"It's a beautiful name." Gemma squeezed her hand. "We will consider it." Livian agreed. "Thank you." She felt emotional. "I wish I was able to see little Liam with my eyes. It will mean the world to me if I'm able to sing him a lullaby and put him to sleep." "You will." Gemma leaned over to help her sit up. She then sat back down on her chair with Nana's hand in hers. "Grandma, you have to stop thinking about the negative side of life. I know you are having a difficult time and I totally understand it if you find it hard to be able to put up with what's happening, but you can't let it break you down. You are a strong woman, grandma. The strongest I have ever known of. And you have me." She caressed Gemma's face. She knew that the latter still felt awful about not being able to donate her kidney to her. Not that she would ever have accepted it. Constance arrived a while later, with a food flask in hand. William had to go back to

Livian came in from outside soon after she called for him. "There you are." She smiled. "Were you starting to miss me?" He joked and took her hand, spinning her around. "You look breathtaking." "Thank you." She let him take her hand and lead her to the dining room where the party had started. William poured them drinks and raised a toast. "To my first grandson." Constance echoed him, and Livian held Gemma's hand up. "To our first child. I hope there will be a second and a third, and…"Everyone burst into laughter, interrupting him. Gemma down

"I hope it is." She sighed. Waiting for the results made her feel more anxious than she did the day before and by the time they were out, she had not moved an inch. She had sat on the bench the whole time but her body trembled with nerves. Livian was still stroking her back and when the doctor arrived with the results, he stood to speak to him. "What does it say?" Livian asked. "Luckily, there aren't any signs of sleeping pills in her bloodstream." He reported. "That's a relief." they collectively let out the breath they had been holding. The doctor gave them a few reminders about being cautious and when they finally left the hospital, the first thing they wanted to do was find the head maid and interrogate her. In the car, Gemma thought of a possibility and grabbed her phone. "What if she runs away? She hid my food away when we found out that there could be something wrong with it."  "I had a fe

There was something strange about this place. Gemma after looking around. It didn't even look real. The grass was too green and the flowers had too little dimension to be true. What kind of world was this? She was yet to figure it out when she saw Nana in the distance. She cheered up and ran over to her. "Grandma!" Nana opened her arms wide to hug her but just as Gemma got to her, she faded like a puff of smoke. "Grandma!" She yelled with a jolt. She sat up and looked around, realizing with relief that it was just a dream. "Gemma?" Livian hugged her before she could process it. Her heart was racing at an insane speed and all she could do was rest her head on his chest as she tried to calm herself down. "It's just a nightmare." She spoke, but her voice was too shaky. "You're okay. It's over." He kissed her forehead and held her tightly in his arms. When she was calm enough, he asked, "Do you want

Gemma was sitting on a bench in the hallway when he arrived. He looked around and rushed over to her, gathering her in his arms. She had tears in her eyes and was on her own, which puzzled him. "What happened?" He asked. What was so urgent that Constance and William left her on her own? "Grandmother's condition became critical. Mother and father went to discuss it with her attending physician." She sniffled, holding his arms tightly for comfort. The situation must be much worse than he thought. "I was in a meeting earlier." He spoke after a short period of silence. She looked at him, knowing that he was trying to distract her from the distress she was feeling. "What happened?" She asked. It would be a relief to forget about it even for a few seconds. "I was meeting the COO of HC Group. Halfway through, a woman storms in and throws a tantrum, calling him out for cheating on her and getting his mistress pregn
