Ann couldn't run wearing four-inch stiletto shoes; she can only walk towards Sophia who's now laying in the ground. "Mrs. Tan!-Mrs. Tan wake up! are you ok!" Ann's concern is showing in her beautiful face.

Lea was stunned lost her word or action for what she's seeing.

Sophia came out off it. "I'm ok! don't worry I'm fine, give me a minute to get situated," She assured Ann with a pained smile on her lips.

Barely audible she whispers said," Mom, don't worry; Dad's going to be alright, get yourself together, please is not helping anything." Only Sophia could hear what she said.

A nurse came with a bottle of water, handed it to Sophia who's situating herself. "Thank you!" Sophia reply with a smile, to ease the people around from worrying.

"Mom, since we cannot do anything right now, why don't we wait in the VIP room first, too many prying eyes here. You have an image to protect " Ann told Sophia looking stressed herself.

" Yes! Mrs. Tan, please wait in the VIP room first, will inform you right away once the situation is known." The Director of the hospital who just arrived in the scene told Sophia. He followed up saying " They are doing the best, nothing should happen to Mr. Tan, please! just wait in the VIP room first." coaching them out of the ICU section.

Sophia looked around and saw many Hospital staff looking at her. To avoid it, she followed the Directors suggestion and went to the VIP room to wait for news of Albert.

They only have less than a couple of hours before they need to be at the venue. Anxiety is clearly showing in Mother and daughter's faces. The scene in the ICU was uncontrollable.

While they were waiting for the result, Ann called Jeff wanting to inform him of the situation. However, in reality, she just needed to hear her husband voice to comfort herself. Jeff is a dose of medicine for her emotion, and she needed him right now.

"Hello!" Jeff answered, knowing it's his wife on the other line.

Ronald who's standing in front of him waiting; "...?' Once he heard the way Jeff answered, he knew instantly; his talking to Missus. He smiled and stepped out to give them privacy.

" What's up? Everything all right? Why is your voice sound strained? " Concern is adamant in his voice.

" Jeff... It's Albert, His... his... " Ann couldn't complete her words and started sniffling.

" Honey! Don't cry! What is it? Tell me?, What's going on?" Jeff is now panicking; bombarded Ann with multiple questions back to back without giving her a chance to reply. " What happens to Albert?"

" His in Code Blue right now; it's very chaotic here right now;" Ann told him. "We don't know anything yet; we're still waiting to hear from the Hospital staff."

" Do you want me to delay the meeting for now? Is that why your calling?"

'Why didn't she taught of that? Jeff read her mind.' She tries to make her voice more cheerful before replying. " Yes! If you can, we need to wait for the result. Until then, we should delay the board meeting. What do you think?"

"Leave it to me! I'll take care of it. I will arrange everything. Moreover, Albert will be fine ok! He has not met his daughter yet; he will not go anywhere, understand?" That word alone assured Ann now felt better.

Not a minute passed after hanging up; the Director came in the door to give them the news. " Mrs. Tan, Ms. ?.." looking at Ann not recognizing her. " As I was saying, you may be at ease now, Mr. Tan is out of danger. It was just a false alarm. He's awake now and in stable condition. Whenever your ready, you and Ms. here, may go see him." The Director said with concern in his eyes.

Somewhere in the Hospital, A Nurse is calling Claudia to inform her that the plan had failed.
