Debby's pov

Anna's apartment....! Two weeks later....!

Anna drops the bowl of chicken wings on the dinning table... I quickly got up and covers my nose when the aroma hits me.

I suddenly feel nauseous.

"What's the meaning of that? You told me you wanted eat some chicken wings and here they are"

I shake my head.

"I suddenly change my mind... I want chicken nuggets"

"Huh?!"

"I said I want chicken nuggets"

"I heard you the first time!" She growls at me.

I couldn't hold on any longer... I dashed towards Anna's room since it's the closest to me, I entered her toilet and bend over and start vomiting my guts out.

I feel Anna raise my hair from behind.

"Debby, are you preggie?!" She asked.

"W-what?!" I stutter out and continue vomiting.

"I asked if you're pregnant?"

That question stopped me from vomiting temporarily.. I turns to her a little.

"What?! No!"

"Then I think it's high time you visited the hospital to check your taste buds or something.... you've been this way since last week"

I got up and head back to the living room... I think I'll avoid the dinning room for now.

I slumped onto a sofa and lean back, I shut my eyes and take deep breaths to calm myself down.

"I should go get changed and bring you to the hospital"

"No, I already went there yesterday... the test results will be out today" I told her.

Yesterday, when I was at Lucas's, I fainted and he quickly brought me to the hospital.

"Then, let me accompany you to check it"

"No, I'll let Lucas bring me there!"

She narrows her eyes at me... like I have another intentions for letting Lucas take me... I just don't wanna stress her.

I've been stressing her a lot these past days that I stayed with her.

"Why can't I accompany you? What's up with you and Lucas?"

"Anna, you haven't been having time for your relationship and that makes me feel like it's because of me"

"What?" She frowns. "Sean and I are ok..."

"Call him and set a date for you guys!" I cut her off. "Don't let Sean get jealous of me!"

The door open and Sean walks in with a single rose flower in his hands.

"You're damn right, Debby... I'll be jealous of you if she doesn't create time for me!"

Anna rolls her eyes... Sean kneels in front of her and stretch out the rose.

"For you, my pretty lady!" He said in a french man accent.

Anna takes the rose and perceive it, closing her eyes momentarily to appreciate its fine fragrance.

"Thank you, darling!" She said and pecks his lips.

Ah! I wish my own boyfriend was this romantic when we first knew each other... I wouldn't have done too much work.

In fact, until now he's still not romantic... just he's no longer the psychopath I met.

I got up and sighed heavily.

"Well, Sean is here to keep you company.. I better carry on with my business!"

"Fine! But make sure you visit the hospital"

"I will" I replied and head towards her room to freshen up.. since I moved out, apart from my bed none of my stuff are in my room.

Writer's pov

At the hospital....!

Olivia grumpily pushed the plates of food Martha had placed in front of her.

"Olivia...."

"You lying bitch!" She cuts Martha off. "You told me your plan will make Andre turn to me in two weeks... It's already two weeks, why don't I see Andre here?!" Martha sighs.. she picks the plates and cleans the floor.

"You are not patient" Martha said.

She reaches for her bag and brings out some papers and hands them to Olivia.

"What are these?!" Olivia asked.

"Fake results for your leg... Our plan A didn't work, so we'll use plan B"

Olivia scoffs and toss the papers aside.

"I'm tired of all your plans, what am I supposed to do with that stupid results?!"

Martha leans forward and whispers in Olivia's ear... It seems what Martha told is very interesting, she smiled brightly.

She quickly reached for the papers and stares at them.

"We should have come up with a plan like this earlier!" She said.

Martha refills the plates and placed them in front of her.

"Eat, Andre is yours already!" Martha comforts her.

Just then Mr Thompson comes in... Olivia quickly stops eating and fold her arms across her chest.

She pulls a long face... Mr Thompson notices her sad face and frown.

"What's wrong, honey? How's your leg?" He asked her.

Olivia scoff and turns away. Mr Thompson sits by her bed side and examine her legs... since he's not a doctor, he couldn't tell if her legs are actually healing or not.

"I know you're tired of staying in bed all day, but don't worry, honey, soon you'll be able to use your legs again!" He said with a smile.

"I wish it's true.. my legs are getting worse each day!"

"Worse? Haven't you been taking your medications?"

"I have" she reached for the fake results and shows them to Martha. "The doctor gave these to Mom this afternoon.. it's stated there that I can't use my legs!" She cries.

Mr Thompson looks at the results with a sad expression... he can't believe his daughter won't be able to use her legs.

He looks up at sees her crying... although he doesn't want her to be a spoilt brat, but he loves her dearly and doesn't like to see her in pain.

"Don't worry, honey, I'm here for you.. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy until you can walk again!"

"Really?"

"Yes, just tell me what you want... whatever you want, I'll do it!"

Olivia and Martha shared a knowing look briefly.

"Dad, I want you to..."

Lucas's apartment.....!

"Lucas, can you please change your clothes and not use that cologne?"

Like seriously, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm kinda sensitive to all kinds of smell recently... I can't even use my perfume.

The only smell that doesn't make me feel nauseous is Andre's cologne.... I replace it sweet and addictive.

But that was saturday last week, I don't know how it's gonna be this week if I perceive his cologne again.

"Debs, we really need to get that result now to know if something is wrong with your nose... I have been using this cologne all my life. You were the one who choose it because you liked its fragrance... So, what's happening now?" I sighed and pushed him towards his room.

"I don't know.. just change your shirt and don't use any cologne!" I order him.

He doesn't say a word, he silent enters his room and shut the door. I turn and head back to his living room but something catches my eyes.

I walked back, on his fridge there's an envelope with a picture sticking out.

I picked the envelope and pulls out the picture... a quiet gasp leaves my mouth.

Mrs Chesterfield? Why does he has Mrs Chesterfield picture with him? Is he her lost grandson?

What could be their connection?

I quickly open the envelope and saw some papers inside.. I randomly pulls one out and another quiet gasp leaves my mouth.

But it was snatched away from me.. I only managed to pick a few words.

*Mrs Chesterfield involved in an accident with the Craigs..... Properties under Mrs Chesterfield care!*

Lucas snatches the envelope and pictures from me and quickly throws them in his room.

"What did you see?" He asked.

I know he's referring to the paper because he knows clearly that I saw the pictures.

"Nothing! I saw nothing!" I replied.

I hear him sigh in relief. I know he doesn't wanna talk about it, I'm not gonna ask him too... I'll wait until he's ready to talk to me about it.

But the question that keeps nagging me is.... Could it be Mrs Chesterfield caused the accident that took Lucas's father's life?

Could Mrs Chesterfield be the cause of their current situation?

"Debby!" He snaps his fingers across my face.

I blinked and gave him my attention.

"Huh?"

"I said I've changed, can we leave now?"

I perceived his shirt and nod... he takes my hand and leads me towards the door.

"Lucas, what about the child I asked you to investigate... Any news yet?" I asked.

When Olivia told me about her child, I felt like something wasn't right... so, I asked Lucas to help me investigate if it's true.

But when she called me about the orphanage being on fire.. I couldn't think straight.

All I had in mind was save the baby.... But I didn't expect that accident would happen.

"I have, but there's really a child at an orphanage.. though I'm suspecting the matron was bribed to lie about that child being Olivia's"

Hmm... Olivia! You're Well prepared.. trying to play on my kindness!

"We'll go by the orphanage later, I wanna have a talk with the matron!"

Lucas nods and open the door for me.. I enters and he round the car to the driver's side.

He turns in the engine and drives off.
