Carlos fell to his knees. The back of his calf was bleeding. With a look full of fear, Josephine saw Carlos' bodyguards being apprehended one by one by men dressed all in black.One of them seized the weapon in Carlos' hand. Josephine's and Carlos' eyes widened at the same time as they saw Nicholas holding a gun, which was still smoking and emerging from behind the men dressed in all black."NICHOLAS!" roared Carlos angrily.Nicholas smiled sweetly. "Hello, Carlos. Sorry, I shot your calf. I think my shooting ability has decreased because I lacked practice. The bullet should have lodged in your head. I didn't expect it to be missed so far," Nicholas said lightly."Bastard! How did you get here? You should be in hell!" shouted Carlos furiously. "I told them to burn the crypt!"Nicholas shrugged in a mocking fashion. "Hell refused me. They didn't want to accept me because I came without you. So I came back because Anita decided to come get me.""Anita? But she--""The daughter of your m
Nicholas was relieved to finally be able to explain everything to Josephine. Even though he was surprised by Josephine's reaction to Anita Graham, Nicholas was also very happy because Josephine clearly showed her jealousy."Never contact her outside of business again," Josephine said fiercely.Nicholas grabbed Josephine's chin and kissed her again. "Of course Baby. My business is with her father, so there's no need for me to call Anita."Josephine smiled. She wasn't really mad, just curious. After all, she really believed in Nicholas and she also listened to Nicholas' conversation with Carlos earlier.Nicholas and Josephine decided to go straight back to the apartment so they could meet the kids soon.Sky, Rain, and Flower, could sense that something important and possibly dangerous was being faced by their parents, even though Anna and Lynn refused to tell them.They were already getting restless and were pressing even harder on Anna and Lynn to tell Josephine and Nicholas the truth.
Josephine couldn't stop pacing in front of the room where Flower was being examined. Three doctors, including Lynn, are inside.Two hours ago, when Anna and Lynn were getting ready to leave Josephine's apartment, suddenly Flower, who was sleeping, vomited and then fainted.Josephine, Nicholas, and Lynn rushed Flower to the Sparrow Clinic, while Anna stayed at the apartment to look after Rain and Sky.Flower has been in a stable condition for the last few months, receiving a leukemia treatment discovered by Inggrid Adams, Nicholas' mother, which is then being used as a cancer treatment method at the state-of-the-art Sparrow Clinic while waiting on her bone marrow.Josephine had been regularly monitoring her condition and she had been fine all along, so, due to her busy schedule and lots of things going on, Josephine had become a bit inattentive."I forgot that Flower wasn't as healthy as Rain and Sky. She was always fine after we arrived at Metronine and I brought her for treatment and
"Are you sure this test didn't go wrong? Will the result be different if I do it again, or need to do tests at another hospital?"Josephine placed her palms on Nicholas' chest, feeling his heart beating very fast."Honey, calm down, don't get emotional," Josephine said softly. "Didn't Lynn say that the match between the donor and the parents is estimated at only 0.5%? Even though I am not suitable to be a donor for Flower."Nicholas stared at the results of his compatibility testing with Flower, feeling disappointed. He put his hand over Josephine's on his chest."I feel useless," Nicholas muttered.Lynn patted Nicholas's shoulder gently. Nicholas's reaction was a natural reaction that was usually shown by parents who were disappointed because they couldn't be the donor for their own child."What about my men? How many people have already been tested?" Nicholas asked again. "I spread the news to the entire branch and they are willing to help.""121 people at the Sparrow Clinic, 56 peo
"Are you serious?" asked Josephine in disbelief.Janeth nodded in a firm tone. "Yes, Josephine, I'm serious. I wanna help."Josephine and Nicholas exchanged looks. About an hour earlier, when Josephine and Nicholas were about to leave the Jade Mansion, Janeth suddenly came out of the house and called Josephine. It turned out that while Josephine and Nicholas were talking to Ussop, Janeth was in the house and was listening to their conversation.She came quietly to her house and cried inside, then saw Josephine and Nicholas coming, but she didn't dare come out to meet them and only listened to their conversation. She decided to leave after Nicholas and Josephine were about to leave."Janeth, originally Nicholas and I came here to ask for your help, in an effort to get a bone marrow donor for Flower. However, seeing the current state of the family, I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask for your help," Josephine said in a concerned tone. "I think, you too must be more or less, bla
"Are you sure? Janeth really fits as a donor for Flower?" asked Josephine with wide eyes.Lynn smiled broadly and nodded firmly. "I even had two tests to be sure. That's why it took me a while."Janeth hugged Josephine with emotion. "Flower will get better soon, Josephine," Janeth said happily.Josephine hugged Janeth tightly. "Oh Janeth, you want to really do it? Be a donor for Flower?"Janeth nodded vigorously. "Of course. I'll do it. It's not just for Flower or for you, but it's for me. At the very least, doing this means starting a new, better life for me."Josephine looked at Janeth with pleasure. "Thank you, Janeth, thank you very much."Nicholas approached Josephine and Janeth, then hugged them both. Lynn smiled at the sight in front of him.He was surprised when he saw that Janeth's test results matched Flower's and to be even more convincing, he asked his colleague to re-test, with the same result.Lynn didn't expect that the person who would become a suitable donor for Flo
One year and eight months later.Flower looked worriedly at her reflection in the mirror. She spun around, then looked down at the bottom of her dress.Janeth who was putting earrings in her ears turned and looked at Flower in surprise."Hey, little lady, what are you doing? You've been circling in front of the mirror for more than twenty minutes," Janeth said amused.Flower turned to Janeth and pouted. "This dress makes me look pale, auntie J. See, my lips look white because of the reflection of this dress," said Flower.Janet laughed. She waved and Flower immediately approached her. Janeth hugged Flower tightly."I'll dress you up a bit, but don't flirt with Mrs. Prim's handsome grandson at the ball, will you?"Flower chuckled until her dimples showed. "It's not me who's flirty, auntie, but he's the one who teases me a lot.""You don't just dress up, he teases you diligently, especially when I dress you up. Your father might lock me up in his shark tank because he thinks I'm teachi
him again! Anna remembered the man, who almost made her and his car crash into each other in the parking lot of the Sparrow Clinic, when she was going to see Josephine a few days ago.The man also seemed to recognize Anna, as he flashed her a smile. Smile? Anna looked away. She didn't want to have anything to do with a man like him anymore.Anna glanced at the watch on her right hand in annoyance. Why did it take so long just to wait for the three kinds of medicine to be concocted? Looks like Sparrow Clinic needs to improve the quality of service in the pharmacy.Lynn had seen Anna from a distance. He recognized the woman as Josephine's best friend, with whom he had an argument in the parking lot of the Sparrow Clinic a few days ago.Lynn didn't really want to fight, but Josephine's best friend was fierce and scolded him without stopping. However, her tiny round lips were so cute, matching her big round eyes."Hi," said Lynn, sitting down next to Anna. "You are here again."The woman
