Jessica tilted her head toward her father-in-law and said three words, "Let's go, father." This was the first time all day she had addressed him as father.

Mr. Hemsworth looked at Jessica with eyes filled with pain. "What are we going to do? I can't let my son die," he said in a sad tone. It was almost as if he had heard Jessica speak but couldn't remember what she had said.

Jessica heaved a sigh and said calmly, "He will not die; his ailment isn't entirely incurable."

At her words, Mr. Roberts' eyes lit up; he stared at her as if she had given him all the hope he needed in this world.

The doctor also looked at Jessica wide-eyed, a surprised expression planted on his face. Just what is she going on about? He thought.

Did she know something he didn't know? They were both in the medical field, so that was very possible. Perhaps she knew someone who could wave a magic wand and cure Justin, he thought.

The doctor waited patiently to hear what solution Jessica had to offer, although he d

    Jessica had asked Kelvin to drive her to the house because she had an urgent matter to attend to. On their ride home, Jessica leaned against the window pane as a million thoughts ran through her mind. How had she gotten here? Memories of wonderful times she had shared with Justin flooded her mind, reminding her of just how much she loved him and cared for him.The memories she was reliving somehow unleashed emotions from within her, causing her eyes to shimmer with tears that soon began dripping down her face like pearls falling from a broken jar. How was it that in all those times, she had never observed that there could be something wrong with Justin, something beneath the surface, Jessica questioned herself.Was it really her fault, though? There was really no way for her to know his brain cells were dying unless he told her. If only he had trusted her enough to share, maybe they wouldn't be where they are now. Maybe if also she had been more vulnerable with him, perhaps he would

    Nicholas looked at him with cold and dismissive eyes. He had processed what the doctor had said. How could he insinuate that Jessica, as frail and calm as she was, could have something to do with Justin's condition?The man, seeing Nicholas' expression, regretted voicing his suspicions. It was obvious Nicholas didn't believe him. He wasn't surprised, though. Women! She must have wormed her way into everyone's heart, making them oblivious to what she was really capable of.Nicholas' face twisted in a frown as he said, "Jessica would never do something like that. Please desist from making false accusations, doctor. I would pretend I didn't hear any of the things you just said," when he had finished speaking, he turned to face Justin.The doctor, though scared, decided to air his reason for accusing Jessica, "She looked so…" But before he could finish his words, he met Nicholas' chilling glare, one that caused him to swallow hard as he stare at him nervously.In an attempt to redeem hims

    Nicholas cocked an eyebrow up as he saw who the intruders were; he had probably been expecting to see just one person, but seeing two people shocked him to the bones, although he didn't let it show.What if they had seen him try to bring something out from his pocket? What if they suspected him of having a hand in what happened to Justin? They already were well aware of the back-and-forth issues he has been having with Justin. What if they drew their conclusions from all that had happened in the past? A thousand and one thoughts spiraled through Nicholas' mind, each threatening to consume him.At the entrance to the ICU stood Kelvin and Jessica.Jessica was startled. She didn't expect to see Nicholas in Justin's room.Kelvin was the first among all three of them to break the silence, "Good evening, Mr. Nicholas," he greeted politely. Just then, Jessica asked in a confused tone, "What are you doing here, Nicholas?"Nicholas stared at her, an eyebrow quirked up, "Are you asking what I

    Jessica was so elated to see that Justin had finally woken up. "Oh, thank goodness," she exclaimed excitedly as she sat down next to him on the bed, looking at him with love-filled eyes."I am just so happy you have finally woken up; now we would know everything that happened to you," she added.Justin squinted his eyes, trying to adjust to the brightness of the room. He glanced around to make out his unfamiliar surroundings.Seeing Jessica sitting beside him, rambling on, he raised a weak hand to her; Jessica immediately held onto his hand. It was an affectionate way of connecting. They stared at each other for a few seconds."What happened to you?" Jessica asked caringly, her eyes searching his for answers. Justin, who had not really thought about the incident that led to his coming to the hospital, was taken aback by her question.Suddenly, everything started flooding back to his mind—the memory of all that had happened. Justin gritted his teeth and groaned loudly in anger, his eye

    Nicholas dipped his trembling hand into his pocket and brought out a white embroidered handkerchief. With it, he wiped off the tiny beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead. He had known Rodriguez ever since he was a little boy.At that time, Rodriguez and Justin were inseparable until their father stopped their association with children from other families. Their father had insisted on having them, especially Justin, homeschooled. He did this because he felt associating with other children would make them while away their time and lose sight of what was in store for them.He had groomed them, especially Justin, to be tough and have good business acumen. Despite that, Justin and Rodriguez never lost their friendship. Before Justin's disappearance three years ago, Nicholas often saw Rodriguez visiting Justin at the company. They were grown-ups now; no one can interfere in their relationship anymore, not even their strict father.Seeing Rodriguez outside the hospital now, Nichol

