Noah stood tall and composed. Clad in a crisp white shirt and sleek black pants, his sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, throwing an air of effortless confidence. Two buttons of his shirt remained casually undone, revealing a glimpse of his masculine chest, an expensive silver wristwatch adorning his wrist, glinting in the ambient light. His choice of black shoes added a touch of sophistication to his getup. His deep, penetrating eyes gazed intently. The closely pressed, slightly pursed pink lips hinted at an unspoken resolve, adding an air of mystery and allure to his handsomeness. His presence commanded attention, echoing the charisma and aura of authority associated with his lineage, reminiscent of his biological father, Yohan Dixon.

As he saw Sara, Noah felt a lump in his throat. It had been a whole month since he last saw his mother and his heart ached to be with her. The coldness in his eyes softened for a moment, and he took a step toward her. Sara slowly stood up from the

    In a dimly lit apartment, Noah lounged on the couch, puffing on a cigarette while fixated on the news broadcast. The surgeons responsible for Yohan Dixon's transplant appeared in a press conference. The initial news was promising – the liver transplant had been successful. However, the room fell silent as the tone shifted. "The transplanted liver is showing signs of primary non-function," the main surgeon announced solemnly. "This necessitates an urgent need for another transplant. Mr Dixon remains unconscious, and his condition is grave."Noah's face contorted slightly at the news, a mix of anxiety and a touch of regret flashing across his eyes. He stubbed out his cigarette and poured some wine into a glass for him.A reporter asked, "It is being said that neither Noah Johnson nor Sara Owen is present during this difficult time. What would you say about this?""Miss Owen was here at the hospital continuously until the operation was concluded. However, after the procedure, she had t

    Natalie walked into the study, her hand resting on Bruno's shoulder, tears welling in her eyes. "Bruno..." "I'm scared, Natalie. For the first time. Not even when Neel showed his true colors," Bruno admitted. "Jimmy wouldn't do that. He loves all of us," Natalie assured him. "Neel loved too, until he found out the truth about his biological father. Natalie, I couldn't convince Jimmy to stop his vendetta against Ricky. He's set on ruining him, and Ricky's situation is getting worse..." The two of them hugged and cried, feeling helpless and trapped in a situation they couldn't control. Meanwhile, Sara returned to the hospital. As she reached Yohan's room, the news struck her like a thunderbolt. Yohan's condition had deteriorated, and his body was rejecting the new liver. Her eyes filled with tears, refusing to dry. She was overcome with fear and anxiety as she realized the urgent need for a new donor. … Jemma finished up at work and headed to the parking lot.

    As the snow fell, covering the streets in a white blanket, people strolled, cuddling their partners for warmth. Noah sped in his car until a red signal halted him. Extinguishing his cigarette, he noticed a woman, shivering without warm attire. She was in formal clothing, seemingly off from work, hugging herself tightly in the snow. Noah's car stopped, he got out of the car, and seeing him, she paused in her tracks.Noah quickly removed his blazer and draped it around Jemma, leading her to his car. He didn't hesitate, pulling her along by the wrist. Jemma complied, quietly seating herself. He fetched his warm coat from the back seat and gently wrapped it around her. Adjusting the car's temperature, Noah glanced at her as she gradually stopped shivering, now feeling warm and comfortable. "Where's your car?" Noah asked.Jemma softly responded, "I got home late that night, so... my stepmother..."Noah's tone turned frosty. "Look at me."Jemma lifted her gaze, meeting his icy eyes."Did s

    "Who told you where I live?" Noah asked."Jemma shared it. I really need to talk to you." Sara seemed hesitant."Let's go inside the apartment. We can sit down and chat comfortably.""No. I'm fine."Noah put his hands in his pockets and asked, "Tell me."Sara, tears in her eyes, said, "Yohan's dying. The liver transplant failed. He needs a new liver urgently."Noah smirked, "Then find someone else to donate.""When the potential donor found out they had to donate to Yohan, they demanded a hefty sum of money. And as you know, the company is already drowning in debt."He smirked, "Who have you come to meet here? Your son is dead to you. Maybe you're here to meet a businessman. But how can I assist you with this? If you're after money to pay off the donor... Sorry, I'm not in a charitable mood."Sara was taken aback by his harshness but managed to stay composed. "Jimmy, you have the same blood group as Yohan. Can you donate your liver to him?"Noah's eyes turned dark, and he turned away.

