Oliver ran like a madman as he is dashing through the hospital's hallway where Uncle Shun is confined.He received an emergency call from Aunt Yumi, and she told him that the old man's condition has worsened due to the complications on his heart.He is now transferred to the Intensive Care Unit for observation. Uncle Shun needs to have an open heart surgery as soon as possible, but he's still on a waiting list for heart donor recipients...Oliver saw Uncle Shun sleeping, with all of the tubes in every parts of his body. Aunt Yumi is at the bedside, holding his hand while watching over him."Auntie Yumi." he said, in a whisper.The old woman looks up, and she tries her best not to cry out loud."Oliver... You're Uncle is in a very critical condition. The doctor said he needs to undergo open heart surgery or else... I am not yet ready to lose him!" Aunt Yumi tearfully stated."Everything will be fine, Auntie. I'm sure we'll find a donor soon." Oliver tries to comfort the old woman."I h
A month later. Madeline watches from afar as the children at the Heaven's Door Orphanage who are busy picking fruits and vegetables from their garden. Her mind also went back to the time when she finally found out her true identity and her biological father, which is Shun Saito, the owner and the founder of Heaven's Door Orphanage. She can still gave feelings of regret, even though it has been a month since her father passed away. It was too late for her to know about her real identity but they also thought that it was her father's time to be with their Almighty Creator. She is moving on slowly but surely with the help of Aunt Yumi, her best friends Peppy and Rachel, also the children at the orphanage. However, he hasn't seen much of Oliver after the funeral service of her father. She misses him so much, but she also doesn't have the right to feel that way because they don't have a romantic relationship... "Don't you want to join them picking vegetables and fruits? It looks fu
Dana slowly opens her eyes, and once her vision became clearer, she saw a white ceiling, and the bright lights started blinding her a little bit. She closed her eyes again, and slowly opens it once more, until her eyes finally adjusted to the light. But she can now feel the searing pain in her hear, and she started groaning aloud. She feels like her head is about to crack open, and she started crying because of the undescribable pain she's feeling right now.She tries to remember what happened to her and why she is feeling so much pain. What she can only remember was she and her husband were on the road, on their way back home. It was raining hard, there's almost zero visibility and the roads are slippery... There was a bright light from a certain truck, and it was coming their way. And before she can fully react, she immediately felt a piercing pain on her head, and she doesn't know what happened next because her vision suddenly went pitch-black...The pain that she's feeling in her
Dana felt a sudden sense of familiarity when she finally entered the house. She is finally home after staying in the hospital for over a year. "Welcome home, Dana." she heard her husband's voice. "It feels so good to be finally back home with you." Dana's slightly tearful response. Dana forced herself to stand but her legs were still shaking and limp. Garrett quickly picked him up again, and sat him down on a nearby sofa. "Don't force yourself to walk just yet, Dana. We need to follow the doctor's advice to regularly and religiously do rehabilitation, so you can walk again like before." Garrett kindly informed him. "You're right. I shouldn't have been in a hurry. I was just too excited to see and be back home again. I feel like I want to tour the whole household, so I guess I will just have to wait until I'm fully recovered." Dana nodded in agreement. "I can be your legs and tour you around the house for the meantime." Garrett's suggestion. Dana lovingly stares at her husband.
