“Cohen is back?!” Anna exclaimed immediately as she drove into the compound. She drove and parked beside her car, and remembering her successful mission, she beamed and got out of the car.

She entered the sitting room and met Cohen sitting on the sofa, pressing his face.

He was casting his face downward and the screech of the door made him raise his gaze and look in the entrance direction.

Seeing it was Anna, he returned to pressing his phone since he didn’t want to talk to her.

Anna walked closer and filled her lips with a smile. “You are back home?” She asked, trying to find an appropriate way to start a conversation with him.

“If I am not back, will you see me here?” Cohen gave a savage response without taking his eyes off the phone screen to look at her.

“Okay. I am sorry,” she apologized in a low voice. She went silent for a minute and inquired. “The test. How is it?”

His question made his hands freeze, and he stopped pressing his phone. He cracked up and murmured. “Asking how i

    Anna descended the stairs and, as she turned to her left side, she bumped into Elsie.“Look who's back…” Elsie said in a high voice. She stared at Anna’s face, and seeing the trace of tears, she cracked up. “Tears in the devil's eyes?”Anna quickly passed the bag in her right hand to the left and wiped her face. “Elsie, leave me alone, please. I am not in for all this.”Elsie crossed her hand over her chest and bent to the left a bit, blocking Anna. “And what will you do if I refuse to let you go? Hun?”“I will do a lot, but it is better you let me go while I am still nice.” Anna gave a response.“What will you do if you stop being nice?” Elsie challenged.Anna scoffed. She eyed Elsie for a second and pushed her aside. Elsie turned to look at Anna, still crossing her hands over her chest. “Don’t you think Cohen still needs to go after Marie?” She threw a question.Her question caused Anna to freeze.Anna’s eyes widened, shocked at why Elsie still brought up Marie. She glanced backwar

    Cohen walked out of the downstairs toilet, situated under the stairs. He walked back to the dining table, where he was working on his laptop, before he felt the need to use the restroom.He sat back in the chair and drew his laptop closer. He adjusted the screen direction to how he preferred it and continued pressing it.He worked for a few seconds and picked his wineglass from the table, and as he moved it to his lips, Elsie rushed downstairs.“Don’t!” Elsie shouted in a commanding tone.Cohen took the wine away from his lips and glanced back at her, a surprised, questioning tone escaped his mouth. “Uhn!”“Huuun…” Elsie sounded, nodding her head as she hurriedly descended the stairs. “Don’t drink that, Cohen.”Cohen watched her walk closer to her side, and immediately as she stood beside him, he threw a question. “What’s going on?”He glanced at the glass of wine in his hand and shook it a bit. “Is something inside it?” He asked.“I am not sure, Cohen,” Elsie responded. “But I don’t

    “Elsie, please, give me your car key.” Cohen requested, speedily descending the stairs as he ignored Anna, who was running after him.“Cohen.” Anna called again. She wanted to have a discussion with him and apologize for what happened, but Cohen has been avoiding her since last night.Cohen walked to meet Elsie, who had already stood on her feet and faced him.“What do you want to use it for?” Elsie inquired.“I am taking it to the hospital,” Cohen revealed. “Didn’t you tell me to be vigilant? Who knows what she has already installed in the car?”“I didn’t install anything in your car…” Anna spoke for herself, walking closer. She arrived at their midst and gave Elsie a deadly glance before she turned to Cohen, defending herself with an innocent expression. “Cohen, you can’t allow Elsie to ruin you.”“You ruined me already…” Cohen whispered without gazing at Anna. He faced Elsie, continuing, “is your car key upstairs?”“You can’t take my car to the hospital…” Elsie said, before Cohen c

    “Turn to the left.” Cohen instructed and immediately as the guy drove out of the corner that led to the main road, a car double crossed them.“Hey!” The guy shouted, grinding his teeth.“Leave the road, please.” Cohen intervened, trying to keep his voice low so as not to sound aggressive like the guy.The guy turned off the car engine and abruptly opened the car in anger. He let down his left leg, and he wanted to put the right foot out, Elsie got down from the down wearing sunglasses.“Elsie?!” The guy exclaimed and calmed himself.Elsie walked to the other side and opened the door for the cab owner to get down.The man got down and Elsie bowed her head, appreciating, “thanks for the ride, sir.”The driver collected the car key from her, saying, “you are welcome, ma.”Elsie dug her hand into the jacket pocket and took out some cash. “This. Is it enough?” She inquired.The man beamed and excitedly snatched the money from her. “This is more than enough,” he said. He bent his neck, show

