“This is my daughter, Khloé" Lydia replied as she asked Khloé to come sit next to her, but Khloé kept staring at Gary. She pointed to Gary who kept hugging Lydia like Lydia belonged to him and asked, “Who is he?” “He is Gary” Lydia replied“Gary” Khloé tested his name in her mouth before a wide smile spread on her lips,“He is very handsome, is he my brother?” The living room turned quiet, “Yes,” Anny immediately replied before Marian could. She could see that Marian was about to say something stupid and Lydia was left tongue-tied, so she spoke up herself.“Yes, isn't he the most beautiful boy ever? Just like you, my child, you are so beautiful,” Anny smiled and Khloé nodded,“Thank you” She didn't go to sit, instead she walked over to stand in front of Gary before stroking his hair“Hi Gary, I'm your big sister. My name is Khloé" Gary's eyes twinkled, and he immediately let go of Lydia to stare at Khloé. He loved the touch Khloé was giving. He has been feeling the same touch for

It's been half an hour and Anny wasn't done with Carson, so Lydia decided to dish the food by herself. Taking the food to the table, she met Marian with her phone already sitting in the dining. She placed the tray of food on the table before leaving to get Gary and Khloe, then Anny and Carson. When she got to the room where Khloé and Gary were, she saw them watching a cartoon. Gary was sitting in front of Khloé on the bed., Khloé with her legs spread apart, allowed Gary to rest his head on her chest while she rested her back against the bed rest.Lydia smiled at the sight. She had always known that Khloé liked kids. There was a time she was pregnant and she informed Khloé about it. The girl was so happy, she was already preparing gifts for her younger sibling, only for her to lose the baby due to George's rough beating. She had almost lost her life back then, thanks to the maids around who had helped her to the hospital just in time and also to Doctor Nick, who happened to be on se

“Where is Gary?!?” Marian screamed so loudly that Lydia rushed out of the kitchen. Anny wasn't here yet, must still be sleeping, so Lydia decided to prepare breakfast. “Gary is in my room. Khloé wanted to sleep next to me in the middle of the night, so Gary followed” Lydia explained “What the hell! “What's going on here?” Carson asked as he walked out of his room. He was dressed already, but his tie was undone along with the two buttons, causing his chest to be left exposed “I went to Gary's room this morning only to find it empty. This girl,” pointing at Lydia, “is saying that Gary slept in her room, her bed with her daughter! Marian reported angrily. She was breathing heavily, causing Lydia to wonder what she had done wrong. She couldn't understand why she was so angry “I'm sorry, Mr. Carson, but I didn't know it was wrong. I only went to check up on the kids when I saw my daughter crying. She must have thought she was still back home with Alma, so I tried to caress her back to

Lydia kept pacing front and back in the living room waiting for Carson, who had insisted on speaking to Khloé alone all of a sudden.She didn't know what the man wanted to discuss with her. He had taken her to his study, meaning it was important and serious. She cannot stop pacing around nervously. Confusion was written all over her face. She didn't even understand why Carson had said he was making plans to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary. When did she tell Carson that?Aside from the fact that she doesn't have a job to raise money right now, Gary's school would be very expensive and she was sure of it. “Lydia, calm down. Carson is only speaking with her” Anny said from behind and Lydia turned to her.“Why are they taking so long? Do you know what they might be talking about?” She asked Anny who was tired of calming the woman. “You know what? Why don't you go in there yourself and tell him you are really worried about him talking to your daughter?” “No, no, I can't do that

After the house chores, Lydia informed Anny that she'll be going on a job hunt now. She felt pressured, especially after what Carson had done earlier on.Putting Khloé in school means she doesn't even have a choice on whether to work now or not, she has to search for something to do, and she has to do it now. Anny promised to take care of Khloé in her absence. Soon, she was out of the house, ready to face the world. With her CV in her hand, Lydia went from company to company. She wasn't just accepted, so she went to the company she used to work with. She was one of their best staff, so she presumes they'll accept her again.“Sorry Mrs. Lydia but there's no vacancy,” the secretary told Lydia, who bit her lip“Can I at least speak to Mr. Tony?” She asked, but the secretary shook her head. “Listen, I know him. I used to work here years back. I know if he sees me, he'll want to create a space for me. Can you please tell him that Lydia is here?” “I have to be disturbed, can you leave?”

It was a cool, autumn evening, Carson and Nick were sitting at the bar, nursing their drinks and chatting. The bar was dimly lit, with a cozy atmosphere. The bartender was mixing drinks behind the bar, and the low murmur of conversation filled the air. Carson and Nick had been friends for years, and they often met at the bar to talk about their days and unwind. They both needed the break after their long, stressful days.Nick took a sip of his drink and looked at Carson. “How’s work?” He asked.“You want to hear about my day?” Carson said, a slight smile on his face. Nick nodded, intrigued to hear what Carson had to say. “Well, it started out like any other day,” Carson began, "But then this client called me. The client was a man who had been accused of fraud, and he was proving to be quite a handful. I have been working tirelessly to defend him, but the client was making it difficult with his volatile and demanding behavior,” He paused and Nick laughed. Carson gave him a light pu

In Lydia’s room, Carson, Lydia, and Anny stood beside Khloe as she was being treated by Nick. The little girl has slept off. As Lydia watched Khloé, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her. She had left her daughter, trusting that she would be taken care of while she went out to look for a job. But she had been so focused on finding a job that she hadn't realized that something was wrong with Khloé. Now, she felt like the worst mother in the world. She could only hope that Khloé would be okay.“She'll be okay,” Anny said, sensing Lydia's distress.Lydia was restless, her sobs wracking her body. She kept self-blaming herself. If only she listened to Ma'am Anny and go on the job hunt next week, but no, she wanted to go for it immediately. And guess what? It was useless. Anny placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some comfort, “You have to calm down,” she said, her voice soft,“I know you're scared, but you have to stay strong for Khloé. She needs you to be strong.” Lydia t

Carson rushed to Gary's side, his eyes wide with worry. “What happened?” He asked, his voice full of concern. Gary hiccuped, trying to catch his breath. "What’s wrong?” Lydia couldn’t help but ask also.“Well, I overheard Marian yelling at Gary that he should avoid Khloé since she’s sick, so he wouldn’t be infected. I think that’s the reason he’s crying,” Anny said.“Oh no,” Lydia said, her heart sinking, “Marian yelled at Gary? That's horrible! Why would she even do that?” “I know,” Carson said, his expression grim. “But we need to keep in mind that Marian is just trying to do what she thinks is best. She's probably just worried about Khloé’s health, and she doesn't want anyone else to get sick.” Carson said. “I know, but still," Lydia said, her brow furrowed. “She shouldn't have yelled at Gary like that. He's just a kid.” She turned to Gary as she stroke his hair,“And why would Marian say that?” Lydia asked, her voice firm. “You can't catch Khloé’s illness. It's not contagi
