I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

JENNY’S POV.

“Thank you.” The secretary at the front desk thanked me as I handed her the documents I had been sent to give her after waiting for about thirty minutes.

I gave her a tight-lipped smile then rolled my eyes walking away. Walking back to the elevator, I watched the staff who were busy with their eyes glued to their computer in front of them while some others were busy discussing amongst each other, even talking and glancing at me. I just hissed, reverting my attention back to my phone.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I groaned in annoyance when the driver had informed me that he was stuck in traffic across town and Rachel had sent him on an errand. I knew for sure he was just making excuses because all of a sudden the employees at the mansion who adored me in the past scorned me. I sigh debating within myself if I should call Nathaniel or not.

After the occasion at the hospital where he literally suggested sending me off to another country, the doctor and I invited him over at the hospital two days after we had gotten our stories and information right.

FLASHBACKS.

“Good morning Mr King.” The doctor greeted rising to his feet as Nathaniel entered into the office looking as handsome as ever in an all black outfit, his suit black and shirt black as well with his hair slicked backwards.

My man was literally a Greek god!

I stood up slowly as well, drowsy from the medicine I had requested the doctor inject into me though he was quite hesitant due to the fact that nothing was wrong with me.

“Hey Nathaniel.” I spoke slowly and my movement was quite sluggish. After the nightmare I had last night, where I had dreamt of Nathaniel and Lydia getting married, I had woken up and cried my eyes out so now my eyes and whole face was red with my eyes swollen.

“How are you feeling?” He asked caringly and I shrugged taking a seat while he sat on the chair next to me. This was my last shot in proving to him that I was indeed ill and needed his presence and needed to be in the country to attain good health.

“What’s going on with the hospital abroad? You can tell she’s not doing well and this hospital isn’t doing anything to help her.”

Nathaniel was now vexed and clearly irritated. That warmed my heart, it confirmed me thought that if indeed Lydia was out of the picture, he would be more attention to me and I would be the next Mrs King bearing all our beautiful babies maybe three triplets, 2 boys and a girl, the boys looking like their handsome daddy and a little girl as beautiful as I was with full long thick black hair.

“I understand why you, sir, might feel that way but truly Miss Jennifer’s condition is quite serious and our hospital is rated the best in treating this ailment. Additionally, with the presence of her family and friends we strongly believe she will be healed completely.” The doctor spoke articulately which I was certain would change Nathaniel’s mind. Furthermore, the doctor also handed to him a document which contained statistics of the people who have more cured and measures to be taken.

Nathaniel scrolled through it after checking the time on his wrist for the second time in minutes. He seemed like he didn’t want to be here but I believed he just had a meeting to be at.

“Thank you, Doctor. ” He rose to his feet, making the doctor and I look at him confused.

“My assistant will get back to you.” I blinked repeatedly fighting how weak I was feeling, I wanted to speak to Nathaniel as much as I wanted to just faint or cause a dramatic scene to scare him.

The two shook hands and Nathaniel spared me no glance before bolting out of the office. I followed behind him trying to match his pace but he was walking in a haste and the guards behind him were about to block my way.

“Nathaniel!” I gathered the small energy left in mw to shout out his name. He and the guards behind him turned around, he sighed walking towards me.

“What again Jennifer?” He asked standing in front of me with a look that meant business.

“You…you didn’t even look my way nor say a word to me. Did I.. did I do something wrong?” I stammered out, tears forming in my eyes and I could barely stand up straight.

“You make a decision Jenny. You’re a grown woman, I shouldn’t be making decisions for you but what I won’t tolerate is being lied to by that doctor, those statistics are false and this hospital is no way the best in treating this ailment. I don’t know if you have something to do with him lying or–”

“Of course not. I had no idea he was lying of something as serious as that as it pertains to my health.” I quickly cut him off and he nodded, obviously believing my words and seeing the fake sincerity on my face.

“Being abroad will just be the best. That doctor is quack and most definitely a fake and I will have him arrested.” He assured me and I was already beginning to fear for myself.

What if they arrest the doctor and he confesses about my involvement in everything from day one?

“You don’t need to do that. He treated me well the first time, maybe this second time around it is something different. I will request for a few more tests and let you know about it.” He stared at me intently with an unreadable expression on his face. A few seconds later, he nodded slowly, “Take care of yourself.”

I hummed in response, watching vaguely as he left. The second he left the hallway all together, I passed out with a thought on my mind,

Having my sickness back will not help matters at all, so I need to think of a different strategy in order to get Nathaniel attention.

End of FLASHBACK.

A day after I got discharged and returned back to the mansion, a new doctor had informed Nathaniel it was just due to stress and cold. I was feeling like that and with a full vitamins I would be alright. Days later, I resumed back to work and thanked Nathaniel for looking out for me, he simply waved me off. Ignoring my seductive passes, I refused to let him be tired of me so I was no longer disturbing him and awaited his calling but nothing came through.

As I arrived at the ground floor, I laughed deeply to myself like a villain in movies when they had finally arrived at a plan. But I was for sure not a villain, I was just a girl who was in love and ready to do anything for my man.
