After a pause she continued..."Mmm, you have to try once more, and if that’s not happening you have to join the Gregory’s and push them a little... you got me?"
"Fine, I’ll be staying at hotel tonight... !" She said after a pause and ended the call. A malicious smirk formed on her lips.

The next day,
Both Zackary and Esther woke up and done choirs and dressed themselves to go back. Since Esther was unconscious on her way here, she couldn’t see the scenic spots. She didn’t asked what the name of the island is. It’s amazing.
Private jet was ready for them and Esther who knew about the arrangement nearly felt her head rotating as how could he throw the money away like that but the fact he is busy and his presence is very much needed in the company silenced Esther from asking about it.
Yeah, she knew he has one but thought he would only use it for his business purpose. The cost that incurred was too much for Esther to think. She shook her head and went along with him. It took almost 5 hours to arrive at their home city.
They were traveling back in his car when he suddenly opened his mouth to speak. " Esther... We are not going home now but to hospital!" Zachary was busy attending the calls and instructing his men on something so he didn’t get enough time to speak about this to her.
"Why -why so?" Esther asked. Her forehead creased. "It was too much for Mr.Grey( Abraham) to take so he got a cardiac arrest right after we left the spot."
"What? Then? Is he okay now?" Esther’s eyes started to tear. It was because of her, the old man was suffering now. She was already feeling bad about the other day and now the guilt inside her have grown. She quickly mumbled a prayer and kept both her hand close to her chest.
Zachary couldn’t say more so he maintained silence.

At hospital,
"You can go see him... I have to attend this call!" Zachary said and Esther nodded.
After asking in the counter where Mr. Abraham was admitted , Esther quickly ran towards their room. She knocked on the door and opened only to see an old weak man laying on the bed. He was still asleep. His wife was doing something on her phone when she suddenly heard a knock.
Seeing the old women, Esther assumed that she will be her grandma. She then smiled at her and stood up went towards her awkwardly. She kept her hands on ber shoulder and bought her near Abraham.
She was about to call Abraham but then Esther interrupted her not to. The old man gets peace only when he sleeps,now she didn’t wanted that to be abruptly interrupted.
Esther covered her mouth and shed her tears. Theresa( Abraham’s wife) felt sad seeing her cry.
