Tamara and Sebastian were walking out when they heard Andrew’s words. They stopped and spun around.Margot had a bad feeling about this. She turned to Andrew. “What do you mean by that?”Andrew chuckled darkly at her. “Your mother betrayed me. I have to get my revenge on her. Too bad she died, so I can only get revenge on her daughter instead. You love that man, don’t you? What a coincidence. He is also the man my daughter loves. I will make sure he gets buried with her. He has to die!”Benjamin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. All the colors drained from his face.“Benjamin!” Margot widened her eyes and went to support him. “What’s wrong?”Tamara rushed over to check on his pulse. When she felt his pulse, her eyes flew wide open.“Margot…” Tamara was at a loss for words.Margot’s heart dropped. “What’s wrong with him?”Tamara didn’t know how to break the news to her.“Tell me, Tammy. What’s wrong with him?” Margot shook Tamara anxiously.“He…” Tamara began. But she saw
Margot stared at Tamara in desperation. Her hand gripped tightly onto Benjamin, and her vision blurred.Tamara slapped a hand over her mouth and started crying for her friend.“Save him…” sobbed Margot. Tamara couldn’t bring herself to speak. She shook her head at Margot.The poison inside Benjamin was deadly. It was one of the most lethal Tamara had ever encountered.There wasn’t any cure for it.When Margot saw Tamara shaking her head, she gradually stopped crying. She turned to Andrew. “Are you sure there are no antidotes?”Still, Andrew remained silent. He seemed to have accepted his fate and was waiting for his impending doom.Margot retracted her gaze and helped Benjamin up. She observed his pale face and watched as blood flowed freely from his mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but Margot bit them back.“Benjamin, let’s… let’s head to the sea, okay?” choked Margot.Benjamin wiped the tears away. “Okay. Don’t cry.”Margot helped Benjamin out of the manor. Toget
The couple enjoyed each other’s presence. Benjamin’s breathing quickened, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.“I’m sorry, Margot. It looks like I won’t be able to stay with you forever.” Benjamin grabbed the railings to stop himself from falling over. He gave Margot an apologetic look.“Sorry…” He apologized. He wanted to hug her but found himself too weak to even do that.Margot stood there as the man beside her slowly closed his eyes. His body slumped against the railings gently. It was so soft that the sound of the waves crashing against the beach drowned it out.Margot stood rooted in her spot. She watched as the sun rose from the horizon. When it finally broke free from the shackles of the sea, she suddenly exclaimed, “Look! The sun’s out!”She turned around, but Benjamin had already passed.“Benjamin?” Margot called out gently. She leaned down and pulled him into her embrace.“I know you’re tired. Sleep for now, okay? We can watch the sunset again once you wake.” Ma
“Okay,” said Margot to Tamara, smiling.A car was waiting for Tamara. Margot glanced at it before suddenly taking Tamara’s hand. “Tammy.”Tamara was puzzled. “What’s wrong, Margot?”Margot smiled faintly. “I just want to give you a hug.”With that, Margot pulled Tamara into a hug.“You have to live a good life. All of you need to live a good life,” said Margot. There was a hint of sadness within her voice.Tamara’s heart sank, and she hugged Margot closer. “You have to live a good life too.”“I will.” As she said that, Margot nodded and slid into the hug. She closed her eyes as a single tear rolled down her cheek.Sebastian turned around to look at the duo. When he noticed Margot’s tearful gaze, his eyebrows knitted together.Margot released Tamara from her embrace. “Alright. Text me when you get home. Ask your kids to send me a quick text too.”“Okay.” Tamara nodded. She turned around and got in the car. She stared at Margot’s figure. At that moment, she felt a weird sensati
Very soon, the doctors came out of the operating room. Tamara immediately went up to them.The doctors took off their masks. “There are no injuries on the patient.”Tamara breathed a sigh of relief. “Then why did she faint?”The doctor looked worried. “This is also what we’re confused about. Until now, we are still not able to wake the patient up.”Tamara paused. “What do you mean by not being able to wake her up?”The doctor sighed, “The patient is in a deep sleep.”Tamara blinked. Just then, Margot was brought out from the operating room. She looked to be in a peaceful slumber.“Margot?” Tamara stepped forward and called out gently, but Margot didn’t react to her.Tamara turned to the doctor. “Find out why she fainted, and make sure she wakes up no matter what.”“We will.” The doctors left, and Margot was brought to the ICU ward.The medium suddenly stood up. “I have a suspicion that she isn’t sick. But…"“But?” Tamara frowned at the medium.Tamara was not a firm believer
Joseph turned to Tamara, who was filled with suspicion. Tamara pursed her lips and chose her words wisely. “Why did you risk your life just to help Margot?”Joseph was taken aback. “Haven’t I explained myself before?”If he didn’t save Margot, he would never find peace.However, his actions did not stem from his feelings. They arose from his sense of duty and obligation toward the person he once had feelings for.But he kept this to himself.Tamara thought about his explanation. She blurted out, “I think there’s more to it. You’re not that shallow.”Joseph must be keeping the truth from her. At least, finding peace shouldn’t be his main driving factor.He was keeping something from her, but Tamara was not a mind reader. She wouldn’t know unless he told her.Her gaze landed on Margot. She looked healthy and seemed to be in a peaceful slumber. She didn’t look ill or injured in the slightest.Tamara was confused. Margot seemed to be doing fine. So why did she faint, and why was
Cheryl narrowed her eyes.“So you want to take this chance to sweep her off her feet? Stop it. She doesn’t see you that way. Do you think it’s possible for her to have a change of heart all of a sudden? I suggest you get over it!” Cheryl frowned and scolded her son.Tamara stood by the side. She remembered Kimberly had come to visit Joseph before. She even gave Joseph a bottle of origami stars. Although Joseph didn’t tell Tamara who had given it to him, she could guess it right out of the bag.This was because Joseph had never accepted any gifts from other girls.Tamara thought for a moment. “Joseph, you do have feelings for Kimberly, don’t you? Even if it’s only a little. Give it a try. If the two of you really don’t work out in the end, it’s not too late to reject her then.”Joseph turned to Tamara. “Why are you siding with them?”Tamara chuckled, “What’s wrong? Are you scared of commitment?Joseph groaned.“Fine. I’ll think about it. All of you should get going now.” Joseph
Jonathan and Cheryl stared at the uninvited guests Tamara brought home. They sighed.“At least the house will be livelier this time,” chuckled Jonathan.The rooms Tamara and the three children stayed in were cleaned daily. There wasn’t any need to prepare another room for them.But when it came to Sebastian’s room, Jonathan stated bluntly, “Seb will stay in the room on the first floor. It’s convenient anyway.”Sebastian thought to himself, “Convenient? How is it convenient?”Sebastian disagreed, “There’s no need for that. I can stay in the same room as Tammy.”“No. You’re not remarried yet.” Jonathan shook his head. Sebastian smirked, “Sir, we have never been divorced in the first place.”Jonathan was stunned. He suddenly recalled the time when Sebastian proposed to Tamara. Tamara had admitted to tearing the divorce papers apart and not signing them. In fact, all of them were present that day.So after everything they had been through, Sebastian and Tamara had always been leg
