After lunch, the old man granted Cody's request. They talked over a cup of coffee and the old man assured him that he will help solve the problem.
Cody left for the airport right after. He needed to see his wife. He hopes she is doing ok. It's only been half a day but he already miss her, knowing she is miles away.
Meanwhile, various press companies raced to release pictures and footages of Yvonne's birthday luncheon. They were already happy to be invited but they were more thrilled by the newsworthy event that unfolded. They could hardly believe that the city's childhood sweethearts are back in each others arms despite the fact that Cody is already married.
Online, pictures of the couple walking through the hotel entrance and them sitting together at the banquet table surrounded by her family were put up one after another. There were also some videos showing Yvonne smiling shyly as she was guided into the ballroom by Cody.
They weren't part of the entertainment world but they had a huge following. When news that Cody was married, their fans were dismayed. But now that they are back together, well wishers flooded the internet including JADE's social media accounts.
PR was having difficulty handling the situation and their boss is out of reach. Even Allen cannot help them because he was instructed firmly to focus on the stocks, nothing else.
Dr. Chiong, Cody's mom, in an attempt to help her son, gave a single statement to the press. "We will provide an explanation in the right time."
Yvonne, on the hand, knowing that Cody left to see his wife, fuelled the issue by saying "I cannot give my comment. I have to catch my flight. See you, soon."
After this, pictures of Cody at the airport were also published. The media and the netizens are now asking if they are on a trip together. Yvonne's statement made it seem as if they were meeting in their secret place.
As soon as he landed, he went straight to the hospital. He was oblivious of the stories being published online, his only thought is seeing his wife as soon as possible.
The Abes saw some of the articles so they were trying hard to hide them from George who is resting. When Cody stepped in, he was pulled by the collar by one of her elder cousins, Ken. He didn't resist and just tried raising his hands in surrender.
Ken released him and silently showed him one of the pictures. Cody then realized how the banquet was staged to create a scandal.
He did not say anything. Instead, he looked towards his wife who was already stirring. They looked into each other's eyes and he slowly walked towards her. It was as if they were the only ones in the room. Cody even forgot to ask how grandma is.
He kissed his wife's hand and touched her face gently. Neither was talking but their silent communication was enough to give Ken the assurance he needed. That the ever loved baby cousin is in good hands.
He walked out of the room to give them privacy and called a team to help him get to the bottom of things.
