Chapter 34

Back

"Mom, you need to eat." Saad ng kaniyang anak kay Paige. Kakagising palang ni Paige sa araw na iyon.

Ilang araw na siyang narito sa hospital. Nakakagalaw na rin siya, nakakatayo at nakakalakad. Pero hindi parin siya na di-discharge.

They are still waiting for the results of the tests that he undergoes while he was here.

Mayroong pagkain sa bed table na nakalagay sa table kung saan nakatayo sa tabi nito ang kaniyang anak nang magising siya. Sa nakalipas na araw, binabantayan siya ng kaniyang anak at ni Rafael. Inaalagaan at pinapakain.

"Eat with me, Angelo." Saad ni Paige dito. Bumaba siya sa kama at lumapit sa pagkain.

It's already lunch and the two of them were enjoying their food when Rafael entered. Agad itong tinapunan ng tingin ni Paige ngunit agad ding iniwas.

After the sudden confession that he made, hindi na magawang tignan ni Paige si Rafael. Mas lalong naging awkward ang kanilang pagitan.

Nawala ang ngiti ng kaniyang anak ng pumasok si Rafael ngunit hindi na ito nagsalita at nagpatuloy na kumain na may busangot ang mukha. Ralph Angelo still doesn't like Rafael.

There's still no progress between them. And it might take long for his son to open up his heart for Rafael.

"It's John." Saad ni Rafael habang pinapakita ni Rafael ang kaniyang cellphone. Kahit na hindi nagtanong si Paige ay sinabi niya iyon.

Right at the moment, Rafael doesn't want Paige to think of him as anything bad having a wife. Alam niyang hindi pa rin ito na naniniwalang mahal niya si Paige kaya naman maingat na maingat siya ngayon.

Lawyer John visited Paige on his first day here in the hospital. They talk about his health and plans on what to do with his companies and businesses. And now, Lawyer John is preparing meetings for all the companies and a grand banquet for his welcoming ceremony once he gets out of the hospital.

Nagdadalawang isip pa si Paige ngunit hinayaan niya na lamang itong mangyari. It's a thing that needs to be done and should be overcome. He's back and it's about time he took control of his family's assets.

That's the least that he can do. Hindi niya na mababawi pa ang mga araw na nasayang ngunit ayaw niyang tuluyan pang masira ang kanilang pamilya.

His father died protecting the line of his family.  Paige lost it all, but he should at least take care of his family's business and assets.

Alam niyang wala na iyong saysay para sa kaniya. Pero ito na lamang ang kaniyang magagawa para sa kaniyang yumaong tatay. He can't let their business and money ruin right in front of him.

Lawyer John told him that he doesn't need to do anything. He just need to show up as the rightful owner of the Montero Empire.

The companies and businesses went to extreme re-establishment. Ang bawat company ay meron ng sari-sariling CEO na namamahala ngunit nanatili parin ang mga itong pagmamay-ari ng Montero family.

The meetings will be made to keep everyone in check. For everything to be under control. To chain the risk of others betraying them again. That's what Lawyer John said. And Paige agreed with that.

Naghirap ang kaniyang tatay para lang protektahan ang kanilang yaman. Naghirap siya, ang kaniyang magulang at ang buong pamilya. Kaya ngayon ay hindi niya hahayaang masayang ang effort ng kaniyang magulang.
