All Chapters of Love Prevails : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

The naming ceremony was over. Marshall had found his new love interest. Danielle had accepted to go out on an official date. However, they had vowed to first get to know each other as they were both still young. The event, all in all, was, as the younger generation called it, "jiving."The following week, Bradford and Camilla needed to speak with Frederick and Tamara regarding the project that was needed to get underway, so a meeting was called. At Hemmingway International, Tamara and Frederick attended the arranged meeting. "Okay, so here is what we are planning: Frederick, I need you and Tamara to move into our place in Aunt Joyce's place. Meghan and Marshall will move into the main house with Nancy and Denzil. Denzil knows a lot about our business, so he can help you both and Nancy is superb with kids, so she will look after the twins with the help of the other staff. Also, Grandpa will be around to guide you both. Camilla and I will travel back and forth as well." Bradford expla

Almost a year had past. The twins celebrated their first birthday in lock-down. They commemorated the anniversary of dear Joyce and also Meghan's sixteenth Birthday. Morgan is now five years old and growing so quickly. Marshall is now eighteen and in his final year of school.Camilla sat on her bed meditating on everything that had happened over the past year and years. Looking at her firstborn, she couldn't help but admire how handsome he was. "You have your dad's eyes, your dad's physique, but you remind me so much of your grandfather," she thought, reminiscing over how handsome her father was. "You also have your grandfathers personality and gentle ways," she continued thinking, "how time had flown by so quickly."Deep in thought she didn't hear the knock at the door and when Marshall entered the room she was startled. "I'm sorry mom," he said, placing a hand on her shoulders. "It's okay son," she responded, "I was just thinking about how grown up you are. This is your last ye

It was just a few days until the end of the year. Big celebrations were being planned for the end of the year. Marshall would be heading off to start his first semester at Oxford University Medical School. Camilla had started having issues with her vision. At first, they thought it was to do with her blood pressure, which had started up. The sight began deteriorating fast. "Bradford," Camilla said, "What if I lose my sight?" she cried. "No baby, think positive," he encouraged her. The fear of never being able to see again, was haunting her. "Mom, you need to find a doctor who can treat you properly," Marshall urged his mom, feeling despondent. The New Year's Eve Ball was being held that Tuesday evening. A Black Tie event. The first one since the pandemic. All the staff, as well as directors and board members were to be present. Marshall had also invited Lloyd and Danielle as this would be the last time they saw each other until the end of the semester. Thinking about this crus

That evening, before going to bed, Marshall face-timed them. "Mom, did you guys get to the doctor for your eyes?" he asked. "We did, son. Dad found the best in Cheshire. Dr Nicole..." "Wait, don't tell me you've gotten the best ophthalmological surgeon?" Marshall interrupted. Impressed by the news. "We did. Dad knows her personally from his university days," Camilla said. "This is mega awesome. I have also changed. I'm going to be studying ophthalmology and surgery as well. She's my lecturer. But dad, don't tell her who I am, please," he begged. "Don't worry son," Bradford assured him. "Anyway, back to the topic, mom, what did she say?" he asked. Camilla hadn't told the rest of the family yet. "She says I have Keratoconus. The worst she had ever seen. Both horizontal and vertical scarring," she explained to her son. "And what can be done mom?" concern grew in his voice. "There's very little that can be done. She's given me certain foods to eat and supplements to take. I will

Camilla ended up being in hospital for four days after the surgery. "Mom, good news, you get to go home today," Marshall said, giving her the good news. "That will be amazing," Camilla smiled, "though I have enjoyed having my son give me preferential treatment. By the way, how are things going with Danielle?"Marshall looked down, "Mom, she's seeing someone else," he explained what had transpired. "Don't give up. You will find someone when the time is right," she expressed, "Dad is on the way, you go back to work. I will be okay here." He gave his mom and hugged, "see you in December," he said bidding her goodbye. Marshall went back to his rounds. After he finished, Amanda, the blond, slim woman, got him in the cafeteria grabbing a bite to eat. "Hey handsome," she greeted him. "Hey yourself," he responded, grabbing a table. Amanda took this as an opportunity to sit with him. Noticing Danielle walking in, he drew his attention towards her. "Why? Why, Danielle, can't you just be
