Patricia's face looked surprised, then she quickly changed her expression to an annoyed look.She did not accept Audrey's accusation even though it was true."What do you mean by saying I lied?" Patricia protested Audrey's words.Audrey curled her lips downward. "When you say that Doctor Andrew has a mistress, it's a form of slander. You should be careful what you say. Don't spread lies."Patricia snorted sarcastically. "I lied?" She almost stammered before she finally controlled her expression.Patricia put on a calm face and said, "Those words should have been directed at you. You can't just accuse me of lying or slandering people. Do you have any evidence that I'm lying?"Audrey was just about to turn Patricia's words around when she heard Alea crying.She turned to her daughter in surprise. "Alea, sweetheart. What's wrong, why are you crying all of a sudden?"Audrey squatted down and aligned herself with Alea. She cupped her only daughter's face with both hands. Her thumbs wiped a
Patricia and Bryan were surprised to see Doctor Andrew who looked familiar with Audrey.He also did not expect that Audrey could call the doctor so easily.Patricia held Bryan's arm who stood beside her with a slightly shocked face. "How did she contact the doctor? Bryan whispered that only the two of them could hear.Patricia seemed to be holding back her frustration. She couldn't accept that Audrey was far superior to her in any way. Patricia felt that the woman was always ahead of her and ahead of anything she could achieve.She hated Audrey for being so dominant.Audrey seems to have calmed down a bit since the arrival of Doctor Andrew. She hopes and believes that the doctor can save Kenzie.Audrey turned to Alea who was still crying on a waiting chair not far from the front of the emergency room.Audrey approached her daughter and sat down beside her. She held Alea from the side and looked at her gently."Alea, sweetheart. Now you don't have to worry. Kenzie will be saved by the
Audrey was thinking very bad things because of her fear. She shouldn't be this pessimistic. She had to believe that Kenzie was a strong child and that he would wake up soon and call Audrey 'Mommy'.Kenzie was moved to the infirmary and Audrey kept the child company. She sat beside Kenzie's bed and continued to look at the child with her sad eyes.It was obvious that her face was very tired."You rest." Daniel came over and rubbed Audrey's shoulder.Audrey shook her head no. "I want to stay here with him. Right now Kenzie is fighting for his life, how can I rest when he is trying so hard? The child must also be very tired, but I am sure that Kenzie will not give up."Daniel gently squeezed Audrey's shoulder. He could feel the motherly love shown by Audrey. The woman even tried to look strong even though Daniel could see the fragile look in her eyes.A mother should be like this. A mother's sincere love will be very visible if something happens to her child.Daniel felt that Audrey was
Audrey's eyes glared at Patricia threateningly, and then the next second Patricia gasped at the sudden movement of Audrey who was now holding her neck with both hands.The woman pushed her so hard that Patricia's body was carried backward and hit the wall. Cornering her until Patricia was helpless.Patricia tried to release Audrey's hands around her neck. Pulling both hands, but in vain.I don't know where Audrey got the power from so Patricia felt that her strength was like the strength of a man.Patricia was overwhelmed. Her neck was choked with pain."T-help!!!" her cry sounded hoarse, but it was enough to be heard outside the room.Daniel and Abraham who heard this rushed into the room.They were shocked to see the eye-widening scene.Abraham picked up his stick and was about to hit Audrey to make her let go of Patricia.However, as the stick swung, at the same time Daniel put his back up to protect Audrey.Daniel's back was hit by the stick which was quite strong.Audrey was surp
He still looked sad in his chair.Audrey looked at Kenzie's body, which was still lying helplessly."Are you okay?" asked Daniel, who was starting to worry about Audrey's condition.He could see the effect of Patricia's words on Audrey.The woman looked strong in front of many people, but once alone, Audrey would become very weak and dissolve into sadness.Daniel touched Audrey's shoulder and snapped her out of her reverie.Audrey was surprised and looked up at Daniel."Do you need anything? I'll bring it to you later," Daniel said thoughtfully.Audrey shook her head. In her heart, all she wanted was Kenzie's recovery. She could not always see Kenzie helplessly closed like this.Every second that Audrey passed was only covered with fears of the worst thing happening to Kenzie."Do you think Kenzie will come back to us?" Audrey asked desperately.If possible, she was willing to take Kenzie's place. As long as God gave healing to the child."Sure. Kenzie is just asleep. Maybe he's tired
Patricia felt she had no other choice. She discussed with Bryan and said she would use the Aldians' genes and put them into her body.She did this to prove that she and Kenzie had the same genes.Bryan didn't seem to approve of the crazy idea."That would be very risky," he told Patricia. Trying to change his son's idea.However, Patricia was adamant and didn't care anymore."It could endanger yourself Patricia," Bryan said again.He was really worried about his son's condition. If she did that there were only two possibilities.The first was that if Daniel found out, then Patricia's history would be over. He would never be able to trust her again and Bryan was a thousand percent sure that Daniel would never want to see her again.Then the second possibility was that Daniel or anyone else didn't know what Patricia was doing, but that didn't mean the child was safe. Bryan was also worried about the child's health.Patricia had a heart condition and Bryan was worried that his actions wo
Audrey lifted her chin to signal one of the guards there to remove Patricia's head covering.Patricia blinked to adjust her vision."Aah!!!" she cried out in fear as she saw a large lion not far from her. Her body reflexively moved backward away from the lion.In his fear, he looked around and found so many guards who were there. Then she also saw the presence of Daniel and Audrey who were not far from her place.Patricia just realized that Daniel was involved in this kidnapping."Are you afraid?" asked Daniel with a mocking smile.Patricia nodded quickly. Her back was already wet with sweat by now, even her hands were shaking uncontrollably due to the fear of seeing the lion so close to her.This was crazy!!! She should not be treated like this."You better tell the truth if you don't want the lion to get close to you," Audrey warned Patricia again.She was fed up with Patricia's lies. The woman was good at acting.Patricia pressed her body against the wall and cowered in the corner.
