“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, pulling Avery from her thoughts.“You seem lost in thought.”“I’m just thinking about the past,” Avery admitted.“It feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s still so close.”“Facing it is the only way to move forward,” Lucy said, her voice warm with understanding.“You’re stronger than you think, Avery. And you have so much support around you now.”Avery smiled, grateful for her friend’s encouragement.“Thanks, Lucy. I don’t know what I would do without you.”A few moments later, their food arrived, and they dug in, the comforting aromas lifting Avery’s spirits.They chatted about lighter topics, from Lucy’s reunion with Tobias and upcoming plans to the kids’ antics, and slowly, the weight on Avery’s shoulders was lifted.“Do you remember when you and Tobias used to fight each other?” Avery said, reminiscing.Lucy laughed.“Of course! How can I forget what that bullhead made me go through, actually I still don’t believe he asked me out and he had been so sweet

Avery was speechless. How could this be possible? Despite spending more than eleven months with Abel, he had never stepped foot in her room. Even on the days when she was sick and needed his attention, it was Elijah who Abel instructed to take her to the hospital. Why does he change suddenly and focus on her memory?“Currie, you’re overthinking this. Abel is probably just reflecting on how Riana betrayed him and not about me,” she said.Currie shook her head in disapproval. “Elijah once caught him weeping, his face buried in your clothes, mumbling your name and asking for your forgiveness. It’s a shame he realized how beautiful and dedicated wife you are when it was too late. Please, sister Nuu, I’m not asking you to return to him, but if you forgive him, you’ll give him a reason to live again. He misses you so much and genuinely wishes to earn your forgiveness. He built a free hospital in the village where you and Mary lived, and he named it after you. He even put your portrait in

At the tall building of Copper’s Tech, Aaron craned his tiny neck and stared at the bold billboard bearing the company’s name: “Copper’s Tech and Digital World.” A smile plastered on his handsome face as he walked into the building.Stopping at the front desk, he saw a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties.“Hello, little one. Are you looking for someone?” the woman asked.Aaron nodded.“I want to see my daddy.”“Your Daddy? What’s his name?”“Abel Copper.”The woman furrowed her brow, and her expression turned serious.“Little one, this isn’t a place for games. Now, go back to your mama.”With a determined posture, Aaron shoved his tiny hands deep into his pockets and leaned over the desk.“If you want to keep your job, take me to my father right away.”The young woman was hesitant, confusion washing over her.Abel had no child, but this little boy was insisting he was his son. Could it be that he had a secret child? Most successful men kept their relationship private, and she didn’t w

“Where is the boy?” Abel asked Jason as he entered his office.“I’m sorry; he disappeared before I could come out.”“Then pack up and leave my company because you’re fired.”Jason was taken aback. Did Abel mean that?“But I…”“I don’t want to hear any excuses; you’re fired.”“No, I’m not. You said I had 24 hours; it’s only been a few minutes. I’ll find the boy. I will.”“Then get going.”As Jason left Abel’s office, he remembered something. The boy had introduced himself as Aaron Clinton. That might be a good place to start.He quickly searched his phone, and the boy’s information popped up.Aaron Clinton, 4 years old. A student at Lillie Light Academy, New York City.Jason was puzzled. If the boy was from New York City, what was he doing on Mallory Avenue? And hadn’t he claimed to be Abel’s son? Did Abel have an affair during one of his trips to New York?Jason dialed a number, and within a minute, someone answered.“Please, I need you to look up someone for me. I’ll send you the det

The surgery, which began at 3:00 p.m., continued until 10:00 p.m. Henry held his wife, Julie, tightly as they waited for news from the doctors. Now it was 1:00 a.m., and no doctors had emerged.For ten straight hours, Hector fought for his life on the operating table, while Avery and her team worked tirelessly to save him. After 12 grueling hours, Avery finally emerged, visibly exhausted.She had replaced valves before, but this was the first time she had done four at once.Julie leaped up as soon as she saw Avery, her voice hoarse. “How is my son?”Avery managed a reassuring smile. “He’s a strong guy. You’ll see him in the morning.”Henry embraced Julie as tears streamed down their faces. “Thank you so much, Doctor. I knew you would save my boy,” Julie said, hugging Avery tightly.“Dr. Pepper, my wife and I are incredibly grateful. Thank you for saving our son,” Henry added, also embracing Avery.Avery wiped away her tears, moved by the gratitude of Hector's parents. For more than
