Derrick sat next to Lily on the newly provided seat chatting with Lily who was still in a coma. Lily squeezed his hand as soon as his tears touched the back of her hand. He quickly called for a doctor A doctor and a nurse walked into the room. The doctor checked Lily and smiled. He turned to face Derrick "Her healing had progressed tremendously. She will open her eyes soon" The doctor gave him the good news and he left with the nurse. Derrick was smiling ear to ear "Lily, thank you for not leaving me and fighting to stay with me. I promise you; I will not let anyone harm you again" he said happily Lily opened her eyes, but she wore an expressionless look on her face. Derrick, seeing her eyes were open, called out to her "Lily! Lily, can you hear me?" Lily looked at him but was still expressionless. He called out to the doctor again who returned quickly to the ward and was shocked she had opened her eyes already.The doctor checked her again and spoke "Hello" he said but Lily on
Lily had woken up from her coma but unfortunately could not remember anything. Now they need to run a test on her to understand her situation better. Derrick had joyfully shared the news of Lily waking up with Luis but skipped the details about her memory loss. Luis has information from the interrogation, which has raised some questions which he intends to investigate. He had entered Rose's room to inform her of Lily waking up and decided to enjoy a moment with her. Rose opened her eyes slowly. She lay on the bed for a while and decided to turn but realized there was a hand on her waist and someone breathing studly behind her neck. She remembered she was in Luis's room and quickly recalled the night's event that led to her sleeping in Luis's room. Not wanting to wake him, she gently tried to free herself from his grip, but he held her tighter anytime she moved. She resigned to staying in bed for a while and decided to face up on the bed. She slowly turned and decided to catch a glim
Luis and Rose are having problems in their relationship as Rose can't stop seeing Luis as her boss. Luis is unhappy about this as Rose is distancing herself from him. It makes him feel he is still taking advantage of her. They both arrived at the hospital with Luis ignoring her. Derrick from the doctor's office came to Luis and shared the good news from the doctor with him "The results came out good. Lily is recovering. She is out of danger now." He announced excitedly "That is great news to hear. You finally get to take your little girl home" Luis said forcing a smile "Yeah" Derrick replied but remembered something, and the smile vanished from her face "She doesn't know who I am," he announced sadly "What do you mean?" asked Luis 'She lost her memory," Derrick informed him "What!" Luis exclaimed; Rose turned to look in the two gentlemen's direction "Yeah, she can't remember anything," Derrick said "We can see her though" he addedThey both got up and Derrick was surprised Ro
Lily had finally been discharged from the hospital. Luis stayed with her as Derrick did the paperwork. She has still not gained her memory, but she has recovered from the dream state. She naturally warmed up to Derrick since he was with her all through. "You are finally going home," Luis broke the silence "Yes" Lily responded "Thank you for coming" she added in appreciationBefore Luis could respond, Derrick walked in and announced; "We are good to go" Lily wanted to get out of the hospital bed but Derrick stopped her and carried her instead. Luis followed teasing them by whistling the wedding match.Lily blushed and hid her face on Derrick's chest. They all exited the hospital and using Luis's car drove to Derrick's apartment. Derrick's apartment Luis drove into the compound and parked in front of the garage. They all got out of the car and Derrick carried Lily even though she insisted on walking. They entered the house and he helped Lily sit on the sofa and instructed one of
"Get some rest, I will make you some tea," he said and got up to leave. He stood there for a while and he bent over and kissed her lips."This is the last time he will be able to be that with her, be this close to her and be that affectionate with her. Starting now, things will be different," He thought to himself as he walked out of Rose's room. As soon as Luis left, she broke down tears beating her pillow as if the pillow offended her. "She was sure she didn't want to be with him so why did it hurt so much that he broke off their engagement?" These thoughts ran through her mind as she cried. Luis was standing in front of her door, so he could hear her crying. His heart ached to hear her cry like that. He wished he could go back in there and pull her into his arms and tell her everything would be okay "I don't love her. I was only taking responsibility for my actions. So why does it hurt we broke up?" He thought and walked hurriedly into his study not wanting to hear her cry. In
What a perfect distraction plan." he said smiling sarcastically. After realizing framing Lily was just to distract him from carrying out the investigation, Luis now has questions he needs answers to. Yes, Lily had met up with Mrs Mingle, but why? She had sneaked out of the hospital that night, they thought she had a cardiac arrest. The lady who had met Jennifer to warn them of the police was in a black dress. Surprisingly, Lily was also in black and was also seen at the same location of the meet-up. Luis was in the kitchen, preparing some tea and some toast when his eyes caught sight of a candle close to the leg of the table. It was out. He took it and was wondering what that was doing there in the kitchen. It had the scent of almonds. "Wait, why will Rose light a scented candle and hide it behind the leg of the table, unless someone did it." He thought. He stopped what he was doing immediately, called his delivery guy and gave the candle in an envelope to send to his friend. He
"If it is about getting Rose a chatting friend, what are you there for?" Derrick teased and they both laughed. "Girls talk is very important," Luis replied with a smile. Derrick returned to his apartment to plan the trip. He made some calls to book a flight ticket for tonight. He went to Lily's room and found her sitting on the bed with her eyes fixated on the window"Lily," He called as he sat next to her on the bedShe turned her gaze from the window to Derrick, but she was expressionless "Lily, is everything okay?" he asked worriedly Getting no response he asked another question "Are you hungry "She burst out crying. He quickly hugged her, rubbing her back "Hey, is okay. I am not leaving you alone again. sh! sh! sh!" He consoled herShe pulled apart from him and looking at him with tearful eyes he asked "Why can't I remember anything. ? know I have been here before. I can feel it. So why can't I remember anything?" she cried "Lily, don't beat yourself up. You will get your
Derrick and Lily have safely arrived in California with the hope that the new environment will keep Lily safe and help with her recovery. Lily went to bed upon arrival as she was exhausted from the long flight. Derrick, feeling a little disappointed, went back to his room to sleep. He tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep. Eventually, he got out of bed, sat behind his desk, and started planning their fun activities. Places they could visit, shopping, yes shopping. He sat behind the desk listing them out, occasionally he checked the internet for interesting places they could visit for fun. He did that to while away the time.The birds' noisy chirping woke him up. He realizes he had dozed off behind the desk while planning their fun activities. He got up and stretched feeling some pains in his back. He frowned and was heading toward the washroom when he heard a knock on his door. He went and opened it and it was one of the servants who had come to inform him breakfast was ready"Wha
