Raphael laughed at him. He walked closer at Alexander and grabbed him on his collar. He leans closer near his ears and whispered something.
“Yes, money ruled us, right? That’s why you sent your son Gale and now Kent abroad to marry a rich girl to protect your company, am I correct?” Raphael replied and Alexander throws the white envelope with money on it on the ground.
“Yes! Morey is my life! So what? I’m not like you, Rafael, loser! Get it and tell your leech daughter to stop dreaming that my son loves him!” He said and left Lucy’s dad kneeling on the ground to get the envelope.
Mr. Stone offered Lucy a one million dollars compensation for stop ruining his son’s life and to be out on their way forever. Since Lucy loves Kent so much, she didn’t get the money.
Rafel quickly ran away to get out of this empty place until he finally went. home.
He prepared his baggage to hide somewhere else from the thugs. He didn’t want her daughter to get hurt so he is planning to run away with the money he had so that they won’t be coming back and forth to look for him at their house.
He’s too busy packing his things when he realized that Lucy didn’t come out of her room yet. Raphael walked slowly near her room and called her name.
“Lucy, are you in there?” He shouted outside her door but it seems like nobody was there so he twisted the knob if it’s open but he rattled to know that it’s locked.
Raphael began to panic.
“Honey, just answer me! Don’t do anything stupid, okay!” He said it again but Lucy was not answering.
He pushed the door with his heavyweight but it won’t budge so he quickly went to the kitchen to get a hammer. He doesn’t know what to do so he started to hit the doorknob with it until it’s broken. Finally, he managed to open it and hastily went inside to look for Lucy and horror came on his face to his daughter inside the bathroom with her bloody hands.
Raphael trembled to see his dead-like daughter.
“Lucy? What did you do?” He said and quickly carried her out from the bathroom.
He checks her pulse and it’s not responding. Raphael had no choice but to brought her to the hospital. Lucy must survive. She’s still young and the world has many surprises that she still didn’t experience.

Makati Hospital
Lucy was been brought to their nearest hospital while her father Rafael wasn’t sitting still on his chair outside the emergency room. His psyche wasn’t at a good pace at all since his daughter was in critical condition. He keeps cupping his head and sometimes he asks the nurse if everything was fine. This daughter is very precious to him so he won’t forgive himself if something bad will happened to her especially the Stone family. Alexander wasn’t still satisfied with the life they had. Raphael clenched his fist and told himself that if anything or anyone will harm his daughter, he won’t just look and sit to watch it, he is going to take action now.
As he went back and forth to the hallway, at last, the doctor came out from the emergency room. Raphael quickly asked him about Lucy.
“How’s my daughter? Is she okay? He said.
” She’s lucky, the artery wasn’t damaged at all so we managed to revive her again. Don’t worry sir, she’s fine now.” A gasp of relief came out from his mouth.
“Thank you, doc.” He said and check her over the window. He smiled to see her sleeping soundly. His daughter is safe so maybe it’s time for him to say goodbye.
He decided to leave a letter beside her after paying the hospital bills. He can’t be with her forever or else her life will be as miserable as him.

Someone taps her shoulder and when she looked back Gregory came back. She’s been out for the whole night and she had no idea how time passed by.
She quickly fixed her messy hair and stood up to clean herself in the restroom. She just woke up and she smells stinks and it’s too embarrassing.
Gregory painted a grin on his face to see her acting like that.
Lucy splashed herself with cold water from the sink and comb her hair. She found a clean small towel inside so she took it and dried her wet face. She opened her bag to get her lipstick and put it on her lips. She checks herself in the mirror again and she felt relieved to see her face. She went outside and Gregory can’t take off his eyes on her.
He can’t hide the fact that even Lucy just gave birth one week ago, she’s still stunning and glowing. I wonder why Kent is still in love with her.
” Hi, I’m sorry, maybe I’m exhausted about everything so I sleep a lot!” She mumbled while checking her father.
“It’s okay. I know you had a hard time so I decided to stop by.” He replied.
