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
The next day, in Shanghai, China It was morning in China, and Theodore had prepared for his flight to Phoenix city. He dressed in casual wear, as he found it really comfortable. There was a charming smile on his face as he dragged his luggage with him and left his condominium. When he arrived outside, he hailed a cab and entered it. He didn't drive his car to the airport because there was no point in doing that. It took a few minutes before Theodore arrived at the airport. He paid the driver and got out of the cab, before walking toward the airport. Upon his arrival inside the airport, he saw that both Beatrice and Pearl were already waiting for him. Theodore went to their side with haste. He was surprised when he said, “Both of you came to the airport earlier than I expected”. “Of course, Theodore. Lady Pearl and I ought to arrive at the airport on time. We wouldn't want to miss our flight”. Beatrice replied to him. And after briefly staring at Pearl, who looked dist
The next day,Kendrick's mansion,It was 7am and Brianna was still asleep on Harry's bed. She had not woken up yet because she fell asleep late last night. Ever since the day she returned from her father's mansion, she had been thinking.She had been feeling the urge to tell Kendrick the truth about what her father had done to him that day. She wanted to tell him she wasn't the one who spiked his drink that day, but rather, it was her father's doings. But at the same time, she felt guilty and unfilial. She couldn't bring herself to tell Kendrick the truth, no matter how much she had tried to. Harry, who had already woken up from sleep, got down from bed and left the room because he didn't want to wake his mother. Upon arriving outside his room, Harry was happy to see his father, Kendrick, who was standing close-by to his room, and was answering a phone call. It turns out that Kendrick had been standing outside Harry's bedroom for a long time. And when he heard footsteps of someon
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
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
A year later, The boxing gym, Vivianne’s eyes were shut, and she was standing in front of a punching bag. She was wearing grey shorts, together with a black tank top, and punching gloves. The clothes she wore revealed her fairly muscular body, but her six-pack was hidden behind the tank top. She took a deep breath, before opening her eyes. Her gaze was fierce, and her brows furrowed as she stared at the punching bag, before attacking it with the different punching and kicking techniques she had learned over the months under coach Jimmy’s supervisor. The punching bag eventually scattered, thanks to Vivianne's brutal attacks on it. “Wow, you've greatly improved, Vivianne!”. Jimmy clapped as he said to her. He had been standing close and had been watching her. He was proudly smiling as he approached her with a towel. Vivianne chuckled. She collected the towel from Jimmy and used it to wipe the sweat on her face and neck. She was still wiping away her sweat when she ask
The eyes of the shareholders were fixed on Theodore and they never left his side. The long silence was starting to become too awkward. Taking a deep breath in, Theodore’s gaze became serious. He said, “Who among you were the ones that daringly tried to take over this company after my father was imprisoned?”. “Ahem”. The shareholders cleared their throats and avoided staring at Theodore. Their action made Theodore frown and get up from his seat. He slammed both his hands on the long table, and they flinched. He said to them, “I will let your betrayal slide this time, because if I should fire all of you right now, the company would be shaken. But if you dare try to take over this company next time, you will find out that a doctor can also get crazy”. After saying that, Theodore looked at the shareholders' faces and didn't avert his gaze from them for even a second. The aura that surrounded him was filled with authority. He was reminding them that after Richard, his father, he w
“What?! You and my father are seriously getting married tomorrow?!”. Kelly exclaimed, and when Debbie excitedly nodded at her, she stiffened, before she let out a really excited scream. “That's awesome, Mom. This is great news. No wonder you are so happy”. “Yeah, Kelly. I'm finally getting married to the love of my life tomorrow”. Debbie nodded and said. Tears escaped from her eyes as she thought about how she and Alan would have gotten married years ago, if only that wicked and evil Mr Brooks had never crossed paths with her. Seeing the tears that escaped from Debbie's eyes, Kelly stopped smiling. She caressed Debbie's face and wiped the tears away from it, before asking, “What is it, mom? Why are you suddenly crying?”. Debbie sniffed her nose and held onto Kelly's hand when she said, “I am so happy, Kelly. But, thinking about how that evil Mr Brooks caused your father and I to be apart from each other for such a long time is breaking my heart. I wish your father had succeeded in
