November 30, 2022. Thank you for reading. The next chapter will be tomorrow, before 5pm Singapore Time. I'm sorry I am late today. I will make it in time tomorrow for sure. Will Keith's plan work? Let's see.
“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
“Mommy, the weekend is coming,” Lucas asked. His eyes gleamed when he turned to her in the car’s back seat. Shantelle faintly smiled and said, “I know.” “Will you tell me about my daddy?” Lucas sought. “Yes, I will,” she replied, but her heart raced at the thought. ‘You might even meet him.’ “
"Are you and Nicole married?" The question made Evan lean back. He sucked in a breath, realizing how the time had finally come. He looked her in the eye and outright said, "No, I did not marry her, and I never intended to marry her." "Then what's that ring on your finger?" She asked. For a flee
He went on, narrating his every effort, including how he slept overnight in the cemetery when Karise's mother died. "Shanty, I did everything possible, but Karise never told me where you were." "Good afternoon," the restaurant's server interrupted Evan's story, serving two plates of green salad. "S
"Doctor Hale, can I take the rest of the day off? The school called. Lucas is sick. I need to make sure he is okay," Shantelle asked, calling her superior. "It's okay, Doctor Shant. You had come in for surgery before five in the morning. Just leave your work phone open in case we have an emergency
'He is yours.' The words that Shantelle said circled in Evan's head a few times. He could not move and simply stared at Shantelle. "Mommy? Who is he?" He heard the young man's voice, and Evan turned to see. He met a pair of brown-colored eyes that were similar to his. He gulped with the realizat
Letting out another sigh, Shantelle requested, "Give me time to talk to Lucas, and I will tell you when you can see him." Because Evan took his time to respond, she added, "Please. Don't make this harder for me than it already is. I still need to explain your absence to my son. This is not easy for
"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
