A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Tiara Pov Later, the doctor refuses to stay inside the room.

I was very angry, but what could I do when Laurel’s stepmother was there, showing how caring she was?

When we got to the seating room, they helped me to sit down on one of the couches there while we waited for the doctor.

She sat beside me trying to calm me down, so I could stop crying, but from what I knew, it felt like she was insulting and provocative.

But I had to play along. In order not to blow our cover.

And it is only at the end that we will know who will laugh best.

Do you need anything, even if it is water? Allen walked to my side and asked.

Thanks, but no, thanks.

I said to him while looking at the stairs and waiting for the doctor.

You need to stop crying because Laurel will be fine.

Allen said to me. Please help me tell her.

That is what I have been trying to tell her here, but she keeps ignoring me and stressing about herself and the baby. Nina said.

But I just ignored them and walked to where Laurel’s father was sitting because I could see the pain on his face and I just imagined how he would react when the doctor came and told him his son was dead.

That idea got me scared because what if his dad ends up having a heart attack because of this plan?

Maybe we would have just looked for another way to expose those two, but we are already deep into the plan, so we can’t do anything right now.

I just hope and pray all this drama ends quickly. I sat down beside Laurel’s dad.

Dad, do you need anything? I can go get it for you. I asked him.

No dear, I am fine and should be the person asking you that question. Are you okay?

Dad, I am trying to be okay with Laurel and my baby because I know deep down that he will come back to us.

Thanks so much my dear for not giving up on my son, even though you both met in a wrong manner, you are still here supporting him and his family.

Dad, I might not have gotten married to your son out of love, but one thing I know for sure is that I won’t leave him when he is in danger or when he needs me to be by his side.

Thanks so much, my dear.

There is no need for you to thank me, Dad. Are you sure you are okay and you don’t need anything? I asked him

I am fine.

After Dad refused to take anything, I decided not to force him and rather focused on waiting for the doctor to come downstairs.

It has been a long time since the doctor requested us to step out of the room and, up to now, he is not here to tell us what has happened to Laurel.

I just hope the glass of wine we exchanged wasn’t drugged either.

So I decided to walk upstairs to find out what was happening in the room but was stopped by my mother-in-law and Allen.

Where are you going? Laurel’s stepmother asked.

It has been a long time and the doctor is not yet out of the room, so I am going upstairs to find out what is wrong.

You know there is no need for that because the doctor himself asked us to wait for him here, so let’s just wait for him here and let him do his job.

He will be out soon I am sure about that.

After Nina said that, a voice came out of her back saying the doctor was coming downstairs, and I could see how anxious people in the party room were.

Thank God Nick and Jane left earlier since they told me they would be going to work tomorrow.

Because of that, they can’t be out for too long because they need to rest.

I rushed to the doctor.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Please, madam, you will need to calm down. The doctor said.

I am already calm. If not, you won’t be standing there and telling me to calm down.

Tiara is okay. Will you let that doctor tell us what is wrong with Laurel? I am sorry, doctor, for her boosts. Nina said, and the doctor nodded his head in understanding.

Doctor, can you tell us what is wrong with my son, Laurel? Laurel’s father asked.

Sir, can I see you for a while? I have something to discuss with you. The doctor said,

Why can’t you just tell us right now? What is the need to tell one person when the other will get the news? I said to the doctor

Doctor, my daughter is right. Please can you tell us what is wrong with my son? He is also her husband.

Alright, then sir, but please you will all need to calm down because the news I have here is not that good. The doctor said,

Doctor, will you just tell us what is wrong with my husband rather than telling us all this long summons? I said to the doctor angrily while Nina tried calming me down by massaging my back.

Please, before I go any further, I would like to ask madam, has your husband eaten anything throughout this party? The doctor asked me.

No doc, I even tried forcing him to eat something, but he kept refusing to eat, saying he was not hungry. Why are you asking if my husband has eaten or not?

Did he tell you he wants to eat now, so I can go give him his food?

No, madam, there is no need for that. I just asked because of my findings.

Ehh! Ehh! What happened to your findings? Will you go straight to the point? I said

Tiara, will you let the doctor tell all of us here what is happening to my son?

I’m sorry, just that I am scared. I said to the doctor.

“Well, madam, from my findings it proves that your husband has been POISON”.

“What!”

Yes, madam, your husband has been poisoned.

Are you sure you are talking about my son? Laurel’s dad asked.

Yes, sir, that is why I was wondering what he must have eaten the whole day of today because the poison given to him was low poison.

This means he must have eaten food that was poisoned or drunk something that was poisoned.

Wait a minute, doctor, did you just say he must have drunk something that was poison? I asked, and I could see the tense face of both Nina and her son, Allen.

Yes, did he drink anything? The doctor asked

If I can remember very well, a waitress served him a glass of wine 3 to 4 hours ago.

What!

Yes, she even offered to give me mine, but I refuse to drink since I am pregnant, and I shouldn’t drink anything alcoholic.

Could the waiter be the suspect? I asked the doctor.

I don’t know madam.

We have all been talking about the course, but you haven’t told us how my son is a doctor.

Laurel’s father asked, and I could see the seriousness and fear on his face. All I could do was pray for the doctor to look for an excuse and use it, because if he said Laurel was dead his father would have a heart attack and die, in truth.

Well, sir, in truth your son just skipped death because the situation was very serious, and thank God you called me early, and I brought all my working requirements.

If not, sir, I don’t mean to hurt you, but you will have heard that your son is dead.

But he is fine now, but right now he is in a coma. The doctor said,

Did you just say coma?

Yes, sir, and we will need to wait for him to wake up in the next 24 hours. If not, then I am sorry. I don’t think I will be able to save your son.

I could see how my father-in-law had just breathed out after a long time that he was holding his breath.

And I was happy that the doctor used a different story.

I could see the angry face of Allen and his mom.

So, doctor please, when will my husband get up? I asked.

Well for now, let’s just say in about 24 hours, but if he doesn’t, then we will need to transfer him to the hospital and that will only mean he is in a coma.

Can I go and see him now, doctor?

I’m sorry you can’t. You just need to wait until he wakes up.

Alright, doc, thanks. But how can someone poison him? What did he do to warrant people to poison him?

There is something you need to know. That is, you don’t need to wrong someone to want to kill you.

And to talk about someone like my son who is a big business person. He has so many competitors who want to take him out since they are afraid of him being their opponent, they will decide to use dirty tricks. Nina said

I remember that girl’s face very well. It is good that no one has left the venue for now, so I will make sure I get that foolish waiter who thinks she could come here and try to kill my husband and go set free.

Never!

I think you should just let everything go since Laurel is okay. Nina said.

My husband is not okay here. Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? My husband is in a coma. I said to Nina

There is no way I will let it go. It seems like you are not affected by what the doctor just said.

Of course, I care. Have you forgotten he is also my son? So don’t you dare say I don’t care? Nina said while crying crocodile tears.

If you do care, you won’t be here telling me to let the person who tried to kill your son, my husband, go just like that.

If you and Dad let the matter go just like that, I won’t. Until the person pays for what she did to my husband.

Also, Dad, if we let that waiter go, that means we have let the real person go and he or she will still come back to continue what they started, so I will never do that.

Don’t worry my dear, I will support you. Dad said

And let that person prepare to be arrested and he or she will spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Dad, I am sure the person is in this crowd, and we will get him or her soon. I said to Laurel’s dad and I could see fear on both Nina’s and her son’s faces.
