Arabella took Axel to the hospital. While he was being examined by the doctor, Arabella and Adrian waited outside his room. Arabella sat forward, fidgeting with her nails, while tapping her leg gently on the floor. Adrian stood across from her for a while. Then walked closer, squatting before her. He reached for her hand, but Arabella sat back, looking into his eyes. “You know everything happening to him is your fault, right?” Adrian nodded. “I know. I'm sorry.” Arabella blinked back the tears in her eyes. “Do you think she hit my child?” She swallowed. “Do you think they tortured him those four days he was stuck with them?” Arabella couldn't control her tears now. Adrian swallowed. He didn't know the answer either. But he had to be the strong parent. He caused this whole problem in the first place. “Don't worry, Arabella. I will make them pay.” He sat beside her, pulling her into a hug as she cried. A little while later, the doctor invited them to their office. “Ye

When they returned home the next morning, Catherine was waiting for them at the door. “My baby, come here.” She spread her arms urging Axel for a hug.Axel walked closer. She pulled her into a hug and then started to check his body. “Are you feeling better now? Feeling any discomfort? What did that bitch do to you…” Arabella pulled Axel away from her grasp.“He needs to rest.” She signalled a maid to take him to his room. They left.“I know you’ve never really cared about how you speak, but from now on, mind your language around him.” Arabella warned her. Catherine didn't talk back or get angry. Even she was finally beginning to realise what a toxic environment she’d made her grandchild grow in. “I will keep that in mind,” Arabella walked off, heading towards the kitchen. When Adrian walked past, Catherine spoke. “You've changed.”Adrian halted but didn't turn back. “You’ve become so devoted to her and don't even care how she talks to me.” “You're right. I’ve changed.” A

“V, can you help me with one of your family maids to care for Axel for a while?” Arabella asked as she walked into their shared office, dropping her bag on her side of the desk. “I need someone I can trust to be in charge of his daily needs when I am not around.” Vera laughed, not looking up from her laptop, “I thought you took the nanny job because you were superwoman. Now you're looking to outsource?” “I’m serious, Vera.” “Fine. I will send Auntie over to your place later.” She replied, “But I will still be paying her. I want to do something small for my Godson.” Arabella just nodded. “Fine. Whatever.” Arabella sat on her seat, and didn't say anything further. Ten minutes passed. Nothing. Vera finally raised her head from what she was doing on her laptop. Arabella was just rocking her chair back and forth while constantly looking at her watch. “I thought you came to see me today, who knew you came for Chadwick.” Arabella sighed, “Don't worry sweetheart

Ivan's Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, staring down at her. Arabella’s eyes were wide. Beautiful. But something about the way she stared and the way her finger traced his skin made him uneasy. His heart raised fast. ‘What’s going through her mind? Why is she staring at me like that?’ Arabella moved. Ivan's breath caught. The towel wrapped around his waist had loosened. Panicked, he pushed her back gently, slammed the door shut before her. His towel fell right then. “Pew…that was close.” He let out a sigh of relief. Outside the door, Arabella had snapped back to her senses, but instead of feeling shy or embarrassed, she was surprised. She found her finger on her lips, ‘He didn't even try to kiss me?’ ‘is he that much of a gentleman, or…?’ She shook her head. “Focus Arabella, he’s a patient.” She mouthed. She knocked the door again, her voice following gently. “Ivan, are you alright?” She tried to keep her voice steady like nothing just happened. Because…nothing

Adrian stood frozen as Ivan walked past him towards Arabella. The voices around him blurred out as he watched them hug. Ivan said something that made Arabella laugh and hit his chest.“Stop, you’re so silly.” She giggled. Adrian's jaw tightened.The excitement that had been on his face earlier had completely disappeared with Ivan’s presence. Just as they finished whatever they were whispering to each other, Adrian grabbed Arabella’s hand. “Let me talk to you briefly.” He pulled her aside. Leaving Axel and Ivan staring at each other in silence. “What is he doing here?” Adrian's voice was clipped. He tried to hide his anger but failed. “Oh, you mean Ivan?” Arabella asked nonchalantly. “He’s my new assistant.” Adrian's brow raised, “What? Your assistant? How can he be your assistant? What about Chloe?” “Chloe has a lot to do at the company now, so I hired someone else. Any problem with that?” Adrian was still pissed. “And it was HIM? Why didn't you tell me?” Arabella raised
