As Anthon and Jia disappeared, Jim broke into an unrestrained sob. He looked at his tombstone and felt the grief that Jia and his family must have endured. All because of this illness that stood undefied for centuries. How many more people must have gone through the unthinkable stages of fear and pain? How many more families must suffer with the horrible loss of their loved ones?
Hailey's heart broke apart in seeing him. She knew, more than anyone else, how painful it was. She knew how many nights would he go sleepless before he could forget. She knew how long the memories would keep on haunting and hurting him before he could have rest. She also broke into a sob, remembering her own ordeal when she learned about Aijohn's wedding with her sister.
She hugged Dr. Jim and tried hard to comfort him.
"I had been through with it, Dr. Jim, and believe me, everything will be alright. Just remember that you're still greatly blessed because you are given the chance to live. You may suffer the pain of loss now but in the soon future, you would enjoy the gain that life would offer. You may have to endure this pain, no matter how long, but it would only be momentary. "
After a long while, Jim wiped his tears and smiled.
"Dr. Hailey, thank you for coming into my life. You're more than a friend to me, more than a family. Perhaps, all these happen for a reason. And perhaps, that reason is for me to help you in your quest to end the grief and suffering which cancer brings about. I will go to school again and earn a degree in Biology. "
"That's a very good decision to cope up, Dr. Jim. I am and will always be here for you. " She smiled and hugged him again.
"Please, take me home. " He said as he brushed the last drops of his tears away.
Hailey was confused on where and what home did he mean.
"Where will I bring you, Dr.Jim?"
"To where you may be going. My home is where you are." He smiled as he hugged her back.
Hailey was overwhelmed with a mixed emotion. Never did she thought that she would go back home with him. All she started to imagine was the fear of going through the same difficult process of easing out her loneliness again.
Who would not miss him when he was by her side for two years? Who would not miss him when she personally bathed him, feed him, brush his teeth and changed his diapers?
More than that, she surprised herself by forgetting so soon her heartaches for Aijohn eversince he came under her care.

"Mr. Wayne, someone wants to meet you in Room 314 of White Rose Hotel. " Mr. Wayne's secretary called out from the door of Jia's office. Mr. Wayne was with her, taking their lunch together.
"Who is going to see me?" He asked without glancing at her.
"He said he is your relative from an island. He also asked to bring with you Atty. Guevarra. "
Mr. Wayne creased his brows. Relative from an island? He couldn't remember any of his relatives living in an island.
"Don't go dad if he won't give his name. " Jia firmly said.
"Or, let me go with you. " She offered.
"Thank you, darling but I have no known enemy. And besides, White Rose Hotel is very strict in their security system. "
She nodded while she picked her phone up to call Kuya Nap.
"Kuya, dad is going to meet a relative in White Rose. Please come over and pick him up. "
"Okay, I'll bring along Jianna. I am at home to get some important paper and this little dwarf is pestering me around, asking for a strawberry ice cream. " He said as he laughed.
Yet, Jia knew that the reason he went home was because he was so stressed out and his stress reliever was always the charm of her niece.
"Okay, kuya, as long as you would both be enjoying. "
"Who's enjoying? " Anthon's voice rang out from the door.
Jia looked up and wondered why he came over. He had already informed her ahead that he was going to personally supervise the renovation of Blue Whale Mountain Resort.
"Ton, you're here! " Jia asked with a
surprised look.
"Can't I give my wife a surprise
visit? " He said as he approached
her, instantly devouring her lips in front of Mr. Wayne.
Mr. Wayne stood up and laughed. The difference between his two sons in dealing with Jia was that Anthon was too loud and expressive about her affection even in front of him, while Jim was always conservative.
"I'll go now, darling. Your husband can no longer wait to eat you up. "
" Okay, dad. " She answered while her fingers burrowed deeply into his side.
Anthon cringed and pretended to ask innocently. "Why? "
"You're kissing me again in front of your dad! " She grumbled while she pinched his other side.
"What's wrong with that? " He asked indifferently as he lifted and placed her up in his lap.
"I thought you will be staying in the resort all day! " She ignored him and changed the topic.
"The place just made me miss you so much! "
Dear saints! She was already floating with sweetness overload and many surprises and he seemed to be not getting tired of it.
With Jim, she was the one who did the pampering. She was the one who prepared everything he needed, from the choice of his personal care to the clothes he wore, that he became too dependent with her, while Anthon was the total opposite.
He was the one who chose what she would wear, what shoes to put on and what food to eat and bring. After all, he took over the kitchen right after their wedding. His expertise in cooking was now brought down in their own haven!

At the White Rose Hotel
Mr. Wayne arrived with Kuya Nap and Jianna at White Rose Hotel. Standing at the door of Suite # 314, he suddenly got an ill - feeling. He suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that he wanted to cry. He chuckled inwardly, wondering why he felt that way. It was something so unusual and uncalled for.
To their surprise, Hailey opened the door for them and ushered them in. She was then instantly drawn to the lovely Jianna. She was too pretty and her eyes were grey, the foreign blood of the Waynes dominated in her.
"Lovely baby, your dad must have missed you so much!" She suddenly became teary - eyed.
"Dr. - Dr Grace ? " Mr. Wayne and kuya Nap simultaneously exclaimed.
