Evelyne looked at her daughter and then at Richard and wondered if these two already knew each other.
She had a contemplative look in her eyes as she observed the two.
"Auntie, about your condition I will talk to doctor Martin and see what can be done. It will be even better if the surgery will be scheduled early on before your condition worsened."
"You don't have to worry about that. Amanda is working really hard and I will have the surgery once she gets paid."
As she said so, she looked at her daughter with pity.
It was her responsibility as a mother to give her daughter a good life. But here she was lying in a hospital bed while her daughter faced the cruel world on her own.
She really failed as a mother.
But once she gets better she will make up for it. They will face the challenges together and her daughter will never suffer again.
"You do not have to worry about the bill. I will take care of it. And you cannot ref
She was really a stubborn girl but he loved it. "I know I'm handsome and no woman can resist my charm. I won't be surprised if you fell in love with me. In fact I will gladly accept you." Amanda was angry that she almost stomped her feet. She did not know what came over her just a moment ago. She had to admit that this man was really handsome and very charming but she cannot be attracted to him. The good the looks were the more dangerous it was for her to dive in. Moreover looks are very deceiving and she cannot fall for this man. "Yes you are very handsome sir and every woman would not resist your charm. But I'm different from every woman. I don't fall for such little tricks. How many women have you deceived with your looks untill you took them to your bed?" Amanda asked sarcastically. By now she had already calmed her frantic heart down. "There is none." Richard answered subconsciously. Amanda sudd
Amanda did not know what to do. Since this man was so adamant on helping them, she will just accept his help and deal with the rest later. And he was right. The more she delayed her mom's surgery, the more dangerous her condition became. She could wish to see her mother get well soon because she did not want to spend a lot of time in the hospital. "Thank you doctor Martin for the trouble. I will inform my mother once she wakes up about the surgery." Amanda said. "There is no trouble. It is my work." Doctor Martin waved his hand. "Then I will see you the day after tomorrow." Amanda said. "Then I will be taking my leave. Please take care of yourself." Doctor Martin said as he turned around to leave. He had just reached the door when Amanda called him from behind. "Execuse doctor Martin, before you leave, is there anything we need to take note of before the surgery?" Amanda asked. "Not really. Just make sure that she
After leaving grandma Catherine's ward, Amanda decided to go and rest. It was not easy for her to balance between shooting and taking care of her mother. Today being her first time shooting such intense scenes, she was really tired and just wanted to close her eyes and take a rest. As she was going back, she bumped into Vallery and Jason. They were holding hands as they walked. It seems like they were coming to see grandma Catherine. Amanda did not want to talk to them so she pretended to be on call as she walked passed them. Seeing that it was Amanda, Vallery did not want her to pass them and called her sweetly. "Sis, are you here to see grandma?" Since Amanda did not want to talk to them she pretended not to hear her as she walked directly passed them, pressing her phone on her ear and talking to who knows whom. Just as she thought she had passed them, her hand was held from behin
Vallery clenched her fists tightly. Since that did not work, she had to try another approach.She just remembered that a friend of hers told her that Amanda was now acting in a movie, she could use this to throw mud at her infront of Jason."Sis please forgive us. We did not know that it will cause so much harm to you. We could have controlled our feelings for each other if things were to turn out this way. Just tell us what you need and we will help you in the best way we can." Vallery said like a good and caring sister.Only Amanda knew that it was an act and her scheming sister must be upto something.Just as she thought, Vallery continued in a caring tone."I have heard you joined the crew for Director Alex's new movie, "The Secret Mission". Being in the entertainment industry without resources is not easy. You are a girl and a very beautiful one. Someone can easily take advantage of you especially in a big production like that one. Don't keep
Amanda returned to her mother's ward to rest.Those two bastards have ruined her good mood. But sooner or later, she will get back at them....After seeing grandma, although she was still cold towards Vallery, she was quite happy hearing that she will soon be a great grandmother.Although she hated Vallery, but she was carrying their own blood so she cannot neglect her.Vallery was happy with the progress. At least this baby will help her a lot in her relationship with the William family.After existing the hospital, Jason sent Vallery to the Jackson's villa because she insisted.She wanted to do some things and being with Jason will hinder her.Only at her home will she be at ease.She must teach that bitch a lesson.Doesn't she enjoy being in the entertainment industry, then she will make her famous....Vallery entered her house happily. Jason did not follow her in because his friends
