"Everything has been brought back." Bastian asked Zayden, who was talking to Javier near the Black Cat headquarters.
"Yes, only the dead; we bury them there," Zayden replied.
They looked at the large medical tent that served as an emergency treatment centre. The tent was a temporary place to treat injured Black Cat members, while the emergency room at the headquarters was occupied by patients with severe injuries. The rest that could not be treated, such as burn patients, were rushed to Heaven Hospital.
The atmosphere inside the tent was very tense; screams of pain were heard from several patients who had just undergone surgery.
"It looks like this situation will take some time," said Bastian.
"Yeah, they're really tough. Even though they were badly injured, they still managed to survive," Zayden replied. "Dad, how is Uncle Lukas?" asked Zayden.
"The surgery was successful; Lukas has now been moved to the intensive care unit; hopefully he wi
Ariana stepped slowly into the stuffy, cramped, and humid dungeon belonging to Black Cat headquarters. Although the place was kept clean, the air felt restricted due to the lack of ventilation. The dim light surrounding the room added to the tense atmosphere.In one of the cells, a battered and badly injured Jonathan stood with his hands tied above his head. His body was covered in bruises and scratches, making his appearance even more pathetic. A guard unlocked the lock and opened the door, letting Ariana in. Hearing the sound of the metal door being opened, Jonathan raised his head, and with a slight frown on his forehead, he looked at Ariana with weak, expectant eyes.When he heard Ariana's footsteps, Jonathan turned to the woman.Ariana, who was already standing in front of Jonathan, smiled with satisfaction, laughing mockingly at Jonathan's suffering."Who would have thought there would be a moment like this?" Ariana said mockingly, "I can avenge my
What if you gave your scarf and umbrella to a stranger? Ivy asked. She and Olivia were already enjoying breakfast together."Yes, for some reason, seeing him made my heart race; my eyes heated up, and I felt like crying as I hugged him. I believe you have been watching dramas excessively, and the man from last night was quite attractive. I might have gotten a suggestion from the drama and wanted to hug him," Olivia said innocently, but Ivy understood what she meant. She clearly knew that the man must be Zayden."So that is why you provided me with the scarf and umbrella until I returned home with a cold?" Though less awkward than when they moved in, Ivy was teased."Yes, because he looks sad and has a pale face. I'm afraid he's sick," Olivia replied pensively, remembering Zayden's face last night. "It's like he's not okay.""Yes, Master misses Madame very much. He sacrificed his own feelings to protect her," Ivy thought. She wanted so badly to say that, b
Currently, Olivia and Ivy are busy working in a greenhouse filled with various fruit plants. The cold wind doesn't dampen their spirits as they work hard to find ripe fruit.Although the harvest this time was not as plentiful due to the cold winter that affected the fruit growth, Olivia still showed her enthusiasm and happiness as she carefully picked fruit after fruit that had ripened. The smile on her face shows how much she enjoys her job.Meanwhile, Ivy was equally eager to find ripe fruits. But she looks more focused and calm than the excited and cheerful Olivia. Both of their hands are skillfully sorting through the fruits that are worth harvesting; no matter how few fruits they find, they continue their work with gratitude.Occasionally, they share stories and laughter while working, making the cold greenhouse atmosphere warmer through their togetherness. As time goes by, the amount of fruit they harvest continues to grow, although not as much as in other
