Vivian left the room where her mother was being treated when a call came in from Aaron.Emma's mother had moved to the VIP room. Vivian didn't want her mother to be in a cramped room full of people."Hello?" Vivian took Aaron's call as she sat in the waiting chair in the hallway."Where have you been? You haven't picked up my call since morning."Aaron exclaimed from the other side in annoyance."Sorry for just taking your call. My mom's in the hospital," Vivian replied."Wh-what? But how come?" asked Aaron."Mom has been hospitalized here for four days. She has pneumonia, and it's very severe. The doctor hasn't been able to do anything," explained Vivian."Why isn't surgery being done? If it's cost-prohibitive, You can rest assured; I'll cover everything. If necessary, just bring your mother here," Aaron said.Vivian sighed. "It's not that easy," Vivian said. "Mom is the one who refused all the treatment. Mom seems to have given up because she doesn't want to trouble me," said Vivian
Steven was currently watching Samuel. He heard that Samuel had returned from his business trip. According to the idea given by Vivian, Samuel was the one to follow and watch his every move in order to help Ashley.Steven followed Samuel to his house with Ashley that night. He parked his car quite far from the main gate. Then he took out his small telescope. He aimed the telescope at the area of Samuel and Ashley's house. He continued to comb every area there. Until he finally stopped at a room where the windows of their room were wide and not covered by curtains, he saw human beings facing each other. It was Ashley and Samuel."It looks like they're arguing," muttered Steven.Steven kept watching them until he saw Samuel's hand rise into the air and slap Ashley until she fell to the floor."Damn it!" raged Steven, throwing the telescope onto the seat beside him. He hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards the gate until someone blocked his way.
Vivian was currently dealing with her mother and sister. Aaron was out because of an incoming call. "Vivi, it's not wrong, right?" Emma asked with a shocked expression. "No, mom. Aaron is my boyfriend," Vivian exclaimed. "But how can that be, kiddo! Your status and his are like heaven and earth," Emma exclaimed. "Are you flirting with him? " asked Vian. "You think I'm that kind of woman," grumbled Vivian. "No, I'm not," chuckled Vian. "So you really have a relationship with your boss?" Emma asked in a soft tone. "Yes, ma'am, and I really like it," said Vivian, and at the same time, Aaron stopped his movement that was about to enter. He wanted to hear the expression of Vivian's heart for him. "Are you sure he likes you too?" asked Emma. "I'm sure, mom." "Vi, I'm glad you finally have a partner. But I hope you don't spend all your time dating. I'm afraid that the more you get
Steven and Aaron had gone back to where they came from and left Ashley with Vivian.That morning, Ashley had just woken up as the sunlight peeked through the window. She stretched her aching body a little and got out of bed. She walked over to the window and opened the curtains wide. She saw in the courtyard Vivian warming up and then going for her morning run.Ashley watched her silently. Honestly, she was quite awkward being here. Plus, she didn't really know Vivian yet.Ashley passed by with her towel and went out of the room. It just so happened that the guest room did not have a bathroom inside. So inevitably, Ash had to use the bathroom outside.She saw her sister Vivian cooking something in the kitchen. She turned her head as Ashley walked closer to the kitchen. A smile was etched on her face."Good morning," Vian said."Good morning, Vian. I'm going to the bathroom.""Oh yeah. Do you usually have coffee in the morning? Let me
That morning, Vivian and Ashley were going to the traditional market. They went on Vivian's old motorcycle."Are you sure we're going to use this bike?" asked Ashley, quite surprised to see the old motorcycle there."Yes. There are no more vehicles anyway. Vian's bike was used by her in college. So we'll use this to go to the market," said Vivian, putting on her helmet and handing one to Ashley.Ashley accepted it hesitantly. "Can you seriously ride it?" Ashley asked."Yes. Besides, if we fall, you can treat us later," joked Vivian."Come on, Vi. I'm scared if I fall," exclaimed Ashley, who was staring at the motorcycle in horror.Vivian chuckled at his face. "Take it easy. I've conquered this bike since I was in middle school. It's definitely safe," said Vivian, getting on the bike."Let's ride," Vivian said.Ashley finally got on the bike."Ready, Dad. Let's hit the gas now."Vivian ran the motorcycle a little f
Ashley helped Vivian and Vivian's mother pick fruits in their garden. It was so much fun for Ashley; she really had never been in such a comfortable and calm situation in her entire life."Whoaaa..."Ashley ran away."What's wrong?" asked Vivian."It's a caterpillar," Ashley exclaimed, feeling very scared.Vivian walked closer to Ashley's place. She saw a feather snake the size of an adult's thumb. Fearlessly, she picked up a twig on the ground and pointed the end of the twig at the caterpillar, where it had moved to the twig."Is this what you mean?" asked Vivian, who teased Ashley by bringing the caterpillar closer to Ashley, who had moved away."What kind of woman are you, Vivian? You're not even scared of that ridiculous animal," exclaimed Ashley as she continued to walk away from Vivian, who continued to approach her."It's so cute," Vivian chuckled."What's so funny? Arghhh! Get rid of it, V.""It's funny, s
Vivian had just woken up. She came out of her room and saw Ashley busy in the kitchen."Hi," Vivian greeted."Hi. Are you awake?" asked Ashley."Yes. The guys aren't up yet?" asked Vivian."Yeah, I don't think so.""Then I'll go jogging first," Vivian said."Okay, Vi."Vivian walked out of the house and did a morning jog around her flock. Earphones were attached to both ears, indicating she was listening to music.Only halfway through, someone touched her shoulder, making Vivian turn her head, and she was surprised enough to see Aaron's presence there on a bicycle to stop her running movement."Aaron?""Hy, why just leave without waking me up?" Aaron protested."I was just afraid you were tired, so I didn't wake you up," explained Vivian."I'm not tired. Let's ride a bike together," Aaron invited, making Vivian look towards the bike."Okay," Vivian said, getting on the bike with a sideways pos
The dinner went on with lots of happy laughter. After enjoying the food there, they chatted lightly, congratulating the two of them. Aaron also explained his plan to Emma and Vivian: he wanted to hold an engagement at his residence soon. Therefore, Aaron asked Emma and her family to come back with him.Emma seemed at a loss for an answer. She smiled at Vivian as she explained that she was going along with Vivian's decision."So how about it? Do you agree, Vi? We do the engagement as soon as possible."Aaron asked once again to make sure."Yes, I agree," Vivian replied."Well then, let's raise a toast to our new couple," Steven exclaimed, making them all raise their glasses in the air and tap each other. They took a sip with a chuckle.One of the restaurant waiters started playing the piano, interrupting their small talk."What a coincidence! How about we dance?" Aaron asked Vivian."Okay. Actually, I can't dance. But I think I ca
