Mary’s heart began beating fast.She held her phone tightly and forced a smile at Ree.“I’ll be right back. I need to answer this call.”Ree looked at her, noticing the sudden change in her attitude.“Is everything alright?”Mary nodded.“Don’t ask questions. Didn’t you say you were also hungry?”She gestured for Ree to sit.“Eat already. I’ll be right back.”She turned and left before Ree could stop her or say another word.Mary hurried down the hallway. She glanced at her phone and saw a missed call.She hesitated.Should I call him back? He called me.She stared at the screen, debating whether to call him back.Just then, the phone rang again.The sudden sound made her jump as the caller ID flashed on the screen.Her fingers tightened around the phone.Should I pick up? What am I doing?She muttered to herself, drawing in a deep breath before answering the call.She didn’t say a word.Neither did Alexander.Only the quiet sound of their breathing travelled through the line.“How ar

Barbra panicked.“Text me the hospital address. I will be on my way.”Just as the call ended, she walked into the living room where Cherry was seated and informed her about the incident that had occurred.She froze.“Oh my gosh,” Cherry exclaimed.“A kid called your son's house line. Does that mean he…”“Nonsense. My son can't do such a thing,” Barbra defended sharply.Cherry tilted her head.“Are you sure about that? Your son has a lot of admirers, and you have hooked him up with so many elite ladies.Who knows? Maybe something happened with one of them when he was drunk.”“Cherry, you better watch your mouth,” Barbra snapped.Cherry spread her hands innocently.“What did I say wrong?”“Your daughter-in-law is currently in the hospital because of that call, which is proof of your son's infidelity.”“He has a child outside his marriage, and this is a shame to the Lipton family.”“God saved you that Grandpa isn't here right now. If he were, he would drag your son home and force him to

Alexander sat in the car, his brows furrowed as he tried calling Mary again. No one picked up. His grip tightened around the phone. He closed his eyes and drew in a slow breath. “Drive faster,” he ordered, his voice cold and low. “Yes, boss.” David responded immediately and increased the speed of the car. A few minutes later, they arrived at the airport. Alexander entered through a private back entrance alongside his assistant. They quickly checked in and boarded the plane back to Philly that same night. The next morning, Barbara arrived at the hospital very early to deliver breakfast to Mary. When she stepped into the ward, she saw Mary sitting upright on the hospital bed, watching the television. The moment Mary spotted Barbara, she switched off the TV and rose to welcome her with a bright smile. Barbara smiled. “I can see you are getting better.” Mary nodded eagerly. “I told you I would be fine. I just needed some rest, that’s all.” “Well, I’m glad you’re alright,”

Grandpa Lipton and the rest of the family members rushed out to the scene.Cherry gasped in shock when she saw the shattered sculpture lying on the ground."What have you done?" she asked, her voice sharp with disbelief."Barbra, what has your son done?"She repeated the question, turning toward Barbra.Grandpa Lipton slowly walked down the stairs, his brows furrowed as he shouted,"What is going on here?"The living room fell silent. The air grew heavy as Grandpa Lipton approached where Alexander stood.Alexander didn’t look bothered. He stood there calmly, as if nothing had happened.Grandpa Lipton trembled with anger when he saw the broken sculpture scattered across the floor.His fingers tightened around his walking stick. His face flushed red as he pointed at Alexander."W…what have you done?""You rascal!"He raised his cane to strike Alexander.The entire family gasped in shock when Alexander caught the cane midair.His grip was firm."I am not here for drama," Alexander said c

Alexander and Mary entered the house, holding each other’s hands.Butler Brooks hurried to the front door with a warm smile. He bowed his head respectfully and greeted them.“Young Master, Young Miss, welcome back.”“Thank you, Butler Brooks,” Mary replied with a gentle smile.“How are you feeling, Young Miss?”“I am very well, thank you,” Mary said, her smile bright and reassuring.Alexander’s phone suddenly began ringing in his pocket. He pulled it out and glanced at the screen. An unknown number.His brows creased slightly.Mary turned toward him, unaware of the change in his expression.“I will head upstairs.”Alexander nodded.Mary walked away with Butler Brooks.Alexander stared at the phone screen, his brows furrowing deeper.Who could this be?He dialled the number back, but no one answered.Alexander rubbed his temple before slipping the phone back into his pocket. Then he headed upstairs.When he entered the bedroom, he saw Mary already lying on the bed. She had drifted off
