Chapter 94_ Shock
Bryan ruffled his hand through his hair as he paced around outside Lora’s ward, he closed his eyes briefly as he listened to Lora’s mum’s sobs.
“Bryan!”
Bryan turned to the direction of the voice to meet his dad’s murderous gaze..
“What did you do to her?!”
“It was an accident okay?….
The door pushed open alerting them, Bryan walked hurriedly to the doctor disregarding his dad’s question..
“Doctor.. how is she?”
The doctor took a deep breath and pulled off his nose mask..
“I’m sorry Mr Anderson.. we tried our very best to save the baby.. but we lost it”
Alice’s wails further intensified, she shrugged Cynthia’s hold on her and marched straight to Bryan and before anyone could tell what she was up to..
A slap fell on Bryan’s cheek sending his face to the other side..
“You must have done something to her! if you didn’t want the baby.. you could have just left her alone!”
Charles casted Bryan a cold glance, all his hard work of trying to fix this alliance between the two families has been ruined again for the second time!
“You selfish brat! do you have any idea of what you’ve done?!”
The doctor cleared his throat once more, which obviously meant that he wasn’t done yet..
“And I’m also sorry to say that.. she won’t be able to conceive a child again”
Everywhere fell quiet as they all tried to digest the new information they just got..

Arnold checked his wrist watch for the umpteenth time in a row as he glanced up at the stairs..
“Why isn’t she down yet?”
Sam smiled nervously as he looked around the small living room, it’s been almost twenty minutes and Chloe wasn’t down yet..
Arnold took a sip out of his mug as he stared at Sam, he didn’t seem to be arrogant or demanding like that Anderson’s heir..
He seemed just like the guy who would give his full attention to the girl he likes..
“So how long have you and my sister been seeing each other?”
Sam cleared his throat with a small smile, he looked towards Arnold who was peering at him intently..
“For two years as soon as Arya’s delight was opened, we met there”
Arnold’s lips formed an ‘o’ shape, he nodded his head and raised his mug to his lips concealing his growing smirk..
“She never told me..”
Sam’s brows furrowed confusedly until it suddenly dropped, he was just about to clarify his words when Chloe bolted down the stairs..
“Big bro.. I’m starving.. what are we having for breakfast?”
Chloe yawned stretching her body, her half closed eyes suddenly snapped open the moment her hazy gaze fell on Sam who arched a brow..
“Sam?”
She looked back and forth between the two, did Arnold really let Sam into their apartment? without breaking at least a few bones???
“Chloe, don’t tell me you’re just waking up”
Chloe smiled sheepishly at her brother and sent an apologetic look to Sam..
“Isn’t it Sunday?”
“It’s still Thursday Chloe! you do this every time.. hurry up I really don’t want to get on Arya’s bad side”
Chloe nodded and dashed up the stairs the same way she came..

Charlotte paced around Kyle’s room in worry, her gaze landed briefly on the man who was still asleep on the bed..
“Did he really find out everything about me? what is he recalls his past?”
The door pushed open startling her out of her thoughts, she didn’t need anyone to tell her who that audacious person could be..
She turned around to meet a set of blue mocking orbs..
“Why are you still here? don’t you have things to pack? or I can give you a hand to do so”
Charlotte pulled her gaze off Arya, she honestly wasn’t in the mood to answer any question or argue..
“Oh.. let me guess, you’re suddenly scared of what might happen to you if Kyle wakes up” Arya added with a chuckle..
“What do you want Naomi? haven’t you done enough?! if it’s money you want! then I’m ready to give it all to you! but please leave my life alone!”
Arya chuckled and casually took a seat at the edge of the bed, money?
“You want to give me what I already own?”
Charlotte’s brows creased trying to decipher what Arya really meant..
“Don’t stress your empty and dull brain, the only thing you need to do now.. is to get the hell out of here!”
Kyle stirred on the bed diverting their attention, Arya was the first to move closer to him, she noticed the discomfort on his face and panicked..
“Kyle are you alright?”
His eyes snapped open with a gasp escaping his lips..
Arya guided him to sit up while his back rested against the bed’s headboard..
“Did I pass out?”
He asked to receive a nod from Arya, he tried to recall what must have prompted that only to groan out in pain..
“Yes you did..”
Charlotte took steps back slowly, as their attention wasn’t diverted on her, Kyle was awake now and that means he’d ask her a tone of questions..
She turned around ready to bolt out of the room when a chilly voice broke the silence in the room..
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Charlotte’s face paled, she halted her movement while her heart beat increased drastically, she slowly turned to him with a forced smile..
“Umm… I… was.. well-
Arya’s lips curled up into a smirk “Yes ma’am.. where are you going? boss just woke up, aren’t you happy about that?”
Charlotte’s nails dug into her arm, this damned lady was obviously trying to create more sparks and flames in Kyle’s mind..NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Kyle took a step out of the bed and walked to Charlotte glaring down at her..
“Kyle I can explain….
Kyle sighed “You say this every single time, when are you finally going to teach me how to use the sword?”
Arya’s brows furrowed in confusion, she could tell the same for Charlotte too because the latter’s eyes were rounded in shock..
“What?… Charlotte asked in confusion, wasn’t he supposed to lash out at her or probably kick her out of his house?
Kyle held her shoulder with a small pout,”I’m free today, come on let’s go practice”
Charlotte arched a brow, does this mean that he completely forgot what happened an hour or two ago?
“Of… course.. I’ll totally teach you how to use the sword –
A gasp escaped her lips the moment he pulled her into his arms..
Arya was left speechless, she walked to them and was about to speak when Kyle spoke..
“Go, get ready.. I’ll meet you at the courtyard in five minutes”
Charlotte’s frown was replaced with a smile, she heaved a sigh of relief..
“Yeah.. see you down soon”
Arya stared at the closed door in shock and suddenly snapped her gaze to Kyle, did this dummy really forgot what happened a while ago?
She turned around ready to stomp away in anger when his voice reached her ears..
“Leaving so soon?”
Arya turned back to him to see the teasing smile on his lips..
“You really didn’t recall what happened to you a while ago? don’t you know why you passed out.. you know what? forget it!” She muttered irritably and left the room..
Kyle glanced at the door, he smirked meaningfully, and walked back to the table where his phone was laying on..
He went through it for a while before placing it back down on the table..
***
Alice was the first to come out of the shock, her palm covered her mouth in shock, her daughter won’t be able to conceive again!
“What?” Bryan breathlessly whispered..
Vanessa walked to them hurriedly, she came here as fast as she could when she heard the situation at hand..
“Hi.. where is Lora? is she alright?”
“You can all go and see her.. one after the other, she’s still in total shock” The doctor announced once more and left..
Bryan took a step forward to go into the ward but was stopped by Alice..
“Don’t even think about it!”
Cynthia walked and stood next to her son in a protective stance..
“We are deeply sorry for what happened to your daughter, but that doesn’t give you the right to treat my son the way you like after all the child that was lost.. was his also! so stop acting like you’re the only one who is hurt and shattered by the news!”
