The Boltom family home

20.00

Jessica stared at the large clock perched sweetly in Boltom's living room. It's been two days since Matt's departure and Matt hasn't given him anything, the least he wants is the news that Matt is doing well there.

The more he got here, he was getting used to living without Matt by his side, and he knew Lyn was getting used to it now, he very rarely asked him where his father was. And that made him a little worried. Jessica let out a deep breath and put down the phone she had held for almost half an hour.

“Mama, can I eat ice cream?” Lyn, the little girl pointed towards the kitchen, Jessica smilingly looked at her little girl.

“It's late to eat Lyn ice cream, tomorrow you can go back to eating it.”

“Mama please! Just this time, huh?”

The little girl pleaded with her pouting face that was so cute. Jessica who saw him smiled amusedly, her little girl had started to sulk. Jessica stroked Lyn's head dearly and smiled.

“Only for today only, okay?”

“Yeay!”

Lyn smiled happily and ran towards the kitchen, Jessica who saw him smiled. Lyn's been very active lately, and the little girl's been so curious about anything. He hopes Lyn can be his pride one day, and he also hopes that one day Matt will not reveal about Lyn's father in front of him, all he wants now is to live happily as he used to as a small family, with neither Mike nor Corrine in their lives.

Now Jessica looks at her phone and calls Matt, as Matt doesn't answer. Actually, Matt could have taken care of a problematic project there, but why at the wrong time. At least Matt could wait a few days to accompany him because of the loss, but in fact not, the big project will be much more important than anything.

This time Jessica's mind drifted to Corrine, right Mike said, the girl could do anything to get what she wanted. Actually, what he feared the most from Corrine if the girl threatened to hurt Lyn, if it happened, or not he would keep releasing Matt. Lyn was everything, had enough to lose the baby she contained, and she wouldn't be able to lose Lyn. He will take care of Lyn even if he has to destroy his marriage.

“Lyn! Sherlyn!” Jessica shouted, no answer.

Ten minutes had passed from Lyn's departure to the kitchen. Jessica started to get anxious when she didn't hear any sound from the kitchen. He quickly ran towards the kitchen, and he was so jolted to see Lyn who had fallen with ice cream scattered on the floor.

“Lyn! What's up, what's up?”

Jessica approached and saw Lyn's body convulsing with the girl's eyes wide open. Jessica's tears began to drip profusely, many times she called out to Lyn and patted the little girl's cheek. What's he supposed to do? He never learned anything about first aid. Jessica's thoughts were mixed.

“Lyn, stay sober dear! Stay conscious!”

With a mother's panic and tears, Jessica takes Lyn's body out of the house and enters it in the car. At high speed Jessica drove her car to the hospital.

City S

20.30

“Master, can I ask you some questions?”

Matt stopped eating his dinner, even the man put down the knife and fork he used. Perhaps this was the first time Mark had asked permission to ask her something. If it's a work problem, Mark won't ask her permission first. He knew the question was serious this time.

“What's up?”

“Why did you take Miss Corrine to town? You must know, there is no problem whatsoever about our project here, everything is fine.” With the courage he had accumulated over the past day Mark began to speak.

“You ask because you are upset to have extra work or really care about Mrs Boltom?” Mark was silent, he knew there was a sharp sarcastic tone behind his boss.

“Sorry, Mr.”

“Once again I'm sorry Sir, I didn't mean.”

Matt smiled faintly at Mark who was now looking down deeply at him. Even Mark can be so attentive to Jessica's feelings as compared to his own.

“I just want to make Corrine away with Jessica some time.” Mark kembai looked at his superiors who have now resumed their activities. Matt is more relaxed now.

“You must know Miss Edmond has so many accomplices, that she could even hurt Mrs Boltom from here."

This time Matt actually put down his cutlery, he was so in no mood to discuss Corrine and Jessica again, but Mark reminded them again, and that upset him a little.

“You think the hotel here doesn't have Mark's eyes and ears either? How could Corrine hurt Jessica in my own pen."

Mark was silent for a moment, he looked at Matt who was also looking at him coldly. Mark swallowed his saliva, why was he so stupid by talking like that, his superior must have arranged everything so well.

“Sorry Sir, I understand."

A few moments they were silent, but the ringing of his phone again disturbed them. Mark stared at the office phone he was holding, he gasped there were dozens of calls from Mrs Boltom, from earlier the phone was in silent mode, how could he be this reckless.

“Master, there are several grills from Madam.” The two of them looked at each other, only a few moments later did they talk about Jessica. The girl contacted him directly.

“Just turn off Mark, I don't want to fight with Jessica. He must have been so angry that I didn't call him two days ago. He also contacted me personally.”

Doubtfully Matt replied and resumed eating that evening. Actually he's pretty guilty of Jessica, but this is all just a little more. He had lost a lot of time and energy, and he hoped Jessica could be patient waiting for him for a while longer.

“But, Mr-“

“You've been arguing a lot lately Mark.” Matt looked at her sharply.

“Sorry Sir, I'm sorry.” Mark went silent and turned off the phone.

'I just want Jessica to wait a little longer, and I'll get back to her.' Matt's inner self was full of worry.

Hospital

21.30

Jessica fell in front of the emergency room, her body trembling. His thoughts and feelings were completely unsettled. He was disappointed, very disappointed with Matt's attitude, had dozens of times he called his personal number to his office number and dozens of times that he did not get an answer.

The door of the room opened, Jessica quickly wiped away her tears. He hopes everything will be fine, he will not forgive himself if something happens with Lyn, all because the handling is so slow and it's all because of it.

“Doctor, Lyn will be fine right? Yes, right?”

“Lyn has acute sickle sell anemia. His body was convulsing from shock. Has Lyn been nauseous or vomiting lately?"

Jessica remained silent. No, that shouldn't be the case with Lyn. He had never seen the little girl have such symptoms.

"No, I don't think so." Jessica said with doubt.

"Lyn needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as she can. He can get it from his biological family or there is someone who fits him."

“I Doctor, I will do it. Take whatever you need in my body for Lyn. I'm willing to do it.” Jessica said with excitement. Lyn should not feel any pain, the little girl should always be healthy no matter what. He was willing to give anything for her, even if it was his life.

“Good Mistress, you can run some tests first, Please follow me.”
