Gwen's POV"You have not stopped crying since yesterday, Gwen. You are injured, and it is not good for you," Jane said, holding my hands.I sat on the sofa staring at the ceiling.My well-being was the last thing I was thinking about. I had only a scratch on my head, but my son has a hole in his heart.“I had the money Jane, but they just took it away from me. Why are people so cruel?” Tears poured down my cheeks in a hot stream."We will figure something out, I promise," she reassured me.Ricky stood by the door, watching us. One could see how upset he was. He blamed himself for not being there to protect me.This was entirely my fault; I never should have gone there alone. It was too late now, the money for my boy's treatment was gone.“Ricky and I will be going back to Oklahoma later today. Granny said Ethan's health is not improving” I took a deep breath.“I should be there with him.”“Gwen, you can't travel in this state.” Jane said.“What would you have me do? Stay here? I need
Andrew's POVI could not believe I was actually standing in front of the building.The building was two stories tall and contained several apartments.“Are you sure this is the place Fred?” I asked.“Yes boss. This is Jane's address. She is in room number six on the ground floor.I can not believe the search for Gwen led me here; I have never been anywhere like this.I sauntered into the building, accompanied by Fred, who was nearly twice my size.We arrived at a door with the number 6 written boldly on it. I was already here, and I can not turn back now.I reluctantly knocked on the door and heard a voice say, "I will be there in a sec."Shortly after, the door opened, and in front of me stood a blonde woman about Gwen's age.She was wearing an apron and her cheeks were covered in flour. The smile on her face disappeared the moment she saw me.“Jane?” I asked firmly. I had never met Jane before; I only knew her name because Gwen frequently mentioned it.“Yes. What are you doing here?
Gwen's POVI opened my eyes and found myself wrapped in Ricky's arms. Apparently, I dozed off after our conversation last night.He looked so peaceful while sleeping. Sometimes I wondered what I had done to deserve someone as supportive as him. He was a true friend.I slowly released myself from his grip as I did not want to wake him up.I heard noise coming from Ethan's bed and I rushed there. My son was awake.His giggle made me smile, but I could also feel the tears welling up inside of me. I was happy and sad at the same time."My little angel," I said, cradling his tiny fingers.Suddenly, there was a loud beep from the ventilator that supplied air to Ethan. The beep was continuous and would not stop.“Oh my God!” I exclaimed."Doctor, nurse, anyone?" I called out, repeatedly tapping the emergency button.Ricky was startled awake by my scream, and he rushed over to me.Just then, a group of medical experts dashed into the room."You need to leave, ma'am," one of them said as the o
Gwen's POV“Doctor!” I called out, observing the door to the OR was opened.“How is he?”“Congratulations Miss Gwen, the surgery was successful.”A smile covered my face. I have never felt this relief in my entire life. It was a success.Granny got up in joy, rushed to me and hugged me. She was in tears, one could see how tense she was.“Ethan is fine,” She said repeatedly.“Can we see him?” I asked elated.“Not at the moment, we will have to transfer him to a ward and observe him for a while, then visitors will be permitted” “Now if you will excuse me” The pediatric surgeon said while walking away.My little boy was fine, He made it, that was all that was on my mind. *********Few weeks later, Ethan was discharged from the hospital. He was recovering well and fast.We were instructed by the pediatrician to frequently come to the hospital for medical check ups.Granny was not around that weekend. I forced her to volunteer for a kid's camp. It has been a traumatic period of time for
Gwen's POVEmory?His face had that strict look it always has. He was standing in front of me. He was in a black suit and held a briefcase firmly.The same man that abandoned me when I needed him the most. The Same man that who didn't give a fuck about his grandson's life.“Where is my mother?” He asked.“She isn't home.” “Oh I see, is that why you have your lover here?” He said giving Ricky an indignant look. “I won't have you insult my friend Mr. Emory” I snapped, my voice kicking up a note.Before now, I secretly hoped that my father and I would sort things out eventually but looking at him now, I felt nothing but hatred and rage towards him.“Emory?” He laughed in amusement. “Well, that's new”.“Am I permitted to come into my mother's house?” He asked with a grin.I was unsure what he was doing here. Regardless, I couldn't keep him out, he technically bought this house for Granny.I swiftly moved my body creating space for him to walk in the house.“I will be here for the weeke
Andrew's POVI stormed into Elena's office, furious. She had not been answering my calls, and I was clearly too upset to wait for her to return them.When I walked in, Elena was sitting in her chair, and her assistant Stella was sitting opposite her, with some ladies lined up. They had some makeup products displayed on the office desk. Elena appeared surprised when she saw me.“Could you please excuse us?" I said, staring at Stella, then the ladies which were lined up.“But baby, we are in the middle of something right now. I need to try each and every one of these lipstick shades on my models” Elena said."I do not care. Get out" I howled.“Let's go ladies,” Stella said, noticing the atmosphere was tensed.I watched them match out of the room and turned to Elena who was visibly upset.“What is all this about Andrew?” She roared.“What the hell is this?” I asked, furiously pulling out my phone to show her a picture.She took a few moments to look at the phone. “Was that the reason
Elena's POVI looked at my watch with annoyance. Where the hell is Rickard? He was already very late."I would like a glass of mango sunrise cocktail," I told the waiter, struggling to maintain a smile.I picked up my phone and dialed Rickard's number.“Where the fuck are you?” I yelled over the phone."Andrew is here; I can not come to you now," he said before hanging up. What? Andrew is? Why is he here at the same time and place I came to meet Rickard?I knew Andrew, and he never comes to places like this, which is why I choose this particular restaurant.I looked around and saw him enter through the door. He was unaccompanied and I found that strange.Thank goodness Rickard saw him and notified me on time. If not, what would I have said to him if he had found Rickard and I here?I waved my hands towards him.He came over to where I was sitting after noticing me.“Hey” He said coldly.“What are you doing here Andrew?” I inquired, trying to maintain a serious demeanor.“I was aroun
Gwen's POV A notification from my email prompted me awake. I rubbed my eyes while mumbling. I slept very late last night because Ethan would not stop crying.I unlocked my phone to check my email. I jumped out of bed with excitement after reading it.I screamed enthusiastically, "Yes!"Granny rushed to my room's door and began knocking.“Gwen, are you fine?” She asked.I hurriedly opened the door and began jumping like a ten-year-old.She looked at me with complete amusement. Her face showed clearly that she was confused.I could not contain my joy as I read the email to Granny. My tone conveyed happiness.Finally, one of my applications received a positive response after numerous unsuccessful attempts."I am very excited, Granny." "It has been a while since I have seen you smile this much," Granny made fun of me.Granny might be right. I felt genuinely happy. It was the first time I felt this happy since Emory's attack on me."I could finally get you a new car, Granny," I said, wr
