All Chapters of Love Prevails : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

The following weekend was New Year's Eve. The Elites Ball was taking place at Delamere Manor. A country estate that is secluded and perfectly situated, stretching over a hundred acres of beautiful Cheshire countryside. Surrounded by parkland, meadows, woodland and a gorgeous six-acre lake. This was the perfect place. With enough guest suits to sleep over. As Camilla and Bradford were preparing for a night of splendor. A night where they wouldn't be the hosts or do the cleaning the next day. The morning of the event, Camilla went to a boutique for her evening gown, taking Meghan along with her. Looking through a few of the dresses, one in particular caught Meghan's eye. "Mom, this dress would be perfect for you. Can you imagine what dad will say when he sees you in it," she smiled wistfully, her eyes shining brilliantly as she selected the perfect dress for her mother. Camilla, herself, fell in love with the dress. Scouting around their eyes fell upon a second dress, perfectly tai

This New Year would be a special one. All the Hemingways were invited to the Home of Bradford and Camilla. It was the year that Meghan would be leaving for university. Marshall would be in his third year of residency but more so, it was a special occasion because Grandpa Hemmingway, was having New Year's at home rather than with the family and Grandpa would be celebrating his ninetieth birthday. As both sides of the family gathered together for this momentous occasion, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and nostalgia. This was not only a celebration of the new year, but it was a demonstration of how two families became so closely intertwined. The dining room was decorated with the festivities of the new year and a poignant occasion of Grandpa turning ninety. Joining them for this occasion was Danielle. Meeting her at the door, Marshall greeted her, pulling her in to him and placing a tender, passionate kiss on her soft, lush lips. "I'm glad you came," he said, holding on

With Marshall and Meghan away at university, the house was a lot quieter. Meghan was having a blast. Three months into uni life and she had made a few good friends. Lloyd, constantly kept an eye on her. Kevin, on the other hand, was forever hanging around, and Meghan, and he spent a lot of time together. Back in Cheshire, Michelle was having major health issues while Morgan was on the donor list for a corneal transplant. Michelle was suffering badly each month with her flow. The flow, heavier to the point of being bedridden most of each month with such excruciating pain that no amount of, normal, painkillers would suffice.One morning, on getting out of bed, the flow was so bad it was everywhere. James called Bradford, "Bradford, I need you and Camilla to come with me to the hospital," he said, anxiousness crawling through. "James, calm down. Tell me, what is going on?" Bradford pulled out of him. Explaining the situation, Camilla overheard and said, "We're on the way."On arri

A few days after the surgery, Morgan was permitted to leave the hospital. Exiting the hospital, he was told to wear broad, dark sunglasses to protect his eyes from the wind and the glare of both sun and light. Looking out before putting on his sunglasses, his words to his brother and parents were, "is the grass really this green?" Shocked by this statement, they suddenly realized that this child had not been seeing properly for most of his life. This brought tears to Camilla's eyes. In a second breath, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you have gray in your hair. Mom, you old." No one could help but laugh. Morgan was seeing things for the first time through eyes that were donated. Looking at this child, Marshall said, "hush, we do not tell mom that," he chuckled as he whispered in his brother's ear. "Don't worry babe, no matter how gray or wrinkled you get as we get older, you will always be beautiful to me," Bradford said. "It's okay babe, I think I will ship this mast

Looking around, Meghan noticed that many were drinking. In the distance she saw Lloyd. She noted that while his date was drinking alcohol, he had remained drinking juices throughout. Turning her attention to Kevin, she also noted that he was getting hammered on the booze. "Kevin, don't you think you've had enough to drink?" she asked gently, so as not to provoke him. Leading her by the hand, he led her outside. He handed her a glass of what seemed to be juice. "Come have something in your hand at least," he goaded her.Accepting the glass, she smelled it. "It smells like mango juice." She took a sip to refresh her pallet. He took her to a quiet, secluded corner of the garden in hopes that no one would see them.Back inside, Lloyd started scanning the room with his eyes. Not able to see where Meghan was, he began to stress. Standing up, he started to move away from the table. "Lloyd, come dance with me," the red-haired person suggested, noticing that Lloyd had lost interest in her