"How's his condition?" she asked, her voice filled with hope."You ask that every day, and I regret to say it hasn't improved. In fact, it's gotten worse," the doctor replied."Is the donor still willing to help?""Yes, but his price hasn't changed."Sara placed a check on the table, "Give this to him," she said.The doctor took the check and examined it carefully. He was surprised by the amount on the check and the name written on it - 'Eric Bond' from Venus Group."That's the exact amount the donor asked for. Please let him know and proceed with the transplant as soon as possible," Sara insisted.The doctor returned the check to her. "Miss Owen, this check isn't necessary anymore."Sara was left speechless."We're proceeding with Mr. Dixon's liver transplant in a few hours, and the donor doesn't want any payment," the

As she opened the door, she overheard Ryan speaking to Yohan, "I planned to give you a good beating once you woke up, but now that you're finally conscious, I'll wait till you're all better to take that.""Do you want to die?"Upon hearing Yohan's strained voice, tears began to stream down Sara's face. It had been a while since she last heard from him."You're getting old, but your mischief hasn't changed. You still enjoy scaring people, don't you? I…"While he was talking, his gaze landed on Sara, who stood by the door with tears in her eyes."I better go. Your wife's here," Ryan said to Yohan. He came to Sara, “I'm not inviting you to tomorrow's party. You stick with your husband and take care of him," he said casually, patting her shoulder and winking playfully before leaving.

    "How... How is that possible? I remember, we chatted the morning I got attacked. You were the one telling me the baby was all healthy. What the hell happened?" "Maybe it's just my rotten luck, Jemma. But seeing you with Sunny, I can't help but be grateful you made it through and had a healthy baby." "Oh, Jia..." Jemma enveloped her in a tight hug, both women clinging to each other as tears flowed freely. Meanwhile, Noah reached the October Villa. As he approached, Yohan shot him a glare colder than a snowstorm. "Dad... Mom..." Noah greeted them, his eyes darting around to gauge the situation. Sunny was playing with Yohan. Noah swallowed hard, sensing trouble. "How can you be so careless, Jimmy? Why'd you let Jemma come here alone at this hour? You know the danger's not over yet," Sara scolded, her tone edged with worry. "Mom, I didn't want her to come, but she insisted..." "You're avoiding the situation, Jimmy.

    "Jimmy, it's been days. I want to see her and the baby. What's the big deal?"He sighed, "I promise, we'll go later. I just need to sort some things out first."Jemma, growing more anxious, insisted, "But I've been waiting, Jimmy. I can't wait any longer. What's going on?"Noah, worried about her mental state, softened his tone, "Listen, babe. Trust me, I'll take you to see Jia, okay? I don't want to rush into things."Jemma, feeling a pang of doubt, couldn't hold back, "Are you hiding something from me? Why won't you just take me?""No, Jemma, it's not like that.""Jimmy..." her eyes turned tearful."Okay. I'll take you out to dinner tonight, at October Villa. Jia's staying there, and we can see her afterward. Deal?"Jemma hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, dinner it is. But you better not forget about it.Noah smiled, relieved that he had managed to divert her attention, "I won't. Now, let me get going, okay?"Jemma agreed, watching him leave for the office.

    Noah trudged back from work, the day's burdens still hanging on his shoulders. Opening the bedroom door, he caught sight of Jemma singing a lullaby to Sunny in her sweet voice. Emotions surged within him, and he quietly closed the door, not wanting to disturb their tender moment.Sinking into the living room couch, Noah leaned back with a heavy sigh. Guilt and regret enveloped him as he grappled with the reality of their situation. Conflicting emotions swirled as he recognised the joy in Jemma's happiness but couldn't shake the haunting feeling that everything was amiss.Jemma placed Sunny in the cot and, on her way to the kitchen for water, found Noah sitting in the dimly lit living room, a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. She touched his shoulder, and he opened his eyes, extinguishing the cigarette and placing the glass on the table."Tired?" she asked.Noah sighed deeply, rubbing the gap between his eyes. "Is Sunny asleep?"Jemma nodded, her palm on his che

