“Come in!” Alex uttered loudly, not wanting to be disturbed by a continuous loud knock.Creak!The door opened slightly, revealing Bella who walked into the room majestically. She was dressed in a short, red gown, looking beautiful thanks to the massive makeup that she applied on her face.Engrossed with the work he was doing, Alex didn't even notice when Bella walked in, even though her intoxicating perfume wafted through the air. “Theo, did you get any information?” He questioned, still engrossed with his work. He assumed that it was Theo who walked inside the room, because he instructed Theo to report any information he gets about the recent car accident that made Diana end up in a coma.Meanwhile, Bella’s lips downturned when she heard him say, “Theo.”“So he did not notice me,” Bella muttered to herself, before thinking of a way to make Alex notice her.As soon as an idea struck her mind, she continued to walk gently towards the table before Alex, then, she closed his laptop to
“Responsible woman?” Alex uttered, before chuckling miserably. He shifted a disdainful gaze to Bella, and he responded, “Well... I can't just consider a woman as irresponsible if there are no reasons behind it.”“What reason?” Rex questioned, creasing his brows as he placed the cup gently on the table before averting his gaze to Alex and Bella.“There are lots of reasons... which I'm not prepared to mention, in order to not waste any time,” Alex replied quickly, not intending to waste his working or eating time to discuss about someone he didn't want to see.With that, Bella faced him with her arms crossed, and she pouted, “We resolved this issue already, and you should not consider my past as any of the reasons why you consider me as an irresponsible woman. Remember, you said you will endure before you blindly gave me those divorce papers to sign.”“Yes, I said that I would endure. Also, I mentioned that I would endure for as long as I could.” Alex voiced out, before grabbing Bella
“I am not your maid, you crippled man!!” Bella shouted, her voice ringing out, loud and sharp, which caused Rex to gasp in shock.He had never received such a loud, rude statement from anyone. Even Alex would never yell at him that way, let alone a stranger. “What did you just say?” He questioned quickly.“I said I'm not your maid, so stop instructing me like a maid!”“How dare you speak to me rudely! You also called me a crippled man... tsk tsk tsk, do you know what I'm capable of? No one in their entire miserable life would ever speak to me like that, even if it were Diana, she would help me without grumbling at all!” He fired back, causing Bella to let out an evil chuckle as she bent to equalize their heights.“Diana? Are you seriously bringing that garbage up? Hehe... Oh well, crippled man, just in case you are not aware, your Diana is a vegetable right now, and she is useless. So, forget about her,” Bella replied firmly, sprouting to her feet as she folded her arms across her ch
Bella gulped at his threatening statement. For the first time in her entire years with Alex, Alex threatened someone!It was a new change which Bella disliked a lot. No, his love for Diana was changing him quickly, almost too quickly!She clenched her fist and she exclaimed before Alex could step out of the room.“You love me, Alex! Diana is only a distraction because of that damn one-night you had!” She exclaimed, as she was very certain about what she said, while Alex opened the door.Just then, she exclaimed again, “I wish Diana could just sleep and never wake up! She should die and let you be!”Alex’s ears rang at that statement. How dare she wish for his wife’s death when he had always been praying for her consciousness.He faced Bella with a glare as he became annoyed. Of all insults she could say, it had to be this? Oh well, she pushed him to the wall this time.“How dare you!” Alex growled, approaching Bella with hasty steps before he gripped her neck.“Alex, what are you doi
“Huh?” Rex uttered, his eyes widening in disbelief as he was dumbfounded by the male escort’s statement.He was expecting the escort to help him, not smirk.“You know, you should just die after what you did to my parents,” the male escort hissed with, venom dripping from every word.But fortunately, the pain in Rex’s chest subsided as it allowed Rex to regain his voice. “Do I know you before?” Rex questioned cautiously, intending to not fuel the male escort’s anger.“No, you don't. But maybe after you die, you will remember who I am,” the male escort snickered, before pulling out a dagger.With that, fear struck Rex like lightning and he gasped in shock. Why would someone want to hurt him when he didn’t know what he had done wrong? His heart raced, but before the dagger could hit his stomach, he managed to summon strength, and he grabbed it, before he tried his best to push it away.Though, the male escort’s grip was very tight. He wrestled the dagger from Rex’s hand, then he attemp
“I thought you left-” Diana muttered, before she hastily covered her face with her hands.“Gosh, my cheeks are cold!” She exclaimed, not wanting Alex to notice that she had been crying. Meanwhile, Alex knew about it already.Swiftly, he approached her and folded his arms, “If Dad talks to you that way again, I want you to defend yourself instead of keeping it all to yourself.”“Huh?” Diana replied, pretending to not hear Alex’s statement since she was scared of separating Alex from Rex with her rumored bad luck.“It’s not like he is not going to die soon anyways, so at least he should spend time laughing with us now,” Alex mumbled, before sitting next to Diana.“Or do you think we should move out?” Alex inquired, causing Diana to quickly shook her head.“No, no! We should spend more time with him since this is the time he needs his family more,” Diana suggested quickly.With that statement, Alex huffed. He understood that she was too naive, and that she was only doing it to make Rex h
Diana and Alex spent the night affectionately and the night passed by like a fleeting time.***‘Celebrating a decade of medical milestones: Kingston Hospital 10th anniversary’ was boldly visible on the large banner as the hospital staffs walked into the hall.Also, Diana and Alex walked into the decorated hospital event hall with Diana’s arm wrapped around his elbow.She had a wide smile on her face, and she squealed in excitement, “This is the first time I got invited to the hospital’s anniversary. Aw, I feel so lucky!”“Well, you should be grateful that I saw the invitation mail in your email first,” Alex replied, causing Diana to whisper, “I’m very grateful... this means a lot to me.”Just then, Fiona walked past them, deliberately bumping her shoulder into Diana’s shoulder. “Ouch,” Diana mumbled, feeling a little pain as Fiona’s shoulder brushed against her shoulder.“Is everything alright?”Alex questioned, as soon as he heard her mumble.“It’s fine,” Diana replied quickly, bef
“I apologize for whatever inconvenience my daughter caused, sir. Nothing of that sort will occur again,” Mr. Watson pleaded, causing Fiona to furrow her brows in confusion.“Dad, what are you doing?! You are only ruining things!” Fiona yelled, but Mr. Watson kept his head in that bent position, not paying heed to Fiona’s statement.Then, Alex coughed, breaking the silence the room was enveloped in.“It’s fine, as long as my wife is not offended,” Alex responded, and with that, Mr. Watson bowed his head again, as he muttered, “Thank you so much, sir!”Afterward, he left Diana and Alex’s side quickly, while Fiona followed him.“Dad, what was that all about?! Why did you do that in everyone’s presence?” Fiona questioned, almost bursting into tears since she felt like her whole ego had been destroyed.“I will explain everything to you later. For now, keep your mouth shut,” Mr. Watson instructed, before shifting his gaze to the stage.Just then, Ben, who is also the hospital’s director too
