Her mother died of cancer as well when she was in middle school. Pablo was just a toddler at that time, so he has no impression about their mum.

He was discovered to have gotten cancer when he was in his final year in grade school. He loves athletics very much that he joined the schools athletics club.

One afternoon she was called to come to the hospital by Pablo's school teacher. That was when she was told that Pablo fainted during their physical education activity. And that they've discovered that he has cancer.

The first time that they found out, they thought that everything is over and that Pablo would end up dying just like their mother. But he has been able to fight it for two years now. And thank God that he is still young, and he exercises often the doctors said if he gets an operation and goes through chemotherapy, everything would be fine. And she was going to make sure he gets surgery this time. At this moment auntie Pam entered the ward. Holding a thermos flask.

Lucia, you're here? " she asked as she placed the thermos flask on the table.

"auntie Pam, it's been hard on you. Thank you." Lucia said with gratitude.

Auntie Pam has been with them since their mother died. She's practically been a mother to both she and Pablo. Even when she wanted them to move out of the house, auntie Pam didn't hesitate to move in with them.

" silly child. what did the doctor say?"

Lucia sighed hearing her. " His attending

doctor said everything is fine for now. But he needs to get the surgery as soon as they get an RH negative blood. "

" I'm going to see the chief surgeon for more explanation." She really needed to talk to the chief surgeon.

Seeing that she was worried , his pale lips rose in a slight smile. He reached out and patted her on the back of her hand, pretending to be relaxed. “I’m really fine, don’t you see that for yourself ?” Sis, I know we'll get a blood donor soon."

“ Pablito, you…”Lucia's eyes were red and she was about to say something when he cut her off" sis, I've told you not to call me Pablito anymore. I'm almost in high school now " he pouted, feighning anger just to get Lucia's mind off him for the time being. " haha, but you're still a little boy to me"As they spoke, the door was pushed open again from out side and the chief surgeon walked in.

" I can see that you're really hanging in there. " he said.

" Doctor Gabby." Lucia smiled when she saw him. " I was about coming to your office."

Doctor Gabby smiled hearing what she said.

" Let's step outside then."

" okay. " Lucia responded. She then looked at Pablo and said" Pablito,. I'll go talk to doctor Gabby for a while."

"hhmm" Pablo replied.

Let's go to my office." doctor Gabby said as he led the way.

At the same time somewhere in the hospital, the driver had finished talking to the nurse and called Leon back to relay the information he's got on Lucia.

When the call got connected, he walked out of the hospital.

" Sir, I found out that Miss Lucia's brother is at this hospital. He seem to be battling cancer and needs surgery. But the foundation looking after him stopped on the instructions of her half sister. And now what they need most is not only money but her brother's blood type is hard to find. RH negative. They have not gotten a donor yet, as such they can't proceed with the surgery."

" what of the surgery fees, has she gotten a means of payment yet? "

" I'm not sure of that yet sir." But I think she hasn't. "

" she was on her way to the chief surgeon's office on my way out."

" hhmm" You return to the office."

Leon said as he hanged up.

He contemplated for a while , then made a call again. After the call got through a playful voice was heard. " hey bro. why are you calling me at this hour. ? "

" It's not even 12pm yet."

" Do you want to go to B city ?" Leon threatened.

Ivan who was drowsy from just waking up sat up as soon as he heard B city. He didn't want to go to that dilapidated city at all.

He got up from the bed and began to dress up. The lady laying beside him woke up as well. Seeing that he's dressing up, she asked." Mr Guenté, are you leaving?"

"hhmm" I'll transfer the money into your account. Don't look for me anymore."

With that he walked out of the room. " bro, what is it this time? "

" Your company is the foundation supporting the psychiatric department of Reol hospital?"

" yes. " " why, you want to invest?"

" hhmm"

" but you to extend it to the cancer treatment faculty as well."

Ivan was dumbfounded when he heard him say that.

" wait.... bro, what's wrong? "

" Do you have cancer?"

" Take the next flight to B city as soon as possible. "

" No!... bro, I was wrong!" But Ivan didn't finish what he was saying as Leon hanged up on him.

"....." Not B city!

Lucia walked out of the chief surgeon's office with a heavy heart. Doctor Gabby said the RH negative blood type is very rare and is hard to come by. And in the whole of Medieval country, there are just two places you can get this type of blood.

One was the blood bank, which is practically short of that type of blood at the moment. And the other in which is a socialite society which has been set up by the rich and affluent in the country who have that blood type. If Pablo is to get blood from their club, then she has to know of someone influencing in the club.

But who would she ask.

