“Doctor, how is my son?” Roseanne asked when the doctor exited Leon's room. She had been waiting for an update. She inquired a lot of nurses but none of them gave her a proper answer. It seemed they did not know what was going on inside the operation theater. This made her more stressed about her son's condition. The doctor's answer put her in a further predicament, “The child has critical injuries. We performed the surgery but he is still in a critical condition. Only after observing him, can we say anything.”Roseanne’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Why was this happening with her son? What wrong did he do to deserve all of this? At this time, Nicholas was not here as he was resting after donating blood. Sitting alone in the empty hallway took a toll on her heart. She was sitting alone at this time when her phone rang. It was Ellora who was calling her to inquire about Leon's condition. She was so thankful that there was someone to talk to. Roseanne could not control her tears as
“Nikolai! Do you have a heart?” Ellora screamed from the other side. How could he harm a child like that? She understood that he was not supposed to harm Leon but Roseanne. How dare he get the courage to hurt someone his son liked? Was he not scared of his son's wrath? He already had such a fucked up relationship with his son and why was he hellbent on ruining it further? She wished that she was near him. She would have shaken him and asked him how the hell he amassed such courage to do something so stupid. Nikolai laughed from the other side. “Of course, who does not have it?”He was feeling quite the villain that he was. He felt good just feeling about the result of his action. That nobody woman would not think of trapping his son anymore. “How can you do this?” Ellora questioned him again. Nikolai chuckled and asked, “How can I not do it?”He further added, “I asked you to follow my orders. Instead, you left home and decided to stay in a foreign country with your son who has no
On the other hand, Ellora sent Johnson to Nicholas to inform him about everything that transpired. Nicholas needed to know what his father did. If Nikolai could hurt Roseanne and his family once, he could do it many times because she knew what kind of man he was. He failed in killing Roseanne and Leon got hurt instead. What if this time he aimed for Roseanne? Ellora dared not to think about the consequences of Nikolai’s craziness. She regretted not telling her son about Nikolai's intention of setting him up with Sabrina. He was obsessed with setting an alliance with the Taylor family for his benefit. Nicholas must know the craziness his father was up to or something worse was going to happen to her family. Initially, she didn't tell for fear of fragmenting her family but she couldn't delay anymore. If he got hurt because she didn't tell him about these things earlier, she would bear his anger. It was her mistake to hide something big like this. Currently, Johnson was inside the r
“Anne, trust me. I did not hurt Leon. I could never bear to hurt him. I love him. Please listen to me,'' Nicholas tried to grab her but she screamed and pulled her daughter back. She was not ready to be anywhere near him. She hated him. She hated his sight and excuses. If he thinks that she would trust him and be near him, he has another thing coming! She pushed him back when he tried to hold her again. Coco had woken up at this time with all the noises around her. However, she was so scared to see this incident that she kept her eyes shut, “No!” Anne threatened him, “You will not come anywhere near me or my family. You almost killed my son and you will kill my daughter too!”“Please Anne! Please!” Nicholas was begging her to listen to him. He would explain everything to her but she was not ready to hear the truth. She did not want to listen anything to a murderer like him. He used to hurt other people before and now he was harming his own son. Only if he knew what he and his family
When Roseanne was losing herself in grief, she was not watching where she was going. She had been carrying a sleeping Coco and did not see where she was going and almost stumbled but someone appeared and grabbed the girl and her mother a while later. She looked up to find a familiar figure and hugged him. She was so thankful that he was back. To see a familiar face when nothing was going right was the only thing she wanted. “Nathan!” She cried, hugging him. “Hush,” Nathaniel hugged her back. Pointing at the Hart family, she said, “They killed our Leon. He is in hospital fighting with life.”Nathaniel nodded his head, “I know.”She apologized to him, “I am sorry I trusted them.”She should have been careful with who she was trusting but she didn't listen to him or care about his efforts. Going against him, she went near Nicholas which she should have never done even in her wildest dreams. Nathaniel told her, “You are not one to blame.”Nicholas looked at the figure at the door in ut
Nicholas began laughing like a maniac. “He is my brother.” He laughed and laughed until tears filled his eyes. “He is my brother. I cannot kill him even though he stole my woman. Because he is a bloody brother.”What a life he was living. He could not control anything in his life. He looked at the ceiling and said with a self-deprecating laugh, “My wife faked her death and left me.”He recalled everything that happened with him through the course of these five years, “I died every day after her fake death.”He said, “I met her again. Loved her again.”He added, “I loved her children like my own.”As if he couldn't believe it, he said, “My father orders the same children to be killed.”He added, “She hates me again because she thinks I am responsible.”He did a lot of hard work to make a space for him in her heart again. With a lot of regret and shock, he said, “And it turned out the one always helping her was my own bloody brother.”He added, “He even married her and fathered her ch
Nathaniel and Roseanne were at the hospital. The next day Leon's condition had improved a bit. He was out of danger but he still needed critical care. All night they were in the hospital and were just rushing. It was only when Leon's condition improved, they could relax. As they were sitting in the waiting room with Coco sleeping in Nathaniel’s lap, Roseanne said, “Thank you, Nathan. Thank you for being here for us all the time. If it was not for you, I would not know who to run to. Every time I am in trouble or difficulty, you come to save me.” Her eyes became teary as she added, “If God made my life miserable by adding Harts in my life, he also sent you. I wish I could know how to repay you for the things you did for me.”Nathaniel sighed, “We are family. You shouldn't say it. Leon is my son. He has been my son since the time I held him in my arms. I will always be here for my son and his mother. No matter what.”Roseanne let out a teary smile,” How can you be so selfless?”“Trust
In the hallway of the hospital, Nathaniel held Roseanne's hand and asked her to stop. He said, “Please listen to me once.”Roseanne smiled, pointing behind him, “I don't think it's the right time to talk. We should focus on Leon’s well-being for the while.”Nathaniel turned back to find Nicholas following them. He nodded his head, indicating that he was aware of what she was talking about. “Alright, when you are ready to talk, you can find me.”Nathaniel and Roseanne returned to the waiting room where Coco was sitting there. Seeing her parents, she said, “Mommy and daddy, where were you?”“I'm sorry, baby,” Roseanne quickly said. “I went to find your daddy. But we won't leave you alone now.”Coco hugged her mother. After Leon's accident, she was scared to let her parents go out of her sight. She wanted them to be always around her. Her tiny heart was scared after seeing her brother wrapped in bandages. The incident had left a very big scar on the child's heart. “Okay, Mommy, ”Coco sa