"Thank you, Nana Lydia." The old woman finally opens the door, and sure enough, it was Garrett standing by the doorDana almost forgot how to breathe while looking at her handsome husband.He looks almost exactly the same the first time she met him, ten years ago. She's still swooning over him after all these years. She's still drawn to his big, warm eyes which stares back at her as if he's searching her inner soul. He got an almost perfect nose, not too high nose bridge, not too low, either. He also got a defined and chiseled jaw that can me compared to a Greek sculpture tht can be seen in the museums. He got all the muscles in right places, and he's tall and lean. He got a great body physique, and just by looking at him ignites the passion of fire inside her..."Why aren't you sleeping now? And have you taken all your medications?" her husband asked her, while looking concerned."Oh, I already did. I just had a chat with Nana Lydia because I felt like we had lots of catching up to
At the mango farm... "Do you think we are ready to harvest the mangoes?” Garrett asked the leader of the harvesters, as he roams his eyes to the vast land, filled with hundreds of mango trees."Yes, Sir. They are all ready to be harvested, and this is the perfect time to do it." Jimmy, the harvesters' leader nodded in agreement."That's good to know. Let's do our best together today, and afterwards, we'll have a feast to thank the heavens for a great harvest this year. I also want to thank all of you because I wouldn't have done this without your help." Garrett stated, in a sincere manner."We should be the one thanking you, sir, for giving us regular jobs, for giving us great benefits and being a good boss. We will support you until the end." Jimmy smilingly responded.Garrett was about to say something more but he wasn't able to do so when he heard a sound of a blowing horn from one of the vehicles nearby.He curiously frowned when he saw one of their personal driver pulling someth
Later that night.Garrett has been pacing back and forth inside their room, while Dana's showering by herself inside the bathroom.He's still thinking about what happened at the mango farm few hours ago. He can't get Dana's sexy body out of his mind. He can still clearly remember her creamy neck, her delicate shoulders, her enchanting collarbones, her smooth and plump breasts, and her curvaceous hips...He can admit to himself that he was turned on by Dana's jaw-dropping body, and he doesn't have any idea what to do about it.Garrett snaps out from his naughty thoughts when he heard Dana's voice inside the bathroom."Love, can you please give me a bathrobe? I forgot to bring it awhile ago." Dana calls for him. "Oh no, here we go again." Dana groaned inwardly. He can feel his heart starts beating like crazy again, and because of that, he's having a hard time to breathe."Just chill, Garrett. Be normal and casual. You can do it." he said to himself.He took a deep, long calming breath,
Once Jimmy left the house, Garrett looks at Dana while frowning."I know what you're trying to point out, Dana. But do you really have to be sarcastic towards me infront of my assistant? If you have something to say to me, then you should say it to me directly!" he stated.Dana lets out a mocking smile while staring back at her husband."Oh, I've so glad you wanted to have a talk about our problem! Okay, then... I've been utterly disappointed and frustrated about you, my dear husband. Ever since I woke up from a coma and ever since I came out from the hospital, you've been so cold to me and you've been avoiding me like a plague!" she finally lets it all out."It's because you're not yet fully recovered, Dana! Your doctor said that you need to take everything slow!" Garrett tries to reason out. What he said was half-truth and half-lie, and he can't tell Dana half of the lie that he's been hiding for a long time."This is my body, and I know my

At Heaven's Door Orphanage...Madeline is happily playing with the children at the spacious garden. They are playing hide and seek, and she can say that she's enjoying every minute of it.Madeline thoughtfully frowned when she saw a car driving its way to the orphanage's garage. She lets out an audible gasp when she found out that it was the man who saved her on the streets few weeks ago...The children quickly ran towards the man, and they all greeted them warmly. After talking with the children, the man is now walking towards her direction."It's nice to see you again after that incident. Introductions are in order. My name is Oliver Burton. How about you? What's your name?" Oliver introduces himself to her."I'm Madeline Falcon, and thank you once again for saving my life." Madeline smilingly responded."You're welcome----!" Oliver stops at mid-sentence when Peppy suddenly came out to the garden."I'm glad to see you dropping by here, Oliver! You aren't busy today?" Peppy happily g
Madeline stops daydreaming, and turned her attention back to her friends...================================It's already late at night, and Madeline is watching over the sleeping children. She's doing her rounds tonight, the check each of the children's room at the orphanage.After she checked all of the rooms, she's now walking at the hallway, and she's about to walk past Auntie Yumi's office, but she suddenly stops when she heard the phone ringing inside.The ringing phone was so loud, that she's afraid the children who's sleeping nearby the room might wake up because of the noisy sound.She doesn't have any choice but to enter the office to answer the call."Hello, this is Heaven's Door Orphanage, how may I help you?" Madeline answers the call."I'm sorry, may I know who's this?" she can hear an old man's voice from the other line."I'm Madeline, and I'm a new staff here at Heaven's Door Orphanage. Is there anything I can help you with?" Madeline politely inquired.She was taken b
