With Ben by his side, they went out of the elevator. With the head caps hiding their faces they walk towards the nurse's station nearby.
He walks slowly passing by every room with small clear glass on every door. Partly seeing the inside, he would quickly peek, hoping to see a familiar figure before they would reach the nurse's station. He wants to avoid asking as not to reveal his presence inside the facility. His slow steps halted at one of the doors with his eyes fixed at the bed. Blinking and shaking his head several times to clear his vision, he earnestly stared at the figure inside. Ben remained behind him while cautiously looking around.Certain of what he intended to do, he quickly went inside the unlocked door, Ben followed behind after ensuring no one saw them enter. The steady beeping of the machine welcomed them but his eyes were fixed at the same color of eyes he has, staring back at him.Remained on the door to guard, Ben checked thWatching the two hugging figures until they parted, Lexie stayed frozen on her feet."Mama!" Lucy raves upon noticing her at the door."Mama, papa has found his way to us. He is no longer lost in the crowd" Lucy continues and his words made her snap to the present.Blushing from the lame excuse she gave to her son, she cautiously glances at Lucien who is earnestly staring at her with his smug face. Though he looks like a mess with his tearful eyes."Are you happy, mama? Papa is here now. He made it" Lucy looks so ecstatic while his mother is grimacing from embarrassment. Lucien Wright's intense gaze is adding to her anxiousness."Of course, my love. I'm glad papa made it through the crowd" she mumbles as she fights the humiliation she feels."I told you, Papa will make it. I don't need to find him, he finds us first" Lucy continues to rave while Lucien tries to hold his small hands in his."And mommy Carla was right, I look like papa. Have you noti
"I won't curtail Lucy's right to be your son. He deserves it" her soft voice rang amid their sobs and sniffles.With what she said, his shoulders shook from his sobs. He bent to place a kiss on Lucy's small hand, cupping it inside his hands. Zia's words relieved him though he was bent on doing what he think would be best for his son despite her possible resistance."You will be alright my brave boy...papa is here..." he whispers while he showers his small hand with tender kisses.Silence rules as they gave themselves time to compose their emotions. It's a painful yet amazing moment and Lucien was overwhelmed by the chance he was given.Knowing Lucy is the greatest surprise in his life. After Zia had left, having an heir become a dim predicament for him, even with Ellen around."When will he have his surgery?" he asks after a long while that they have been silent."He will still undergo some tests and depending on the availability of the spec
"Good morning Director Lee, pardon me for calling this early. I want to talk to you regarding some urgent matter. I am here at Ace Hospital and I want to discuss the capacity of the hospital's facility to conduct pediatric heart surgery. I will be waiting for you in an hour. See you Director"Even before the break of dawn, Lucien had already made several phone calls, which is what Lexie woke up to."Contact Dr. Miles and tell her I want her team not later than tomorrow" another call ended without the response from the other line."What are you doing in this holy hour?" with a hoarse voice from sleep, Lexie asks. She was disturbed by his voice despite it being low."Have you slept?" she added before he could answer."I had a nap..." he casually replies after pressing a kiss on her forehead. If Lexie was surprised, she tried to act cool upon seeing him go back to being busy with his phone."How's your sleep?" he asks without turning to l
Before the strike of noon, Lucy was transferred to a suite room and his face has never dimmed since then."Mama, this is awesome...they have a huge television. This is my room?" Lucy was gawking at everything around him. His room is of massive size with a wide television in front of the bed. Aside from his bed with complete medical apparatus, there is another one near it, intended for family members. The entire place even the bathroom screams luxury.Looking around, it's more of a hotel suite than a hospital room. Outside of the ensuite were the receiving area and an eight sitter dining with a huge refrigerator and some basic kitchen appliances and utensils."Yes, baby love. Papa prepared this room for you..." though still in awe of the changes since early in the morning, Lexie casually explains to her son."Papa is rich?" his eyes were sparkling with astonishment as he looks around.Lost of what to tell her son, she becomes quiet."Are we rich now, mam
Lexie was startled when a group of people went inside the room following Lucien."Papa!" Lucy raves upon seeing his father but was suddenly becomes timid, noticing the other's presence.The three people were all earnestly staring at the boy who tries to hide his face by lowering his head."Hello, buddy...how are you?" Lucien tenderly asks as he cups the boy's face to look at him."I'm great, Papa..." he whispers as he spares nervous glances at the visitors.Lexie, like her son, was anxious about the unexpected visit of the Wright family. She knew it would come but not this soon. After sharing polite smiles and nods the three focus their undivided attention on the boy who is now hugging his father's neck."I want you to meet some people...they are Papa's parents and sister" Lucien carefully told his son who is nervous around his visitors."Papa..." he whispers anxiously, burying his face to his father's chest."It's fine, buddy. The
"Papa...take care of mama please..." Lucy whispers while he was prepared to be brought for surgery."Of course, buddy. Papa will take care of mama while you are inside. But you have to be strong, Papa and mama will be waiting for you. If Mama cries long, Papa can't make her stop but you, buddy" Lucien assures him, holding his small hand."I am strong, Papa. But my heart is not strong. I'm happy you found us. Mama will not be alone anymore. Mama if papa said not to cry, you have to listen" he turned to his mother with a weak smile."I was never alone, baby love. I have you. You are mama's life. And you must be stronger this time because papa will be waiting to play with you. Can you do that, my love? Mama and Papa will be waiting for you, we will go to the park, right?" anxiousness and panic were consuming her as the time nears Lucy's surgery."I will mama...thank you for always taking good care of me. Even if it's difficult, even if you no longer have money
Lexie went inside the elegant room for her unexpected meeting. Yesterday she had the surprise of her life. She received a call from a design company asking her for a further discussion about her submitted designs. Which she readily accepted. She has been submitting her portfolio to different design companies and she was delighted to get feedback today. And it's not just any company, it's the leading brand in the market.After Lucy's first surgery, she had so much time to make fresh designs and Dom had encouraged her to send them to different companies, which she did. She thought it was already hopeless for her designs to be noticed after several months of waiting. But today proves she made the right choice to gamble her chance in the design world.Thankfully, Carla and Bill have yet to go back home. She ask them to look after Lucy while she is away, which they delightedly accepted.Lucy has been recovering quite fast than his doctor's prognosis after
Still, in a daze, Lexie went back to the hospital just before dinner time. After their meeting, she has already taken part in the planning and thankfully, she brought her iPad where she had several designs she had already finished aside from the ones she submitted.They have done a lot earlier. And with Emily and Jason's supervision, she learned a lot. Tomorrow she will be back for the finalization of the already approved designs. She will be choosing the fabric and all its accessories. Which will be forwarded for production. She can't believe, soon she will see her design materialize.They are in a hurry for the three weeks time frame before the launch. And the pressure is mostly on her as the added designer. Later she plans to add some intricate details to the remaining designs she has.It's quite tiring but at the same time satisfying. It has been her dream to make her designs into reality. For someone to wear them. And she will make sure she will nail
