Rita's scream broke out. Odette scooped her up and headed for the room.
"Chillax, Rita! I'm gonna call an ambulance!" Odette settled Rita on the couch, dug out her phone from
her bag, and dialed emergency services.
Rita broke into uncontrollable sobs, "Is my dad dead? He doesn't even know I'm his daughter yet!"
Odette, with one hand cradling a tear-streaked Rita and the other on her phone, dialed for help.
After giving them their location, Odette hung up. "Rita, stay put, I'm gonna go check things out." Odette
told Rita before darting out.

Horizon College.
Violette got a call from the Vice Principal of Horizon College in the morning so she brought Ian along.
Ian had just bagged the championship title at the National Children's Programming Contest yesterday.
He wasn't the youngest among all the contestants, but he was the youngest to make it to the finals.
What was even more mind-blowing was that he took home the championship.
"Even though Ian skipped the prelims and went straight to the finals, our aim in hosting this contest is
to scout for talents. For a whiz kid like Ian, we're more than willing to bend the rules." The Vice
Principal said, beaming, "Ms. Dennis, would you consider letting Ian join our Talent Program?"
Violette had already done her homework on Horizon College's Talent Program. Every graduate from
the Talent Program was a high-flyer in their respective field. Of course, she'd be thrilled to have Ian join
the Talent Program.
"Ian, would you like to give it a shot?" She asked her son in a low voice.
"Mum, I'll go with whatever you say." Ian said.
"Ian, I've been trying to find a place where you can thrive. I want you to try out different environments
so you can find the one that suits you best." Violette shared her thoughts with her son, not wanting to
let him down.
"Ms. Dennis, you don't have to worry. You can let Ian come to us for a trial period before deciding." The
Vice Principal suggested kindly.
"Alright. Thank you for that." Violette said.
After leaving Ian with the Vice Principal, Violette left the school. She took out her phone from her bag
and saw two missed calls from Odette. Apart from the missed calls, Odette had also sent her a few
messages.

[I've called an ambulance!]
[The ambulance took him away! I didn't go with him. I've called Ramsey!]
[Did something happen between you two again? Call me back as soon as you see these messages!
Rita was so scared she can't stop crying!]
...
Violette's heart clenched. She immediately called back.
Odette picked up, "Violette, don't worry. He's alright. He fainted from overwork."
"Overwork?" Violette's grip on her phone tightened as she repeated, "He looked fine when I saw him
yesterday."
Violette's heart ached. She quickened her pace towards her car.
"How are things on your end? Everything smooth sailing?" Odette switched to a lighter topic.

Violette frowned, completely baffled by Elijah's actions. They quarreled all the time. Yesterday's spat
was nothing out of the ordinary.
What on earth happened to him? Why did he push himself to the brink like this?