Not even Jonny is associated with that class of people. Talk much less her. But she'll do everything she can to make Pablo whole again. With a determined look, she walked back to Pablo's ward.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

An hour Later.

Phone rings.

Leon looks at the caller and smirks, then picks up.

" bro, it's done. how many people do you want me to put on the list per year? "

" you decide. Put Pablo Calvastan on the list. And make sure all his expenses are met. Don't exclude anything. "

" Pablo Calvastan? I've never heard of him."

" who is that bro?" Ivan asked. As he has never heard of anyone with that name.

" you don't have to know. " then he hanged up.

"....."

Ivan picked up his phone and made another call.

" do you know of any Pablo Calvastan in your family's hospital?"

" you called me at a time like this in working hours just to ask about an insignificant person in my family's hospital?" Guston didn't know what to say to this flamboyant second generation heir of a brother.

" if you have nothing important to say, I'm hanging up."

" wait! second brother, it's first brother that wants me to look for this person."

" He called me this morning to set up a cancer foundation in addition to the psychiatry foundation that my family is operating. " Ivan spoke so fast that he was out of breathe after finishing just a few lines.

" first brother asked you to open a cancer foundation just for one person?" Guston was surprised to hear this. Even he did not know who this Pablo Calvastan is. But he wouldn't humor this idiot.

" what does first brother's person have to do with you?"

" hey, don't say that. I'm in charge of him now. "

second brother, find out for me." And have your people move him to a single ward." " let's understand his situation." Ivan said as he rolled a pen between his fingers.

" Are you ordering me?" Guston raised his brow.

" first brother's orders." Ivan said. " or else, B city. " he added.

I'll tell Leon to make you stay there for a year." Guston said.

" No!.... second brother please. "

Guston knew immediately that Leon threatened Ivan with B city. So he was going to make sure this immature young man go there to experience life better.

" I'll call Leon myself." then he hanged up.

    “I didn’t think that this cute little Lolita would be such a bully. As expected of a princess of a rich family. They always feel they’re above everyone else.” Jael lamented as they made their way downstairs.“Let’s just mind our business while we’re here. We only have six months to perfect our courses before we debut.”“Yeah, I’m aware of that.” Jael pouted.it’s not like we’ll be the ones looking for trouble anyway. I just hope some people won’t come looking for our trouble.”Going downstairs and out of the building, they walked towards the main building. Before they got to the main building, though, they had to pass by the male dormitory.As they turned into a corner facing the main building, they bumped into a teenage boy who was between fifteen and seventeen years old, trying to run away from some people.“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry.” He shouted as he left them and climbed up the window of the basement of the male dorm building. Just as Jael was about to shout after him, a group

  • Her Man   Oh, so handsome!

    Lucia entered Pablo’s room after taking a shower. Looking at the young boy snuggled under a blanket, a fleeting smile formed at the corners of her lips. She sat on a chair beside his bed and arranged his blanket, covering him properly.Thinking of what Johnny said today, she couldn’t be more grateful to Leon. There was no harm in moving on with her life. And in these past few months, Leon has always been around to keep things in order in her life. He has basically taken care of everything concerning both her and Pablo, even to the extent that all those around her who have been good to her are also secretly getting help from him. For instance, Auntie Pam’s grandson, who just finished college and was in search of work, suddenly got an appointment letter from a company in her hometown.She was ready to finally move on. She would no longer dwell on the past. With this thought in mind, she kissed Pablo good night and walked out, closing the door gently behind her.Very soon, a call came in

  • Her Man   He… He smiled?!

    Sundown district… As the main gate opened, the car entered the drive way and drove towards the garage. As it passed by the fountain, the noticed two cars parked in the drive way. One was an unfamiliar car, but the other one even if burnt to ashes Leon would be able to identify it. The atmosphere immediately changed. His aura became so cold; you would think hades just descended from hell. Even the chauffeur could feel his bones tremble. He didn’t know why the old master was here, but it definitely wasn’t for something good. He parked the car in the garage and left as soon as he switched off the engine. He didn’t want to be at the cross fire of both masters. Though he wondered why the old master would go out of his way to come visit this grandson. It’s been close to eight years since he last met him. Of course it was the young master that refused to see him. After all, what happened back then was a very huge issue that cost the young master the life of a person he valued the most.

  • Her Man   He was jealous of the fact that Johnny was a part of Lucia’s past.

