Jia and Mr. Wayne moved in to the new matrimonial home Jim had supposedly prepared for them in Jian's Garden. And just as what Jim had requested, it had her larger music room with fabulous design. It also had a separate playroom for the kids.

The backyard garden was well - crafted out into beautiful landscapes. It had a nature - inspired gazebo, enhanced with flower chandeliers and equipped with contemporary outdoor chair and tables, ideal for siesta hours.

Everything Jia saw, from the garden racks to the wooden porch swings down to the choice of ornamental plants, was the written dexterity of Anthon's craftmanship.

It was almost two years since Jim passed away and almost two years when Anthon left. Whatever communications he had with the children, she put herself out of it. She promised herself that she would forever hold the title of being Jim Wayne's wife.

She got herself occupied with running the business and in two years, Gee's Cafe had opened up four branches. Jian's Garden was already completed and occupied and Jian's Paradise was always fully booked. The property maintenance and all matters regarding with it was run by Giselle as Anthon's most trusted business partner.

In the absence of Jim, Mr. Wayne appointed Jia in his place and her brilliance greatly helped in the steady progress of Catherine Fields Group of Medical Centers. Few years from now, Mr. Wayne would be going to hand her down the family's legacy of hospital business.

Kuya Nap had also opened up his own real estate business which was funded and given to him by Jim while he got promoted as the chairman of the hospital's legal affairs. His love life remained a charade. He was too traumatized by his brother's heartaches. Not to mention Mr. Wayne's complicated love affair.

After that last batch of Hailey's Treatment Course, Mr. & Mrs. Ybañez publicly announced its temporary, long closure since their research team was currently searching for methods to correct the limitations of Hailey's Pill. However, Hailey's Pen, which was developed alone by Dr. Aijohn, was stil the best and the most accurate cancer - mapping apparatus in the world. It was added to one of the products promoted and specialized by Gracienne's Medical Equipments and Apparatus. Due to its high demand, Dr. Aijohn focused on improving it as well as its reproduction all throughout the world.

One afternoon, as Dr. Aijohn was checking the quantities of the total orders for the month, his mind flew off to the time when his in - laws, together with him and Grace, visited Hailey on the lab.

Hailey was on her computer when Mr. & Mrs. Ybañez first stepped in, silently followed by Aijohn and Grace.

When she heard the sound of footsteps, she looked up, her eyes widened in excitement. She then ran towards them and hugged them both.


"Mom, dad... So happy to see you again. " She said hoarsely as her tears instantly raced one after another.

Aijohn frowned. Through all the years they had been together, he had never heard her call them 'mom and dad', though they were unusually closed to each other.

Mr. & Mrs. Ybañez also cried.

"What happened, dear? We had been spending a lot for the search for your body but no one found you?"

Grace was caught surprised. She never expected that there was already an existing intimacy within them as parents and child. How could they kept it as secret to her?

Hailey did not answer but her eyes fell on Grace. "Sister... "

Intimidated by Grace's reaction, she turned to Mr. Ybañez and threw herself in his chest. She cried even harder. Mr. Ybañez comforted her.

"Hailey, why don't you welcome your sister? " Mr. Ybañez said as he glanced up at Grace.

Mr. Ybañez then turned to Grace and Aijohn.

"The moment your mom forgave me, she also asked me to introduce ourselves to Hailey. We sent her to school, and later, funded the research to honor her dream. We had a good relationship then, only that I wasn't brave enough to tell this to Grace. We also kept the truth from the team for this reason. "

Hailey withdrew herself from Mr. Ybañez then looked again at Grace. Seeing her softened expression, she ran towards her and fell on her neck.

"Gracie, it has always been my dream to see and hug you as my sister. "

Grace, who was unprepared of this scene, was moved emotionally that she also cried despite her reluctance. Who could be at ease in her place? She got married with her husband...

Later in the lab's function room, they gathered to talk.

"Gracie, don't worry. I have accepted my fate. Life has its own share of joy and cruelty. The reason I asked Aijohn to leave, was not because I want to get the credit of this breakthrough for myself. But it's because of you. "

" Human as I am, I can't guarantee to work with him without reminiscing the beautiful past that we had. I don't want to repeat mom's mistake which made her miserable in all these years.You are separated from us and she's haunted with guilt. " Hailey paused when her voice became hoarse.

Everyone felt hurt for her. Most of all, they admired her courage, willingness to give and let go, and her resilience.

"Thank you. " She said the only words she knew as she burst again into tears. What kind of heart did her mom had for accepting her and forgiving them? For influencing Hailey to keep no grudge?

Then, Hailey started to narrate her story.

"When the news of Hailey's Pill and Pen leaked out, one of our competing research team started their secret investigation on us. They sent spies in disguise of farmers to know the source of our cancer treatment. On that day that I went into an accident, they were also following us. "

Everyone held their breaths as they listened carefully.

"When the truck fell off into the cliff, I was fortunately thrown off into the thick bushes which prevented me from falling down. They hurriedly picked me up and brought me into their facility. "

"They treated me with Hailey's Pill and they were the great minds behind its bulk purchase in order to topple our company down. No matter how much would the Wayne raise the price for their repurchase, they would never give in. The death of Catherine Fields Group of Medical Center's heir was more than enough to DEFAME the breakthrough Of Hailey's Pill. "

"They saved me, not because they were concerned about me, but because they thought that through me, they would overpower the fame of our breakthrough through the launching of another product. "

"My prayers must have been heard when, finally, during their meeting, the investor realized that if I would succeed with my research in the future, I would still bring up the name of our company as the daughter of our research lab investor. "

Everyone shuddered at the thought of Dr. Jim...

"They released me with threats to kill me if I would divulge their secret.The irony of it, was the fact that they dropped me off in front of the church on your wedding day. " She smiled bitterly as she lifted her eyes for a moment to Aijohn.

Looking at her parents afterwards, she declared a sentence that broke their hearts.

"I may have lost my husband to my sister, my husband who used to dream this success with me, but it's not the end of my world. At the far end of the horizon, the world looks beautiful. I would not cast my eyes over the things that would block my sight, because at the end of my journey, I will be able to touch that beautiful sky."

"From now on, I would dedicate myself to saving the lives of millions who are suffering from cancer. "
