The call was from Nelson. "Selina, where are you? Joseph's been hurt, it's critical. Get to Lumina Hospital as soon as possible." Nelson's voice was unusually tense, completely lacking his typical calm composure. Before Selina could ask more, he hung up.Standing beside her, David had overheard Nel
Though the news had been suppressed in Lumina, those who needed to know did. David had been having Bruno watched, worried he might target Selina. But no one had anticipated this move.Selina's eyes widened with curiosity and confusion. "What does his running away have to do with Joseph getting hurt?
Upon arriving in Lumina, Selina rushed to the hospital Nelson had mentioned.Joseph had been in emergency surgery for four hours, and it still wasn't over.When Joseph was brought to the hospital, he was reportedly covered in blood - practically drenched in it. He was barely breathing and looked ter
When coming from Auroville, he had deliberately brought manpower with him.Worried it wouldn't be enough, he had borrowed some people from Vincent.Now with both sides at a standoff, the people outside couldn't rush in, and they couldn't get out.In this stalemate, they weren't exactly losing.After

Worried, William had secretly returned to Meracia, only to find she had taken a leave of absence and disappeared.He couldn't search openly, so he quietly hired private investigators.But then his family's successive crises had forced him to abandon the search.Now, by coincidence, Josefina had reap
When Selina gave her that all-knowing look, Josefina became increasingly uncomfortable, wanting to shrink into herself.When David's people first found her, her initial fear was that Selina had discovered her child and would side with William to take the child away.After all, living with her, the c
Even if Josefina's demands were more extreme than Anya's.After a moment's silence, Josefina said, "I need to make a phone call home before deciding."Selina nodded, and Josefina smiled slightly before stepping outside with her phone.After a while, she returned and nodded to Selina, agreeing to get
When Selina learned Anya's true identity, she was shocked.Now she remembered why the name Anya had seemed familiar. Back in Meracia, Anya was the one who had conspired with the agent to set up William against her. Selina couldn't believe that after she left Meracia, Anya had undergone plastic surg
She had no idea David knew about her other identity."I figured it out when I saw Liam and Noah working for you," David answered honestly.He had accidentally discovered Liam and Noah's identities and guessed her identity from their attitude toward her.That's when he realized that getting S's autho
When Selina asked about it, David realized that his mind had been too preoccupied at the hospital earlier to properly hear what Vincent had said.He called Vincent back.Seeing that David was finally back to normal, Vincent couldn't help but ask what had happened earlier.David glanced at Selina and
When Selina asked about his drinking the night before, David, not wanting her to hear it from Nelson, told her about the woman who had tried to seduce him.Not only had she tried to seduce him, but she'd drugged him and tried to take him away.But Selina's attention was caught by Nelson's involvemen
David held Selina tightly, as if wanting to meld her into his very bones."You're all I've ever wanted," David whispered helplessly in her ear. "If having a child means losing you, I'd rather not have the child."His hopes for this child existed only because it was his and Selina's.That she would g
