MasukNelson Smith has been struggling for survival due to kidney failure. Without a transplant, he has less than four months to live. No one in his family matched after tests were done. Not even his siblings, parents or cousins, except for one person, Janice Capuno, his wife. Janice used to be the darling of a wealthy Dynasty, until she hid her identity and married the man she loves, Nelson Smith, against her parent's wishes. Instead of getting love, she was treated like a servant by her mother-in-law, mocked as a gold-digger by her sister in-law, but for her husband, his love towards her remained unshakable. He'd never ceased defending and protecting her from his family, that's why when the doctors confirmed her to be a match, she didn't hesitate to get herself cut open to save Nelson's life. **** There was barely thirty minutes to the surgery, and Janice was already in her hospital gown, waiting to get cut and her kidney given out to save her husband's life, when the reality of everything she had believed in came changing in her eyes. "Babe....my phone...switch it off...battery." Nelson pointed to his bag weakly before the sedative took full action on him. Just before she'll put the phone off, a WhatsApp notification suddenly popped up. It was from Tricia, his University ex-girlfriend. "Baby, has the fool gone into the theatre yet? I can't wait for this to be over. Once you get the kidney, we're done with her." The message read. Want to know what happened next?

She took some steps closer towards Janice until she stopped to hold her hands gently. "Hey. I've been standing at the door for some minutes now, but I know you didn't notice because you're deep in thought. Janice, you have my absolute support if you abort the baby. I need you to be happy, and trust me, you can never get Nelson's image off your head any time you set your eyes on this child.” Dian offered.What Janice never knew is that Dian has seen her secret diary and had read her recent piece where she penned down her broken heart and how she's contemplating an abortion. "I...I…how did you know what I'm thinking about?" Janice stuttered, her voice breaking in confusion. She could not forget those painful words she read from Nelson's and Tricia's chats. The memories of the painful experience in the kidnappers' den and
Janice exhaled heavily as she watched Tricia exit the room. She felt a strange weight lifted off her shoulders as if she'd been free of all her burden. Her eyes became tender as she turned to Lucas. “They're all gone. You said you want us to talk.” Lucas remarked.“Yeah.” She nodded.As she opened her mouth to talk, Lucas also wanted to talk at the same time, and their voices echoed simultaneously."Lucas, how're you...""Janice, how're you..." They both paused and smiled."Alright, you go first, Lucas," Janice suggested."Okay." He nodded.Before he started, he dragged the chair closer to the bedside and held her hand gently. He squeezed his eyes shut to dismiss the conflicting thoughts running helter-skelter down his mind before he would say anything.The look on his face and the softness of his hands on hers made Janice feel a tenderness she had not felt in a long time. The last time he looked at her with such tenderness was the day he was convicted for the murder of her father'
“My baby!” Janice clutched her hands on her belly, tears trickling down her cheeks as the doctor stepped in, holding the result of the scan in his hands.“Doctor–is my baby fine? Is…is my baby still alive? Is everything okay with my baby?” She panicked, her heart skipping wildly in fear.“You have to calm down, Janice. I've told you already. Nothing will happen to your baby. Trust me, I'm here for you, and doctor Jude is here as well." Right doctor?” said Dian, her voice soft and consoling as she stood beside Janice and patted her shoulders softly.Doctor Jude smiled with his eyes."Yes. Your baby is fine, miss Capuno. And you'll be fine soon." He affirmed and handed over the result to Tricia.Immediately he left, Dian rested on a seat beside the bed, carefully placing one of her hands on Janice's forehead while she locked the other palm with Janice's. "Maybe...maybe this wouldn't have happened if I didn't return to the room to pick that bag.Maybe, I would have protected you–besid
"Now that you know the truth, are you going to have me arrested?"That question struck Nelson's heart as if being pierced with a sharp knife. He stepped back and gently lowered his body to the sofa. If he calls for her arrest, how will that solve the problem at hand? He thought.Of course , Janice doesn't deserve the suffering she's been subjected to, but they're divorced already.Exposing Tricia and having her arrested will only ruin his life the more. He'll lose the relationship with Tricia, and Janice would also not accept him back either.“I'm still asking, Nelson. Are you going to have me arrested?” Tricia repeated.He blinked. His lips are trembling in hesitation."I…I don't know, Tricia. I'm just so confused right now. But you need to know that you were completely wrong. Your actions are just too despicable!” He frowned.“First of all, are you alone in this?” He asked, but Tricia steadied her gaze, deliberately offering no response as if the question didn't reach her ears."Tri