After returning to her room, Valley's eyes had already turned dark and icy cold. She went to her bedside drawer and took out an old model phone.It seemed not to have been used for some time now. Since she got this phone, it has been of great help to her. She has given her opponents many sleepless nights. She keyed in a number she had memorized a long time ago and made a call. "Hello..." "Hello Miss Vallery long time..." The other party seemed too excited after getting her call. "I have some business for you." Val cut direct to the point. "Okay. Like old times?" The other party also turned serious. "No. This time is different." Val said as she started giving a series of instructions.After an indefinite amount of time, the other party finally replied. "I understand. Rest assured I will do a clean and good job." "Okay. I want to see the news by tomorrow morning. I will give you your payment if I'm i
The following morning...... Amanda was woken up by a call from unknown number. She tried to ignore it but the caller was insistent on calling. She could only open her eyes groggily as she searched for her phone. Remembering that she was still in the same room her mother, she hurriedly took it as to not wake her up and hurried to the bathroom. This hospital was quite good. Atleast every private ward had a bathroom. The VIPs rooms were even better, but given their financial situation, they could not afford a VIP ward. "Hello..." Amanda answered the phone. Her voice was little hoarse, because she has just woken up and was still half conscious. When the person on the other hand heard her voice, his whole body turned soft. It was the most beautiful sound he had ever hard for a long period of time. His cold heart could not help but soften at how cute his girl was. He had already branded Amanda as his girl. Wasn't that
After hanging up the phone, Amanda parted her disoriented heart as she calmed down.She splashed water on her face and went back to the ward....On the other hand, after Richard was done talking to Amanda, his aura immediately changed.The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to negative zero as he tried to control the raging beast that was threatening to break out from his chest.He called his assistant immediately."I want you to investigate this matter thoroughly. The person who started these rumours and who he or she has been in contact with." Richard said coldly.Although Thomas was on the other side of the phone, his body trembled with fear just from listening to his boss voice.He really was enraged this time.At first he was not so sure about his boss attitude towards miss Amanda. His boss had started acting weird the moment he saw Amanda.It seems like his boss really liked this gir
...... Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. Today was Amanda and and Richard's seventh wedding anniversary. Richard woke up early to do nothing but admire his wife's perfect feature. Time has not left a mark on her face and she was addictive to look at. Amanda opened her eyes slowly and was met by a set of deep, full of emotions eyes staring right at her. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary my queen." Richard said with a smile. "Huh?" Amanda had just woken up so her mind was slow to process. "Happy 7th marriage anniversary, my queen." Richard repeated himself. After realising what he was saying, Amanda was shocked. So much had passed but it all felt like yesterday. Her eyes teared up. "Thank you for providing me with a home I thought I would never have." Amanda said emotionally. "That you too, for everything and for betting your whole life on me." Richard said, kissing her forehead lightly. "You are the best husb
Evelyne had been rushed to the hospital where she woke up shortly after her wound was treated. She directly went to see her daughter even though the doctors had told her to rest for a little more. Amanda had given birth to twins and she was now resting in the VIP ward. Due to the exhaustion from pushing the babies, she fainted right after giving birth and she was yet to wake up. Richard was worried about her and had not left her side. "Doctor, will my wife be okay?" Richard asked. "Of course. She just fainted from being exhausted. Her due date had not arrived so she was not mentally prepared, she should be waking up before tomorrow morning." The doctor said. Although Richard had asked that same question hundred times, the doctor still answered him patiently. "Can I see the babies?" "Yes you can, after they have been cleaned." The doctor said.. Richard was excited about his wife giving him two cute babies, a
She greeted everyone, but all of them except grandma Catherine scoffed at her. She did not care about their attitude and sat down. Making herself feel at home. "How is Amanda?" Catherine asked with concern. "Richard called just now and said that there was some accident at home. She was rushed to the hospital. If not for the fact that I was almost here, I could have gone immediately." Hearing that his daughter was in the hospital, Peter had no time to waste. He knew that Evelyne won't be staying for long. It was good enough that she managed to come. "Okay, since everyone is here, let's begin." Peter said as he took out some documents from his briefcase and distributed them among the people who were sitting in the living room. They did not understand what and why Peter was giving them the documents but never the less, they took them. Skimming through them, everyone was shocked. "Uncle, what is the meaning of this?" Jason wa
