Christina and Emma walked suddenly into the room, and Christina said in a cold tone.
“Your baby is gone!”
They looked coldly at Sarah, and in a scorning tone, Christina continued. “You bring your misfortunes upon yourself!”
“Mom, how can you do this to Sarah? She just woke up, how can you say that?”
Charles stood up and stopped her, angry with his mother’s rude behaviors and hurtful words.
Sarah looked blankly at Christina. Her face turned pale. She shook her head and said in a barely audible voice.
“No, I don’t believe… I don’t believe you… Y
Mr. Thomas was terminally ill, and his greatest wish was to see Charles well established professionally and personally, happily married and with a family before he passed away. He had been looking forward to the birth of his first grandchild. Knowing that Sarah was pregnant had given him hope. He had proudly told all his friends and acquaintances about the expected arrival of his grandson, but none of them knew that Sarah had suffered a miscarriage.His hopes and dreams had vanished. How could his weak heart suffer so much pain?When he first heard the news of Sarah's miscarriage, Mr. Thomas fell into a coma, and the doctors had to use every available means to bring him back, but even after he woke up, his mental state was just as worrisome as his physical as he was becoming less and
Christina almost fainted. Fortunately, this time there were nurses close by to steady her and prevent her from falling. She cried out loud and hurried towards her husband.Emma also cried, “Dad… Dad… ” As she runs toward his bedside.Charles and Sarah followed them quietly. All four were standing around Mr. Thomas’s bed, looking at him and crying. He was wearing an oxygen mask and an IV drip on his right hand, his eyes closed, and his face was pale as if he was already gone.Together, they managed to wake him up with some effort. He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at them, slowly moving his eyes from one to another. From his expression, i
The following days were gloomy. Outside, it was rainy, the weather was cold, and winter was approaching. Sarah felt terrible after everything that had happened recently. First, she had suffered a miscarriage, and then shortly after, Mr. Thomas had died, leaving her feeling empty and guilty from the inside.Charles was worried about Sarah. Since there was no need for them to stay in Los Angeles anymore, he decided to move back to Huston even though he had inherited his father's company, but Sarah's health was more valuable to him than anything else.After everything they had gone through, Charles had learned that once you lose a loved one, the clock can't be turned back. It's difficult to heal the wounds after losing a family member. There had been so many misunderstandings between him and Sarah, to a point where they had almost given up on each other. Fortunate
Sarah sneered, “Can you swear it’s only my fault and that you have nothing to do with it? Christina, even though you have a good reputation in Los Angeles, you can’t hide after the bad things you have done now. If you can employ a detective, then why can’t I?”Charles finally came up toward Sarah and took her hand. “Sarah, did you hire an investigator? What evidence do you have? Did my mom really have something to do with it?”“Charles, I’m your mother. I gave life to you and raised you. Even if you're ungrateful, you couldn’t listen to this envious woman trying to blame me for her mistakes!” Christina yelled at Charles.
Fortunately, Charles’s car was new with a powerful engine, stopping at a very short distance, preventing them from crashing.The two cars nearly hit, almost like a warning. Both Sarah and Charles were startled and broke out in a cold sweat.Charles got out of the car to ask the driver what happened, but before he reached the vehicle, a group of strong men, masked with black stockings, rushed out of the woods, and one of them hit Charles on the back of the head with something heavy. Charles fainted immediately.Sarah had been watching them and yelled, “Charles!” and was about to get off to help him when one of the masked men opened the car and pulled her out. Sarah finally understood what was going on. Trying to resist, she firmly gra
She was terrified, but if she wanted to save herself, she had to remain calm. No one was there to save her now. She had to depend on herself.After she remained quiet for a while, the man stood up, turned around, and said to another guy behind him, “Turn on the radio, let her listen to it!”The radio was turned on, and Sarah heard Charles’s voice, “Mr. Roberts, are these the results of your investigation?”“Yes!” Another voice responded.Charles didn’t respond, but the sound of turning paper was heard. Then, the sound of a pen being thrown on the table was heard. He seemed to be very stressed.Mr. Roberts asked, “Is there something you don’t like?”
Charles looked worried. Sarah clearly heard him sigh genuinely before he said, “I don’t understand why Sarah did this to me. I really don’t know. Am I not good enough for her?”Emma comforted him. “Don’t be a sad brother. That woman is not worthy of you. She doesn't value you or all you have done for her. You went after her, giving in to her demands over and over again, but she continued to lose her temper with you. You see, you should be glad she left you this time!”Charles sat down on the grass near the highway, with hands in his hair in desperation. In a sad tone, he continued. “What did I do wrong for her to hurt our child and leave me? She told me the abortion was a planned attack on her, but it never crossed my mind that she did it a
"Every time he suspects you of something, you will get hurt deeper and deeper. Is it worth it? We were hired to do a job, and we are going to finish it. I tried to reason with you and to leave Charles willingly. If you think about it, I’m quite helpful to you, right? I'm actually helping you to unveil the real Charles in front of you, you should be grateful to have this chance to escape. Isn't it better for you to just leave now while you still can?”Sarah spits on his face in response. That criminal burst in anger and slapped her face, scorning, “I'm done with you, I have other things to tend to. I'll give you two days to think about what you want to do next. If you still refuse to reason at the end of two days, I will kill you without hesitating. I'm wasting my time trying to talk sense into a silly woman like you!”
