The woman called Amanda was surprised. Her lips uttered Henry's name even though she didn't make a sound.
"Manda, why are you here?" he asked.
Henry glanced alternately at Alana and Amanda, two women of different ages whose faces looked very similar.
Amanda enters the emergency room. Her tears overflowed when she saw her daughter lying limp with her head wrapped in bandages.
"You're the one who hit my girl?" Amanda asked Henry. Even though she was annoyed, she kept her voice down so as not to disturb other patients.
"Child?" Henry couldn't hide his surprise at Amanda's statement that she was the mother of the child he had run into. "Is she your daughter?"
Amanda didn't answer Henry's question. She continued to look at her daughter with pity, lying weak in the hospital bed.
"Manda, tell me the truth, she's my girl?" asked Henry, forcing Amanda to face him. However, the young mother shook off the hand of the man who had bumped into her child.
"Don't make fun of you!" Amanda was furious but kept her voice down for fear of disturbing the other patients. "You better get out!"
Henry finally left the room, not wanting to make a fuss at the hospital. He sat on the waiting chair at the front of the room, holding his head.
William approached the boss after completing Alana's administration.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" asked William, who sounded slightly panicked, seeing his boss look frustrated.
It wasn't the man he was worried about, but the little girl in the emergency room.
"How is the girl?" William looked very worried. He was worried something would happen to Alana. "She's fine, right?"
"I can't say that she's fine, but...."
"But what, boss?" William sat beside the boss, still looking down, holding his head.
"Alana is Amanda's daughter...my ex-wife." Henry straightened up, then turned to his assistant. "Is there any chance that Alana is my daughter?"
"Sorry, boss, I can't answer your question. You'd better ask Mrs. Amanda directly."
"I asked her, but she said it wasn't mine. She was about five years old, and we divorced for six years. There's a chance she could be mine."
"Do you want me to investigate?"
"No need for William. I will investigate it myself. Maybe the child was the child of her lovers when she was still my wife."
William was silent and didn't reply to his boss anymore. If assigned to find out about the child, William would do it as ordered, even though he already knew everything. He would pretend he didn't know anything.
Alana has been moved to the ward while waiting for blood donors. The little girl looks still soundly in her sleep as if reluctant to wake up. Amanda seemed very sad. She repeatedly patted Alana's cheek, hoping her daughter would wake up.
The bloodstock at the hospital was empty, making Amanda frantically call her friends who had blood type AB. Amanda's blood type is not the same as that of her daughter. That makes her nervous. Her daughter needs blood, but she has yet to find a donor.
Amanda's tears continued to roll down her cheeks. She felt like a failed mother if she couldn't save her child.
She only has Alana and Alan. They are the ones who can make Amanda not tired of fighting for her life. But now, one of her children is lying helpless with an IV needle stuck in her left arm.
Henry looked at Amanda, crying in the corner of the room. The man couldn't bear to see his ex-wife sad. Even though he still hated it when he remembered Amanda's betrayal of him, his love was no less significant than his hatred.
However, now things are different. Henry is the one who hurt Amanda. Even he felt the woman's pain when he saw Alana lying weak and helpless.
"Manda, I will donate blood for Alana," said Henry, standing up from his seat.
Amanda stared intently at her ex-husband. It had been almost six years since she parted ways with that man, but Henry was still the same, still handsome as ever.
However, all of that meant nothing to Amanda anymore. The parting that has caused pain until now has made Amanda unable to act normally.
The pain returned when she remembered the man she loved had betrayed her and even slandered her.
"What do you mean?" she asked. She just realized that Henry was the biological father of her two children. Of course, most likely, their blood type is the same.
"My blood type is AB, just like your daughter. Let me donate blood for Alana," Henry asked a little forcefully.
"But-"
"Alana needs blood urgently. If we don't take action quickly, I'm afraid something bad will happen to her," Henry said.
"Nothing will happen to my daughter!" Amanda said firmly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, but please consider this offer carefully. Forget about us for now. Remember, Alana needs the blood ASAP. Take it as a form of my responsibility for making her like this," said Henry. "Don't be selfish, Manda! Alana needs blood urgently."
"Okay," said Amanda, who finally agreed.
Amanda wanted to avoid involving Henry in the kids' business, but Alana needed that blood. For the sake of her child, Amanda suppressed her ego a little.
Amanda and Henry immediately saw a doctor and checked Henry's health so he could quickly donate blood.
Henry did a series of tests to ensure his blood was like Alana's. Fortunately, Henry's whole body is healthy, allowing him to donate blood to the little girl he had bumped into.
Many questions raged in Henry's brain, including Alana's blood being the same as his. It had been almost six years since he and Manda separated, but he was sure Alana was his child.
Everything that happens can't be just a coincidence. A path of destiny must be outlined. After a long time apart from Amanda, this is the first time he meets the woman he still loves.
After the blood draw process, Henry returned to Alana's ward. The doctor advised him to take a brief break, but Henry insisted on seeing Alana.
The donated blood was immediately put into Alana's body through an IV tube. The poor little girl had to feel the pain because of her mother's ex-husband's accident.
Henry sat on the sofa not far from Alana's bed, the man's eyes fixed on the little girl, who was fast asleep.
Amanda, who saw that her child had received a blood transfusion, could breathe a sigh of relief. She sat beside the child's bed, gently caressing affectionately, and she gave it to the top of her daughter's head.
"Lana, you must be okay," her mother whispered.
Amanda planted a kiss right on the top of the daughter's head. Everything about that woman did not go unnoticed by Henry. His ex-wife is still the same as before. It looks beautiful and full of affection.
