Chapter 71Mr. Leonard Grayson immediately jumped out of his vehicle and ran inside, heading toward the elevator. This wasn't his first time visiting the hospital, he knew where she would probably be. The elevator opened on the fifth floor, immediately he stepped out he saw Liam pacing to and fro."Liam," he called out as he approached him, Liam looked to the left where he heard his name, "Dad, you came," they both hugged and broke the hug a few seconds later. "Any news from the doctor? Has the treatment or check been completed?Liam exhaled and shook his head negatively, putting on a sad look, "I am still waiting for the doctor's report, as of now there's nothing we can do than just wait." Mr. Leonard was getting frustrated, "Wait? Haven't you been waiting? How come they aren't done with whatever they are doing?"Liam walked towards his dad and placed his hand on his left shoulder, "Calm down dad, complaining or shouting won't make any difference, I believe the reason they are st
Chapter 72They all exhaled and trailed the doctor to his office, with different questions bugging their minds, Martinez was the only one who stayed back. When he noticed they had all gone into the doctor's office, he asked the nurse standing by the door if he could see her."Sure, but she is resting, don't disturb or touch her," Martinez nodded his head and walked into the room, where she was lying on the bed, with different instruments, wires, and machines connected to her body. Martinez felt bad, his conscience immediately pricked him as tears strolled down his eyes.He couldn't help but sob as he walked to the bed, "I am sorry Madeline, I didn't know it would lead to this, I am sorry," he quickly brought out his handkerchief and wiped his tears when he heard the footsteps behind him.He turned and found out it was Audrey, she remained quiet as she stared at her mum, and when tears started streaming down her eyes, she took off her medicated glass, so she could wipe away her tears.
Chapter 73Audrey stretched her hands to the shoulder of Martinez, "It's fine and it's not your fault you didn't have an answer at that moment. There's no need to blame yourself, and I am sorry about the loss of your sisters, I know it must have been challenging."Martinez nodded his head, just then the door of the doctor's office opened and they all stepped out and walked to see Mrs. Madeline. Audrey and Martinez quickly got on their feet and wiped the tears away from their eyes. "Adrian, what's happening? What did the doctor say?"Adrian exhaled and held her hands, he kept quiet gazing into her eyes, "Adrian, you are getting me scared, talk to me." He looked to Martinez who had a hand in whatever was currently happening, and then returned his gaze to Audrey. "Your Mum is fine, she just needs a little surgery.""A little surgery? What surgery? Where?" She asked gazing at her brother Liam, Liam exhaled and walked towards her, and took her hands, "Mum will be fine, she just needs a

Ethan held his face, confused as to why his Dad would slap him twice. "Dad, what's that for?" "You still have the guts to ask what's that for?" Mr. Leonard asked, wanting to add a third one, "I am sorry Dad, it's strange, it's been a while since you raised your hands at me. Where's Mum and how's she?" Leonard raised his head towards the room she was in, Ethan walked gently to the room, his two palms still glued to his cheeks.He slowly walked in, tears dripping down his eyes, he walked outside but didn't see his father anymore.

She sent an email to Adrian asking if he was ready, but he didn't reply.She paced to and fro till her husband came into the room, he noticed how worked up she looked, she also looked worried. He walked up to her and held her hands, stopping her from moving, "You look worried, what's up?"She smiled, "Nothing my love, I am just worried about a business deal with one of our shareholders," she replied. "How come, I am just knowing about this? Aren't you the one who said we shouldn't hide anything from each other?

He is aware she wouldn't reveal the truth to him, but there was no harm in trying."Your first husband?
