He chuckled."See, I don't have time for this nonsense. That was my past and I have no intention of going back there. Excuse me please" Clara, after finding enough courage , said and was about to leave when the guy pulled her back."You might not know but I'm now in the US Military. I haven't thought of coming to you but seeing you now, I think I suddenly need my money back.

Without wasting another time, Francis's corpse was set to be buried. Felix, Sofia and others were all wearing black dresses at the cemetery. Felix allowed the tears to flow freely as the casket was laid underground Sofia caressed his hand softly, trying to console him but it was hard."I couldn't look into his burnt face. Had I known that he would be leaving soon, I would have been a good son and heed to his warnings. Now, he is no more and I'm already missing him" he murmured."Had I been a good son, he would have still been alive. My stubbornness added to his early death" he added"You don't need to blame yourself. There was no camera near where he died and it was already concluded to be an accident. If it's an accident, then you have no blame "Sofia said those soothing words for him to be comforted."He didn't have an accident. He was killed! Yes! I know he would be killed since Cindy has drawn the battle line, all because of me. I just didn't know that it would be this early " he

Clara sat beside her mother in the hospital. It's been an hour since the surgery and she is yet to regain her consciousness. Clara was worried, even after the doctors assured her that the surgery was successful and her mother was going to be alright. She still couldn't think of losing her mother. She sat beside her, not knowing what was going on outside the hospital.Suddenly, she saw her mother moving her finger and she was glad She wanted to scream her name badly but had to calm down and anticipate her waking up.After what seemed like forever, not only did Ava lift her hand but she also opened her two eyes."Mom, are you awake? Mom, can you see me? Are you awake? Can you hear me? Do you want anything? Let me call the doctor to inform them that you are awake" she dashed out of the hospital ward to call the doctor's attention.Two of them followed her back then checked on Ava.

Ava asked, curious to know what was happening."It's Carl. We somehow met a few days ago and he is now talking about his money.

Laying down beside him with her head placed on his arm. Karina couldn't close her eyes, trying so hard to recall her connecting with Lucas.Adam noticed her restless. It is unusual for Karina not to fall asleep while sleeping on his arm except something was bothering her mind."Babe," Adam called, planting a small kiss on her forehead."Hun" she answered."Are you still thinking about the man?' he questioned"Sure, I don't know the part of my memory that is missing. Who knows? He might be my uncle or my mother's friend " she answered."What about your father? You have never mentioned anything that related to your father and I doubt if you have ever met him alive but knowing you have a younger sister of the same blood, then you met him alive. What if he is your father?" He further questioned.The question got Karina.
