Billionaires' Runaway Brides

Chapter 41

Hayat Aslan's POV

I was discharged from the hospital and I was feeling a little better. I was feeling weird. After my brother, Murat was the one who took so much care of me. He was a bit busy as grandma's operation was successful but she had many complications. As I lay on my bed, I reflected on the happenings for the last few days. Erhan reached out to me multiple of times and I was being selective while receiving his calls.

If he called me for five times then I received his call only two times. I was still angry with him and both him and Murat didn't told me anything about the deal they did involving me. I was waiting for them to enlighten me. Forget Murat, I was mainly upset because it's my brother who was involved with making the deal. He used to protect me from everything. How could he made a deal about me just for some investment? It was not really surprising to see Murat doing something like that as he was not really close to me but my brother's betrayal haunted me.

I didn't spent enough time with my brother to know if he changed or went more down but I could say that Murat had a major change. I needed to get myself busy or else I was going to fall soft for him. With that in mind, I got ready to go into the hospital. All my reports came normal so I was just sick normally.

I first went to Zain's cabin. He was not moving much as he was drowsy and very much influenced by the medicine. Ayfer hugged me as soon as she saw me. "How are you? I heard you got sick after the long surgeries. You still don't take care of yourself."

"I am fine. How are you? You are staying here for months. Hospital can make even a healthy person sick." I said hugging her back.

"Hospital is our home for months. We eat here, live here, sleep here. Erhan goes one place to another. I don't even know how my house look like now. It's so hard to see him like this." She cried. This woman had a very special place in my heart. When she was Erhan's girlfriend, she was already treating me like her little sister. She used to bring food, scold me if I pulled an all nighter for the countless of times as a student. She became a family from that time only. I didn't know if she knew about the deal or not and it didn't matter. Everyone was excused after my brother.

"He will be fine soon. But you need to stay here a little longer." I said with a smile. She looked aged, more than her actual age. That's what tension and stress does to someone.

"Now, I could not really talk to you amidst all these but tell about your Canada life. Did you manage to get a handsome doctor run behind you?" She asked me teasingly, making me chuckle at her.

"Whenever we have emergency, we ran towards the patient or towards the OT. The doctors there are good looking so, you can say that I managed to get plenty of handsome doctors run behind me." I said with a laugh and she hit me on my arm.

"I am serious, Hayat." She tried to scold me a little.

"I am serious as well. If I really had a boyfriend, you think he would be okay with me staying at my ex fiancé's house? I worked really hard to become a senior doctor there. Got a roommate who was equally caring about me like you, scolded me a lot for missing my meals. My life was basically at my work place. Also, I am not going to date a doctor. Surely we will get no time to know each other. You know our fvcked up schedule." I shrugged. I honestly would never like dating in workplace. It's cute but stressful. I already had enough of that so no thank you.

"Understandable. How is he? Grandma is still under observation." Ayfer asked.

"Did you not talk to him? He is kind of holding it well in front of others but not well when he is alone. She is his only family so it's obvious but it still looks odd to the mighty Yilmaz breaking down like that. I wish I could do something but there is little to nothing I could do and I hate that." I went into a daze and kept talking about him.

When I realized what I was doing, I immediately looked at Ayfer and she had a blank face, until I saw the slight smirk that she had. She looked directly at my eyes and said, "I do not talk to him after you left. He was the reason why you left and did not see your nephew. But looks like I need to start talking to him again."

Nandini Arora's POV

After a whole day of bedrest, nurse Manik Mehrotra let me go out of the bed and I would be going to my work station to work on my dresses. I was really really happy that I was going back to work. I even left without telling Manik that I was leaving. It would have taken too much time. I would have to go down to his room, knock it, wait for him to open it and then too much talk early in the morning.

I was literally hopping towards the work station but I was stopped by a very familiar blonde. "Katherine? When did you come? Nial said you didn't come." I hugged her.

"I didn't but he went back and dragged me here." I looked at her with a shocked face.

"Wait, what? He went back to bring you here? But Manik said that he went back because he had important work to do. Tell me the truth, he could have just arrange a flight for you. Why did he go back himself just to company you?" I said with a frown.

She looked like a deer who just came in contact with a head light. She tried to talk but only gibberish came out. "Is he torturing you too much? Heck! No matter how much I like my boss, I can not support this kind of behavior." I said with a disappointing head shake. He always overworked the poor girl and it was real headache when he threw tantrum.

"No, why you always think so negative? He had some important meeting there and when he was coming back, he brought me with him." She always talked in his favor. But we saw everything with our eyes. Everyone in the office try to be extra good with her because she already had too much in her plate.

" Are you sure?" I asked again and she nodded. "Okay. It's good that you are here. I will get some help from you then." I was said that in a funny way but she just smiled and said, "I am here for that only."

My smile was replaced with a frown. "You are here to help me? But why? Why Nial brought you here?" I asked too much questions.

Before she could reply, Nial came out of nowhere and she was checking something on his phone. "Oh, you are here. Nandini, don't worry. You are a very talented designer so these little accidents can't stop you. You can start fresh with new designes and finish it before the deadline. I saw you tackling those problems before as well."

Nial was telling me encouraging words and it made me more confused. "What are you talking about? Why would I start from fresh when I already had few works done?"

Nial raised his brows and looked at Katherine. "You didn't tell her?"

Katherine gave him a look as if she wanted to shout at him. "Not yet!"

"What are you both talking about? What happened with my dresses?" I was about to run towards my station when Katherine stopped me.

"Calm down, Nandini. Let me tell you what happened. The day you got sick, a fire started and they managed to get most of the dresses out but yours ones caught fire. Those are no longer usable." She tried to explain me calmly but I was already sick and my works were completely gone. Not that I completed them or anything but I had something done!

"How can that happen, how can a fire can start there? There is nothing much in there."

"Yeah, they are investigating how it happened. The place for station has been changed as well. I am sorry it happened but you need to figure it out without neglecting your health." Nial said and I already felt like the world was rotating. I was going to fall again but again someone stopped me. I looked back only to see Manik standing behind me with a frown.

"I don't think you are still well." He said in a monotonous tone.

"I am already feeling stressed. Why nobody informed me about it before? Now I don't even have four days to make three dresses." I let out a disturbed sigh.

"Because you will get more sick. Let's take you back to your room, I don't think that you should work today." Manik said and I rolled my eyes.

"I have a deadline in front of me, I can not rest but I will go back to my room for the time being. I need to decide what I would do and what not. Whoever started that fire will rot in hell!" I shouted before leaving. Two people following me from behind.
