"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 lBefore 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
Enjoying his lips against her burning skin, she explores his toned muscles as she used to do back then. Lucien is a demigod. His tan skin, his slightly masculine athletic physique, his towering height, his dominant aura, the powerful contour of his face making him look fierce, the enigma surrounding his mere presence, and not to mention the billions of dollars net worth. He is a whole package, beyond any woman's dream. And she has him now, craving for her body. For how long, she doesn't know. And she doesn't want to entertain insignificant thoughts at this time. She will enjoy him as he will enjoy her.Her palms trail down, fervently touching his washboard abs she missed so much. Her hands find every curve and crevice of his perfectly toned body."Ahhh...missed your touch so much... Touch me more, Zia" he panted with his ragged breaths. His kisses were trailing down her neck down to her prominent collar bone until he reaches her mounts."Ahhhn..." her moan
After the steamy encounter, they had last night, Lexie becomes more comfortable around him. She made sure not to elude whenever he initiated to touch her.Thankfully, Lucy is still peacefully asleep when they went out of the bathroom. And had their late dinner in comfortable silence.With three weeks timetable, she becomes busy with the team of Silhouettes Designs. She has no time to dally. She had visited the production site to choose the fabrics for her every design, which she had so much fun with. Aside from the clothes she designed, she also included a few bags as a customized accessories for her collection.She even proposed contracting Dom for one of the designs of her bag. A customized hand-painted handbag.Submitting her proposal to Eve and the president, she hopes it will be approved. She would love to showcase Dom's arts in her creations.They were in the middle of checking the swatches for the designs when a report on the televis
After two weeks of being confined in a luxurious hospital suite, Lucy is ready to go home, stronger and healed.The night conceals their departure as Lucien had prepared a private helicopter to ferry them from the hospital to his penthouse. The team of Lucy's doctors brought him to the rooftop of the hospital with Lucien and Lexie tailing behind.Dom has also sent his parents back to the island but he will be back to fulfill his prior engagements."It's time to go home, sir Lucy. Be well and be healthy" the doctors exclaim in glee as they bid the boy goodbye."Thank you so much for taking good care of me!" his smile is as bright as the sun amid the darkness around. He fervently waves at all his doctors and hospital staff before the door closes."This is magnificent, Papa...! We are rich, mama? We could ride a helicopter" he raves while excitedly looking around the sparkling night lights of the whole city."Everything for my brave
