Without a second thought Moriah darted towards the nursery room. While on the way to the nursery room, she tried to figure out the cause of Dillon's fever. Moriah touched Dillon's forehead, she felt it hot and assumed that he had a high fever. "Hurry, give me the thermometer," Moriah ordered. Ethan followed Moriah to the nursery when he saw her left in a haste. "What's wrong?" Ethan asked when he saw the nanny frantically give the thermometer to Moriah. As a doctor who had faced so many dire situations, Moriah kept herself composed and collected while she took Dillon's temperature. She looked at the thermometer and read 102.2 °F. "Get the cooling patches, stored in the refrigerator," Moriah instructed, and the nanny followed the order without delay. "Let's take him to the hospital," Ethan said as he paced the room anxiously. Seeing the man's worried sick expression, Moriah looked into his eyes and assuringly smiled at him. "Don't worry, baby." Ethan helplessly watche
Ethan chuckled and flicked her forehead. Moriah held her forehead and gave him a feigned, aggrieved look. "Don't tell me you've decided to become a material girl," what she said to him just now amused him. They have been married for almost three years now and Moriah never demanded any material thing from him. Every time he bought expensive gifts for her, she always says that it's too expensive and would tell him not to buy her gifts. She always tells him that she's content having three meals daily, a roof over her head, clothes to wear and most of all a loving family and couldn't ask for more. She didn't even fight over her inheritance when her grandfather passed away three months ago. She let her relatives take over the multi billion company that was left to her by her grandfather and didn't demand anything in return. "Yes, I want villas, cars, expensive clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. In short, I want to live like a princess," Moriah held her head high, looking straight i
All of the sudden, an hour later, after having a conversation over the phone with Ethan, Moriah's heartbeat sped up, her heart thundering inside her chest. She felt something went wrong with Ethan. "You're overthinking, Ethan is fine," Moriah said to herself, so she would calm down. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, she saw Dillon looking at her with his adorable big blue eyes. She picked him up and played with him, however, she couldn't concentrate. While her mind was wandering, a voice suddenly traveled to her ears coming from her back, and the owner of the voice was close. She was startled and she snapped out of her daze. She turned her head and saw Cindy with Zachary standing beside her. "You're here!" She said with a smile. "Didn't you hear our knocks?" Cindy asked while looking around to find Ethan. "Where did your man go?" "He flew to Canada, the company is having trouble now," Moriah replied sadly. "His scumbag half brothe
Moriah couldn't hold back anymore and burst into fits of laughter. This is the funniest wedding proposal she ever witnessed. A proposal with no ring, but full of bantering such a bizaare wedding proposal. Zachary and Cindy looked at Moriah, who was laughing out loud. Dillon also looked up and giggled. He thought that his mother was playing with him. "Ma, ma, ma," Dillon said. Amazed to hear that Dillon has spoken. Cindy was ecstatically happy. "Did I hear it right, he said mama just now?" Cindy said in elation, making her hazel eyes sparkle. Moriah nodded. "Ma, ma, ma," Dillon repeated. Cindy took Dillon from Moriah's arms. "Call me mama as well, I'm your godmother." Dillon looked at Cindy and said, "Ma, ma, ma…" after that he began to cry. Checking her watch, Moriah said, "It's time for him to have a nap," he took Dillon from Cindy and rocked him and sung him a lullaby to make him sleep. They chatted a little while before Cindy and Zachary bade goodbye. Shortly
Brandon contacted a search and rescue team in Vermont to search for Ethan. They search the whole expanse of the forest in Vermont. With Moriah's insistence the search lasted for a whole month. Moriah filed a leave of absence in the hospital so she could fly to Vermont. Fiona came along with her so she could look after Dillon while Brandon remained in England to oversee the MIller Corporation in Ethan's stead. Sophie and Lei went to Vermont as well. The presence of Fiona, Sophie and Lei were a great comfort to her. At the end of the first week of searching, many in the search team already gave up and persuaded Moriah to stop the search as Ethan might be mauled by a bear and his carcasses were eaten by scavenging animals. Moriah exploded in anger and scolded the search team. After that, they moved to Toronto so she could meet the executives in the company. While waiting for news from the search and rescue team, everyday Moriah meets with the company executives. As the day went by, r
Waves of yearning flipped Moriah’s heart. Clutching her phone tightly turning her knuckles white, she jumped to her feet and headed to the floor to ceiling window. People and cars on the street were just like ants busily crawling from her point of view, being on the 30th floor of a tall building. "Did you miss me, love?" A man's hoarse voice sounded at the other end of the line. Moriah's eyes turned blurry. "Missing you badly, that I'm going crazy," Moriah broke down. "Stay where you are, I'm coming to get you," Ethan said in a commanding tone. "Hurry up!" Moriah giggled and sobbed all at the same time as she was overwhelmed by the surge of emotion. Anxiously, Moriah watched the door, her body turning cold and stiff at each passing time. Her mind debated whether she was just having a dream or not. Her heart thundered inside her chest when the door flung open and her eyes met with his. She studied the man who appeared before her. Face covered with a mustache and beard, highlight
Bringing home a man with her caused a stir in the villa, the butler and some bodyguards were startled and murmured. Just the other day she went hysterical and insisted that her husband is alive. Now, she came home with a man and they were acting intimate. The butler quirked his eyebrows looking at the departing back of Moriah and the man who held her waist possessively. Due to exhaustion Moriah and Ethan slept until 9 in the morning. "Jim, did Moriah come back?" Fiona asked the butler. Jim gulped audibly at Fiona's question, he debated whether to tell her what he saw. Eventually he made up his mind to tell her. "Madam, she came back in the wee hours, but…" he paused and thought how to say it. "But what, Jim?" Fiona asked. "She brought a man with her. And they look intimate," Jim said softly with his head hung low. "What?" Fiona sprang up from the couch like a scalded cat. "She came home with a man," Jim repeated, his head still hanging low. Fiona went upstairs and marched to
Moriah looked up to him with probing eyes. She felt her heart plummeting into an abyss of uncertainty when he evaded her eyes. "Why do I feel something's amiss?" Moriah murmured to herself, but Ethan clearly heard her. Ethan took a deep long breath. "Moriah, there's nothing wrong," he said assuringly but Moriah shook her head. "But why did I feel you were tense when I asked about the man who helped you?" Moriah couldn't hold back as her emotion was all over the place. The tone of her voice indicated that she's about to break down. Ethan understood the ordeal she has been through after the plane crash. "Calm down, baby," he hugged her. "I'm assuring you, nothing is wrong, okay?" Moriah squirmed away from him as she was plagued by doubts. "Don't try to hide something from me Ethan. When I give you the opportunity to tell me the truth, tell me, even when it hurts, I will forgive you, but if you choose not to say it, I won't be able to forgive you," her voice was soft and non threa
