The accident was tragically fatal. It's so late at night and the driver took a deserted road.Elle is the one who manages to open her eyes, but once she sees her mother's lifeless eyes staring at her, she knows that it's over. She can't even cry, she can't even move more than a finger. She knows that her dear mother is gone, but what about her brothers?“Ja..mes..” she uses all her strength to call out, but it sounds like the weak squeaking of a mouse. “Brian…” She hears some laboured breathing and when she moves her eyes to the left, she sees Brian bleeding from his head, but he is very much alive and stronger than her. “Elle!” He calls out, tries to reach out to her, but he whimpers in pain. It seems that his right hand is broken. “Stop… moving…” she begs him. “You are… going to… hurt yourself.” “I will get us all out of here, don't worry. We are going to catch that flight. We are going to go back to our farm.” Elle feels a tear drop roll down her cheek. How can she tell h

Leon goes over to the Jones family hospital because it's been a week since he last saw his fiancee, MJ. When he gets there, he finds her in the surgery room, performing a quick surgery on a new born baby, while almost twenty student doctors standing around her with maximum attentiveness. Leon watches her through the glass with a proud smile on his face. He can't believe that she is going to be his wife very soon, it's like he has won the jackpot. “She's good, isn't she?” Leon turns to see Cameron standing next to him, hands deep into his pockets. “I'm not saying this because you are her friend, but what do you think of her skills?” Cameron doesn't take his eyes off his sister. “She's excellent.” Leon admits. “I've been in the surgery room with her, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeves.” Cameron snickers with the pride of a brother. “She is getting promoted very soon. She made me promise not to show her any special treatment, but she is just too good to remain an assistant

“I'm sick and tired of these people!” Selina complains in the bedroom. Damien closes the door as he angrily pulls his tie off. “I know, so am I.” “You should have gotten rid of them when we had the chance! They piss me off, especially your mother!” Damien growls under his breath. He hates that Rita is his mother, but he can't change biology. “I told you to get rid of them as soon as they appeared, but you refused! Do you know how dangerous they are? They could get to the paparazzi and if everyone finds out that you have an entire family out there, do you realize that we will never get back the Shankly empire?!” “I know that, Selina, don't you think I know that?!” He raised his voice at her. The truth is that they are both frustrated by the situation, and they don't know what to do. Selina sits at the edge of the bed, going over all the options that are in her head. “I think I have a plan, but I don't think you will like it very much.” Damien tells her. “Well, will it get rid

Selina goes at her husband and gives him a swift slap across his face. Damien doesn't even try to stop her because he knows why she is angry. Helen told him that she was going to expose his adoption to the world, but he didn't believe that she would. He didn't bother telling his wife because he didn't think Helen would have the balls to do such a thing, but apparently , she did. She took his adoption certificate to the news people herself and gave them everything they needed to bring him down, and God, were they brutal. He was in his office when he got the news and as soon as he did, he felt the ground falling under him. His hands were shaking and his breath breaking. That's it, he is going to get kicked out now. He imagines himself going back to the countryside with his siblings and their druggie of a mother. He is too soft to be a farm hand, how will he survive? Selina is pregnant with twins, are they all going to become farmers now?He decided to pick up his key and seek

“News getting to us is that there seems to be trouble in paradise in the Shankly family. Mrs Selina Shankly, who is also heavily pregnant, reportedly fainted once she heard the news that her husband is adopted. Apparently, she missed it when it aired on the news just a few minutes before…” Selina was rushed straight to her family's hospital and Leon is the only one who is mandated to attend to her, because she is his personal patient. Leon did his job, stabilized her and went to run some tests. When he comes back to the private hospital room, he meets Selina sitting in the bed and holding the remote. Her husband's exposure is what's all over the news right now. Her eyes are heavy with tears, but she is still watching the television. “Selina, I don't think that you should be watching this.” Leon walks over to the wall to turn the television off, but Selina stops him. “Leave it.” She says. “I have to know everything they know.” Leon knows she is sad, but because she asked, he ha

“You are very funny, Mister Kane.” Leon snorts. “You think that I am lying?” Kane says. “No, I think you are too healthy for someone who has cancer. Even with your scars, you look perfectly fine to me.” Alex sits on the edge of the bed. “Well, that's what money gets you. I have been sick for almost all my life, and my parents spent a lot of money trying to cure me, their only child.” So, that's where all the scars came from? Leon takes a stethoscope and goes on to examine Alex, and after just five minutes, he finds out that he is not lying. “How is this possible?” Leon mutters. Alex must just be the healthiest cancer patient that he has ever seen in his life. For the first time in a while, the miracle doctor is bewildered. “Why do you look surprised?” Alex chuckles. “Don't act like you don't even feel the tiniest joy in this.” “Why am I supposed to feel joy?” Leon asks. "I am a doctor, and I hate that the world has to be sick."“I killed your boss' family. Let's not pretend
