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
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
“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
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
“Axel?”. Theodore muttered and walked towards him. With doubt in his heart, he asked, “How did you know I was going to come here by this exact time? Is that the reason why you stood here and were waiting for me?”. “Don't be so surprised, cousin”. Axel said. He removed his hands which were in his trousers' pockets before he added, “Aurora called me last night and told me that you had returned to Phoenix City. She also told me that you were going to come to the mansion today. And I know you, cousin. I knew you would come here by this time. That was why I left my condo and arrived at the mansion earlier than you, and ordered the security guard beforehand to let you in when you arrive”. Theodore chuckled, because to him, Axel sounded unbelievable. He had a puzzled look on his face as he curiously asked, “So you did all that for what? Simply to see my face or what? Am I so special?”. “Of course not, cousin. You're not special. I only came here to tell you not to cry”. Theodore furrowed
Brianna ran to her car and was panting fast. “Mother, please you have to listen to me. Everything that my father has done seriously has nothing to do with me! I truly love my husband so much”. She pleaded and tears were pouring out of her eyes, but that only made Lucy get angrier at her. “Get away from here before I do what I'll regret, Brianna! Just get away from here!”. Lucy warned her. “Mother, please listen to me. Remember that you always used to listen to me. But why not now?”. Brianna felt her voice cracking as she said to Lucy while crying. Her throat was in deep pain because she was mentally and emotionally broken and hurt.“Just go away from here, Brianna. I'm angry. I'm sure you already know what I can do when I get angry”. Lucy said to her. She glared at Brianna, before she turned her back against her and returned to the house, leaving Brianna outside. After Lucy left, Brianna rested her back on the car and used it as her support as she slowly sat on the ground. “It- why
12pm,“Lady Pearl, I am now aware of the location of the Beckham family’s new mansion”. Beatrice announced, and a drop of tear escaped from Pearl’s eyes. “Are you telling me the truth?”. “I would never lie to you, Lady Pearl”. Beatrice promised her with a smile on her face. Some hours ago,“My family…. I have twin boys. Their names are Barry and Garry. But my father-in-law loves to call them Barrett and Garrett. Also, my last child’s name is Vivianne, and my husband's name is…” After Pearl told Beatrice about everything she remembered concerning the Beckham family, Beatrice immediately started to call several people. Some of those people whom Beatrice called reside in Phoenix City, so she was certain that they must have an idea about where the Beckham family were currently living. Out of all the people Beatrice had asked, only one of them knew about the Beckham family she was talking about.“Are you sure you know about the Beckham family I'm talking about?”. Beatrice asked the
“Stop pretending to be hurt, Brianna. I know you're just pretending to be hurt, so that you'll gain my sympathy”. Kendrick glared at her and said to her. With the way Brianna was trembling, he thought that she was acting.Brianna opened her mouth and tried to say something. Unfortunately, her voice was nowhere to be found. “I have loved you, Brianna. I married you even after you spiked my drink. But you repaid me with your betrayal. I thought I knew you. I guess I was wrong. I never for once knew the real you”. He said to her.. And after he had turned his back against her, he added, “I hope your father suffers in jail or gets a death sentence. He deserves that for killing Vivianne's family”. Kendrick hissed, before he walked away and was heading upstairs to his room. “Ah”. Brianna whimpered. She was sitting on the floor, before she laid on the floor and continued to whimper. ‘What did I do wrong to deserve this ill-treatment from the one I love?’. She thought to herself as tears co
