Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

Again, I woke up with a the worst of splitting headaches there could be... exaggerated that a but 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 watery smile and the dark circles under her eyes. Grace never had dark circles or swollen eyes. No matter eyes and 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.

"You!" Grace accused, a slight frown on her face. She choked out, "You scared me to death! When I got 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 check 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."

floor beside the drawer.

All 1 could see was the blurry floor and her bare feet but I heard her clearly sneer at me, "Thought I would thank you, huh?" Then I watched as those feet turned around and marched away.

As my gaze got blurrier and the edges of my blurry gaze darkened, I had only one thought, "Great. At least, I can avoid the suspicion of harboring a fugitive."

"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."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

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 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 lips. 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?
