Updated at Mar 13, 2022, 20:54
Doctor Joshua Moralez lived on the island for more than twenty years as a doctor on a small island populated only by more than two hundred people. When he first came to the island, he was taken aback because of its backwardness and simplicity, so he bowed to help the villagers and build a small clinic which he had built with the help of the residents. He married one of the locals and left him a daughter when she died of cancer, just after three years. The widower did not marry again but focused all his time on his child who grew up to be a very pretty young woman. The doctor came from a reputable family in the city and his family owned a private hospital where he became an intern. He met a young nurse and he fell in love with her but the nurse did not reciprocate his love - she loves someone else - the billionaire son of the hotel and restaurant magnate Fyodor Kraishek, a Russian businessman who met an heiress in the country and fell in love with her. The heiress' family owned the Sapiro Real Estate Company. Aside from that land business, her family-owned hectares of land in faraway provinces, make the match a win-win situation for both parties. Luisa Sapiro bore a son, Ivan Alexis Sapiro Kraishek . The young man grew up pampered by his family, spoiled, and had never been seriously in love until he met the young nurse - Monica Gonzales. They met at a party where she was invited by a friend and was easily smitten by the handsome billionaire. Both fell in love, but the nurse loves him more. The doctor became aware that his love for the woman will never be realized especially when he saw the billionaire come to the hospital for the nurse and saw him kissing her. He lost his mind, got jealous, and punched the heir. Monica got angry at him and told him never to talk to her again. With agitation and a sense of unrequited love, he decided to leave the hospital and go to a faraway place, that is when he found the island. where he became the only doctor of the place. The billionaire and the nurse kept their affair a secret for the latter came from a middle-income family and will never be accepted by the wealthy family of the former. They got married without anyone's knowledge and had a child - Ivan Alexis Gonzales Kraishek Jr. Due to an illness, his secret wife died and left a five-year-old son, whom his father admired and loved the most. Ivan was forced to marry again, this time, no love was involved. His son was accepted by his parents just because he told them that he will only marry the woman they liked if they are willing to accept his son, which they thought was an illegitimate one. Many years have passed by but his love for his son's mother never faded away which made his wife very jealous and she knows what his Achilles heel was - his favored son. Unknown to him, his wife hired gunmen to hurt his son and finally disposed of him but the young man struggled and he managed to jump into the ocean on that one fateful night. The young man woke up in a small clinic and was surprised to see a young woman looking at her. He did not tell him his identity and kept it a secret to them. He met the fisherman who rescued him and the doctor that healed his wounds but he had no idea that the person who helped him was also the man who once loved his mother.