    When Rodriguez got upstairs, he scanned his surroundings with fiery eyes. He could see five rooms from where he stood. Like a scavenger looking for his prey, he charged into the first one; it was empty. He repeated the same process until he had checked all the rooms, they were all empty!."Where is that bastard?!" he growled in anger as he charged downstairs. Everyone but his men was on the floor, severely beaten up and squirming in pain. His men had put them all in one place; scattered on the floor like cocks about to be slaughtered.As soon as Rodriguez approached them, with eyes blazing with fury, he demanded, "I need to know who the boss amongst you is?" Everyone was petrified; no one spoke a word as they were too scared. They looked at one another as if praying and hoping a savior would speak up for them.Rodriguez scanned them carefully before repeating himself in a murderous tone, "Which one of you is the boss?, now don't make me repeat that again!"At that point, a man raised

    "Someone, fetch the doctor!" Justin ordered, causing Nora to immediately dash out of the room in search of the doctor.As everyone panicked about Old Mrs. Hemsworth's condition, Jessica briskly went to her and put two fingers beneath her nostrils; she was still breathing.She glanced at Justin, who still held his grandma in his hands. He looked so pale, like a ghost.Jessica quickly said, "Lay her down on the bed."At her command, Justin immediately sprung up with his grandma in his arms, disregarding the pain and weakness he felt, and laid her flat on the bed.Seeing that he had done as she instructed, Jessica raised her legs up to 12 inches in the air, supporting them with a soft board. She also asked Justin and his father to step farther away from Old Mrs. Hemsworth because she needed fresh air.Justin and his father did as instructed, and from where they stood, they watched Jessica keenly. None of them interfered with what she was doing. Justin trusted Jessica.Mr. Hemsworth, on t

    Back at the hospital, it was already 4 pm. Justin, his father, and Jessica were the only ones in his ward. Mr. Hemsworth had earlier asked his driver to take his mother and wife home so they could get some rest.Initially, old Mrs. Hemsworth had refused, insisting that she wanted to stay with her grandson, but after some persuasion from her son, she eventually left with Nora.The sun outside cast long shadows into the room through the window, causing a soft glow to envelop the room. Justin was propped up on the bed, his agile father standing just by the foot of the bed, observing him. Jessica, on the other hand, was sitting beside Justin on the bed. There was an awkward silence in the room.When Old Mrs. Hemsworth and Nora were leaving, Mr. Hemsworth had gone with them. Justin felt relieved, thinking his father was also leaving. He would finally have some quiet time with just his wife, he thought. But to his surprise and disappointment, his father came back a few minutes later, indic

Sonia had also been prosecuted, and her license was revoked due to her crimes.Nicholas's last request before being prosecuted for his own crimes was to have dinner with everyone in the family, a request they all had granted. Everyone tried to put on a smiling face, even though their hearts ached on the inside.The energy in the room was really low. Nicholas, noticing this, raised a glass and clanked it with a spoon to get everyone's attention as he cleared his throat. All sets of eyes were averted towards him as everyone eagerly waited to hear what he would say.Nicholas smiled brightly as his eyes swept across the faces at the dining table, acknowledging each of them in an endearing manner.

    Deep in thought, Justin drove to Jessica's mother's apartment. It had been two weeks since his discharge from the hospital.Two days after leaving the hospital, under persistent pressure from his grandmother and stepmother concerning Nicholas, Justin reached a decision. He chose to implore Jessica to perform the surgery on Nicholas, solely to prevent him from dyinf.This decision didn't signify forgiveness. In fact, he adamantly declined to visit Nicholas in the hospital. Fearful of what he might do to him as he remained vengeful and resentful, harboring deep anger for all he had endured at Nicholas' hands.The problem, however, was that Jessica had refused to treat Nicholas. In fact, they had engaged in an argument that led to her moving out of his apartment. All attempts to persuade her to reconsider proved fruitless. Since then, he had been trying to reach Jessica through her mother, with whom she had sought refuge.Surprisingly, when he called her mother that morning to inquire a

    Having recovered from the shock of Jessica's stern attitude, Nicholas looked at her with pleading eyes. Determined to make it work, he ensured everything he said seemed to come directly from his heart. Although he had mentally rehearsed this moment repeatedly, he didn't anticipate the scene playing out so soon.When he asked his father to help him plead with Jessica the previous day, he hadn't expected his wish to be granted. However, knowing he would see Jessica one day, he prepared ahead of time. Now, she stood before him. This was his opportunity, and he promised himself to make the most of it.Rising from the bed, his gaze fixed on Jessica, Nicholas's hand was cuffed to the bed, limiting his movement. Despite the constraint, he had enough room to do what he wanted. Jessica's eyes narrowed with hatred as she witnessed his eyes clouding with tears.Scoffing, she remarked, "I am listening. Say what you want to say; I need to be on my way soon." She eagerly waited for him to beg her

