Lisa's POV:
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing loudly. Groaning, I rolled to the other side of my bed, my hand falling to the side as I tried picking up my phone from the desk. Another groan left my lips out of anger.
I was never a morning person, even though I am a nurse; it's always hard to wake up early. As I grumbled my way out of bed, I noticed the bright sun shining through my curtains, signaling that it was already late morning. I looked at the time on my phone and realized I had slept through my alarm and was now running late for my flight. Great start to the day.
Shaking my head, I walked toward my bathroom to get ready. Making sure to shave and clean my hair, I looked at myself in the mirror. "You can do this, Lisa; it's just one patient," I whispered to myself. "Yeah, you can do this," I said, giving myself a pat on the shoulders.
With that, I walked out of my bathroom, heading toward my closet. I looked around before grabbing my hoodie and grey joggers. "Thank God I packed up my things yesterday."
I quickly dressed, trying to maintain a sense of composure despite the chaotic start. As I grabbed my packed bag, I mentally ran through the checklist to ensure I didn't forget any essential items.
Rushing downstairs, I grabbed a granola bar for a makeshift breakfast and headed out the door. The urgency of catching my flight fueled my movements as I hailed a cab. During the ride, I couldn't help but replay the day's shaky beginning in my mind.
Arriving at the airport, I navigated through security and made a sprint for the boarding gate. Somehow, I managed to make it just in time, breathless but relieved. As I settled into my seat on the plane, I couldn't shake the feeling that the day had already thrown its fair share of challenges my way.
Little did I know, this unexpected start was just the beginning of an unpredictable journey ahead.
During the flight, I took a deep breath and tried to shake off the morning's turbulence. As the plane ascended, my thoughts turned to the upcoming nursing assignment. I flipped through my notes and mentally rehearsed the details of my new patient's case.
Upon landing, I navigated the bustling airport and hailed another cab to take me to the house. The city's vibrant energy clashed with my fatigue, but I couldn't afford to let it slow me down.
The drive to the house was long, and I was getting hungry. When we arrived, I paid for the ride before grabbing my things. My mouth dropped open at the sight of the house. No mansion, it's a freaking mansion. I looked back at the address my boss gave to me. I questioned myself if I was ready to go in.
"There's no turning back now," I said softly before grabbing my bags from the ground. The imposing mansion loomed before me, and I took a deep breath, steeling myself for whatever awaited inside. As I approached the grand entrance, the uncertainty of the upcoming encounter mixed with a sense of anticipation.
My finger rose to the gate, ready to knock, when I heard a voice say, "Welcome Miss Lisa, thank you for coming here today; you may now enter." The gate opened slowly on its own. "Wow," I whispered as I walked slowly into the mansion. It looked like a mansion described in a book. Everything screamed royalty.
"Now I see why my boss said this man is a private man," I whispered before stopping at the door entrance. The opulence of the surroundings left me momentarily awestruck. Taking a deep breath, I approached the door, uncertain of the challenges that awaited me within the luxurious confines of the mysterious mansion. Little did I know, this encounter would not only test my nursing abilities but also unravel a tale of intrigue and complexity.
"Welcome Lisa, it's so nice having you here." Lisa heard someone say.
Turning around she saw a woman her age walking down the stairs.
A smile on her lips.
"My name is Evelyn, Ace's sister." The lady said with a soft smile.
"Nice to meet you," I said, having no idea what to say again.
A giggle left Evelyn's lips as she noticed the confusion on Lisa's face.
"Come on, I'll show you your room, tomorrow you can see my brother," Evelyn said.
Nodding my head, I picked up my bags and followed her slowly.
My eyes still looking around the room.
Everything looked so beautiful and unique.
The house felt warm and welcoming as Lisa followed Evelyn to her room. The anticipation of meeting Ace added a hint of excitement to the air.
Evelyn led Lisa through a hallway adorned with family photos and cozy decorations.
As they reached the room, Evelyn opened the door, revealing a comfortable space with soft colors and a view of the garden. "I hope you find it cozy. Make yourself at home," Evelyn said with a friendly grin.
