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‘.
I
Immediately I woke up, I had a quick replay of the last time I 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.
Lucas‘ 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 came out 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 helped me sit 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 on me as if he would detect whatever was wrong with me by 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?”

He answered, smoothing my hair to the back, “The doctor said you fainted because of extreme stress 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 alerted me but 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 time it 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 come you 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 time I was through. “How could he treat you like that?” I had half expected him to blame me fir not calling out for help or for letting me touch him but all of his anger was directed at Mark.
“We should go to the police,” he finished his speech and snatched his phone from my bedside table.
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 become a politician’s son–in–law.
