Helen's POV"Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm here to tender my resignation letter." I said, outstretching the envelope containing the said letter.Fernando steered his gaze from my face to the letter, without collecting it, causing me to bristle with irritation."How's Ethan doing?" He suddenly asked, to which I scoffed."My son's life is none of your business, Fernando," I said. "I don't see why you're asking me that question like we're close friends when we're not." I spat, sidling past him to place the envelope on his desk."Helen, please let's sort this out. There's no use bearing grudges toward each other forever. Let's iron out this issue with maturity." His husky baritone came out in a rumble, as he grabbed my arm."Let go of me," I glared at him."Oh," He said, withdrawing his hand from my arm. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that."Ignoring his apology, I folded my arms across my chest and chortled mirthlessly."You want us to resolve this issue with maturity, huh?" I scoffed

Helen's POV"Oh, babe," Lucy cried as she pulled me into a bear hug. "I'm so glad that you're finally here."I could only weep harder as I buried my head into the crook of her shoulder.My entire body convulsed with dread as millions of scary thoughts raced through my mind, with the most prominent one being the thought of losing my son.I couldn't even imagine what I would do with myself if that happened.Although I hadn't expected him, Ethan had given my life a whole new meaning.He was the only reason I existed and got out of bed everyday.I was too far up in my head envisioning horrendous images that I didn't even realize that I had started hyperventilating until Lucy's voice rang in my ears."You're having a panic attack," She said, gripping my arms. "You have to stay strong for Ethan, alright?""Y-Yeah, I know," I nodded, still trembling slightly.Lucy regarded me for some minutes, worry tinged with pity evident in her eyes before looping her arms around me again."Let's go in,"

Fernando's POV "What's up, Roman?" I asked. "How are you doing? How's everything over there?""I'm alright and everything's good. How are you?" He inquired. "Have you managed to sort things out with my sister in law yet?"Scrubbing my face with my hand, I replied. "I'm just here. And by the way, she's not your sister in law anymore, Roman. Did you forget everything that happened?"My brother scoffed. "Of course, I didn't. I have an inkling that she will become my sister in law again very soon."I suppressed the urge to smile and only shook my head, while inwardly hoping that happened soon.But I knew the probability of a snail winning a marathon was far higher than Helen ever marrying me again.Hell, three days had passed since she resigned and rushed out of my office.Although I really wanted to visit Ethan at the hospital to at least know if what was wrong with him was serious, I held back from doing so, because I didn't want to worsen the already sour relationship between Helen an

Fernando's POV "Good day, boss," Paolo's voice boomed into my ear from the other end. "I've gotten the information."Last night, after the whole fiasco with Helen, I had called Paolo and asked him to find out about Ethan's sickness."Good," I said. "So what is wrong with him?""He has aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant immediately. Both Miss Crawford and her friend tested negative, so neither of them can donate their bone marrow to him." He divulged. "His condition keeps dwindling as the day goes by." Running my hands through my hair, I sighed as I thought about the kind of agony the poor boy was probably in.And yet, Helen wanted me to stand by and watch our son wither into nothing.God forbid something bad happened to Ethan while I was still alive and breathing.My mind was made up now.I would help Ethan whether Helen liked it or not.Right now, the most important thing was for our son to get well. After that, Helen and I would iron out our issues."Okay, thanks f

Helen's POV "How many hours has it been since the surgery started?" I inquired from Lucy, my gaze fixated on the "surgery in progress," that was displayed above the door of the operation theatre in red digital letters.The day of the transplant had finally come and although I was anxious about the whole ordeal, something inside me told me that everything would end well."It's been two hours, forty five minutes, and thirty seconds." Lucy muttered."The doctor said the surgery will take three hours max, so they should be out soon." I mumbled to myself, while frantically nibbling on my bottom lip.Before the surgery began, Fernando had reassured me that he would take good care of Ethan like he wasn't also getting operated on.It was probably the sedatives that had been talking. I thought, my lips spreading in a small smile.Then, the "operation in progress" light went off and I stood up abruptly.Doctor Nicole walked out first, her mask lowered to her neck, and her hair disheveled.Imme
