Hailey successfully opened the album and saw the photos he has been keeping on his phone for four years. At this rate, doubts and fear suddenly disappear inside her chest. Vince has loved her for a long time already. Then how about their agreement? What purpose does it serve? Hailey looked at Vince and queried him in a playful tone, "Tell me.

She wanted to deny it to herself. But a pinch of pain crept toward her heart, listening to Vince talking about another girl. "I was meeting my youngest sister, Sheena, to attend her secret wedding somewhere outside Budapest City. And so, I was waiting for her." 'Budapest City?' The beating of her heart quickens suddenly. "Sheena, challenge me to introduce myself to this girl across from us. But I am such a coward to take her challenge because this girl began splashing lemonade at the men who…

That morning, Vincent underwent all the tests he needed to ensure he was okay from the accident. The results are all negative. It was a miracle that he only got a minor scratch the way it threw his car on the roadside. Since Vincent didn't have any injuries from the accident but his left shoulder, Fred encouraged Hilda to go home and have a proper rest tonight. She insisted on staying, but Fred has to go to the company the next day to take care of Vincent's meetings. He has no time to worry that…

Hailey excuses to use the washroom. As she entered the room, she couldn't avoid to appreciates how spacious it was. Not only that, it was complete with conveniences such as a toothbrush, liquid soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, and even bath towel, hand towel, and bathrobe. She likes how Vince designs this hospital. If only she met Vince earlier, he would be the one she chose to design the Dream City Medical Center. But it's not too late. She could expand it soon or built another hospital across the…

Hailey got off the bed and stood to the side to give way to the doctor to examine Vince. He asked several questions. After writing on the chart and instructing a few things, the doctor left the room. "Are you hungry, son?" Fred asked afterward. Vincent nodded, reaching for his stomach. "I'm starving, dad." "Perfect! We brought food Miss Hillson prepared for dinner, cousin! I heard from Jake that she prepared a few dishes for the Class Reunion. I wished I was at the gathering." Carl said with…

The first odor that greets his nostril is the strong scent from disinfectant that immediately made him uncomfortable. He tried to move his head to the left side, but he could feel a pain struck on his skull and his left shoulder. What happened to him? He remembered he arrived at the penthouse and even confessed to Hailey. "Son? How do you feel?" Vincent moves his head, and he saw his parents at the bedside. "Dad? What am I doing here?" He asked, and he could hear how weak his voice was. "Mom?…

He doesn't want to answer the call. But knowing his mom, she would not stop storming him with many questions and nag him to death. Vincent swiped the green button and drew close the phone into his ear. "Hello, mom?" "Vincent, you must come to London as soon as possible." In the other line, none other than Hilda Shen demanding her son. It surprised him. "What did you say, mom? Are you in London as of this very moment?" "Yes, I am. Your sister will give birth soon. Why? Can't I'll be here?" Hilda…

"Have a safe drive, brother." Sheena reminded Vincent. They were standing on the front porch to send him off. She kissed his cheek and gave him a tight hug. "I will." Vincent patted Sheena's back. "Take care of yourself and Lena. I'm going to miss you both." "You can call us anytime! But I bet you are just going to do are work and work like your usual routine. You need a girlfriend, bro!" For the last time, Sheena cheers his brother. Vince chuckled, then replied. "The reason I have none is that…

"You are the best brother I could ask for. Thank you!" Sheena threw her arms around Vincent for another hug. "Enough with all these, thank you, okay? I'll often be visiting, so I expect my full meal three times a day during my stay." Sheena laughs. But then, tears flood her eyes once again, and it is the moment Stephen comes out from the door carrying a tray in his hands with three mugs of coffee on it. "Oh. It looks like I came in at the wrong timing," Stephen uttered. It didn't hide to him how…

Later on, Vincent accompanied Sheena, visiting Stephen's family living in Budapest's countryside. Stephen's family is very hospitable, and he could see how they treated her niece like their very own granddaughter. He was here to meet them and make sure that Sheena and Lena would be in good hands as his sister accepted Stephen's marriage proposal. But Vincent had another plan for why he is here. He didn't share it with Sheena yet but waited for a perfect moment so that he could talk to her alone…