“Anne”. Vivianne's eyes widened as soon as she heard Pearl's voice. ‘What is this? Why does her voice sound so familiar to me?’. She thought to herself and blinked twice. She stared at Barrett and Garrett again, and after she had recollected herself, she asked them, “Brothers, please tell me what is going on. Do you know them? Are they your business friends? Who are they?”. Barrett and Garrett went and stood beside Pearl, who was sitting on the chair that was positioned next to Vivianne's bed. With his eyes fixed on Vivianne, Garrett placed his hands on Pearl's shoulders and said to her, “Vivianne, look at this lady closely. Can't you really tell who she is?”.‘Why did Brother Garrett talk like that? It's as if he wants me to know this lady. But I-’. Vivianne stopped thinking to herself and placed a hand on her chest because of the strong emotion she felt. She ignored her surroundings and everyone and paid attention to only Pearl, who smiled at her. She felt goosebumps all over h
Beatrice parked the car outside the hospital as they arrived. They all got out of the car, before Barrett and Garrett led the way. One of the nurses saw the two new faces who were about to enter Vivianne's ward. She wanted to stop them and ask questions, but later decided not to because she trusted Barrett and Garrett, who were with them. As they finally entered Vivianne's ward, Pearl’s eyes coincidentally darted to the bed. There, she saw her daughter, Vivianne, who was asleep at the moment. “Anne. My precious Anne”. Pearl muttered as she approached the bedside. She carefully sat on the bed as she didn't want to wake Vivianne, who was sound asleep. Pearl's eyes were filled with love and tears as she watched her daughter. The last time she saw Vivianne, Vivianne was a little girl. But now, things have changed. Vivianne was now a fully grown-up lady. And despite these great changes, she easily recognised her as her daughter. Vivianne's face was not pale, causing Pearl to feel at
Mr Hart’s mansion,Theodore was inside one of the guest rooms. He was standing, the same as Raquel, who was making sure that the room was in order. A smile was on his face as he stared at Raquel. “Raquel, I have told you, Aurora and your mother countless times, it's not that late. I can return to my hotel room”. “Don’t argue with me, Theodore. I'm older than you, and I know better. Stay here tonight, and tomorrow, you and I can go to your father's company and prevent those greedy shareholders from taking over the company”. Raquel scolded him. “We're the same age”. Raquel turned to Theodore upon hearing what he said to her. She said, “I'm a month older than you. So, logically speaking, it counts. I'm older”. Theodore quietly nodded at Raquel because he didn't want him and her to start arguing with each other. “Good. Now, goodnight and sleep tight”. Raquel patted Theodore's shoulder and said this to him, before she turned to the exit door and began to leave the room. “Wait, Raq
Barrett and Garrett had to look at each other because of the dangerous aura their mother was emitting. Without any doubt, they came to the conclusion that Vivianne and their mother had similar characteristics. “Mother, please calm down. Don't get angry too much. Mr Brooks has already been caught and punished. He would spend the rest of his life behind bars until he dies”. Garrett assured her. “But what does that change, Garry? Him spending his remaining life in jail doesn't mean your father and grandparents will ever come back to life”. Pearl said to him, before she stood up. She started pacing back and forth as she ran her fingers through her hair.After she stopped pacing back and forth, she asked, “You said your father's body hasn't been found, right? So I believe he is not dead. He's probably alive somewhere. I am going to find him no matter what! Anyway, where is your sister? Why don't I see her?”. Garrett breathed out in relief upon seeing that Pearl had calmed down. He ans
“Everyone, let's quickly go inside the mansion”. After they stopped hugging, Barrett said to them. He opened the gate using its remote, before he collected the sports car key from Garrett and went and entered the car. As Barrett drove into the mansion, Garrett, Pearl, including Beatrice, who had decided not to leave, entered the mansion.The gate was locked by Barrett after he had gotten out of the car. “Please, mom, follow me inside the house. Have you eaten dinner?”. Barrett asked her. “No. She has not eaten anything yet. She didn't even eat lunch”. Beatrice replied to Barrett on behalf of Pearl, who had almost replied to Barrett.“Who…?”. Barrett asked. It was now that he and Garrett noticed the unfamiliar face, Beatrice. Beatrice paused when she saw how Barrett and Garrett were staring at her with suspicious eyes. “Oh”. She reacted after she understood why they were staring at her. She introduced herself, “I am Doctor Beatrice. I'm the owner of Beatrice's hospital, which is lo
It was evening and Barrett and Garrett left the hospital. They were returning home as they wanted to take their baths. Their bodies were itching them, since their last bath was last night. Garrett was the one who was driving the red sports car, because last night, Barrett was the one who drove. …..Pearl and Beatrice had been waiting outside the mansion's gates ever since the moment they arrived, as Pearl was serious about not leaving.‘I’m so tired and hungry. I haven't eaten lunch or dinner. My stomach is currently angry at me’. Beatrice thought to herself while she kept a poker face. She couldn't let Pearl see that she was exhausted. After waiting for 10 more minutes, Beatrice gave up. She stopped squatting on the ground and stood up. She extended her right hand towards Pearl, who was squatting and said to her, “Please, Lady Pearl, let's return to the hotel. You haven't eaten for hours. That's not good for your health. Let's return so that I can examine your health”. “No. I'm
