Gerard opened his mouth in shock, widened his eyes and said: "Jonathan? Are you making fun of me?" but the servant told him that he was saying the truth and that's what was going on in the kitchen. Gerard didn't believe it and said while putting clothes and looking to the doll Shally bought him: "You really don't stop surprising me". An hour later, Gerard was in bed working with his laptop when Shally came with a plate of cake in her hand, she was smiling and happiness was clear on her face, Gerard was both happy and surprised to see her that way: "It looks like you had a lot of fun!" Shally walked toward him and sat on the edge of the bed next to Gerard: "
× (Amused) I really did, this was so helpful and fun, you should try it.
× (Refusing) Nope, you fooled my mother but you can't fool me. How the hell did you convince her to do this?
× Well! She came and found me in the kitchen, I took her from the hand and told her she won't regret it, she only trusted me and she really didn't regret it. You should see how happy she is right now."
Meanwhile, Gwen was coming to see Gerard but when she heard them talking happily, she was curious to know what was going between the two of them so she opened the door very slowly not making a noise to be able to see and hear what was going between Gerard and Shally without being noticed; Gerard and Shally were focused on their conversation that they really didn't notice her. Shally took the spoon, cut a piece of the cake and gave it to Gerard: "
× Try some.
× (Pulling his head back) Hell no! It's full of chocolate.
× That's the point smart boy, it's the chocolate that makes you happy, that beautiful taste, that beautiful feeling, you won't regret it. Your mom refused it too but when she tasted it she agreed with me.
× Mom ate this thing of chocolate? How did you do it?
× I told her that it won't harm her, in the opposite, it will make her happier because when you eat chocolate, your brain produces the hormone of happiness as if you fell in love, it's exactly the same feeling; she seemed convinced but she was worried about her weight so I told her that she looks beautiful anyway which is true and this small amount won't affect her body at all.
× Still, you can't convince me.
× Oh come on! What happened to me after I ate chocolate? Did I die? Am I fat?
× If I eat that thing, I need to exercise for 2hours to get rid of it and I already didn't work out since I broke my leg, do you think it's easy to have this body?
× (Scowling)You're being boring. I won't insist again, you're really going to regret it if you don't taste it, you're really missing.
× (Ironically)Do you want to feed me this much? Or you just want me to try eating it then you'll take it away letting me like that and enjoy teasing me?"
Gerard left a diabolic smile and Shally made that face she makes every time she gets annoyed: "Ha Ha Ha, very funny. Anyway, you're the looser" Shally ate the cake, she closed her eyes feeling the taste of the chocolate while chewing it and enjoying it, Gerard kept looking at her while chewing the piece of cake with joy, he then looked at her lips and wondered if she'll slap him if he kisses her but then he didn't care of what will happen, he just raised himself, reached Shally's lips and kissed her tenderly caressing her cheek gently with his hand; Shally was still closing her eyes, she suddenly was only feeling Gerard's lips and hand and couldn't think of anything, both Gerard and Shally's mind was blank; Gwen was still there spying on them, when she saw them kissing she got sad and angry, she decided to get it and ruin their pleasure but she then left. After that, Gerard said smiling while his face was still close of Shally's: "I was expecting a slap" then both laughed, the two couldn't enjoy that romantic environment for long because Shally's phone starting ringing, when she was going to take the phone, Gerard sighed unpleased: "Henry! Always in the right time" so Shally said: "No, this isn't Henry, it's Marta, the one taking care of my parents" then Shally answered the call: "¿Marta? ¿Qué pasó? ¿Todo es bien? (Shouting) ¿Qué? ¿Qué hospital? Ya voy en camino. (Marta? What happened? Is everything alright? (Shouting) What? Which hospital? I'm on my way)." Gerard got worried after Shally shouted so asked to know what's going on: "What's wrong?" Shally picked her bag and tears in her eyes: "It's my father, he had a heart attack, I have to leave" she rushed to leave and Gerard stood up saying: "I'm coming with you" Shally turned and refused to let him go with her with that situation so Gerard told her to keep him in touch.
