When Joseph spun around, he noticed that everyone from the Moore family was gone.Not a single car was in sight!Joseph groaned.At a hospital working that was under Moore Corporation, Melanie underwent a checkup again. When the doctors confirmed her diagnosis, Tamara also completed her blood test. After the checkup, the results of the bone marrow match came out. Tamara and Melanie were compatible.Since they had found a suitable donor, all that was left was to set a date for the operation.Inside the ward, Tamara sat by the bedside and observed Melanie’s pale face. Her heart pained at the sight of it. Tamara wished she could take all of Melanie’s pain for herself instead.“Are you really my mommy?” Melanie’s eyes never left Tamara. She couldn’t believe she had a mother. Not to mention, it was the beautiful lady whom she loved so much.Tamara felt the urge to cry and hurriedly recollected herself. “That’s right. I’m your mommy. You’ll be staying with me from now on, okay?”Mela
“Set a date, Uncle Jon,” said Tamara.Jonathan nodded. “Done. But if you’re to stay at the hospital for the next few days, your grandmother…”Tamara hummed. “Tell her I’m keeping Melly company, but don’t tell her about Melly’s condition. Let’s not worry her.”She turned to Joseph. “Joseph, you must be busy with work. You should attend to your matters.”Joseph was working at Moore Corporation. He initially wanted to get into the entertainment industry with Jason, but if Joseph were to leave, no one would be able to lead Moore Corporation. Thus, Joseph decided to stay.Joseph nodded. “Alright. Call me if you need me.”“Of course,” Tamara said.Joseph left the hospital. When he walked past Sebastian, he huffed at Sebastian and tilted his chin up.Sebastian felt speechless.On the other hand, Jonathan had already ordered the hospital director to prepare a ward for Tamara. It was the one right next to Melanie’s.Tamara shook her head. “I want to be in the same ward as Melanie.”J
As the night went on, Tamara’s mind drifted. She was initially watching over Melanie. However, images of Sebastian started floating around her mind.They hadn’t met in four years, and here he was playing hide and seek with her!Did he find this romantic?Tamara found him lame. Scratch that! She was angry!Did Sebastian know how the past four years had been for her?When he gave her the divorce papers and left for Clacton to inherit his family business, had he ever thought about her?Why the hell did he think he could just waltz right back into her life after four years?That asshole!Tamara bit her nails as her tears fell uncontrollably. She was filled to the brim with anger and hatred.She knew Sebastian was right outside the ward, but she didn’t want to meet him!Tamara shut her eyes and recollected herself. A lot happened today. She had to slowly unpack and digest everything.The next morning.“Mommy…” A soft and childish voice sounded. Tamara’s eyes snapped open, and sh
“What the fuck is wrong with you, Sebastian?” Tamara’s clear eyes glowed red in anger.Her breathing grew heavy. “Do you think I’ll forgive you just because you apologized? Not a chance!”Tamara was yelling furiously. She jumped off the table and headed for the door.However, when she reached for the door handle, a force pulled her back and she stumbled into a warm embrace.“Tammy.” A husky voice breathed into her ear. Tamara shut her eyes. “Let me go, Sebastian.”“I know my apology doesn’t mean jack shit. But I won’t give up. You can push me away all you want, but I’ll always be right behind you. Tammy, I love you,” confessed Sebastian in a husky voice. He was afraid Tamara would grow angrier if he did not speak now.Tamara was fed up with his sweet nothings. She forced her way out of his embrace and left the meeting room.Sebastian shut his eyes in defeat. He laughed deprecatingly at himself. He was such a fool!…In the afternoon.Tamara was conversing with Melanie when
Tamara turned around unconsciously and saw the two guards on the floor. They were doubling over in pain. On the other hand, Sebastian was straightening his crumpled shirt. When he saw her looking over, his lips curled into a smirk. His dark eyes held a certain gentleness as he stared at her.“I was only being respectful to the Moore family, Tammy. These two are not enough to hold me back,” grinned Sebastian cheekily.Tamara gave him a blank stare.Annoyance painted her beautiful face, and she glared at him with her clear eyes. “What are you doing, Sebastian?”Although her tone was cold, it still sounded melodious to Sebastian.Sebastian stalked closer to Tamara, his slender and tall figure quickly enveloping her petite frame. He lowered his gaze to her tenderly. “You can’t stop me from pursuing you.”Tamara sneered at how shameless he was being. In fact, he was even more shameless compared to four years ago!Tamara pointed at the two guards and huffed coldly. “You hurt my guards
The operation took place three days later.Jonathan, Cheryl, Jason, Jayden, Jordan, and Joseph all arrived at the hospital. The family waited outside the operating room anxiously.Thomas was still in school. When Sebastian came over, he was stopped by the guards.Instead of just two guards, there were 20 guards this time.Sebastian sighed helplessly at this.In fact, 20 guards were not enough to stop him, but he didn’t want to cause a commotion.Thus, Sebastian chose to wait outside the hospital quietly.A breeze blew past him, and the scene looked somewhat bleak.Not far from him was a parked luxurious car.The window rolled down to reveal a furious Joanne whose gaze was fixed on Sebastian’s figure.She loved him with all her heart, but it didn’t faze him one bit. Yet here he was standing outside the hospital after getting stopped by the guards!He was the president of Custry Corporation!How could he be treated like some loser?Joanne retracted her gaze, and a dark look
Jason, Jayden, and Jordan looked over.Jordan furrowed his eyebrows and sneered at Sebastian. “You’re Sebastian? The bastard who left Tammy?”Jayden chuckled. “No need for harsh words, Jordan. We just have to beat him to death.”Jason narrowed his eyes dangerously. “I’ve been itching for a fight recently. How I wish I can go back to Moore Corporation and take over the entire Custry Corporation. I’ll make sure to make this bastard homeless.”Sebastian stared at them coolly.His murderous intent was enough to send shivers down one spine.The four brothers were not people Sebastian could raise his fist against.Sebastian sighed helplessly. “Jason, Jayden, Jordan, Joseph, it’s my fault for abandoning Tammy back then. I apologize.”“Please don’t get chummy with us. We have nothing to do with you,” said Joseph with a huff.Jordan stalked closer with a dark look on his face. “I heard you’re good with your fists?”Jordan was a high-ranking officer and a good fighter, yet he was surpr
When Tamara saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched.“What is this, Uncle Jon?” Tamara sighed helplessly at her uncle.Jonathan chuckled. “It’s to celebrate you and Melly being discharged from the hospital. Of course, we have to make it a little more festive than normal.”Tamara sighed again. She held Melanie’s hand and led her to the limousine.The long queue of vehicles left the hospital, and the place returned to its peaceful state.“Hello, Grandma Moore!” Melanie greeted politely after she entered the Moore manor.Old Mrs. Moore observed the beautiful girl and exclaimed dreamily, “You look just like Tammy’s mom, Melly.”Tamara paused before giggling at this.That was true. Melly did look identical to her mother. Tamara would even go as far as to say Melanie looked more identical to her mother than she did.Tamara believed if her mother ever met Melanie, she would adore the little girl.“Melly!” Thomas chirped excitedly. He flew over and gave Melanie a bear hug. He eve
