life too. Alex stepped forward, gently embracing the agitated Lauren. He softly said, "Don’t be upset, Lauren. They're getting ready to move him to the regular ward. Don't worry."

She could not tell whether it was still daytime or night had already arrived. In her delusional state, a man picked her up as she was about to fall to the ground. The man carried her Princess style and headed to the second floor where lodging rooms were located. All Layla could see with her blurred vision was Oliver’s handsome face. She clutched his neck tightly refusing to let go. “Oly… Oli… Oliver, do you… you… know… how much… I… missed you?” Layla stammered as she posed the question.

Landon took a deep breath before explaining, "Lauren was drugged. I found her in the garden out back. The effects had already overcome her, so I had her drink some water and eat something to slow it down. Her condition is more stable now. All she needs is some rest." The Beckett family's faces colored up differently upon hearing that. Newton was trembling, ready to fall any second. "What? Lauren was …" Javier went to help hold him up. "Deep breaths, Dad. Come and help me, Ben!" "Grandpa!" Alyssa went up to Newton too, worried for his health. Winston pursed his lips upon seeing his daughter care so much for Newton. He was feeling quite envious right now.

And just as I screamed her name, and Olivia started to turn around, Delilah ran towards her and struck her at the back of her head. It was such a blunt force, and on the exact spot Olivia had been cut open for the brain surgery just months ago. Olivia fell flat, her head hitting the concrete floor hard and blood started to spread quickly. For a whole second, I couldn’t move, my eyes wide in horror at the scene, at Delilah now backing away, horrified at what she had done. Then her hands came up to her face, and she screamed! Her scream pushed my legs into motion, and I was out of the room and bounding down the stairs, bumping into walls and banisters as my body swayed, and my vision blurred,
