When the uproar that was caused during the event had died down, the Coxs and the Williams families called Dub and Amelia to a family meeting the following day, and they all looked tense and worried as they sat down keeping silent and awaiting Amelia's arrival.

Amelia was the one keeping them waiting. Dub had arrived and was already seated on one of the chairs in the sitting room. Not too long, they had a sound at the door, so they all looked up to see who was there.

It was Amelia. Amelia could feel their anxiety as soon as she walked into the room. After finding a place to seat, she heard a male voice:

"Amelia, do you know about the man who raised his hand to object to you and Dub's union?" Zach Cox asked, breaking the silence.

Amelia's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that this would be the first question she would be asked, and she wasn't sure of how to go about it.

"Do you know anything about this?" Flora Williams asked impatiently when she noticed that Amelia was yet to an

"I've noticed that my ex-girlfriend Vera comes to this hospital quite often. I was just wondering if everything is okay with her."The receptionist looked at him for a moment, as if trying to decide whether or not to answer his question.

    Nurse Dora called Vera over the phone and asked her to come to the hospital. When Vera arrived, she took her aside and told her that Donald had been faking his sickness. Vera was shocked and couldn't believe what she was hearing."How did you find out?" Vera asked Nurse Dora."I overheard Donald and the doctor discussing it," Nurse Dora replied. "It seems like he was doing it to get your attention."Vera was confused. She couldn't have thought that. Donald would go that length because of her. "Why would he do that?" she asked."I think he loves you," Nurse Dora said. "He must have wanted to see you."Vera didn't know what to think. She knew who Donald was. He was probably doing all he could to get her attention, so he could sleep with her and later break up with her as he did with his previous relationships. "And I think you should talk to him. He has been asking about you," Nurse Dora continued.Vera was hesitant but decided to go and see Donald. When she walked into his room, she f

We have so much in common," she continued."Linda, you just have to be patient till we make this happen. I'll make sure that Dub falls in love with you at the end," Jasmine replied. "But I can't just sit here and do nothing. I have to do something to get his attention, even though I know you're also working to help me." Linda said."So tell me; what are you thinking?" Jasmine asked. "Errm...I don't know. I just think that maybe I can stalk him and send him pictures of myself every day, and also pictures of himself." Linda said."Wow! You're such a smart

She could see the uncertainty in Suzy's eyes, but she also saw the love that shone through when Suzy spoke about Scott."Suzy," Amelia said gently, "sometimes, we have to look beyond the surface to see the beauty within.

It's a look of pure adoration."Suzy sighed, torn between her feelings for Scott and her uncertainty. "I guess I just need some reassurance.
