Jay lay senseless in the ICU, surrounded by machines beeping rhythmically. Wires and tubes connected him to monitors, displaying his weak vital signs. Medical professionals rushed around, tending to his injuries with urgency, while his fate hung in the balance.Jemma stood motionless outside the ICU, tears streaming down her face, gazing at Jay through the glass. She felt paralyzed by grief, watching him fight for life. The machines beeped incessantly, heightening the harsh reality of his weak state, and leaving her in misery.The doctors and staff exited the ICU, leaving Jay alone. Jemma remained unmoving. Soon, Eric arrived, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, “It’s late. I’ll drop you.”She wiped her tears and glanced at Eric."What did the doctor say?" Jemma asked."Jay slipped into a coma. It's uncertain when he'll wake up. His condition's critical; he might not last long," Eric replied grimly.Jemma froze, staggered to the nearby couch, shut her eyes, and tears streamed
Noah entered her study room and placed the car keys on the desk, noticing the forgotten scarf. As he held it, memories flooded back, particularly the night he had hurt her. He grappled with the reality that Jay and Jemma's only fault was liking each other. Hindered and stressed, Noah screamed and began breaking things in the room out of sheer frustration.Another week slipped away.Yohan's health deteriorated due to the absence of a donor. His company's situation remained bleak.Jay lingered in a coma, and Jemma continued working at Venus Group.Noah, consumed by suffering, carried on with his routine until one day, while working in his office, Liam's phone call interrupted his day. Noah, still working, answered the phone, "Hmm...""Sir, I've sent you a comprehensive report on your mother's past."Noah stopped working, listening intently."Also, we've managed to capture Mr. Dixon's security unit and investigation unit. He's left with nothing more to lose. I'll provide another report
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.
Sara rushed to the hospital and quickly entered the doctor's office. The doctor greeted her kindly, "Miss Owen, please come in."She sat down at the table, facing him. "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 Sara arrived at the hospital, she came to know that Yohan had regained consciousness and was moved to the regular ward. Carrying happiness, she headed to the ward. 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. She entered the room, closing the door be
At seven in the morning, the surgery concluded, and Noah was moved to the ICU. Tearfully, Sara inquired of the doctor, "How is my son doing?""He suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Fortunately, it's not severe. However, he experienced blood loss, so we'll need to give him more blood. But he'll be fine.""Why was surgery necessary then?""It was a routine, minor procedure. Nothing to worry about." The doctor appeared to be concealing something.He left the room. Sara looked at her son, wrapped in bandages and connected to various machines. Feeling overwhelmed, she held her head in frustration and took a seat on the couch. She had just dealt with Yohan's critical condition, and now Noah was also in a serious state.Suddenly, Natalie and Bruno arrived at the hospital.“Sara…”Sara walked towards them."Aunt, uncle... why did you come?""How's Jimmy? Is he fine?" Natalie asked."He... he's lost a lot of blood.""We've heard something. The news reports... What went down at that hotel? W
Jemma couldn't sleep the entire night after Noah's threat. The next morning, she got ready for work and left home. As she was heading out, she read the news that someone had entered Jay's ICU room and removed his oxygen mask, attempting to kill him. Fortunately, the nurse checked on Jay every two hours, and when she arrived, Jay was struggling to breathe. The nurse immediately called the doctor, and the situation was brought under control. Jemma felt scared and worried. She thought the incident might be linked to Noah's warning, making her tense that Noah might attempt to harm Jay. A few days later, Jay finally woke up from his long coma. Jemma took a break from work and rushed to the hospital to visit him. Upon entering the room, she saw Jay lying in bed, engaged in a conversation with a nurse, wearing a warm smile. Tears welled up in her eyes, causing her to hesitate at the doorway. Jay noticed her and gently called out her name."Hey, Jemma... You're here."Jemma bit her lip, fee
