it was early morning and the taxi Park's garage buzzed with activity Amanda a young cab driver had been working under her car's hood for half an hour unaware of her surroundings suddenly a deep voice interrupted her concentration hello Amanda it's early morning and you're already tinkering with your car what's wrong do you need help the girl broke away from her work stood up and wiped the sweat off her forehead she looked comical with smudged engine oil on her nose holding a dirty Rag and wrench instead of a manicure tool hello Barry I've got it under
control thanks there was an issue with the ignition but I replaced the plugs and now it starts perfectly let me wash my hands and we can have some coffee I haven't even had breakfast yet and I'm starving take out the Cabbage pies I baked last night help yourself Barry eagerly rubbed his hands together and savored the treats oh Amanda you're wonderful these pies are delicious you can fix cars bake pies and you're beautiful what a Pity I'm married and your fiance is a fool a smart girl like you should be cherished and protected Amanda let
out a heavy sigh sat down beside him took a sip of scolding aromatic coffee and replied don't be offended but men they're all the same they love you at first then they disappear Into Thin Air well I don't need anyone I'll save up money have a child and raise him on my own just don't tell Mr Farris that I'm pregnant that money hungry jerk will kick me out before Amanda could finish her meal the radio beeped and the dispatcher informed her that she had to drive for a client she shook hands with her colleague and
drove off humming a simple tune to herself in reality Amanda enjoyed enjoyed working as a cab driver very much the day was never boring with interactions with different people and the opportunity to learn the latest news and interesting stories however there were occasional mishaps if someone had told her 3 months ago that she would be working as a cab driver she probably wouldn't have believed it Amanda's childhood was spent in the countryside her mother passed away when she was only 5 years old due to a severe kidney disease and she never knew her father her
grandfather took on the responsibility of raising her to prevent her ending up in an orphanage he couldn't bear the thought of his granddaughter being alone Amanda loved her life in the countryside surrounded by endless wheat Fields Open Spaces fragrant hay and her favorite cat her grandfather adored her and taught her everything he knew from mowing grass to driving and repairing their old Chevrolet to together they rebuilt the entire car by the time Amanda turned 16 she could drive as well as any experienced person she passed her driver's license exam on her first try then she
decided to move to the city Amanda realized that there were limited prospects in the village as young people were leaving leaving only the elderly residents behind her grandfather gave her his small savings blessed her and wished her well Amanda rented a room and found a job as a waitress in a small Cafe she didn't particularly enjoy the job as she was on her feet all day and her back would ache by the end of her shift however she needed to make a living somehow every day during her lunch break at the cafe a young and
handsome guy would visit he always ordered coffee sandwiches and snacks taking his time to enjoy them he couldn't take his eyes off Amanda the feeling was mutual and she would feel a bit shy every time she served him that's how they got to know each other the guy's name was Steven and he worked as a manager in a nearby tour company he lived with his parents who worked as Clarks in a bank they were an ordinary family Steven showered Amanda with compliments flirted with her and one day he brought her a beautiful bouquet of delicate
pink daises saying daises for my Amanda you are as beautiful as these flowers I think about you all the time I would like to invite you to the movies I already got two tickets for the premiere would you like to come Amanda agreed with pleasure her heart racing with excitement and so the couple began to date Steven met Amanda in the evenings after his shift saw her home and one day decided to stay for good the girl was ecstatically happy and hoped that they would soon get married as Steve even had hinted at several times
but everything changed one day when Amanda discovered she was pregnant she took a test and became a little scared she and Steven had not discussed children yet and there was no wedding planned she decided to tell Steven everything in the evening and see how he reacted Steven remained silent for a long time and had a frown on his face clearly displeased with the news Amanda felt hurt and asked honey aren't you happy it's our baby yours and mine we should hurry and get married before the belly is visible I suppose so Steven mumbled incoherently it's
just too early I thought you were using protection well I'll talk to my parents and tell them everything but after this conversation Steven disappeared he didn't answer the phone and didn't show up for their lunch at the cafe Amanda was was exhausted and cried her eyes out unable to understand what had happened why was Steven behaving like this did he have a change of heart then someone told Amanda something that shattered her Amanda don't get upset but I saw your Steven yesterday at the mall he was walking arm in-arm with some other woman Whispering Sweet
