Kristen smiled in relief, the blood sample safely in her pocket.She turned to the three men in the room, who were still huddling around Alex, discussing in hushed tones.“I will be leaving now,” she announced, patting Raz's back.“Won't you wait for the boss to wake up?” Ikaris asked, turning to her.“There's no need for that. He's already out of danger. I'm confident about it. Besides, I abandoned a patient's surgery to hurry here. Her case is a very difficult one. I need to be there as soon as possible, let's see if she can make it out alive,” Kristen explained with a calm smile, stylishly dismissing them.“Thanks for rushing here immediately you were called. I was just agitated, that's why I took it out on you. Thank you,” Ikaris whispered, trying to indirectly apologize to her because he yelled at her when she showed up late.Kristen immediately got the message and nodded with a smile.“I only did my duty, I don't adore him any less than you guys. He might be harsh and cold, but

Kristen immediately twisted Aridan's arms, sending a vicious kick to his belly.He floated midair before setting down on his feet.“I have been handling you with kid gloves like the baby you are, but you mistook my gentility for weakness. If the cobra doesn't bare its fangs, little children will mistake it for a rope and use it to tie their firewood. You little piece of shit, don't dare me, or I will leave your corpse for Alex before leaving,” she roared angrily, staring at them.“Kristen, we were settling this amicably, there was no need to get physical. What's wrong with you? Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill? You're the elder here, what's wrong with indulging him a bit?” Ikaris asked impatiently.“Did he consider the fact that I was his elder before humiliating me? Stop taking sides and playing favorites, it doesn't suit you!” She roared angrily, kicking Ikaris.Ikaris immediately blocked it with his palms, her pointed stilettos leaving an imprint on his palm.“Kriste

Immediately the helicopter landed in the villa, Alex saw Ariella riding a pink bike, hurrying towards the helipad.He smiled and got down, waiting for her to get closer."Daddy!" She shouted, abandoning her bicycle to jump into his arms."How have you been?" He whispered, caressing her hair as he walked fast into the house, noticing that she had added weight in just a few weeks of his absence. She looks chubbier, a little bit taller with a rosy skin, her hair was also neatly braided, complementing her designer children's clothes.He immediately felt sorry that she had to starve for so long, she obviously loves good food, the evidence was showing clearly on her body.Alex quickly set her down on the patio."Daddy is in a hurry, eh? Brother Aridan will give you what daddy ordered for you and your brother," he quickly said, disappearing through the back gardens.Immediately he entered the basement, his eyes went to his son who was still on life support equipments under the life-preservin

"Madam, I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to leave with the boss's children," Raz said humbly, barring Eleanor's way."Excuse me? They're my children, not his. I carried them for nine months, gave birth to them, cared for them and loved them all these while. How dare you tell me what to and what not to do with my kids?" Eleanor roared back."Madam, please, don't be irrational. The boss needs them too. The house feels lonely without them. When you take them away, it will be cold and uneventful. It's not just us being selfish by wanting to keep them around, but it's obvious they're happy here. Little Ariel woke up just three days ago and was placed on very expensive and intensive care. That's the only reason he's able to run around happily, eat heartily, play his video games and ride his bikes. Can't you see it's more convenient for them here where they have all they need? The boss will be very sad if you take them away. Not just that, Ariel has not recovered totally, he's still being m

Aridan walked down with the kids, carrying two heavy bags.Soon Mac and his assistant walked out, carrying two heavy cartons containing food supplies as well. "They don't need all that!" Eleanor whispered, feeling angry that Alex was packing food as if he was afraid she will not be able to feed them without his help."They already brought it out, sending them back will be too bothersome. One of them can escort you to carry it up to your house, okay? It's a waste. We don't eat most of that, it was bought for the kids. They should just take it along instead of being wasted here," Alex quickly said, fearing another argument.But to his greatest surprise, she nodded in agreement. The truth was that she was neck deep in debt and was worried about feeding the kids especially when their appetite had enlarged to a frightening level. So Alex's stock of food items, enough to last them two months if used sparingly, was a welcome development.Mac gave two paper bags containing the twins favorite
