The sacrifice

It looked like she had waited all night for her return. Jade cautiously walked closer in small steps. She didn't know how to face her mother. She had not only disappointed her mother, b

ld refresh himself before heading for the office. But what he really wanted was to see his grandfather. He walked into his grandfather's room after knocking on the door. He stood by the door as he greeted with a bow, "Grandfather" making his grandfather humphed, shooting him a mock-digusting look. "What woman grazed your bed last night, you rascal" Grandfather Beau asked his grandson as he took off the automated sphygmanometer from his arm. "Grandfather you haven't been spying on me have you?" Jake asked his grandfather not denying the fact that he had spent the night with a woman. "Do I really need to do that?" Grandfather Beau asked eyeing Jake. Wasn't it obvious only a woman could keep his grandson from spending the night at home on his first day back in to the country. He sighed at the thought that this grandson of his might not change anytime soon. "You should go take a shower, you look like you had it rough" He said with a deeper meaning, making Jake roll his eyes at him. His grandfather shouldn't give him that look, wasn't it obvious he got his traits from him. "Jake be careful at the office.

What should be her reply if he'd asked her how she got the money for his surgery. How would she look Cale in the face and still tell him she was all his, after sharing a bed with an unknown man.

All she wanted at this moment was to see Cale's face and make sure he was fine, but she was too scared to. Too scared to lose him when he discovers what she had done. Though she had done it for him, but it's only natural for him to feel hurt. "Jade?" Mrs Stuart nudged Jade by the side, when she got tired of calling her. Jade was startled at the sudden jab she felt on her side. She turned her head to the side to see Mrs Stuart frowning at her. "Good morning Mom" Jade greeted with a curt bow. "Why were you so lost in thought?" Mrs Stuart asked Jade curiously. She had been calling her, but she didn't get a response. "Nothing. I was just worried about Cale. How is he doing?" Jade asked trying to change the topic and Mrs Stuart didn't miss this. But she also didn't push it. "He's fine all thanks to you. I'm so grateful to you Jade. You saved Cale at the nick of time. Thank you" Mrs Stuart said with a genuine expression. "You don't have to thank me. We both love him, so it's only natural for us to do the best we could for him" Jade said feeling somewhat embar
