Ricky held Jayden's hand tightly and felt the razor-sharp claws of Jayden's forefinger scrape his hand.Jayden turned to Ricky and slowly the gold in the center of his eyes disappeared and the black in his eyeballs returned to normal."It's okay. I'm fine now," said Jayden.Ricky nodded and let go of his hand. He took a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiped the blood from his scratched hands.Jayden looked at it. "Forgive me.""That's fine. Now calm down and listen to their explanation, for Lea's sake."The director of the Mother's Wing hospital--professor Mathew Mothis, doctor Jack Kelsey, and two other doctors, accompanied by the head nurse, looked very embarrassed and reluctant to see Jayden's icy face."How could a fatal error like this occur?" Jayden asked in an even tone. "Do you know what kind of situation we have to go through, hearing that Lea is sick and the possibility that she has a serious illness and that her condition could get worse at any time? It's so frustr
"I'm so relieved that everything turned out okay," said Ricky, when he, Jayden, and Lea arrived at the parking lot of the Franzine Blue hotel. "Especially you, Lea, because there are so many people who need you.""Actually, Ricky, I still wonder that Chaty knew that I had a diagnosis of having a tumor, even though in the end we found out that it was a mistake," Lea said confused."Ah, about that, I asked nurse Delila and she said, on the day you were supposed to come to be examined, which is the day you were kidnapped, a woman claiming to be your sister and guardian, called and asked about the call to the hospital that you accepted. It seems the call was the one recorded on your phone. Nurse Delila explained your condition in detail and expected you to come soon for a checkup. I think Cathy used the situation to create an alibi, making up the excuse you suddenly disappeared knowing that you were sick, instead kidnapped.""Uh, she even made me write a letter to Jayden, how come?""I th
"Hey beautiful," Jayden whispered in Lea's ear. "Wake up and see what I prepared for you."Lea opened one eye and quickly closed it again, burying her head under the covers in embarrassment at the way Jayden was looking at her. She felt Jayden's hand sink into the blanket and rub her bare shoulder. In fact, she was still completely naked under the covers."Don't look at me that way," Lea said, peeking out over the edge of the covers. "I'm embarrassed."Jayden laughed and hugged Lea with a blanket wrapped around her. "Oh my God, baby, how happy I am right now, until I wish time could stop and not move anymore, when I open my eyes and see you in front of me, feel you are in my arms. I want to be like this forever," Jayden whispered.Lea pulled the covers up to her neck and reached around Jayden's neck. "Me too, honey. I want to stay like this with you."Jayden kissed Lea's face and crushed his lips softly. "Get up and have breakfast. I made you a sandwich, fruit salad and apple juice fo
Lea was no longer worried about what she would face. She knows that it's not just one or two people who hate her, because they have many reasons to hate her.She tries to understand them. The feeling of being afraid of being rivaled, the feeling of not wanting to be humiliated, or simply having a heart that is difficult to satisfy, are some of the most reasonable reasons for them to hate her.However, Lea also knew that there were still a lot of people who liked her, even if they didn't show it overtly to her sometimes.For Lea, after she experienced terrible things the past few days, it was the most valuable experience for her, which made Lea realize that she should always live everything in her life wholeheartedly and not be afraid of anything.All beautiful things can turn bad in an instant and conversely, all bad things can turn into good, so he must take good care of himself and do everything seriously.Seeing the way Fely and Elena looked at her, she knew they hated her for bein
"Dad, why can't I reach Mommy?" Luke asked nervously. "I want to talk to her."Jayden saw Lea who had just stepped into the bathroom. "Mommy's busy son. She has auditions until tonight," Jayden answered carefully."I miss her," Luke complained again. "When are you guys coming home? It's been over a week since you two were gone.""We'll be right back after Mommy's work is done, son, don't worry. We miss you too."Jayden ended talking to Luke and when Lea came out of the bathroom he told her about the call.Lea smiled. "We'll go home after I finish auditioning for Marilyn, right?""Yes, honey. It will be a big surprise for Luke."Meanwhile, Luke stared blankly at his phone. He couldn't sleep well since last night. He really missed Lea and Jayden. His instincts told him something was wrong with his parents, but they didn't say anything to him because they didn't want to worry him.Shery entered Luke's room carrying chocolate milk and an egg sandwich. "Honey, let's finish your breakfast s
"I'm sorry, Ms. Amarin, my mother was sick a few weeks ago, so I was in my hometown for a long time to take care of her. There were lots of bills from the residents that I didn't have time to take care of and they were piling up," said Mr. Wien Thanapon, the apartment administrator, intercepted Lea and Jayden as they entered the apartment lobby."Ah, I'm sorry and I hope your mother is well now, Mr. Thanapon," said Lea softly."Thank you, Ms. Amarin and thankfully my mother is getting better after receiving treatment.""I'm glad to hear that. Ah, in that case, so that your business can be done quickly and I also don't forget to complete my obligations, how about we just settle it now about the bill for the apartment I live in?" Lea asked.Mr. Wien Thanapon seemed pleased to hear that. Lea turned to Jayden. "Babe, I'll take care of paperwork with Mr. Thanapon first. Is it okay if you go first?"Jayden smiled. "Sure honey, I need to take these cases too."Lea's eyebrows shot up, realizi
"You don't mind, honey, if I take their offered?" Lea asked, stroking Jayden's hair. "I need to know what you think." Jayden pulled Lea's waist closer to his body and stroked Lea's bare back. "Of course I don't mind, baby. It's all for your own good and I think Eternal entertainment is quite good and professional in dealing with its artists. At least they are fair, impartial, and transparent in their dealings with work and their artists needs." "Yeah, I guess so too, so I thought that I might be able to develop myself there. Eternal is very different from Echo entertainment." "You feel comfortable working there? With Shaira and Tony Ford and Ms. White and the other staf they have, and other models there?" "Yeah. So far they've been nice and fun to work with." "What about Elena and her manager--Harvey? They're kind of annoying, aren't they?" "I don't care about them, babe. In this case, I have to thank Fely, because she has forged me to be stronger to face all kinds of cheating a
Lea just realized that she had run out of cash and was a little worried that there wasn't enough money on her debit card to pay for the watch she had chosen.Yesterday Lea had transferred most of the money into Jayden's account because she had a sudden urge to shop, while browsing the furniture catalogue. Jayden laughed at Lea for suddenly sending most of her money into Jayden's account to keep her from buying cute sofa cushions, window blinds, or down-lined mattress covers."Baby, you can't do this," Jayden said yesterday. "You should have enough money in your account, in case you're going to need it to buy something.""I will ask you to send as much as I need, babe. That will keep me from being wasteful," Lea replied, clenching her fists. "I still have to learn to resist those pretty sunflower curtains, or that water-absorbent silicone bath mat. They're darned things that don't matter but tempt my faith to have them.""Jeez, my darling, you really are a drama queen.""Come on, babe,
