The next morning, in Shanghai, China,Barrett woke up early and went to Garrett's bedroom. After arriving in the room, he didn't see Garrett there, and this made him surprised. ‘It is 6am. Where could Garrett possibly be?’. He wondered before he left the room and went to the living room. Upon arriving in the living room, Barrett saw Garrett there. He was sitting on the sofa. Barrett’s heart underwent fright as soon as he saw the dark circles in Garrett's eyes. “Dude, what happened to your eyes?!”. He exclaimed.Garrett was rubbing his tired eyes with his palm, as he replied, “I couldn't fall asleep last night, Barrett. So I had to stay awake the whole night”. “I see. You're insane”. Barrett nodded as he said. Garrett was not bothered that Barrett called him ‘insane’. Instead, he asked curiously, “When are we heading to the airport?”. “We ought to leave here before 6:50am”. Barrett calmly answered Garrett's question, before he was about to leave the living room. Before that, he
8amThe plane coming from China had successfully landed at Phoenix city’s largest airport. In a hurry, Garrett rushed out of the plane, making it look as if he was being chased by someone dangerous. Barrett went after Garrett because he had no choice. Garrett had triumphantly arrived outside the airport after passing through the airport’s security procedures. He hailed a cab before he saw that Barrett had not yet arrived at his side. Turning behind him, he said impatiently, “Hurry up, Barrett! We have to get into the cab together. Or are you planning to hail a different cab for yourself?”. “Ugh, he's making it quite obvious that he's in a hurry”. Barrett mumbled under his breath before he arrived at Garrett's side.After Barrett and Garrett had entered the cab, the driver put their luggages inside the boot and subsequently entered the cab before he drove off. “Garrett, you can ease your mind now. It's an hour's drive. Pretty soon, we'll see our sister”. “You're right, Barrett.
The cab driver stopped the car after arriving at the destination. Garrett got out of the car quickly, and rushed into their mansion. He didn't even remember to take his luggage with him.Barrett also got out of the car. He shook his head because of the way Garrett had behaved. He was sincerely glad that they had arrived because Garrett had been so impatient during the drive. And Garrett's impatience made him uncomfortable. “Young sir, why is your brother behaving so desperately? Is he eager to see his wife or children or someone important? I had to speed up because of him”. The cab driver suddenly asked, as he gave Barrett the two luggages that were in his hands. Barrett collected both luggages from the cab driver's hands. ‘Can he talk? What a surprise. He didn't say a single word throughout the drive, so I assumed he was a mute’. He mused. “Young sir?”. “Oh, here you go”. Barrett paid the cab driver, before he turned and was heading toward the gates. He didn't answer the cab dri
“So, after you and Barrett left the city, Vivianne saved a stranger who was shot in his leg. After that, Vivianne booked for me and her a month of training sessions at the boxing gym, and our coach there was Jimmy. To cut the story short, my fake father attacked the mansion and tried to take me away, but before that could happen, Mr Alan and uncle Alastair showed up”. Kelly explained. ‘So it was Mr Brooks who attacked the mansion that day? I should have clearly known. How dare he do that?’. Alastair thought, before he secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. His face also darkened. Kelly was feeling extremely excited to share all the story with Barrett and Garrett, so she continued to explain, “Mr Alan and uncle Alastair then took Vivianne and I with them. I bet they couldn't bear to leave Vivianne behind in the mansion, because it would probably be dangerous for her there”. “Tsk. Says who? Alan and I would have endured perfectly if we had left Vivianne behind”. Alas
1pm, Barrett and Garrett, including Kelly, were extremely anxious because Vivianne had already been moved to the operating room. Even the neurosurgeon, including the chief resident, had entered the operating room, as they were now ready to perform neurosurgery (aka brain surgery) on the patient. The doors to the operating room were shut. Garrett was so nervous and unsettled. He couldn't control the way he was feeling. He said, “Barrett, please tell me everything is going to be alright. Tell me, our little sister is going to be okay. Just tell me any assuring words”. Because of the way Garrett was behaving, Alastair looked at him in disbelief, and said, “Please, stop being a crybaby. You're hurting my ears with those loud noises of yours”. Garrett immediately focused his gaze on Alastair and glared at him. “Mind your own business, Alastair. And why aren't you worried about Vivianne? After all, everything happened under your watch!”. He growled. Alastair also glared at Garret
“Theodore is the one calling you, Aurora? But what does he want from you?”. Raquel raised an eyebrow as she asked her. Upon hearing Raquel's questions, Aurora gestured her hands, indicating that she had no idea. She was staring at Raquel when she replied, “I have no idea why Theodore is calling me. But, there's obviously a way to find out”. After saying this, Aurora turned to Genevieve and asked her, “Mom, should I answer the call? Or should I ignore it?”. ‘Hmm’. Genevieve put her fingers on her chin as she was carefully thinking about what decision to make. “Well, mom?”. Aurora asked, because the call would soon end if she didn't answer it right now. “Alright. You can answer the call, Aurora. I'm also curious to know why Theodore is suddenly calling you today”. Genevieve said to Aurora, before she nodded at her in acknowledgment. Aurora also nodded at her mom. “Here goes nothing”. She said, as she finally answered the call. Immediately after the call was answered, a deep vo
