Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney)

Chapter 0281

I laughed at the sound of her hearty laughter again. "Well, my hands are right here so I didn't forget them."

"Thank Goodness."

"But to be honest, I wouldn't know if I forgot anything until I unpack."

"Oh God," I rubbed my forehead. "I just hope you don't get stranded. Where are you guys now?"

She hummed for a while. "I can't tell. We are still on the bus though."

"I wish you an awesome journey, love."

"Thanks."

*And Amie, gosh! I've missed that girl. How is she doing? How did she take your departure?"

*She's coping and I would say she took the departure quite well. I expected more drama and was prepared to do lots of convincing but she surprised me. But," her voice dampened, "she is really struggling with her stay there in the hospital. She kept telling me that she wanted to go home."

I sighed. "Poor girl. I understand her. Hospitals aren't exactly parks or ice cream companies. Being there for a long while sucks. And the smells?" I shook my head, "It's like they perfume the place with antiseptics and drugs. You need to be strong to consciously remain in a hospital for a long while. And Amie is the strongest girl I know."

"Yeah, she is. But I just can't help but be worried. She needs me by her side. I'm really starting to regret the decision of taking this trip."

"Relax, Ana. Just as I said and you agreed, Amie is strong. It's just a week, she can survive it without you! The nurses are very efficient workers who take their jobs seriously. Besides, I'm retu ing home and I will be by her side. So don't worry. Enjoy your trip and return with lots of juicy gossip for Amie and I."

"Thank you, Clara," I smiled as I heard the smile in her voice.

"The doctor even suggested that I hire a caretaker since I have work and can't always be with her. He said since she will be staying for a long time, it's advisable to have a regular face instead of just the new faces of the nurses that will be changed everyday."

I nodded, "That makes sense."

"A lot but do you know how much a caretaker costs? My God. I had to quickly exit the page before I had a panic attack. I can't afford a caretaker when I am still dead worried about the other necessary expenses that I need to pay for." She sighed, "Also I think Amie mentioned her want to go home to the doctor because he suggested home treatment options, but it's freaking expensive. I just wish I had the extra income to give her the best comfort at this period."

My heart felt a bit heavy in my chest as I listened to her. I really wish I could help. For the first time, I was glad that I didn't get that outfit. The price of it was nothing compared to the treatment fees but it'd go a long way in settling some of Amie's hospital bills.

"It's okay, babe, Don't worry too much, just do your best, I promise we'd figure this out together, okay?"

"Okay," she said in a small voice and I could tell that the moment our call ended, she'd go back to Chapter 0281

worrying. So I tried to prolong our call as much as I could.

"By the way, I got Amie some really cute outfits. I'm sure she'd love them."

"Aww, she definitely will and she'd be so happy."

"I know right, I already have a list of some of the games we'd play to get her mind off things and it includes dressing up. I'm sure she will get tired and fall asleep trying them out," A giggle started to bubble up my throat as I conjured up a scene where she fell asleep while trying out a dress.

"Oh please, spare my kid, you witch."

"Yes ma'am," I mocked as I rose to my feet and pulled up my suitcase. “Okay, I better get going now."

"Okay then."

"But first, promise me you'd have fun and not worry about a thing while you're there."

She scoffed, "You make it sound so easy."

"Yes and you have to make it feel easy too. Promise me you'd take your mind off things and just relax."

I hear her groan as she did as I asked. And while I listened to her, my eyes roamed the almost empty airport. And just then, my eyes fell on a very familiar figure climbing down an equally familiar car. I gasped, "Ana, it's Dennis!"

I began to wave enthusiastically with a beam,

until Dennis looked my way. Then I dragged my suitcase and approached Dennis who had also begun walking toward me.