    Mr. Hemsworth arrived at the hospital with his mother and wife an hour later and stormed in the direction of Nicholas' ward. He had informed the hospital earlier that day to update him once his son woke up. The hospital was heavily guarded, as two sons of the most powerful and influential man in London, whose lives were still in imminent danger, were in different wards.For all Mr. Hemsworth knew, the culprit who had shot his second son was still at large. Until apprehended, Nicholas and even Justin were not safe. Who knows, the person trying to kill Nicholas might be attempting to cover up a dark past. Justin had mentioned that Nicholas was working with a cult. Could it be they wanted to silence Nicholas for good to prevent him from confessing to his crimes and thereby mention their involvement in money laundering and the attempt on Justin's life?Whatever it was, he would hear it now that his son was awake.As soon as they entered Nicholas' ward, Mr. Hemsworth motioned for the gua

    The doctor suddenly remembered he had given the nurse a task earlier and asked her to inform him as soon as it was completed. That had to be what she had come to tell him about.He corked a brow up and asked curiously, "Are the test results out?" Laura nodded in response to his question. She wore a grave expression on her face, which was really unsettling to Mr. Hemsworth, who was clueless about what was going on."What test results? Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on here?" he snapped in frustration.The doctor immediately felt the need to explain before things escalated any further. "I am sorry, Mr. Hemsworth, for keeping you in the dark. The thing is, in this hospital, it is standard procedure to conduct a full check-up on our patients to ensure they are medically fit," he exchanged glances with the nurse and continued, "we ran some tests on Nicholas, and it appears the results are out," he concluded.Mr. Hemsworth was a little tense. The girl's reaction hinted t

    Mr. Hemsworth stormed into the hospital an hour later with his bodyguards, looking as ferocious and angry as ever. No one dared to stop him; just the sight of him alone was very intimidating. The security stationed at the entrance had to make way for him after seeing how he had been greeted by the policemen. They already knew who he was; if the police, sent to protect the hospital, had allowed him to gain entrance at this crucial time when security was heightened, then they felt they had no choice but to do the same.Nicholas had been brought to the hospital in his disguised state, so the security men had no clue who the person being protected in the ward was. The hospital kept his identity a secret, and only people who had the right to know due to a role they had to play were informed. Seeing Mr. Hemsworth storm in, the security men gave each other a knowing look; whoever was being protected must be related to him in some way.Once inside, Mr. Hemsworth stood still as his ferociou

    The man who had accidentally knocked Nicholas down immediately alighted from his car. Upon reaching where Nicholas lay in a pool of his blood, being washed away by the soft patter of rain falling, he gasped in shock but immediately recollected himself. "Is he dead?" he thought in fright as he fell to his knees beside Nicholas."Hello? Hello?" he said as he shoved Nicholas lightly.No response!"Oh my God! What have I done?" the man cried in fear. His heart was thumping heavily against his chest. With trembling hands, he brought out his phone and dialed 999, London's emergency contact."I knocked down a man; he needs help!" he cried as soon as the call connected, staring down nervously at Nicholas.The road was a lonely one. He contemplated carrying Nicholas into his car and taking him to a nearby hospital. He glanced at Nicholas' unconscious body again, and a thought crossed his mind, one that chilled him to the bone, causing his jaw to drop as his eyes widened."What if he is dead?

    As soon as Jessica turned, a slight frown etched her face. Standing behind her was Dr. Martins, the same man she had heard from Nicholas, accused her of having a hand in the attack on her husband.When Dr. Martins found out few days ago, just like everyone else, that Jessica was Dr. Alexandra, he was absolutely gobsmacked. He wondered how that could be and thought back to the day Jessica was acting a little nonchalant in his office, realizing it was because she already had a solution to her husband's predicament.He had been scared to approach her due to the way he had treated her in the past—all the snide and sarcastic remarks he made in her presence hadn't gone unnoticed. From the beginning, he had made it clear he really didn't like her, but Jessica always responded to his ill treatment with kindness. To him, she was just acting, being the badass actress she was, which even infuriated him more.Pondering on the next steps to take, he had summoned the courage to meet Dr. Alexandra,

    Sonia was petrified, visibly shaken. Just who is this man, she wondered? The seconds it took for the man to respond felt like a million years to her. Her heart kept thumping against her ribcage."Who am I?" the man asked mockingly as he snorted a laugh. Sonia's eyes widened.Hearing the man speak again intensified her fear. She knew she had heard that voice before, but to whom did it belong?She cried pleadingly, "Please don't hurt me. Whoever you are, please don't harm me.""Hahaha, you should have thought of that when you decided not to keep to your own end of the bargain. Now move, slowly," he snapped angrily, pointing the gun more aggressively towards her as he motioned for her to go in the direction he wanted.That was when it hit her!"Is it you? What are you...wait, how did you know where I live?" she asked, trying to mask her fear."How the tables have turned. It wasn't difficult to find you at all.
