Sparks of relationship
Back in the hospital where Lucas was admitted without anyone’s knowledge. Grandpa Lancaster had already instructed the staff to keep it a secret otherwise a havoc could occur. After all, he was not someone without enemies or haters and it was still unclear who found out about his whereabouts to cause that accident.
“Ugh! My head.”
Lucas opened his eyes while holding his head between both hands, surrounded by the tubes and head wrapped in the bandages. The first thing which crossed his mind was Nathalie’s smile and her voice resonated in his head.
He snapped open his eyes as the hospital lights welcomed his senses back, when a male voice brought him to hear attentively.
“Lucas! How can you be so careless?”
The young man shifted his gaze towards the source and saw his own father standing by his side.
Whereas the old Lancaster had been sitting by his side in front of the bed. He had a serious expression on his face just like Lucas’ own father. Of course, how could he not come when his son was in the hospital.
“Dad, it was just a small accident. And I’m still alive, right?”
Lucas tried to reason out after hearing his father’s concerned voice. The businessman had flown all the way to visit his son after getting the news.
“Shut up! That’s all you have to say to me, huh?”
Mr Petrakis shouted at him although a tear sneaked out of his eye, while Lucas grabbed his hand and tapped on it.
His head was covered in bandages and a few bruises were on his arm and right leg, but the guy was worried about only two people.
“Dad, is my driver alright?”
Lucas generally was a kind hearted man and felt the pain of others unlike certain people, that’s why he was given the throne of Petrakis business!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“Yes honey, he is fine. He has a few bruises and is currently with his wife in the next room.”
Mr Petrakis told him while raked through his hair, informing him that Mrs Petrakis misses Lucas a lot. Lucas sighed with relief knowing that his pal was fine, now the other person was remaining to be asked about.
He lifted his neck and questioned grandpa Lancaster who sat on the sofa holding the walking stick.
“Does Nathalie know about this, grandpa?”
The old shook his head and approached Lucas, who still had only one person in his mind to worry about rather than his own health.
“She doesn’t but if you still insist on going home with me, she will know it immediately.”
Grandpa Lancaster warned him to go back with his father, since the enemies had tracked his whereabouts now it wasn’t safe for him to stay with them.
“No!”
Lucas tried to get up to sit in the bed while his father was proud of him for being competent and loyal enough to his woman. At least he was committed to one lady and she was his whole life now. Lucas’s parents supported him in the plan of disguise since that was their son wanted.
“I have promised today’s dinner to her, I will go back home.”
Lucas filled them in with his wish and the two older men couldn’t do anything to stop or even to change his mind. They knew how stubborn he was and there was only one person who could change his mind-Nathalie Lancaster!
-.-.-.-.-.-
Later that day when the sun faded after the last ray, Nathalie returned home and was welcomed by the butler on the gateway. She was eager to see what Lucas had planned for them, thus out of curiosity she questioned the butler who got stunned at the statement.
No wonder everyone in the villa knew that Miss Nathalie had never treated Lucas as her husband. Thus the inquiry gave him mixed feelings of happiness and shock.
Everyone loved her in the villa, except her own blood relatives!
“Where is Lucas?”
The butler shook his head while replying in a worrisome tone because he had never seen Lucas staying away from home for that long.
“I have no idea, young miss. He has been away since morning and his phone is switched off too.”
Nathalie blankly nodded and walked towards her room.
‘Where did he go?’
She thought and every possible assumption which crossed her mind was mixed.
‘Is he doing this deliberately to make me feel inferior to him?’
The lady threw her handbag on the bed and slumped her tired body on the bed with grief in her hazel eyes.
Her tummy growled with hunger making her realise that Lucas was supposed to cook for her, that’s why she didn’t even have lunch in the Corp.
“Fuck! Should I wait for him or eat by myself?”
Nathalie was having trouble deciding since she was starving but wanted to wait for him too.
She rattled out her phone and dialed his number which was switched off as the butler said.
“Fuck it! I will just eat, he should be responsible if he wants me to love him. Duh!”
Nathalie strode towards the restroom to change into something comfy.
She still refused to believe that Lucas had ditched her on the day when things were getting good between them. That’s why she called him one last time before going downstairs, the lady tossed the phone on the bed with anger visible on her face.
It wasn’t her fault or even Lucas’ that destiny had been playing tricks on both of them, that whenever they wish to do something good or even when their relationship would elevate a little something bad happens to ruin it.
Nathalie glided down the staircase and was about to turn towards the kitchen to request the chef to cook her something easy and immediate, when she heard the main door unlocking which made her halt in the place.
Lucas was being supported by two men of grandpa Lancaster, seeing him injured Nathalie felt a sharp pain in her chest which might have sparked some emotions of attachment.
