The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Tell Me What Do You See?

Lucy didn’t know how many times she frequently went back to having consciousness and letting the darkness take her. And when she finally had the will to wake up, Vanessa was no longer beside her.

While awake, she tried to gather her thoughts despite the fog in her mind.

But every time she closed her eyes, the thought of what could have been if her babies were still alive haunted her, and it never fails to break her heart into shards.

Life was never easy for her. When Lucy was ten, her father abandoned them and never returned, leaving her and her mother to fend for themselves. Her mother, who was just in her middle twenties, and could have started a new life without her daughter, stayed behind. The two of them worked hand in hand to fight against the odds of living longer in this world.

Sadly, her mother was never destined for a long life.

Lucy’s mother died and left her alone. Lucy then started to live, albeit within a glass mask that she willingly accepted at a price. Too bad she couldn’t escape the curse that had been passed down their family’s history, and she, too, had cancer.

But a blessing in disguise appeared.

Or so, Lucy thought her babies were.

They were her miracle. Her hope. Her reason.

They were her everything.

Who would have thought two beings were growing inside her the day she divorced the man she loved?

Yet, as if the world were pulling a joke on her, they also took them from her.

So, can somebody tell her... Was her life still worth living?

"Her condition isn’t completely stable yet. Right now, we can only hope she’ll receive counseling first before being released from the hospital."

"Will that work, doctor?"

As she sat in a daze, the two voices gradually became louder as they approached Lucy’s ward.

"Honestly, everything is in Miss Grey’s hands. You should try convincing her to get counseling."

Vanessa thanked the doctor and stood outside the door for a minute. She contemplated what the doctor had just said and thought of telling Lucy about it.

On the day Lucy was hospitalized, Vanessa had just landed in the city. She wanted to surprise her friend with her arrival. The two hadn’t seen each other for five months, and she missed Lucy so much that she didn’t tell her about her plans of coming to Auromont.

However, Vanessa didn’t expect to receive a call that Lucy would be at the hospital and in critical condition.

But what made her heart sink was she had to find out about Lucy’s pregnancy when the doctors had already started their operation!

She was mad that Lucy hid it from her. But she was even more frustrated at herself for not being beside her best friend.

Now, she had to watch Lucy come apart from her real self.

Pushing the door open, Vanessa didn’t expect her to be awake already. Did Lucy hear what she and the doctor were talking about?

"How are you feeling?" Vanessa started.

When Lucy didn’t respond, she didn’t mind it one bit.

"You’ve been asleep for two days. I bet you’re hungry!" Vanessa clapped her hands and added, "Why don’t we order something you like?"

"I’m not hungry," Lucy bleakly answered.

Vanessa didn’t give up. "Well, I am! And I’m going to get fried chicken and pizza. The weather is great, so I think we can go and eat outside!"

She took out her phone and started typing. Meanwhile, Lucy stared at her as if she were going crazy.