    {BACK TO PRESENT}“That's how I found out.” Elsie said after narrating everything that happened last night.While listening to her, Cohen’s eyebrows had already lifted, amazed. He wasn’t supposed to be surprised by Anna’s behavior, but it still caught him off guard.“But…” His voice stammered.“What?” Elsie asked.“I hid it so well and I didn’t expect her to find it.” He let out his concern.“But she did anyway. You should be grateful I found it for you.” Elsie made a point.Cohen looked at her face, reasoning along with her. “Thank you.” He appreciated it. He took his eyes off her and ground his teeth with each other. “Anna…” he called and paused, exhaling deeply with aggression. “How dare her?”“How dare her do this?” He said. He dug his hand into his pocket and took out his phone.“What are you doing?” Elsie inquired.“I want to call my lawyer to prepare the divorce paper and also call Anna to tell her to move out of the house. I can’t stand her anymore.” Cohen spoke out, scrollin

    Cohen nodded, tightening his lips. “Okay. Thank you.” He uttered.“One more thing, Cohen but I am not sure you will listen to me.” Elsie said, looking downward in disappointment.“What’s it? Tell me. Didn’t we just agree to be each other’s biggest supporters?” He said in a welcoming manner.“Which hospital did you go to?” She inquired.“The same hospital. R&M.” He answered.“Can you change it?” She asked, and since she already knew he would ask for an explanation, she added, “go and do the DNA test in another hospital.”“Why? Did you find out something?” He interrogated.“No, but I just don’t feel okay with you going back to that hospital,” she poured out. “Anna went out yesterday and she has nowhere to go. Since she hides her movements, I think she went to the hospital.”“If she went to the hospital Franklin would have called to inform me.” Cohen doubted.Elsie ground her teeth with each other, frustrated at why Cohen never understands. “Why do you trust people so much?” She threw a

    After an hour and half drive, Elsie drove into a small hospital at the city end. She parked at the parking lots and glanced backward at Cohen, beaming. “Here we are.” She said.Cohen scanned the hospital’s surroundings, withering his mouth as he turned his neck. “This place?” He asked. “Is this the hospital we are coming to?”Elsie nodded. “Yes.” She confirmed.Cohen looked around again with a belittling expression. “Here? How can an expert work here when there are many hospitals in the city?” He doubted. “This is…”Elsie didn’t allow him to complete his statement before she interrupted him. “Don’t doubt it, Cohen. The doctor work in a hospital in the city, but comes here because of the people around here,”“Other doctor doesn’t want to work here because it’s local and they need fame. He is here to serve the people,” she explained. “Or do people in rural area doesn’t deserve treatment?”Her words convinced him, so he agreed with her. “They do.”Elsie saw a nurse at a distance and she

    “NEGATIVE?!” Cohen shouted, and his voice made everyone around turn to stare at him, wondering what was wrong.Cohen cast his face downward and lowered his voice. “How can it be negative?” He wondered.Cohen’s voice that echoed called Doctor Martin’s attention, and he rushed out of the laboratory in fear.“What’s going on?” He threw a question immediately as she stepped out of the laboratory. His worried tone, matching the concern on his face. “What happened?”Cohen veered around to look at Doctor Martin. “The result…” he said and couldn’t add another word because of the shock in him.Doctor Martin stretched his hands, elevating his shoulder to the same level as his neck. “What's wrong with it?” “It is negative.” Cohen informed.Doctor Martin withered his face unclear. “What are you talking about? Which test result?” He asked, and without waiting for Cohen's response, he moved closer and collected the paper from him.Doctor Martin stared at the paper and squeezed his mouth. “Is this

    -THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

    Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

    “Who is here for me?” Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

    Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

    Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

    Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry. I know that’s not an excuse. I shouldn’t involve family matters in business, but I have to sta

    “Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

    -Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay. I will go call her.” She offered.