Nothing when he saw me he turned away as if he didn't know me I could be mistaken but I think it's clear your Steven has found someone else Amanda cried uncontrollably unable to believe it how could it be how could he maybe it's a mistake what if she's a relative of his I have to find out otherwise I'll go crazy Amanda excused herself from work and waited for Steven outside his office she waited for 2 hours finally he came out but he wasn't alone he was with apparently the same woman from the mall they got
in a fancy car and started passionately kissing Amanda's heart sank and she felt deeply offended losing control she ran towards the car banging on the glass and shouting cheetah traitor what about me aren't you ashamed you scoundrel frightened Steven jumped out pushed Amanda away and murmured forgive for me it just happened Peggy is now my fiance my parents decided it I told them everything and they forbade me from seeing you please go away Amanda it's over between us stunned Amanda slapped Steven hard and said but I'm pregnant with your child what am I supposed to
do now don't you care Steven Shrugged and said well I don't know go to the hospital and solve the problem what's the big deal Amanda please stop screaming and go away then a wealthy woman emerged from the salon giving amander a scornful look and asked who is this Steven what does this crazy woman want from you Steven pushed Amanda away and replied it's nothing she's just mistaken Peggy approached Amanda looked her in the eyes and said harshly this sweetie is mine I've decided it and you better not get in my way otherwise you'll be in
trouble my father has connections I've warned you Steven and Peggy drove away dowsing Amanda from head to toe with water from the puddle but the poor girl was standing in the middle of the parking lot unable to move it all felt like a nightmare a terrible dream Amanda couldn't bring herself to go to work she cried at home for a week consumed by grief and betrayal there were even thoughts of going to the hospital to solve all her problems at once but she was scared what if something went wrong and she couldn't have children at
all how could she live with the guilt of ending a life on one of those dark days her neighbor Barry came to visit asking for a stomach pill for his sick child he forcefully took her to his home where his wife joined them they gave Commander sedatives hot tea and patiently listened to her story the girl needed someone to talk to to pour out her soul because the pain of her Lover's betrayal was tearing her heart apart she told everything without holding back any secrets Barry listened shook his head remained silent and then quietly asked
well what a mess your Steven is a jerk what can I say what are you going to do Amanda Shrugged her shoulders and replied I missed a week at the cafe so I was obviously kicked out I'll have to go back home to the Village to my grandfather but I don't know how I'll face him shame on me and I don't know how I'm going to make a living Barry scratched the back of his head and said no going back to the village is not a solution what will you do there milk cows listen you
mentioned that you have a driver's license and drive well come and work at our taxi company we're short of drivers but our boss Mr Farris is very watchful so you'll need to be diligent however you'll earn a good monthly salary if you're not lazy you can save up money for labor and the baby and then go on maternity leave just keep your pregnancy quiet because if Mr Ferris finds out he won't take you Amanda wiped her tears and looked at her neighbor with gratitude thank you Barry this is my dream job I've Loved speed and
Road roads since childhood and I'm a skilled driver don't doubt it I'll start a new life I've had enough of that Cafe well I'll come back tomorrow then okay thank you guys I need to hurry and clean myself up I look like a mess swollen from crying Barry's wife patted Amanda on the shoulders and said good girl Amanda you can't give up why should you let this jerk ruin your life when you give birth to your little one you'll realize that his happiness is the most important thing to you everything will work out and we'll
help you don't worry and so Amanda found herself working at the taxi company at first Mr Ferris didn't believe that she would succeed he questioned how she would handle heavy client luggage and fix the car if something went wrong on the road but then he saw how confidently Amanda drove and how she could handle calm malfunctions on her own she performed her duties well so he decided to hire her the girl perked up and cheered up now she had no time to dwell on her pain and cry the whole day flew by as she drove
and interacted with clients she enjoyed the work and Amanda ran to it with joy her barely wasn't visible yet and she wore loose Sports hoodies and sweatshirts so she could continue working most until her maternity leave luckily her health didn't let her down and she didn't suffer much from morning sickness occasionally her back would ache from sitting for long periods but it was still better than carrying trays the only thing that bothered Amanda was the intrusive and greedy owner at the end of each shift he demanded a minute-by-minute report he even installed cameras in the
