Author's POV ~Emily looked up at Ethan as they walked back to the waiting area. Ethan heaved a deep breath, feeling relieved he'd found Emily. If he hadn't found her, he'd have driven himself crazy with worry about her well-being and whereabouts. As they approached the waiting room, the tension in the air began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of anticipation. As Ethan settled into the worn chairs, Emily snuggled up against his side, and waited.The minutes ticked by, each one feeling like an eternity. Ethan checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time, his mind racing with anxious thoughts. He could feel several knots formed in his stomach as each thought spiraled into a darker possibility. His heart pounded in his chest as he struggled to calm his imagination. Even as he managed to keep calm, he couldn't help but think about the outcome of the surgery.What if the transplant doesn't work? What if Eric's body rejects the new bone marrow? What if Scarlett's donation

Author's POV ~As Charlotte sat down beside him, he barely registered her presence. He was too lost in his thoughts, nursing his whiskey as he stared blankly at the TV screen.Ethan took another sip of his drink as he adjusted himself on the velvet stool. His vision was a little blurry and his mind was extremely occupied that he had no clue Charlotte was the lady sitting beside him. He didn't recognize her at first, too lost in his thoughts. But as she leaned in closer, he saw her face and his expression darkened. It was Charlotte, Scarlett’s sister and the same lady who'd worked with Jasmine with framing her.He rubbed his eyes and creased his brows, his face twisting in rage and curiosity. When she noticed his intense gaze on her, she locked her lips and took his silence as an invitation to engage. She smiled warmly, her eyes locked on his, and said, "You look like you've had a long day. Want to talk about it?"Ethan didn't even glance her way.He clenched his fists and tore his ga

Author's POV ~Scarlett called Ethan and Emily's names once again but there wasn't any response. She walked over to their room and opened the door gently. There, she saw Eric and Emily engaged in a deep discussion as they played with their toys. Eric chuckled as he sprawled on his bed, a large dinosaur in his hand while Emily sat up on her bed, her hands wrapped around her knees. There were several dolls in front of her. Scarlett figured they'd long been awake and had chosen to play with their toys instead of coming out of their rooms.Scarlett smiled as she set the tray down on the table."Eric, Emily, let's eat," she said, forcing a bright smile, trying to keep her voice steady.The twins upon hearing her voice sprang to their feet and scurried towards her “Good morning, mom!” Emily greeted with excitement, her teeth visible through her warm smile.“Morning Emily. Morning Eric. How was your night?” Scarlett asked, planting a kiss on their foreheads.“Our night was fine, mom!” The

Author's POV ~Charlotte smiled briefly as she watched Jasmine nod, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination. She took a deep breath, hoping that Jasmine would try to forget Ethan. Silence stretched for a while, and Jasmine broke the silence by asking about the men she was going on blind dates with."So, who are these men your father has been setting you up with?" Charlotte asked, her curiosity piqued.Jasmine shrugged, her shoulders barely moving. "They're sons of my father's business associates and partners. I don't really know much about them, but I'm sure they're all nice guys," she said, her voice lacking conviction.Charlotte nodded, her expression understanding. "Your dad knows what's best for you, so I'm sure he'll find someone great for you," she said, trying to sound supportive.Jasmine sighed, her eyes dropping to the floor. "I know, it's just...one of them seemed really interested in me, but I just can't seem to feel anything for him," she said, her voice ba

Author's POV ~That evening, Scarlett's friend, Leslie, who'd come to visit her, was ready to leave and head back home. She'd come to visit her just to see her son Eric, who had recovered from his bone marrow surgery. As she got on her feet, Scarlett's four-year-old twins, Eric and Emily, ran towards her, asking if she was already leaving."Are you leaving, Aunt Leslie?" Eric asked, his big brown eyes looking up at her with concern.Leslie smiled and knelt down to their level. "Yes, sweethearts. I have to go home now. But I'll come visit you again soon, okay?" she said, giving them a warm hug.The twins nodded, seeming to accept her departure. "Can you help us greet Piper?" Emily asked, referring to Leslie's daughter who was around the same age as them.Leslie smiled and nodded. "Of course I will. When I get home, I'll make sure she calls you both.” she said, taking their hands.As they walked towards the door, Leslie turned to Scarlett and said, "I'll be going now. Thanks for having
