“I hope he’ll be fine,” Grace said sombrely.
“I do too,” I murmured back.
Grace sighed and then there was a pause. “I don’t think anyone here has heard. Preparations are still in full swing. Should I inform them?
“I don’t know, Grace. Do whatever feels right,” I told her weakly, uninterested.
She sighed again. “I don’t know if I should feel sad for our major sponsor or to gloat over Sandra’s misfortune of losing her fiancé.”
Sydney said, “Let’s just pray for our major sponsor, after all, his money is very important to us.” But it wasn’t just his money for me. If it was just his money, my heart wouldn’t be hurting so much.
Grace solemnly echoed, “Yeah, I’ll take care of the company’s affairs, stay with him if you have to. If anything happens, just call me.”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
I was about to end the call when she called my name. “Sydney?”
“Yes?” I answered in a small voice.
“Stay strong for him,” she said. A tear rolled down my face and my throat felt clogged. I furiously wiped it and nodded.

I leaned against the wall of the ambulance and looked outside the mirror of the window as the car moved in a steady pace to the hospital.
At the hospital, they were all rushed out and each of them was admitted to their own ward. The assistant was placed in a normal ward since his injuries weren’t severe, the driver was admitted to an emergency room while Mark was immediately rushed into an operating room.

It’s been an hour now and the news of his accident, as expected, had spread. Short clips of his car wreckage and of him being rushed into an ambulance had gone viral yet no one had rushed over and showed up to see how he was doing. Not his fiancée, Sandra or even his mother talkless of his extended relatives.
For a moment, I stared at the door to the operating room in frustration. I shook my head and looked away. “What am I even doing here?” I muttered bitterly under my breath. For crying out loud, I am his ex wife, not his wife or mother so why does my heart hurt at the mere thought that he was in pain?
I walked to the wall facing the door and leaned against it. I could leave now. I could force myself to leave but I would not be fulfilling the promise I made to Doris, I would be betraying the solid trust she had in me. After a long while, my eyes fixated on the door to the operating room, it finally opened. The doctes