cabin to monitor how the drivers interacted with customers and to ensure money wasn't being mishandled despite this the team was excellent and Amanda found that it was easier to work with men there was no gossip or drama everyone was focused on their work she remained friends with Barry and they would drink tea from a thermos and talk about life today Amanda had a lucrative order she needed to drive far out of the city to pick up a client the client promised to pay well just to be back in the city so the earnings were expected
to be good due to the long distance Amanda was in a great mood humming a song as she drove towards the client she was already planning where she would place the crib and where to buy an affordable stroller she calculated how much she needed for all these preparations she tried not to dwell on the treacherous Steven although it was difficult sometimes tears would well up in her throat however she focused on her future and the upcoming arrival of her baby upon arriving at the requested location Amanda's mood quickly faded she found herself in a huge
country Mansion where a wild party was taking place the client was extremely drunk and kept changing his mind about getting into the cab 10 minutes later the homeowner cancelled the call the girl felt upset because she had wasted did gas and Thyme without earning any income she knew that Mr Farris would scold her for this but it wasn't her fault besides the weather worsened with heavy rain pouring down from the frowning Sky further dampening Amanda's mood she was halfway to town when suddenly a emerged from the woods he staggered from side to side covered in
mud and dried blood the girl couldn't just pass him by so she slowed down she she decided that if he was drunk she wouldn't pick him up but she wanted to see what was wrong with him the girl put on her hooded jacket and jumped out of the car she ran up to the man and took a closer look hey are you sick may I help you where are you going if you're headed to the city I can give you a ride the man looked at her with cloudy eyes and whispered weakly help me and
after that he lost his Consciousness and fell by the roadside he didn't smell of alcohol that was for sure Amanda slapped his cheeks pleading wake up I can't get you to the car Alone come on let's go up carefully after much effort the girl managed to get The Wretched Man into the car and drove him to the hospital along the way she tried to find out more about him but he only said that his name was Mitchell and moaned in pain Amanda handed her passenger over to the medical staff ensuring he was proper L cared
for as she bid him goodbye she said well I helped as much as I could get well all the best to you the girl hurried back to the taxi Park realizing that she had been delayed and worried that Mr Ferris would be angry she had forgotten about the camera in the salon but her boss was sitting in his office watching all her movements he was Furious and reprimanded her as soon as she arrived what do you think you're doing you refused to drive the client wasted my gasoline and spent half a day driving around homeless
people I lost so much money because of you Amanda was almost in tears as she defended herself why are you talking to me like that why what right the client wasn't well and cancelled the ride and this poor man I picked him up on the way back what was I supposed to do leave him to die on the highway enraged Mr Ferris shouted it even more you'll pay for saving that out of your own pocket I'll deduct the cost of the gasoline from your salary and take away your bonus so others won't get similar ideas
now get back to work you're all out of control doing whatever you want and don't forget to clean the car it's covered in dirt how will decent people get in it now Amanda angrily washed the car thinking to herself well that's how you get rewarded for doing good deeds you're left with nothing what a scoundrel Mr Farris is nothing is sacred exhausted and sad she finished her shift went home and fell asleep immediately after taking a shower she had no energy left the next morning Amanda was awoken by a knocking on her door she was
surprised to find three well-dressed men two of them bodyguards standing outside an unpleasant older man clearly the big boss entered without invitation and greeted her good morning your name is amander isn't it you saved my son yesterday picked him up on the road and sent him to the hospital I'm truly grateful to you thank you for not letting a man die saying this he placed a puffy envelope on the table Amanda waved her hands in amazement saying no need I just felt sorry for him the poor guy was badly beaten barely able to walk and
was in rags how did he end up in that wooded area the businessman seemed taken aback by the question but still answered you understand it's an unpleasant story my son was kidnapped by Bandits and held captive in a cabin in the woods he managed to escape miraculously and tried to make his way home did he say anything to you on the way Amanda shook her head no he didn't he was was in a lot of pain and only introduced himself as Mitchell that's all the man grinned and said well that's probably the best news today
all right we got to go take the money have a good day goodbye the trio left and Amanda ran to the window and gasped there was a whole motorcade of jeeps outside she counted four of them the girl counted the money there was a huge sum by her standards clearly not a simple gratitude she pondered her sleep was gone no something's wrong first of all this glossy Big Shot doesn't look like his father not a drop of worry regret for the fate of his son his eyes are cold and calculating close people don't act like