"Sis?" Ivy had just arrived at the villa, and she saw Olivia sitting on the sofa, hugging her legs by the fireplace, warming herself up."Are you home, Iv?" asked Olivia, wiping her tears.Ivy walked slowly over to Olivia and sat beside her. Her master had told her that Olivia had left in tears. Zayden asked Ivy to catch up with Olivia and ask what had happened; he was concerned about his wife. She was afraid that something had happened to her."Yes. I heard you left right away. What happened? Are you sick?" Ivy asked."Um, no. I'm fine," Olivia replied, trying to show a calm expression."But you were crying, right? Why were you crying? Does anything hurt or make you uncomfortable?" Ivy asked."Ivy, I want to ask you one thing." Olivia looked at Ivy seriously."Ask? What do you want to ask?" Ivy tried to remain calm, but her heart was racing, fearing Olivia might ask a question she couldn't respond to."By the way, had I ever met the owner of the Sanders Corp. factory prior to the acc
"Zayden?" Olivia opened her eyes with a gasp and got up from her position. Her body was already drenched in sweat."That was just a dream?" muttered Olivia, rubbing her face furiously. "Why did I dream of Mr. Zayden? In the past, what exactly was my relationship with him like? Then why did I shoot him?" mumbled Olivia, who really didn't understand any of it.Olivia heard the sound of a car engine outside her house. She got up from her position and entered the bathroom to wash her face with water and brush her teeth. Afterwards, Olivia emerged from her room and noticed a guest arriving to meet Ivy. Out of curiosity, Olivia went out of her house, approaching Ivy."Mr. Zayden?" asked Olivia, forcing Zayden and Ivy to look at her. Zayden had come to his senses, so he stopped his important conversation with Ivy."I thought you were still sleeping," Zayden said, sounding more relaxed. At that moment, Ivy walked away and left Zayden and Olivia alone to talk.
Zayden walked into the stuffy prison. He stood in front of Jonathan, who was in the cell. The man was no longer bound to stand up; his bonds had been removed, but he was still in the Sanders family's prison cell."It looks like you've blended in and are comfortable with the atmosphere in this prison," Zayden said, folding his arms across his chest and looking at Jonathan, who was looking at him with a hostile gaze."You're really tough, Jonathan. Even in a situation like this, you still look at me with hostility," Zayden chuckled. "You should be antagonizing Jakson, not me."Jonathan didn't answer at all and chose to remain silent, staring in the opposite direction."I heard that Jakson is still in Switzerland," said Zayden. "Do you know where he might be?" Zayden asked.Jonathan laughed there. "Do you think I'm going to answer your silly question? Even though Jakson betrayed me, he'll definitely come back to kill you!" Jonathan said."Oh, r
"Oh, Zayden!"Taylor found Zayden sitting in the park, gazing at the beautiful scenery. Her face was beaming when she met him."Zayden!" she exclaimed with a big smile, then ran over to Zayden and hugged him tightly. "I missed you so much."However, Zayden did not seem to welcome Taylor's embrace. With a flat expression, he let go of her hug and said, "Sorry, Taylor. I don't want to be disturbed."Taylor was shocked to hear Zayden's words. "W-what do you mean, Zayden?""I want to be alone. Go to your room." Zayden sent the woman away dispassionately."But why? These past few days, you have been ignoring me and disappearing; you appear to have no regard for my well-being. Why are you treating me cruelly? Aren't I your fiancé?" Taylor inquired, staring at Zayden with a fierce and painful gaze."I'm not your fiancé anymore, Taylor. Zayden said in a stern voice, "At least you know that I'm married, even though Jakson has bee
"Uncle Lukas?" Zayden greeted Lukas, who had regained consciousness and had fully recovered his wounds."Oh, Zayden. How was the war situation back then? I'm sorry that Om couldn't help until the end," Lukas said."No problem. Everything is resolved well. I should be the one thanking Uncle for protecting me," Zayden said."No problem; Uncle should have done that. Thankfully, the shot didn't hit a vital organ," Lukas replied."Yes. "Uncle Rest, I've transferred the problem to Julio at the Black Cat headquarters," Zayden said."Yes, Uncle will keep a close watch; you don't need to worry."After some small talk, Zayden left and met up with David, who was looking for him."Mr. Zayden?" David stopped Zayden right there."Are you back, David?" asked Zayden as he looked at David and his partner, Ery."Yes, sir.""How did it go? Did you find any clues about Jakson and the secret place?" Zayden asked.We visited the
