Chapter 25 - CHAPTER 24: RECONCILING WITH YOUR FAMILY

After Keveelsky left the mansion, Grandpa Delus dropped his playful attitude and seriously asked Havila, "My child, have you considered reconciling with your family?" He got a clear and shot 'no' reply from Havila, so he said, " Okay, just know that I will support you in anything you decide to do. But what about finding your father? Maybe he is also looking for you." Havila squinted at Grandpa nameless as she thought his words meant something. It appears to her as if he knows something about her dad. 

She said, "Maybe my dad, but I still want to focus fully on eliminating your illness. Once we are clear that you are safe, I will now focus on finding him. The problem is, I don't know where to start. Nobody told me anything, and I don't even know his name." Grandpa Delus was amused by her depressed look and consoled her, saying, "Blood is thicker than water. Just believe and you will meet him one day. You should find time and talk with your uncle; he must have known something about your father or something that your mother mentioned."

This statement further proved her theory of Grandpa Nameless knowing her dad, as he did not say find him but instead used the word meet. She dismissed her intuition and said, "It's okay, I know by now their daughter must have already found out about my marriage and informed them. She will surely add fuel to the fire when reporting to them. Very soon, he will come looking for me, and that's when I'll ask everything. For now, let's focus on your recovery. Now, let's go to the clinic and get you checked up, sir."

She joked while helping him up. After a series of tests, the results came out. She read them loudly as there was nothing to hide and she wanted to let Grandpa Delus hear it directly instead of her explanation. She then said, "Congratulations, Grandpa Nameless, your body is almost back to normal. Continue taking the ugly-looking concoction for three more months, then you will be as good as new."

 Grandpa Delus was happy too. How he wished he could hold his great-grandchildren, who look just like Havila. He smiled and silently thanked God for his favor. He insisted on going back to his mansion for peace of mind. It was approaching the holidays, and the family home was very lively and full of relatives. Who was Havila? She insisted on close monitoring, so Grandpa Delus could only concede and go back to the family mansion.

 At the hotel where Keveelsky and Havila had their dinner, a girl who was a friend of Tamar saw them and secretly took a picture and sent it to Tamar. Tamar was very furious after seeing the picture because the girl was way prettier than her. She couldn't lose her puppet and all the benefits. It then dawned on her that for the past six months, Keveelsky had not taken any initiative to look for her, and her cards had not been credited. She has been using her money all along.

She realized it when she went jewelry shopping. Her real boyfriend was always busy in the hospital, and she was bored. She even secretly aborted his child without his consent, as she wasn't ready for a child yet. She might as well jump trees if her man was not giving her the needed attention, but now her backup was with someone else. She broke the glass of wine she was holding and screamed her lungs out. This was the scene the doctor saw when he came home.

 He rushed to her and asked worriedly, " What happened?" She calmed herself very first and replied, "Nothing, just upset." He hugged her and asked, "With whom at this time of the night?" She passed him her phone and said, "Just look at it yourself." The doctor took the phone, and he saw a couple, and he recognized the man as Keveelsky, and he was with a very beautiful girl, even his heart flattered. He subconsciously commented, "Muumuu, what a fine maiden, what's wrong with the picture.

She saw his reaction upon seeing the beautiful girl, and fire burned in her heart. She said angrily, "That's the rumored wife of Keveelsky. He ghosted me and married another woman. What about his promise? I never knew he was that kind of a man." The doctor felt pain in his heart and asked, " Do you still want to marry him?" She answered promptly, " Of course not, but he is not allowed to marry someone else until I turn him down myself."

He hid the pain in his eyes and said, " You already did, remember, he called you, you rejected him, and chose your work and boyfriend." She answered, "I know, OK? But I just found out that he stopped crediting my cards six months ago. It must be that woman who stopped him; now I'm short on money." The doctor was fuming inside, but he calmed down thinking about his scheme. He wasn't around, so he didn't notice if she missed her period, so he asked, " Did you get your period last month?"

Tamar panicked, thinking she was found out. She fidgeted with her hair, smiled sultrily, and said, "What, of course. In fact, I'm on my period even now." The doctor probed, "But it is not your time yet." She followed with ' sometimes, it is irregular'. The doctor was convinced, and he swore to postpone everything and make sure she is pregnant next time. They took their dinner, and as they were preparing to go to bed, his pager lit up. He had an emergency surgery, so he went back to the hospital, leaving Tamar alone. She sat at the bed, brooding and talking to herself, ' Maybe I should find a stay-at-home dad. An hour later, she blacked out and fell asleep on the bed.

The doctor rushed to the hospital, and he found his colleagues discussing his relationship. One nurse asked, " Do you think we disrupted something good going on on the doc's side?" The other one who was interested in the doctor chimed in, "So what? he is a doctor, so the vixen should be ready to sleep alone on many occasions. She looks like a gold digger to me." The others closed their mouths in shock and looked at her. One nurse probed, "Are you sure it is not jealousy talking? I know you fancy the doctor."

She humped and replied, "I admit I fancy him, but that girl is surely a gold digger. Even her bills and education were paid by a wealthy man from her hometown." The other asked, " How do you know all these?" The girl wanted to respond, but on the corner of her eyes, she saw the doctor, who was already there, leaning on the pillar by the door and watching them coldly. He was waiting for her response. The girl instantly had a panic attack and fainted. The others who still wanted to hear the juicy story turned to look, and they were met by a pair of burning eyes.

They ran away, forgetting about the fainted girl. The doctor talked on his pager, and the girl was taken to the ER section. He knew what the ladies were saying was true, so he did not get angry. He only wanted to scare them so that they would not discuss other people in the future. He prepared and went into the operating room. When the other girl woke up, the first thing she did was look for the director and request a transfer, as her image was ruined completely. She had no guts to approach anyone else, more so the doctor. Her request was approved, and she fled instantly. 

The others felt it was a pity as she was a good nurse. It was a tough lesson for all of them, and they waited for the doctor to finish his surgery before they went and apologized. He was not an unreasonable person; he reprimanded them but still forgave them for talking behind his back.
