Mr Xi watched as the doctor prepare himself, getting ready to perform surgery on his daughter, alongside Doctor George, who agreed to help out since none of his friends were willing to assist.At first, he turned down Mr Xi because the doctor he was about to assist had his license ceased. But then he knew Mr Xi wouldn't ask him for such a favor if the patient meant nothing to him.As soon as they were about to begin, the doctor's turned to him, ready to send him away."I think you should go home, I don't think it's best for you to stay." George suggested, and looked at his colleague who quickly responded."He is right, we will do our best, just put your trust in us." He backed him up."I don't mind staying, I will wait, until the surgery is over. I will stay behind." Mr Xi insisted, and he meant it."You and I know I have never lost a patient on my table, same for your friend here, just trust us and go.""You should head home, it's late already. Your family needs you most, you have to
It's been past ten minutes, and the girls are not yet out of their room. Alley got tired of standing and plopped on the couch to rest her legs. She picked up the TV control close to her, and put on the news, her eyes glued to it. "Girls be fast, jasper will soon be here." Alley called out to them, her eyes not leaving the screen. "We're almost done, Aunt Alley." Lailah responded. And a few minutes after she responded, they marched out dressed in marching outfits. Alley retracted her gaze to their direction, immediately she came into view with them, her lips parted. "What are you putting on? Are you not heading to school?" She was scanning them one after another, waiting for a reply. "Mariyah was with your eyes, why are they swollen?" Maria quickly tapped Hilda to come up with something to tell her, she never expected such a question. Her eyes seemed a bit swollen, but she didn't think it was that obvious. Mariyah and Hilda stayed up last night working on Charlotte's laptop, still
"You have to stay and get enough rest, you can't leave like this, you're still not strong enough to go out.""What are my doing here when I have a family to protect. I called jasper, he is on his to come pick me up." Xavier pulled out the syringe from his hands, and used the white cotton to wipe the blood off.He walked to the bedroom and rummaged through Alex's wardrobe, searching for an outfit to put on.Alex stepped aside, watching as he rummages his clothes, all for an outfit.After rummaging, he found something to put on, and pulled them out. He changed into the cloth's, and turned to Alex."Are you not going to shower? Don't tell me you're going to see your family in this state?""Your tricks won't work, I know this is a way of making me stay back, but it won't work. It's better I go, you have a company to work for, you can't keep coming to see me when you should be making a living.""I never complained, why are you trying to take away my headache? You should get better first, b
"What do you mean it could be Sofia? Why would she want to kill her? Have you forgotten what eventuate between them?" Scott asked."The both of them have been working together, she recently drugged Nate, and took him to the hotel, and everything was Sofia's request." Xavier responded."Bryan told me he was admitted, she must have over drugged him." He sighs. "But don't you think this is karma?" Alex asked, and entangled his hands."He did the same to you five years back to tarnish your image. God knows what Sofia might have done to him, she probably slept with him to use it for something."'I doubt she would sleep with him, what would she need it for?' Xavier thought."What are you both talking about? When did this happen? How come I'm not aware of all this?" Scott finally spoke up to feed his curiosity."Stay out of it, this has nothing to do with you. Besides, you were out of California, you went after your dreams and abandoned everything behind, how would you know?" Alex rubbed it
A car came to a halt, and put off its car engine. Margaret hurried out of the driver's seat, and spin to the passenger's side to get the door.She held the door, and pulled it open, revealing a smiling Matilda, who nodded at her with a thank-you.Matilda stepped out of the car, and helped Charlotte gradually ease her step down."Thank you, Mrs Margaret, we really do appreciate." Charlotte said, holding closely to her mother, in order not to slump."It's okay, go ahead, I will help carry the bag." Matilda nodded, and guided her daughter into the house, with Margaret trailing behind them.Hilda was in the living room watching her favorite cartoon, when she heard the door flung up, and quickly retracted her gaze to see her mummy."Mummy has been discharged." She squeaks, and jumped down from the couch, striding closer to hug her.Her sister's also came running from their room when they heard her voice. It was a sign to tell them that they needed to stop what ever they were doing."Good d
The prolonged wait gradually came to an end, it was almost time for the plane to leave the airport and there was still no sight of Charlotte.Sebastian spun around, painstakingly checking if he could see her somewhere standing, but to no avail, he did not sight her.He picked up his bag with a heavy heart, and took one last glimpse at the entrance of the airport.'You have to go now, Charlotte won't be coming to see you. It's over between the both of you' His subconscious muttered, and a sad smile tugged at the corner of his lips.He gulped, and turned on his heels, striding in the direction of his plane. Unbeknownst to him, Charlotte has been seated for more than an hour alongside Xavier disguised as a man watching him seated waiting for her.Charlotte buried her gaze to the ground, immediately he led his way to the plane. She would rather not see him walk through the exit.The warm tears that were trying to fall down her cheeks finally began to drop and she sniffed.Xavier crawled h