The following day, Amanda woke up at midday. She had slept too well without any dreams.She was greeted with a pair of deep eyes staring at her. She almost screamed out loud because she was still disoriented from her sleep. Only after she heard the familiar scent did she calm down."Hey, aren't you going to work?""Nope. My paternity leave starts today. I will accompany you until you give birth.""But there are still some more days until delivery.""It's okay. I covered upto three months work. If there is nothing serious, I told Thomas not to disturb me.""Bu.....""No buts. Everything is settled don't worry."Seeing that he was insistent, Amanda could only surrender.Richard looked at her with a deep gaze."What is it?""Err!" Richard was embarrassed to say what was on his mind.He had actually not gotten a wink the whole night and kept thinking about what Amanda had told him.She was r
After thinking about what the doctor told her during their last visit, Amanda blushed. She never knew that she will apply the method today.She had kept mum about it but seeing how much Richard had done for her, and the fact that he was still respecting her even when he was on the verge of losing control, Amanda felt even more guilty. Although she felt guilty, the feeling of being loved and treasured intensified in her heart. She too wanted to make the man who loved her feel loved.She looked at the man who was enduring his feeling for her sake and touched his face gently."Do you want to say hi to your little bun?" Amanda asked."What?" Richard was focused on fumbling with her breasts that he did not hear her well."Do you want to talk to your little bun?" Amanda repeated her question, this time in a seductive voice."Yes." As Richard said that, he placed his ears on Amanda's belly, probably having not understood what Amanda was imply
When Vallery came back, she found her mother lying weakly on bed. Her face was ashen. She did not see her father anywhere."Mom, where is dad?" Val asked, not caring that her mother was not in the right condition.Although she has been pretending to be sick, but because of what Peter had said, she was now truly sick.Getting no reaction from her, Val became vexed."Mom, where did dad go?" She only cared if her scheme had succeeded or not.Not being able to stand her interrogation, Juliana opened her mouth and answered weakly, "he already left.""Did you get the number?""No."Vallery immediately flared up."Is there something that you are really capable of? All you know is mess things up. I have never seen such an incompetent mother who could not even do something for her daughter." With that, she threw the lunch that she had painstakingly used her money to buy and walked out of the door angrily.Her mother was st
Juliana hunged up the phone to plan her next strategy but to her dismal she could not find where Evelyne lived no matter how much she tried.But that was because Peter had blocked her people from finding out where Evelyne lived.Peter had even stopped coming home and Juliana could not stomach the humiliation, all she could was go to William's family almost everyday to spend time with Liz and her daughter."Mom, why are you here again?" Vallery asked when she saw her mother again.For the past three months, apart from coming here to vent her anger all day, Juliana did nothing else.Even a simple assignment as finding where Amanda and her mother stayed was hard for her.Vallery could not help but feel displeased. She had been doing all she could to return to the limelight and even did some charity, but it seemed like everything was going down the drain. No matter what she did, nothing seemed to work.And now her mother has come again to
The following morning as expected, Amanda was trending in all news platforms. Be it Facebook, twitter, Instagram, Amanda was the highlight.Her popularity had skyrocketed and everyone was sorting her to be their ambassador. Movie scripts piled up and even television shows and dramas were not left behind.Amanda was overwhelmed by the sudden popularity."Ooh my! It feels good to be popular overnight." Amanda lamented as she laid in Richard's arm lazily."Do you want to remain in the limelight and maintain your popularity?" Richard asked, basking in the feeling of hugging his wife."But..." Amanda bit on her lower and did not finish her statement. But Richard understood her worries..."Don't worry about that." Richard said as he kissed her on the neck.Vallery on the hand was expecting to ride on Amanda's popularity, but after looking through and seeing that her name was not mentioned anywhere, she did not know how to take i
Amanda eyed her coldly. She has never forgotten her past memories. The day that Juliana showed her father those pictures. Claiming that her mother had cheated on him.No matter how much they tried to explain, her father could not listen to them. Vallery and her mother were gleeful as they helped throw their stuff outside.That was when Amanda saw their true nature. After she and her mother had treated them like family.They were chased out with nothing, not even a single penny.She had not forgotten how Vallery had treated her when she was her assistant. How she had entertained those investors on her behalf because she could not drink.Amanda remembered all of them. After her rebirth, she had vowed to take revenge on everyone that made her life hard in her past life. She was consumed with rage and all she wanted was revenge.But after meeting Richard and testing the sweetness of living a happy life, she changed her mind. There wa
