Rose shot up from the chair angrily, "You'll never raise that issue again, understood?""No mom," Lucy shot up too."I thought we've already agreed in this? That you'll never raise this issue again?" Rose asked, her anger palpable."Yes, and that's because I felt you didn't want to talk about them, probably because they abandoned us or something." Lucy replied, raising her voice slightly."Yes, they did. They abandoned us!" Rose didn't spare Lucy her disdain towards the Morgans."That's not true, mother. If it was, then why did my grandfather come looking for us?" Lucy retorted."Young lady, you'll listen to me. We have nothing to do with the Morgans ever again. Do you understand that? This conversation is over!" Rose snarled with a note of finality, but Lucy wasn't ready to let her go just like that."No, mom," Lucy interrupted. "It's not yet over. Not until you make me understand what exactly is going on here and why you're forbidding me from identifying with my father's relatives.

It was as if a heavy cloud had settled over the workplace, making him wonder what exactly was going on."Good morning, Mr. Drake," one of his employees greeted him with a forced smile as he passed by.

The group of doctors in charge of the various health facilities within the Sullivan's empire waited anxiously in the conference room, their faces filled with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. They were waiting for Drake, having received the memo from Prisca that he had called for an emergency meeting with all of them.As Drake walked in, an air of confidence and authority seemed to precede him. The doctors instinctively rose to their feet, greeting him with respect and deference."Please, take your seats," Drake said, his voice firm but polite. "I'm sure you're all aware of why I've called this meeting. I'll get straight to the point."The doctors nodded, taking their seats as Darke began to speak."I've been made aware that some of our hospitals are still charging workers from various companies within our empire for medical services, despite them already paying into the healthcare scheme. Can someone explain to me why this is happening?"One of the doctors, a middle-aged man with

Drake arrived at the hospital around 4p.m. that afternoon to find doctor Jason conducting various checks on Summer. Despite his long and stressful day, the news of Summer's awakening had compelled him to set aside any thoughts of rest and rush to her side.

A couple of tests have been conducted already and this is the last of them," the nurse replied.A sigh escaped Drake's lips as he looked upon Summer, wondering what it was to expect from her condition now that she was finally awake.After a few minutes, t

You need to fight this."Summer could only blink without moving her limbs, making Drake to feel even more pained. While he was there, Mr and Mrs. Willmont walked in, with Dr. Jason almost taking him by surprise."When did she wake up?" He heard Fletcher asking Dr. Jason."Earlier today," Doctor Jason replied.Both Fletcher and Rachel walked past Drake who was already walking towards them to greet them. Getting to Summer's bed, Rachel couldn't hide her emotions as the sight of Summer made her break into tears."It's okay," Fletcher patted her on the back gently. "We should be happy that she's now finally awake."Drake walked up to them, finding the right words to utter, even if
