Been a month since he was hospitalized here in Mainland City. He is a little better with the medication Dr. Helen giving him, but this is not enough to stay alive.The least, he could now walk around the hospital and to the garden outside, sometimes he goes to Dr. Helen"s clinic to play with Ca.s.sandra.
Rudolf been silent when they were around and just keep playing with his tablet, totally ignoring them which convenient for him.
The Young family tried everything to prepare him for his trip to the US. Landon Young flew ahead to take care of his adoption then meeting the doctors who will hold his case to discuss what will gonna happen.
Hannah told him that he needs to go back to the US to undergo the procedure of his operation. He cried because he doesn"t want to go back to that place.
"Quinn..." Ca.s.sandra stared at him confusingly. She was touching his face.
He cried because he doesn"t want to be parted from her.
"Quinn..." Ca.s.sandra keeps calling his name. He wipes his tears then played with her until she falls asleep on his arms.
"Do you want me to carry her?"
He was surprised when Rudolf talks to him and offers a hand. He was hesitant but, Ca.s.sandra would not be comfortable. In the end, he agreed and let Rudolf carried her to his hospital room.
"Thank you," he said when Rudolf about to leave.
Rudolf look at him then nodded before he steps out of the room.

"Hey..."
When he opens his eyes, he saw Ca.s.sandra been staring at him. She blushed when she was caught. He smiled. He brushes his lips against her and places soft kisses.
So the hand he is feeling that caressing his face is Ca.s.sandra"s soft hand. He grabs it gently and locked it between his own palm, then kisses the back of her hand.
"Are you not going to work?" Ca.s.sandra asked him.
He chuckles. Truth is, he felt lazy to go to his office.
"Later..." he answered. "How about let"s have a shower together?" He watches how her eyes grow wider and her cheeks flus.h.i.+ng red.
Ca.s.sandra takes the pillow and she covered him with it. He was surprised but then he laughs and let her beat him. He felt Ca.s.sandra lay on the pillow. He reaches for her hair and combs it. He sits up and kiss her forehead.
"Let"s go to the kitchen and make our breakfast."
"Okay," she happily nodded.
When they arrived at the kitchen Rudolf been there already and making breakfast for himself. When they were home, they don"t like the maids wandering around. They wanted absolute privacy for themselves.
"Brother Rudolf!" Ca.s.sie steps closer to him and checking out what he"s cooking. "Wow! That looks tasty!"
"You want, Ca.s.sie?" he asked her then glance at his boss.
"Uhm..." she glances at Shun. "You like some of this?"
"Sure, it"s fine... come, I"ll make coffee. How about you?"
"Hot chocolate," she answered.
"Alright, sit here."
She obediently takes a seat then watched Shun and Rudolf do the making of their breakfast.
"Why you add a lot of cheese on there and only some at this?"
She heard Shun complains.
"Isn"t you supposed to be please instead of complaining?" Rudolf answered. Ca.s.sie began worried if the two of them is arguing.
The two men were stunned seeing her worry face. The two of them exchange glances. Shun stride towards her and kiss her forehead.
"We"re not fighting..." he whispered. Ah, she is too cute.
Ca.s.sie doesn"t know, that this is their natural treatment to each other outside work. Rudolf began placing the plates with their breakfast on the table. Shun pick up some fruits then make a fruit salad. He mixes some cream and milk on the side.
Ca.s.sie happily picks up some grapes. She ended up eating a lot of breakfast. She thanked Rudolf for the breakfast then whispered at Shun.

"Have you done thinking about this?" Kier wasn"t convinced.
"That"s why I am here talking to you."
"You should have told me that you wanted to take up Law. You know we are willing to give you a sponsors.h.i.+p. Boss, would consider it too."
Lorna smiled. She was certain about it. What a nice feeling to have people that treating you a family and would give a hand anytime even she doesn"t need.
"Law is not really what I wanted, but if it is a good opportunity for me to accept Jason"s offer," she told him.
"Then, if you really have decided, the boss will give you handsomely for your service."
Kier was a bit puzzled staring Lorna"s face is now frowning. "What?"