that secondly why did he ask so much if if his son had spoken up so there's something to hide thirdly how did this man learn everything about me so quickly and most importantly why did he come to me and perhaps this money is not gratitude at all but payment for my silence no I must go to the hospital again and check on Mitchell I should find out from him what happened to him luckily today is my day off anyway Amanda bought some goodies on the way and went to the trauma department where she left Mitchell
yesterday but she was not allowed why can't I visit my friend I won't be long I'll ask how he's doing and that's all let me in for a little while please the doctor himself came down to her and strictly said unfortunately we can't let you in to see Mitchell Libman he suddenly fell into a coma and is now in the Intensive Care Unit and it is forbidden to enter there you have nothing to do there excuse me the girl was shocked come yesterday he was weak and beaten but he was walking on his own feet
and now all of a sudden he's in a coma what's wrong with him the doctor waved her away angrily why should I report to you who are you to him his father's with him he knows everything they'll let you know when you can visit his son but for now his condition is extremely serious I don't have time to argue with you I have other patients waiting for me have a wonderful day Amanda was very upset and already began to leave the hospital but then she was caught up by the post nurse she took Amanda to
some back room and began to whisper it's not as the doctor said you're Mitchell's fiance aren't you I guessed it right away well there's something wrong here he's not in some kind of coma he's just being dosed with some powerful remedy and it's unclear why and wherefore but I noticed that that respectable man who seemed to be his father gave and Doctor a big envelope with money and asked him to make sure that Mitchell never left the hospital not at all I treated his wounds yesterday it was nothing serious I think the doctor sold his
soul to the devil because he is an avid Gambler and he needs money I know this because I have a cousin who suffers from this addiction I have seen the doctor several times in the casino when I took my cousin out of there I told you the truth but don't give me away okay or they'll fire me or destroy me all right I'm off Amanda was in shock she didn't know what to do how to help Mitchell she scolded herself well I got in involved in a story again I have many problems myself and I'm
worried about other people's problems what a stupid character I have the girl was tormented with worries and doubts all night not sleeping a wink and by morning she decided for sure that she would not be able to live peacefully if she did not save Mitchell after all the guy was her age why should he die it's not right it's not fair Amanda's first pulse was to run to the police and tell them everything she knew but then she changed her mind after all if the rich man had so much money and connections to buy everyone
and everything then in the police he probably has his own people and what could she charge him with it's all just rumors so far no proof the worst part was that there was no one to consult and then Amanda remembered that nurse Deborah so she decided to talk to her her again setting up a meeting at a cafe surprised Deborah arrived on time Amanda was the first to start I'm sorry to bother you again it's just that I have no one else to turn to I can't tell anybody about something like this they won't believe
it so I beg you to help me to save Mitchell I want to get him out of the hospital I can get a car I can drive but how can I get him out he's in a coma right now Deborah paused for a moment then replied okay let's think this through I have the night shift the day after tomorrow it'll be Saturday in the ward with a few people on duty in addition the Mitchell's doctor has Sunday off I can refrain from giving that remedy so the patient will wake up in about 12 to 16
hours I'll provide you with a white coat a cap and a mask to ensure that no one recognizes you we can also give you a name tag that states you're a doctor we'll attempt to handle this on our own I'm hesitant to involve anyone else because I don't fully trust anyone the only thing left is to figure out what to say when they come looking for him which will likely happen during my shift I can't even imagine the trouble I'll be in I could be fired for this but you know what let them let go
of me Amanda let out a heavy sigh and responded I don't have a plan I'll take him to my place as is nowhere else once he wakes up and tells us who kidnapped him and why we'll go to the prosecutor's office and let them handle it all they agreed on that plan Amanda had been so nervous for the past days that she could barely focused during her work and on the designated day she trembled occasionally she was terrified of what might go wrong what if it didn't work what if Mitchell didn't wake up at her
house but it was too late late to retreat and on the appointed night Amanda turned off the camera after the last order and drove to the hospital she changed her clothes as Deborah had told her to crossed herself exhaled and went straight to the ICU Deborah was already waiting for her in the ward together they placed Mitchell on a gurnie and hurriedly took him towards the exit the gurnie rattled on the tiled floor of the deserted Corridor causing a man heart to race she silently prayed that no one would approach and question their actions thankfully
