"I woke up early so I could catch up with you," I answered then shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh okay. Do you need anything? Money? No worries. I'm gonna transfer it to your account," Mommy said immediately, making me shake my head.

"Mom, no. I need to tell you something," I told her.

I don't need money because my account never runs out. That's not why I woke up early today either.

"Oh my gosh, Scarlet. Don't surprise me," she said while pouring tea into her cup.

"Listen to me carefully," I said and immediately saw Mommy nod at me.

"I just discovered last night that Stella already has a boyfriend. Is there someone who asks your permission to court our Stella?" I asked.

Mommy's eyes widened then she shook her head at me so I just nodded and sighed.

"Maybe that's not her boyfriend. You know your sister has a lot of friends. Just like you and Josiah, maybe they were just best friends," Mommy said so I shook my head one after another.

"Mom, no. And do you know what happened at our after

    "I'm leaving first. "I just have to go somewhere," Josiah said as we walked down the corridor to the library. "Where are you going?" I asked him. "I'm just passing by my group mates on a subject," he replied then immediately changed direction. When Clara and I looked at each other, I just rolled my eyes."I don't believe that Josiah is going to join his group mates. He's just going to see Stella," I said. Clara laughed while nodding at me before speaking. "You know him, don't you? I don't believe it either, so it's funny because he has to lie to us even though it's obvious that Stella is the one he's going to," Clara continued as she continued to laugh. "I can see how serious he is with Stella. In the few years I've been with Josiah, he doesn't pay attention to the women who're approaching him. He's loyal to Stella even though he's not sure that she'll like him back," I said, then shrugged. "You're right. I just don't understand why Stella's torturing Jos," she replied then sig

    "I'm sorry to hear that, Eli. So, you're going home to Clara's condo now?" he asked and I immediately shook my head. "Not yet because I'll be alone there. Maybe I'll just go to the grill and club first," I answered then shrugged my shoulders. "No, Eli. I know you're upset with your mother right now, but going to the club is not a solution, especially when you're alone," he told me. I didn't speak immediately because he was right. We just had a drink last night and I feel like the alcohol I drank is still in my stomach so I don't want to drink but I don't know where else to go now. "How about coming with me? To the place, I always go when I'm stressed. No one goes there and I'm sure you'll enjoy the view especially since it's late," he said again while smiling at me. "Where are we going?" I asked Stefan on the other line. I'm just following him in my car and he even called me on Instagram so we could talk even though we were both in different cars. I've been following him for a

    "Eli, can I request something before we leave here?" Stefan asked me. I frowned for a moment and wondered what request he would ask but I just shrugged my shoulders and nodded at him before answering him. "Yeah, sure. What is it?" I asked him. "Let's take a picture together," he replied, then showed me his phone. I suddenly laughed because I didn't expect his request to be just like that, which is why I nodded. "Sure. That's all," I told him. He is like a child who has been granted because I can see the joy in his expression as he puts it on the camera of his phone. When he fixed that, he approached me so that we could fit in the same frame. It had a front camera and he was counting every picture he took, but then he pressed the shutter one after the other, which is why I just hated him because of the number of pictures he took. "It's only one time so I'll make the most of it," he said then put it on the video because I was surprised. "Hi, guys! This is our first video togethe

    "Hmm, anyways. Stefan replied to me earlier. He asked me to tell you when you plan to follow him back on Instagram," Clara said to me when she got out of the bathroom. "You should follow him back tonight just to let him sleep with a smile. He's been chatting with me for a while and He's been asking you if you're asleep," she added. "I think I followed him back," I replied. "My gosh! Check it and maybe it's not yet," she said as she busily put skincare on her face. I just got tired and shook my head before I finally took the phone from the side table of Clara's bed. I immediately opened my Instagram messenger and saw that Stefan had many chats with me. I just opened it and took it to his profile to see if I had followed him but I saw that I hadn't so I clicked follow back so we could be friends there. His account is public and I saw a few of his posts there. Some are alone and others are with friends. He also has a lot of followers and I can't believe that even some actors and mode

    "Hi," she greeted me. She wasn't smiling at me when she greeted me so I don't know what she meant to me but when I saw her school ID I just smiled at her because we were both schoolmates. "Hello?" I greeted her back and I hesitated because I didn't know her."Do you know me?" She asked me with an arrogant voice that made me frown then shook my head at her."Nope. Do you need anything from me?" I asked her. She took a deep breath and was exhausted before answering my question. "Everyone knows me at school and you don't know me? How is that possible?" She said sarcastically, so I just shook my head. I don't know her. The university is huge and I will not be able to meet and see all the people there. If others know her, then I don't know her. And so what if many people at school know her? What does she need from me? "I don't know you. Another thing is that our university is very huge and I admit that I don't know everyone there. I'm sorry. What do you need from me?" I asked her fra

