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.

    "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

    "Let go of me, Jay."Ignoring her plea, Jay nestled his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. "Did you really sleep with him?"Jemma felt a pang of guilt as Noah's words echoed."Let go, Jay," she repeated, trying to free herself from his grip.But Jay continued, "No...""Please, Jay," Jemma's resistance grew stronger. However, in a sudden burst of frustration, Jay forcefully pushed her against the wall."Why?" His voice cracked with anger.Jemma tensed up as Jay's grip tightened on her shoulders."Who is he? You let him get close to you. You slept with him. I was your damn boyfriend. We were engaged. You never even gave me a kiss," Jay's voice was filled with hurt and frustration.Jemma attempted to break free, but Jay pushed her against the wall once more."I'm not done talking," he said firmly."Stop it, Jay. We're not together anymore.""That's what I'm trying to understand. We were together for years, and I couldn't even touch you. Why did he get to sleep with you the

    Jemma lay still on the bed for some time, making sure he had truly left. When she heard the beeping sound of the apartment door locking, she breathed a sigh of relief. Hurriedly, she went to lock the bedroom door from the inside. Turning on the lights, she glanced around the room. Her eyes landed on a T-shirt and pyjamas that belonged to Noah. Putting on his clothes seemed a much better option than being naked, so she quickly got dressed and then lay back on the bed, feeling weak and drained. She reached for her mobile phone and checked the notifications flooding in. The internet was filled with news about her and Jay. Just then, a notification popped up on her phone. It was a text message from Noah. "Turn off the lights. Put the phone away and get some sleep."Jemma's eyes widened in surprise. He wasn't in the apartment, so how did he know what she was up to?Angrily, she replied, "Are you spying on me? Do you have cameras in your bedroom?""I can see the light from downstairs. And

    Jemma was getting ready to leave as she finished her work when Jay suddenly barged into her office. His face showed a mix of sadness and anger. Slowly, Jemma stood up, seeing him."I couldn't believe him when he said he slept with you. I kept asking you why we broke up. And now I see, you betrayed me," Jay uttered, his voice filled with hurt.Jemma gripped her phone tightly, understanding why he was reacting this way. He took a step closer, his expression pained. "I was actually coming to apologize for what I did yesterday. I felt so happy thinking you cared for me, fooling myself into believing you still had feelings for me. But you were never really into me."Jay's accusation hit Jemma hard, leaving her speechless and dazzled with a sense of guilt and sorrow.She couldn't bear the weight of his accusations."Jay...""No! You listen to me," Jay interrupted."If you were over me, why did you keep pretending? Why string me along until our wedding? You should've said no to my proposal.

    "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. You can't change the past, but you shouldn't be dodging what's happ

    "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 family found themselves torn between joy for the new life and grief for the loss of Jemma's child. 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

Back off," he warned, and Sara covered her mouth in shock at the revelation."Mom, get her out of here," Noah yelled at his stunned mother. 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..." Jemma screamed, almost drowned out by the chaos.Jacob attempted, "Jimmy, let's talk, okay.""I'll kill you!" But Noah un

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. Jia sobbed, holding Jemma's hands, "Jemma... please... tell brother not to do anything to him... please... Jemma...""Calm down... calm down, Jia... don't cry...
