“God, please don’t let my father die,” Evina couldn’t fight the tears from streaming down like a waterfall in her face. She tried to wipe them off, only to be replaced by more tears.
Her newly restored relationship with her father hasn't even reached a decade! She didn’t expect that something like this would happen to him.
“He will be alright,” Gabriel grabbed her shivering hand and pressed them. His plum lips curled in a reassuring smile as he tried to ease the pain she was feeling inside.
“Let’s go, please,” Evina stared out the window, hoping that time would fly and take them to where her father was right now.
They weren’t able to finish the movie as Chairman Yang told her the bad news. Her father was in the hospital, and he needed a blood transfusion as soon as possible.
They immediately went to the parking lot, so they could get out and go there at once.
Gabriel was about
Evina felt her blood boil to its highest degree. She has already forgotten how it feels like to be this angry with someone.How could this man have his father’s watch? He also attacked her and Gabriel!She heard the man snickered as his chest heaved up and down. It was as if he was amused at her rampage.“You’re still as smart as ever, Evina. I am not surprised,” the attacker uttered behind his tortoiseshell.Evina’s eyes widened as her lips turned pallid white. How could he know her name?Was he after her, and not Gabriel? Her lips trembled as her hand reached for Gabriel.To her surprise, Gabriel pulled away from her.Her forehead scrunched as she thought about the sudden change in his affection.To her surprise, Gabriel walked to the attacker at breakneck speed and pinned him back to the car.“Who are you?” He growled as he forcefully removed his hood from his face. It was fas
Evina gulped, her throat went dry. Her heart seemed to stop beating as the world seemed to stop spinning.Gabriel and she were in the middle of a chaotic situation.She couldn’t believe what he just said. He confessed to everyone his desire to marry her!Somehow, that relieved her of the distress and humiliation that she was experiencing right now.The facial expressions of the surrounding people turned from scorn to feeling thrilled, hearing the confession of sincere love from a CEO to her longtime lover.Gabriel continued to rub her shoulders and gazed at her with all sincerity. “I’m not asking you to agree now. I just want you to know how I truly feel for you. For now, you focus on what you need to do. Go.”Evina nodded as she knew what he was talking about.They were still in the parking lot. Their real intention for being there was to rush to the hospital as soon as possible. Her father was wounded and needs
Evina’s heart pumped in a frenzy as she traversed the traffic to the hospital where her father was admitted. She still hasn’t moved on from the chaotic scene at the parking lot. To be honest, she didn’t want to leave Gabriel behind. Even with his position, he could still go to jail. The son of Chairman Ming was badly beaten by him. She has already put him in prison. Fortunately for her, the women that he abused spoke up. And there were also other people who helped them, including Gabriel’s connection. But she also has an idea that with his influence, he could easily get out and go on a rampage, if he didn’t serve his penance. She just wasn’t aware that he would attempt to murder her, her father, and Gabriel. Still, there was a much-pressing issue, greater than all these. And that’s the life and death situation of her father. She could have easily gone there if it wasn’t for Julian’s antics. Fortunately, the taxi came to
Evina’s pulse quickened as her eyes beheld him. It seemed that her blood rushed to every part of her muscles, making her blood pressure rise up at that moment.She recalled the incident that happened just a few hours ago. His brother attacked Gabriel and her in the parking lot. And he was also the reason why his father was on death’s bed right now.Evina couldn’t control herself. She rushed forward and almost slapped his face. If it weren’t for the nurses who stopped her, she must have hit him hard.“You and your shameless family. Why are you even here?” She couldn’t help but blurt out. He seemed to be working out something with the nurses when they entered the room.Evina was about to donate her blood to her father when she saw Julio, the least of all the people that she expected to see.“Hello again, Miss Chen. Don’t you want to know who saved your father’s life?” His l
Feeling a little great, Evina returned to the ICU to check on her father’s state. Her face had a little radiance to it, unlike her appearance when she first came to the hospital. She had just donated blood to her devastated father. She has also encountered a man whom she didn’t know would help them. However, she couldn’t help but worry about her father. His state was still uncertain. She could only cry out to God for a miracle. “He still hasn’t met his grandchildren from me yet,” she heaved out a long sigh as she bit her lips. Her tired and aching feet dragged until she reached the ICU. To her surprise, she saw the Chairman still, sitting in one of the chairs. It was as if he was waiting for the door to open up, so he would be updated on her father’s status. Evina stopped for a moment and drew in a deep breath as she watched the Chairman. He looked like he was a good friend who was deeply concerned about his friend’s condition.
Evina didn’t know how she made it back to the Chairman. Her lids were already swollen from crying.She was about to go to the Chapel of the hospital and pray all night for God’s extension of life for her father. But she wanted to say goodbye to the Chairman first, out of respect.“It seems that you’re finally reconciled with the Chairman, Dad. After twenty long years. And you still have a lot of time to spend your years together,” she mumbled to herself.“You can drink up all night, share your family stories under the night sky. Then we, your children, would scold you both and make you come to bed like you used to do to us when we were young,” Evina rattled on while laughing at her imagination like a crazy woman as she dragged her feet back to where she left the Chairman.To her surprise, she didn’t just see the Chairman with his guards. There were three other people with him.“Evina,” Mar
William felt like he had slept for a long time. His body was sore and he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.His face grimaced as he tried to recall what happened.He remembered going to Chairman Yang even with a gunshot wound. He didn’t want to fail him again.Fortunately, he reached there on time. But he couldn’t recall what happened after that. Everything was already blurred up.While he was contemplating the situation, he heard voices talking around him.“You should’ve bought grapes. You know, Dad doesn’t like peaches.”“There are no grapes in the store. Besides, I remember him eating this before.”“He just ate it because you forced him to. Don’t you remember?”He opened his eyes, so he could see them clearly. It’s Maria and Evina, quarreling over a basket of fruits.He lifted his hand. But as he did so, he noticed that there was an IV set attached
After three months... Evina clutched her waist as she felt fluttery butterflies circling inside it. She bit her lips to prevent them from trembling. She didn’t know that this event would be this nerve-wracking. She thought that since they’ve been together through hoops, this wouldn’t be a stressful event anymore. “Relax, you’re ruining your makeup,” Maria scolded her as she checked her reflection in the mirror. ‘Simon, remove your coat. That cake might spill on it. We don’t have a spare your size,” Maria turned to Simon, who was busy eating ice cream at that moment. Evina peeked at the window, her autumn eyes beholding the round tables with beautiful floral centerpieces. Some of the guests were already there. Gabriel must be in another room with his best man, Paul. Was he feeling the same way she was feeling right now? She felt her nervous sweat clinging to her white gown. She wanted to take it off, but her friends had a hard t
