Married to my nemesis-Chapter 48: No!!

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hmm, am I speaking to Laurence Lane Marvel?"

"Yes, who is this?"

"Ma’am, yesterday there was a tragic accident which occurred at the Lexi’s road bridge. A car was seriously crashed into I’ll have to tell you that among those patients we tried to save, unfortunately, two of these patients lost their lives when we tried saving them."

At first, Laurence took it in but then she smirked in jest thinking it must be a prank call.

"What are you saying is this some kind of prank or what? Do you want to get sued? Besides, who are the victims?"

"Ma’am, according to the ID we were able to find, the driver, Victor Halsey, one woman at the back is bearing the name Lia Lane, and the other woman, Britney Coleman."

Laurence didn’t know if she was going to scream or faint but one thing was sure, she dropped the phone out of shock.

"Mum, what happened?" Phoebe questioned concerned but Laurence was too bewildered to even give a reply, she was shocked.

Since Laurence didn’t give her a reply, Phoebe picked up the phone questioning the person, and just when she was told the situation, just like Laurence she was shaken.

She gulped her saliva knowing she had to keep herself cool at least for now as she asked the next question.

"What hospital, is the place located in?"

Back to the presence.

Laurence ran through the halls, she was guided into the hospital since a lot of people who recognized her were about to approach her, and apparently, the people who knew her were thousands walking their way towards her with a lot of loud compliments.

"Laurence, I love you!!" Some yelled but then she was unconcerned about those at the moment since she needed to see what had happened.

Pushing aside her fans some seem to notice her worried expression as she was guided into the hospital.

Max and Phoebe came down from their car and just like their mother, they were also attended to by their fans.

The family was just so popular but for that moment, their popularity didn’t matter.

Phoebe greeted the fans trying to be nice placing a smiley expression so it would be written on the news about something serious Max also followed her gesture but then they were guided into the hospital.

Laurence ran through the halls as fast as she could, regardless of her status or the eyes of the people till she reached the receptionist.

"I’m looking for Lia Lane," she said with a sulk voice.

"Oh, ma’am."

Just after the nurse recognized who she was Max and Phoebe came forward as the receptionist spoke.

Phoebe and Max couldn’t handle their breath since they also had to run, they didn’t know their mum was that fast.

Was she flash?

Taking their breaths, the receptionist, took the landline telephone and then informed the doctor of Laurence’s presence as she was asked to lead Laurence to where the doctor was.

"Ma’am, if you move straight there is a junction with a left and right, take the left side, and you’ll be directed to the ward."

Laurence didn’t have the concern to be thankful.

She was worried about her sister so she immediately followed the directions.

The words of whoever called her terrified her to bits, it made her panic completely all she wanted to see was that everything was alright.

She told herself a hundred times, nothing happened to Lia and she wasn’t dead.

Right?

After all, she didn’t know what she could do, she held her breath as she ran through the halls not until she got to see the door of the ward.

She stopped not eager to take another foot.

She felt the chills of goosebumps as she was terrified rubbing her hands as she gulped her saliva.

Max and Phoebe finally caught up to her as they were welcomed with Laurence’s tears.

She silently cried wiping her tears so she could stay confident.

"Mum, are you sure you can do this?" Laurence shook her head as she bit her lip to keep herself from wailing in tears.

She couldn’t but then, she knew she needed to be confident at that moment, she wept her tears and then plastered a sad smile on her face.

"I’ll do this, I’m going to do this," she motivated herself with a weakened voice as Max came forward hugging his mother and caressing her shoulder Laurence reached for his hand, caressing it and then she nodded determined.

"Let’s go," they walked into the ward, and there, the nurses attended to Lia who was lying on the bed unconscious as a heart rate system was connected to her which was still beeping.

Laurence stood there stunned and speechless as she watched the nurses attend to her.

There was a bandage around her head and then, the wounds on her body were stitched.

"Lia," Laurence softly muttered as a doctor came in with a nurse, she was focused on the tablet she held as she gave the nurse some instructions.

When she raised her head, she gasped in relief seeing them as she had a bit of a smile.

"You’re here," the doctor said.

"Doctor, what happened to Lia, why? Didn’t two patients die?"

Laurence was grateful that her sister was okay but then she was stunned to see her sister in the situation.

She needed to know everything.

"Yes, we mentioned two patients died, the driver and the woman who was with Lia. Luckily Lia was able to survive the car accident but as of this moment, she is in a coma and we’re waiting for her to recover."

"So you’re trying to say aunt is still alive?" Max said with immense joy filled in his words.

"She is but as a matter that she’s in a coma we’ll have to wait, we’ll take care of her and we’ll be keeping an observation on her."

"What about Nanny Britney, can we get to see her body?" Phoebe questioned with an unclear tone since her throat was dry she couldn’t even imagine what she was saying.

"Okay, you’ll be led to the place," the doctor assigned one of the nurses to direct them as they continued with their attentive measures on Lia.

With the fact that Lia was still alive, it was a great relief to Phoebe but then, Nanny Britney, felt she was hammered on the leg to feel pain but then the pain was not reality.

Phoebe sniffed her nose trying to stop herself from crying, she tried to stay put as she gulped the saliva that was trying to wet her dry throat.

She knew she couldn’t take it any longer, her eyes swelled in tears and then she decided to stop her walk.

"Mum, I can’t take this, no, no, this is just too much," Phoebe gave up as she burst into tears crying uncontrollably as her mother came forward to hug her.

"You’ll be just fine, okay. Everything is alright, you hear? Hush now dear," Laurence comforted as she patted her kissing Phoebe on her head as she caressed Phoebe’s back.

"You’ll be okay, everything will be alright," her mother whispered as she hugged her tall daughter.

Max also reacted to the event, his emotions were weighing on him and he finally decided to let it out.

He bit his lower lips crying out silently and then he wept the tears on his face.

He needed to stay strong but just like Phoebe had said, it was just too much.

"You can do this Phoebe, okay?" Max encouraged and then as she raised her head, she nodded.

They walked into the morgue where Nanny Britney’s body was preserved as they grew closer, Phoebe’s stepping became heavier entering the room, and she walked to where her body was laid.

Phoebe’s face was red evident of the tears she’d cried and how stressed she was, she didn’t know what to do as she shrieked in tears.

"No!!!" Yelling she gently fell to her knees.

"Nanny Britney, you aren’t dead, right? Is just a plan right?! Please don’t do this, don’t go yet," Phoebe wept pleading and pleading as she couldn’t to whimper in tears.

**

It was a dark room, the space was almost empty but there were still things remaining in the room.

An old monitor-like television was placed on its stand as it was powered on, with the bright light that was reflecting because of what was showcasing, the silver-masked woman sat on a red fluffy couch which had a circular style for her to sit on.

She gently laid her back on the couch, crossing her legs as she watched the show.

Her lips formed into a smirk and then she removed her mask placing it on the table beside the couch.

What was her show?

It was Phoebe on her knees crying her tears out as Max and Phoebe tried comforting her but they also cried looking at Britney’s body.

"I never thought she could cry this much, I thought she was brave, her father was killed, her sister was killed and now Nanny Britney is dead but here she is crying tears," she clicked her tongue against the upper part of her mouth in pity.

"Phoebe seems to surprise me a lot," she heaved a deep breath and then stood up from the couch.
