Just a few minutes Clarabelle and Susan were sitting in front of Adriano's room when Jordan appeared with Lorenz. Clarabelle's heart throbbed. It hurt to stab again. But she suppressed it, not wanting to show it in front of Susan and Lorenz. Especially if later in front of her father."Honey... how is Papa?" Jordan stood in front of Clarabelle. He reached out and took Clarabelle by both shoulders.Clarabelle reluctantly looked at Jordan. She slightly lowered her head. "He is sleeping. His condition is bad.”Jordan took a deep breath. "Can I see him?"Clarabelle nodded. Without speaking she stood up and walked into the room followed by Jordan. In the room, Adriano was still sleeping. But it was clear he looked pale and very weak. Jordan stood by the bed, looking at the simple and patient man.When Adriano found out what Jordan was doing, he didn't chase Jordan away from Clarabelle. Adriano asked Jordan to open his heart, change his behavior, and only loved his wife. Jordan said yes to
"Papa is sick, very sick. If he finds out you and I are fighting…” Clarabelle looked at Jordan. She felt her heart falling apart. But she didn't want to lose to the situation. She just wanted her father to be healthy again.“Lala…” Jordan was relieved, but his heart was also shrinking. Clarabelle decided to stay, wanting to be by Jordan's side, for Adriano's sake. It meant it was not sincere because she really wanted to be with Jordan."I just want daddy to be healthy. Whatever I can, I'll do it. If being by your side would make Papa strong again, I will not leave." Clarabelle finished her sentence."Thank you," Jordan said quietly. Well, indeed Adriano was the reason Clarabelle stayed. It didn't matter. At least he and Clarabelle wouldn't be apart and Jordan had a chance to once again fight to prove he was in love with his wife."So, in front of Papa, we'll play it all good. Okay?" Clarabelle's gaze returned sharp. Jordan didn't say anything. He would try to accept this.Jordan's cel
Karen was very surprised by Clarabelle's courage. She didn't shrink at all even though Karen kept trying to defend herself, and instead blamed Clarabelle for entering Jordan's life for marrying that man.“I do have an old mind, not as free as you. But I'm proud of it, Karen. Because I hold something right and not something reprehensible. You should know yourself, and get out of a married man's life." Clarabelle's hands clenched, the more she dared to speak."Who cares what you say? I love Jordan, I will get him again, anyway," said Karen. She couldn't possibly give in to a simple woman like Clarabelle. “Too bad, you have to accept reality. Jordan can't be with you anymore." Karen stared at Karen even more intently. She had to get Karen out of Jordan's life."Then you also have to accept the fact that behind you, Jordan and I will continue to be intimate...""I don't know whether you have a heart or not, whether your brain is functioning properly or not." Clarabelle interrupted Karen.
Karen took two steps forward and tightly hugged Jordan. She felt the masculine scent of Jordan that she liked. In a few minutes, all would pass. Karen closed her eyes, enjoying the strength of Jordan's arms and chest as she hugged him tighter. She didn't want to do more, just hugged him."I have to go, Karen. Forgive me." Jordan let go of Karen. Then he walked out of the room without looking back.Karen looked at Jordan with tears almost spilling out of the corners of her eyes. “You will never be mine, Joy. Never." Karen said quietly.Jordan didn't want to look back at all, he walked away with relief that slowly filled his heart. Karen would no longer be between him and Clarabelle. In the next stage, he would struggle even harder to make Clarabelle smile again. Starting the struggle, Jordan would surprise Clarabelle. He didn't know what it was yet, but it had to be something very special so that Clarabelle would soften and open her heart wide for Jordan ag
Adriano's words made Clarabelle's heart fall apart. Was it really not going to last? No. Clarabelle didn't want to lose Adriano. She was not ready. She still wanted to be with his father longer. "Papa… I'm calling the doctor now." Clarabelle let go of Adriano's hand. Adrian shook his head. With a slight shudder, he took Clarabelle's hand and put it back together again with Jordan's. "A little more, Lala..." said Adriano. Clarabelle couldn't hold back her tears. Her body felt unsteady. Was it really the last time she was with her father? “You… promise…” Adriano looked with haggard eyes and a tired look. “Promise… anything… don't be apart…” "Yes, I promise, I will not be separated from Jordan, I will be his wife for the rest of my life. But Papa must be healthy. Papa will see me and Jordan going on together." Clarabelle spoke firmly and quickly, assuring Adriano that she would do as Adriano asked. Adrian smiled. Then he turned his gaze to Jordan. “Jordan…” Jordan felt a strong th
James immediately let go of Clarabelle's hand. He looked at Jordan who glared at him hatefully.“Jordan…” Almost simultaneously James and Clarabelle said that name.“Nice, it is so nice.” Jordan smiled bitterly. His face was flushed with his hands clenched at his sides. “I wouldn't be surprised if you repeated what you did before, James. You always want to destroy me.""Jordan, don't get me wrong. Lala and I, there is nothing between us. She is sad, and I…”"Come on, James. You again are a loser. You don't want to admit what you did. Don't you finish to make me crush? Wasn’t it enough that you got rid of Annette?” Jordan's gaze of hatred deepened. His words brought out the emotions and wounds that he had been harboring.“Jordan! You know all that is not true!” Firmly, slightly screaming, James asked Jordan not to force his thoughts."Go ahead. I hope you enjoy your togetherness.” With a huge angry face, Jordan turned around and quickly walked away.“Jordan!” called Clarabelle. Jordan
That night Jordan did not come to the hospital. When Adriano asked, Clarabelle had to lie because there was work that couldn't be left behind. Jordan didn't answer Clarabelle's messages, nor did he take calls.“He was really angry. What should I do?" thought Clarabelle. She was very restless. Things with Karen have just finished, while Jordan Clarabelle hadn't really been resolved, a new problem aroused.Increasingly agitated, Clarabelle called Susan. She couldn't bear all the pressure that was coming. She needed to pour out the fatigue that was whacking her heart. Susan immediately came to the hospital, even though it was almost midnight.“I'm really sorry, Susan. It is really hard for me.” Clarabelle rubbed her eyes which were starting to water. She didn't want to cry, but she could barely keep the tears from dripping down her cheeks."I'm actually glad you wanted to tell me. If you don't say anything, how can I know what you're feeling and thinking.” Susan looked at Clarabelle with
As soon as possible Clarabelle back to the hospital. Along the way, her heart was very anxious. She continued to pray that God gave mercy, Adriano would be able to get through the tough situation he was currently facing. Traveling by car and moving fast enough felt so long. Crystal clear bead slid across Clarabelle's eyes several times without her being able to hold it.“God, please, please… I don't get tired of asking, please save Papa. Please, don't take him. I will be alone. I need my daddy. Please…” Over and over the same words Clarabelle whispered as she looked down the street.As soon as the car was parked, Clarabelle got out and ran as fast as her footsteps could toward Adriano's room. The room was closed, and Clarabelle knew that meant the doctors and nurses were inside working on Adriano. Clarabelle peered through the window.A doctor and three nurses were inside. Clarabelle tensed even more. She didn't know what they did, what was certain was that Clarabelle's heart was gett
