In his eyes Relief
When she got to the hospital, Nora went straight to her father's room and his bed was empty. Nora sat right there on the floor and tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt a sting pain in her chest, she could not believe her dad was dead. She walked out to the corridor. Nora's tears continued to flow as her mother found her in the hospital corridor. She held her sleeping daughter close to her chest and struggled to speak. "How did it happen?" Nora choked out between sobs, her mind racing with dark thoughts.Her mother, realizing the misunderstanding, gently comforted her daughter. "Your dad is alive," she said, her voice wavering but filled with relief, "he's being prepped for surgery. I thought he was gone too when I first saw the empty bed, but he's getting the help he needs."Nora's fear began to subside as the weight of dread was lifted off her shoulders. She nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes, and held her mother close."But Mom," Nora said, her voice trembling, "why is he

"I wanted to see you," Alexander replied with a charming smile, "I thought these might brighten your day."The roses were undeniably lovely, their vibrant red petals an exquisite contrast to the awkwardness of the situation. Nora hesitated, torn between politeness and the impending date with Greg. She managed a weak smile and accepted the bouquet, trying to find the right words."I appreciate the gesture, Alexander," Nora said, "but I'm actually in the middle of something important right now. I have a prior engagement."Alexander's smile wavered slightly, and he glanced past Nora as if searching for clues to her earlier excitement. "Oh, I see. I didn't realize you had plans. Maybe another time, then?"Nora nodded, her heart heavy with the complication of the situation. "Yes, another time would be better. I'll call you."With that, she closed the door, the bouquet of roses now a reminder of the tangled threads of her personal life. Nora took a deep breath, pushing her mixed emotions as

In his eyes Time will tell
Alexander replied, his gaze steady, "I understand why you might think that, but no, it's not about buying forgiveness. I genuinely want to make amends and be there for Nora and Graycen. The surgery was the right thing to do, and I'm not expecting anything in return. I'm well aware of the mistakes I've made in the past."Nora's father studied Alexander's face for a moment, assessing the sincerity in his words. After a pause, he nodded, "Well, actions speak louder than words. Time will tell."Nora's mom got up, "deserts anyone?", Amanda asked in a bid to release the tension in the room. "Let me help you get it", Nora said as she got up and followed her mother to the kitchen. "Mom why is Dad making everything weird", Nora asked as she brought out the cake knife. "Your father is right in asking him questions. He can't just waltz in here like nothing happened, hoping to pick up from where he left off", Amanda stated. The conversation shifted back to lighter topics, and they all continue
In his eyes Printer

As she approached the elevator, her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed the button that would take her to her office floor.

The ticking of the clock echoed with the rhythm of their anxious hearts as they awaited the revelation that would connect the threads of their lives to an unseen benefactorThe sterile walls, adorned with medical charts and diplomas, seemed to amplify the gravity of the situation. Nora's fingers absentmindedly traced patterns on the armrest of her chair, a nervous habit that betrayed the storm of emotions brewing within her. Alexander, ever the stoic figure, sat beside her, his eyes fixated on the door as if willing it to open and unveil the secret they had been yearning to unravel.The doctor, a composed figure in a white coat, entered the room.

In his eyes I have some news
The sterile walls of the doctor's office seemed to shrink as Nora and Alexander sat, anticipation hanging heavy in the air. An hour had passed since the doctor's cryptic message, each tick of the clock stretching into an eternity. Finally, the doctor entered, her face unreadable."I have some news," she began, her voice a low hum in the tense silence. "We have a match."Nora's breath hitched. "A match?" she choked out, disbelieving."Yes," the doctor confirmed, a hint of a smile gracing her lips. "We had several potential donors come forward, and we've found a perfect match for your bone marrow transplant, Mr. Steele."Tears welled up in Nora's eyes, blurring the doctor's features. The dam within her broke, and a torrent of emotions cascaded down her cheeks. Relief, joy, disbelief - they all warred within her, leaving her speechless.

In his eyes Bad news
The door creaked open, revealing Alexander lying pale against the sterile white sheets. An IV drip snaked its way up his arm, the rhythmic drip-drop the only sound in the otherwise hushed room. Relief washed over Nora like a tidal wave, momentarily erasing the frantic worry that had clawed at her insides all morning. He was alive.Hesitantly, she approached the bedside, her eyes scanning his face for any sign of pain. His features were relaxed, seemingly lost in sleep.

"Doctor Thompson would like to see you in her office."Nora nodded, wiping her tears with a shaky hand. She needed answers. What had happened? Was he going to be okay?

In his eyes Last night
Unfortunately, you are not a bone marrow match for Alexander."Nora's heart juddered to a halt, the doctor's words echoing in the sterile void. Her vision blurred, and a choked gasp escaped her lips. Alexander's hand, warm and comforting, found hers, but it did little to soothe the storm raging within. Disappointment, fear, and a flicker of something she couldn't quite place – a cocktail of emotions churned in her stomach, leaving a metallic taste on her tongue.The doctor's voice continued, offering options, hope, but Nora was lost in the world of her own thoughts.

In his eyes Grecian gown
One week after Nora found out about Alexander's health condition her mind was constantly worried. Alexander was carrying on as if everything was right with the world, he spent every afternoon with his daughter and sometimes Nora would tag along on their little outings. They hadn't discussed the status of their relationship yet and Nora wasn't ready for that talk yet. That was why when Alexander invited her to be his date at an event she found it awkward and difficult to say no to him. As they sat in the back seat of Alexander's Rolls Royce, neither of them spoke to each other. Nora looked exquisite and she knew it, she was wearing one of the designs from her fashion line. It was a pale blue one-shoulder Grecian gown and the pearly bejewelled headpiece she had on matched the bejewelled belt that cinched the gown in at the waist showing off her hourglass shape. John Mason, a renowned hotelier, had just unveiled his five-star masterpiece, and the crème de la crème of New York City were
In his eyes It's a lot to ask
Alexander's words, calm on the surface but laced with desperation, hung heavy in the air. "I just... I didn't know how to tell you," he stammered, his gaze flickering between Nora and the envelope on the table.Nora's voice, laced with a tremor she couldn't control, cut through the silence. "Didn't know how to tell me you have leukaemia?" she echoed, the words raw and sharp. "But how could you do this, Alexander? How could you keep such a thing from me?"Nora was in a state of shock and so was Veronica. After calling and telling Nora what was written on the test result, she picked up her phone and went through the result again. From the result, Alexander just had a few months left. Veronica shook her head at the futility of life, she couldn't believe that Alexander was sick. The Alexander that used to physically and emotionally abuse Nora wasn't immortal after all. Tears welled up in Nora's eyes, blurring the vision of the envelope clutched in her hand. The medical jargon swam before

Why did he take their daughter to the hospital without telling her?Graycen's innocent words, "Dad took me to the hospital," kept replaying in her mind, making her angrier. She imagined scary scenes of needles and hospital rooms, making her more upset.Underneath her anger, a deeper fear crept in. What if something was seriously wrong with Graycen, and Alexander wasn't telling her? This thought scared her even more, and the quietness in her house made everything heavier.Miles away, Alexander was in a hospital bed, surrounded by machines.
