The elevator car itself was constructed with a steel framework for durability and strength. A set of steel beams above the car, called the crosshead, span the elevator shaft from side to side and hold the pulley for the hoist cable. A steel structure, called the sling, extends down the sides of the car from the crosshead and cradles the floor, or platform. The sides of a passenger elevator car were usually made from steel sheets and were trimmed on the inside with decorative paneling. The floor of the car may be tiled or carpeted. Handrails and other interior trim may be made from stainless steel for appearance and wearability. A suspended ceiling was often hung below the actual top of the car and contained fluorescent lighting above plastic diffuser panelsNathan had to try to pull Laura from the top. He has fully lowered above and was pulling the panels to pry them open“Calm down Laura… I'll get you out,” Nathan said with heavy breaths as he pried open the top of the elevator. The
Laura was woken up by multiple voices talking, reaching her head, she pushed her hair off her face not sure why her head was hurting so much. Her eyes felt heavy and opening them took a lot from her“Laura. Oh, thank goodness you are awake,” she heard her mom's voice when someone reached for her back and shoulders and helped her sit upright“Bring some water…sweetie, how are you feeling… Camila, call the doctor now!” Elizabeth yelled, making Laura's ears ache from the loud voices“Yes mom,” it was Camila said and rushed to the table beside the bed to pour some water for her sister“Where…where is Nate?” Laura asked when she fully regained her senses. Her mom frowned when she requested to see Nathan. “Forget him, Laura… you nearly got killed…the doctor will be here to examine you,” Elizabeth said, only then did Laura realize where she was. Looking at herself, she was lying in a hosp bed. “Mom, where is Nate…please…please tell me he's okay,” fear washed over her when she recalled what
“Well, I didn't mean to… the nurse” Abigail stammered awkwardly, attempting to get out of the room after barging in on Nathan and Laura kissing. Laura cleared her throat and climbed off the bed. “It's okay, he's awake,” Laura said awkwardly and Nathan nodded. Abigail nodded and proceeded in“I came with Adeline and Zoey… they'll soon be here,” Abigail remarked and placed the fruit basket on the table. Laura helped Nathan sit up and then stood beside him. “I see… How is mom?” Nathan asked, he didn't want anyone telling his mom about the accident. Unfortunately, Carl was the one who told them about it“She wanted to come, but I asked her to relax… She insisted Nate…she's worried about you,” Abigail said turning to Nathan, it was awkward standing there, especially when Laura was standing close to Nathan protectively. “She shouldn't worry, Nate is fine…,” Laura chimed in while rubbing her hand on Nathan's shoulder. It was a simple gesture, but Abigail saw something else“Laura, you sh
Nathan was lying in bed, and for the first time, he was glad to be home. The hospital was not his favorite place. It was crowded and filled with equipment, which frightened him. After the doctor discharged him. He was brought back home“Okay, so which part should I start with?” Laura asked once she came back from the bathroom carrying a basin of water and a white cloth. Nathan let out low groans as he shifted a little, so he could get comfortable, “Umm, I'm not broken… I can walk and bathe myself,” he replied, arching his brows at her. She ignored him and placed the basin on the bed beside him. Nathan shifted his gaze down and the water seemed hot. The woman was wearing gray leggings with a white vest and her hair tied in a bun. There was something about her appearance he found quite intriguing. Her voluptuous figure had him averting his eyes. For goodness' sake, he was a man who wasn't concerned with a woman's external appearance. The heart mattered more than the appearance, But La
Nathan was perplexed when he woke up in the morning to hear it was his birthday. His sisters called him to wish him a happy birthday, He wasn't one to celebrate his birthday. Hence, he didn't mind. Since he had recovered. He had to go back to workWhen he woke up, he didn't see Laura anyway. The woman had been busy lately, he wanted to ask what she was up to but dropped the idea“Garry, where is your boss?” Nathan asked when he met Garry on his way outside. The entire house was quiet. Nathan wondered where the noisy people had gone to“Sir, madam is in the garden talking to lawyer Gael,” Garry answered calmly, Nathan nodded and let out a sigh. Garry bowed respectfully and left. Nathan went back to the room to get ready. If Laura was busy, he could get ready and go to the office. Nathan called Robert on his way to take a shower. Unfortunately, the man wasn't answering his phone. One thing was bothering him, he hated the idea of that lawyer spending time with Laura. He wasn't a fool
Night approached quickly, the Larson mansion was decorated beautifully as various cars drove straight in after being checked by the security men. Garry and his men were on guard as per Laura's order“Sis, why are you even making this a big deal,” Camila asked when she came to ⁰Laura's room and found her getting ready,“Camila, I thought we talked about this… go downstairs and welcome the guests, I don't want anything to go wrong,” Laura said while applying her makeup, she decided to go for a simple dress“Sis come on… at least not this… I'm all dolled up. I can't stand and welcome guests,” Camila said, feeling irritated. She was looking beautiful. Why was Laura treating her badly“If you want to redeem yourself…why don't you do this huh… if you want your car back… go and welcome the guests,” Laura said nonchalantly and walked back to her bed? Camila frowned, knowing Laura trapped her. She saw the guests arriving and all of them were from well-known families. She wanted to avoid doing
“See, he's incompetent… I told you not to throw a party for him, “Elizabeth whispered coldly for Laura to hear. She just heard about Nathan refusing to attend his party. The entire family did so much for him, and he dared humiliate them in front of the guests “Mom, I'm okay… Nathan isn't doing…”“To hell with him, does he think our family is a joke… so many important people are here… do you think telling them the party is over will fix it,” Elizabeth cut her off because she could give any excuse to defend herself, to Nathan. He was a nobody to say no to something so extravagant. The Larson family had a reputation to uphold. Nathan was used to making a fool out of himself to mind about a good reputation “Mom, she'll only defend him… he's ungrateful,” Jeremy added as soon as he joined them. Laura was helpless, her mom insisted on dragging Nathan down. The guests were getting anxious and wondering where he was“It's either he stops acting like a fool and joins us… Or else, I'll make su
The entire room was in chaos once the police showed up, Nathan's family rushed to him, not sure why the police wanted to arrest him. Claire was going crazy as tears lingered in her eyes“I'm sorry, but your son is under arrest,” the man said sternly “You can't take my son, he's innocent…whatever it is you people just want to cause him harm,” Claire spat out and held Nathan close to her, she was his mother. Her son was innocent. Nathan didn't engage in any illegal activities, “My brother is innocent… I dare you to fake a step and arrest him,” Adeline and Zoey chimed in and shielded Nathan, “Please move aside… Mr. Dawson, kindly cooperate with us,” the police inspector said coldly, Nathan knew someone was trying to frame him. It was pointless defending himself when there was a bigger fish somewhere pulling the strings“Is this a joke to you, are you insane…this is my family…how dare you accuse my husband of such a thing!” Laura yelled as she stepped in front of Nathan, preventing the
