Chapter 90 - Seeking Solace In Food

Ethan handed her the blueberry cheesecake and the bubble tea. She ate the blueberry cheesecake as if it was the cure to her aching heart. She smiled once she drank the bubble tea. Now, she understood Cindy. Food can be some sort of comfort to the heartbroken. However, she thought of the repercussions of seeking solace in food, gaining weight and the tendency to become obese. As a doctor she has to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She laughed inwardly, is she having a healthy lifestyle now that she was on an emotional roller coaster? She had to pull herself together in order to be sound and healthy. Ethan carefully paid attention to her. He had never seen that kind of smile plastered on her face just now. He had a haunch that there were ideas simmering in the back of her mind. "Let's have a shower," Ethan said, bringing her back to reality. "You go ahead, I'll have a shower after you," she said, smiling.The smile she's giving him bothered him so much. He sat beside her and asked, "

Chapter 91 - Accident

"Three days, Hazel and Cameron will come with me," Ethan answered, watching her reaction. "Okay," she gave her a smile, the kind of smile that makes him perplexed. Ethan wanted to ask what's with the smile but was afraid to ask it. "I'll have to call mama and baba," Moriah wiped the corner of her mouth and put down the napkin on the table. She left when Ethan nodded, giving her permission to leave. That night Ethan hadn't let go of her until he was sated. It was already dawn when they succumbed to slumber. Morning came, Moriah got up and found no trace of Ethan in their room. Checking the clock on the nightstand, it was already 8 in the morning. Moriah hurriedly had a shower and dressed for work. Moriah did her rounds and checked on his patients. At last the seemingly endless queue of patients came to an end. Moriah was getting ready to go home when Shaun arrived. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Moriah asked, she couldn't help but frown. "Unhappy to see me?" Shaun sounded hu

Chapter 92 - Stare Contest

Immediately, once they landed in Shanghai, Moriah phoned Dylan and asked for the address of the hospital. Moriah's tears kept pouring down as they were walking towards the ICU. She wept when she saw Dylan. "Dy," she sobbed and Dylan gathered her in his arms. "Everything will be alright," Dylan said, comforting her and himself as well. "What happened, why did they have an accident?" Moriah asked when her sobbing subsided. "They went to have dinner and when they were heading home, a dump truck collided with the car," Dylan shuddered while speaking. "The dump truck driver was intoxicated." Moriah went into the ICU. Her tears started to cascade down her face again. "Baba, please don't leave your princess," she said and held her father's hand. She cried in joy when her father's eyelid fluttered. "Baba, I love you." She crouched down and planted a kiss on Jianyu's hand. She couldn't kiss his forehead as it was covered with bandages. Afterwards, she went to her mother. "Mama, y

Chapter 93 - Insensitive

Five minutes later the doctor declared that Anastacia was dead. As if Jianyu had heard that his beloved wife was dead, he started to convulse. Moriah felt her heart sink into the abyss of grief, seeing her father shaking. "Baba, I know you love mama and can't live without her. Baba, don't worry about your princess. I'm alright," Moriah whispered, letting go of her dad. Right after she said those words, Jianyu breathed his last. The doctors did all they could do to revive him but failed. Moriah felt her world cave in, seeing both the lifeless bodies of her parents. She hugged Shaun and wept bitterly. Shaun stroked her back while he silently cried with her. He wasn't just grieving because of Moriah, but because Jianyu and Anastacia had been kind to him while he and Moriah were dating. Ethan practically exploded upon seeing Moriah and Shaun hugging. His jealousy got the better of him and had not noticed that Moriah was crying. He dragged Moriah away from Shaun. "What are you d

Chapter 94 - Alone

Ethan felt as if his chest was about to explode on the suffocating scene before his very eyes. He went outside to breathe some air and to calm the swirling emotions within. She had refused him when he offered her food to eat, but when Shaun appeared and gave her food, she gladly ate it. She was easily swayed by Shaun to eat. For the sake of Moriah's health, Ethan, though reluctant, allowed Shaun to take care of her meals during the wake and funeral. After the five days' wake, Moriah's parents were cremated and their remains were placed in the urn garden. Moriah decided to stay so she could visit Sophie and Lei in the hospital. Lei woke up from the coma the night before the funeral while Sophie woke up after the funeral. Her parents were no more and they are the closest friends of her parents. Moreover, they treated her like their own, so she had to show her care before leaving. "Shaun, thank you for everything. I'll stay here for another week, please go back to the States. I don't

