Love Redux: Fated to the Handsome Doctor

The yellowing dusk bestowed a natural beauty that should have been enjoyed, but not by me. Olivia's sudden appearance, after the confrontation I had, was the biggest insult to me."That woman! How dare she!"I slumped weakly after the series of events I experienced felt like shaking my world. Suddenly, my stomach felt painful, my muscles tensed again. Yet, I had just promised the doctor to take care of this nearly 6-month-old pregnancy well, after almost experiencing a miscarriage before.Seno hadn't come home for several days, claiming overtime, over and over again. Now I knew why there were some properties held in his name, secretly. Did Seno buy Olivia an apartment or a house? Imagining that, my head started to ache. How dare they play with fire behind my back!"Madam!" Bi Yani called out, I could hear her voice faintly. But, I was still struggling to breathe.Seno's drastic increase in wealth prevented me from interrogating him like at the beginning of our marriage. The man had ch

-Andre's POV-I never imagined that the patient on this operating table is... Lara!"Doctor, I ho-hope... my baby survives," she said with a trembling voice.What happened to her? And the baby... Lara is already married?"Doctor!""Ah!"For a moment, I froze, unable to act. I was swept away by childhood memories that suddenly surfaced. Lara Selene was a childhood friend I've been searching for. How could we meet again in such a tragic situation?"Surgery, begin."I returned to the main task and wasted no time. The skilled medical team carefully assisted me in starting this critical rescue procedure.We began the surgery, which could last for hours, with tension palpable to everyone in the room.The operating room was filled with the sounds of medical equipment clattering, blinding surgical lights, and the fast movements of the surgical team working tirelessly. In that silent room, Lara's life and that of her unborn child were at stake. Ironically, I couldn't even grasp the reality tha

-Lara's POV-The boundary between reality and fantasy becomes blurred when you've just undergone such a long surgery. With the hatred embedded after encountering Olivia again, my memories began to drift back to when we were still college students.Back then, nearly a dozen years ago, I had just moved to Triguna Campus in Jakarta, after living with my aunt in Surabaya.My parents passed away many years ago, my aunt picked me up from Indonesia and raised me in the city of heroes. It was quite difficult to adapt there, especially when your face is very different from the other children.Many said I was beautiful, although I always felt my face was just as average as my other friends. In my hometown, a face like mine was considered exotic because of the mix of Caucasian and Asian races. There was no distinction between Caucasian beauty and Asian beauty. We appreciated differences, unlike in Indonesia.I was happy to be called beautiful, but many also bullied me for being called so. They e

I stared sharply at the doctor who was in front of me at the moment.A tall, handsome doctor with typical brownish eyes of mixed-race men in general. His black wavy hair was neatly combed like the appearance of a white coat wrapping his body.Andre.My childhood friend who has now become my enemy."You!"My anger suddenly flared up—as if I could tear apart the doctor's body right then and there.Memories of the relationship between Doctor Andre and me in the past suddenly resurfaced and now they hurt me.Andre and I weren't enemies initially, but a terrible incident left a mark in my mind.That incident later made us archenemies, up until now. I even tried to cut off contact, although Andre and his sister often tried to find me, he said. I never confirmed that.I am indeed a girl full of scars from the past. I haven't even felt completely happy, until one day, a fetus suddenly emerged from within my womb.That fetus, my unborn child, is my strength. I will fight to heal from the menta

I glanced briefly at Olivia's thick lips, as if I wanted to suck them. However, I held back. In my opinion, Olivia wasn't that beautiful. I've met women who are more beautiful than her. Especially, my sister.My sister is a very beautiful woman with the best genes from our Caucasian father. My sister's blonde hair is not fake blonde like that woman's.No matter how much I scanned Olivia's appearance, nothing caught my interest. Olivia really isn't my type."Please step back a bit," I snapped, starting to feel uncomfortable. Olivia's perfume scent was too overpowering and made my head feel dizzy."Huh?"Olivia began to step back. I could tell from her demeanor that she was quite awkward. This demeanor wasn't apparent when we first met."Have you been working here for long, Doc?" she asked, playing with the ends of her hair blown by the night breeze. Her voice sounded a bit odd. If I may say, it was too contrived. I didn't know for what purpose."Quite," I replied, still enjoying this c