I thanked her, feeling a sense of gratitude for the warm reception. As I unpacked, I looked around the room carefully.
A smile on my lips.
Maybe this won't be bad after all, maybe things will go well.
I thought, having hope about what would happen next.
After unpacking, I walked toward my new bathroom.
Everything looked so nice and beautiful.
After looking around, I walked out to my bedroom.
A sigh left my lips before looking up at the clock.
It was still early and I was really hungry.
I looked at the door, thinking if it was alright for me to walk downstairs.
After some thinking, I walked toward my door and then turned the handle slowly.
When that was done, I looked at the large hallway, wondering where to move next.
Without thinking, I walked toward the left side of the Hall.
Keeping my ears down, I tried to pick up any sound.
The mansion was so quiet like I was the only one here.
After walking for what felt like hours.
I was a door, it was open slightly
Intrigued, I approached the slightly open door, curiosity getting the better of me. Slowly pushing it open, I found a man on a bed, the hospital machine beeping slowly.
His chest rose up and down slowly.
"I see you found Ace." I heard a voice say behind me, making me squeal.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to move around like this, I got hungry and was looking for you, I didn't mean to come here," I said quietly looking at the ground.
Evelyn laughed quietly before shaking her head.
"It's all good love, now let's go meet my brother, yes?" She said walking into the room.
I nodded my head before following her closely.
Lisa POV:"So like I said, this is my brother Ace," Evelyn said looking at her brother."How long has he been in a coma?" I asked softly."2 weeks now." She said looking at him and then at me."Have any doctors given anything to him?" I asked again.His body looked completely fine, so why the long coma?"Yes, I don't know their names," Evelyn said with a chuckle, then passed the bottles to me."Uhm what kind of accident did he have?" I found myself asking, looking down at my patient."It was a car accident," Evelyn said, her voice growing quiet. "He was driving when another car ran a red light and hit his car." She paused, clearly struggling to speak about the details. "The doctors say he may never wake up, but I just know he will. My brother is a fighter. I have to believe that." I could hear the emotion in her voice, and I felt a wave of compassion for her. I knew how hard it must be for her to see her brother like this.I placed my hand on her shoulder, hoping to provide some comf
Lisa POV:I woke up to a maid screaming then people's footsteps rushing around.My eyebrows frown slightly before shaking my head.Rolling off my bed, I walked toward my door.I looked around the hall, wondering what was happening.Then I slowly walked towards Ace's room.There I saw Evelyn standing and some maids."How are you awake?" She whispered looking at her brother.My eyebrows frown slightly, isn't she happy that her brother is awake?"Uhm Evenly," I said quietly walking into the room.Everyone snapped their head toward me.Making me feel small."Yes, uhm everyone out, please," Evelyn said softly before looking back at her brother."Ace, this is Nurse Lisa, she's the one taking care of you." She said softly her eyes not leaving her brother.It's like she couldn't believe he was alive.Didn't she want him alive?"Hello," I said quietly looking up.Green eyes stared back at me, watching me like I was in a movie.The room was dead quiet, Ace didn't say anything to me."Out." He s
Lisa POV:When I got downstairs to the kitchen.I looked around hoping to see Evelyn but had no idea where to look.Shaking my head, I walked toward the first maid, I saw before tapping her shoulders."Hey, uhm Ace asked for breakfast," I said softly."I'll have that fix up, did he ask for anything in particular?" She asked while I shook my head before sitting on the chair."Where is Evelyn please?" I asked while looking."Upstairs in her room." She mumbled smiling at me.I gave her a smile in return before walking toward the stairs."Oh, and Nurse Lisa, thank you, for helping Ace." She whispered.I looked back at her, shocked at her words."Just doing my job," I said quietly walking away.The smile never left my lips.When I arrived, I saw a door open slightly.Walking closer to it, I tried listening for a sound.Then I heard someone whispering."I'm telling you, I give him that same injection, I have no idea how his awake." The person whispered.My eyes wide out when I recognize th
