Heather cried out in pain. “My leg, it hurts so bad!”Christina was shocked to see Heather rolling down the stairs, but did not do anything when she saw Michael coming. As she took big steps, Christina strode forward with her son in her arms.Following closely behind her were Matthew and Ariel. As the three walked up to the front desk, Christina declared her identity to the nurse and requested for them to discharge Travis Larson immediately.A crease formed on the nurse’s forehead. “Do you have anything to prove that you’re the child’s mother?”“Yes. Let me show you my driving license and Travis’s birth certificate.” Christina rushed to take out the documents from her leather handbag. Since she had just gotten off the airplane, she had brought along her driving license and her son’s birth certificate to prove their relationship whenever it was required.After the nurse went through the documents, she said, “The child isn’t very stable emotionally now, and I advise you not to rush
After all, Serena had just got out of surgery, and Winona was worried if she could take in this news. It was better to keep things to herself first, and she could always come to a decision later on.Winona was not idle either as she started to think of ways to indoctrinate ideas into Heather. When the time was right, she would make sure that Michael and Christina tear each other down and then take advantage of their fight and reap benefits from that. While Winona was coming up with malicious plans, Heather called and told her that she was injured and lying in a hospital now. Winona headed out to visit her as soon as she heard this.Heather was lying on the hospital bed, steaming over with frustration that she had broken her leg. It did not feel good and upon seeing her confidant, she immediately let Winona in the details of what had happened to her earlier. “Christina that d*mn wr*tch! I’ll never let her off the hook! I’ve already lodged a report at the police station and I’ll ne
“Let’s bring Travis over to my house first, Christina. I’ll find a family doctor to look after him so everything would be fine. I’m pretty sure they won’t break into my home for Travis no matter how haughty they are.”This was a better idea, and Ariel took it that Christina agreed to it. “This is the better option, Christina. If we send Travis back to the hospital, Michael would track him down and then problems would arise again.”Christina was put in a difficult position. “I think I’ll bring Travis home first. I’ll decide about it later.”This was the safer option, and Travis would receive better treatment there. However, there was a slight problem with this as it was Matthew’s home, and it seemed rather inappropriate to do this.Putting aside the fact that things were awkward between them, Matthew was engaged to Rachel, and she would give Christina a hard time if she learned that they were living at his place.Besides, none of them would benefit if news about this was leaked.M
The two discussed what they would do next. The key to success was John, and Sophia must make sure that he would stay on her side. There must not be a single loophole at all.Heather had listened to what Winona said and was convinced that Christina was wrong. She must teach the woman a lesson and show her what she was capable of.Heather found a lawyer and enquired about the duration that Christina would be jailed if they went to court. After all, Christina was the one who had hurt her intentionally.After analyzing what had happened, the lawyer said that if everything Heather said was true, then Christina would be a criminal. She would be given a three-year term in jail unless Heather was willing to settle things out of court.Heather was now extremely confident that she could end Christina with just a snap of her fingers.She must make Christina kneel to her and beg for her forgiveness this time. If she did not do so, then Heather would give Christina a taste of how prison felt l
Christina would rather bear the legal consequences of her actions than apologize to Heather.‘That prick! How could she be so stubborn! It’s just an apology and it’s not like I asked for her life!’ Heather thought to herself. Should she really put Christina in jail? After all, the woman was pregnant with her own grandchild. If her future grandchild learned that Heather was the one that had forced his mother to go to jail, Heather could only imagine the hate he would hold against her. It was just that what was done had already been done, and she could not change the past. Even if she regretted her actions, someone had to give her an out too.On the other hand, Michael did not even visit her, and she did not want to call him up to tell him what was on her mind. Just as Heather was getting anxious, her lawyer visited her at the hospital and told her that Christina’s lawyer had applied for the Royal Prerogative of Mercy and that Christina did not have to go to jail.Although Heather
Christina was currently safe. Just as John was about to buy his grandson a gift and visit them, he received a call from Winona.John did not have a good impression of Winona. “What do you want?”“I want to tell you something about Christina.”“Since when do you care about Christina?” John smiled coldly.Winona and Molly used to be enemies who hated one another, and something seemed off for Winona to suddenly take an interest in Christina’s affairs.“Do you know why Christina had a falling out with Michael?” Winona ignored his sarcasm.“You know?”“Of course I do. I saw Heather today and she told me everything about it.”John met Winona in a coffee shop, and she told him everything that had happened.“Michael had a mistress named Suzy. I’m pretty sure you heard about this. When she saw that Michael reconciled with Christina, Suzy started to hate him and drugged Michael...”The light from John’s face instantly died out the moment Winona opened her mouth. “What has this got to d
This commotion attracted the attention of other customers, and everyone laid their eyes on Winona. As she thought of John who was sitting inside the private room, she did not continue to make a fuss and left the coffee shop in a scurry.After she left, John walked out and left in a hurry too.“Hey, isn’t that Mayor John?” Ariel’s colleague pointed towards John when he left the place.Ariel cast a glance at the man. “Yeah.”“What’s he doing at a place like this?”“The Mayor is a human being too and has his own life. What’s wrong with him having a drink here?”“No, not that. Do you remember the fierce woman who hit the waiter earlier on? She came out from the same private room.”Ariel had seen Winona hitting the waiter earlier on and did not put too much thought into it. Since her colleague mentioned it, she realized that something was off. It did not seem normal for Winona to meet up with John.John headed straight home after he left the coffee shop. Seeing his return, Sophia we
“If you don’t want anyone else to know what you’ve done, then you shouldn’t have done it at all in the first place. Don’t you understand this?”“What’s going on?” Sophia pretended to look panicked as she rushed over to them.“Look at what you’ve taught your daughter to do.” If looks could kill, Sophia would be dead by now.“It’s all my fault, Pops! This has nothing to do with mother. She doesn’t know about anything so you should scold me instead!” Serena knelt dramatically on the floor with a loud thud. “I’ll explain to Christina that none of this is Michael’s fault!”“Explain what? Do you think your explanation would mend their relationship?”John looked disgustedly at Serena. “Don’t you ever think of leaving this house from now onward!” After saying this, John furiously rushed into his study and shut the door. As Sophia reached her hands out to pick Serena up, the duo shared a look and let out a satisfied grin.On the other side, Ariel headed back to Matthew’s villa after she