Chapter 95 - Distant and Unreachable

Moriah woke up before sunup and tiptoed towards the bathroom, so she wouldn't wake Ethan up. And when she had taken a shower and donned her clothes, quietly she went out of the bedroom. Once she was out of the villa she breathed a sigh of relief and walked for a distance of a quarter mile before she spotted a cab and hailed it. When Ethan woke up, the first thing he did was to pull his wife into his embrace, but was startled when the bed was empty and cold. At once, he opened his eyes and got up from the bed simultaneously. He searched everywhere but could not find his wife. Worry was eating him up when Moriah didn't return his call. Moriah had her phone in silent mode as she didn't want to be disturbed. She was sitting on the grass in the urn garden where her parents' remains had been laid. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there. It seemed that the weather was sympathizing with her as the sky turned dark. Later, it started to drizzle. Moriah looked up and let her fac

Chapter 96 - We Have Lost Two Beautiful People

Ethan looked down at his wife. Once again their eyes met. "Let me stay here with you and go back to London together," Ethan said, not peeling away his gaze. "Alright," Moriah said briefly and nestled in his arms. A silence prevailed for a good minute, before Moriah spoke again. "Ethan, how did you know that I was in the urn garden?" Moriah asked. "I know you missed them so much. You talk to them on the phone everyday and suddenly you can't talk to them now," Ethan said while his hand caressed her jaw. "I'm really missing them so much" Moriah eyes were wet with tears, she was trying not to let them out of her rims but they stubbornly made their way out. Soon, Ethan's shirt was soaked with tears. "Ethan, will you promise that you won't leave me no matter what?" Moriah asked him in between her sobs. Ethan was afraid to make a promise to her. She was hurt when he made a promise to her and didn't keep it. However, at this crucial moment, he needed to give her an assurance that he'll

Chapter 97 - Beautiful Stress Reliever

Dylan bellowed his assent for the person to come in. Moriah and Ethan looked at each other before they ambled. "Moriah, dear," Sophie spread her arms as soon as Moriah appeared. Moriah hurriedly came close to Sophie and was engulfed by Sophie's arms. Moriah and Sophie cried together, both of them were filled with the sorrow of losing the people they hold dear to their heart. The three men who watched the two ladies weeping had three different ways of handling it. Lei stroked Sophie's back. His eyes red rimmed, trying to contain his tears. Dylan settled his elbows on his lap and cradled his head with his hand while looking down, tears dropping on the floor. Whereas, Ethan looked tough on the outside, but deep within he was heartbroken to see his wife's sorrow and agony. Moreover, he was as sorrowful as the people in the room about the passing of his in-laws and there was regret in his heart that they didn't see Moriah have a child because he wasn't ready. When the crying eventu

Chapter 98 - Anniversary

Tingling sensations blanketed Moriah's body from head to toe. "Ethan…" she murmured when Ethan began to nibble her lips. Ethan sat at the edge of the couch and guided Moriah to wrap her legs around his waist before he stood up and strode towards the bed. "Ethan, how did you have that stamina?" Moriah could not think of an answer where did he got such stamina being a busy person, handling an enormous business empire. Ethan grinned and got up from the bed. Moriah blushed at the sight of her husband, on display was his finely chiseled lean physique. How could this man walk like that without being embarrassed? As if it's a normal thing for him to do. She put on Ethan's shirt that was laying on the edge of the bed. Ethan is a very tall man and when she put his shirt on, she felt like she's a small child in his shirt. Ethan went into the walk-in closet and emerged after some time now wearing a slim fit t shirt and a jogger. Her husband was smoking hot. Moriah gulped her saliva while a

Chapter 99 - Petty

A whole week quickly went by in a blink. After spending time with the Wangs, Moriah's sorrow assuaged. And, with Ethan, who had considerably taken great lengths to comfort her, helped her feel a lot better. The farewell was far too emotional to the men watching them as Sophie teared up when Moriah was saying her goodbye and both women ended up sobbing as if the world was coming to an end. "Oh darling, you'll see her soon. We can visit her anytime," said Lei while he stroked Sophie's back to placate her. Dylan sighed as he himself felt saddened that Moriah had to go back to London. "Yes, dad is right, we can visit her anytime.""Alright, but I'm going to send her to the airport," Dylan and Lei simply shared a look, they better nod in agreement than to see her cry again. Dylan gestured for the butler to come near him and instructed him to let the chauffeur ready the limousine. "Moriah, dear, would you please call me if you have time to spare," Sophie said like a mother, giving Mori
