Come Home Now!
Half an hour before Jeff had arrived at the condominium, Ann had told Lea everything, and they made a decision. Now that everything was out in the open, a plan was needed to accomplish their goal.
"Ok! First, I need to prepare for your appearance. You need to have a different persona from Ann the Princess. Lets' see?... You need a wig to change your hairstyle without cutting your hair." Lea walked around Ann and surveyed her current look and style.
"This is not good, and this is not good at all. You're just too beautiful, girlfriend. It's going to be a tough job to accomplish." Lea motioned to Ann with her hand and finger twirling around.
"Turn around. This way, that way, good! Now it is coming to me." She put her hand on her forehead, acting like she was thinking deeply.
Ann smiled at her best friend's actions. "Why don't you hurry up with your assessment? We don't have all day, you know." She said with a raised eyebrow.
"Is it coming...? Oh, well! You need to contact the Queen-mother as you always called her that. Inform her that I need to meet with her, possibly tonight, at the Hospital when no one's around. This time, you will join us; you need to know everything from here on. Understand?" Ann had given up waiting for Lea's idea and decided to ask Sophia's opinion.
Lea nodded absentmindedly while she continued assessing Ann. After a while and she still couldn't come up with anything. She finally gave up and contacted Sophia as per Ann's request. Therefore, once Lea got in touch with Sophia, they quickly changed and left for the Hospital.

Ann and Lea were with Sophia at the Hospital discussing the plan for the emergency shareholders meeting the next day when Jeff arrived at the condominium.
Sophia made sure that Claudia was out before Ann arrived. 'Claudia does not need to know their plan; she would only make things worse.' Sophia thought.
"As I said, tomorrow, when you introduce me to the board as your daughter out of wedlock, here's my plan. What you need to do is 'blah. Blah. Blah! " Ann told Sophia without a trace of emotion on her face.
Once the discussion was over, she asked, "Is it possible for me to visit Mr. Tan? I only want to make sure that my blood does not go to waste. That's all!" She told Sophia, but she was more or less saying this to herself.
She wanted to meet the unknown father even if he could not see her.
"Sure! You can, and If not for you, he would no longer be in this world. Of course, you can see him as you wish." Sophia said with concern in her voice.
"Lea, I will be right back. Do you mind? " Ann asked her friend sadly.
'Do what you what you need to do girlfriend, I know you want to spend some time with your unknown daddy.' Instead, Lea wanted to tell her, "Not at all, go! I'll stay here and do some work. We will leave when you're ready, all right!"
Sophia accompanied Ann to the ICU to ensure they let her see Albert. Once Ann was allowed and ushered to the ICU room, she turned around and returned to the VIP room to give the father and daughter time to be alone.
Ann stared at the man in front of her with sadness in her eyes; ' Hello! Father! How are you? Are you feeling better after receiving my blood that came from you;
'Do you know who I am? I'm the daughter you never met, the one you probably don't know exists in this world. Words she wanted to say but was unable to. Someday, when the time comes, will he accept her? Hahaha,' she laughed at herself for what she was thinking.
After wiping the tears that had fallen on their own without knowing, Ann said her goodbyes to the sleeping Albert. Never knowing his only biological child was the one who had saved his life.
"Lea, let's go! We have a lot of things to do." Nodding at Sophia, she waited for Lea to get all her things together then left without a proper goodbye.
Jeff was panicking in the condominium when he couldn't find his wife anywhere. After rereading the text message he received, He is now worried that it could be for real. There'a possibility and lots of enemy lurking around. He needed to make sure, and Just as he was about to call his wife's phone once again..- Another text just popped from Ann.
[I RECEIVED YOUR MESSAGE! HOWEVER, IT'S TOO LATE!]
"What the heck! What does she mean too late? I was here the minute I saw her message." He grumbles out loud. "Are you playing with me? Will see how you will reply to this one."
Jeff called Ann's number once more, *ring ring ring* the voice message system kicked in and it made him furious to the maximum lever. "Please! Leave a message after the beep!"
Leave a message? Alright, let's leave a message... "Wife If you still want to see me! Your husband alive, one word! Come home now!" He said with a very commanding voice.
"Take that!" Then he hung up the phone while grinning from ear to ear...
