Despair hung thick in the air as everyone staked out a spot in the treatment room. Luna had pulled up a seat next to the bed, and her tiny hand clasped around Milo's big one, which had been poked through with needles. "I'm here to tell you that you're qualified to become my uncle, and you will be my Uncle Milo from now onward. Promise me you'll spoil me and go on 'Let's Go, Uncle!' with me." She said before she turned around and glanced at Arlo briefly. "Uncle Arlo has promised me, so now, it's your turn." Milo nodded weakly. Over the course of a few days, he'd lost a significant amount of weight, and there was a green tinge to his skin. The disease was at its worst now, and the gunshot wound that Milo had sustained previously was now infected. It had only been a couple of days, but it was as though a skyscraper had come crashing down without warning, and no one saw it coming. "I'll go on the show with you when I recover." Milo promised in a labored voice. He sounded as if he b
Meanwhile, Luna decided to call out for Zis sweetly. "Forefather!" "Hello, little one." Zis responded affectionately while holding her little hand. Who could have thought that he and Damian would end up as in laws? His granddaughter was married to Damian's son, which meant he was now Luna's great grandfather. He mused at the fact that Nathan was his grandson in law. Finally, his idol had become an official part of his family, this was too good to be true. Milo's disease had brought this family together for the first time, but unfortunately, Connie and Jerome had made themselves scarce for the next couple of days. After all, saving Milo was their first priority. Hilda still hadn't managed to get a word in with Jerome, even on the day when she and Nathan were about to return to Taadi. Having returned to Taadi City, Hilda was furious when she saw that Teddy was still around. She was about to give the man a piece of her mind when shocking news arrived. "What? Elizabeth found out t
After the news of Jeans Cryobank swapping their clients' genetic samples had broken out all over Taadi, it caused an outrage overseas. Many clients came forward to withdraw their genetic samples, and Herman, in turn, had managed to rouse up a couple of scapegoats. Jeans Group issued an official apology and explained that the employees had swapped the genetic samples by mistake. As such, they were more than willing to compensate the clients and would close down the cryobank for good. After all, the cryobank hadn't been making a large profit, and it hadn't been the main source of revenue for Jeans Group. Upon seeing how things had panned out, Herman went along with the flow and investigated the matter. He then 'stumbled upon' the discovery that the Bowen twins weren't really Elizabeth's biological children, they'd been conceived out of swapped samples. He figured Elizabeth would surely be furious if she were to find out about this! As expected, when she heard the news that her kids
The twins had also gained a real mother along the way, and Elizabeth was now but a distant memory. Their success last night was mostly due to their years of intricate planning and scheming, but with Connie's aid, they managed to see their plan through to the end much earlier than expected. Now that they had triumphantly taken over Smith Group, there was nothing much Elizabeth could do about it for now. The spies she'd planted in both the conglomerate and the family had been eradicated by Jerome over the years. Some had switched over to his side, and countless others were killed off. "What a grand usurpation! All of you did so well, but aren't you worried that Elizabeth might file a lawsuit against you?" Hilda asked now in bemusement as she lounged lazily in bed, unwilling to get up to start the day. Arlo appeared to be busy on the other end. After a pause, he chortled as he answered Hilda, "Given the number of men she has, do you really think she'd turn to the law for help?" As
At the end of the day, both Elizabeth and Connie's family had made a fool out of Teddy! "How dare you look at me like that!" Hilda snapped icily when she noticed Teddy glaring at her. "You colluded with Elizabeth and plotted against my mother, and now you're acting up because my parents decided to go against you? You have some nerve!" She'd only just finished her sentence when the Jordan's arrived at the house. They were hostile as they said, "Teddy, our families go way back, but we are utterly disappointed with you and what you've done. Please leave as soon as possible." They had only just found out today that the kid Teddy had brought over to the company the other day was not Connie's biological son at all. Everyone in the Jordan Group was this close to getting duped by him. But more to the point, the Jordan's were overjoyed to find out that Connie had two new additions to her family. Teddy's presence here would only be a hindrance, and they wanted nothing more but to throw h
Teddy was confined in a room. Opposite him was a window, and the view outside showed that it was already night time. It was extremely quiet around, so he figured that they were in a remote place. Amidst the darkness outside the open window stood a man. Although he could not clearly see, he knew that that man was Klaus. He saw that there were plenty of flammable items in the room, and there was a person pouring gasoline around him, while Klaus was standing outside the window watching everything. At that instant, he knew that his time was up, and he had nowhere to escape. Ever since the beginning, Connie had joined forces with Klaus to take him down. Him, on the other hand, had held on to his fantasy about Connie, thinking that a child could keep her with him, but he ended up falling into their trap. He stopped struggling and calmly asked Klaus, who was standing outside the window, "Are you going to burn me to death, just like how I burned your parents and family to death?" Stan
The television, which was left on, suddenly played the variety show that Luna had participated in, and her sweet voice entered through the cupboard into his ears. Klaus's body was curled up into a ball, a posture that indicated that he was in extreme anxiety and fear, but he gradually relaxed upon hearing Luna's singing. "The fresh flowers have once told me how you passed by, the ground knows every corner of your heart...." Hearing her melodious voice, his mind slowly calmed down, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his face as he leaned against the cupboard. She was just like an angel. The devil, which was hidden in the abyss, heard the singing of an angel from the heavens. The angel's sacred light shone into the bottomless sinful abyss, allowing the devil to capture a shred of light and keep it in his heart with just a stretch of his hand. Even if he had fallen into the bottomless hell of sin, he still remembered that he was once an angel, who had once sung in heaven. It wa
Klaus followed them to the hospital as well. Although Nathan did not know what was happening, he felt a sense of panic surging through him. What's wrong with pumpkin this time? Hilda was even more terrified. Connie had dragged her all the way to the hospital, almost not allowing her feet to even touch the ground. She was still in her pajamas when she arrived at the hospital. Nathan gave her a down jacket to keep herself warm, so she completed all the check ups in his clothes. It was late at night. The family sat in the lounge in the hospital to wait for the result, and Hilda, who was wearing Nathan's clothes, was zoning out. What exactly is going on? She had no idea, and neither did Nathan. Meanwhile, Klaus, the only person who knew exactly what was going on sat at one side without saying anything, while Connie paced back and forth in fluster, as if there was fire burning under her feet. Anthony was sitting beside Klaus. He was not supposed to be on duty today, but upon hearing t
