Damien is quietly sitting across the table with his legs crossed. Nathan is warily watching him, wondering what this man wants. He arrived that morning to the hotel right on time. Hal is also in the office with them, hoping that everything goes well. “Why did you save us that night?” Nathan bluntly asks. “Halsey told me that you owed her a favor for saving your life but I don’t buy it. You’re the heir to Salvez’s business. Why will you risk your father’s life?” “You are quite correct,” Damien nods. “I didn’t save you simply because I owe your girlfriend my life. I saved you for another reason.” He hesitates before taking out a file from his coat’s pocket and places it in front of Nathan. “These are the details of a surgery I had undergone when I was a teenager,” he says. “The heart I received was originally meant for Katherine Argon…Jason Argon’s sister.” Nathan and Hal exchange an astonished look. “Jason? Our Jason?” He gapes. “I knew he had a bone to pick with you but you’re the
Daniel is in his office, going over the notes of a recent patient who happened to come to him. The patient is the daughter of Governor Hampton, the same person who’s going to run for the next election. Daniel is highly interested in the case. The surgery isn’t complicated to him since he can do even the most complex transplants but there’s only one problem.Hampton’s daughter isn’t scheduled to receive the heart but someone else is. There’s a knock on the door and Hampton enters the room. The governor is wearing a mask and a hat to disguise himself. He takes them off and greets Daniel.“Hello, Governor Hampton,” Daniel greets, shaking his hand. “Please take a seat.”Hampton takes a seat. Daniel waits for the man to speak.“My daughter, Riley,” he begins. “Was diagnosed with cancer when she was only six. It was spreading all throughout her organs and for years, we had to put her through chemotherapy in order to get rid of the cancer. Finally, she’s cancer free but-”“Her organs are fa
Lincoln arrives at Jamie’s apartment to discuss about their deal. She has an investor lined up for him who can buy his shares and has already acquired five percent from his father. He knocks on the door.“Come in,” her voice comes from inside. He unlocks the door and enters only to find Damien and another familiar face: Governor Hampton. He’s instantly enraged and turns to Jamie.“What the hell is he doing here?” He snarls, pointing at Damien. “He’s not invited to this meeting, is he?”“Relax,” Jamie assures him. “Damien is an old friend.”“I told you that he won’t be pleased,” Damien smirks. Jamie rolls her eyes and sits on the couch. She motions Lincoln to join her.“He let that brat and Nathan go!” Lincoln exclaims. “Why should I trust him?”“I let him go because I owed a favor to Nathan Michell’s girlfriend,” Damien grins. “I’m not indebted to her anymore. Besides, I never said I’ll end the enmity.”Lincoln doesn’t trust him at all. Seeing his distrust, Hampton barges in.“He want
Lincoln steps out of the bathroom, refreshed. He has been assisting in numerous surgeries and is very tired. His phone begins to ring. It’s Jamie.“What’s the news?” He asks her.“The deal is done,” she replies. “Once the board meeting takes place, Salvez will support you. Daniel will be kicked out. But I’m still curious. How is this gonna help you get Halsey?”Lincoln smirks and says, “Once I take over the hospital, I’ll gain influence over Daniel’s properties. There’s a property of his up south where no one goes. It’s been abandoned for a long time but that’s where I’ll take Halsey. After the board meeting, Salvez will whisk her away from that wretched hotel. He’s got spies there. They can manage it. After she’s been taken, Salvez will remove her entire existence. No documents, ID nor any kind of paperwork will remain. He’s got friends in the government.”From the other end of the call, Jamie is listening intently. She looks up at Nathan and Halsey who are also listening. Nathan had
Daniel is in his office, going over a few files. He’s reading them with interest. Someone is interested in a donor’s heart but the heart is scheduled to go to a kid who’s under Daniel’s care. The interested party is willing to pay him with a fifty million dollar property up in New York. It’s an opportunity he can’t miss.There’s a knock on the door but he doesn’t look up. It’s probably a nurse who’s supposed to leave a file on his desk.“Put the file on the desk,” he offhandedly says.But he hears the chair creak and someone sits across to him. He looks up and is stunned.“Hello dad,” Nathan says with a grin. “Long time, huh?”Daniel’s lips purse in anger. “What the hell are you doing here?” He snarls. “Haven’t you done enough damage?”“Shouldn’t you be happy to see your son?” Nathan coolly asks. “After all, I was in jail the last time you saw me. You should be proud that I managed to climb my way up despite being labeled as a criminal.”“You’re nothing but a filthy mafia!” Daniel sna
Halsey is in deep thought. She’s completely zoned out, her mind only replaying Daniel’s threat. Ever since that encounter, she can’t help feeling that something is gonna go wrong.Jo pouts at her mother. For the past hour, Jo has been trying to tell Halsey about her new doll but her mother isn’t paying attention.“Mommy!” Jo exclaims. “My new doll’s hair needs to be braided!”“Huh?” Halsey blinks in confusion before realizing that she has been ignoring Jo. “I’m sorry, Jo. I was just…”She takes a deep breath and pulls Joanna to her lap. “You’ve got my full attention,” she swears. “I’ll braid your dollie’s hair.”“Okay!” Jo squeals. Halsey tries to concentrate on playing with Jo. Someone knocks on the door and she looks up to find Nathan there, smiling.“Daddy, look!” Jo gleefully says as she holds up the doll. “Her hair is braided!”“That’s very nice, Jo,” Nathan compliments her. “Why don’t you go downstairs and play with Trent? He brought you the basketball set you’ve been asking for
Jamie can see an ambulance and a police car up ahead. She stops her car and gets out of it. Lincoln is sitting on a large rock while the paramedics apply first aid on him and a few police officers are getting his testimony. She received a call from Lincoln an hour ago that he’s been in an accident.“What happened?” She demands. “How did you get into an accident?”“Long story,” Lincoln mutters. “No one was hurt,” an officer says. “And the paramedics have applied first aid. The car is being towed away. You’re lucky, Doctor Jacobs.”Lincoln merely nods and throws a meaningful glance at Jamie. A paramedic approaches them and announces that they need to take Lincoln to the hospital. Lincoln is still shaken by the hallucination he saw earlier and had fainted. He was found later by a passerby who called the ambulance and the cops. Thankfully, he isn’t hurt but his mind can’t forget what he saw.The paramedics help him to get on a stretcher and carry him into the ambulance. Jamie climbs in w
