Cassidy was feeling pretty exhausted as he headed to his daughter's bedroom to kiss her goodnight after a long day. After he returned from his trip to Heden to meet with Harry, he had deliberately stayed away from the house because he didn't want to face Andy. She was leaving the next day, and seeing her was only going to make him reluctant about letting her go, and he didn't want that, especially now that she had forgiven him. So he had waited until nighttime when he was certain she would be…-

Lawrence's letter read, [To the family I can call my own, thanks to my son; If you are reading this now, it could only mean that I am dead. I know it's going to be too sudden for you all to take in, but I hope you don't feel sad or guilty over my death. I don't want any of that for you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you all about the state of my health. I just couldn't bring myself to do that. I do not know if my heart will make it through the night, but if it does, then I will come to see you all one last…

Sara tried her best not to look as excited as she felt when they arrived at the location which the doctor had said her transplant will be taking place. Finally, it was about to happen! She was about to buy herself some more healthy years. At long last. The embarrassment she received in the hands of Janet, and the humiliation she received from Lucy and Harry were completely irrelevant now. This moment was all that mattered. As Sara and Crystal walked into the building, Sara couldn't help but be…

Candace raised a brow when she walked inside the bedroom and saw Matt on the bed busy with his phone. "You are back already?" She asked since she had been expecting his conversation with Harry and her father to be lengthy. She had only come inside because Tom and Bryan had come to get Lucy and Sonia so she had decided to go relax in her room while she waited for him to join her. "Yes, I am. Why?" Matt asked and Candace shook her head. "Nothing. Just surprised it didn't take long. I expected them to…

As much as Matt tried not to, he couldn't help feeling a bit anxious due to their silence as they strolled around the building. The silence made him feel uneasy. This wasn't a big deal. He had played too many of these roles to know what the stroll was about. It wasn't like they were going to say anything other than ask him to be good to Candace, so what was the big deal? Why was a grown man like him feeling so anxious? Matt mused as he decided to take the bull by the horns and break the silence…

Tom and Harry returned in time to join the rest of the family at the dining for dinner, and once they were seated, Evelyn looked at them with concern. "Is there any problem at the hotel? Why did you both go there?" Evelyn asked as they ate. "There is no problem. Since we are here, I decided to have a brief meeting with some of the staff, and Harry had a meeting with an important guest," Tom explained so that Harry would not have to lie more than he had done already. "I hope this important guest…

Harry had different thoughts running through his mind as he got out of the car, which had been sent from the hotel to pick him up, and headed inside the hotel for his meeting with Cassidy. He still could not figure out how Cassidy knew about the private suite at the hotel. Who was the insider working for him? And was it possible that Cassidy would be inside the suite waiting for him? He doubted it. If that was the case, Cassidy would have met Tom by now, waiting inside the suite, and Tom would have…

Still standing in the Den, Matt looked at Candace as several questions swirled through his confused mind. "Are you going to just keep staring at me or will you say something?" Candace asked, feeling slightly nervous. She knew she had taken a big step by acting so boldly, but all that had been on her mind when she saw him was wanting to show him that she was ready to give their relationship a try if he was willing to accept her as she was. "What are you doing?" Matt asked the first question that…

As Lucy walked out of her bedroom, she saw Dawn coming out of her bedroom with Evelyn and Jade, who was carrying Dawn's luggage. Lucy blinked back the tears that had gathered in her eyes and forced a smile as Dawn came to take her hand. "You were right. Everyone likes me," Dawn said, and this time, Lucy's smile was genuine, and everyone else smiled. "Of course, we all do. Oh, Dawn! I'm going to miss you so much," Lucy said as she squatted in front of Dawn and embraced her while Sonia, Evelyn, and…