Charles seemed satisfied with her answer. He hugged her and kissed her forehead as he said, “Maybe tomorrow… You’ll see something different!”Something different? What was different about Christina? Sarah didn’t understand what he meant but was reluctant to think about it any further. Their road ahead was still uncertain in terms of what Christina was concerned about. For now, she was tired and didn’t want to think about anything frightening.The next morning Charles got up early but didn't disturb Sarah. Their maid prepared breakfast for them, and when everything was ready, Charles went to wake Sarah up. When Sarah woke up, she found that it was only seven o’clock in the morning. It was still so early, so she asked, “Why did you get up so early?&r
It had been six months since Sarah gave Charles one last chance at the airport. They now were living happy and in love, far away from Christina and Emma. Their life had finally turned peaceful again, even though Charles was very busy maintaining two companies.Christina was serving a 3-year prison sentence, and Emma had gone to travel.Every night when Charles came home late, he looked exhausted to the point that he could hardly open his eyes. Sarah felt bad for him, but there was nothing she could do to alleviate his workload.As the only son, Charles was responsible for continuing the family business. The was now the head of both Thomas companies, and Sarah understood what he was going through.Previously she had been furious when he mentioned that his aunt would
It was 1:20 p.m. Sarah's flight had started boarding.Sarah got up, took her luggage, and was about to queue for the final security check before boarding, when suddenly someone stepped in front of her and grabbed her bags, preventing her from leaving.Sarah looked up and saw Charles’s aunt in front of her. Surprised, she asked coldly, “Aunt… You…What are you doing?”Her aunt simply responded. “Let’s talk!”Sarah looked at her for a moment and understood her intentions, then lowered her head and said. “No, I know what you want, but I’ve decided to leave for good. Charles and I brok
The police advised Charles to leave. Charles glanced at his mother but couldn't tolerate seeing her out of control and turned to leave. Christina's screams were heard from the outside as she resisted the police who were handcuffing her until she finally collapsed in sadness and anger.Charles turned to the wall, lowered his head, and punched the wall fiercely with his fist, decadent and frustrated. No matter what, that woman was his mother. Despite everything she had done to him, he still felt sad to see her in this condition.Daniel walked toward him and patted him on the shoulder. “I know it's hard. If it helps, cry it out. She is your mom after all, and nobody will blame you for feeling this way.”Charles turned around and looked at Daniel with red and wet eyes. It was evident that he was crying insid
Charles didn’t answer any of their questions. Instead, he took a microphone and looked straight at the camera with a worried and sad expression. After a long silence, he finally said.“You will get the answers to your questions later. For now, I need to say something. Sarah, where are you now? I’m sorry, but I’ve been waiting for you to come back. Are you watching this? I’ve been waiting for you. Can you hear me?” His eyes were filled with love and desperation. He looked gaunt and as if he was suffering from something. He looked like he was searching and waiting for her. His words sounded so sincere as if he was willing to do anything for her to come back.When seeing it, Sarah became even sadder and started to cry. She quickly wiped her tears and turned to leave in silence, without looking back.
Sarah answered in a hurry, “I'm not escaping, I just want to see the news. Something is going on, and I need to see it! Please let me see the news.” Sarah threw all her belongings and started to run.The two guys were about to chase her but had to be careful not to attract unwanted attention from the secret police patrolling the airport. However, as soon as those policemen saw them, they communicated through their walkie-talkie and came towards them as if they knew who they were, and we're going to arrest them.Surprised, one of the criminals asked. “What’s going on? The cops are coming towards us!”The other criminal looked toward the cops and said. “Stay calm, maybe they are not after us. We have to remain calm!”More and more
He owed her the promise of a happy life. Knowing that he couldn’t keep his promise to her anymore, given that they had no future together, she wanted to go to Texas and see the tulips by herself, and then from there to the Maldives, just like they had planned before everything had fallen apart. She was going to achieve her dreams, and on the way, forgets about Charles. She wasn't willing to live in regrets for the rest of her life.Once the gang leader noticed that Sarah had figured out a plan, he immediately became kind to her, “Okay, you can go anywhere you want. We’ll handle all the formalities right now. You’d better leave right away and never come back. Charles can never see you again!”Sarah was still numb but answered dazedly, “If I leave, I won’t

Charles looked worried. Sarah clearly heard him sigh genuinely before he said, “I don’t understand why Sarah did this to me. I really don’t know. Am I not good enough for her?”Emma comforted him. “Don’t be a sad brother. That woman is not worthy of you. She doesn't value you or all you have done for her.
