"Ten million dollars, and that's a deal," Evan curtly said in front of Jason Turner. "But-," Jason groaned, thinking about his losses. His attorneys also tried to reason with Evan and Scarlett. However, Scarlett, Evan's attorney, opposed it, saying, "Then, we will go to court. Trust me when I sa
Lucas received his blood transfusion in the evening, and in the morning, the couple finally got to speak with their son's doctor. Doctor Patel was very jolly when he entered the room. He greeted Lucas with a smile and said, "Good boy, Lucas. Your blood cells have improved. Did you eat a lot of bea

Keep him happy always. So I think it is a good idea to stay as a family. Lucas began tiring himself, always wai
"I am just stapling the upper right lobes. Prepare to remove the affected lung," Shantelle instructed her team as her eyes were fixed on the console of the robotic surgery. She was operating on a patient with lung cancer, cutting a portion of the patient's lung with a tumor. Seeing her patient's o
She found herself staring at the ovulation medication, one that she had secured last week while visiting a fertility doctor with Evan. She hissed and said, "This is all your fault." Finally, she decided to satisfy her craving. After calling Andy to pick her up, she ordered food at the nearby rest
"Tell me the truth, Evan, did Miss Cartera get to touch you?" Shantelle had not seen this woman, but again, this mystery lady tried to catch Evan's attention, and it did not sit well with her. Was Jessica not a lesson for everyone? With Lucas' condition, she and Evan were taking it further into the
"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
