“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

    “Alright, then let's move out of here. She won't be permitted to stay in my villa, so let's stay there instead,” Alex responded, but with that, Diana considered the options carefully.“It is better to stay in the same villa with Rex and make him happy while he is alive than to leave him when he needs us the most,” she thought.“It’s fine, I will stay in the guest room,” Diana replied, and Alex heaved a sigh of relief.“But...” She continued, before whispering, “Stay away from her. I’m sure she has an evil plan, so please stay away from her while she is here.”Alex nodded, intending to resolve the misunderstanding, and he pulled Diana into a soft embrace, before mumbling, “I will keep my distance.”***Bella’s phone rang loudly, but when she touched her phone, it displayed the caller ID - Unknown Number.At first, she didn't answer the call but when she recalled that Garrett constantly changed his phone number, she answered the call, assuming that it was her brother, Garrett.“Bella?”

    The call ended and Bella blew out her cheeks in relief.“What a day! Finally, I can be free and I don't have to stoop so low to begging a poor, fat duck,” Bella uttered, then she reached for the door to leave the room, only for the door to barge open.Click-clack!Click-clack!Click-clack!A few maids walked into the room, causing Bella to sneer because they didn't knock before they barged into the room.“Hey, why did you barge in that way?!” Bella growled, and a maid turned to her politely, before answering her question, “Sir Alex instructed us to pack his and Ma. Diana’s belongings.”“What? I mean... Why? Are they leaving this villa?” Bella questioned quickly, and the maid shook her head in response.“No, they are only moving to the guest room,” the maid replied, then she assisted the other maids in packing Alex and Diana’s belongings. Meanwhile, Bella smirked, “The game has just begun,” before she gently folded her arms across her chest.***A Bugatti car was neatly parked in a pa

    At Evelyn’s villa, the maid escorted Fiona to the living room, and Fiona reached there, waiting for Evelyn patiently. As soon as Evelyn reached her side, Fiona approached her and muttered, “I need to talk to you.” “Alright, have your seat,” Evelyn responded, gesturing toward a nearby couch. Hastily, Fiona sat on the couch, and she spoke, “Ma. Evelyn, you need to listen to this recording. It is a conversation I recorded between Mrs. Bella and I.” As soon as she completed her statement, she played an audio she recorded which revealed how Bella intended to kill Daisy and have the entire empire to herself. Fortunately, Fiona didn’t follow Bella’s orders because she understood how it would feel if she was in the victim’s shoe. Also, the other time she injected a fluid into the IV fluid bag that was connected to Alex, it was the normal fluid she was supposed to inject. But, she pretended like it was a bad fluid, just in case Bella had a spy that was watching her. “Gosh, I knew she wa

    “His entire empire?” Fiona mouthed, dumbfounded with Bella’s plan.“Yes. Now, get back to work,” Bella rasped before ending the call. She took a peek at the maid approaching her with a glass of juice then she gazed at her warily, recalling that the maid was always around her whenever she received a call. As soon as the maid placed the glass of juice on the table, Bella smiled, and she picked it up. She pretended to take a sip from the juice, and she got engaged with her phone.Meanwhile, the maid walked to a corner that had no CCTV camera, and she pulled out her phone to dial a phone number.The phone number was nicknamed, ‘Boss, Thomas.’As soon as Thomas answered the call from the other end, she narrated everything she heard quickly, while Thomas chuckled at Bella’s plan.After the maid completed the narration, Thomas instructed her to continue her work and he ended the call swiftly.Pushing her phone into her pocket, the maid turned around to leave, but what stood before her fri

    “You have been diagnosed with liver cancer,” Diana explained, approaching his bed with steady steps.She pulled out a chair, pushed it towards Alex’s hospital bed and she sat on it.“Yes, Grandma Evelyn told me today,” Alex replied softly, his voice sounding weak and slow.“As your primary nurse, I will advise you to have more rest.”“Alright.”“Also, be careful. Something fishy is going on with Bella, but thank goodness, Fiona is the doctor taking care of you. She is more trustworthy than Doctor Ben-” Diana uttered, then she paused upon realizing that Alex’s eyes got shut.“I will leave you to rest then,” she uttered. She understood that he had fainted, and with his present condition, he needed more rest. So, she moved away from the chair, intending to leave the ward.Just as she was about to leave, Fiona walked in with a fake smile on her face, and her hands were dipped in her lab coat’s large pockets.“You must be working very hard to make him better,” Fiona muttered, gazing at Ale

    Diana’s stomach clenched with worry as she absorbed Bella’s statement. Slowly, she released her hands from Bella’s collar with a web of worry lines forming on her face.“You let Daisy be in that condition because of your greed. Don’t you have any soul?” Diana asked, causing Bella to huff and straighten her blouse.“No, you are the one who allowed her to be in that condition. Stay away from Alex and I will stay away from your family. Also, you should visit your daughter at the hospital. She needs her mama,” Bella spoke sarcastically and she walked away with her head held high.Just then, Diana’s anger turned into concern, and she rushed out of the villa, intending to meet Daisy who had been admitted to the hospital.***“Ma. Evelyn, the CT scan reveals that Alex has liver cancer, and thank goodness we found out earlier; otherwise, it could have been too late,” Fiona uttered, causing Evelyn to gasp in shock.“But he will be treated as soon as possible, right?”“Yes,” Fiona replied with

    Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the

    “Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the

    Knock!Knock!“Sir, I brought the painkillers,” the maid uttered in a soft tone. Afterward, Alex instructed the guards to allow her inside, and they obeyed. The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella

    Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw

    “I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
