Mr Earl looked at his daughter with eyes full of pain and said, “Sweetheart, your forehead is bleeding. Don’t you want to go to the Trauma Unit and check if you are not seriously injured?”Penny shook her head and replied, “It’s just a superficial wound, Daddy. Please take me home.” Then Penny and her father went to the parking lot.Her father looked at her with sorrow in his eyes and said, “Sweetheart, please forgive me. I thought I was helping Bella since she was innocent in this mess.Unbeknownst to me, I was giving her a weapon to attack you. I have failed you again, my dearest daughter. I am so sorry.Since Bella doesn’t appreciate my kindness, I will stop paying her medical expenses. Also, I will remove her from my medical aid. I hope she will never regret it.”Penny smiled with tears in her eyes and replied, “It was not your fault, Daddy. Bella is evil-hearted like her parents. Daddy, I was looking forward to our reconciliation. How naïve I was.” Then the tears streamed down her
Bella was kicking herself for giving Pastor John the pills. She didn’t know what had happened to her heart. She really wanted to reconcile with her sister, but something shifted in her heart when she saw Penny’s stunning legs.She was overwhelmed with jealousy. She wanted to take Penny’s legs. Who gave Penny the right to have legs while she didn’t have them?Unbeknownst to her, Mr Earl was standing outside her private ward listening to every insult she hurled at his beloved daughter. She wished she could press the rewind button.Bella had a deep hatred towards her mother. She destroyed her life. She had never taught her Ubuntu.

At the Eden Public Hospital, after the doctor finished attending to the patients in the Trauma unit, he went to Bella’s ward to examine her.Before the doctor said anything, Bella complained about the nurse, saying, “This hospital is horrible, the nurses are incompetent. I am in so much pain, but that nurse gave me a lousy Panado.”The attending doctor looked at her expressionless and replied, “Miss Morgan, please stop being unreasonable. The nurse is doing everything to keep you comfortable.If you feel this hospital is beneath you, why don’t you transfer to the private hospital? I am sure that they will cater to all your needs.”A surge of anger rose in Bella’s heart when she heard the doctor calling her Miss Morgan and said, “Doctor, please refrain from calling me Miss Morgan. Please call me by my name.Do you think I will come to this dump if I have money? Please give me the strong painkillers immediately, or I will report you to the higher-ups.”Bella hated her biological father,

A few days after Mr Ferguson Senior was discharged from the hospital, the Saxon bodyguard called Mr Saxon Senior to give him feedback and said, “Hello, Sir. My source told me that Mr Ferguson Senior is recovering well at home.I also heard that his grandson, Thorne Ferguson, had been searching for young Mrs Saxon high and low since the Ferguson family received the medicine.He was convinced that young Mrs Saxon was in South Africa.” Mr Saxon Senior thanked his bodyguard then they hung up.

Please prepare yourself.”Paula was shocked and asked, “How could you set my court date since you know I don’t have a lawyer?”Amelia’s gaze was cold, and she asked, “Whose fault was that, Miss Cage? Didn’t you fire your lawyer because of incompetence?”Paula looked at her and replied, “I made a mistake, Prosecutor Zibi. Where is Miss Bernie?”Amelia shook her head and said, “Senior Prosecutor May is on vacation leave. Do you need me to help you with anything, Miss Cage?”Paula was taken aback when she heard Doreen’s last name
Thorne understood where his grandmother was coming from. She wanted to hold her great-grandchildren before she went to heaven.Thorne looked at his grandmother and asked, “Grandma, I have been asking for forgiveness for months, but you are refusing to forgive me. Am I not your grandson?”His Grandma stopped and looked back at her grandson. She smiled and replied, “My grandson, I have forgiven you a long time ago. However, I don’t want Michaela to be your wife again. She would be better off without you, my grandson.You are so cruel. I don’t know who you took after because your grandfather and your father are kind-hearted. Also, you have an ungrateful heart. If you can search deep in your heart, you will find that you don’t love Michaela.It’s just that she was your backup plan. The only person you truly loved was Paula Cage. After you discovered that she wasn’t the woman you thought she was, you convinced yourself that you loved Michaela, but it is not true.”There was a hint of irrita
On the way home, Mr Ferguson Senior looked at his daughter-in-law and said, “Please don’t tell my grandson about Michaela’s gift. I don’t want him to misunderstand.”Before Gail could respond, her mother-in-law chuckled and replied, “Hubby, the package was received and opened by Thorne. He also saw Michaela’s note.He immediately called his private investigator, Archie, and asked him to track down Michaela. Then he took his car keys and left. I think he is with Archie right now.”Her husband shook his head and said, “I don’t think they would be able to find Michaela.”Gail took her phone and dialed her beloved son’s number. When it was connected, she said, “Thorne, your grandfather has been discharged from the hospital. Did Archie manage to find Michaela?”Thorne shook his head and replied, “Michaela sent a boy to the post office to courier Grandpa’s medication. We are trying to track down this young man. Maybe he will be able to give us more information about Michaela’s whereabouts.M
