"I still hope to find out what exactly it was," Granny said afterward with an utmost panicked voice.This time, Diana's mind was filled with fear. Even though other forbidden situations had occurred that seemed likely to be the cause behind their problems, if Granny accidentally found out that she had been involved in an external affair, she wouldn't hesitate to disown her and her mother instantly.The fear in Diana's mind increased as she knew her secret might be revealed anytime soon.The result of her waywardness would be revealed not only to Granny but to the whole city. This had made her become restless in her seat.Since they had already washed themselves clean before Granny, she then dismissed them.___________________Soon, Elena and her daughter returned to their apartment. They both sat on separate couches in the living room with thousands of thoughts running through their minds.During this time, the duo were spying on each other in the living room as though they were hidi
As soon as Diana saw her mother collapse, her tears dried up immediately. She rushed to her feet, moving close to her, "Mom!!" she yelled.She lowered her body, grabbing her mother's arms and shaking them vigorously. "Mom, wake up!!" she shouted at the top of her voice again.Suddenly, Elena's eyes opened widely. As soon as she saw Diana, tears began to stream down her eyes.She continued to sob and bit her lip in disappointment.Diana understood the gravity of what she had done and then began to plead with her mother. "I know what I've done; please forgive me, Mom." Tears began to flow down her eyes too.Elena had suddenly collapsed at first because her brain couldn't comprehend the embarrassing news. But there was no way she could escape it; that's reality slapping her hard in the face.After a short while, Elena was sitting on the bare floor by herself. Then she asked her daughter, "Diana, why did you choose to disgrace yourself?"Elena's mind was feeling void at this time. She cou
It was already evening. Judge James had arrived at Emerald Bistro some hours earlier, before the agreed time.He had arrived earlier to supervise the workers assigned to the suite he had booked.Despite the workers having done a perfect job at the suite, Judge James didn't let it all be. He was still running from one corner of the suite to the other to keep things to his taste.He wanted everywhere to be extremely neat, nice, and perfect before the arrival of the Young Master.At this time, the suite was already looking stunning. The suite was booked by Judge James today, and as such, it was only a table that was seen in the wide and spacious room.The table was well-decorated and adorned with fresh flowers. Also, the table was surrounded by a few fascinating and comfortable chairs.There were some elegant wine glasses on the table too, which added a touch to the beauty.Some crystal chandeliers were in the spacious suite, casting a warm glow to the atmosphere.The decor was extremely
James continued to bow to David respectfully, "Thank you for attending." A wide smile took over his face. He couldn't just explain how happy he was; he appreciated David's presence so much. Deep down in his mind, he just couldn't thank Don Clinton enough. Even though Don had helped him secure some favors in the past, this was more incredible to him. "Thank you for the invite," David replied calmly, taking a look at the beautiful environment. It was damn captivating that even a blind person who couldn't see this beauty would perceive it through their nostrils. "I must say, this is a very lovely place," David added, and James began to blush. He clasped his hands together to his chest, feeling so flattered. He was extremely happy that his stress had paid off. He had invested a lot of his time in making the environment as beautiful as the palace of the King of Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, his guest found what he had stressed himself on so lovely. This was the first joy that spread thr
There were already some pricey alcoholic wines on the table. James then rose politely and poured some wine into David's glass.Mr. Jason expressed his displeasure at seeing this by saying, "I believe I am the oldest person here, so you should fill my glass first."These words irritated James so much that his facial expression changed. He was extremely disgusted.Even though Mr. Jason is elderly, he expects him to have some manners.He was not the dinner guest; why should he feel so important?This time, James' patience had been exhausted by his arrogance, so he sneered and said, "I believe Mr. David is the special guest I invited here. Don't you think it is disrespectful if I honor someone else?"Mr. Jason was upset by the cold response, but he did not dwell on it. Of course, he understood what James was saying.He was not invited in the first place. He was the one who had invited himself into the suite and even begged James to let him stay behind to meet his special guest too.Mr. Ja
Mr. Jason's cough was so loud that it interrupted James and David.As soon as they passed a glance at him, they found out that he had impatiently emptied the filled-up glass before him again."What's the problem, Mr. Jason?" James asked worriedly. He was already exhausted from all the disturbance.Mr. Jason was feeling a very sharp pain in his heart at this moment, but he was still trying to hide it from them.Then, a forceful smile appeared on his face as he said, "I'm sorry this time. It seems I need to put a pause on the drink now..."He hadn't finished the last statement before he had another loud cough, with the pain striking his heart in a shot.James couldn't help but rush to his feet as the cough was already becoming so scary.Then, James asked him out of concern, "I thought your heart disease was cured, Mr. Jason?"David's brow raised a little; he just discovered his observation was right. Examining Mr. Jason's breathing earlier, he had already sensed that he had a heart prob
It was already morning. Mr. Jason was on the sickbed with a cardiologist next to him, examining the monitor screen.Mr. Jason, who hadn't felt a touch of relief since he got to the hospital last night, asked the doctor worriedly, "How soon do you say this pain will go away?"Mr. Jason was already in another world as the pain in his heart kept getting broader.As soon as the doctor was about to reply, the door to the ward opened, and James entered.He had returned home very late last night after Mr. Jason got admitted. Yet, he had arrived at the hospital very early this morning.He was only doing all of this just for the sake of the long-time friendship between them.If he had taken everything Mr. Jason did yesterday to heart, he wouldn't have given him face at all.Just as he entered, he hurriedly asked, "Good morning, doctor, how is my friend's health now?""It's nice that you are here, Mr. James. It's so sad to inform you that your friend's health issue has gone beyond extreme. At t
After David felt that Mr. Jason had pleaded with him genuinely, then he considered helping him.Mr. Jason couldn't bear his pain anymore while he was on his knees. Therefore, he fell on his back after pleading with him.David moved closer to where Mr. Jason lay, and he could see that the sickness had made him lose energy.Heart disease is not a fair sickness, as Mr. Jason thought it was. Not that he wasn't aware of how critical the sickness was too, but he was just too careless with his life.Maybe if he had been careful and cautious of his health, maybe he wouldn't have been in this pain.Don Clinton and the rest of them had already shifted backward, giving David enough space.This time, Mr. Jason's eyes were already twitching. It was as though he was already seeing his grave, as the doctor had predicted earlier.James and the rest of them all had their eyes on David, wondering what he was about to do to heal Mr. Jason of his severe pain.Suddenly, David, who was still unsure of whic