The three of them decided to hit the sack and call it a day because they have an early start tomorrow.Before Madeline could finally drift off to sleep, she remembers Mother Superior, the nuns, and the children back at the Sunshine Orphanage.And after a few minutes, she finally fell into a deep sleep...=============================The next day.Madeline is currently carrying two brown paper bags full of groceries while walking with Auntie Yumi. She was asked by her to accompany her to the grocery store, to buy a two-week stocks for Heaven's Door Orphanage. "So, what do you think about Japan, Madeline?" the old woman suddenly asks her."So far so good, Auntie." Madeline smilingly answers."I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure you'll get used to living here in Japan in no time." enunciated Aunt Yumi. "I think so, too." Madeline said in return."Oh, I almost forgot! I made a promise to the children that I'll buy them donuts for their snack later. I'll just drop by the donut store real q
Two weeks later.Madeline is overwhelmed with emotions while she's walking side-by-side with the Mother Superior, while the nuns and the children are watching them with sad expression on their faces.She tries her best not to cry, but she knows that she's going to miss everyone and everything at Sunflower Orphanage. This is the place where she felt the true love of a true family."Don't be sad, dear. You can come back here whenever you want. We'll be waiting for you." the old nun gives her a reassurance."I'm really going to miss everyone here, Mother." Madeline sniffles in return."It's normal for you to feel that way. But this is not the end if everything. You will start a new journey of searching for your father." the Mother Superior gently stated."We wish you all the best, Madeline." Sister Assuntta joins in their conversation."Thank you very much, Mother Superior and Sister Assuntta. I'm sorry if I gave you lots of trouble and headache while I was growing up." Madeline is gett
Later that evening.It was already late at night but Madeline still couldn't sleep. Her previous conversation with the Mother Supervisor keeps on replaying on her mind."This is a once in a lifetime chance for you to find your father again..." the old nun told her earlier.Madeline carefully got up from her bed. Since she's having a hard time sleeping, she decided to take an evening walk to breathe in some fresh air and to clear her head...After a few minutes, Madeline is now at the orphanage's playground, and she's currently sitting on a swing while admiring the round, bright moon..."What do you think I should do, Mama? Would you like me to look for my father, or just forget about him and move on with my life." she wondered aloud, while looking at the moon.Madeline tried to listen to her head and her heart. Deep inside her heart, she still wishes to see her father face-to-face. She also wanted to ask why did he leave them and why he didn't try to find her after so many years...Sh
Darlene is currently at her favorite coffee shop, while waiting for a certain person who has been a part of her life.She decided to meet-up with her former high school English teacher at Alta Tierra High and her first love, Mr. Oliver Burton. She needs to talk to him for the very last time as a former teacher and student.She will be working with him on a charity project for a short time, so she needs to clear the air between them.And last but not the least, she needs to have one final talk to him and move on with her life with Aston..."Hello, Darlene. I'm so sorry if you have to wait for too long." She snaps out from reverie when Darlene heard Mr. Oliver Burton's voice.She lets out a small, polite smile while looking at him."Hi, Sir Oliver. It's alright, I almost just got here anyway. Please have a seat." she said in return.One waiter came, and they both said their orders. They waited for a few minutes, their orders came, and then they started talking."In was surprised to see
Darlene is busy having an enjoyable chat with the younger generation, who are the scholars of Le Coup de Foudre Foundation.Their family's company has been supporting young students with their education by giving them 100% full scholarship. At the same time, the company also invited some media people to do a coverage of the said charitable activity."What made you want to pursue your studies, Anna? Who is your big influencer?" Darlene curiously asked one of the students."To tell you the truth Miss Darlene, I wasn't really interested in studying. My original plan was to find any source of income by looking for a job. I thought that studying is just a waste of time, and I really want to work to help my family. But I had a change of heart when someone influenced me to continue with my studies for a much better future." Anna gave out a lengthy explanation."Wow, we should thank that person who changed your mind. May I know who is that person?" Darlene smilingly asks the girl."He is con
