Chapter 0135 Sydney's POV: "Sydney, are you okay? The doctor said...
I tuned out and everything Lucas said fell on deaf ears. First, I felt the surface I laid on; it felt familiar. I recognized the shirt I had on; it was one of Lucas'.
T Immediately I woke up, I had a quick replay of the last tI was awake. I remembered falling into Lucas' arms and faming unconscious as he screamed if I was okay. I had half expected that I would be in a hospital room but here I was, on the familiar feel of my bed and sheets.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas' face was the last face I saw and now, his face was still the first image 1 opened my eyes to.- "Are you okay?" He reiterated and held my hands. His brows were furrowed and concern filled his eyes as they searched mine. He seemed to have gotten the hint that I wasn't listening to him.
"I'm fine," my voice cout scratchy as murmured my response and tried to sit up. Lucas quickly rushed to me. He arranged the pillow I laid my head on and propped them up so I could rest my back then he helpedsit up.
"Thank you." I said slowly.
"Are you sure? I could quickly holler the doctor back" He held my hands as he asked, his eyes intently onas if he would detect whatever was wrong withby just staring.
I shook my head slowly, "There'd be no need for that. I feel okay." Atleast, I think I do. I wasn't feeling any pain or discomfort actually. No headache or insane migraine, no body pain or joint pain...nothing. I felt like how I would feel after I've just woken up on a normal morning. Groggy was the word.
heard him release a breath of relief as he moved close and sat by my side. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead, "I was really worried when you fell." gave him a tender smile, "I Know," then I frowned, "What happened though? Why did I just blackout like that?" Chapter 0155 +25 BONUS He answered, smoothing my hair to the back, "The doctor said you fainted because of extrstress combined with being overly tired recently. He said you've been overworking your body and it had been building up. It just turned out that was the moment your body couldn't take all the stress anymore." His explanation made sense. Since divorce to the issue with Richie and the company and many other happenings, I had been overworking myself, both Grace and I. I also made a mental note to make sure she goes on a break soon. even though she went on vacation after her ordeal with Sandra and Steven. These past few days have been crazy. Anyone who went through what we went through deserved a good amount of rest. "I guess I saw it coming," I murmured back. I definitely saw it coming, the few seconds dizziness, the mild headaches, body aches...my body alertedbut was just so used to overworking myself that I ignored them. "You really need to take a break," Lucas said and placed a kiss on my forehead again. When he drew back, he was frowning. "It why was it at that tit happened? I mean you've gotten off work. What happened in the restroom? Besides you took too long in there?" He rushed out his questions. His frown. deepened and his eyes fell on my wrist. "And how cyou have the bracelet. that Lucas bid for and bought at the auction on your wrist?" I looked down at my wrist too and I sighed. There is no way of escaping this. I have to tell him.
"Mark was in there.' "What?!" Lucas erupted. Then I explained everything that had happened in the restroom.
Lucas' face was pinched and red with rage by the tI was through. "How could he treat you like that?" I had half expected him to blme fir not calling out for help or for lettingtouch him but all of his anger was directed at Mark.

I quickly touched his arm and touched him, "No, Lucas. There's no need for that. His influence is strong and he's about to beca politician's son-in-law.

"Well I don't care who he is or who he is in alliance with. He 1. He did something wrong and will call the police on him."
He tried to untangle my fingers around his wrists: I didn't let him. "Lucas, please. You shouldn't act on your anger. Think it through. With all the affluence and connection he has, even if we did report him, the case would get buried. Besides, you know his company just invested in ours and I don't want anything that will make them withdraw their investment. Considering everything, going to the police isn't a viable solution at all." His shoulders sagged, "I'm letting this go because you don't want to press charges." I gave his arm a squeeze, "I know." He smiled slightly and pulledinto a hug. I hugged him back.
"Why don't you cwithto Italy?" He suddenly blurted out and I had to pull away to be able to tell if he was joking or if he meant what he said. I searched his eyes and there was no trace of humor in them. "Are you being serious right now?" RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
