Cynthia, you don’t have to say all of that,” the first aunt said, shaking her head. “Don’t you think you’re being too harsh? I think you need to calm down a little?”Cynthia turned sharply toward her and narrowed her eyes.“Too harsh?” she repeated loudly. “Did you really just say I’m being too harsh? Wow. Have you forgotten what I went through? Or weren’t you standing right there when your sister’s husband insulted me in front of everybody?”Cynthia looked around at their faces and scoffed. “So now you all want me to pretend like it didn’t happen? You think I’ll just smile, open my bank app, and give away my money like it’s nothing? Just like that?”She stepped back and placed both hands on her waist.“Do you know how hard I worked to make my money? Do you know the sleepless nights I had? The jobs I had to do? And now someone from nowhere is begging me to just give it away? For what?”She looked at Jayla on the floor and laughed dryly.“If it’s that easy to make money, then you try
Chapter 78
Cynthia walked into the hospital slowly, looking all around with a frown on her face. She was clearly not happy to be there. Her eyes moved from one person to another in the waiting area like she was trying to avoid breathing in the same air. She looked uncomfortable, almost like she didn’t want to touch anything or even sit down.She spotted her mother standing with a group of other women, her aunties and she sighed loudly, dragging her feet as she walked toward them.“Mum,” she said in a loud, tired voice. “Why did you even call me here? I was in the middle of sleeping. Do you know how tired I am? I partied all night and my head is pounding. You could have just told me over the phone. Why drag me all the way here for this?”Her mum turned to her and gave her a warning glare. She leaned closer to her and spoke in a low voice.“Can you read the room for once? Just stop talking. Jayla’s dad is very sick. He’s in a serious condition. So if you don’t want to help, at least keep quiet a
Chapter 77
Nolan’s aunt slowly walked out of the doctor’s office with a face that looked pale. Her eyes were red and full of tears. She looked like someone who had just heard the worst news in the world. As soon as Jayla saw her mother, she quickly ran up to her.“Mum! What’s wrong?” she cried. “What did the doctor say? Please talk to me. What’s going on with dad?”But before her mother could even speak, Jayla’s two aunties, Nolan’s aunt’s sisters walked over too. Jayla had called them earlier on the phone to tell them something was wrong with her dad, so they had rushed over to the hospital.They all stood together in the hallway, staring at Nolan’s aunt as she stood there shaking.“Mum, please talk,” Jayla begged again, her eyes wide and full of fear. “What did the doctor say?”Nolan’s aunt took a deep breath, but tears still fell down her cheeks. She opened her mouth slowly, then said in a weak voice, “Your father has a very bad sickness. A cancerous tumor, in his brain.”Jayla gasped and

As soon as Jayla finished speaking with Nolan on the phone, she quickly called her mom, Nolan’s aunt. Her voice was shaky as she told her what happened and she couldn’t even speak without crying.“Mum, please come to the hospital. Something is wrong with Dad and I don’t know what’s happening. The doctors said they need you or Nolan to speak with them. Please come quickly.”Nolan’s aunt didn’t waste any time. She was at work when she got the call, but she immediately packed up her things and rushed out. Her hands were shaking as she got into a taxi. Her husband, the man who had always stood by her was in the hospital, and she didn’t even know why.She finally arrived at the hospital and saw Jayla waiting near the emergency section. Jayla ran to her with tears streaming down her cheeks.“Mom!” she cried, wrapping her arms around her tightly. “They’re not even letting me see Dad again. I don’t know what’s wrong. I asked so many questions but they just said I should call you or Nolan.
Chapter 75
Jayla was the daughter of Nolan’s uncle and aunt. She wasn’t his real sister, but Nolan treated her like his blood. They grew up together, and he loved her like family. So when he heard her crying on the phone, scared and panicking, it made his heart drop. It meant that something was clearly very wrong, and it made him afraid.Her voice was shaky from crying and her words were hard to hear.“Jayla,” Nolan said gently, trying to stay calm. “Can you calm down a bit and tell me clearly what’s going on? I need you to breathe and talk slowly. What exactly happened to Uncle? What’s going on right now?”Jayla sniffed loudly on the other end of the line. She was crying hard. “Okay… okay… I’ll try,” she said, taking a deep breath.“So I came home today, and I saw Dad lying down on the bed. He looked really pale, and he was sweating a lot. I got scared and asked him what was wrong, but he told me he was fine. He said everything was okay. So I didn’t push it. I thought maybe he had just done to
Chapter 74
When Manager Lee was sure that Eric had gone downstairs and the noise had stopped, he let out a long sigh. He walked up to the door of the penthouse and pressed the doorbell.Inside the house, Nolan was sitting down and drinking water when he heard the doorbell ring. He didn’t go to the door immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the small screen beside the door. It was a camera that showed who was outside.He looked at the screen and saw that it was Manager Lee standing outside. He looked calm now, not angry like before so he pressed the button and opened the door.“Come in,” Nolan said.Manager Lee stepped in quickly and bowed to Nolan.“I’m so sorry, young master,” he said. “I didn’t plan for this kind of thing to happen. The guards downstairs were supposed to be extra strict and no one should have been allowed to come to this floor without permission. They really failed today and because of that, I sincerely apologize.”Nolan walked into the living room and shook his hea
