CHAPTER 31.

Lawrence’s POV. As I entered the bustling office building, my heart pounded with anticipation. I had finally arranged to meet Mr. Sharma, an Indian supplier, to discuss obtaining parts for the groundbreaking automobile my company was developing. Navigating through the corridors, I found Mr. Sharma's office and knocked on the door. "Come in," a voice called from inside. Stepping into the room, I was greeted by Mr. Sharma's warm smile. "Ah, Mr. Lawrence, I have been expecting you, it's good to finally meet you," he said, extending his hand. Returning the handshake, I replied, "Likewise, Mr. Sharma. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me." Taking a seat opposite him, I dove straight into the purpose of our meeting. "I'm here to discuss the parts I mentioned on the phone that we need for our new automobile design. I believe your company can provide the quality and precision we require." "Okay then Mr. Lawrence, go ahead." He said, and I started speaking. Mr. Sharma li

CHAPTER 32.

Camilla's POV.Stepping out of my office, I'm enveloped by the familiar scent of antiseptic that permeates the hospital corridors. Each step I take brings me closer to the heartbeats of those under my care. I wasn't supposed to be the one to carry out the normal daily check-ups, but I decided to do it today just to clear my mind.The pediatric ward is my first destination, a place where laughter echoes amidst the colorful drawings adorning the walls, a place where the little kids who were admitted were gathered.Just what I needed.Entering the ward, I'm greeted by a chorus of bright smiles and eager faces."Hello, Dr. Wilmer," They called out to me from different corners, with their baby voices. Tiny hands reaching out for reassurance. Some are curled up in their beds, clutching beloved stuffed animals, while others play with toys scattered across the floor. Each child has their own story, and their journey through illness, but they all share one thing in common, which is the re

CHAPTER 33.

Lawrence’s POV. The warmth of the water had soothed my weary muscles as I stood beneath the cascade of the showerhead, letting the steam envelop me like a comforting embrace. That day was no ordinary day. It was the day of the board meeting scheduled in India—a pivotal moment where the fate of our company hung in the balance. With each drop of water that cascaded down my skin, I had felt a renewed sense of energy coursing through me. As I stepped out onto the bath mat, I was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. I wrapped myself in a towel. I walked towards my wardrobe, selecting a tailored suit that commanded attention without overpowering. The fabric had glided over my skin as I dressed and fastened the buttons of my shirt. With my attire chosen, I turned my attention to grooming, meticulously styling my hair and trimming my beard until every stray strand was in place. In the mirror, I saw not just a man, but a leader poised to inspire and motivate. If only Camilla h

CHAPTER 34.

Camilla's POV.As I geared up for the surgery, a feeling of urgency filled the room. I had gone to visit George the night before, and I took some of his toys with me.As I sat next to his bedside, my heart ached to see him so sick and pale. His little face was drawn with discomfort, and his eyes held a hint of sadness that tore at my soul. I knew that the pain he was feeling would be ending soon.I would make sure of that.I reached out to his toy that was inside my bag."Hey, sweetheart," I said softly, trying to muster a cheerful tone despite the worry gnawing at my insides. "Look what mommy brought you." I held up his favorite stuffed animal, a worn teddy bear with floppy ears and a threadbare smile.His eyes brightened ever so slightly as he reached out to take the toy, cradling it in his arms with a weak but grateful smile. "Teddy," he whispered hoarsely, his voice barely above a whisper."That's right, honey," I replied, brushing a stray lock of hair from his forehead. "Teddy

CHAPTER 35.

Lawrence's POV.I stepped off the plane into the familiar terminal, exhaustion clung to me like a heavy coat. The journey had been long, filled with delays and cramped seats.At the time I got to the airport, there was no first-class seat available, so I had to join the economy, which I wasn't used to.I had no choice.All I wanted now was the comfort of my home.A company car arranged by Dylan was already waiting for me outside the airport.I got in and sat on the plush seat.The feeling of the tension of travel slowly melts away. The city rushed past outside the window, a blur of lights and movement. My thoughts drifted to the warm embrace of my bed, the familiar scent of home waiting for me.But then Camilla came into my thoughts too.It was already too late to go see her. By now she'll be heading home or already sleeping in her bed.I needed that too.Finally, I arrived at my doorstep. The key turned in the lock with a satisfying click, and I stepped into the quiet sanctuary o

CHAPTER 36.