    "My clothes!" I said and didn't even bother myself. "Eli? What's happening here? What happened to you?!" Allison asked, who just arrived there. I didn't think Allison would come here, that's why I couldn't help but be nervous. Allison is braver than me, that's why I'm nervous about what she can do now. "N-Nothing, Allison. It was just an accident," I said to make excuses for her. "What do you mean it was an accident? I don't believe it. Alissa? Did you do this to my sister?!" Allison said one after the other. I looked at Alissa who is Stefan's ex and I saw the fear in her eyes while looking at Stefan. She shook her head as if asking Stefan for help. "Let's leave it alone. Let's not beat that girl," I said. Allison is graduating and maybe because of this fight, she will be destroyed. I don't want our mother to blame me again if Allison has a record in the dean's office. "Stefan, tell me what happened. Is it your ex who did this to Eli?" Allison asked Stefan. "Stefan," Alissa c

    "Many people see the two of you and I think we don't believe that you two aren't in a relationship because the two of you are together now," answered a woman there. I just shook my head again because I couldn't get other people. Why do they ask questions and then in the end they don't believe when they are being answered? "Guys, Eli and I are just friends. We're not in a romantic relationship and not because you see us being together does it mean that we're dating. We're not together so stop spreading false rumors," Stefan explained to them one after the other.I just nodded because he finally helped me to explain."The answer already came from both of us, so you should believe us and not hearsay," I said then bowed slightly to leave. "Even here on campus the marites won't disappear," Stefan said, then laughed. I frowned when I turned to him, "Marites?" I asked him."You don't know that term? You probably don't use social media, do you?" he asked me. I nodded and just shrugged my

    As I walked away, I couldn't stop grinning especially when Stella called me. I stopped there for a moment because I hadn't gone far enough before speaking. "I'll take care of Mommy and your driver. Josiah, take my sister home too!" I said to them."Yes, Sister Eli! I will!" Josiah answered me with a shout.I just rolled my eyes at Josiah and Stella called me again but I still ignored her. I also know that she wants to be with Josiah because she will not come here to my school just to tell me to go home to our house. Until the parking area, I was smiling because my friend was finally not so clumsy. That's good so that Stella can forget about her rude ex right away. At least, I have a lot of trust in Josiah. "Hi!"I almost jumped in shock when someone suddenly appeared at my side. I was still holding my chest because of the shock and I saw that it was Stefan! "Sorry. Are you surprised?" he asked while still laughing. "Isn't it obvious?" I asked him a complaint so he laughed again.

    "Won't your boyfriend be angry? I can explain to Yasmin that you can't join us," Stefan said as we walked to Yasmin's hospital room.I shook my head and smirked a little because he really believed that Lance was my boyfriend."There's nothing to be angry about. Don't mind about it, Stefan. It's okay. I assure you," I told him, and he smiled.He sighed and shook his head at me, as if I couldn't convince him that it was all right for me."I just don't want you to fight because of this," he answered when we finally entered Yasmin's room.I saw Yasmin's frown when she looked at us; that's why I smiled at her, because she seemed to have heard the last thing Stefan said."Get angry? Who gets angry? Is your mommy taking you away from us, Doc?" Yasmin asked one after the other.I quickly shook my head at her and looked at Stefan, who led me to walk. He immediately went straight to the table and put the paper bag he was carrying there."No, it's not her mother, Yasmin. I just said that, becaus

    "Come on, Eli. Tell me the truth. I won't be angry if you and Stefan get back together again," Josiah scolded me.I sighed and raised an eyebrow at him. I told him earlier that Stefan and I didn't get back together, but he didn't want to believe that."Stop it, Jos. We just talked. That's it," I answered him.We are now walking to a restaurant near the hospital. As usual, even when I'm outside, I know there are bodyguards following me. It was already dinner time, so we decided to eat outside because we had duty all night."Talked? You said that you already talked. I've seen you two talking so many times that's why you can't use an excuse that word to me," he said one after another as if he didn't really believe what I was saying.I shook my head again because I didn't know how I could convince him that Stefan and I really just talked earlier."If you don't want to believe me, then you better ask him by yourself. We really just talked for our closure, and we also talked about the false

    After coming from the precinct, I went straight to the hospital. Josiah immediately approached me to ask what happened."Stella mentioned to me that you are from the precinct. How are you? Have you talked to your dad's twin brother?" Josiah immediately asked me.I nodded and sighed."Yup. I have also introduced them to Tito Adler, and we still get to know him," I answered.Josiah nodded at me before he fixed his laboratory coat. He was about to speak, but he turned his gaze behind me, which made me frown, and looked at it.I saw Stefan approaching us; that's why I held my breath."I'll just check on some of my patients. I'll come to your office later," Josiah said, then immediately left.I panicked for a moment because I didn't expect him to leave right away, but I calmed myself down."Doc Eli," Stefan called me.I kept looking at him, and I could see the doubt in his eyes, as if he wasn't sure if he should approach me now.I cleared my throat and stood properly before I spoke."Mr. E