Lisa POV:It took a few weeks, Ace hasn't said anything to me yet.For some reason, he started acting rude and nonchalant.But again I said nothing and just continued ignoring him.It's not my job to be friends with him anyway.Just to treat him and make sure he is fine then walk away like nothing ever happened, yeah I could do that."Miss Lisa, Sir Ace is looking for you." One of the maids mumbled looking at me.Titling my head to the side, I stare at her before shaking my head."Am I in trouble?" I asked with a chuckle making her smile."I'll be there, just a minute please," I said rolling off my bed.She nods her head before walking away closing the door right behind her."Now what," I said with a groan.I didn't feel like going close to him.Not ready for his rude comments or anything.Grabbing my phone, I looked at the last text Emily sent.She still doesn't know what those pills are but is still trying to figure it out.Walking out of my room, I tried to put a smile on my face f
Lisa POV:"So you still have no idea what pills Ace's sister gave to him?" I asked Emily from my phone.The line went silent, then I heard Emily sigh."When I asked Dr. Marcus, he said those drugs are hard and it's only for animals, not Humans." She replied."So you're saying Ace's sister gave him animal pills?" I asked softly."Yes, but we are still looking into more information, I'll call you back, got some people to attend to, bye and be safe Lisa," Emily said before ending the call."Bye," I whispered looking at my phone before letting out a breath.I need to ask Ace more questions about this.I understand that his sister and have a bad bounding but why is that strong?And she has someone with her doing this.Animal pills are a hard source to get.Walking out of my room, with Ace pills with me.My mind was clouded with thoughts."This shouldn't be a problem for me, it's not my life, so why do I have this weird feeling," I questioned myself.Shaking my head, I knocked on Ace's door
Chapter 8Lisa POV:Last week one of the maids told me about Ace's sleeping disorder.I found out that every night he would go outside.He just stands there for hours and hours saying nothing to anybody.Shaking my head I tried hard not to think about Ace.I know he's just my patience and I will be leaving the house soon because he's getting stronger and stronger but for some reason, leaving him feels wrong.It's been 2 weeks now and we've gotten to know each other. He's still rude but not to me and I don't really know why.One of the maids said he has feelings for me and that is something I don't believe because he's rich and I'm just an ordinary Girl.I also received a call from Ella, and she still has no idea where those pills came from. I didn't know if I should tell Ace about it.Because I wasn't ready to be the cause of a family drama.“Ace, I wanted to inform you that I'll be leaving soon.” I said quietly walking into his room.Ace looked up at me, his glasses on his nose tip.
Lisa POV:Arriving at the ice cream store, I looked at Ace waiting for his first move.But he sat there staring at me.“What?” I asked softly looking outside.“Do you want us to go in together or just you?” He asked softly.“Do you want to follow me in? I asked, "I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable.“Yeah, I'll love that.” He replied before smiling at me.Then came out of his side of the car.Shaking my head, I looked at him as he walked toward my side of the car before getting out.“Come on Lisa, I wanted to open it.” He said loudly stomping his feet on the ground.Shaking my head, I giggled softly before closing the door.Ace looked at me with a pout, then opened my side of the door.“Thank you,” I said quietly but again he just looked at me with a smirk.Shaking my head, I walked toward the entrance of the ice cream store, only to be pulled by.“We are meant to Walk together Lisa,” Ace mumbled grabbing onto my hand.I gave him a nod, then watched him wrap his fingers with mine.
Lisa POV:Ladies and Gentlemen, Ace is sick, I had no idea how it happened.but since the day we went out for the Ice cream, he has been running a temperature and vomiting."Why didn't you tell me this earlier Ace," I said quietly."I didn't want to make you scared, I'm sorry Lisa." He mumbled his hand reached up to my hair.looking at him, I said nothing but just shook my head."It's like you've been sick because you don't look sorry to me," I said.making him smile."well me being sick, means you won't leave me anytime soon, so yes I'm 80% happy about that," he said.lord help me with this man, I prayed softly.Gabby giggled softly Making my head snap to her's."It's not funny Gabby, someone needs to talk to him," I mumbled."the only person that can do that is you Miss Lisa, You know how sir Ace is," Gabby mumbled.letting out a breath, I looked back at Ace only to see him giving me a grin."I'll go get his food," Gabby said before walking out of the room."All alright sit up stra