they were fortunate that everything went smoothly at this late hour all the patients were already asleep including the doctor on duty once they placed Mitchell in the backseat of the car Deborah quickly turned to her post Whispering a goodbye to Amanda be careful Amanda I wish you and your fianceé a speedy recovery I've packed the necessary medications and written down the instructions and and DIY it on a sheet of paper now I'm going to hurry before they find me Amanda drove like a mad woman her heart pounding she felt like a criminal constantly looking around
and fearing that someone might be following her when she reached her house she called Barry her neighbor and whispered urgently into the receiver Barry could you come out for a minute I need your help I apologize for being so late the man was shocked when he saw the unconscious guy in the back seat Amanda pleaded help me don't just stand there I can't lift him by myself we need to get him to my room just don't ask me anything okay I'll explain everything later I promise without hesitation Barry helped carry Mitchell into the room and
placed him on the sofa he asked what are you doing Amanda why did you bring him here did you also take the car from the taxi company Mr Farris will be furious did anyone see you Amanda shook her head replying nobody saw me I turned off the camera I'll turn it back on you won't betray me will you I'm not doing anything wrong I'm trying to save this man's life do you believe me Barry simply waved his hand and said I know you're a good person and you wouldn't harm anyone of course I believe you
but please keep me out of your business I have a family and two children I won't tell anyone but I don't want to know too much I'm going home I did what I could Amanda returned the car to the taxi company without any issues the guards treated her well and she was confident that they wouldn't report her however she couldn't stop trembling from the events and emotions of this evening the girl arrived home on the last bus checked that Mitchell was breathing evenly and collapsed beside him exhausted she was worried and cried god what have
I gotten myself into Barry is right it's very dangerous and if this rich man finds me what will happen to me what about Mitchell I don't even have anyone to protect me it's not life it's a detective story and I'm starring in it how scary but at least I saved a man that's something to be happy about 13 hours passed and Mitchell finally regained Consciousness he squinted from the Sun and looked around disoriented excuse me girl where am I why am I not in the hospital oh I seem to remember you you're the cab driver
who saved me on the highway I never said thank you Amanda grinned and replied I'll tell you such a story that you'll have to thank me again though I'm taking a big risk but still the girl proceeded to tell Mitchell everything she knew about his alleged father the drugs he had been given and her own pregnancy she needed to share it all with someone to free her soul the young man listened attentively not interrupting and remained silent for a long time then he began to tell his own story yes he is not my father but
to make you understand I'll start from my birth it's a long and complicated story my parents were very welome my father was a businessman who owned a network of hotels in the city and region my mother was a psychologist who helped famous people so when I was 3 years old my father faced my Bandits who threatened to kill him and the family if he didn't give the business to them that's when my dad wrote his will stating that all his property and money would belong to me when I turned 25 I think it was because
of this that all the the fuss broke out I'm turning 25 in a month my father had a close companion named Hank long who was also a distant relative my father trusted him completely after the threats the criminals attacked my father and shot him in the car mom from grief and stress went sick she had always had a weak heart and passed away soon after I was left orphaned at the age of three Mr long my father's companion took me in and became my guardian he is the one who visited you Mr long took control
of my father's business and always made me feel indebted to him for not sending me to an orphanage he treated me indifferently neither loving nor harming me when I was 13 he married a young woman and I became even more of a burden I was sent to study at a prestigious private school in England and then went on to University finally I began to return home and start my own business however my stepfather wanted to continue controlling me I accidentally discovered the existence of my father's will when I visited my former Nanny she had been
with me during those difficult times and knew everything but kept silent then I had a disagreement with my stepfather and started looking for the notary who had the will and that's when everything went wrong I began receiving threatening phone calls telling me to leave town I didn't pay much attention to them at first but a week later I was kidnapped by some Bandits they kept me captive in an abandoned cabin in the forest beating me and demanding to refute the will luckily I managed to escape the opportunity presented itself when one of the bandits left
