Jade lightly pinched Tristan’s side to warn him. “They are my second family!” She whispered softly.Tristan forced a smile at Tyler and shook his hand. “Hello, buddy.”“Tsk, you don’t need to be nice just because there is someone else and your girlfriend is in front of you,” Tyler commented gruffly. “You’re really stupid! If you don’t—” Tristan couldn’t continue speaking when the two adults suddenly looked at him. He smiled at them and explained. “He wants to take my girlfriend away from me.” Jade scratched her head in shame, and her boyfriend acted as if he were a child, and he was reporting to Tyler’s parents when he had just met them.Romualdo was sad, and someone else owned the woman he wanted for his son. Tyler had already told them about the man. At first, he was worried because he knew the man’s family background. But what he saw now made him feel at ease. He is now reassured because it can protect Jade. He smiled at the man, accepted his hand in a handshake, and formally int
“Honey, I’m sorry, but I didn’t know that Dr. Cuevas prescribed you the wrong medicine. But don’t worry, because the police have already arrested him.” Luke closed his eyes and didn’t know what to think because of what was happening. He is angry with Jade for thinking that she only wants to destroy his marriage to Liza. Even if he deceives himself and doesn’t believe what the doctor says, his vision is really getting blurry. He thought it was normal with aging. “Honey, is something hurting you?” Liza asked her husband worriedly. Luke grabbed his head, and he felt a pain. “You all go out first, and the patient needs to rest.” The doctor asked everyone there. Their presence does not help the patient today.“No, doc, my husband needs me!” Liza refused stunbornly. She is afraid of what the doctor might say when she is not around. Tristan signaled the staff to let Liza out, even though she didn’t want to. The room is big, but the noise of the drama between the two makes the area seem
Jade woke up when a nurse came in. She looked at her father’s dextrose and temperature for a moment. She just signaled for her to come out and didn’t make any noise because everyone there was already asleep. She wants to laugh at her stepmother and sister instead of feeling sorry for them. They definitely didn’t leave, but they couldn’t stand for one of them to stay awake. Both were asleep and had their heads down on the side of her father’s bed. Remembering where she was sleeping, she quickly looked up. She pityingly observed the young man, who was also sleeping while leaning on the sofa. When she looked at her watch, it was only three a.m. She got up and woke him up. ”Tristan, you lie down on the sofa.” She patted the young man gently on the cheek. “Uhmmm...” The young man responded with only a low grunt while keeping his eyes closed.She woke him up several times, but he didn’t want to wake up. She smiled while staring at the young man’s lips. She kissed it lightly, just to wake
“And you can see when that doctor injected me with sleeping pills so that Daddy wouldn’t be taken and transferred to the operating room.” Jade’s teeth gritted as she spoke because of the anger she felt. “Is what Jade is saying true?” Luke stared at his wife and another child. Liza didn’t know what to say, so she just started crying. “Dad, we were also shocked by what the doctor did yesterday.” Debora explained nervously. “Were you also surprised when you hid Jade in the bathroom?” Tristan asked insultingly. He had been holding back from punching the two women, who were so good at storytelling.Luke weakly let go of his wife’s grip on his palm. He could not accept the gradual clarity and emergence of truth. “If I hadn’t forced the bathroom open, I wouldn’t have found Jade unconscious sitting in a wheelchair!” The tone of the young man’s voice rose slightly. Debora was scared and huddled next to her mother, and she was afraid of Tristan. If Jade hadn’t held him, he might have appr
“Why?”Jade cried again and weakly hit her sister on the arm. “Why did you inherit your mother’s greed?” “I’m sorry!” Jade quickly shook her sister’s hand when she tried to hold her by the arm. Tristan just stayed next to his girlfriend and weighed the situation. He let Jade scold her sister to release her resentment and anger. “I don’t want to go to jail, Jade!” She kneeled before her sister and begged. They no longer escape from a case against them because it was also discovered that her mother stole from the farm treasury. But about the transfer of the inheritance to her name, which was supposedly for Jade, she had just found out about that.Jade moved when Debora hugged her thigh. But she held her tightly while crying. She closed her eyes as she felt pity and guilt for her sister. Even though she doesn’t like her and hates her mother, Debora is still her sister. They both inherited it from their father, so they look alike. “Debora, why are you apologizing to that woman? We hav
“Dad, how are you feeling?” Jade asked her father worriedly when he opened his eyes. Earlier, he lost consciousness when he knew that the police had arrested his wife and Debora. Luke looked around sadly, hoping to see her family. He still couldn’t accept that his wife wanted to kill him, especially his daughter, Debora. Jade caressed her father’s cheek and understood his feelings. “Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to destroy your family, but I won’t let them harm you because of the wealth you’ll leave me.” Luke’s tears fell, and he stared at his daughter. “You are innocent, and I do not blame you.”Tristan breathed a sigh of relief at what he heard, and he just quietly listened to the father and daughter’s conversation. Fortunately, the gentleman did not make a mistake in speaking. If he blames his girlfriend, he might punch him, even though he is sick. “Dad, thank you! I will not leave you, and I will take care of you.” Jade cried and hugged her father. “Babe, what about me?” Tri
Liza was still able to clench her hand tightly while in handcuffs and in deep thought. She glanced again at her daughter, who was still silently crying, before turning to their lawyer. “Mrs. Sober, this is the last option I can advise you to reduce the sentence that the law will impose on you.” The persuasion by the lawyer who was sent by Luke. “What about my daughter? Won’t she go to jail if I admit all the crimes?” Liza is still not convinced about her daughter. Debora looked up and felt sorry for her mother. She already knows her plan, and it hurts her. It’s also her fault that her mother did something bad. She was the first to not accept that she would only receive a little part of her inheritance from her father because she was an illegitimate child. But now she realizes that Jade is left with a lot more because of her mother’s shares. “Mom, what will happen after I go out without you?”Liza reached for the hand of her daughter, who was also handcuffed, and squeezed it. “Your
After taking a shower, Jade went to Tristan’s room. She didn’t knock, and she brought her key card. When she entered, he didn’t even bother to look at her, and he kept his eyes focused on the laptop. It didn’t seem like he was going to go to sleep right away, like she expected. The white towel is still hanging on his shoulders, and his wet hair has not been combed. She passed in front of the young man and tried to disturb him. But he was still busy typing on the laptop keyboard. She took something to eat and pointed it in front of his mouth. Tristan glanced at his girlfriend for a moment and accepted the chips she was giving him. “Thank you, babe. You can go to bed early if you’re sleepy.”Jade sighed and lay down on the sofa where the young man was sitting. She laid her head down on his thigh, and he just let her be. It seems that what she is doing to disturb him is not effective, so she gets up again and hugs him. Tristan sighed softly and glanced at his girlfriend. It has been e
