*****"Jerry, why aren't you saying anything!?" Selena exclaimed, her frustration evident as she watched Jerry pacing back and forth in the hall.After their return from the hospital, neither of them had even taken a sip of water, the tension hanging heavy in the air like a suffocating blanket."What do you want me to say? I'm in your shoes right now, and we're stuck in this mess with no way to stop Richard," Jerry exclaimed, frustration dripping from every word as if he begrudged admitting that Richard had seemingly developed feelings for Ana.Selena sighed heavily, her expression mirroring Jerry's frustration. "I know, I know," she replied, her voice tinged with resignation. "But we can't just sit back and let this happen. We've got to find a way to deal with this before it spirals out of control."With a determined glint in his eye, Jerry nodded in agreement, his mind already racing with ideas on how to navigate the precarious situation they found themselves in. "We can't kill her
******The man looked at Sonia coldly but did not refute her, which made Sonia believe he was ready to stop the bleeding from his hand, which was already bandaged. Though she did not have sympathy for him, she feared blood.Sonia rose and made her way to her room before retrieving the medicine box. She then sat back, a little closer to the man. Though her heart was pounding in fear, she couldn't tend to his hand in the same spot where she had sat earlier."Your hand!" Sonia exclaimed, not looking towards the man, as her quivering hand brought out the bandage from the box, in a moment of urgency.The hand stretched out, accompanied by a strong aura that Sonia keenly sensed. She took a silent breath and delicately unwrapped the stained bandage from his hand, ensuring her movements were gentle to avoid causing him any pain."why not you are as beautiful as your sister?" the man displeasingly said.Sonia's hand froze holding the bandage, as a scowl appeared on her forehead. This man not on
*****"Why are you standing there? Come inside!" Richard's grandmother exclaimed, setting down the cards she held. Helena glanced towards the door and her face lit up with a wide smile upon seeing Ana. With warmth in her heart, Ana made her way over to Helena, and they embraced each other tightly. Ana never imagined she would have the chance to see Helena again, and yet here she was, feeling overwhelmed with emotion at the unexpected reunion."You've become so beautiful," Ana remarked as she broke away from the hug."You're a doctor now!" Helena exclaimed with a happy grin, her eyes shining with pride at seeing Ana as a doctor. "Yes," Ana laughed, gently cupping Helena's cheeks in her hands."Well, don't forget about me, girls. I'm the old one here and I need a bit more attention," Richard's grandmother interjected with a playful grin, noticing how her great daughter-in-law and granddaughter were so engrossed in each other, completely ignoring her presence."You've already checked ou
*****As they all sat at the dinner table, Ana was surprisingly quiet. Richard momentarily stole glimpses of his wife; his inner self smirked because he knew what was troubling Ana."Would you like me to peel the prawns?" Richard inquired, a subtle glimmer shining in his eyes.Ana's hand, poised delicately with the spoon, hesitated over her plate as she cast a knowing glance at Richard, her lips parting to utter, "I am fine." Meanwhile, the watchful gazes of Richard's grandmother and Helena lingered upon them. Despite only eating some protein soup, Richard's grandmother insisted on remaining at the table with them."Ana, you shouldn't deny your husband's help, something some wives truly crave all their lives. You can take me as an example; his grandfather never cooked a single dish for me," Richard's grandmother remarked with a chuckle, as she gracefully leaned back in her chair."I do not want it to become a habit," Ana replied, her thoughts resounding within her. She truly feared th
*****Later that night, George arrived to pick up Grandmother and Helena, leaving the house with only Richard and Ana. Ana had made up her mind to retreat to another room for the night. However, as she began to gather her belongings to leave, Richard blocked her path, questioning, "Where are you going?""To sleep in another room. Since there are plenty of rooms in the house, why can't we use them?" Ana retorted, her lips twisting with determination. She remained adamant about not staying in the same room with him, no matter how much he might try to persuade her otherwise."Are you kidding? Sleeping with me won't bother your sleep!" Richard retorted, his tone laced with a palpable sense of frustration at Ana's steadfast insistence on sleeping separately."No, I love having my own space; I've been living alone for many years," Ana asserted, her tone carrying a sense of fondness for the solitude she had grown accustomed to."It's different now because you have a husband who needs you in
****As the morning arrived, Ana groaned in her sleep before opening her eyes. As soon as she recognized the new environment, she moved her head sharply at her side to find Richard, but he was not there. Ana unintentionally breathed while resting her cheek on the cushion next to her. The pillow smelled like Richard's, which meant he slept next to her all night, but where he had gone! Ana sat up and gathered all her hair into a bun when she noticed a piece of paper on the lamp table, her brows rose in question. She grabbed it and began reading, "I will be out of town for today so there will be a maid in the house to take care of you. Don't meet men in my absence or I will snatch their life out of their body." Ana rolled her eyes and folded the paper again, but this time she tucked it beneath her pillow before going to the restroom.After twenty minutes, Ana emerged from her room and walked to the kitchen, where she met the maid who Richard had hired before leaving the home. "Madam,
*****"Emilia," Jerry arrived to see Emilia in her ward, where she was alone at the moment and eating fruit sliced into pieces in a box."Uncle Jerry, please come in!" Emilia replied with a sweet grin, "Mom and Dad just departed for home." Jerry moved over to the bed before taking a chair to sit on, his gaze drawn to Emilia, who appeared to be at ease as if she was not worried about Richard."I can sense Uncle Jerry trying to figure out how I am so casual rather than throwing a tantrum or exposing my tears," Emilia added, prodding a slice of watermelon with her fork before placing it in her mouth while she smiled at Jerry."What? No, I am not!" Jerry hesitated since he did not think Emilia could able to read his thoughts."It's fine, Uncle Jerry, I understand. This is how people used to know me, but I do not want to be that Emilia anymore since I know what I did and how I hurt my parents, the only ones who love me the most in this world," Emilia stated, lowering the box to her lap wi
******"Doctor Anastasia, we absolutely agree with your views, but we are obligated to accept that the handwriting on the prescription is yours," another doctor kindly stated."I grasp the gravity of the situation, which is precisely why I implore all of you to grant me a mere twenty-four hours. Within this brief span, I am determined to unearth evidence of deliberate malfeasance," Ana replied with a profound sense of determination."Okay, as long as the CEO is not engaged in this subject, we can do it for you!" the same doctor promised Ana. "Alright, thank you!" Ana replied and hung up the call. "I do not see why we are aiding her. We don't know her well. She is very young, and I can see that her popularity stems primarily from her appearance. There is nothing extraordinary," the previous doctor, who had hostility toward Ana spoke up with a strong stubbornness that Ana was not a miracle doctor."I strongly disagree with your views, Dr. Perryson. If you admit to not knowing her well
