"I told Aunt Emilia to come, baby. But I'm sorry if our efforts didn't work out." Jeffry rubbed the top of Lyla's head as she lay in the hospital, staring into her father's watery, almost spilling eyes.It was not only Lyla who needed support at this time but also Jeffry. He desperately needed Emily to be by his side right now.Jeffry realized his mistake. He did not expect to be like a lion who surrendered to a lamb. He intended to hurt Emily, with the aim that Charles felt the pain he felt. A Lost.However, it seems he miscalculated everything. What he intended for Emily turned back on him.Jeffry is now trapped by the love that continues to gnaw at his heart. Even the desire to have Emily is no longer unstoppable. Especially after knowing how Lyla is, the only treasure he has at the moment.He only needs reinforcement for all conditions. He needs Emily to know that he still has someone who will survive and God will never take from him.Unfortunately, to prove that it's not easy for
Emily ventured to come to Charles and tell him how she felt about Jeffry. Charles had said he would not forbid her to have a relationship with Jeffry. Although it may sound as if Emily has eaten her words, this is for the sake of Lyla. Is it? Is it for Lyla or herself? Her egoism still doesn't want to be outdone, and she enjoys a happy life between her and Jeffry. It couldn't be just because of a little girl she had only met twice. Then Emily sacrificed her pride and changed her attitude to what she had said before. She had to do this, if not for herself, at least for Lyla. "Hm, you came again. It looks like you're starting to feel at home in this house since Jared no longer lives with us here," Charles commented when he saw Emily come in, still dressed neatly. "You didn't go to the office?" "I left work for a while. And yes, I did skip some work to visit someone in the hospital." Emily stopped her sentence, waiting for the right moment to say something else that Charles might ne
Emily watched Lyla from the large glass window that prevented her from grasping Lyla's tiny fingers. The girl must be in a lot of pain right now. However, there was no sound from her lips as she was unconscious. Jeffry hopes that Emily will still be able to see Lyla if tonight is the last night for the little girl. Meanwhile, he is now unable to see how the doctors are working to overcome his daughter's problem. He chose to sit a little further away from the room where Lyla was. Emily still couldn't believe that she had just met the little girl and decided to persuade Charles that the man had a chance to meet his granddaughter; what happened instead seemed to crush Emily's hopes for Lyla's recovery. "Jeff, there must be something we can do for Lyla, right? Jeffry, answer me!" Emily, who was beginning to panic—even more than Jeffry, even though Lyla was not her biological daughter—was now shaking the arm of the man just sitting there. Jeffry's eyes stared straight at the tiles benea
"Do a test on me, Doctor. I might be a match for Lyla. After all, I am her grandfather," Charles told Doctor John Armando when he was in the doctor's office to discuss his grandchild's problem.Charles deliberately took the opportunity to go to the hospital alone without Emma, as he was still at war with himself. He felt a battle between being sure and unsure when he decided to do this.On the one hand, Charles was still holding on to his ego and pride about Emilia and Jeffry's mistake of violating what he had set as a ban for both. But, on the other hand, he couldn't bear it if Lyla had to go through this alone.Charles knew that Jeffry would always be with Lyla through it all. However, Jeffry also needed moral support from all who should have given him consent. One of them was Charles, who was the cause of all of Jeffry's suffering.And again, Charles has heard how Jeffry loves and adores Emilia, his daughter, which makes Charles' heart melt instantly."I'm sorry, Mr. McKennel. A tr
"Mom, what's going on?" asked Emily, who had rushed in after Emma had called her. Unpleasant news, to be sure. However, Emma did not say it clearly. She only asked Emily to come over because she had something to say."Your father ... he decided to donate his marrow to Lyla. You know how Charles is. He has heart disease; what if—"Emily turned frantic instantly. She grabbed her cell phone and called Jeffry to help her look for Charles, who might still be around the hospital. Emily hoped that Jeffry would prevent whatever the middle-aged man was going to do.However, Jeffry's answer made Emily even more panicked."I only met him once, when he had just come out of doctor John Armando's office. But I don't know where he went after that. And I don't care."Emily then hurried away without saying goodbye because she didn't have time for that. The most important thing was that she needed to find Charles before he did something reckless.He could be desperate to do a test to find out whether h
Emily eventually decided not to visit Lyla too intensely, especially when it came to Jeffry. She felt it was enough to maintain the intensity of their meetings because Emily didn't want to feel hurt for the umpteenth time.However, she regretted her decision when she heard Lyla was having a bad day.The little girl's condition worsened, and the doctor couldn't be sure if Lyla would get better or if the whole family would have to let her go.Jeffry certainly didn't want that to happen. He defended his decision that Lyla should continue to receive treatment until a miracle came. Jeffry is still hoping for that.And when Emily arrived and hurried to leave, Jeffry stopped her. Just then, Charles watches from a distance, not wanting to interrupt what the man who was once his son-in-law is trying to do."Emilia, please. I don't have anyone else: just Lyla and you. You can ask anyone; I've never been this way with any woman after Emilia—I mean, Lyla's mom. You're the only one who makes me cr
It has been two days since Lyla regained consciousness, and she is in perfect condition. She has also been moved to a treatment room and will be evaluated in the next three days. If she gets better, Lyla will be allowed outpatient treatment subject to the doctor's advice and notes.And today, Emily decided to accompany Lyla for the whole day, especially since it was the weekend, so Emily could freely spend her time with the little girl.Even when Lyla fell asleep, she still held Emily's fingers, which made the woman feel touched.Emily was probably jealous of Emilia, even though she was gone. However, Lyla made Emily feel as if she was the little girl's mother. And Lyla's recovery made Emily's mind a little calmer. The proof is that she no longer silences Jeffry like a few days ago—because of her jealousy of Emilia.The two are now seen sitting across from each other, enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria while talking about things that won't make Emily wrong.Jeffry tries to explain
Shila had explained everything to Emily—everything she should have known from her best friend about why she followed Jeffry's orders to persuade Emily to marry him.Shila only wanted happiness for Emily and the same thing she was working towards.Similarly, for Jeffry, Emily, and Lyla, happiness matters to him."Aunt Emily, does this mean I can go home?" asked Lyla as she watched Emily pack up her belongings. "I don't want to stay here too long. I'm homesick, Aunt Emily."Emily turned around and caressed the little girl's cheek lovingly."Of course, you're going home, Lyla. You are well and will always be well. However, the doctor has stipulated that you must continue to take your vitamins and medicine regularly and obey papa's instructions, okay?"Lyla nodded and then turned her head towards the door where Jeffry stood and watched the interaction between Emily and Lyla from earlier.He then walked over to Emily, who had finished her busy work earlier, wrapped his arm around her waist
