Briana reported to work that morning and experienced a dizzy spell while working. It's a good thing the dizziness only lasted for fifteen minutes; she was fine the rest of the morning.
During lunch time, she and Scott ate lunch together in the cafeteria.
"I'm going out this afternoon," she told him.
"Where are you going?" Scott asked.
"I'm going to visit the clinic and then proceed to the hospital to visit Jack," she explained.
Scott stopped eating and looked at Briana. "You are going to ask the doctor why you are experiencing dizziness?"
"Yes," Briana replied.
Scott and Briana finally arrived at their destination. They got out of the hospital and entered the hospital. They went to the second floor, arrived in the ICU, and asked the nurses permission to see Jack. The nurse drew the curtain so that visitors could see the patients outside the room through the glass wall."I'll be in the chair, take your time, Bri," Scott said."Okay," Briana replied with a nod of her head.Scott settled on the waiting chair nearby and texted someone in the office to ask if something came up while he and Briana were out of the building. The person he texted replied that everything was okay in the company.After checking his emails, he put his phone in the pocket of his coat and shifted his attention to Briana, watching her closely for any signs that she was feeling dizzy. He needs to be alert so that he can be by her side when she needs someone to lean on.Briana watched Jack's chest move up and down, the only proof that he
When they arrived at the company, the workplace was deserted; all the employees had already gone home."I will accompany you upstairs," Scott offered."Not yet, I need to rest in my room first, I feel dizzy again," Brian said, proceeding to her room.Scott followed her into her room, getting worried about her condition. "You haven't taken your medicine yet, the one that the doctor prescribed you today?" he asked."Not yet," Briana answered, resting her head on her desk as the world began spinning around her."Where is the medicine?" he asked."In the pocket of my bag," Briana replied, closing her eyes.
Meanwhile, Scott was back in his office, and he made a happy dance around the room. He can't believe that he succeeded in persuading Briana to accept him as her second option, just in case Jack suddenly passes away.He felt like he had just won a huge lottery jackpot!He can't contain his happiness. No matter what happens in the future, he will always remember this lucky day—the day when Briana finally granted him her forgiveness and also gave him another gift—a promise that if something bad happens to Jack and he passes away, she will return to his arms.Wow!Such a fantastic feeling! He can't stop smiling.He stayed in his office for one hour, lying on the couch where Briana lay before, imagining himself embracing her on the couch. How nice would it be if they had a child together?He looked heavenward and said, "God, please grant one of my greatest wishes. I want to have a child with Briana someday! Please grant my wish! Thank
The following day, Scott reported to work in a joyful mood. The intimate fantasy he had with Briana last night, immortalized in his mind, made him feel elated. A wonderful feeling that never fades away and paints a happy memory in his mind, making him energetic and inspired. He dropped by Briana's room just to greet her. "Hi, Bri! Good morning!" he said merrily. Briana raised her head and looked at her visitor. "Morning, Scott. Why do you look happy today?" she asked. "Because of you, my life is getting better every day," he said in a singsong voice. Briana sighed and rolled her eyes. "Did you come here to say something?" she asked. Scott nodded his head. "Yup! I will be going to the mall after work is over to buy some groceries. Would you like to go with me?" Briana pondered his question for a moment. "I'll think about it. I'll inform you later," she replied. "Alright, I'm going to my office now. See you later," Scott said. "See, yeah," Briana replied. Scott left the room an
"Dad, I'm home!" Briana said, carrying her grocery bags as she passed by on the couch. George looked at his daughter. "How is it?" he asked. She said, "What, Dad?" after a brief moment of confusion. "Your date with Scott in the mall," George stated casually. Briana's eyes widened in surprise after hearing her father's statement. "Huh? We are not dating. We just go to the mall together to buy some groceries," she explained. "Ah, okay. I thought you and Scott were dating again-?" George pressed on. Briana shook her head. "No, we're not!" she vehemently denied her father's suspicion. "Daughter, I approved Scott for you, so if you and him are dating again, then go for it! You have my blessing," George said with a smile. "Yes, dear, I also approved Scott for you. We can be a big, happy family," Rosita chimed in from behind. Stunned, Briana turned around and came face-to-face with her stepmother. Jack told her once that her mother knew about their affair. But why was she pushing her
