He frowned at the interaction, noting how slouched over Gift was as she talked and how closer she seemed to have gotten with Trenor.
It bothered him for a while, but he shook it off, deciding it was better he ignored anything that had to do with her, but despite his convincing himself, he didn't leave the spot he was standing until he heard her shut the door to her room.
Gift entered her room, set her meds aside, took her bath and found her dress for the next day.
She felt exhausted as she laid on the bed, but sleep didn't come, so she stared right at the ceiling wondering what she had done wrong.
“I wonder if he's acting strangely because did that,” she thought as she brought her fingertips up to her lower lip.
Her cheeks warmed up but she shook her head and turned and tossed on her bed.
Although she couldn't f
But that in itself made her want to stay some more. She did not want to imagine how unbearable it would be for Olivia to live with Sofia if things worked out with Zenith, so she decided to stay, as repayment for everything they had done for her until that point.She felt like she had nothing to lose even regardless of what part of her past was revealed as she was the victim little did she know that they had no plans of revealing the full truth.The Avergara duo had made sure to find means to come pay Zenith a visit every day at his office and they had successfully extended their meetings until the fourth day.On their fourth day, they came up to his office sharing a rumor that they had heard on their way up from his other staff members.“It's really concerning that you're letting someone like that ruin your reputation, he past is really dirty,” Sofia's father was f
Mr Kim upon hearing this finally understood that he had been cuckolded by Sofia and her father whom he suspected was behind the accident as well..While he made phone calls to investigate, the culprit was dead as wellas the other witness while the victim and final witness was going under the knife with a low chance of survival.“She has been suffering too much these past days, I just wished I had done better,” Trenor sighed as they paced the halls.“Why didn't you tell me?” Olivia lashed at him.“That was because she said not to, she-”“You should have told me, I promised to protect her and I failed. I let my brother get to her, it's all my fault,” she said as she went into another round of tears.And Joseph and to come in again, telling her all will be alr
“The surgery was successful,” the doctor came out of the operating room exactly twelve hours after she was wheeled in and not a single member of the Kim family or the other three with them mentioned leaving.As the doctor walked up to them and gave the announcement while peeling off his bloody gloves, they all let out a sigh of relief they didn't know that they were holding.Joseph's stepmother signed deeply as strength left her legs and she collapsed to the chair.“Thank goodness,” she sighed as she brought her palm to her face.She had a health condition that required her to have her eight hours of sleep and also use her medications promptly. For the sake of Joseph whom she couldn't leave behind, she had sacrificed that.But the relief she felt now made it worth it.Although she didn't know much about Gift, wh
“You-” Mr Kim was shocked but he shrugged and continued, “my dad is a lot more strict than this and sometimes he gets physical when he doesn't want me to eat something but I still do what I want and eat to my fill,” he said and the small crowd went silent.“Fatty!” His Stepmom jumped at the announcement, “when did your father ever get physical with you?” Because she knew how much his father pampered him.“There was this one time he tapped the back of my hand when he didn't want me to eat the last drumstick but I still ate it, and there's was also this time when he wanted me to go to bed and he flicked my ear, but I still ran around the living room and ate the Noodles,” he said and everyone sighed.They were glad to know that the dumb appearing ball wasn't abused in the least but he just didn't know how to express himself well.&nbs
"She really hit her head during the accident and there was a lot more loss of blood and internal bleeding up there than we thought. Plus her heart stopped twice during the surgery,” he wasn't done yet, but he was forced to stop midway through his explanation when Zenith stumbled backwards like he was about to pass out.“You said the surgery was fine,” there was no longer hostility in his voice, rather there was a shaking that indicated fear surprising Olivia even more.“Hmmpf,” she pouted again, him acting unlike himself because of Gift didn't mean she would forgive him easily.“Are you okay?” Mr Kim caught him by his shoulder and helped him up.“Hmm hm,” Zenith cleared his throat, “yes I'm fine, doctor please what do you mean? What's wrong with Gift?”“Although the worst has rea
“How dare you touch her?” He said with his eyes glaring as he grabbed Niel's wrists and twisted it to his back before walking round the bed and pushing him hard against the wall. “You bastard!” With that, a crack sounded and everyone knew what it meant, he just had his shoulder dislocated. “What was that for? I was just trying to clean her up,” Niel cried as he tapped the wall with his free hand before he got released, and ran to the doctor's side. “Damn it, he's a monster, shouldn't we call the police?” He lamented as they apologized to Zenith and dragged him out of the room. “Call the police? You had that coming! Don't you know how powerful he is?” The doctor frowned as he fixed his hand. A wail echoed through the corridor before he could freely move the hand, then he turned to the female nurse who was looking at him with pity. “I'm in so much pain, do you pity me?” He winked, trying to flirt with her and although the female nurse knew that he was known as the hospital's flirt,
If only he knew how much she didn't want him to at that moment. But there was no way for him to know that, so he picked up the boom and read all he could from the pages that still had their writings intact. “Your handwriting is really pretty,” he muttered aloud with a depressing frown on his face as he closed the book, and by the time he was done, it was already close to evening time. Just in time for their large family to come visiting. It was a lovely scene as they all made sure to have their early dinner together with her as the doctor had mentioned stimulating her sense of smell haven been told that she loved cooking. Joseph was the first to speak.“Today again, my mom burnt our dinner, but Olivia said it was still delicious, so when you wake up, you can adopt me and leave Olivia to my mom,” he said as he dragged a drumstick with his front teeth. “That's not true, the food wasn't really burnt and you know it's not good to waste food,” Olivia defended as she drank some water o
When he turned his back and walked towards the elevator, the idle staff and patients who had watched the whole thing unfold gathered in small groups to gossip, all of them expressing their displeasure. The ride up the elevator was a nervous one for him as he kept thinking up words to say to get what he wanted, but when he got to the room and had a guard in a suit with a big body like a bouncer open the door for him, all his words dissipated alongside his boldness. At the sight of the Kim family and the top executive, he couldn't work his brain. Olivia looked between her brother and the wretched looking man in front of her and nodded silently. Even though she was still angry at him, he was still a million times better compared to Ken who never cared about her. Ken looked around the room for a familiar face and when he didn't find it, he started to retreat. “Where are you going?” Mr Kim was first to speak even though it disgusted him, “you're no longer a part of the company,” he s
