“No,” Fiona responded.

“What is No?” Betty asked impatiently.

“I mean, no, it’s not Mr. Cavanade.” Fiona mumbled.

“Then what is it?” Liora asked.

“I just got a call from one of our former investors; it sounds like they would like to meet.” Fiona grinned.

“Oh my God! That's excellent news, Mom," Betty shouted in excitement.

“Yes, it is. I just can't believe that it’s happening.” Fiona mumbled.

“This is just the beginning; it'll only get better from here.” Lily stated, smiling warmly.

“That calls for another celebration.” Betty stood up, running to the kitchen.

“Yes, it does,” Ian seconded.

They spent the night talking about the potential investors who would call them and how to navigate this new fame.

About an hour later, the twins were sound asleep on the couch. Ian and Lily decided to take a short walk outside.

“What’s your plan for the kids?” Fiona asked.

“I'm thinking of getting them a live-in tutor, at least for the meantime." Liora replied.

“You don’t want to get them enrolled in

  • My Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor   Our Meeting

    There was a dense silence filled with confusion that lasted for only a few seconds right before Betty spoke."Whatever it is you're saying right now really has nothing to do with the hospital," she said in anger."You don't think I see it? I'm not blind!" Luke shouted.Liora turned calmly to Brad and said, "Can you please give us a minute?""Yeah, sure, I'll be outside if you need me," Brad responded."Why don't you go gather the nurses and let them know we'll be starting that meeting shortly?" Liora added."Alright," Brad nodded before leaving the room."Fiona is solidly behind this, isn't she?" Luke asked, pointing accusing fingers in their faces."What in God's name are you talking about, Uncle?" Betty asked, flipping a hand through her hair in frustration."You!" Luke shouted, turning to Liora before adding, "I know what you're hiding… you're trying to kick me out of here.""You sound really paranoid right now, Uncle Luke. Why would Liora do that?" Betty asked, raising an eyebrow

  • My Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor   Hiding Something

    At the Ashford group, tension was running hot, as it was in other parts of New York.Travis paced the length of his office, trying to figure out the report his intelligence team had given him the day before."Do you think it makes any sense for them to pin down her location and it turns out to be false?" Travis asked out loud."Hmm, not sure if that question was for me, but yeah, these things happen," Alex responded."We have f*cking tried every avenue to locate this doctor, but she keeps eluding me. Almost like she is playing a game of hide-and-seek with me," Travis grumbled."Maybe she is," Alex murmured under his breath."That's not helping," Travis groaned into his palm."I know, but right now, we need to focus on the project. Why don't we cycle back to Doctor Athena when we have all our balls in motion?" Alex suggested.Travis sighed, staring out at the city for a few seconds before turning to Alex."Let's focus on that then. How's the report coming along?" he asked."I sent you

    The response came in just as it was promised, and Liora’s lips curled up in a satisfied smile.-Request gotten, see you soon.The response was short and straight to the point. At this point there was no turning back, Liora thought.When she got downstairs later, Betty was sitting with Lily, patiently waiting for her.“Can I go with you? Not really in the mood to drive today.” Betty grinned.“Yeah, sure, the more the merrier, I guess.” Liora smiled.“Bye, Mom!" The twins waved as they headed to the door.“Bye, sweethearts," Liora waved back at them.About ten minutes later, they were out of the house and on their way to the hospital.“We have roughly about forty-five minutes before the meeting," Lily said.“Yes, we should get to the hospital before ten," Liora mumbled.“I wonder how Ian copped over the night.” Lily mused under her breath, tapping her finger on the lunch box on her lap.“That’s why you packed him that box; stop musing and let me focus on driving," Liora joked, as they b

    Amelia pointed at him, the direction slightly above his head. His hair was sticking out in a million places."Did you sleep in a box of chips?" Fiona asked."What?" Julian asked, dropping the cup on the table and touching his head.There were a few pieces of chips lodged in his hair, almost like they were glued to it."You look like your head gave birth to a few chips overnight," Lily joked.The twins looked at him and started laughing.Amelia bent forward, clutching her stomach, her giggles tumbling out in high, breathless bursts."Hey! It's not funny," Julian protested as he dusted his head."Yes, it is," Fiona interjected."I totally forgot it's not just you in the house," Julian said, rolling his eyes playfully.Adrian threw his head back, laughing as he continued to point at Julian's head."Chip babies," Adrian said in between laughs.Liora couldn't help but grin at the whole situation. Julian stood there, looking embarrassed as he vigorously tried to dust his hair."Stop laughin

    At the White Medical Center, Elizabeth still had a frown on her face thirty minutes after her confrontation with Liora.“I told you to call me when you get here.” Ellen said in anger.They were sitting on a bench in one of the mini gardens beside the hospital. Elizabeth left the bag she had brought for Betty on the floor beside them.“What? So I’m not supposed to talk to her now that she is famous, or what?” Elizabeth snapped.“No, Mom, because we don’t know what she is up to," Ellen said, groaning in frustration.“But you’re working with her. Is she trying to get you out of the hospital? Your father needs to know if she is.” Elizabeth said, her eyes suddenly narrowed in concern.“I’ll get her sent out of here before she does that!” Ellen said in a cold voice.They sat there in silence for a few more seconds before Elizabeth stood up to leave. As they stood up, Elizabeth turned to Ellen and asked.“Did you tell her?”*********************The room was quiet for a second before Adrian

  • My Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor   Little Girl

    Liora's eyes shot to Lily sharply, her legs carrying her with speed before she could blink."Grandma!" Amelia screamed too, her tiny voice carrying as far as it could go up the stairs."Let me out!" came a muffled shout from behind the door they had closed.When Liora entered the house, she met her kids standing in the kitchen, their faces widened in shock."What is going on?" Liora asked.She dropped the bags with her, with Lily right behind her, before hurrying over to her kids, trying not to let her panic reflect in her voice as she looked from Adrian to Amelia.The twins stood there, both wide-eyed, still staring at the closed door."Is there something on the door? Why did you scream?" Lily asked.Just then, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the staircase and looked up to see Fiona."What's wrong? I heard…," Fiona said, trailing off as she looked from the worried look on Liora's face to the scared one on the twins' face."Adrian? Amelia? What's wrong?" Fiona asked, join
