Back at the Wellington Group company, Aliyah glanced around the opulent foyer, her expression growing increasingly somber. "Mother, perhaps we should consider leaving," she suggested quietly, her tone tinged with resignation.Nora shook her head, her resolve unwavering. "No, we must wait for Fredrick. He went to speak on our behalf, and we owe it to him to stay," she insisted, her voice laced with determination.Aliyah sighed, her concern evident in her eyes. "But what if he can't successfully sway them ?" she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.Nora's gaze hardened, her jaw set in determination. "Then we will cross that bridge when we come to it," she replied resolutely. "But for now, we wait.”"I can't blindly wait here with you, Mother. I just can't wait patiently for a negative result.”Nora's patience waned as she listened to Aliyah's pessimistic remarks. "Aliyah, we need to remain hopeful. Fredrick wouldn't have gone to bat for us if he didn't believe there was a chance,"
With his usual tone, Gabriel proceeded to talk. "Thank you," he replied sincerely. "Camella is alright and Jessie is doing better now, thanks to the doctor's care." As they exchanged pleasantries, Gabriel couldn't shake the feeling that his mother-in-law had something up her sleeve, but for now, he chose to focus on the simple joy of being reunited with his family, however unexpected it may be.Nora's excitement bubbled as she engaged in conversation with Gabriel, her voice laced with anticipation and hope. “Oh, Gabriel. A lot has been going on with us and that explains why we always disregarded you. Hope you hold no grudges, my son."Gabriel, managing to maintain his smile simply nodded. Suddenly, Nora posed a question teeming with possibilities."Um, do you happen to know any of the senior executives at Wellington Group company?" she asked eagerly, her eyes alight with anticipation. "Perhaps you could assist us in negotiating a partnership with them?"Gabriel was taken aback. "A p
Without wasting time, Gabriel hung up and hurried back to his daughter's ward, his mind racing with worry. Upon his arrival, he found Camella sitting beside their daughter's bed, her face etched with fear and despair.The doctor's words hung heavy in the air as Camella's worried gaze darted between him and Gabriel. "We need to find a bone marrow donor for her," he explained gently, his tone compassionate yet firm. "I will provide you with information on how to proceed, but time is of the essence."Camella's heart clenched with fear as she listened, her mind racing with a whirlwind of anxious thoughts. "But what if we can't find a donor in time?" she fretted, her voice quivering with uncertainty. "What if...?"Gabriel reached out and gently squeezed her hand, offering her a reassuring smile despite the turmoil he could see churning inside her. "We will take it one step at a time, Camella," he said softly, his voice laced with determination. "We will follow the doctor's advice and explor
Butler Moore sighed, understanding her apprehension. "I'm aware of the risks, but this decision comes from higher up," he explained, his tone tinged with resignation. "We have to follow through with it and make the best of the situation."His secretary nodded reluctantly, though her unease lingered. "Understood, sir. I will get started on the other necessary preparations right away," she responded before exiting the office, leaving Butler Moore to grapple with the weight of his superior' decisions.Meanwhile, after leaving the hospital canteen, Nora arrived at the hospital to check on her daughter and granddaughter.“Hello,my daughter, Camella. Hope you're doing well. It's good to see you,” Nora cooed, walking in. "It's wonderful to see you too, Mother," Camella greeted warmly. "Please, give me just a moment."As Camella excused herself to visit the restroom, Nora and Aliyah engaged in a spirited discussion about Gabriel's surprising claim regarding Mr. Moore.“That Gabriel is really
Coincidentally, as Fredrick entered the ward, Nora's eyes lit up with anticipation. She wasted no time in questioning Fredrick about his father's involvement in securing the collaboration with Wellington Group company."Fredrick, did you ask your father for help?" Nora inquired eagerly, her tone filled with anticipation.Fredrick hesitated for a moment but then nodded reluctantly. "Yes, I did," he admitted, unable to meet Nora's gaze.Nora's grin widened into a triumphant smile, her victory apparent. "I knew it!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.Just then, Gabriel entered the room, his presence drawing everyone's attention. Nora wasted no time in sharing the exciting news with him."Gabriel, you won't believe it! My company has secured a deal with the Wellington Group company!" Nora announced proudly.Fredrick forced a laugh, feigning surprise. "Wow. This is good. Finally, my hard work really paid off," he chimed in, his words dripping with insincerity that none of them
The following day brought a glimmer of hope as Butler Moore's efforts bore fruit. A suitable bone marrow donor was found for Jessie, much to the astonishment and gratitude of Camella. With the assistance of the medical staff, Jessie underwent successful surgery that day, marking a turning point in her battle against illness.Some days later, at night, before going to sleep, Camella's voice trembled with frustration as she confronted Gabriel, the tension palpable in the air. "You need to get a job and start figuring out how you're going to repay that debt," she insisted, her tone strained. She still harbored the belief that he had borrowed the money the other day from some loan sharks. Gabriel sighed heavily, his exhaustion evident in his voice. "Camella, I keep telling you, I don't owe any debts. The money I brought was not a loan," he explained, his words falling on deaf ears.Her disappointment was palpable as she shook her head in disbelief. "I can't believe you're still making exc
Gabriel sat beside his daughter's hospital bed, a warm smile gracing his lips as he engaged in a heartfelt conversation with Jessie. "You're looking much better today, sweetheart," he remarked, his voice filled with genuine affection.Jessie returned his smile, her eyes brightening at his presence. "Thanks, Daddy," she replied, her voice soft but filled with warmth. "I'm feeling a lot stronger."Camella entered the room, a tender smile on her face as she approached them. "Hey, sweetheart," she greeted Jessie, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "How are you feeling today?"Jessie's smile widened at the sight of her mother. "I'm doing much better, Mom," she replied, her voice tinged with gratitude. "Daddy's been keeping me company."Camella's smile softened as she glanced at Gabriel, a hint of warmth in her eyes. "That's wonderful to hear," she said, her voice filled with genuine relief. "Thank you for being here for her, Gabriel."Gabriel nodded, his heart swelling with love for his
Gabriel's brows furrowed in disregard at her assumptions. "Aliyah, I appreciate your concern, but you don't understand. I can afford this," he insisted, his voice firm.Aliyah smirked and mocked, "Sure, but don't appreciate the concern. I know you want to spend my sister's money now after getting a hold of it. Camella is your cash cow and you want to act like you're capable. Ridiculous.”Gabriel's nonchalance grew as Aliyah continued to mock him, her words were not having any effect on him at that point. "Aliyah, you have no idea what you're talking about," he retorted, his tone tinged with annoyance. "I'm not here to spend Camella's money. I can provide for my daughter without relying on anyone else."Aliyah rolled her eyes, unconvinced by Gabriel's words. "Sure, keep telling yourself that," she muttered under her breath, her smirk still firmly in place.Ignoring her taunts, Gabriel focused on his daughter, helping her pick out a few outfits she liked. As they made their way through t