and I requested to go to the bathroom normally they would take me out with two guys we moved away from the cabin and I seized the moment to fight back I don't remember exactly how I broke free and ran I hid in a hole covered with leaves and stayed there for 24 hours eventually I made it out and wandered aimlessly until I found the road and that's where you found me now I have no doubt who was behind my kidnapping and who benefited from abandoning me Amanda splashed her hands it's obvious Mitchell of course it's
your stepfather who else we must immediately go to the police prosecutor's office and sound the alarm after all he will not rest until he eliminates you Mitchell evasively replied that's right I just don't understand why my stepfather didn't try to eliminate me before when I was still a child after all in the will there is an addition that if I cannot inherit for some reason Mr long will get everything Amanda replied so you are incredibly lucky and your stepfather simply didn't know about the existence of the will and learned about it only from you recently
but I'm sure he had something to do with your abduction I saw his eyes cold calculating an evil Amanda took Mitchell to the prosecutor's office where he told them all about his misfortunes and then they went to the police the wheel of Justice spun and a criminal case was opened after a long and painstaking investigation horrifying details from the past surfaced it turned out that Mr long not only organized and paid for the kidnapping of Mitchell but also had a hand in the murder of his father Mitchell could not believe it he was shaking he
asked the investigator to arrange a meeting with his stepfather he wanted to look him in the eye and ask him just one question why the guy thought that now his stepfather would repent and ask for forgiveness because he was facing a life sentence but no this scoundrel behaved brazenly and swaggered well Mitchell are you happy now yes I'm getting old I'm getting sentimental I was weak and they didn't kill you at once there in the forest I was dragging you along you were like a son to me the guy choked with such insolence a son
you say how can you say such a thing you've been telling me since childhood that you would find my father's killers that you were grieving for them that you were grateful to him but you gave the order to eliminate him with your own hands because of you my mom died soon after you ruined my life why didn't you eliminate me before why did you pay for for me to stay in a private school for so many years you never loved me I know you just tolerated me the businessman grinned wickedly I felt sorry for you
at first so I sent you away to study in addition I had an impeccable reputation in High Society because I took to educate the son of my late partner it kept suspicion away from me and I was respected by everyone and now you've come back to SPO my plans it was only when you blabbed about the will recently that I got my head in my hands I couldn't let you get everything too Regal a gift I've spent all these years developing the business investing my time and energy and now it's all going to go to
you no way I thought of everything I calculated everything but you managed to escape from the forest cabin while I was still hesitating whether to get rid of you now or later and I would have succeeded if it hadn't been for that stupid cab driver first she picked you up on the road and then she drove you out of the hospital I hate her that Viper ruined my whole plan Mitchell was outraged don't you dare insult Amanda she's the best girl in the world she saved my life twice from you by the way daddy well
you'll never get away with it now you'll pay for everything Mr long pitched forward and hissed angrily you are very wrong puppy I have such connections such opportunities that I'll be free again very soon you'll see but the court decided everything justly and the businessman murderer received a harsh punishment now instead of a luxurious happy life a prison cell awaited him for the rest of his life he shouted in court how much he hated Amanda blamed her for everything after all it was she who prevented him from becoming even richer and more successful and saved
his unloved stepson Mitchell stood at the Helm of the company and plunged headlong into work he and Amanda often saw each other were friends and socialized in fact the guy was secretly in love with the girl he had never met anyone like her before he admired everything about this laughing snub-nosed mischievous young woman her cheerful laugh her floppy ears and beautiful Wheaten curls and her kind affectionate eyes however he couldn't confess his feelings because she was pregnant with another man's child and preparing for child birth he believed that if he confessed now he would insult
her and destroy their warm trusting relationship so Mitchell chose to take care of her and support her instead he insisted that Amanda move out of her tiny old housing and he rented a cozy apartment for her he also urged her to stop working as a taxi driver since her growing belly made it impossible to hide the pregnancy and her employer Mr Faris wouldn't pay her maternity leave and might even terminate her retroactively Mitchell provided financial assistance to Amanda and made sure she had everything she needed the girl felt very uncomfortable with the level of care
