After receiving this confirmation, the nurse wasted no time in delivering the news to Jack, her tone urgent yet reassuring. "The test reports are in, and we have concluded that your daughter has fainted due to the heat and dehydration," she explained swiftly. "I have noted down some medicines for you. Please get them as soon as possible."Relief flooded through Jack as he listened to the nurse's words, a weight lifting from his shoulders. "Of course," he replied gratefully, his voice tinged with gratitude. "When can she be discharged?"The nurse glanced at her notes before responding; "Our team will be checking her vitals every two hours, but judging by the current status, she should be discharged by tomorrow morning. And yes, I am assuming that you are here on vacation?"Jack nodded without saying anything, and the nurse continued,"Then, Mr. Turner, please take care to avoid taking the child outside during the afternoon. You can continue your sightseeing activities in the evening
Dominic's heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to understand the situation unfolding before him before he was even fully awake. The mysterious man's words hung heavy in the air, as he stammered out a reply, his voice trembling with apprehension. "Yes… yes, I am listening. Um, what exactly are you trying to say?"The voice on the other end remained cool and composed, unfazed by Dominic's obvious unease as it delivered its ominous message."I don't know what kind of ruckus you all have caused, which ended in the death of Wendell," the caller remarked, the words cutting through the silence like a knife. "But I also know that the man had a lot of enemies, so it is not really a point of contention for us."Dominic's mind raced with confusion and fear as he struggled to measure the depth of the caller's words. He could feel the weight of responsibility bearing down on him like a cloak, threatening to suffocate him. "Me?" Dominic asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "You want
Now that his family had safely returned to the city, Jack could safely shift his attention completely towards organizing a birthday party fit for his daughter. It was not just about celebrating her special day in a way he had never been able to do before; but he had also been looking for an opportunity for him to reconnect with his old contacts in the business world. As the Head of Scavenger, he had invested in various corporations, most of which had become dormant in these years. But now, he aimed to leverage those connections to the fullest.Most importantly, he had the support and help of his friend Toby, who helped him strategize how best to rekindle those professional relationships. In order to manage everything efficiently, everyone in the household had been assigned their respective roles. Jack had delegated tasks to ensure everything ran smoothly: Helen and Dottie were entrusted with caring for Anna, keeping Jack informed of her well- being, and also making sure that she l
As the celebrations of Dottie's birthday continued, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. It had always been a dream of Jack's to celebrate the birthdays of his daughter like some grand festival. But after marrying Rebecca, he had already left the Scavengers, and chose an anonymous life for the sake of his family.But now, he had finally realized that it had only ended up making everything tough for him– and the girl for whom he had left everything, had left him for the sparkles of money!Now, he had finally come to the realization that if he could do anything for his family, then it was to give his time to his daughters, which was what they deserved and loved. And for these two, he was ready to do anything.But today! Today was not his day to be talked about… it was Dottie's. Dottie, who was the center of attention for today, was cheering and chirping like a little bird who was happy and completely secure in the presence of her father. She was basking in the adoratio
The sharp words that Jack had just thrown out of his mouth were something he himself had never imagined saying to someone. Moreover, it was not just any random person whom he had said these words to, but it was Rebecca. It was the only thing that he had never imagined himself doing, while also being the only truth that he really did not want to deny, at the same time.On the other hand, Rebecca was completely unable to digest everything that was happening with her. She almost could not believe that it was the same guy who had never even raised his voice at her, saying all this with such a distant tone, as if she was standing way below her level. Her eyes widened in surprise and anger, but before she could respond, Jack cut her off again. "You must be wondering how I have suddenly become so kind to you, isn't it?Because after what you have done to me, I should throw you in front of hungry lions, or should get you a life sentence or something similar to this! But you know what, I ha
The party fever was at its peak, and everyone was completely mesmerized by the dance that Jack and Amy were performing. None of the observers was able to tell that this was the first time they had ever danced on the dance floor with each other, and that too, without any prior practice.Everything seemed so perfect, that these two looked like the best partners anyone could hope for, for their dance performance.As the final notes of the song faded into the air, Amy found herself breathless and exhilarated, her heart pounding with the intensity of the moment. She was really not sure why and how she had suddenly agreed to the dance performance with Jack, or how they had managed to match their steps with each other so well!She met Jack's gaze with a shy smile, her cheeks flushed with a warmth that lingered long after the music had stopped. Despite his usual cold demeanor towards Amy, Jack had been very gentle throughout the entire dance performance; he had never let Amy feel, for even
Rebecca was trying her best to accept the fact that she had just witnessed someone else slow dancing with Jack, while she was left with nothing in her hands but a plate with some scraps of food in it. And when she had finally come up with a plan through which all her miseries might come to an end, her own daughter had shrugged her off like she herself used to do, when she had to go to some party or clubs, or to meet her friends.But she had never thought that she would ever have to taste the same medicine, and that too, at the hands of her own daughter.Her daughter, who used to follow her every command like it was her duty… who used to follow her around all day, happy to get even a little bit of attention from her! The same daughter who used to consider her a role model, always getting into her closet to wear her dresses or apply her make- up to be more like her.And at that time, all Rebecca had done was to snap at her for following her around the house all day, for ruining her chi
Rebecca knew exactly what she was doing, and honestly, she did not even have a single drop of guilt regarding that.Because according to her, all old people should leave this world as soon as conveniently possible; after all, they have already lived enough!Moreover, the only reason she had been tolerating this conversation with her mother- in- law; or say, ex- mother in law till now, was because she knew that she would never be able to take care of the kids and the house all by herself. So, it would be the best option to let that old hag stay alive, and treat her as a maid.And in the past, Helen really never dared to say anything against her, as she used to be afraid of her. And also, she never wanted to create any misunderstandings between her son and daughter in law.However, Rebecca had always considered it her weakness, and thought that she had never ever given her a reply, just because she was not capable enough.So today… when she finally heard her talking back to her, she al
