A Baker And A Billionaire (Completed)

Chapter 51

Two days had passed since the news of Ashwin's father's death. Sivaangi, Shreya, Monisha, and Akash were finally getting discharged from the hospital, and Ashwin was relieved to see them recovering.

However, his mother and sister were still struggling to come to terms with their loss. They were mourning the death of the man they thought they knew, and Ashwin couldn't blame them. He was torn between comforting them and dealing with the pressure from the every side.

As the head of Kumar Industries now, Ashwin had to navigate the complex web of corporate politics and ensure a smooth transition. He was constantly bombarded with calls and meetings, and the stress was taking a toll on him.

Adding to his worries was the care of Sivaangi and the others. They were still recovering from their ordeal, and Ashwin felt responsible for their well-being. He was trying to balance everything, but it was getting increasingly difficult.

As he sat in his room, trying to collect his thoughts, Ashwin felt overwhelmed. He was just one person, and the weight of the world seemed to be on his shoulders. He didn't know how much longer he could keep this up.

Meanwhile, Sivaangi smiled weakly as Pugazh helped her to get ready. She was still a bit sore from her injuries, but she was determined to go home and start the healing process.

Pugazh was gentle and patient, helping her with each step. "You okay, Sivu? Need any help?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern.

Sivaangi nodded, wincing slightly as she moved her arm. "I'm fine, anna. Just a bit stiff."

Pugazh nodded, his face softening. "Take your time, Sivu. We're not in a rush."

Sivaangi hesitated and asked, "Where is he?"

Pugazh understood that she is asking about Ashwin.

"He went home last night. He will be there in few minutes." He said and helped her to stand.

Meanwhile, Akash and Monisha were chatting with Dharshan as they got ready to leave.

Vikram was helping Shreya to walk, his face set in a determined expression. Shreya looked pale and tired, but she smiled weakly at Vikram.

As they finished getting ready, the group made their way to the hospital entrance.

As they walked out of the hospital, the warm sunlight and fresh air enveloped them, a stark contrast to the sterile hospital environment they had been in for days.

Ashwin who walked inside at the same time. His eyes met Sivaangi's, and he smiled weakly, but before he could reach her side, Shreya called out to him.

"Ashwin..."

Ashwin turned to her, and Sivaangi watched as he caressed Shreya's head with a gentle smile. Sivaangi felt a pang of unease, knowing about Shreya's feelings for Ashwin. She tried to brush it off, but it was hard to ignore the way Shreya looked at him, with a mix of adoration and longing.

Just then, Shreya wrapped her fingers around Ashwin's arm, pulling him closer to her. Sivaangi's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a surge of possessiveness.

Ashwin didn't seem to notice the tension, though. He just smiled and let Shreya lead him, his eyes fixed on her face. Sivaangi felt a pang of jealousy, but she pushed it aside.

As they made their way to the cars, Pugazh helped Sivaangi into the backseat with Dharshan, while Vikram carefully lifted Shreya into middle seat. Akash and Monisha also sat in the middle seat.

Ashwin got into the driver's seat, Vikram sat beside him. Ashwin eyes meeting Sivaangi's in the rearview mirror. For a moment, they just looked at each other, the air thick with unspoken emotions. Then, Ashwin looked away, starting the car and pulling out of the hospital parking lot.