Mitchell you spoil me so much no one has ever cared for me like this thank you so much it's a Pity I had to quit driving a cab I really enjoyed that job sitting in four walls is boring quietly Mitchell replied while looking into her eyes Amanda this is the least I can do for you you are not a stranger to me now in fact you are the closest person to me don't worry soon you'll give birth to a baby boy and there won't be a dull moment I'll be there to pick you up from
the hospital will you take me as the godfa Amanda was moved to tears and replied softly of course what are you even asking you know Mitchell I feel so comfortable and calm with you more than with anyone else why didn't we meet earlier it's a Pity nothing can change that Amanda's heart was also filled with with love for Mitchell She was drawn to him like a magnet but she didn't dare to entertain such thoughts she kept reminding herself don't dream about him why would he want someone else's child don't ruin his life but then why
does he care about me so much not every husband would do that is it just out of gratitude I have to convince myself that he's just a friend that's all there can never be anything more between us Amanda EX exhausted herself with worries and doubts and there was no one she could talk to about it one day while walking from the women's clinic she ran into Deborah the nurse who had helped her save Mitchell both women were delighted to see each other and decided to have lunch at a cafe and talk about everything oh dear
pregnancy suits you Deborah said with a laugh you look so much better positively glowing well tell me how did your detective story with the kid napping end I've thought of you often I almost got fired and was scolded for a long time I had to write an explanation letter and they revoked my bonus but it was worth it you should have seen the doctor's face when he couldn't find his paid patient in the morning oh what an uproar eventually the investigation started and our corrupt doctor was finally removed from his position he was scared and
tried to dodge hoping everyone would would keep silent about his dark Deeds but many people were tired of his actions he also got sentenced and is now in jail he deserves it and I even got promoted to head nurse that's right so I have to thank you Amanda smiled and said congratulations you deserve it I've thought of you often too sometimes you just want to talk to someone knowing that they will understand and listen without judgment as for my pregnancy it's a complicated story Amanda told Deborah everything about her ex-boyfriend Deborah only shook her head
and wondered you're really something my friend I admire you to be honest you're so brave decided to take a risk for the sake of strangers and even being pregnant it's worth a lot your Mitchell should kiss your feet and take my advice don't Gore yourself don't torment me in vain and just trust your heart and fate everything will be as it should be believe me give birth to a baby love him grow it is the greatest happiness if Mitchell really loves you sooner or later he will reveal this and the child is not a hindrance
I was foolish in my youth I had a fight with my fiance and I terminated my pregnancy quickly without thinking I took a sin on my soul and now I'm 37 and I have have neither children nor a husband do you know how many times I've regretted what I did I could have raised a baby and not felt lonely that's right you're a good fighter way to go Amanda took Deborah's hand and said Deborah thank you for all you have done for me please visit me from time to time I'd be pleased to honestly I've
never had any real friends and I trust you I feel you're a good person so let's be friends Deborah rejoiced I'm all for it I have Sunday off if you like let's go for a walk let's look for some interesting baby things fashionable strollers and we'll have a chat from that day on Amanda and Deborah became thick as thieves the women had a lot to talk about They Were Somehow close to each other internally just like sisters when Amanda had contractions in the middle of the night she did not hesitate to call her Deborah I
apologize for calling at night I think it started my belly hurts so much then squeeze then let go no strength I'm so scared what should I do Deborah woke up immediately and started giving her commands first of all calm down I will now organize you a transport and you get dressed get ready and wait for me I'll be right back do not forget the most important things and documents and remember everything's going to be okay Dr Brewster is a great obstetrician and she is on shift today and I'll be there for you then Deborah called

were concerned that I couldn't do it on my own but Mark and I pushed through and now here he is my little miracle where's Mitchell did he go home Deborah chuckled and said I doubt he left you should have seen how worried he was about you he paced like a caged tiger bombarding me with questions he loves you Amanda that's for sure I think he'll propose to you soon will I be your maid of honor Amanda's heart skipped a beat and she exclaimed you think so I'm so grateful that both of you are here that
you both appeared in my life I was pregnant and alone with only my neighbor support Deborah smiled and said I'll be happy to babysit the little serious baby I know he will grow fond of me on a discharging day Mitchell arrived dressed in an expensive suit with a bouquet of flowers Deborah had been with Amanda all morning helping her get ready curling her with a curling iron and teasing her your Romeo is downstairs waiting impatiently confused and Amanda asked Deborah what is all this it feels like we're getting ready for a party I'm just being
