Chapter 39
Jasmine sat in her dimly lit office frustration mounting in as she skimmed throught websites.
In her anxious state, an old habit resurfaced the nervous nibbling of her nails, a clear manifestation of the mounting pressure that had taken hold of her.
Nathan would be returning soon and she still hadn’t found out the location or whereabouts of Dr. Gomez. Speculations about his whereabouts swirled, with some suggesting he might be on a vacation to a private island.
Who would have thought finding a doctor was this difficult, except he was no ordinary doctor.
Scrolling through the internet she had discovered some details about his life. He was no ordinary person, he was well connected with influential figures, his presence documented at exclusive charity events and high-society galas. What’s more, he had held a significant role in government affairs and was undeniably wealthy, having inherited most his fortune from being born into old money.
Jasmine let out a heavy sigh of resignation as she minimized the numerous browser tabs on her laptop screen. It had become abundantly clear that dealing with Dr. Gomez would be no ordinary task, especially now that he had retired. Reaching out to a person of his stature seemed an impossible challenge. She thought to herself with a sigh.
“Let’s find him first Jasmine. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.” She scolded inwardly.

Finding his location came first. Afterwards every other thing, meeting him and consulting him over Hazel’s daughters surgery, would fall into place.
In the days that followed Hazel’s meeting with Ethan, life took on the frenzied pace of a whirlwind, swirling her into a maelstrom of a hetic routine.

Addressing her daughter, she spoke with a blend of firmness and affection, “Daisy, sweetheart, it’s time to gather your sca t t e r e d toys and return them to their proper places Turning her gaze to her son, she continued with a reminder, “Liam, please remember to place your shoes where they belong
Yet, Daisy appeared uncharacteristically uncooperative and sluggish that particular morning. It had taken her an eternity to stir from her cozy bed, and even after donning her attire for the day, she managed to spill her cereal liberally over her freshly changed outfit. Hazel’s patience, stretched to its limits, and she was poised to snap, but at the sight of her daughter’s forlorn expression, her tone softened as she reached for a fresh dress. “Come here, sweetheart,” she sighed, and Daisy’s outfit was replaced in a comforting gesture of motherly
reassurance.
After what seemed like an eternity of commotion, they were at last prepared to begin their day.
Hazel gathered her phones and laptops, expertly shepherding her children out the door with a sense of urgency that matched her frequent glances at her wristwatch. Time was the
master she had to serve, and in her meticulously planned day, there was no room for delays
Clutching her children’s hands firmly, she hustled them into the building’s elevator, her foot tapping impatiently as her watch became a constant companion. The clock’s digits read. 7:15, and that morning she was already ten minutes behind her planned schedule courtesy of her children’s carlier tantrums and sluggishness.
Upon successfully delivering her children to their destinations, kindergarten, Hazel boarded a taxi, its destination set for the corporate realm of ] T Corporation. There awaited pivotal meetings with surveyors and construction experts.
Meetings, site inspections, and more meetings consumed several hours, as Hazel and her team grappled with the demanding intricacies of their ongoing project.