Patricia had given up. She closed her eyes as the lion approached her again.Her body trembled helplessly. She did not think that Daniel could be this kind to her.Patricia was still closed as if waiting for death to pick her up, at the same time, Daniel raised his hand as he called Leon's name."Leon!" The man stopped Leon's movement. The lion understood Daniel's order. So he backed away and lay down in the corner of the room with his eyes on Patricia.Patricia opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief that she could still survive this time."You understand your mistake now?" Audrey asked Patricia coldly.Patricia nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I realize my mistake because I couldn't take care of those two children properly. Please forgive me, Audrey. After all, Kenzie is fine now too."Audrey snorted in annoyance. She felt that Patricia would never admit to her actions even if she died. That woman was so stubborn and felt she was above everything.Audrey turned to Daniel, even at this
Daniel parked his car in the parking lot of an apartment building in the capital city.The apartment was quite luxurious and very comfortable.He took the elevator and got off on the floor he was heading to. Upon reaching the door, Daniel rang the bell.Lily opened the door.“What is it?” Daniel asked directly.Lily opened the door wide, inviting him in.He stepped further inside, his eyes landing on a large suitcase, half-filled with clothes.Raising an eyebrow, Daniel asked, “Are you leaving?”Lily nodded. “I’m moving out,” she said as she resumed folding clothes and putting them into the suitcase.“Moving? Why so sudden?” Daniel was puzzled by her abrupt decision.“Some people at the office have started gossiping. They’ve figured out that I live in this luxurious apartment,” Lily explained.Daniel didn’t see the problem.“Wait, I still don’t understand what you mean.”Lily paused her folding, then stood a few steps in front of him.“Sir, if people find out that this apartment was a
Daniel couldn’t simply ignore the surge of anger he felt imagining Audrey going out with another man."Tell me, who did you go with?" Daniel asked in a deep tone.Audrey was annoyed with him. She had asked him to leave, but Daniel persisted with his questions.She stood up from the bed where Alea was sleeping and faced Daniel directly. She boldly looked him in the eye. "Yes, I went out with Vincent earlier, and this jacket is his."Hearing that, Daniel's jealousy burned even hotter. His fists clenched tightly as he heard Vincent's name mentioned.His mind suddenly flashed back to Vincent's question at Abraham's house.Vincent had unexpectedly asked how well Daniel knew Audrey. Did that mean they had known each other for a long time?"Are you and Vincent—""There’s no need for baseless assumptions. We met by chance."Audrey bit her lip, feeling foolish. Why was she even explaining this to Daniel?Daniel never explained where he went or what he did.Still, her response offered Daniel so
Audrey would return Vincent's suit another time.She clicked her tongue. That meant she would have to meet Vincent again later, even though Audrey was reluctant to deal with him anymore. She knew Vincent wouldn’t stop bothering her easily.Audrey stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to head to Kenzie's treatment room.As soon as the elevator doors opened on her floor, she stepped out. A few nurses on duty greeted her warmly, and Audrey returned their smiles, though she felt far too drained to smile sincerely at the moment.Walking down the hallway past several treatment rooms, she finally reached Kenzie's room. When she opened the door, she saw Daniel sitting on a long sofa, his head tilted back, looking at her.It seemed he had been waiting for her. Audrey averted her gaze for a moment, closing her eyes. She felt so tired—not just physically, but emotionally as well.Right now, she didn’t want to face Daniel.Audrey entered the room and noticed Kenzie was already asleep i
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
