“Afgan,” Adelia called in a hoarse voice. The man still did not have the expected response.
Adelia's eyes filled with tears as she gazed at her lover who lay helpless.
Meanwhile in Bob's rented apartment. The man had just been making out with the beautiful and charming Doctor Amelia.
A ring on Amelia's cell phone woke Bob up from his sleep.
Bob glanced at the beautiful Doctor who was exhausted because they played on the bed for quite a while before the two of them slept with their arms around each other.
“Honey, where's your cell phone? I keep hearing it ringing, is it something important?”
Doctor Amelia woke up and sat on the bed lazily.
“Where's your phone, let me answer it?”
Doctor Amelia shook her head slowly, then quickly went to the tote bag she was carrying. Grabbing her cell phone, she looked at the 12 missed calls.
Nervous, Doctor Amelia quickly made her way to the bathroom to
The old man had worked as Achmed's assistant for decades, so he knew how Achmed operated at all times. He understood Achmed's harsh nature and the man's actions throughout his life better than anyone.The man bowed his head, feeling utterly defeated. His son's fate was once again in Achmed's hands, and his efforts to support Melinda were in vain.“Why did you decide to betray me? Is what Melinda offers better than what I could give you throughout your life?”The man named Bram bowed his head and wiped the tears from his eyelids. A man shouldn't cry, even in old age. With the back of his hand, Bram quickly wiped away his tears.“She gave the branch manager position to my son. I know my son isn't very skilled at work, but this old hand can't help him. Then you...”Bram looked at Achmed to gauge his employer's reaction.“You didn't do anything to help my only son.”“What?!” Achmed shouted a
“What do you mean? What happened here earlier?” Achmed asked, glancing at the servant who had been accompanying the children all along.The servant nodded, then approached Achmed and whispered something politely into the old grandfather's ear.Achmed nodded in understanding.“Oh, you misunderstood,” he said softly after grasping the situation.With a warm smile, Achmed approached the two little children.“Are you upset by Silvia's behavior?”Joanne puckered her lips and shook her head, while Lucas chose to answer honestly.“She might think we want to take Grandpa or Grandma away, but we never thought of that,” Joanne said softly and carefully.“Come here and give Grandpa a hug,” Achmed said with teary eyes.Seeing the sincerity in her gra
“Alright, then, Grandma will accompany Silvia to the park to play. Would you like that?”Maya looked at Silvia with compassion. “Of course, Silvia. Let's go to the playground.”“Let's bring Lucas and Joanne along too.”“No, I just want Grandma to come with me. As for those two children, they can go back to where they came from.”Maya looked at Silvia, then alternately at Lucas and Joanne.“It's okay, Grandma. We've had enough fun; we'll go back and look for Grandpa Rafael.”Maya exhaled heavily; she really didn't want this separation, but she also couldn't make Silvia feel left out because of a slap she hadn't noticed.“Let's go,” Grandma said, taking Silvia's hand.Silvia nodded hesitantly, her eyes still betraying her dissatisfaction. “Alright, but I don't know if I can enjoy this situation. My cheek still hurts.”“A
Maya paused for a moment before finally answering, “I understand, dear. I'll try harder to make you feel valued. We'll discuss this further another time.”Meanwhile, Joanne could only look down with a sad face, hurt by Silvia's treatment. She felt she didn't understand what she had done to make Silvia so angry with her.“Wait a moment,” Maya said shortly afterward. Maya immediately approached Joanne and checked her wound, while Lucas responded by pushing Silvia.Lucas pushed Silvia until the little girl fell to the floor, her annoyed expression clearly visible on her face. “Why did you do that, Silvia? What's wrong with you?”“Huh?” Maya tried to pull Silvia, who wanted to raise her hand and resist what Lucas was doing.Silvia glared at Lucas, still full of anger. “What's wrong? What's wrong is that Grandma considers you two h
Silvia glared at her grandmother, her lips trembling slightly. She felt angry and betrayed by her grandmother's revelation about the new grandchild.Lucas and Joanne also fell silent, unsure of what to say or do amid the confusion surrounding them.Lucas approached Maya and took her hand. “I'm sorry, Grandmother. We didn't know there was another grandchild. May we get to know each other?” Lucas asked in a stammering voice, trying to explain the situation.Joanne added, “Our coming here was only to get to know you, Grandmother. We didn't mean to trouble anyone.”Silvia glared at them. “So they are your biological grandchildren; they have the right to know this family, just like all of us.”The little girl raised the corner of her lips and looked at Lucas and Joanne alternately.“Let me introduce myself; I a
Joanne and Lucas walked among the lush trees, accompanied by a loyal servant who watched over them carefully. They walked with joy, their eyes sparkling as they saw various exotic flowers and plants growing along the path.As they approached the garden, they saw an elderly woman enthusiastically cleaning some plants that were beginning to turn yellow.The white-haired woman seemed so at one with the natural surroundings, as if she were an integral part of the garden's beauty.“Who is she?” Lucas asked with great curiosity, his eyes fixed on the woman.The servant accompanying them smiled gently. “That's Maya, your grandmother,” she replied with love. “She is the woman who loves this garden the most, and she always takes care of it with great affection.”Joanne and Lucas were captivated by Maya's determination. They wanted to k
