Shantelle sucked in a breath. Her lips trembled as she replied, "But - but this will leave a permanent scar. Not even surgery can completely cover this kind of scar." "What's important is that you are safe. I'm afraid it would have been too late if we had waited for the firemen." He shut his eyes a
"Sir Erwin, we would just like to know the condition of the last organ donor," Shantelle asked. With what happened to Shantelle, Warlington Hospital requested a meeting with the organ center. The organization's assistant administrator, Erwin, came to entertain their queries. "What's the use of a
"I'm happy to know my friend thinks I am appealing," Evan gladly remarked, making Shantelle squint. That wasn't her point at all. She pressed his wounds again, and Evan hissed. "Careful, friend. Careful there." "Which part of your skin did they use to cover your arm?" Shantelle inquired. That was

"Let me, Shanty," Evan offered. "No, let me," Keith proposed. Both Keith's and Evan's eyes narrowed at each other as if letting out laser beams. They still had not settled their issues, but when it came to Shantelle, they worked together. They had both offered to help Shantelle carry out a box o
"You sure had it made," Keith added. Evan found himself leaning back, simply studying Keith. Soon he said, "Thank you for looking out for Shanty and Lucas all those years, but it still doesn't change the fact that you deprived me of my son and lied to me." Keith looked down and replied, "I though
Earlier that day, at Warlington Hospital, Doctor Hale was notified of a heart arriving. Doctor Park prepared the operating room. What surprised Doctor Hale was how the organ center did not call him. He wondered, 'So who was notified? Was there a bypass in the hierarchy?' His job was to walk Doctor
"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.

“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