    "How can you not know about that, Mom?" Allison asked."My gosh! If he hadn't introduced himself, I might have believed that it was Dad!" Stella said one after the other."How can I know about that? Your Daddy never mentioned to me that he has a twin!" Mommy answered, then sat down on the sofa.We are at home now because, after Tito Adler's statement appeared on the news, Mommy called us to come home. I thought they wouldn't be able to watch it right away because they were busy with their work, but I was surprised when they watched it right away."He looks like Dad. I suddenly miss Daddy," Allison said with a sad voice.I remembered the night Uncle Adler appeared to me, and I was also very devastated because I thought it was Dad in front, but it wasn't. I understand Allison's feelings because I have felt the same."So what's your plan, Mom? Don't tell me we're not going to help him, huh?" asked Stella.I looked up at Mommy because I was interested in her answer to Stella's question. I

    I don't know how many minutes passed until Mommy finally calmed down, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes. "I-I just want to help the baby, but that doesn't mean I'm going back to Stefan," I explained to them. Even Stella did not want to agree to me adopting Elias because she said it was not my obligation. Another thing is that they really hate Stefan, even though I told them that I forgave him a long time ago. "How can you be so sure about that? I'm sure that man will use you again!" Stella said, annoyed. "It looks like you're planning to fool around for the rest of your life, Eliana. Hey! I don't know if I should be the one to say it. You're at the right age, so it's up to you!" Mommy kept preaching to me. I sighed again because I couldn't understand why they were thinking of me getting back together with Stefan, even though it never crossed my mind. "I just want to help the baby, but I have no intention of getting back together with Stefan. I don't have any feeli

    After I got Yasmin back to her room, I let her rest. Stefan was still there, and Elias was asleep in the little crib. "Thank you, Doc. How is she?" Stefan asked me. Yasmin fell asleep immediately because her body gets tired quickly. Stefan, on the other hand, stopped what he was doing to come to me and say thank you. "She was fine, and we have already talked. She just mentioned something to me earlier," I answered, then shrugged my shoulders. I could see the slight surprise in his eyes, as if he already knew what it was about. "A-About what?" he stuttered. I avoided looking at him, and I looked at Yasmin, who was sleeping on her bed, as if she were very tired. "She doesn't want to have the surgery," I answered.I feel so sorry for her, because even if I don't agree with what she wants, I can't do anything else. "Yes, she already told me about that. I don't agree to what she wants even though her funds for her treatment have been used up," Stefan explained, causing me to turn t

    I saw that the sun was about to set, and I was glad to witness it now because it was almost night when I left the hospital. It's a good thing that Yasmin asked for this, so I was able to watch the sunset with her. "How's your feeling?" I asked Yasmin. We are now behind the hospital, where there are many trees and a large oval field. This is the place I chose for my hospital so that I could give the patients a big space. The air is fresh there, and I sometimes go here when I want to be alone. There are also other patients there who are being taken around by their nurses. "As of now, I feel fine and feel no pain," Yasmin answered me. I gave her the vegetable salad that Josiah gave me earlier because I couldn't eat it anymore. I only drink iced coffee now. Yasmin was looking at the big oval field while sitting in her wheelchair, so I sat on a bench right next to her. "Your surgery is coming soon. Are you ready?" I asked her. I looked at Yasmin, and I saw a lot of changes in her ph

    I didn't last long in the nursery room either, and Stefan and I were able to talk there, so when we finished, I went back to my work. "You see?" Josiah asked me when we met again.I took a deep breath and then nodded in response to him. He smiled slightly at me, then lightly patted my shoulder. "I feel good about the baby, Jos. When I saw and touched him earlier, it was like I was being with Margaret again," I told him, and then I couldn't help but smile. I saw Josiah immediately shake his head while looking at me, so I slightly raised an eyebrow at him. "How many times do I have to tell you, Eli? Separate your personal feelings in situations like this so you don't get hurt in the end," he said to remind me again. I held my breath and tried to smile at him before speaking. "I know, Jos. I just felt something strange about the baby," I answered him. I know that my weakness is children because I lost my own child. I just sometimes think that Yasmin is very lucky because, even tho

    I went straight to Lance's room and found him awake. He was talking with Criza, his sister. They looked at me at the same time when I entered, so I smiled. "Doc, Eli." Criza greeted me. I smiled at Criza and couldn't help but remember what I discovered about what happened to her. I turned to Criza to have a kiss with her, then I looked at Lance, who was just looking at me silently. "I'll leave you two here for now. I'm just going to buy something outside," Criza said to say goodbye. I nodded to her, and I watched her until she got out of Lance's hospital room. When Criza finally left, I turned to Lance again. He smirked as if he was going to start teasing me again, so I immediately came to him and lightly slapped his arm. "Ouch! Eliana! Did you really come here to hurt me?" he asked, then laughed slightly. "Yeah, because you're annoying! Why did you catch the bullet meant for me? You don't have nine lives," I complained to him. He laughed, so I glared at him. "Stop laughing. T