Henry couldn't understand why a woman as gentle as Amanda could have an affair. The man recalled memories of the past. Then Henry exhaled roughly and ventured closer to his ex-wife.
"Amanda," Henry called softly.
Amanda turned her head. The woman looked at her ex-husband. Her tears wanted to come out, but she did her best to hold them back. She didn't deserve to cry over the man who had hurt her.
"Yes," Amanda answered in a very hoarse voice.
"I want to have a serious talk with you."
Mrs. Vena even knelt in front of Amanda. She spoke in a hoarse voice while looking down. "Amanda, please forgive me. I regret planning to take Alan and Alana from you. I realize your relationship with my grandson is important, which I never felt before."Amanda was stunned to hear Mrs. Vena's apology. She never expected that Mrs. Vena would kneel before her and apologize so sincerely. Her heart was filled with emotion and began to soften."I have seen your influence on my grandchild's life. I realize my mistake and promise not to separate you from them. You are a great mother, and my grandchildren need you. I ask that you forgive me."Amanda felt moved and wanted to give Mrs. Vena a second chance. She could see the genuine change in the woman's heart."Mrs. Vena," said Amanda understandingly, "I appreciate your apology. I also hope that we can improve our relationship in the future. Wake up!"Amanda stood up and helped her ex-in-law to get up. Even though the woman had done a lot of w
In a quiet living room, Henry sat on the sofa with a tense face and sharp eyes, looking at his mother. Beside him was Amanda."Why don't you bring my grandchildren?" Mrs. Vena asked, pretending to be excellent."Mom, we decided to get married again." Amanda got straight to the point. "I hope Mother will approve of us."Mrs. Vena was silent; she couldn't say a word. Even though Amanda had given birth to two grandchildren for her, she didn't want Amanda to be her second daughter-in-law because she didn't want to have a poor daughter-in-law.Henry smiled sarcastically, seeing his mother just silent and without saying a single word. "As I thought, Mom was nice to Amanda and just wanted to make her miserable."Amanda held Henry's hand so that the man wouldn't continue what he was saying."Amanda, we were fooled by this old woman. Do you still believe her?" Henry started the conversation in a firm tone."I'm sure Mom has changed, especially now that we have Alan and Alana. I'm sure your gue
Henry stood in front of Amanda. Expectant gazes turned to Amanda, who was sitting in front of him. Silence immediately enveloped the room; only the sound of the clock ticking on the wall could be heard in the ears of the four of them."It's been a long time since we lived apart, Amanda," Henry said tremblingly, trying to suppress his nervousness. "We've been through a lot together, and honestly, I can't live without you."Even though he felt nervous, Henry dared to propose to his ex-wife again in front of his assistant and secretary."We have been apart for so long, but my love for you has never changed. Even though you once hurt me because of a misunderstanding, the love in my heart never faded."Amanda looked at Henry with a face full of doubt. Her mind and heart were racing. Remembering the reasons behind their decision to separate made Amanda's heart cut like a dagger. She knows that mistakes and misunderstandings have ruined the love they once had."But..." Amanda looked down; sh
William arrived at his house after Mr. Anderson came home. He ran into Henry, who was going home."Boss, when are you arriving?" William asked."Where are you from?" Instead of answering, Henry asked his assistant again."I ...." William stopped speaking when the cell phone in his pocket rang non-stop. William reached into it and looked at his cell phone screen. "Mr Jo? Looks like there is important information," said William to Henry.Willy answered a call from the butler at the Boss's house."Sir, there is important information about the old lady," said Mr Jo from behind the telephone."We'll go there now. Let's talk at home.""Are you back, sir?""Boss and I are home," answered William, "we'll be there soon."William hung up the phone immediately. "Boss, I'll change clothes first. We're going to your house now.""Your clothes are wet; where have you been?" Henry was surprised to see that his assistant's clothes were wet."It was raining there. I got caught in the rain when I got ba
"Thank you, darling." William kissed Tiara's hand many times."Darling?" Tiara was surprised. "We are not married yet.""We can start getting used to it now." William looked at Tiara with a smile. He didn't expect the final choice to fall on the boss's secretary. "I promise to treat you well."Tiara smiled while muttering to herself. 'Hopefully, my decision is not wrong.'Meanwhile, at William's house, Amanda and their children had just arrived home after returning from abroad."Mom, why don't good father come home with us?" Alana asked while leaning her body against the back of the chair."There are jobs that only a good father can do. So, he has to come back earlier than us." Henry tried to explain to his daughter even though he didn't know what important business it was, which made William so in a hurry to return."Good father has a lot of work; now, we are always accompanied by Henry's father. So it's not lonely anymore even though we rarely see good fathers." Alan began to feel c
"I'll get you some drinking water first; Boss must be thirsty." Tiara became increasingly nervous. "Please come in!"Tiara opened the door wide and rushed into the living room. William followed Tiara into her house."Please sit down, Boss! I'll get you a drink first."Tiara immediately went to the kitchen to get drinking water. Arriving in the kitchen, Tiara slumped and sat on the floor."Oh my God, what should I do?" Tiara held her chest while sitting cross-legged on the floor.A few minutes later, she woke up and stood up after calming down. Then, Tiara brought a glass of water for William."Please drink, Boss!"'She was in the kitchen for ten minutes but only brought me water. What was she doing in the kitchen all that time?' thought William.William took the drinking glass provided by Tiara. He drank all the water because he was also nervous."Do you want more water, Boss?" Tiara asked when William put the empty glass on the table."Yes, but it would be even better if it had taste,
