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 withfabulous design.It also had a separate playroom for the kids.

The backyard garden was well - crafted out intobeautiful 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.

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.
