Entering the building, she went directly to the reception."Good morning, could I please have an appointment with CEO Lucien Wright?" she calmly said, which earned her a raised brow from the two women behind the desk."Can I have your name, purpose of appointment, and contact number, Ma'am? I will get back to you once the CEO's secretary confirms your appointment" one of the women gave her a piece of paper, sporting a serious look."I'm sorry, but can I please see him now? It's just very important" she insisted, ignoring the scornful look on the women's faces."I'm sorry ma'am but everyone wanting to have an appointment with the CEO has urgent and important matters too" the woman casually retorted before going back to what she was doing."Please, Miss. It won't take long. I just want to talk to him then I'm off. Please tell him it's Alexzia Montes" she persisted. She can't leave without talking to Lucien Wright. She can't back down now."Miss Montes, the CEO

"He will be prepared for the surgery. Blood and several physical tests will be performed to ensure his body could endure the procedure. The specialists have already been informed and we are waiting for the confirmation of their availability. The soonest we could perform the surgery, the better for his recovery. Hopefully, it will be in time for his tests to be released. Waiting could be crucial for his frail heart" the resident doctor carefully explains after Lexie had settled the surgery payment. "Thank you, doctor. Please help us get the soonest schedule of the specialists" Lexie politely pleaded."Don't worry, ma'am. We are prioritizing the severity of the case and he is on the list" the young doctor warmly smiles."Thank you, doctor" she gratefully exclaims before he went out."Mama..." a weak soft voice made her rush to the bed."Hello, my dear Lucy..." she tenderly smiles while caressing the boy's pale face."I want candy..." the boy pursed

Watching the two hugging figures until they parted, Lexie stayed frozen on her feet."Mama!" Lucy raves upon noticing her at the door."Mama, papa has found his way to us. He is no longer lost in the crowd" Lucy continues and his words made her snap to the present.Blushing from the lame excuse she gave to her son, she cautiously glances at Lucien who is earnestly staring at her with his smug face. Though he looks like a mess with his tearful eyes."Are you happy, mama? Papa is here now. He made it" Lucy looks so ecstatic while his mother is grimacing from embarrassment. Lucien Wright's intense gaze is adding to her anxiousness."Of course, my love. I'm glad papa made it through the crowd" she mumbles as she fights the humiliation she feels."I told you, Papa will make it. I don't need to find him, he finds us first" Lucy continues to rave while Lucien tries to hold his small hands in his."And mommy Carla was right, I look like papa. Have you noti

"Good morning Director Lee, pardon me for calling this early. I want to talk to you regarding some urgent matter. I am here at Ace Hospital and I want to discuss the capacity of the hospital's facility to conduct pediatric heart surgery. I will be waiting for you in an hour. See you Director" Even before the break of dawn, Lucien had already made several phone calls, which is what Lexie woke up to. "Contact Dr. Miles and tell her I want her team not later than tomorrow" another call ended without the response from the other line."What are you doing in this holy hour?" with a hoarse voice from sleep, Lexie asks. She was disturbed by his voice despite it being low."Have you slept?" she added before he could answer."I had a nap..." he casually replies after pressing a kiss on her forehead. If Lexie was surprised, she tried to act cool upon seeing him go back to being busy with his phone. "How's your sleep?" he asks without turning to l

Lexie was startled when a group of people went inside the room following Lucien."Papa!" Lucy raves upon seeing his father but was suddenly becomes timid, noticing the other's presence. The three people were all earnestly staring at the boy who tries to hide his face by lowering his head."Hello, buddy...how are you?" Lucien tenderly asks as he cups the boy's face to look at him. "I'm great, Papa..." he whispers as he spares nervous glances at the visitors.Lexie, like her son, was anxious about the unexpected visit of the Wright family. She knew it would come but not this soon. After sharing polite smiles and nods the three focus their undivided attention on the boy who is now hugging his father's neck."I want you to meet some people...they are Papa's parents and sister" Lucien carefully told his son who is nervous around his visitors."Papa..." he whispers anxiously, burying his face to his father's chest."It's fine, buddy.
