She ignores all of them, making sure her head is high in the air as she goes.She walks into the bank, all the workers are standing up, to acknowledge her. She stops as hurrying footsteps approaches her and her entourage. An elderly man appears and hurriedly walks towards her. " Hello, Miss Eden." He bows. " I am Thomas Jean, I am the president of this Bank."" Nice to meet you, Mister Thomas." She smiles as she takes his handshake. ", What's with all the courtesy, it's not necessary."" Forgive me, but it's only necessary to give this to you." He insists. "Your brother visited the bank a few months ago and was utterly disrespected by my nephew who didn't know who he was, we are just trying to avoid such again."" Oh, I see." She smiles." Didn't know that you knew my brother."" Only the dead wouldn't

Eden lets out an awful sound as she clutches her stomach and presses her hand over her mouth. This is not what she expected to see here, she would have gladly seen a ghost or anything, but not a helpless child. The child, being aware of her presence, can't move or sit up, she just lay there whimpering for her dear life. Eden doesn't think twice, she descends the stairs and picks up the child in her arms. How can a human being feel so light? She opens her huge, but weak, eyes and she tries to move her lips. " Oh my God, are you okay?" Eden asks her. " What happened to you?"The child is covered in bruises and dirt, Eden doesn't know what has happened to her, but it's not looking good at all. The child slowly closes her eyes and Eden's heart stops immediately. " Wait, don't die, please," Eden begs. " Help! Help!"Ansel needs to see this. How did this child get into his basement? This child can't be anything more than ten years old, but she looks so small from lack of food and h

Darla has to knock on the door for Eden to come back to reality. " I'm sorry to disturb you, young Madam." She apologizes. " No, it's fine, Darla, what do you need?" She heaves as she looks at her. " You haven't told me what you would like for dinner," Darla says. " Dinner, it's almost midnight." " You haven't had a good meal today." Darla reminds her. Eden can't even remember that she hasn't eaten well today. With the events that happened, she has even lost her appetite. " I don't want you to go to bed hungry, your mum never liked that," Darla tells her. Eden pulls at her own hair, trying to find a way to get all the anger out of her before she screams at her housekeeper, but it doesn't work. " You know what, Darla?" She stands up. " I just met this poor girl, who probably hasn't

The time has come, and Bloom is going to tell them about everything that he has found about Tonya. Duke is behind the sofa that Eden and Melody are sitting on, they are all waiting to hear what information he has brought back. " Her name is Tonya Aguilera. " he starts. " She is nine years old and is from the remote village on Padre island. " He says. " Her parents are poor plantation workers and a UNICEF worker found something peculiar about her." " Peculiar? What is that supposed to mean?" Eden rubs her neck. " Tonya has a blood different from that of everyone, her blood contains special antigens that if buttressed upon, they can be used to fight incurable diseases." Bloom continues. " Some rich pharmaceutical companies were fighting to " buy" her from her family for a huge amount of money, but they refused." " Buy her?" Melody looks around in horror. She surely doesn't even know half of what's going on in the businesses of rich people. " Her parents refused and even threatene

" I thought you said you would be due in a few days?"" It just happened!" Melody grabs her with her iron fingers. Eden is clueless, she doesn't know what to do. " Okay, are you hurt anywhere?" Eden looks at her. Except for the small pool of water at her feet, she looks fine. "I don't think so." Melody is breathing through her mouth. " Oh, my God."Eden holds her hand over her forehead, this is not what she was expecting when she came to Sunville. " Ahhhh! Jesus!" Melody shrieks and grabs Eden's hand and squeezes the hell out of it. " It's ripping me apart!"" Oh shit, we have to go to the hospital!" Eden decides. " I have to find a way to take you to the hospital, I'm calling Duke." She sits Melody down slowly and grabs her phone, she starts to dial his number, but it's not going. What a day! What a time for Duke's line

Duke freezes. His hand goes to her face, she is crying so much that it's breaking his heart. He cups the side of her face and she cries hysterically. " I can't do it, I'm sorry I can't!" She sobs loudly. The doctor's attention is drawn to them and so is that of the nurses around. They gather around them. "Ma'am, is there a problem?" The doctor asks. " Duke, I'm sorry!" She keeps on crying. " I'm trying to feel it, but I can't!""Ma'am–"" Get out," Duke says under his breath. "Just tell us the problem, we can help." Duke turns to the and they take a fearful step back. Duke's eyes are bloodshot, his teeth clenched together. " Get out! All of you, get the hell out! Leave!" He hits the wall and it shakes. The terrified doctor and nurses don't argue, they leave immediately. Melody has tears flowing down her face like a river, she is totally heartbroken. Duke goes to her side and she holds onto his shirt, clutching as much of the material as she can get. " Duke, I don't hate hi

Bloom and Eden are back at the hospital, they rush out of the elevator and run towards Duke when they see him. He is still holding the baby and Eden takes him away immediately. " What happened, boss?" Bloom asked. " Melody is not in her room." The fear in Duke's voice. " She just left without a word."" Oh, my God." Bloom knows it's bad. " That bitch." Eden swears. " I knew that she wasn't up to no good." " Eden.." Bloom shakes his head at her, she shouldn't be saying all of that stuff in front of Duke. " Have you informed the staff?"Bloom looks around. " What are they going to do?" Eden scorns. " Tie her up and bring her back? If she doesn't want to stay, that's fine. "" Maybe she panicked." Duke is still defensive of her. " Yeah, but that's not enough reason to dip, the child did nothing to her." Eden looks at the innocent baby that is probably going through hell. As why? Because his mother doesn't want him anymore and he hasn't even aged more than a few days. " I am goin
