I’m Divorcing with You Mr Billionaire! Chapter 84
Chapter 84 Chapter Eighty Four
Again, I woke up with a the worst of splitting headaches there could be… exaggerated that a bur too much, but yes, it hurt. I slightly winced as I turned to my side. I could make out a pole, a blue curtain, white walls and I could already tell that I was in a hospital. Memories of what happened and obviously landed me in a hospital assailed me.
Who brought me here? I wondered but I continued putting the right name on the things I could see; a beeping computer, another blue curtain, more white walls, walk a-
“Oh my God, Sydney!”
I suddenly felt arms on my arm. I squeezed my eyes shut, my head ached as I turned to face the direction that the voice had come from.
It was Grace. I managed a smile but my smile fell the moment I noticed her swollen, red rimmed eyes and watery smile and the dark circles under her eyes. Grace never had dark circles or swollen eyes. No matter how long or late she worked, she always had a way to make them look non–existent.
“What happened? Are you okay?” I asked in alarm and tried to stand up but Grace quickly pressed my shoulder down, and her fingers slowly massaged a muscle under it. “Relax, girl relax. You need to rest,” her voice quivered as she spoke but her voice sounded happy.
Suddenly, at the wrongest time, I remembered. I looked up at a smiling Grace. She was brushing her hands down on my hair softly.
“What time is it?” I said weakly, but even with a weak voice, I sounded desperate.
I held my breath, hoping that it wasn’t time yet. The shareholder‘ meeting of GT Group was to be held the next day. As a shareholder, I’m also supposed to attend and that was more of the reason why I had left work so that I could have time to rest and attend the meeting in good state but Bella just had to ruin everything.
I
“You!” Grace accused, a slight frown on her face. She choked out, “You scared me to death! When gol home yesterday, I found you lying on the floor in your room, motionless.” She sniffed, “No matter how much I called for you, you wouldn’t wake up. Her voice shook this time, “I thought you were dead. If anything happened to you, I would die of guilt. You said you weren’t feeling. well, but I still insisted on staying at the office for that damn overtime. I should have been with- you
I gave her a weak smile, “I feel much better now, don’t worry, okay?”
She pouted, “You know I’ll always worry, then she pulled me into a hug.
“What time is it? Or to be more specific, what day is it? How long have you been here?” Grace frowned and pulled away. “Why do you need to know all that?” She asked but she answered my questions anyway. “We’ve been in the hospital for hours, we spent the night here.” I sighed and sank into the bed. “Can you help me ch*ck on the shareholders‘ meeting of GT Group? I am supposed to attend.”
Grace scowled at me and said, “Sydney, what you need now is rest. Not to be running helter skelter all in the name of attending some meeting. Forget about that damned shareholders‘ meeting. Your health is the most important thing.”
“Come on, Grace, I’m supposed to be in attendance. I tried to sit up, but Grace wouldn’t let me. “You should rest, Sydney.”
I knew she meant well but I was starting to get pissed. “Gracr, stop it. I have to be there. It’s just fir about a couple of hours and I’ll be back.”
“Nuh uh, nope, you’d remain here for at least an hour.”
I glared at her and she met my glare with an equally fierce one. Neither of us was willing to back down.
Our stare down was broken when the sound of the door being opened reached us. We both Chapter 81 Chapter Eighty Four
turned toward the door.
It was the doctor. He had a vibrant smile, the type that was so genuine that you couldn’t help but return the smile and we both did. Except Grace’s smile was wider, her eyes twinkled and she
blushed!
I shook my head as I looked away from her, a small smile tugging at my l*ps. It was about time. “Doctor, how am I doing now?” I asked, deciding to focus on the matter at hand now.
“Miss Sydney, right?” I nodded and intently looked at the doctor’s face, hoping to catch. every shift of emotion in his facial expression, as he studied my medical history. Then he looked up with a smile on his face and said, “You’re in good health. Though there are still some test results. we’re waiting for, we’ll call you when they’re ready or whenever we have news. For now, you can go home and you should get a lot of rest, okay?
Sydney nodded, “I understand, thank you, doctor.”
I passed a ‘now what look at Grace and she rolled her eyes. But before she caught my eye, caught her eyeing the unaware doctor..
I
Soon enough, the doctor turned to Grace, “You too,” he pointed the pen he had in his hand toward her and I didn’t think my friend could brush harder than she already was. “You need to take care of yourself while looking after the patient. Look at you, you’re all flushed, you haven’t slept a wink since last night! Look, you’re almost turning into a panda.”
Grace giggled weirdly and blushed, “I… I understand, thank you, doctor,” I almost slapped my forehead as I listened to her stammer.
The doctor beamed at her, he briefly turned to me. “I’ll leave you two now, call me if you need anything, okay?”
I nodded, “We will.”
Grace breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor left the room and started to fan her face. “Gosh! I can’t believe that man saw me with these dark circles. I must look like a lunatic. She turned to me, “Do I look like a lunatic?”
“No. You do not look like a lunatic.”
She pouted then her gaze suddenly narrowed. “You’re still not going to that meeting.”
“Come on, Grace. See? The doctor said I’m fine. Why else should I not go?”
“Because you need to rest, Grace said matter of factly.
“I’m going to that meeting. I deadpanned. I promise you, as soon as the shareholders‘ meeting is over, I’ll come back and rest, okay?”
Grace looked at me and sighed, her eyes filled with concern, “Fine, If you insist, I’ll drive you there.
“No,” I shook my head and she was already glaring at me before I said anything. “I’ll take a taxi.” “And why will you do that?” She shot back defiantly.
I took her hands in mine, “You’ve been up all night, Grace and you worked all day yesterday, you will be too tired to drive. You don’t want to put me either of us in danger by dozing off while driving, do you?” She shook her head and I nodded too.
Then I clutched her hand tighter. “Now, Promise me that you’ll go home and sleep for a few hours, and after the meeting, I’d call you do that you can come pick, okay?”
It felt like it took cons before Grace reluctantly nodded, agreeing to my terms.
Grace and I left the hospital after we settled the necessary bills. Thankfully, Grace, ever considerate and smart thinking brought me a dress. It wasn’t very appropriate for a formal meeting but it will do.
When we got outside, she ensured that I got the taxi in her presence while she waited in the car. The moment I hailed down a taxi and got in, the two cars zoomed off at the same time and we parted ways where we had to.
Luckily, I arrived in time for the shareholders meeting. The door was starting to close when I

hollered out, “A minute, please hastening my steps until I got in and then the door was shut
after me
I easily found my usual seat that had my nameplate on it. I sighed as I settled in the seat. Now the one problem I had with the seat that was assigned to me was the fact that Rose’s seat was next to mine. I usually had to seat through her glares and scowls and whenever I try to make a suggestion. I spent the rest of the meeting gritting my teeth and clenching my fists because she wouldn’t stop scoffing and snorting. The woman really did know how to get on my nerves
I exhaled deeply after I was settled in my seat. I turned to her so we could exchange our usual fake smile – not that it was necessary but it had become a routine of some sort
only to be surprised at the person sitting next to me.
My eyes traveled to the nameplate and back. Why and when? I wondered. I asked with a staggering smile, Lucas, what are you doing here?”