discharged why all the expensive outfits the nurse chuckled and replied who knows who knows one thing I can tell you is that you're in for a surprise as Amanda stepped outside Mitchell rushed to her while Debra took little Mark In Her Arms Mitchell took out from his pocket a beautiful box and opened it dear Amanda I congratulate you on the birth of your son I want to put this ring on your finger as a symbol that we are more than friends now I love you darling and I want you to become my wife will you
marry me the nurses applauded and the sound of a champagne bottle being opened filled the air even the elderly janitor paused his work to witness the scene overwhelmed with emotions Amanda sobbed and whispered I agree I love you too and I can't help it Deborah clapped her hands and shouted cheers as she raised a glass of champagne she was genuinely happy that two loving hearts were finally United Amanda moved into Mitchell's mansion and the couple officially tied the knot Mitchell adopted Mark giving him his surname three years passed Amanda and Mitchell lived harmoniously Amanda deeply
appreciated her husband's loyalty devotion generosity and care and she never regretted marrying Mitchell one February amidst the cold frosts and snowstorms Mitchell suddenly suggested darling why don't we go to a warm sea to a resort what's stopping us we'll warm ourselves in the Sun what do you think Amanda squealed with joy of course I'm for it I've never been abroad but I'd love to you're the best m Mark we're going to the Sea are you happy Mark clapped his hands and the packing started the couple visited a travel agency to select a suitable tour the
receptionist a friendly girl greeted them warmly offered them coffee and tried to assist them she said we're delighted that you've chosen our agency our manager Steven will assist you 5 minutes later Mitchell and Amanda sat down in comfortable chairs and Amanda was holding Mark in her arms while they waited for the manager when the manager approached them Amanda greeted him but didn't immediately recognize why he seemed familiar upon closer inspection she realized that it was her ex-boyfriend Steven it turned out that he hadn't made any career advancements over the years and remained a manager just
as he was before Amanda quickly remembered their breakup and decided to play along by pretending not to to remember him she cooly said my husband son and I would like to choose a family tour to the Sea what options do you have to offer but Steven was visibly flustered and unable to provide a proper response his mind was consumed with thoughts like is that gorgeous woman really that plain waitress Amanda it can't be her husband must be wealthy and the baby is so adorable he even resembles me wait she was pregnant when I left her
what if he's my son lost in his thoughts Steven barely heard Mitchell's voice saying hey man are you even listening to me I've been telling you for an hour when we want to go and you're just mumbling to yourself maybe we should try another agency instead I'm dissatisfied with this type of service however Steven acted as if he hadn't heard and exhaled before deciding Amanda don't you recognize me it's me Steven tell me is this my son what's his name Mitchell raised an eyebrow and answered stiffly this is my son Mark lebman any more questions
you're obviously out of your mind Amanda let's get out of here we've wasted our time he's crazy Amanda calmly replied don't get excited my love the man has made a mistake Mitchell took his wife by the elbow and his son by the hand and they left the agency Steven got a big shock losing such clients and such a woman after all Peggy had left him a long time ago he never made a career and he still lived with his parents the only entertainment for him was beer and soccer on weekends that was how life went
on today seeing Amanda so radiant and happy he suddenly felt offended and angry with himself now his son called another man Daddy and loved him not Steven and what was he left left with there were few people willing to marry a simple manager without a place to live and any prospects only Amanda had loved him so sincerely and devotedly if only he could turn back time he would never have let her go but it was too late for that Amanda and Mitchell went on vacation enjoying the sun and water coming back completely happy and satisfied
and a month later they received another surprise Amanda found out that she was pregnant Mitchell hugged and kissed her spinning around and rejoicing like a child and Amanda thought to herself if someone had told me that I would meet a on the road marry him and have his child I wouldn't have believed it and now I'm the happiest I've ever been that's fate soon Amanda decided to play matchmaker for her best friend and introduced her to Mitchell's friend and partner and Andrew it turned out to be a great decision they had a passionate romance and
soon Deborah also became pregnant now Mitchell and Amanda joyfully shouted cheers at their Best Friend's Wedding wishing them only happiness the two couples often gathered for joint vacations grilling kebabs playing board games and simply enjoying a friendly and fun time together to be loved is more valuable than being Rich because being loved means being happy everyone knows this truth but not everyone is fortunate enough to experience love and be loved in life however our heroes managed to achieve it
