I Hope You Will Never Regret

Jordan didn’t sleep a wink, he was tossing and turning. What would happen to his company should he lose Avery? Who was going to finish the airport since he didn’t have enough workforce? What if she told her father to call back the Martins Group Construction workers? He started panicking.

At the Bennet Group, Henry Gibbs was giving President Bennet feedback regarding the progress on the Construction site, but he didn’t hear a word. He was absent-minded thinking about ways of winning back Avery.

At 12 pm, he took his car keys and drove to the university to coax his girlfriend. When he was parking his car, he saw Avery getting in the car of an old man. He was fuming with anger; Avery was avoiding him because she was having an affair with an old man.

He wanted to rush to them and pull Avery out of the car, but he restrained himself. He decided to follow their car. Dr Lambert looked in his rearview mirror and said, “Avery, there is a red Mercedes-Benz following us. Do you know this car?”

Avery looked at the car that was following them and replied, “It’s my boyfriend’s car. Let him be, Uncle Lambert.” Dr Lambert was having brain surgery, and he took Avery with him.

In the Taylor Private Hospital parking lot, Dr Lambert parked his car, and then he got out of the car. When Avery got out of the car, she found Jordan staring at her. Avery looked at him. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and then she started walking towards the hospital.

Jordan was fuming with anger; he rushed to her and said, “Avery Martins, you’ve blocked my number because you are having an affair with someone older than your father. You are such a disgrace.” Then he turned around and left.

Dr Lambert looked at the young man and shook his head. He looked at Avery and said, “Avery, this young man doesn’t deserve you. You have to think carefully about your relationship with this young man. He might hurt you because he is full of anger.”

Avery was shocked about Jordan’s outburst. She was so embarrassed she felt humiliated. She nodded her head, and they continued walking towards the hospital.

She prayed a silent prayer asking the Lord to remove Jordan from her heart. It was her daily prayer, but heaven was silent.

Jordan drove to the Construction site. He wanted to vent. In the parking lot, he overheard Director Evans talking on the phone. He was laughing out loud, telling someone that he was proud of Avery for shadowing the best Neurosurgeon in the country.

Jordan froze when he heard that. He walked slowly towards Director Evans. When Director Evans saw President Bennet, he hung up the phone. He smiled brightly at him and said, “What a pleasant surprise, President Bennet.”

President Bennet smiled and replied, “Avery told me that she would shadow some doctor, but I didn’t catch his name. Who is it, Director Evans?”

Director Evans laughed out loud and replied, “She is shadowing Dr Lambert from Taylor Private Hospital. He is a Professor at KZN University. After the lecture, Dr Lambert took Avery to the hospital to shadow him during the brain surgery. I am so proud of her.”

President Bennet was so shocked to hear that the old man who was with Avery was Dr Lambert, not her sugar daddy. He felt ashamed of himself. Avery would never forgive him for embarrassing her in front of Dr Lambert. Why did he jump to conclusions?

He smiled at Director Evans and said, “I forgot something, I will come and visit you another time.” Then he rushed to his car and drove back to the hospital. He waited the whole night in the parking lot, but he didn’t see Avery.

At the Taylor Private Hospital, there were rooms prepared for the doctors. After the surgery, Dr Lambert took Avery to one of the rooms to rest. She was so tired she took a long bath and went to sleep.

The following day, around 6 am, Jordan drove his car home to prepare for work. His mother was surprised when she saw him, but she didn’t utter a word. Jordan walked to his bedroom and decided to take a nap. He set an alarm for an hour.

He was in a deep slumber. He didn’t hear the alarm. He woke up at 10 am, he then called his Executive Secretary, Henry Gibbs, and told him that he would be late. He took a quick shower and went to his closet to pick an outfit for the day.

A few minutes later, he walked to his mother and told her that he was leaving. His mother gave him a lunch box and said, “Son, don’t start your day on an empty stomach.” He thanked his mother, and he left.

Avery decided not to attend classes. She took a bath and dressed. Then she called Uncle Clayton to fetch her from the hospital. She went to the ICU to check on their patient. Dr Lambert was with the patient, and he was awake.

Dr Lambert’s eyes lit up when he saw Avery and said, “Good morning, Avery. Did you sleep well?” Avery smiled brightly and replied, “Good morning, Uncle Lambert, I slept well. Thank you. How is our patient?”

Dr Lambert told Avery that the patient was recovering well. Then Avery bade him goodbye and went to the parking lot to wait for Uncle Clayton. A few minutes later, Uncle Clayton arrived.

Avery smiled brightly and said, “Good morning, Uncle Clayton. Are you well? How is Aunt Hope?” Uncle Clayton smiled and replied, “Good morning, Avery. We are well. Thank you.

We found out yesterday that your aunt is two months pregnant. I am so happy that I am going to be a father. Your grandmother was over the moon.”

Avery smiled and said, “Congratulations, Uncle Clayton. I am so happy for you.” Uncle Clayton was grinning from ear to ear. Then he took her to the Martins Group.

Her father was over the moon when he saw his lovely daughter. He kissed her on both cheeks and said, “Daddy, missed you so much my baby daughter.”

Avery smiled brightly and replied, “I missed you too, Daddy. I will spend the whole day with you today.” Her father looked at her and asked, “How is your relationship between you and Jordan?”

Avery’s eyes brimmed with tears and replied, “I don’t think he loved me, Daddy. I am praying day and night, asking the Lord to remove him from my heart to no avail. I don’t want to be his girlfriend anymore, but I love him deeply.

Yesterday, he embarrassed me in front of Dr Lambert. He accused me of having an affair with him. He didn’t even give me a chance to explain, Daddy. He hurt me deeply with his words. He is no longer the man I fell in love with. Money has shown his true colours.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Her father was so sad and said, “I will stand in the gap and ask the Lord to remove this boy from your heart. Do you know that he hired only two hundred employees from six thousand recommended candidates?”

Avery was dumbfounded and replied, “He would be forced to hire more employees after you call back the Martins Group employees.”