    The next morning dawned, casting a feeble light across the hospital room. The oxygen mask, a constant companion in her struggle for breath, had been removed, leaving her vulnerable in the stark hospital room.As Jemma slowly opened her eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital greeted her senses. Her gaze fell on Noah, sitting at the edge of the bed, his face etched with a mixture of exhaustion and sorrow. Desperation flickered in her eyes, and as she tried to speak, her voice emerged as a raspy whisper, "Jimmy... where's our baby?"Noah's heart clenched at the question, the weight of the unspoken truth hanging heavily in the air. He hesitated, avoiding her gaze, and gently urged, "Jemma, just take it easy. You need to rest."But Jemma, fueled by a mother's instinct and the gnawing fear that something was amiss, persisted, "Jimmy, please, where's our baby? Why won't you tell me?"His throat tightened with the burden of the truth he wasn't ready to share. Trying to divert her attention,

The terrace became a haven for Noah, who stood near the railing, his hands tucked into his pockets, gazing into the vast darkness.Jacob approached silently, standing beside him.Noah's shoulders slumped, burdened by the weight of the night. Understanding the unspoken unrest, Jacob placed a hand on Noah's shoulder."It's tough, Jimmy," Jacob finally said.Noah remained silent, still lost in the abyss of his thoughts."It's okay, Jimmy. It's not your mistake." Jacob added."You shouldn't have brought Jia here," Noah mumbled."I couldn't lie to her, and... I couldn't stop her," Jacob replied."How's she?" Noah asked, his voice strained."She's fine. Delivery went smoothly, not too hard on her. It's life.""How's the baby?" Noah's voice caught in his throat.

    On a lovely evening, Jemma, bored at home, craved ice cream. Spontaneously, she called her driver and headed to the best ice cream spot. The cool sweetness lifted her spirits, turning a mundane evening into a delight.As Jemma indulged in her favourite ice cream, she decided to tease Noah, ignoring his earlier warnings about venturing out alone. Clueless about the impending twist in her evening, she initiated a video call, capturing the picturesque scene of her enjoying the sweet treat.Noah's face lit up when he saw Jemma's call, and his initial joy was evident as he glimpsed her savouring the ice cream. A smile played on his lips. However, his expression shifted when he noticed the unfamiliar surroundings and the people bustling behind her.Concern etched across his face, Noah interrupted her playful banter. "Jemma, where are you? You're not at home, are you?" he asked, his voice betraying a mix of worry and irritation.Jemma, still in her carefree mood, laughed, "Relax, Jimmy! Just

    Yohan looked straight into her eyes, "Your mother didn't make a mistake giving birth to you and your brother. Being a mother ain't a mistake. The real mistake is not being able to bring a child into the world. And you didn't make a mistake wanting to bring life into this world."Jia lowered her head, tears welling up."He's a good guy. I'm proud of you."Jia rested her head on his shoulder, and he tightened his grip on her hand, patting it with his other hand."Jimmy's mad at him, not at you or your child. They're buddies. They'll figure it out.""Thanks, Dad."…Noah stepped out of the bathroom, catching sight of Jemma massaging her own feet. With a quick stride, he approached her."What are you doing? Lie down," he insisted, guiding her to lean back onto the bed. Noah grabbed a cushion, placing it behind her for support. Carefully, he lifted her leg, settling it on his thigh, and started massaging it gently.Jemma looked at him deeply, a gentle smile playing on her lips, radiating w

Jemma wasn't giving up, clinging to his arms to stop him."Jimmy, please... don't be so furious. At least try to understand. We can talk.""Jemma..." his dark eyes sent shivers down her spine, and she realized the magnitude of his anger.In the bedroom, as Jia and Jacob heard Noah's furious voice, Jia clutched Jacob's hand in fear. "Jacob...""Don't worry, I'll talk to him. Let me go.""No... no... please... please, Jacob..."Jacob gently released his hand from her grip and stepped out of the bedroom. Noah caught sight of him, and his anger surged."Freaking scoundrel!" Ignoring Jemma, he shoved her aside and lunged at Jacob."Jimmy... Jimmy..."

Jia approached him in fear."I'll kill that coward, Jia," Noah gritted his teeth, eyes blazing with anger."He's not a coward, brother.""This is pure cowardice. Who the hell leaves you in such a condition?" he shouted angrily."No brother, don't do anything to him. Please... he was going to tell you...""When? After the baby's born? It's been seven fucking months, Jia!" he screamed, shaking her. Jemma approached Jia, holding her shoulders, and said to Noah, "Jimmy, don't scare her. We can talk calmly.""I'm warning you, Jemma. Ask her who he is or get her ready to see his dead body in twenty-four hours."Saying that, he stormed out of the apartment furiously, leaving everyone shocked and scared.
