Achmed Al-Futtaim and his wife Maya arrived at Afgan's hospital room to find their heir son sleeping comfortably.
Bob, who accompanied Afgan, immediately stood up from his seat and greeted the big employer.
“He... just fell asleep half an hour ago,” Bob said in a whisper.
Achmed raised one hand indicating that there was no need to wake his son.
Maya approached her son and sat on the edge of the patient's bed. After a while she stroked his cheek gently. “You look very tired. I hope you recover quickly, son,” Maya whispered.
Hearing his mother's voice, Afgan woke up from his deep sleep, although it was only half an hour, Afgan felt an early victory because through this accident, Afgan could control the situation.
“Afgan, how are you?” asked Achmed approaching his son with heavy breathing.
“Dad,&rdqu
“The point is, now... I bring these two grandchildren before you! They are your real grandchildren!”Achmed turned his head and looked at the two small children sitting neatly and politely on the sofa. The two small children didn't even dare to call out to their grandfather let alone approach and greet him.Everything was still very confusing for the two little boys.Achmed held his tight chest and clenched his hands into fists, trying to catch his breath.A moment later he stood up and stepped closer to his two biological grandchildren, looking at them deeply. Noticing the similarities between their faces and little Afgan's.“How about you two meet your Grandmother first? Grandfather Achmed has much to discuss with your Grandfather.”The two little boys exchanged glances and then nodded together as they agreed in their compact.Achmed nodded then stepped back to his desk to call his servant and give orders.
Moments later, the gate opened slowly, giving Grandpa Rafael, Joanne, and Lucas access to enter.The three people smiled triumphantly.They gazed at the magnificent building before them with concern and hope.With steady steps, Grandpa Rafael led the way to the entrance of the mansion, followed by Joanne and Lucas who walked with mixed feelings.They couldn't wait to meet Achmed Al-Futtaim, their maternal grandfather, and Maya Al-Futtaim, their maternal grandmother.The two children were certainly hoping to bridge the gap created between them.Suddenly the security guard's hand intercepted their steps.“Wait, you guys wait here!”Grandpa Rafael and his two grandchildren looked at each other.“Why?” asked little Joanne in surprise.“We're waiting for a pickup, it's impossible to walk to the main entrance. The mansion is quite far away.” The security guard explained in a flat voic
After a while, Amelia came out of the bathroom with shaky steps. Her face was pale, and her eyes looked sad. She approached Bob with trembling steps, her body feeling weak.Bob immediately approached her with a worried expression. “Amelia, what happened? Are you okay?” he asked in a worried tone.Amelia nodded weakly, her lips trembling slightly. “I... I don't know what happened,” she murmured in a weak voice.Bob immediately took her hand, trying to give her support. “Calm down, I'll take you to the Doctor's Room. We'll make sure that you get the help you need.”Just saying that, Amelia felt so much weakness that finally her legs were no longer able to support her weight. Without Bob having time to react, his body immediately drooped weakly to the floor, collapsing without consciousness.Bob was startled and quickly caught her before her body fell to the floor with a thud. &ld
Doctor Amelia ran to the bathroom, having completed her natural need, when she came out and looked at herself in the mirror. She was surprised that Melinda was behind her.Melinda's reflection in the mirror made her heart beat fast.Melinda's cold gaze made her feel uncomfortable.“What are you doing here?” asked Doctor Amelia in a sharp tone, trying to hide her fear.Melinda smiled sarcastically. “I just wanted to know what you were talking to Bob about.”Doctor Amelia took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure. “It's none of your business,” she replied firmly.However, Melinda moved closer, creating an even narrower distance between them. “Oh, but it's all related to my business,” she whispered coldly close to Amelia's ear.“Never forget, Amelia, that I can destroy your life in the blink of an eye.”Doctor Amelia gulped, feeling sandwiched in a dangerous
As the journey continued, the atmosphere in the car began to feel more relaxed. Bob and Nancy exchanged simple questions to get to know each other better.Bob smiled kindly. “So, Nancy, what are your hobbies or interests outside of nursing?”Nancy smiled back. “I like reading and gardening. How about you, Bob? What do you do outside of work?”Bob nodded. “I also like to read, especially detective novels. And I love to explore nature, climb mountains and go on adventures.”Nancy showed interest. “Interesting! I like adventure too, although I'm not very brave with extreme activities. But, I can accompany you to read detective novels.”Bob laughed. “Someday, maybe we can read together. Who knows, maybe it will be one of our adventures.”Simple exchanges like this made the two more familiar with each oth
Meanwhile, Bob and Amelia had arrived at the hospital.Bob and Doctor Amelia sat in the hospital waiting room, their gazes glued to the floor with a tense silence between them. They were both separated by an invisible emotional wall, filled with regrets and questions without answers.They were not allowed to touch Afgan. Adelia wasn't there either as the woman went into the icu room, accompanying her husband without leaving him for a second. Realizing the danger that might occur if she left.After a few moments of silence, Doctor Amelia took a deep breath, trying to overcome her awkwardness. “Bob... I'm really sorry for what I've done,” she said in a shaky voice.Bob turned to her, his eyes still holding deep hurt and disappointment. “I don't know what to say, Amelia. Everything is too complicated, too painful,” he said in a trembling voice.Amelia's doctor responded sincerely, “I know, Bob. And I don't know how to fix
