Chapter 102

"No... don't freak out, it's not serious. If it's very serious, you won't be able to walk at all for days. You should stay away from intense sèx for now, at least till it'd tighten back. I'll write you some drugs" The doctor smiled.

"Thank you" Ixora sighed in relief.

"So...is he your boyfriend?" The doctor asked interestedly, and Ixora couldn't even talk.

"You don't have to answer, just use the drugs accordingly" the doctor smiled again, sending the drug list to her phone.

She finally left, and Ixora felt depressed immediately.

He's not her boyfriend, he just lost his memory and he hates her.

It's wrong.

She shouldn't be doing this, but she can't possibly stop her heart from beating around him or stop her body from responding to his touches.

He even understands her body more than she does, and it's... insane.

The parents and Nadine came back in shortly.

Stonia insisted on taking her home, and Rafael didn't even argue to avoid further complications.

"The burnt fuelling station already called for a meeting, we're gonna have to rebuild it I hope you know, so get your cash ready... we'll split the payment" she said glaringly as she got in the car with Ixora and Nadine.

Ixora was waving at Rafael, and the man blew her kisses as Stonia drove out.

\[Stonia's Mansion\]

Serena was nowhere to be found when Ixora arrived home with her mother.

Nadine came with them.

"Do you want tea? Is it custard? Or oatmeal...I can make you stew too if you want..." Stonia asked, stroking her hair as she sat in bed.

"I'm not hungry" Ixora replied.

"What do you mean you're not hungry? You almost got into an accident" Stonia replied.

"I'm honestly not hungry, mum. I just wanna sleep and rest" Ixora replied.

"Really? Fine" Stonia kissed her hair before facing Nadine.

"I'll take care of her, don't worry" Nadine said.

"I trust you, and how are your parents? It's been a while." Stonia stood.

"They come home yearly, but since last year...they haven't visited, so I'm expecting them this year" Nadine replied.

"When they arrive, you should invite them to dinner here." Stonia smiled.

"Of course, I'll do that" Nadine smiled.

Stonia blew kisses at Ixora, then she left the room.

As the door clicked behind her, Nadine rushed to Ixora.

"You had sèx with Warren? What! He's not with his memories and —"

"It's wrong, I know... Can you just pretend like you don't see me for some days? I swear I can't stop myself around him, and I feel like I'd still do sillier things" Ixora replied.

"Oh my...and you even got cervical tear? How hard did he fûck you?" Nadine said.

Ixora lay in bed.

"I saw stars, I swear" she muttered.

"Of course" Nadine chuckled. "Give me the drug list, I'll call the pharmacy and a nurse will deliver them tomorrow morning" she said.

Ixora handed her the list, and while Nadine called the pharmacy, Ixora went to her inbox and surprisingly met a message from W.

W: My dîck won't stop stretching, that MF is still starving. I'll jerk off till daybreak in remembrance of how madly i pounded your brains at the alter. Sleep tight, moth... you need it.

She texted back with clenching belly.

Ixora: Goodnight (❤️‍🔥)

\[Crescent Hospital\]

"Welcome back, miss Serena" the pot-bellied doctor grinned as Serena entered his office.

"I wasn't expecting to still meet you" Serena replied, wiping her face.

"Is everything ok? You look like you cried" the doctor observed, then he looked behind.

"And your friend... Kelsey? Where is she?" He asked.

"She went missing since yesterday, we're still searching" Serena replied.

"Oops"

"Yeah, how's my work going?" Serena asked.

The man led her into the VVIP lab where the face building is ongoing, and when he opened the glass, Serena gasped.

It's almost done, just the nose.

"Oh..m..gee" she gasped.

"Now I need more funds, and it'll be done before weekend" the man said, and Serena dropped the bag on her shoulder, unzipping it to reveal bundles of cash which made the doctor laugh.

"Yunno this is why I like you, Serena. You're serious, and I'm guessing you got this from your aunt Stonia?"

"It's my parents money, they weren't poor before they died, so they left me trust fund, and I'm not asking aunt Stonia for money, I only need her love which she's finding hard to give, so if it's only possible by getting Ixora's face, then so be it" Serena replied diabolically.

"Good, but we won't be carrying out the surgery here, I have a branch in China for this purpose... we'll have to fly out when this face completes" the doctor said.

"Even better, I only have to wait for the right time" Serena smiled.

\[Ford Salon\]

Romeo didn't open his door till midnight, and Bethel made sure to wait without sleeping.

Immediately the door opened, she rushed in, but then Romeo is in the bathroom, peeing.

She sat on his bed, taking his phone and scrolling through it since she knows his password.

IXORA.

When she saw she's his wallpaper, she sighed.

"I wish I can rip out his heart" she muttered, but then she saw his new messages and clicked.

Her face squeezed when she saw the one he received last.

• Wanna know who your mother is really is? Come to Penny Dork tomorrow...8pm.

"What's this?" She muttered.

Romeo came out of the bathroom, and she quickly minimized and wiped recents before dropping the phone.

"Why are you in?" Romeo asked, his face hard.

"I'm not here to disturb, your food is in the kitchen, and you have five minutes to go get it or I'll eat it as bonus" she rolled eyes and left the room.

Romeo left the room too, going to the kitchen and taking his food.

He settled on the kitchen table to eat, but he couldn't concentrate.

The message and Ixora's face haunted him throughout.
