Chapter 120: Chapter 120
For what? Mandy asked him, he smirked. Why didn't you eat last night and today?
I wasn't hungry!
Have you ever see anyone who is not hungry throughout a day? Lauren didn't reply her. Go on tell me.
You weren't here to eat with me. Mandy look at him, she blushed, averting her gaze, she shouldn't play with fire, Lauren doesn't love her. Haven't you been eating without me?
You look different.
Different? Mandy asked.
Yes, when you blush. She hurry from his bed, she needed to give him space.
You are fine now, I should leave. He hold Mandy's hand, she looks at him. Stay with me...
I can't, I promise Noor to come back. Lauren let go of her hand, he grabbed his bedspread to cover himself.
I will just returned in the evening. Lauren didn't say anymore words, Mandy turn around and left, he closed his eyes, what madness has he gotten himself into.
As each day passes he long for a woman whose heart belongs to another, instead of the love to go cold, it's getting stronger everyday.
Noor is sleeping peacefully at the bed, though his face is not all bright, it was better than before, she could see little trace of the Noor, she fall hopelessly in love with years back.
Why is he...
He is fine, he took his medication, if he continues like this, he will get better, thanks.
Doctor Joel said, Mandy smiled at him and move her gaze to Noor, her smile increase.
Who are you to him? Doctor Joel asked, she looks at him, what is she going to say? She was never expecting that doctors Joel will asked her. It's fine, if you don't want to...
We were both in love with each other, so much in love and we never dream of separating, he is the reason I want to wake up everyday, the one person, I can't stop loving, he is very nice, he is everything, a girl could dream of as a husband, when he is not around, I feel empty, then one day, my dad force me into marriage to someone, I don't love, so we had to part ways, I try to make him understand that the marriage was a contract but he get mad and throw me out, when we meet again, he was a complete different man, he hurts me, he almost had me killed, I know something was wrong, but I just can't pinpoint it.
Telling the story to doctor Joel, her heartbeat had increased, she felt her heart was about to jump from her mouth, the doctor could see her pain, she is hurt and her love for Noor was genuine but he doesn't think that, Mandy concerned is that of love but pity and guilt.
Hey stop crying, I wouldn't want the young man to wake up and feel that I was hurting you.
Mandy laughed then wipe her tears, doctor Joel tap her shoulder.
Everything will be fine. He had other patients to attend to, so he leave Mandy to wait for Noor to wake up, she can't leave without Noor opening his eyes, though she promised Lauren she will return in the evening, she wasn't able to.
Lauren is sitting on the dinning waiting for her to return, he wants to eat with her but she didn't show up, he was thinking that Mandy will keep to her promise but no, she is nowhere to be found, Lauren wasn't worry because he knows where she is but he is sad, when it's 8pm, he place a call to her but she busy it, Lauren stand from the dinning without touching the food.
Sir...
Trash it. He said and leave the dinning, Mandy didn't come home, the next morning, he left for the office, he didn't bothered to call Mandy, Mandy didn't return any of his call.
She didn't see it because Noor was the one who busy the call and place her phone on do not disturb, she had drop the phone close to his bed side to go into the washroom, then he pretend to sleep through the night.
You are awake. She said as the two eyes meet, he was watching Mandy through her sleep, he nodded. Doctor said, you are getting better, if you continue with your treatment, you will be perfect and get out of this pit hole.
Noor smile, she caress his face, giving him, a lovely smile. You will be fine.
I have done everything you need through the day, I am leaving, you should rest. Mandy keeps talking, Noor takes her hand again.
Please stay, you can leave in the evening, I am not going to asked you to spend the night here again. Mandy nodded to him.
If I stay through the day, I could go to Lauren.
Noor face get more darken, he had forgotten that Lauren is still in the picture, he just nodded, he knows he had lost the love of his life but it's fine, so he nodded to her but he had other plans, he is going to make Mandy sleep here, he doesn't care how he do it but he should think of something.
Mandy is more determine to go home, that evening, she just can't say no to Noor but she really wants to go home, it's evening already, Noor doesn't want her to leave, he asked her to do alot of things for him, at about 10pm, she was finally done and Noor drugs doze him off, he wasn't expecting her to go but she did leave.
Lauren is back at the mansion, he is waiting patiently for Mandy, his anger is not one thing, he could bottle, his face is not on the bright side when he arrives home but it becomes darker as Mandy stay out there for long
At 11: 40pm, she finally arrived, it's late, so she takes few steps inside the building, only to see the TV is on, it was Entertainment news, so Many news are going on but Lauren's heart is not in it.
Mandy walked slowly to get the remote not knowing Lauren is there, as soon as Mandy hand touch the remote he pulled her hand, she jerk in fear.
Lauren! You startled me.
What time is it? Do you realize how late it is? Where thy fuck have you been since yesterday? Yes, this is the real Lauren, the first voices wasn't his but the last.
