21. His Intentions

I'm not even surprised.One of his favorite hobbies is keeping tabs on me.Sometimes, I wonder if he's the adult while I'm the kid who needs to be watched over always.I wonder where he got this overprotective habit from.“So are you coming home now?” He went on in a sullen voice. “Mom, I'll be waiting.”But I can't go home yet.My schedule is clear for the day, however, an emergency can occur at any moment. I never leave the hospital premises until the day is over. “Come on, Dave. People's lives are important. If Mommy isn't there to save them, wouldn't that be bad?”From the other end, I could hear his soft sighs. “So you're not gonna come home, Mommy?”“Of course, I'll be home!” I smiled. “And I promise to make you the best dinner ever!”“Oh, alright.” The boy didn't sound enthusiastic though.He went silent.I was about to check if the call had disconnected then his voice sounded again. “Uncle Ethan promised to take me skiing next weekend. Tell him not to forget.”“I will, Baby.

22. A New Chairman 

…Olivia's POV When I returned home that night, the lights were still on.I frowned in confusion, glancing at my wristwatch.Dave should be asleep by now. Maybe the Nanny forgot to turn his room's light off as it shone through the window on the second floor.I entered the building and made my way upstairs, the guilt inside me increasing as I remembered my promise.“Mommy doesn't like me, does she?”I came to a halt in the hallway just outside his room, listening to his conversation with the Nanny. “Dave, that's not true. Your Mom works hard to buy you fancy toys and enroll you in the best school.”“But she broke her promise,” Dave grumbled in his little voice.I bet he wasn't crying.He rarely cried-But, what if-“Your Mom would have returned to cook you dinner as she promised, Dave. Maybe an emergency came up at the hospital,” The Nanny explained.Her words weren't a lie.A while ago, I was ready to leave the hospital when a patient was brought to the emergency room.He'd been att

23. Things Getting Out of Hand

…Los Angeles.Theo's POV I crumpled the report in my hands and tossed it in the trash, a sense of hopelessness overwhelming me.I've exhausted all emotions, from anger to hate to fear, and then guilt.For five years, I've been chasing after the same thing. To know her whereabouts.However, every search leads to a dead end. It's as if she never existed. Is she still alive or dead?The same question troubled me always, giving me countless sleepless nights.When I found that CT Scan report in Olivia's apartment five years ago, a part of my heart became troubled.I couldn't help but feel guilty. I couldn't help but feel responsible for whatever happened to her.And I searched for her everywhere, but… even her parents didn't know her whereabouts.It's as if everyone has conspired to keep her whereabouts a secret.Is that even possible?I've employed the best authorities to search for her. I'd spent more than needed, but yet, the search always turned out futile- which led to only one c

24. His Biggest Mistake

Dr. Lawton.Why is this my first time hearing his name?And why is the assistant just telling me now?I threw him a deadly look, and he scratched his head and coughed in embarrassment.“Actually, I didn't mean to hide this from you, Sir. I've been trying my best to reach out to Dr. Lawton for the past few months, but despite pulling all strings, I couldn't get access to him. His schedule is packed and the hospital he works at has signed a contract, so-”It would be impossible for outside sources to invite him.Even the government couldn't do anything unless with that hospital’s approval.“Where is the hospital located?” I asked. “It's in Switzerland, Mr. Wellington. But you know-”Transporting my grandfather there is impossible.The Doctors have advised against it as it can worsen his condition.I heaved out a helpless sigh, and after a while, I looked up. “Secure the next flight ticket to Switzerland. I'll go there myself.”I'll do whatever it takes to bring that Doctor here even if

25. Giving Her Trouble 

…Jessica's POVWhen he told me to go home, I thought he was joking until I looked at the expression on his face.Theo was angry and annoyed. I would think his anger was directed towards me when I hadn't said anything wrong, but he'd been like this recently.In fact, his mood was worsening day by day. He's no longer the same man who would avoid anything that could hurt me.Day by day, I watch him become a completely different person.No way!I can't let this continue.I've worked hard to keep his mother and sister by my side. I've done everything to be who I am today. To make myself more popular and influential, I've not only become a model with several high-end endorsements but also ventured into movies and TV shows.Many male actors in the entertainment industry regard me as a goddess. But everyone knows I'm Theo's girlfriend. Many of my endorsements and resources come from the Wellington family, which shows how strong our relationship is.I have no interest in actors; my ambitio

