Hon?

Hon, wake up! We'll be late!

Wake up!

Hon!

- You wait!

- No.

Hon, wait!

Hon, it must be work.

Place it on my table.

I'm on my way. Okay, bye.

- Good morning, ma'am.

- Erica.

- Sit up straight.

- What is it?

C'mon.

Is this it, Ma'am?

That'll do. Thank you.

- Is Jeff's gift in the car already?

- Yes, it is.

Okay.

Please tell Hazel I'm sorry

I won't be able to attend the party.

Okay.

I packed food in the kitchen

for my husband.

- Put it in his car.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- What is it?

I made you tuna sandwich.

You eat too much fastfood.

I also packed fruits and fresh juice.

You should take less softdrinks.

I only do once a week.

- Vitamins.

- How's the promotion?

Think you'll get it?

I hope so.

No doubt. I'm sure you'll get it.

You think so?

Of course.

When will you ever slow down?

Would you want me to?

I'd like that.

I can be your sexy wife by day,

and your dirty mistress by night.

Why can't it be the whole day?!

All day?

Botch ok, Uncle Tristan is here.

Botch ok, take your vitamin s.

Pass the ball!

He has not taken his vitamin s.

- Take this first.

- Take it now...

- Wow!

- I am strong now!

- Strong!

' Are you?

- You smell!

- Here, finish this.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Botch ok, I h ave to leave n ow.

Yes.

Be a good boy.

- Promise.

- Promise?

- Don't forget your medicines.

- Yes.

Grace, do what you have to do.

Rem ember, it's n ow or n ever.

Are you sure

you don't want me to go with you?

There's no need.

Aren't you going to La Union tomorrow?

I don't have to.

I can go after you.

Don't both er. I can do this.

Give me a call

as soon as you arrive in Manila.

You want me to call you

when I get there?

Yes.

And before I sleep?

Yes.

When I wake up in the morning?

Of course.

Before I eat?

Sure.

Before I take a bath?

I'd like that!

Why are you still here?

Weren't you in a hurry?

Where's your Madam?

She went back in.

Hon?

Hon?

I thought you already left.

I just had my period.

Hon, I'm sorry.

Okay. It's okay.

I'm tired of trying.

No, it's okay.

It will come. Okay?

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

The Pediatrician is right, Grace.

The blood bank will run out of supply

if you'll just rely on blood transfusion!

What your child needs

is bone marrow transplant.

That is the solution

to Severe Aplastic Anemia.

All of you were tested

but no one's match!

You 're hoping for a don or?

You have better chances

at winning the lottery.

What can we do?

Look for Batchok's father.

Congratulations everyone!

We did it again!

But it's just the start of our success.

Because soon, we're going to

launch Thompson & Grey Singapore.

Good job everyone!

Let's take over Asia!

Great presentation!

I'm sure we'll make it big in Singapore!

I'm sure we will, Ma'am!

Right team?

. Yes!

. Yes!

Thank you for approving

my emergency loan.

My husband can have his surgery.

Thank you so much.

- It's nothing.

- Thank you.

- Let me know. Give him my regards.

- Thank you.

Don't cry.

You know I can't accept this.

I think it's time.

I need to do this for my husband.

And the baby is long overdue.

Jaoq, I understan d.

Who doesn't want to have a family?

But how sure are you

this is what you really want?

You know you don't have to compromise.

You don't even need to apologize

for your success.

Especially now that you're up

for another promotion.

And may I remind you that the

Singapore expansion is also your baby?

This is also difficult for me.

But I have to do this.

You know why.

Hi, Hon, I'm at the office.

I'll see you tonight at dinner.

Did you confirm our booking?

Not yet, Sir.

Okay, just cancel it.

Yes, Sir.

Please sign this.

- Okay.

- Thank you

Grace?

Edward.

How are you?

It's been like what? 5, 6?

6 years.

You? How are you?

I'm fine.

HAPPY-

Are you married?

No.

Single.

But I have a boyfriend.

That's nice.

And I have a son.

He's 5 years old.

He's sick.

He needs the help of his father.

Hi, Hon, are you on your way?

I have a situation.

We need to talk.

Botch ok has Severe Aplastic Anemia.

He has to undergo

bone marrow transplant.

We have to help him.

Of course!

He's your son.

All I have to do

is undergo tissue-typing,

to see if I'm a match.

And if you are?

If I am, they will harvest my bone marrow

and transfer it to him.

And then we save a life.

It's important for me

to do it here in Manila.

We can help him better here.

I hope you don't mind me asking,

but why did you

tell my husband just now?

Why did you ask for help only now?

I don't know.

I was proud.

It's my fault.

I should have done this sooner.

Please don't think

I'm here to bother you.

I just need your help very badly.

I don't mean to cause trouble.

No.

You will not cause trouble

if you'll only get what you need.

How did you get here?

I'm with my driver.

What are you doing here?

I love you, Jacq.

How was your trip?

It was okay,

only there was heavy traffic.

The tissue-typing will take 5 days

so I decided to go home.

I hope Edward's a match,

so this will all be over.

I will go with you to Manila.

That's a good idea.

I missed you.

I missed you more.

How's the "mestizo"?

Very successfuI.

Wealth y.

And handsome, too.

Is he?

But not as handsome as you are!

I know.

And he's married. Wife's beautiful.

More beautiful than you?

No.

Sexier than you?

I'm sexier.

They have to catch the Adarn a bird

so the King will get well.

The King's sons went

to a mountain faraway,

but they all fell asleep.

How is the King going

to get well now, Mother?

The King has another son.

He is Prince Juan.

He is the only hope for the King.

So tonight, pray that the King

will get well, all right?

The King will get well, Mama.

That's why you need to pray

before you sleep.

Edward, Jacq,

this is Tristan, my boyfriend.

Edward.

Where's Botch ok?

He's in Baguio with his grandmother.

We just checked in at a hotel.

Where is Dra. Diesta's clinic?

I'm sorry, Mr. Mendoza.

Unfortunately, you are not a match.

But don '1 lose hope.

It's not a hopeless case.

If Botchok will have a sibling,

we will harvest

the bone marrow from him.

We have two options.

One is in-vitro fertilization.

We will take Edward's sperm cells,

and Grace's egg cells.

It's quite expensive.

That's not really an issue.

What if the in-vitro fails?

Well, that leads us to

the second option - the natural way.

The natural way?

Yes. Copulate, breed,

mate, screw, f***, sex.

What can be more natural than that?

It has high er success rate.

But in your case,

it seems more complicated too.

It won't be complicated.

Because it's never going to happen.

You're a good doctor, it will work.

Seriously, Jacq?

Another child?

Yes, I don't have a family.

But I get it! I do!

I understand the gravity of the situation

that the child needs a donor.

But it's not that simple.

The donor will be the sibling

of the son your husband had...

with that woman, that barrio lady!

What I find totally unbelievable is that