Camilla’s POV.I sat with George curled up in my arms, his little body burning with fever. He felt so small, so light. His skin was hot against mine, his breathing shallow but steady. I held him tighter as if my arms alone could protect him from everything he was going through.He hadn’t spoken much all day. His usual spark, the endless questions, the cheeky smile, and the way his laughter used to bounce off the walls were all but gone. The fever had taken it from him. Still, when I looked down, I could see his eyes watching me, tired but filled with trust. He was holding on, and so was I.But tonight, there was hope too.We had found a donor. After months of waiting and praying and searching, we finally had a match. The relief had hit me so hard that I cried in the hospital hallway earlier, hiding my face so George wouldn’t see. For the first time in what felt like forever, the road ahead didn’t feel like a dead end.I decided to spend the night with him at the hospital. Mira was sta

CHAPTER 37.

Lawrence’s POV.We settled into the corner booth at the lounge, the kind of place with low lighting and smooth jazz playing somewhere in the background. Glasses clinked, people talked in half-laughs, and the air was filled with that particular hum you only hear in upscale places where everyone feels important.It had been a while since I met up with the guys. We were college friends, and over the years we had all grown into the kind of men we used to dream about becoming—smart suits, fancy watches, full calendars. Success looked good on us, but it also came with a quiet kind of loneliness that no one really talked about.“So, how’s the latest project coming along?” Jared asked, tipping his drink toward me.I leaned back in the seat, my fingers curling around the glass in my hand. “It’s going… slower than I’d like. There’s been a few roadblocks. But we’re adapting. That’s the game, right?”They nodded like they understood—because they did. We all knew what it felt like to pour your ti

CHAPTER 38.

Lawrence’s POV. I remember those sunny afternoons in the garden like they happened just yesterday. Every moment is still so clear in my mind. The grass always seemed greener back then. The sky bluer. The air carried the soft, sweet scent of blooming flowers. Everything just felt… lighter. Liana and I—my twin—would play for hours out there. That garden was our little world. We were kids, wild with imagination, turning rocks into treasure, trees into castles, and puddles into oceans. Mom would be on the porch swing, holding a book. She’d pretend to read, but her eyes were always on us. Watching. Smiling. Her presence made everything feel safe. Sometimes, she’d join in—helping us build a fort with cardboard boxes or pushing us on the swing till we touched the sky. "Mom, look at this!" Liana would call, holding up a daisy chain with a proud grin on her face. Mom would set her book down and beam at her. "That's beautiful, sweetheart! You're so talented." I’d grin too, puffing out m

CHAPTER 39.

Camilla’s POV.I left the hospital where George was admitted, feeling a little lighter than when I arrived. Visiting him had become a part of my daily routine. No matter how busy my day would get, I always made time to see him first. It was our thing.That morning, like always, I sat beside his bed and listened to him talk endlessly about his toys, his friends from school, his nurse Bridget, and of course—Mira."Mommy," he called softly, reaching for my hand."Yes, baby?" I smiled down at him."When do I get to see Mira?" he asked, his voice quiet but full of longing.My heart clenched in my chest. Mira had asked me the same thing earlier that morning. She missed her brother terribly. It hurt knowing that two people who loved each other so deeply had to stay apart like this."Very soon, baby," I said, brushing his hair gently with my fingers. I tried to sound cheerful, but inside I was breaking.George’s eyes started to water. "Or has she forgotten me?" he whispered, a single tear sli

CHAPTER 40.

Camilla's POV."You need to be in the office by 4 p.m. We’re having a meeting with the Director," Dr. Andrew had said on the phone.I had thought it was just a meeting between me, Dr. Andrew, and Lawrence. But then Lucy’s phone rang too—not from Andrew, but from a fellow nurse.Apparently, the Director wanted to meet all the staff. He said it was a way to know us better—and for us to know him.Lucy and I got into my car while she left little Brian in Lilian’s care.But deep down, I knew what this was really about.Lawrence.What was he up to?I was almost certain the only reason he bought Torrance Memorial was to get close to me again. Why else would he suddenly buy the hospital I work at, of all places?But then why this meeting? Why now, after all these weeks of silence? Why after I’ve been trying so hard to stay out of his way?He was definitely planning something. I could feel it.Traffic on the road was horrendous. Horns were blaring, cars stuck in place like statues. There was n