Suddenly, there were knocks on the door. The women's attention was drawn to the door."Wife, I'm going to sleep now," George said outside the door."I'm coming," Rosita replied, quickly looking at her stepdaughter. "Think about what I have told you this evening. Jack may or may not wake up anymore, so your best choice is Scott. Don't waste your time on my son anymore. Free yourself from the pain while you still can," she said, rising to her feet. She walked towards the door without looking back at her stepdaughter, who was looking distraught.Rosita opened the door and stepped outside, wearing a calm charade on her face."What are you and my daughter talking about?" George curiously asked."We discuss things about the company. I want to know everything down there because I will become busy once my son is home. We finished our conversation because she wanted to go to sleep early," Rosita explained."Ah, okay. I'm going to sleep. How about you
Saturday finally comes.It was a beautiful sunny morning when the ambulance carrying Jack's immobile body arrived at the Erros Building at 10:00 in the morning.Under Rosita and George's watchful eyes, the hospital staff gently removed the hospital bed with Jack's body on it from the ambulance and brought it inside the building. They rode the elevator and went to the 5th floor.A few minutes later, the hospital staff successfully settled Jack comfortably in his room.The head nurse, who is in charge of the relocation, gave the couple a short lecture about the dos and don'ts of taking care of comatose patients. "Ma'am, we have already discussed extensively these things in the hospital, and I'm just refreshing your memory about them. Don't worry, if you forgot something, this handbook is for you as guidelines on how you can take care of your son properly, effectively, and safely. And don't forget, I'm just a phone call away if you need to ask about somethin
Briana was back in her room.Scott was confused about why she was acting disappointed and sad the moment she was out of Jack's room. "Are you okay?" he asked, wanting to know why her mood changed for no apparent reason at all.Briana took a deep breath. "I'm fine, you can leave now," she replied, powering on her computer and getting ready to resume work."Ah, by the way, I just want to remind you that we are going to meet a client this afternoon," he said.Briana looked at Scott warily. "Can you bring someone else, please?""Why?" Scott asked, raising a brow. It's the first time that Briana refuses to go out with him to a client meeting."I'm just not in the mood to go out today," she answered."Is it because of Jack? You should be happy today because he is back home, but you look sad and upset. Is there any problem? You can talk to me, I'm all ears," Scott said, trying to make her open up to him. "Maybe I can help you," he added.Briana sighed deeply, shaking her head, annoyed that i
Meanwhile, at the Erros Building in Brisham City...Jack, George, and Rosita were already waiting for Briana's return. The table in the dining room was laden with delicious foods as a celebration of her much-anticipated return back into the family fold.The trio was in the living room, watching TV and browsing their phones while waiting for Briana's arrival.Half an hour later.Suddenly, Jack's phone rang; the caller was Briana. "Babe, where are you now?""I'm already outside the building. I hope I'm not late," she said breathlessly, exiting her car and rushing to the building."I'm coming down to meet you!" Jack put his phone in the pocket of his jeans and came running to the door. He was gone in the blink of an eye.George and Rosita looked at each other and smiled."They're really meant for each other," Rosita commented casually while nuzzling baby Andrew's tiny feet."Indeed!" George seconded. "I think our sacrifice is worth it."Rosita smiled. "I think so."Downstairs, Jack and Br
The day that Briana was scheduled to leave the farm finally arrived. Scott's house was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.Briana spent the rest of her morning bonding with her beloved twins.Meanwhile, Scott spent his time brooding in his room, waiting for the inevitable. His heart was gradually dying inside as the seconds passed. He was so used to Briana's lovely presence in his life that it would be hard to see her gone, leaving him alone to deal with the heartbreaks, loneliness, and difficulty of raising their twins as a single parent.He wished that this day would never come, but it's finally happening before his very eyes.It was already lunchtime when the maid knocked outside the door. "Sir, lunch is ready!""OK." He replied in a bland voice.The maid went to Briana's room and announced the same, then went back downstairs to resume her work in the kitchen.A few minutes later, both Scott and Briana exited their rooms at the same time.Their eyes met.Briana sighed heavily upon no
Three days later.It was a hot Saturday afternoon.The farm was busy with activity. People were decorating the ground floor and placing the rented tables and chairs on the lawn of the house for the twins christening the next day.Scott was supervising the whole event along with the party planner that he had hired for the special occasion.Meanwhile...Briana, the twins, and their nannies were relaxing on the second floor of the house."Madam, I'll go down and get your snack from the kitchen," Marina offered."OK." Briana nodded her head.Briana studied Nanny Dorothy's features closely. She, like this particular woman, is so mature beyond her age. Dorothy is the oldest of 12 siblings and works on the farm as a nanny to help support her poor family.'She could be good wife material for Scott!' Her inner self spoke.And she wholeheartedly agreed.She bonded with the two nannies well, treating them with kindness and respect and cultivating their trust and friendship before leaving the far
