Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 53 : Hope
*Lexie’s POV*I sit beside Natasha in the hospital waiting room and hold her cold hand; she is not moving, she has tears running down her eyes but she stays still and emotionless. My eyes are fixed on Noland, who stands at a slight distance, speaking with Chris, Carol, and what appears to be a police officer. The tension in his posture is palpable and I can't help but feel a mixture of concern and admiration for the way he is handling things."Lex," Natasha says, her voice almost faint, "what if Robert doesn't make it through this?"I glance at her, taking in the worry etched on her face. Her blue eyes, which usually sparkle with mischief, are now filled with fear. I reach out, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Natasha, he's strong. He'll pull through this. You know how stubborn he can be."She offers me a weak smile, but her eyes continue to fill with tears."Your dad is doing everything he can," I say softly, watching as Noland continues his conversation with the oth
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 54 : Good Connections
*Noland's POV*I look at Lexie and Sussie, their faces filled with worry. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest as I try to maintain a calm demeanor for their sake. "Listen," I say, raising my hands slightly as if to steady them from across the room. "Chris and I are going to go to the police station to see what we can find out about this whole mess.""Are you sure that's a good idea?" Lexie asks. Her eyes flicker, reflecting her fear and concern."Absolutely," I reply with a conviction I don't entirely possess. "And I've asked Chris to assign a new security agent – Max – to keep an eye on both of you while we're gone. You need to be safe, I don’t trust anyone now."Sussie nods, her sunshine personality temporarily clouded by the weight of the situation. "Thank you, dad. We appreciate it."I walk out and shake hands with Max, as he has just arrived. Chris already filled him in about the situation. As I prepare to leave with Chris, a nagging thought enters my mind. "Have eithe
Surrendering to my Best Friend's Dad Chapter 55 : Unexpected Possibilities
*Lexie’s POV*I pace back and forth outside Robert's room. Lately I have started to worry about so many things, like the possibility that Thomas contacted someone and made that shooting, and if that is true, it means this is all my fault, amplifying my growing feeling of nausea. My vision blurs, and I have to grip the wall for support."Miss Montgomery?" A kind-faced nurse approaches me with concern etched on her face. "You don't look so good.""J-just a little dizzy," I stutter, trying to steady myself. My legs feel like jelly beneath me."Here, sit down." The nurse guides me to a nearby chair, her warm hand on my shoulder providing some comfort. "I can check your vitals if you'd like. Have you been eating? Drinking enough water?"I nod weakly, but my mind races. Sure, I've been stressed, but this feels different – more intense. The nurse raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced by my response. "Have you considered the possibility that you might be pregnant, Miss?"My heart sk

Robert sits on the bed, the nurse finishing some examinations of his arm. He looks good, healthier, more awake.The door clicks open and Sussie enters, her blonde hair shimmering around her face. She takes in the sight of us, her sunshine personality momentarily dimmed by the tension in the room."Hey, guys," she says softly, trying to sound upbeat despite the gravity of the situation."Hi, Sussie," I respond, attempting a smile."Sis," Natasha breathes, relief washing over her features. "I need your help with something.""Of course, what do you need?" Sussie asks, her eyes flicking to Eleanor, who sits in the corner, a disapproving scowl etched onto her face."Could you stay with Robert while I finalize the details for my show tomorrow? I can't focus on it with all this going on," Natasha explains, her voice cracking slightly.

It's Chris, and the urgency in his voice is palpable."Noland, I've traced the location of the rental car," Chris says, his words punctuated by a gravity that sends a chill down my spine.
