Alone in the lonely corridor of the hospital, Jade felt like she went on a trip to hell, waiting for the operating theater to open.

Being a surgeon, she had always been the one who performed surgery and never experienced waiting outside to hear news from the doctors.

She didn't imagine that one day she would anxiously wait outside the operating room. Waiting in dread.

Overwrought, Jade made up her mind to barge into the operating room. When she was at the point of pushing the door to the operating room, it suddenly opened.

"Dr. Leitner," the doctor said in surprise.

"How is the patient, Dr. Townsend?" Jade's anxious gaze gave away how much the man meant to her.

"The bullet was removed already, but it punctured his lungs. We have to put him under observation," Dr. Townsend replied and gave a gentle pat on Jade's shoulder.

    Like a walking shell, Jade mindlessly walked being led by Tyler, oblivious to the stares thrown at her by her colleagues. Dread filled her system as Luke's state wasn't hopeful. She was too afraid to lose him. Apart from Colton and Tim, Luke had been her pillar for many years and she have depended on him a lot. It was cold outside, so Tyler took of his suit jacket and draped it over Jade's body. But his action seemed insignificant to the woman whose mind was utterly occupied by another man. She didn't even notice that Tyler covered her with his coat. Staring painfully at his wife, Tyler couldn't do anything but to endure the excruciating agony. This must how she had felt when he ignored her after believing Sophia's lie.He was such an idiot. An astute businessman, manipulated by a woman.

    Just after he successfully persuaded Jade to sleep, Tyler heard someone knocking. Immediately, he strode to the door and opened it.

She left the luggage and walked away without passing on the message. When Tyler finished having a shower, he went straight to the bed after putting on his pajamas. It's been a long time since he held Jade to sleep. He didn't know if he should be thankful that Jade is in this state or should he worry about it.

However, he was sad that she seemed oblivious to his presence because if she did, she would push him away. At day break, a scream, awakened Tyler from deep sleep. Jade was screaming Luke's name in her dream. "Jade,"

    Blue light appeared in the sky pushing away the darkness, announcing the new day dawning. A new day, a new beginning. But for Jade, being fully immersed in sadness, felt like being stuck in darkness. Never realized the light of the day again. It's been a week since Luke's funeral. The death of Luke created a huge hole in Jade's heart. And she didn't know how to patch that empty space in her life. "Good morning, mommy," Timothy greeted her.

The glum in her eyes couldn't be dispelled even with her son's bright smile. Jade sat up and checked the time. The digital clock sitting on the bedside table indicated that it's already seven in the morning. "Have a shower, mommy will send you to school.""Really?" Timothy was so happy that he couldn't believe what he heard. Jade had been locking herself for the whole week. It

"Did you finally wake up and remember your promise to me? You said that when I grow up, you're going to marry me," Sophia had an aggrieved look on her.

    Hatred flickered in the gray orbs of the young boy as he stared at the woman called his mother. Not once did he feel loved by her.

    In the morning, Jade walked into the kitchen with a limp. She gulped when she saw the back of her man. His tight fit t- shirt and joggers defined his broad shoulders, slim waist and perky butt.

    A confused Jade walked out of the hospital flanked by bodyguards. Once seated on the rear passenger seat, Jade fished out her phone from her bag and called Tyler. "Babe," Tyler's voice came over.
