Chapter 36Jenny and Colin arrived from the marketColin went straight to his room while Jenny took the groceries to the kitchen to cook, dragging Emerald along.He took off his jacket and threw it on the bedHe sighed as he opened the drawer of his dressing mirror to see if he had left it thereBut he didn'tHe took out all his clothes and started checking their pocketsWho knows?He could have dipped it in a pocket without realizingHe was so concentrated when his phone rangA call from an unknown numberHe thought of ignoring itHe could be a spam callBut the number kept callingHe had no option than to pause what he is doing and answer the call"Hey young master" He heard a very familiar voice"Eric? How did you get my new number?""Jenny gave it to me, she said Emerald flushed your phone and you had to get another one" Eric laughed"It's not funny""Oh, it is" Eric snickered"And whose fault is it? Why did you allow Emerald come here? She's such a big headache" Colin groaned"H
Chapter 37Colin could barely sit in the hospitalHe kept pacing up and down bitting his fingersHe was nervousEmerald had been in the surgery room for more than an hour nowThe nurses were not replying him if he asked anythingWhich made him more nervousIf anything happens to Emerald, he would blame himself foreverThey might dislike each other and argue a lotBut this is not the ending he wants for them both."Colin" He looked up and saw Jenny walking hurriedly to himHe didn't call to tell her since he was so scared and totally forgot but it seems she found out herself The hospital must have called her"What is the situation now?" Jenny asked, panting heavily from running inside the hospital from the garage"I don't know, she is still in the surgery room" Colin voice was trembling"It's okay" Jenny tried calming him down "She will be okay""It's my fault, Jackson Dream is trying to take his revenge on me by hurting her""What?

Chapter 38 "You couldn't even protect your own sister, how am I sure you will be able to protect Slirthon Groups when I'm gone" "I am sorry" Colin apologized Tears dripping from his eyes. Marissa entered the hospital, looking around for where Emerald was She knew Emerald would definitely be in a VIP ward since she is a from a rich background. She made her way to the the VIP ward but stopped from afar when she saw Colin standing in front of so many men One in white suits and the remaining in black suits. She could not hear what they were saying But she was shocked when the man slapped the Colin She could only see their mouths moving But could not hear no matter how hard she tries Her jaw dropped when she noticed Colin crying. She moved to where they were and grabbed Colin arm "Who are you guys? What did you do to him? Why is he crying?" She glared at them "Who are you?" the man in suit asked, checking her out from head to toe "I am his wife, who are you?" She hissed and
Chapter 39Colin checked his wristwatch againMarissa had gone for the past two hours and she isn't back yetHe had dialed her number several times but she was not picking it upHis house is just 35 minutes away from the hospitalShe is supposed to use just like 1 hour and 30 minutes.Soon,Colin started to worry about herHe continued dialing her number and kept moving around the room"Is something wrong?" Jenny asked on noticingHe seems restless"I told Marissa to get me some clothes and it's been two hours now but she is not back" he sighedJenny furrowed her brow and scoffed"You told Marissa to get your clothes? Why would you do that?" Jenny sounded upset"Is there something wrong with that?" Colin started cluelessly"Of course there is. You can't just trust anyone to go to your house""Marissa is not just anyone and besides it's not like I had any option" Colin checked his wristwatch again"You had so many options, you could have sent me or better still go yourself" "I thought
Chapter 40 "It's great you are here" Colin said and stretched out the divorce papers to her"I already signed them. As from today, we are legally divorced, Marissa". Marissa stared at the papers without taking it from him "Why aren't you taking it? Isn't this what you always wanted? Me signing the divorce papers?" Colin asked "Of course that is what she wants" Catherine snatched the papers from him "It's a good thing you signed it, now you can live Marissa alone" Marissa looked to stunned to speak It was like she never really expected him to sign the papers But he did "Wait, If Colin and Marissa were not divorced, then why has she been living with Martin?" Jason blinked cluelessly "Shut your mouth" Andrew signaled to him "You should get going now. Mum will be so mad if she finds you here" Catherine warned. Colin glanced at Marissa before walking out of the house He did not understand why she looks so perplexed She had always wanted him to sign the divorce paper So what n
Chapter 41 Colin twisted the knob and entered his abode He walked straight to the dinning room to use his drugs and drink a lot of water The drugs won't heal the lung cancer They are just available to lessen the pain He sighed as he collapsed on the couch, turning on the TV He couldn't stop worrying about Emerald He was not really okay with leaving her at the hospital But he can trust Jenny after all He closed his eyes as he recalled how Marissa threw the divorce paper at him He didn't really understood how she saw the ring outside the house Or perhaps did it fall from his finger? Is that even possible? He remembered vividly, placing the ring on the dressing mirror table in his room But whatever Marissa is no more a part of his life He sat up as he thought of all the threatening words he said to Jackson Dream He has to make sure they are not just empty threats He really has to do something about Jackson before he goes wild He picked up his phone and dialed Eric's n
Chapter 42 "I asked if this is colin" Marissa moved closer to where the picture was hanged and removed it "It definitely looks like colin" She repeated just to be sure she wasn't mistaken "I don't know who Colin is" Eric glanced at her and collected the picture from her "This is definitely Colin, I am sure of it" she snatched it back from him "Don't tell me the Heir I've been searching desperately for is colin" "No!" Eric replied immediately "What? I thought you said you don't know who Colin is" Marissa smirked "Fine" Eric sighed "I know who Colin is, he is just Emerald's childhood friend" "He is?
