All Chapters of Once Rejected, Now Desired. : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Wow! That was close! I hadn't expected the crowd. Oh no! I didn't get this from the Kingstons," Helen said after Senator Jerry had left with his security escort. Her heart was still pounding so loud in her chest. Mrs. Rosemary smiled at her daughter and replied, "It's fine, Helen. What matters is that you saved your father's life." "Alright, Mom," Helen breathed out heavily. Just then, she got a message alert that her food had arrived, but she was nervous to leave the hospital room. "I will help you to get it, sister," Patrick offered as he was relieved to see his father was fine and better. The physiotherapist doctor had come to check on him and said he would resume his physiotherapy the following day before he got discharged from the hospital. Helen was grateful as she gave her older brother her phone to receive the two meals that she had ordered. She ordered one for him and for herself since her parents had already eaten. She saw that her father's illness had taken a toll on Pa

Meanwhile, Stacey walked out of the kitchen after she was done setting up dinner. She walked up to meet her husband and asked him, "Honey, aren't you being too harsh and judgmental on Samuel? I asked him why he helped the Roberts' family heiress, and he said that he just helped her because she's more intelligent than him and the one who scored the highest in his pharmaceutical department." "And you believe him? This explains to you why you should warn him to stay away from that family's daughter. Mr. Henry Roberts has fine medicines, even if they don't work as actively as ours; they're still potent and sold at a cheaper rate. I've warned Samuel. If I get to find out that he's dating that Roberts' daughter, I'll deal with her on my own." "Honey, you won't commit any crime. What will you do to her?" Stacey asked, looking at her husband's face worriedly. "That's left for me to do. Just warn Samuel not to disclose our business to other families. I'm not stopping him from continuing his

The next day, Helen woke up in the hospital and prepared to leave for her hostel at the Avalon's university. "Mom, I'll get going to the university," she said, as she gathered her bag to leave. She was happy to see that her father was recuperating better, as her mother gave him a spoonful of the potent stroke medicine. "Helen," Mr. Robert called, drawing his daughter's attention as he sat on the hospital bed and watched her gather her things. "Yes, Dad," Helen replied, turning to look at her father. "Don't forget the advice I gave you. Get close to Samuel Kingston and learn how he made those potent drugs. I have a feeling that he's the one who has made that medicine, and not his father. Is that understood?" Mr. Henry asked, his voice calm but stern, and Helen gave a polite nod. "Okay, Dad. I have to go now," Helen had changed into a brown dress, as she didn't have time to take a bath in the hospital. She hadn't had her breakfast either. Before she left, Dr. Peter arrived, dressed

"No, wait, Samuel. Shadrack isn't my boyfriend. He was just asking me about the medicine that you made, and I told him that I didn't know who made it," Helen said, as she tried to stop Samuel from walking away. Samuel froze and turned to look at Helen's face. "Who told you that I was the one who made the medicine? Haha!" He laughed coldly, and she felt a chill run down her spine. Helen braced herself and said, "I'm sorry. I understand that you don't want the majority of us to know about your talent. But Chancellor Katherine already told me. Please, I won't tell anyone. I just want to thank you for saving my father's life. But Shadrack and I are not in a relationship." "Mmm..." Samuel scowled as he listened to what Helen said. "I'll keep this picture for reference purposes. You know that John and you are not on good terms. So you better keep off from his brother." "I will. Thank you," Helen said, and Samuel turned to walk away, not wanting to discuss anything related to the medicine

Tasha frowned when she heard Helen saying that she held no grudge against Samuel. She let go of Helen and said, "Alright. You are welcome back."Helen saw that Anita and Bridget didn't want to welcome her back. They sat on their beds, turning their backs on her.Likewise, Helen ignored them and pulled out the new clothes that she was going to wear. She then went to take a shower again. Her mind was filled with thoughts of focusing on her education since Samuel Kingston didn't want her friendship anymore.After her bath, Helen returned to her room and got dressed. She then went to the cafeteria to get her lunch. This time, as the Avalon University students spotted Helen, no one insulted or mocked her. They made way for her to pass, as if she were royalty, while she went to purchase her meal.When the four female students who had insulted Helen saw her stepping out of the cafeteria building, they hurried to corner her, their apology letters in their hands."Miss Helen, we are truly sorr
