Beyond the Divorce

A terrifying scream jolted me awake. I sat up, and a comforting arm wrapped around me. "Chlo, don't be afraid..."

I gasped for air and stared at the refined features before me. Still shaken, I looked at him and murmured, "Atlas, a car hit us, and I flew out of the car window..."

His eyes were fixed on me. "Chlo, did you remember something?"

I was unsure how to respond, considering it was just a dream.

"Don't be scared. It's all over now. Look!" Atlas reassured me tenderly.

I scanned the surroundings and suddenly remembered Lauren. I looked down at the bed, and a sudden realization hit me. "Lauren... Where is she?"

Atlas patted my back and softly whispered, "They're still resuscitating her."

My whole body stiffened. "Resuscitation?"

I quickly pushed Atlas away.

"I need to see her. Why do they need to resuscitate her? Is she seriously injured? She saved me..."

My voice choked as tears welled up. "Take me there. I need to wait for her. Nothing can happen to her!"

Seeing my distressed state, Atlas struggled to contain his emotions. He quickly helped me put on my shoes and then lifted me gently. Striding out of the ward, he headed toward the emergency room.

I noticed my left arm was bandaged, indicating some injury. But I could still move, and there were no injuries elsewhere other than the severe headache.

Before reaching the emergency room, I saw Oliver standing silently in the hallway.

"How long has it been?" I inquired.

Atlas gently placed me down and checked the time. "Almost two hours."

Staring at the door, I thought, 'Everything will be fine. She'll be okay!'

At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor. I turned to see Ivanna.

Her face was pale as she reached me, inspecting me from top to bottom. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine! It's Lauren. She shielded

Atlas nodded solemnly. "Trust me. They have the best doctors with her. She'll be okay."

"What happened?" Ivanna asked anxiously. "We planned to arrive by noon. If only we knew this would happen..."

"We were already on the way..." I rubbed my throbbing head, then said, "A car chased us and kept ramming into us..." Ivanna looked at Atlas. "Any leads?"

Atlas replied with a cold tone, "Dylan is handling it."

Ivanna turned to me. "Did you see what kind of car it was?"

I shook my head, agitated. "No, it was raining too heavily, and we couldn't see anything. The impact was intense. It was probably a large vehicle.

were no other cars on that road."

Suddenly, the lights in the emergency room went out. I nervously watched the door, unable to move. My heart raced.

Oliver immediately rushed to the entrance.

After a while, the door to the emergency room swung open. A doctor walked out, looking at us. Atlas gently guided me to the door.

"Doctor!"
