"Mr Wyatt, your mom is admitted to the hospital."

"What?"

* At the hospital *

"Mrs Amy. Someone came to see you." As the nurse reported so, Amy looked at the door excitedly but her excitement died down the moment she saw who came to see her.

With a grumpy face, she looked away and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Audrey put the fruit basket on the table and smiled at the nurse. The moment she heard that Amy got sick, she came to see her first. The nurse looked at the two women in confusion and Audrey told her that she was her daughter-in-law so the nurse left.

"I don't want to see you, leave right now." Amy shot her an annoyed gaze as she saw she was smiling.

"You thought by faking your sickness, you will have him do whatever you want?"

Slightly startled, she gulped and uttered, "Who said I am faking it? I..."

    The cloak was ticking down and her patience was getting outnumbered. The skirt she wore was too tight and because of wearing pencil heels, Grace could barely move freely. She grabbed onto the glass of drink firmly and stood up from her seat."Come on! Miss Grace, drink up!" Grace forced herself to smile, holding the glass high and then shutting her eyes off, she drank it. With Lucas she had to come to a party, it turned out there were all the men around, old mostly. She has been drinking a lot because Lucas said so."Bravo! Miss Grace is such a good drinker." Saying so, an old man pulled her to his lap. Holding her waist he touched her face, "Miss Grace, why don't you drink with me? Let's drink together."With a single punch, she felt like breaking the two teeth he had but... It was not the situation now."I... I can't anymore..." She could barely keep her focus, even unable to move. At first, she started drinking with the thoughts that she would be able to not get drunk but... The o

"I checked earlier, and he was fine. Why does he have a fever all of a sudden?" Audrey panickedly touched his forehead and she got worried. Indeed, his body was hot."I have called the doctor. He is on his way." Apollo touched his forehead and sat next to him worriedly."Mummy, I am cold." Hearing Maverick they both hugged him. The doctor soon reached there and Audrey was seated next to Maverick. The doctor stared at Maverick, he found out he had no fever, Maverick winked at him so did the doctor.

    Peeking into the room, Maverick watched Audrey when she was talking to someone on the call and Preston checked the surrounding.In a soft hushed tone, he voiced, "Everything is clear here. Mummy is alone.""Great." Maverick gave him a thumbs up. They waited for her to finish her conversation first.Upon seeing she was done talking, they both ran to the next room. "Mummy, please can you give me a towel? I forgot to bring it inside." Maverick screamed a little louder when his brother hid quickly."Wait, I am coming." Getting a towel, Audrey slowly walked towards the bathroom. She knocked at the door.As the door opened she put her feet inside, extending her hands towards him. "Here, Mike."But as a hand held her hand instead of the towel itself, she quickly understood it was a prank."Apollo." She widened her eyes, getting nervous and mumbled. "Uhmm, sorry. Mike said he... He needed a towel so... I will leave right now "Saying so as she quickly turned to leave, suddenly he held the tow

    Rolling to the other side of the bed, Grace smiled staring at the ceiling. She was neither happy nor sad, she didn't even know what she was feeling except that she felt like a bird, so free."Where are you going?" In her world of imagination, she was so lost that she didn't notice, another person was also present there.Grace smiled at Patrick half-heartedly and then said, "I have thought about it... I am gonna take a break from everything.""Take a break?""Hmm...""How about... How about us?" Patrick asked her, he thought of talking to her but instead, he got a surprise, she was leaving.His sudden question paused her, for a moment her fingers fidgeted with the handle of her luggage as she stared blankly and was inattentive, "About us... There was nothing about us. I guess you have either forgotten her or want her back. I will leave it to you. Do as your heart says."Disappointed, he asked, "When will you be back?""Maybe... I am gonna stay a little longer this time. Not sure about

I will go for the transplant." Placing an envelope on the desk she answered. Upon hearing her, both Jessy and Saun smiled brightly. Avery has thought of it, when Saun suggested that she would go through the cornea transplant she didn't answer right away. She waited for weeks to give him a surprise."Ow, what is it?" "It's a surprise, please open it when you are alone."* At Night *Standing near the window, Avery was occupied with the questions in her head when suddenly a hand encircled her belly.A radiant smile appeared at the corner of her lips and s

    Nearly two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, Apollo took care of her for a week until he had some urgent matters to take care of in the company so he had to leave."Mr Wyatt," Gasping for breath, Daniel hurriedly got in the elevator, he looked quite anxious as if there was bad news soon to be revealed.Apollo furrowed his brows as he asked, "What happened?""The warehouse in the Giant Perilla branch has been burnt." "What? How about the goods?" Apollo asked worriedly."Thankfully, the goods were not delivered back then so they are safe now but... But some of our staff got injured, they are sent to the hospital, they are in critical condition."Hearing him both Noah and Apollo looked at each other. Noah couldn't keep calm and contended out of anger, "Someone must want to warn us to not investigate the case anymore."Apollo clenched his fists and whacked his hand on the wall as he voiced, "They dare to do this.

    "Boss, Mr Kobayashi has given the ownership of his company to someone suddenly.""What?"Daniel hurriedly turned on the tv, just like he reported earlier the newsfeed was full of Mr Kobayashi's news."Mr Kobayashi has been working with us for a long time, everyone knows him as a kind and loyal man. Rumours had it that his younger brother was notorious and a decisive man, who can go to great lengths to get what he wants." With a remorseful sigh, Noah voiced so."Yeah, I also heard that he killed his father so he could be the CEO of his father's company but it backfired him because he never knew that his father already had a will, and according to the will his older brother was the supposed CEO..." Daniel added."But it's strange that Mr Kobayashi has passed his position to a new person and especially when it's not his younger brother but a total stranger."Both Apollo and Noah seemed shocked. "What do you mean his younger brother is not the CEO, then who?""Well, It's Jennifer Knight

Placing the cup on the table he asserted so a little playfully.Taking a sip of the coffee, she looked at the outside world from the window.

    With a smile plastered on his face, Apollo extended his hand, searching for her who was supposed to lie next to him on the bed. "Babe" As he opened his eyes, he was surprised. The side of the bed was empty, with his slightly dizzy head he sat on the bed, putting a pillow behind him.At first, he thought that she was in the bathroom but after calling her names and waiting for fifteen minutes as she still didn't show up, Apollo felt something was surely wrong."As far as I remember we were together before I fell asleep, she is supposed to be here...

Instead of answering her, he questioned her."Drea said there was something urgent so I came to see her. How about you?"Hearing her Noah raised his brows, "She told me the same thing.""Damn it! It's worrying me, it must be something important that she..." Isla was thinking of the reasons when Noah suddenly held her hand. "What?"He took a peek around and dragged her close to his car."Noah, what is it?""You told me that you had something important in the hospital, it was because of this issue, right?"Smiling cheekily at him she rubbed the back of her head, while lying to him about why she couldn't go on a date with him she didn't think things would turn o
