"Happy Anniversary, grandma & grandpa!" Lucas greeted, carrying a cake early in the morning into the dining room. Behind him was his mother, Shantelle. "Happy Anniversary, mom and dad!" Shantelle greeted. Both Shantelle and Lucas kissed William and Eleanor on the cheek. Shantelle then gave an en
Shantelle was getting used to her new schedule. For the past three days, she had been bringing Lucas to school. She had a few hours to rest at home before waking up again to fetch her son, and then she would go straight to work. What she dreaded, however, was the coming weekend. She was going to t
***Meanwhile, in one private suite at Warlington Hospital, the Thompsons had already settled in. Erick Thompson was connected to a heart monitor, resting in bed while his wife, Clara, noted instructions from the nurse. "Doctor Hale will introduce you to the patients attending doctors tomorrow.
Evan's heart swelled with pride, seeing this different side of Shantelle. This had always been her dream, and she finally achieved it. His ex-wife was now a doctor. Shantelle looked more sophisticated. She was confident, and she commanded the nurses with conviction. She moved around the emergenc
Honestly, it wasn't in her place to care. She felt it was such a slap on her face that he would get the same wedding ring for him and Nicole. Of course, she considered how she could be wrong. It had been so long since she had removed her wedding ring. Perhaps her mind was playing tricks on her. "
"Hi, you must be new here," a girl wearing an elegant cocktail dress greeted Evan at the bar of their hotel accommodation. Instead of attending to his emails and resting for the night, he drank away his sorrows. Hearing the woman next to him, Evan raised his hand, showing off his wedding ring, sayi
“Shanty, I used to watch you as a child. Did you suddenly forget that?” Clara said. Shantelle felt her colleague’s gaze landed on her. Her superior gave her that look. She knew exactly what Doctor Hale was thinking. “Shanty,” finally Erick Thompson spoke. He forced himself to sit on the bed, pus
“What is it, Shanty? Tell us. Share with uncle and aunt,” Clara pleaded. Shantelle gave them another smile, saying, “I will have another talk with you both, perhaps after the surgery?” “Why, Shanty,” Clara pouted. “You can talk to us anytime. We don’t have to wait for the surgery -” Suddenly, Er
"Fuck. Lucas is back?" Lewis indignantly turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know about this?" "Is Lucas really back, Lily?" Lily's mother also asked in shock. All her brothers, except for Liam, asked the same thing. Lily helplessly looked at Liam, and seeing her brother wasn't going to spill eithe
"The aortic stent graft collapse," Doctor Steven reported to the Wright family. "That caused him to faint. So, earlier, we inserted another stent, and he is under observation." "I feel that there is a but coming," Lily's oldest brother, Liam, predicted. Behind him, all of Lily's brothers were givin
"Mommy, are you okay? You have been staring into spaces lately," Aiden asked. Lily was helping her son with his homework. While Aiden wrote his answers in the book, Lily was in a daze. "Sorry, Buddy. Was thinking of something," Lily said. "Are you done?" "Almost. I'm so glad your mission got canc
Liam had introduced Jake to Lily as one of their new contractors. Often, Jake traveled to other cities to make proposals, hoping to get another project for the company. That was why he was in Lockwood. "Lily, my job here will be extended for another week," Jake revealed. "But I'll see you after th
"You know what, Lucas? You are insane!" Lily yelled, pulling her arm away from him. She did it so forcefully that the necklace around Lucas' neck bounced to reveal that golden tag with her name carved on it. Instantly, Lily stilled. Her heart skipped a beat while her eyes were glued to the pendant
"He is an important person who needs protection. It will be your primary responsibility to oversee his security," the major loudly said to Lily while they were on a military helicopter, flying ten thousand feet above the ground. This was one of those odd assignments. When Lily arrived at the mil
"Somebody has guilt written all over their face," Lily softly commented, seeing her oldest brother, Liam Wright, in the dining area of their home early that morning. If anyone knew about the arrival of one Lucas Thompson, her brother would be it. After all, Liam previously managed the joint business
“Lily? My favorite daughter in the world is back!” Lily’s mother, Scarlett, exclaimed. Lily could not help but roll her eyes at her mother’s remark. She responded, “Mom, you can’t have a favorite daughter. I am your only daughter!” Scarlett laughed. Lily’s father, Kaleb, who was sipping tea in th
Of course, what did she expect? He left her without saying anything. So now, he was practically denying their past relationship by pretending not to know her! The truth was, it stung a little. When he disappeared, Lily cried an ocean for him, yet this was how he treated her now? Then again, Lily s