It was already 3:00 a.m. in the morning.Scott was gazing lovingly at his adorable twins, Josh and Jolie, the names that he and Briana have chosen for their children. He planted a kiss on their cheeks. "I love you, babies!" Tears of happiness sprang from his eyes.He glanced at their mother, still sleeping on the bed. He may never get Briana as his wife, but she gifted him two beautiful children that will forever seal their fate together. They will always be a family, come what may. Their bond will be much stronger now that they both have children together.After some time, Scott realized that Briana must have been super hungry after she woke up from her slumber. He pushed the button on the intercom and ordered a light meal for the mother of his children. Then he continued gazing at his adorable babies.Fifteen minutes later, Briana finally woke up from her sleep. She looked around the room and saw Scott gazing at their twins in their newborn crib on the table next to the bed. "Scott,
The months passed quickly.Despite their difficult situation, Briana and Jack maintained solid communication with each other to make sure that they were really going back together no matter what the odds.One week before Briana was scheduled to give birth, she and Scott hired two single village women in their late 20s to become the twins nannies.Marina is 26 years old, while Dorothy is 27 years old; both are good-looking ladies."Girls, you can start working the day I finally give birth to my twins. We will inform you on that day," Briana told the women. "Are you excited to work here?" she asked.The two women smiled and nodded their heads. "Yes, Madam!""Good! That's all for now. You may go home now," Briana said, feeling relieved that she found two great women who she believed were fit to be the nannies to her twins. The first time she laid eyes on the women, she knew by intuition that they were good and gentle women who were capable of taking good care of her twins. Based on her in
Scott finally arrived at the farm before 6:00 in the evening."Sir, Ma'am Briana's boyfriend, named Jack, had come here a few hours ago." The guard informed his employer after opening the iron gate.Scott's eyes widened in shock. "Huh? Briana's boyfriend?" He roamed around the area, looking for his former boss. "Where is he?""He already left." The guard replied, scratching his head.Scott's heart beat so fast in his rib cage. "Did Briana come with him?" He asked apprehensively.The guard shook his head. "No. Ma'am Briana went back to the house while her boyfriend left in his car, going back to where he came from.""OK. Good!" Scott's face brightened up like a flashlight as huge relief washed over him. For a split second, he was afraid that Briana would leave the farm and go with Jack back to the city. He was glad and grateful that she stayed true to her words that she would deliver the baby before going home.He walked in a big strid
That afternoon, Scott went to the next town to buy farm supplies. Briana decided not to tell him about Jack's coming to the farm to avoid a confrontation between the two men. It's something that she can't afford to happen. She wanted to talk to Jack alone without Scott hovering around them like a phantom in the opera. A moment of peace with Jack is all she ever needs. Scott noticed that Briana was looking tense again. Worried about her state of mind, he asked, "Are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just go now," she replied with a smile to reinforce her statement that she was fine. "If you are not feeling well, I will just stay with you today and buy supplies tomorrow. Or you can come with me if you want," he offered. "Nah, you go ahead. I'm fine," she insisted. "Alright, I'll go now. Do you want anything? I can buy it for you in the store," he said. Briana shook her head. "I already have everything I need. You may go now." "OK. Take care of yourself, Bri! Call
Scott noticed that it took Briana so long to inform him about the result. Fifteen agonizing minutes had already passed.A growing suspicion tugged at his mind. If it were negative, she would be here by now, wearing a relieved expression on her face, informing him that it was negative.Unless...Unless the result is positive! She is pregnant with their child! That is why it took her so long to come out of the bathroom after conducting the test.He pressed his head on the door and listened for sounds inside the room; he heard faint sobbing!Is Briana crying? But why?His heart starts racing so fast! It only
One month later.Briana was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the morning sunshine after eating her breakfast. Scott went to the next town to buy some supplies for the farm, and she had chosen to remain in the house instead of going out with him.She unlocked her phone and sent a message to her father. 'Good morning, Dad!'A few minutes later, George entered the chat. 'Morning, daughter!''Is everything okay there? My son is okay?''Yes, everything is okay here, but there are some problems with Jack and Charlotte...'Briana's interest was piqued. 'What do you mean?'
