We will have to move you to another room." The doctor implied.Claudia refused and stood her ground on going home.

"Daniel, I'm okay," Claudia said, hoisting herself onto the bed to take a seat.Mr. Markson felt uncomfortable with Daniel being there and couldn't bear to look at him any longer. "Sweetheart, I'll be back in a moment," he told Claudia as he got up from his chair.Claudia gazed at her husband and nodded in response.Laura was pissed at her Dad's reaction but managed to conceal her feelings. Mr. Markson left the hospital room as he walked past Daniel without uttering another word. Daniel thought to himself, his face contorted in anger as he gazed at Mr. Markson, "You've got to be kidding me if you think I came here to visit you guys. I'm only here to ensure I take my wife back home with me.""Daniel, please have a seat, Laura said, staring at her husband Daniel. Daniel shrugged, "No, my dear, I will soon be taking my leave. Can I see the doctor? I want to settle the hospital bill." He requested"Don't worry about that Daniel, my husband will take care of that," Claudia interjected.I
He couldn't find the courage to tell Laura about the agreement he made with Daniel Edward, which ultimately caused his family's downfall and suffering.Mr. Markson's expression was so troubling that Laura felt compelled to ask if something else was bothering him."Dad, is there something else on your mind? You seem lost, and I'm starting to think you're keeping something from me," Laura confronted her dad with a serious look.With his voice shaking, Mr. Markson dismissed it. "No, my dear, I'm fine. Let's go check on your Mom," he suggested, getting out of the car.Without hesitation, Laura agreed, "Yes, let's."As they returned to the hospital, Laura informed her dad that Daniel was on his way, but Mr. Markson didn't seem pleased."She invited him here? They must be really getting along. That manipulative jerk!" Mr. Markson thought, clenching his fist.Mr. Markson disliked Daniel Edward coming to the hospital because they never got along.

Laura picked up the phone call immediately. "Hello, Daniel." She answered, her voice tense."Hey Laura, I'm just coming back from the company, are you still at your parents' house?" Daniel inquired, taking off his suit. Laura went ahead to tell him that she was at the hospital with her dad. "My Mom had a cardiac arrest and we are at the hospital right now." She explained worriedly."What happened? She sounded just fine this morning." Daniel piqued. With a nod, Laura answered, "We were having a conversation in the living room about Bryan and suddenly, she began to act strange and fell to the floor. With the help of my dad who arrived immediately, we were able to rush her to the hospital." Laura stated, exhaling deeply.Feigning to care, Daniel asked, "How is she doing right now?" "She's still in the emergency room but she's awake," Laura answered. "Alright, I'm coming to the hospital right now," Daniel revealed. Laura was feeling uneasy about Daniel meeting her parents due to their
Stunned, his eyes widened in shock, "What?" Mr. Markson exclaimed, quickly climbing down from his car as they both rushed into the house.Swiftly, he carried Claudia in his arms and took her into the car. "Get in!" He shouted, gesturing with his hand to Laura as she looked confused and shocked.Mr. Markson kicked the car immediately and took off, heading straight to the hospital. "Mom, wake up!" Laura kept calling out to Claudia, stroking her shoulder. Claudia was already unconscious and didn't move a finger."Laura, what happened?" Mr. Markson asked, speeding up. "We were having a conversation about Bryan and suddenly, she began to scream 'My chest!!' and fell to the ground.Mr. Markson shook his head, he was lost and confused, "I don't get you Laura, I'm actually confused right now. And besides, where is your brother?" He questioned. Laura didn't want to make the situation worse by explaining everything to her dad so she decided to stop the conversation immediately."Dad, please, le
Laura was getting ready to leave the mansion, and Daniel was too. "I'm leaving, Daniel," Laura said, picking up her handbag and preparing to exit the room. As Daniel packed some documents into his briefcase, he glanced at Laura and reminded her, "Make sure you come home soon," sounding authoritative.Laura nervously nodded her head, forcing a smile before departing. "Sure thing, boss," she muttered, rolling her eyes dramatically as she descended the stairs. Even though Laura and Daniel had gotten close, Daniel was still bossy, which made Laura feel uneasy.When Laura got to her parents' house, she swiftly went into the house to see her Mom, "Mom!" She called out upon entering the house. "I'm in the kitchen Laura!" Claudia answered. Laura navigated to the kitchen immediately to meet her Mom."Hey, Mom," Laura whispered, her voice carrying a hint of sadness as she wrapped her arms around her mother. "I'm glad you're here, Laura. How's Daniel?" Claudia asked, turning to look at her daugh
Laura was interrupted suddenly by her mom's phone ringing. "My mom's calling again, I have to answer this," she said, reaching for her phone on the left. Daniel, showing a mix of anger and curiosity, forced a smile and nodded."Hi Mom," Laura replied calmly. Claudia immediately began to tell Laura how Bryan, her brother, had left the house. "Laura, your brother has left the house," she said. Laura's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?" she exclaimed, feeling confused."What do you mean he left?" Laura asked, dropping her cutlery onto the tray. "We had a disagreement, and he just up and left. Your brother's being so stubborn lately, he's completely out of control, Laura!" Claudia exclaimed, frustration racing through her."That boy has completely crossed the line! How can he be so irresponsible? After everything that's happened, he won't even reconsider his life choices?" Laura lamented, her voice filled with tension.Sitting beside her, Daniel signaled for Laura to calm down and take it
Bryan pushed himself up from the bed, his heart racing as he hastily stuffed a handful of clothes into a small bag. "Mom, please, just let me go," he pleaded, his voice strained with emotion. "Wherever I end up, I'll be okay." He paused, taking a deep, shaky breath.Claudia shook her head in disappointment, her tone firm. "No, Bryan, you're not going anywhere. Haven't you caused us enough trouble already? You really need to get it together!" She exclaimed, her frustration evident.Unfortunately, Mr. Markson wasn't home when all of this unfolded, leaving Claudia to deal with the situation alone. She did her best, but Bryan was being particularly challenging. "Do you even care how your dad would react to this?" Claudia exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration and anger."I don't care, Mom! And besides, he's not even my real dad!" Bryan interrupted, his tone disrespectful. Claudia's frustration boiled over, and she slapped him. "How dare you, Bryan? How dare you raise your voice at me
