Pamela was startled. She didn't know her grandma was already downstairs. Oh gosh! How could she not have known she was there until she startled her. "Nothing, grandma" Pamela forced a smile. She lied and Clarion knew it. But there's nothing she could say to prove her wrong. Before she could ask any more questions about her involvement in the rising again of the Hayden's group, Pamela stood up abruptly. "I'll be in my room" she declared and without waiting for Clarion's permission, she bowed slightly and went to her room. Clarion squinted. She's known Pamela for a few years already and can depict her mood. She's not in a good mood and she's not willing to share her feelings with her. Clarion shrugged. She might be having some hard challenges to sort out. She's a business consultant and definitely should know what to do and when to involve her and Tarvan. Freya had waited for Freddie to return home. She thought he would return after a few days and hence,she wasn't bot
Clarion wondered why Leah would visit so early without pre-informing her. But Leah wasn't looking good at all. It appeared she hadn't had a good night's rest, considering the dark lines below her eyes. Clarion came closer and asked "what a pleasant surprise, Leah" she declared, smiling. Leah can come to see her and Tarvan anytime, she's like a daughter to them. "Good morning Aunt Clarion. I haven't come to see you but Pamela. Would you please have one of the servants call her" Leah declared, not smiling nor standing up in courtesy. Clarion observed the facial expressions of Leah, it wasn't a pleasant one. She squinted and had the feeling that she didn't come for good, she's like someone who has a tassel to settle. But what does she have to do with Pamela, they had barely met once, which could probably be the reason for her wanting to see Pamela. Anyways, Clarion nodded and beckoned to one of the servants around and ordered her to tell Pamela to come downstairs immed
Pamela didn't take another step. She stood where she was with reddened eyes. If she had known that Leah was downstairs and she was the reason her granny sent for her, she wouldn't have come downstairs. She would have found a random reason not to. Clarion glared at Pamela with hostility and asked authoritatively "Was Leah saying the truth a while ago? You are Louis' ex wife and the royal quadruplets are Louis' kids? Is it also true that you were responsible for the sudden bankruptcy the Hayden's group experienced recently. Are all these claims true?" Clarion's words were being uttered distinctively and gently. She glared at Pamela as if trying to read her mind before she would ever give an answer to her questions. Pamela said nothing. Of course every single question her granny just asked her is true. But they were at the same time, her best kept secret. She looked away, her eyes reddened. She doesn't want to lock eyes with her granny. She sniffled and wouldn't look in
"I'm sorry darling. I can't just keep mute and let Pamela do whatever she likes, simply because she has become a princess overnight. Before she became a princess, when she was the Foster daughter of the Grayson's family, we had known her and took her in. I need to give her a piece of my mind. That's all I did and that's where I am coming from,"Leah explained. She hugged Ellis and seemed to sigh softly, placing her head on his torso. She's glad she has Ellis. He's her life and he's everything she ever desires. Until her seventh life, she would always choose Ellis as her husband and best friend. "You need to take some time off this stress. I am taking you for a vacation. Don't ask me where but get prepared, the day after tomorrow, we will be away from Oak City for a while", Ellis declared, planting a featherlight kiss on her temple. "What about our grandkids? We should get to meet them before leaving"Leah suggested. Those kids are more important to her than anything e
Clarion rushed after the nanny and went to find that Dora was laid on her bed. The little girl looked pale and sickly. The screaming and racing on the stairs made Tarvan Johnson come out of his study and went after them. One of the nanny had called the doctor. She was fidgeting. Dora had fainted twice in a week. What is wrong with her? A paediatrician was always checking on them on a weekly basis to ensure they are fine. She looked weak and sickly. She had always looked malnourished and unhealthy unlike her brothers. She was said to have an underlying illness. Clarion went to sit by her bedside and held her hand "Dora dear, open your eyes" she pleaded. As if the girl would hear her, she ran her hand over her hair as a lone tear fell off her eyes. Tarvan came over and held Clarion, telling her to move aside. She shouldn't get worried unnecessarily. The nannies stood by the sidelines, every one of them were waiting for the doctor to arrive. "What happened to her this
Louis Hayden wasn't expecting to see or meet Pamela just as he stepped out of the elevator with Miranda's hand in his. They paused and Pamela did the same. For some seconds, they both stared at each other and Pamela's eyes lingered down to his hands and she saw their fingers intertwined with each other. She looked past them to the elevator. The first impression she had of them at that moment was that they were lovers and had come over to cool off their lunch in each other's arms on a bed, behind closed doors. Louis Hayden didn't bulge nor let his hands off Miranda's. He was just focused, staring at Pamela's face. When she saw their hands, he saw her facial complexion flushed red. Next her eyes became reddened. He doesn't know what to think but he perceived she was jealous. A flash of jealousy appeared on her face. "Hello Miss Johnson" Miranda Alvan chimed. She tightened her grip on Louis' hand. Many women want to be the one he falls in love with. She can guess t
Her grandparents are both not of that blood group. Herself, she's not have that blood group. Now, their only hope is the hospital sourcing for it. An idea occurred to Pamela and she ordered that all the bodyguards be tested and the servants in the mansion. Half an hour later, all of the bodyguards and servants couldn't come out compatible with her. The doctors returned and said they the only donor that might be suitable for her was out of town. And his son who shared the same blood with his father has a heavy infection and cannot donate his blood. Dora has less than two hours left to be transfused. They are trying their best and hope everything comes out good. It was dark already. Clarion couldn't take it anymore. When she was alone with her husband and Pamela she suggested "I think Louis should be invited. His blood might be the same with his daughter's" Tarvan squinted. Louis which Louis was Clarion talking about? Before he could ask, Pamela replied "He's never been
The Johnson's replied to him warmly. But his parents were not pleased that he didn't say hello to Pamela. No matter what has happened, they can put that behind them and save Dora's life first. "What happened to my daughter, Pamela?" Louis asked and glared at the latter with an expressionless face. "She's in the intensive care unit. She's been diagnosed with Leukaemia and needs an urgent transfusion to keep her alive before proceeding to the next stage of treatment…"Ellis quickly chipped in. "I'm sorry dad, but I want Pamela to tell me exactly what happened to my daughter. We both are the child's parents, right?"he asked, but his eyes didn't blink once from staring at Pamela. Everyone was quiet. Louis was right. They are the child's parents and should decide what and how they want to save their daughter. Pamela sighed. She looked up at Louis, who stood a few distance and towered over her. "Dora my daughter is dying and we need your blood to save her" "She's not