    Lucia on the other hand walked towards Leon while everyone’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Who is this lady that can just walk towards Leon without being pushed aside by his cold aura? As Lucia got closer, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Especially after what happened between them the other night. They have actually not communicated since that night. She didn’t know how to face him. Leon stood up as Lucia approached. Everyone around them held their breathe when this happened. This young master was really pissed this time. He isn’t even giving his best friend face and is about to walk away. Even Lucia was baffled as to why he’s suddenly stood up. As everyone was thinking this, the man in question walked towards Lucia, and pulled her into his arms.The people in the room “……!!!?” What the h*ll just happened? What did they just witness?! Did Leon, who was as cold and emotionless as an ice mountain… did he just hug a woman in front of them? This was like a moun

  • Her Man   Was that the man Lucia was seeing?

    Jael broke the silence by exclaiming “Is my male god here as well?” she turned to Lucia who looked more surprised than she was, judging from how red her face was at the moment.The other two girls looked at each other. From the conversation of these two, they could tell that Lucia’s boyfriend was here in this club as well. And was even seated in the VIP room. It just shows how influential this person was. They couldn’t help but be more curious as to who he really is. Lucia pushed her hair behind her ear, indicating that she was nervous and expectant as well. She hoped to see Leon, at the same time she was nervous of him entering their private room, with her friends around. “I don’t know. He didn’t say anything about coming here.” She replied Jael. Maybe he came here for business as well.” “Well, you may be right… But he could be here because a certain someone is here.” Jael smirked as she said mischievously. Lucia glared at her, abashed. She also wanted to know why Leon was there

  • Her Man   Did they have to really behave like leeches? They are really shameless.

    These were their roommates and she thought to just invite them, since they didn’t have any more friends. Who would have thought that they were this brainless? Lucia ignored them. These girls were very superficial. They only cared about fancy cloths and big brands. She wasn’t very close with them, but just because they shared a room and the fact that they didn’t have anybody else to invite, she didn’t mind it when Jael wanted to invite them. Anyway, it’ll end after today. They walked into the pub. As they walked inside, Ronnie Ann gasped at the beautiful and luxurious decoration. It wasn’t too high profile, but you could see that a lot of effort had been put into making it this cool. No wonder a lot of bigshots come here for business purposes. It makes one feel comfortable. A bar hostess immediately led them to their private room as soon as Lucia gave her name. She took them to a private room on the second floor. After entering, Ronnie Ann and the other roommate started to order. Jael l

    Lucia whose kiss has been stolen for the second time in the night, stared at the man’s back as he walked out of the apartment. What just happened? She didn’t agree to be his woman! She unconsciously touched her lip that has just been kissed and recalled the scene that took place a few minutes ago and her face started to burn from shyness again. His lips really were soft.As she was still in dream land, she didn’t know that Jael had come out of her room until she saw a light flash before her eyes. Jael took a picture of her dazed expression as she stood there with her hand on her lip. Lucia snapped out of her daze and realized that Jael had taken a picture of her just now.“What are you doing? Delete it right now.” She said as she tried to take the phone from her.“How was the kiss? Tell me all about it.”“What kiss? It was an accident.”“Accident? I saw everything just now. Including him perking you again and saying; “You are my woman from now on.” Jael tried to mimic Leon.“He didn’t

  • Her Man   “I’ll listen to sis.”

    Lucia noticed that at the mention of home, Pablo seems to have deflated.She squatted in front of him and said “You’re moving to my new apartment. It’s near my university. You’ll be living with me from now on. Auntie Pam will be taking care of you on days that I have a class. But you’ll have to move to a new school.”“Really?” Pablo was surprised as well as happy to hear that he didn’t have to go to that house again.“But my school is far from the university.”“You don’t have to worry about that. There is a school about 40km from the university. He can enroll there.”Pablo looked at Lucia for a second and said to Leon “I’ll listen to sis.”“Okay.”They all went down and completed the discharge procedure. Then drove to Lucia’s new apartment.A week later Pablo started a new school. Lucia and Jael had two more months to graduate and had a lot of papers to write before that. Everybody was busy with something, but they were all happy for a first time in the past few months.Leon stopped by

He always stayed away from them, showing how much he seem to care about anything concerning Miss Lucia.Leon sat on a bench in the corridor with the rest. He looked over at Lucia who seemed to be sitting quietly but had the word"worried" written all over her face.He knew he didn't have to console her, as she knows her limit.Just like that the group sat down for another 5hours until the red light above the OR went off. Lucia stood up as soon as she saw the nurses pushing Pablo out of the OR. Seeing his pale face, she couldn't stop a tear from rolling out of her eye. She knew that her brother must have suffered a lot from the time he came to this hospital until this surgery. But she was happy that at least the first and most difficult stage is over now.Ivan walked out after the nurses and looked at the people who have been sitting out here for over 8h
