Johnny looked at her resolute back and panicked.

After listening to his apology, Lucia felt extremely cold and disappointed. She just wanted to laugh now. She couldn't believe that all these years of being in a relationship could just end with " I'm carrying your child!" She would have gotten pregnant first then. In the beginning, he had said that he would stay with her for a lifetime and would never let her down.He had also said that he would only love her in his life. But now, what was all this? He just confessed his " love" for Renata.It was like she's been awoken from the illusion she had been in all these years.

Renata looked up from Johnny's embrace and smirked slightly, revealing a smile of victory.Her lips moved, and although no sound came out from her mouth, Lucia understood what she was saying.She was saying: Sister, I won again. Lucia looked at the two embracing each other, the disappointment and sadness fading and being replaced by scornful laugh. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Okay, Johnny.” She looked at the familiar but strange face in front of her. There were no emotions in her eyes except for indifference now. “As you wish, we will break the engagement."

" Johnny, from this moment on, we go our separate ways. If we see each other in the future, we are strangers!”

After that, she turned and walked out.Her footsteps were decisive and never once did she turn back to look at him.

Johnny looked at her resolute back and panicked, moving in an attempt to chase after her. " Lucia .…” “ Johnny! " At the same time he moved, he heard a painful moan behind him. “My stomach suddenly hurts…” His expression changed, and he hurriedly turned around and quickly walked to her. He held her in his arms and asked. “ Renata, what’s wrong with you?” Renata covered her stomach with one hand and frowned. “My stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable, it hurts so much. Johnny, could there be something wrong with our child?” At the mention of the baby being in trouble, Johnny focused all his attention on Renata. He forgot all about Lucia at the mention of the baby. With a tense expression on his face, he said, “No, absolutely not. Don’t worry about it, Renata, our baby will definitely be healthy. I’ll take you to the hospital right away. " Lucia walked to the door. Hearing the movement behind her, she paused. But soon, she pushed the door open and stepped out.

She walked out of the hotel. As Lucia stood on the side of the road, she looked at the busy streets absentmindedly .Just a week ago, Johnny had taken her to his family’s house. Mr and Mrs Corona had even asked them when they were getting married and wanted to discuss the specific date with them.At that time, who would have expected that she and Johnny would break up so soon? Betrayed by her childhood sweetheart, and he had actually cheated on her with her half-sister of a different mother. Lucia felt like her life was really ridiculous. It was so melodramatic!She had thought that all men might be taken by Renata, but not Johnny. And yet ..… Only now did she know how naive and laughable her thoughts had been.Reality slapped her in the face and woke her up completely.

As she contemplated on what to do next, her cell phone rang. Looking at the caller, she picked up immediately.

Hello, auntie Pam.... "

" Hello, Lucia. Pablo..... "

After listening to what auntie Pam said, she sighed. " I'll be right there."

Hailing a taxi, she rushed into the hospital.

As she got down and rushed into the hospital, she didn't notice a car that had been conspicuously following her around.

In a black Rolls-Royce parked not far away from the hospital, the driver saw Lucia hurriedly rush into the hospital.

She looked worried.

He waited for a while, then picked up his phone and dialed a phone number. After the call went through, the driver said respectfully, “ President.”

" Speak ” At the other end of the phone, the man’s low and indifferent voice sounded " I have been following the lady as per your request, President. It appears something has happened to her family member as she just got a taxi to the hospital. She doesn’t look good and is very anxious. I'm about to head in and ask ?”

The driver would not dare to gossip usually. This was the first time Mr Leon had asked him to follow someone, and it was a woman. This woman had come out of Mr Leon's room this morning! He's never seen Me Leon with a woman since he worked for him as a driver. He is always indifferent when it came to women. Before her, not even the shadow of a woman was around Mr Leon! The man on the other end was silent for a few seconds. “hhmm. Go over to Ivan's office and find out." "Yes, President ”

* When Lucia arrived at the emergency doors, Pablo was just being pushed out on a stretcher. The doctor came out as well. Lucia hurriedly walked over to him and asked, “Doctor, how is my brother?” The doctor took off his mask. “The patient’s vital signs are stable but we need operate on him soon. Then we can start the chemotherapy. But I hope you make the payment for his surgery as soon as possible. The company financing his hospital bills made payment saying it'll be the last time they would support. So you still need to pay for the surgery and the chemo.

As for everything else, he's out of danger for the time being ”

Lucia looked at the doctor for a while and said. “Thank you, doctor! I'll make payment for the surgery very soon. ”

Two years ago when they found out that Pablo had cancer, they set up a cancer foundation with Jonny's and her fathers company. That started to garner attention very much because it helped a lot of people with surgery fees, as well as hospital bills.

Lucia and Jonny used to look after this foundation together.

But later, her father made Renata the overseer of the foundation. She didn't care much because she knew Renata won't be able to make any decisions without Jonny.

But now that she's got her claws on Jonny, Lucia didn't find it as a surprise when she heard that the foundation stopped supporting Pablo. She knew that all this while she was finding a way to make her life miserable. She didn't even spare Pablo who was sick. She's the reason why Pablo hasn't gotten his surgery yet. Because she has been playing tricks behind the scenes, giving Pablo's chances to others.

She really didn't notice it at first because his medical bills was always paid on time. But then last year, she found out by chance that other patients who came to the hospital through the foundation with cancer as well have already undergone an operation and have started chemo. The excuse that they gave is that because Pablo's blood type is RH negative which is a rare blood type, they'll need to get blood in advance, as anything could happen in the operation room. As such they'll have to wait. Thus making them wait for two years. A woman like that is very vicious.

But this won't put her down. No matter what will happen, she'll make sure that Pablo would regain his athletic self once more.

When Pablo awoke, Lucia was sitting by his bed and looking at his pale, frail face. She said distressed, “ Pablito, you're awake?

" how do you feel? Would you like the doctor to come over and check on you?”

Pablo who had just woken up saw Lucia sitting by his bed, and he smiled. His weak demeanor making his smile look worse than a frown.

“Sis, I’m fine” His voice was hoarse, and his speech was a bit laborious. “You don’t have to worry about me "Lucia smiled seeing that he was trying to act though. She pursed her lips tightly in other not to cry infront of him. But you could see tears in her eyes. How could she not be worried?Pablo was her only loved one left in this world.