Shally got to the hospital, her mother and Marta were in the emergencies waiting for news, Shally hugged her mother and reassured her that her father will be okay, then she asked her to go home to get some rest and not worry about anything, her mother refused but Shally insisted and told her she'll keep her in touch. After Shally's mother left with Margret, Shally sat outside the emergencies' door waiting for her father's news, she was crying and praying. After two hours, the doctor came out, Shally asked for her father's state, "For the moment he is stable but we need to wait 24h to say something sure, he needs to be watched." That was the doctor's answer, Shally was kind of relieved but she was so worried to lose him, she always was scared to lose the people she loves. Shally spent the whole night without sleeping, she already received a call from Gerard, she told him what the doctor told her and Gerard told her how much he wished to be by her side; Henry called too but for work, when Shally told him about her father he immediately came to be with his best friend in her hard times and brought her food but she didn't eat any; she also called her mother but she only told her the half reassuring truth. In the morning, Shally woke up Henry who slept on a bench and told him to go home and that she is okay, Henry was going to refuse but they have a fashion show to take care of and now Shally can't work so he expressed sadly: "I really want to stay Shally, I don't want to leave you here alone but you know, we have a work to do and now I need to take care of your part too, if I wasn't obliged, I'd never leave you alone." Shally reassured him that it's okay and she'll be fine.
In the middle of the day while Shally was still waiting for her father's news with her mother, Margret arrived to the hospital, Shally was happy to see her there and introduced Margret to her mother; Margret told Shally that Gerard was outside the hospital in the car waiting for her and Gerard couldn't come farther because of his broken leg, Shally was happier to know that he came for her and came out to see him and got into the car.
× "Hey! How are you feeling? How is your father?" Asked Gerard.
× "He's still the same, we are waiting for the 24h to finish so we can know if everything is good" Answered Shally crying.
× "Hey! Look at me, he is going to be okay, don't even think of the opposite." Gerard tried to make her feel better.
× "I'm so scared to lose him" Said Shally with eyes full of tears.
Gerard changed his sitting position and turned to Shally, he wiped her tears and said: "He is going to be okay Shally, he won't leave before seeing your success, believe me; just by knowing you I can tell how strong is your father so don't worry, he will be okay" then Gerard hugged her; Shally was feeling so safe between Gerard's arms, his words affected her and she got reassured a little bit that she even slept for few minutes in Gerard's arms but then Gerard woke her up: "
× Hey! You should go have some sleep at home, it's clear that you didn't sleep at all.
× I'm not going home without my father, I'll wait for him."
She then looked him in his brown eyes with her beautiful green eyes having the whites of the eyes red because of crying all night, they look more beautiful: "Thank you so much for coming, it really did me good to see you" Shally kissed him a light kiss then left. When Gerard and his mother were in the hospital with Shally, Gwen was in Gerard's house looking for him so when she knew that Gerard went to the hospital to be with Shally she got angrier than she already was, "I know what to do with you Miss Shally" she spoke to herself leaving Gerard's house.
By the evening, Shally had already sent her mother home and as for Margret and Gerard, they didn't stay for long. Shally was still waiting next to the door of her father's room alone, she was just sitting there until she saw Gwen, Shally walked toward her astonished: "
× Gwen? I didn't expect you to come.
× (With arrogance)I didn't come to see you or your father, I just came to tell you few things.
× And what are these things?
× (With attitude)When I saw you that day in that bar, I thought you were a strong person with a strong personality and principles but I found out that I was wrong, you're just a simple stupid woman running after the money of a rich man, don't you have any dignity? Don't you have a pride?
× (Not understanding anything) Excuse me? What are you talking about?
× (Mocking) And you play it naive.
× No, I really don't understand what you are talking about.
× Okay, let me say it this way, I'm talking about coming back to Gerard's life and getting close to him after he left you, not only you agreed to have dinner with him so easily coveting in his money now you're around him coveting to be his wife? (Furious) If I was the one who was taken to a dinner to be proved as a gold digger I'd never look at that man's face again.
× Seriously Gwen, I don't get any word of what you are saying right now and I really have neither time nor energy to lose with you."
