As Gabriel silently accepted Mark's apology, his expression remained inscrutable, betraying nothing of the tumult of emotions raging within him. But he couldn't resist making a joke of him and leaned forward, muttering, “Now, I hope you know your place, dear superior.” His tone was sarcastic, fueling Mark's rage.There was no better pain for a once capable man than not being able to exercise control again and the situation was that of Mark's. He couldn't do anything even if he badly wanted to slap Gabriel. “Yes," Mark forced himself to admit after receiving a glare from the general manager and he bowed. As Mark slunk away, visibly chastened by the public confrontation and humiliation, Gabriel couldn't help but feel a sense of quiet satisfaction wash over him. Though he had lost his job, he had not lost his dignity, and that brought him a measure of inner peace.“Now, let's see who's going to be calling the shots, Mark," he whispered to himself, smirking. Meanwhile, as Mark retreate

Back at the Wellington Group company, Aliyah glanced around the opulent foyer, her expression growing increasingly somber. "Mother, perhaps we should consider leaving," she suggested quietly, her tone tinged with resignation.Nora shook her head, her resolve unwavering. "No, we must wait for Fredrick. He went to speak on our behalf, and we owe it to him to stay," she insisted, her voice laced with determination.Aliyah sighed, her concern evident in her eyes. "But what if he can't successfully sway them ?" she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.Nora's gaze hardened, her jaw set in determination. "Then we will cross that bridge when we come to it," she replied resolutely. "But for now, we wait.”"I can't blindly wait here with you, Mother. I just can't wait patiently for a negative result.”Nora's patience waned as she listened to Aliyah's pessimistic remarks. "Aliyah, we need to remain hopeful. Fredrick wouldn't have gone to bat for us if he didn't believe there was a chance,"

Without wasting time, Gabriel hung up and hurried back to his daughter's ward, his mind racing with worry. Upon his arrival, he found Camella sitting beside their daughter's bed, her face etched with fear and despair.The doctor's words hung heavy in the air as Camella's worried gaze darted between him and Gabriel. "We need to find a bone marrow donor for her," he explained gently, his tone compassionate yet firm. "I will provide you with information on how to proceed, but time is of the essence."Camella's heart clenched with fear as she listened, her mind racing with a whirlwind of anxious thoughts. "But what if we can't find a donor in time?" she fretted, her voice quivering with uncertainty. "What if...?"Gabriel reached out and gently squeezed her hand, offering her a reassuring smile despite the turmoil he could see churning inside her. "We will take it one step at a time, Camella," he said softly, his voice laced with determination. "We will follow the doctor's advice and explor

Coincidentally, as Fredrick entered the ward, Nora's eyes lit up with anticipation. She wasted no time in questioning Fredrick about his father's involvement in securing the collaboration with Wellington Group company."Fredrick, did you ask your father for help?" Nora inquired eagerly, her tone filled with anticipation.Fredrick hesitated for a moment but then nodded reluctantly. "Yes, I did," he admitted, unable to meet Nora's gaze.Nora's grin widened into a triumphant smile, her victory apparent. "I knew it!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.Just then, Gabriel entered the room, his presence drawing everyone's attention. Nora wasted no time in sharing the exciting news with him."Gabriel, you won't believe it! My company has secured a deal with the Wellington Group company!" Nora announced proudly.Fredrick forced a laugh, feigning surprise. "Wow. This is good. Finally, my hard work really paid off," he chimed in, his words dripping with insincerity that none of them

Gabriel sat beside his daughter's hospital bed, a warm smile gracing his lips as he engaged in a heartfelt conversation with Jessie. "You're looking much better today, sweetheart," he remarked, his voice filled with genuine affection.Jessie returned his smile, her eyes brightening at his presence. "Thanks, Daddy," she replied, her voice soft but filled with warmth. "I'm feeling a lot stronger."Camella entered the room, a tender smile on her face as she approached them. "Hey, sweetheart," she greeted Jessie, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "How are you feeling today?"Jessie's smile widened at the sight of her mother. "I'm doing much better, Mom," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "Daddy's been keeping me company."Camella's smile softened as she glanced at Gabriel, a hint of warmth in her eyes. "That's wonderful to hear," she said, her voice filled with genuine relief. "Thank you for being here for her, Gabriel."Gabriel nodded, his heart swelling with love for his
