Semua Bab Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Bab 231 - Bab 240

The moment Charvi arrived with the clothes, Zara changed in a flash, not even bothering to avoid Yosef. She flung open the door, dashed down the stairs, and raced out of the hotel. Night had fallen. She hurried along, pulling out her phone to book a flight. The earliest one would leave in an hour and a half, but the airport was an hour away. Zara took a deep breath to calm herself, booked her flight, and called for a ride. It was the evening peak hour, and there were over 30 people ahead of her in line. She could not even flag down a taxi. She stood alone on the sidewalk of an unfamiliar city, the darkness heavy around her. The neon glow from the shops lit up her confused face. Right then, a car stopped right in front of her. "Get in," Yosef said. At that moment, Zara did not think twice and hopped into the car. They zoomed off toward the airport. Yosef glanced at her clenched jaw and asked, "What's wrong with your dad?" Without pausing, Zara blurted out, "Don't talk to me!

Zara had more questions about Crich. However, the guard was ushering her out, "Visitation time's up. All family members need to leave now."With no other option, Zara held back her questions, stood up, and reassured Trevor, "I'll talk to the lawyer about what to do next. You just take care of yourself and don't worry. "Everything's fine at home. We're all waiting for you to come back and be with us again."Trevor nodded, his voice a soft echo, "As long as you're all okay, that's good. That's good..."Zara stepped out of the ward to find Shelby waiting for her.Direct as always, Shelby reported, "I checked with the prison staff. Witnesses say Crich started the trouble with your dad. Nevertheless, they both ended up fighting, so they're both getting punished.""What's the punishment?""Seven days in solitary."This meant Trevor's time behind bars would be a bit longer.Considering the circumstances, it could be worse. A serious offense might have led to a court case and a longe

For a second, Cheryl's attention had drifted to the thunder, but the doctor's sharp words pulled her back.She mumbled, "But isn't an artificial heart risky…"With Sharon's life on the line, risks had seemed less important.Even Zara had doubts about the artificial heart. Could Cheryl make this choice on her own?If they went ahead and Sharon did not make it, would Zara help pay for all the costs, including the machine and surgery? Thoughts swirled in Cheryl's head. The beeping alarm in the ward hit her like a drum.She tried to call Zara again, only to find her phone was still off.The doctor urged her, "We need a decision now. We can't wait any longer!"Cheryl was at a loss. She truly did not know what to do.All her life, she had followed the rules. She went to school, made friends, fell in love, got married, and had kids. She did everything according to her parents, husband, and everyone else. She had never made a big decision on her own.Now, faced with a huge choice, s

As expected, Macy continued, "Faye is due in three months, and we'd like to keep it under wraps until the baby is born. So, we're hoping you can keep this secret for me, just for a little while."Zara set down the phone, lifted her mocha, and took a sip.The coffee's tartness clashed with the sweet cream, making each sip feel a bit off.Zara gulped down her coffee, took a deep breath, and turned to Macy with a heartfelt plea. "Mrs. Webb, my friend didn't mean to snoop around that woman's business. She was just being nosy, you know… Asking without thinking. "She didn't spread any rumors. She knows better than that. If she has upset you or the woman in any way, I'm really sorry. I hope you won't hold it against her."Macy's smile was warm, "Oh, Zara, why would I be upset with her? She's your friend. I just don't want everyone talking about Faye's baby just yet..."Zara nodded wisely. "I don't know a thing, so my lips are sealed."Macy's smile grew. "You've got a lot on your plate

Sharon's surgery was over, and she was in the ICU. Zara raced to the floor where the intensive care unit was.Family members could not go into the ICU, so Cheryl and her husband, Troy, just sat on the chairs outside while waiting. When Zara saw them, she dashed over. "Cheryl!"Cheryl's face was streaked with tears. She grabbed Zara, shaking her. "Why didn't you pick up the phone?! Why didn't you pick up the phone?!"Zara stumbled back, her voice getting caught in her throat. "I didn't mean to... What's wrong with mom?"Cheryl's cries intensified, which made it hard for Zara to breathe. She was already tired from worrying about Trevor last night, and now, her head was pounding.Troy could not make his wife feel better, so he led Zara to the ward's door.Looking through the glass, Zara saw her mom with tubes all over and machines beeping by her bed. She wore an oxygen mask with a mist on it, showing she was still fighting for life.Zara could not believe it.How could this have h
