Dylan knocked on the primary physician's office. It didn't take long for him to hear an approval to come in then he entered.Seeing him, the doctor immediately stood up in surprise. Putting her white jacket in order with a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Dylan. You're here."His aunt's primary doctor was Dr. Lydia Mayfair and she was only twenty-four years old. At that age, she was already a renowned doctor with a good track record. She was also very beautiful with short brown hair and hazel eyes.Dylan frowned at her, wondering why she was looking so flabbergasted at the sight of him, but business was more important. "I don't know how you train your employees in this hospital cause right now, I'm angry at the fact that one of them called Rita exited my aunt out of the ward because of my inability to pay. If anything happens to my aunt, I want her life."Her eyes widened at the information. "Oh, my God. That happened? That bitch! Doesn't she know her place?" She voiced out and left her
Dylan arrived at the Harper family's villa. Even though it was called a villa, it was just an unremarkable little three-story building. It was a far cry from a real villa.One of the guards in the villa walked toward him. "The madame will be angry if she sees you.""But you're gonna let me in, anyway, and besides what can she do?" He asked the guard. "I'm the man of the house, Romeo. I'm still part of this family so you can't stop me from visiting my wife, do you understand?"The guard nodded. "Of course."Dylan looked up and saw the light in Hermione's room was off so he wondered if she was already asleep. He didn't even know if he should believe any words coming out of madam Sharon's mouth. She was deceitful anyway. She likes to make things up just to fulfill the fantasies in her head.Rushing toward the door to the villa, he stopped in his tracks as he saw what made his heart suddenly become uneasy. His widened eyes stared at Hermione and Sean coming out of the living room, holding
The next day, Dylan just sat on a bench in the hospital as he patiently waited for the surgery to be over. He wasn't sure he has ever been so anxious or scared. He didn't feel this way when his parents died because their death was unexpected. It just happened so there was nothing to feel anxious or scared about. He only felt pain and that's it.But with his aunt, the fear in him pierced his heart like a sword. He could only wait and pray the surgery is successful like the doctor promised. She's the only family he's got. The only one who showed him love and took him in when everyone insulted him and turned their back on him.He looked and saw the door of the ward open making him stand up to see Dr. Lydia taking off the mask on her face, still wearing the blue scrubs. He gulped as he anxiously expected something good."How's she?" He asked her.Dr. Lydia smiled. "I told you it was going to be successful, so chill, Mr. Dylan. The surgery was successful."Dylan let out a breath of relief.
They arrived at the third floor where they needed to go to get the 'love in a city' necklace, found the counter, then he narrowed his eyes as he saw the person in charge of the necklace was an acquaintance.She was his wife's best friend, Martha. An opposite of Hermione. She was also one of the people who felt pity and he remembered how she apologized on behalf of Hermione.After Martha heard the reason they were there, she looked at Dylan with a frown on her face. "What is this, Dylan? What joke are you trying to play here? You, buy the 'love in the city' necklace?" She sighed and shook her head. "Just leave."Dylan sighed. "I'm serious.""Not too long ago you were looking for money to pay for your aunt's hospital expenses and now you're here to buy that expensive necklace? Do you think I'm an idiot?"Rita and fattie burst out laughing.Then Rita said, "Don't mind him, he's pretending to be rich. I don't understand what he's going to get out of it but enough of it before you disgrace
Martha looked at Dylan with mixed emotions. The night suddenly became a long one for her with different questions spiraling in her head but she was scared. She knew it was best to keep shut but how can she?Then finally she gained the courage and asked, "I don't understand, Dylan…"She gained Dylan and Mr. Grayson's attention."...how can you be able to casually buy a thirty million dollars worth of necklace? How can you be so rich? Have you been fooling everyone? Have you been deceiving Hermione and madame Sharon?"Dylan shook his head. "You won't understand.""Then make me understand! What is all this? You just waltz in here and dare to buy such an expensive necklace when long ago you were begging for alms? You're unbelievable, Dylan…""How dare you…"Dylan immediately stopped Mr. Grayson's hard from hitting Martha. "Don't hit her." He told her before looking at Martha who already flinched in fear with her face distorted."She dares insult you, master Dylan. She has no respect for y
Martha escorted Dylan out of Avant-garde and they stopped at the entrance before facing each other. Things were awkward between them as they walked because she wasn't sure she understood everything that had happened."So that necklace, I assume it belongs to Hermione." She decided to start their conversation from there.Dylan looked at the black little box and nodded. "Obviously. Who else is it for?"Martha sighed and said, "You know she will find it hard to believe the authenticity. You know how she is."Dylan shrugged and responded, "It doesn't matter. It will be her loss and she'll end up regretting it later on.""Why won't you tell her? You know that if she knows, she'll stop the nonsense she's doing with your cousin.""And you think I'm gonna openly accept her back?" He questioned with a poker face expression.She swallowed, then a frown formed on her face. "You want to divorce her?" She curiously asked.He shook his head. "Of course, not. She'll always be my wife and I won't let
The next day, Dylan woke up feeling so alive like he has never been. It's been long he has slept in a place so luxurious like Golden Relaxation Hotel. It was proof that confirms that his life was turning for the better and the only thing left is for his aunt to survive. He hasn't really thought of what to do when that happens.He's sure she wouldn't consent to his decision toward Hermione. She would want him to let her go and move on but how can he do that when he yearns to make that family suffer?Although, if his aunt tell him to give up, he knew he would adhere to it. She's the only one he'll ever listen to.He stood up and freshened up, putting on his normal worn-out cloth containing his jean trousers, faded black shirt, and shirt jacket. He smiled at himself in the mirror, wondering how the day was gonna be. He walked toward the bedside table and picked up the black box he placed on it. 'Will Hermione accept this or not?' He wondered.His eyes dropped to his small phone on the be
Hermione examined both 'love in the city' necklaces in her hands and she looked at Sean in confusion. "How is it possible? You bought the exact same necklace Dylan bought." She made it known.Dylan looked at it and he frowned.Madame Sharon even got closer to Hermione and saw it.Sean looked at Dylan in confusion before looking back at Hermione. "Dylan bought that for you?" He asked in disbelief.Also confused, Madeline said, "According to what I know, there's only one in the world, or the country rather so how come there are two right in front of us? I heard a stranger already purchased the 'love in the city' necklace too for thirty million dollars."Sean was stunned.Truly, the 'love in the city' necklace he was holding was just an imitation but he didn't think someone else would've bought it with a thirty million dollar price tag. He chuckled lowly, knowing it was better that the necklace was purchased, especially by a stranger. No one will know that the one he was holding is fake