Theodore couldn't believe what nurse Chu hua had informed him about. He wanted to see the patient with his own eyes, before he would believe. He ran out of his condo as if he had seen a ghost. The minute he arrived at the condo's parking lot, he entered his car, after which he drove off to the hospital. Because Theodore was careful with observing the road traffic signs, he arrived at the hospital a few minutes later than he had expected. He parked his car and got out of it, before he hurried toward the building before him. Theodore located the vip ward that he had in mind. He halted as he heard voices inside the ward. He wanted to see what was going on, causing him to enter the ward without a moment’s hesitation. Upon arriving inside the ward, Theodore was stunned when he saw Beatrice there. “Lady Beatrice, what a splendid surprise. I had no idea you would come”. Beatrice stopped the thing she was doing and looked at Theodore, who had talked to her. She replied to him, “I oug
Pearl wiped the tears from her eyes before turning to Beatrice, who was staring at her. She said, “Young lady, can you please help me out? I want to return home to my family”. Although Beatrice felt a little unhappy, she was glad that Pearl had not only woken up, but had also regained her sound health. She replied to her, saying, “Ma’am, you don't have to worry about anything. I will help you return home whenever you want”. “How about tomorrow? I want to see my family as soon as possible. I want them to know that I am alright”. Pearl replied to Beatrice without hesitation.After giving thought to what Pearl had to say to her, Beatrice announced, “I'll try my best to arrange your flight today. So that tomorrow, you can travel to Phoenix City”. “Wait”. Out of the blue, Theodore said to them. “What is it, Theodore?”. Beatrice asked him.“Tomorrow will be my flight to Phoenix City, lady Beatrice. I know someone at the airport who could schedule a flight for her tomorrow, as soon as po
“Debbie?”Debbie stood up from bed after she saw Alan. She was staring at him but didn't exactly know what to say to him. As she was about to lower her head in disappointment, that was when Alan rushed towards her and embraced her.“I miss you so much, Debbie!”. Alan continued to hug her as he said. What shocked Kelly was the minute she saw Alan crying. “What?”. She was so stunned because she had not expected a scary looking man like Alan to be crying like a baby. She wanted to stand up, unfortunately, she had no choice but to refrain from doing that because she had stressed her injured leg when she stubbornly went to make food for Debbie, despite the way the chefs had pleaded for her to step aside. “I- I missed you too”. Debbie cried out, before Alan stopped hugging her and held her hands. Alan had a guilty expression on his face as he stared at Debbie's eyes and apologised to her, “I’m truly sorry for blaming you all these years. I should never have doubted you for even a second”
Alastair drove all the way to Mr Brooks' mansion with an angry look on his face. Because the front of his car had the Alvarez logo attached to it, the security guard of Mr Brooks' mansion opened the gates for him without delay. Alastair drove into the mansion before he got out of the car. He had a piercing look in his golden eyes as he stared at the building in front of him. “Brooks! Get out of here this instant!”. Alastair yelled. His blood was boiling with insane anger because he was anxious and worried about Kelly. Since Mr Brooks didn't come out of his mansion, Alastair decided to storm in. But before he could enter the building in front of him, one of the security guards who happened to be sweating on his forehead approached him and said, “Mr Brooks is not around, Mr Alvarez”. “He's not around?”. Alastair muttered, and his eyes darkened, as he became even more suspicious of Mr Brooks. ‘Could he be at his company?’. He wondered. ‘But come to think of it, how did Mr
Vivianne was able to recognise the doctor because he was wearing his doctor's uniform. She was also able to recognise Ray, causing her eyes to darken as she glared at him. “You. I know you. You are one of Mr Brooks’ men who attacked Kelly and I before”. Barrett was staring at Ray, but after hearing what his little sister said, he glared at Ray. He demanded an answer, “You attacked my little sister? How dare you?!”. “Doctor, can you explain to me what's going on right now? Who's that guy standing next to you?”. Garrett asked him after he had started glaring at Ray. ‘This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person’. He thought to himself because of the way Ray was dressed and had an aura of authority surrounding him. Before the doctor could say anything, Ray walked towards them and introduced himself, “I'm Detective Ray. I came here as soon as I could after confirming that you three siblings were in this hospital. And Vivianne, I'm sorry for what happened between us before. I was