26. Adjusting Her Work Schedule 

…Geneva, Switzerland. Olivia's POV.When I spoke to Ethan about it, I'd already anticipated his reaction.Ethan shook his head rapidly. I'd never seen him disagree with something so fast. “Olivia, that's dangerous. I thought you wanted to spend the rest of your life here.”Going back to the U.S. must be dangerous. The chances of meeting Theo are high as I'm going back specifically for Grandpa's sake. However, if I tread carefully and my plan works out, even Grandpa Victor won't know that I came.The old man has done a lot for me. The least I can do is not watch him die while I have the ability to save him.“Ethan, I have to go,” I told him. “This is my expertise, isn't it?”“But there are other doctors in this field.” He stared at me helplessly. “You don't have to risk exposing yourself, Olivia. You've been living a peaceful life here, and what if he finds out?”Theo will never find out. At least not about my child. “However, those doctors aren't willing to take up Grandpa’s case

27. Stole Her Breath 

The Next Day. Our flight was going to depart early so I could only kiss Dave goodbye while he was still asleep. But I squeezed time to prepare his favorite breakfast and put it inside the food warmer. Sitting inside the plane as it flew into the sky, I gazed at the city below. The houses became like ants while the trees stood like grasses.Finally… After five years, I'm leaving this city for the first time.Why do I feel anxious? I've already prepared myself mentally for this journey.Nothing can go wrong. I felt Ethan's palm on mine, giving it a gentle squeeze. It's as if he can sense my anxiety. “If you don't control your emotions now, how's it gonna be when we arrive in L.A. Will you be able to perform the operation?”His words make sense.I need to stay calm. The hospital is to ensure that my identity is kept a secret. Even the staff aren't allowed to say a thing.My mind wandered to Dave. I'm sure he'll be alright. After the fourteen-hour flight, we're supposed to head to

28. Something Seemed Off

…Geneva, Switzerland.Theo's POV This isn't my first time stepping into a foreign city. Besides, I've been here twice for a business trip. If I knew the famous mysterious Dr. Lawton lived here, wouldn't I have seized the opportunity during one of those business trips?I have nobody to blame but my assistant who thought it's better to reveal the news when it's almost too late.I just got a call from one of the Nurses at the hospital in L.A. that Grandpa's condition has worsened.Now there's no time to lose. It's either I find Dr. Lawton this evening or the dreaded event might occur.“Mr. Wellington, the weather is bad. According to the weather report, there's an upcoming blizzard. Maybe we should lodge in one of the hotels.”As I sat in the backseat of the car that picked us up from the airport, I listened to the assistant’s explanation.Glancing outside the window, I frowned. The atmosphere was clear. There wasn't any sign of bad weather.“The weather report, Sir-” The assistant e

29. Stranded!

The hallway was indeed empty.It's normal that the visiting hours should be over by this time.However, does that concern us?We're here for a special appointment and not to visit any patients.Why am I considering a little boy's words?“Hey, Dave… Remember no talking to strangers,” The Nanny said in a hushed tone. “Let's go home.”But the little boy didn't move.He stared at me and then he glanced at the assistant before returning his gaze to me. “Mister, didn't you hear? Everyone is celebrating the new year. You won't find anybody inside the hospital now.”The new year?Well, that's not true.“The new year was last month,” I stared at him.“My bad.” The boy shrugged. “I mean the hospital’s anniversary is being celebrated today.”Why didn't the hospital director tell me that? Is it true?“That's enough, Dave…” The Nanny looked flustered and she nudged him to move. “Mister, we're so sorry. Dave is in a bad mood, please don't mind him.”The boy pursed his lips, threw me what seemed l

30. Take Him To Her 

Hearing the boy's request, I exchanged glances with my assistant.“You don't have to go if you don't want to,” He went on. “But you don't look like someone who would like to sleep on these streets.”“Dave, stop it!” The Nanny exclaimed, rushing forward to grab the boy's hand. “Mister, I'm so sorry. Please ignore him!”She apologized profusely. Yet, my attention wasn't on the Nanny.It was on the boy whose presence put me at ease somehow.Is it because I find his features familiar? “Where is your home?” I rose to my feet, wiping the snowflakes off my pants.The boy pointed to a tall apartment building miles away. “It's in that building. It's not very far, Mister.”“Mm. Let's go.”A little boy couldn't possibly do me any harm. The Nanny looked hesitant and hopeless as well. She kept on signaling the boy with her eyes who wasn't looking at her.“Mr. Wellington…” The assistant looked as if he also wanted to protest,But a single glance from me had him shutting his mouth.I followed the