Shark had arrived with Mr Brooks in the uncompleted building.He got confused and halted after he saw one of his comrades unconscious on the dusty ground. “What happened here?”. He muttered, as he continued to be confused. Out of curiosity, he went ahead and bent down, before he placed two fingers beneath his unconscious comrade’s nose. He sighed in relief after he confirmed that his comrade was still alive. After standing up and turning to Mr Brooks who was behind him, Shark said to him, “He's alive. No need to panic. I'll figure out what's going on”. “You had better figure out what's going on. I didn't come all the way here to waste my precious time. Where's your boss? And where’s the girl I told you guys to capture for me?”. Mr Brooks demanded an answer. He was quite impatient. “Like I've said, Mr Brooks, I'll figure out what's going on. Just give me some time”. “Fine. I'll give you only ten minutes. Find out what's going on. In the meantime, I'm leaving this place. Whatever ha
The mother and daughter spent many minutes crying and cuddling each other. It was later on that they both stopped crying and settled down on the bed. Kelly rested her head on her mother's lap. It had been long since she last experienced the love of having a mother in her life. “Mommy, there's something important I must tell you about. Would you mind hearing me out?”.“Of course, my sweetie. You can tell me about it. I will gladly listen to you”. Debbie assured Kelly, and was gently patting her head in the process.“Mom, I've already discovered that Mr Brooks is not my father. Actually, I've met my real father, Mr Alan. I was living in his mansion before I was kidnapped by the men Mr Brooks had hired”. Kelly explained to Debbie, who gasped in disbelief. Debbie quickly lifted Kelly's head, which was resting on her lap. She began staring at Kelly but didn't know what to say because she was currently speechless. As if Kelly knew what her mother wanted to ask her, she smiled and said, “
“What do you mean Kelly is in trouble, Alastair? Did anything happen to her?”. Vivianne asked him. “When I woke up this morning, I couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. And now that I've seen that she's not in the hospital with you, it could only mean one thing”. Alastair paused, talking. Suspense filled the air before he continued saying, “Kelly must be in trouble! I have to find her before it's too late!”. “Wa- wait, wait, Alastair. Why do you assume that Kelly is in trouble? You can't jump into conclusions like this, simply because you don't know Kelly's whereabouts”. Vivianne said to him. She tried to stand up, but couldn't, because an IV was inside her vein. The minute Garrett noticed that Vivianne was about to remove the IV, he rushed and stopped her, by holding her hand. “Don't be reckless, Vivianne. Always think about your health first before you ever act”. He frowned as he said to her. Vivianne sighed. She shifted her attention back to Alastair afterward. Alasta
Warnings: This chapter contains violence and death.Location, An uncompleted building that was located in a remote village. Five men gathered around the lady who was asleep. Their eyes were piercing as they stared at her. They were angry, because the person who had hired them for this job had not yet arrived. “Boss, should we continue to wait for him? We should sell her if he doesn't show up and pay us for the job”. One of the men, who tied a red bandana around his head, suggested. He was the most impatient one among all of them. The eldest man, who happened to be holding a gun, frowned. He was the boss that the guy with the red bandana was talking to. His name was Gunnar, and he was very muscular compared to his lower comrades. Gunnar replied to him, “Be patient, Shark. If that man doesn't show up in the next 15 minutes, I'll make sure that this young lady suffers beyond anyone's imagination. One way or the other, it's going to be fun for us”. The other men agreed with what the
Alastair went ahead to look for Kelly. It wasn't a serious search at first, but after many minutes had passed, and he had not seen Kelly, he began to panic gradually. Alastair's panicking got worse after he couldn't find Kelly anywhere in the mansion. It was almost as if she suddenly disappeared. He returned inside the mansion in a hurry and went to meet butler Robert, who was busy taking care of the household affairs. Butler Robert, who was carefully going through the list in his hand, had to stop what he was doing because of Alastair. Alastair was standing in front of him and was breathing heavily, as if he had run a marathon. “Bu- butler Robert, are you really sure you didn't see Kelly this morning? I can't find her anywhere in the house!”. Alastair said to him without delay. “Isn't lady Kelly in her room, young master Alastair?”. Butler Robert asked him. “Of course she's not in her room, butler Robert. I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find her”. Alastair re
The hospital, Last night, after Kelly had left the hospital with Alastair, Barrett and Garrett returned to their mansion. They arranged the whole place and took their showers, before they returned to the hospital this morning. Barrett and Garrett were both sitting on the sofa that was positioned next to the window. Garrett, who was looking more worried than Barrett, suddenly asked, “Big twin, why hasn't Vivianne woken …” He couldn't finish talking because Barrett exclaimed. “She's waking up!”. Barrett pointed a finger at Vivianne and exclaimed, as he couldn't hold back his excitement. Immediately, Barrett and Garrett stood up from the sofa at the same time. They hurried to Vivianne's side, and their eyes sparkled the instant Vivianne stared at both of them. “Bro- brothers? What are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in China by now?”. Vivianne's voice was gentle and calm as she asked Barrett and Garrett. She examined her surroundings, before she asked them again, “W
