They found a hiding spot beneath a large rock near a small stream, far away from any medical help. Yohan searched frantically for a solution and noticed the nearby flowing water. He gathered wood sticks and used two stones to create a fire, hoping to keep Sara warm in the chilly jungle night. Carefully, he carried her and settled her into the water, supporting her in a seated position.

The water provided some relief from the pain and discomfort, while the fire offered warmth.

Sara's pain became unbearable, causing her to scream loudly. Yohan was concerned about the noise attracting unwanted attention, which could be dangerous for both of them. So, he gently covered her mouth, allowing her to bite him if needed. He endured the pain, focusing on ensuring a safe delivery. Placing his other hand on her stomach, he tried to feel the baby's movements, sensing that the baby was nearly ready to be born.

In a hushed tone, he whispered to Sara, "Just a little longer, Sara. You're doing great. J

    "No! I can't leave without him!" Sara cried out.Kevin Johnson put a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down. "Sara, we have to leave. It's not safe here.

    Natalie and Bruno exited Sara's room after she fell asleep, and they stood outside the room, observing her through the large glass window. "It's a miracle that she made it out alive," Natalie said softly to Bruno.Bruno nodded in agreement. "Yes, she's a fighter. But we still have to find out who did this to her and why."Natalie sighed, "I don't know if we'll ever find out. It all seems so unreal."Bruno put his arm around her shoulder. "We'll figure it out. For now, let's just be grateful that Sara and Ricky are alive."They stood there in silence, watching Sara's chest rise and fall with each breath.As they turned to leave, Bruno's phone rang.

    As Rosy removed the needle from Sara's palm, she posed a question, "Shouldn't you ask about your own well-being?"Sara responded, "Their lives hold greater importance to me, Rosy.""Well, your life is equally valuable to them. The doctor mentioned that you need to undergo another test today, and if the infection is under control, you may be discharged soon."Sara remained unresponsive, her primary concern focused solely on her family. Rosy cleansed the wound with antiseptic and offered a reassuring smile, saying, "You may freshen up now, Mrs. Dixon. I will bring you breakfast.""Thank you," Sara said and as soon as Rosy departed, she wiped away her tears and anxiously bit her lip.Having been discharged from the hospital, Sara was still prohibited from visiting Yohan Dixon.

She had been eagerly awaiting the moment when Yohan would regain consciousness, and now it had finally arrived.She took a deep breath and entered the room slowly. Approaching Yohan's bed, she noticed his weakened and tired appearance, but his eyes were open, and he was aware.Standing next to her husband's bed, Sara Owen experienced a whirlwind of emotions. She reached out and held Yohan's hand.Yohan looked at Sara blankly."Yohan..."

    Three times in the night the nurse came to check on Yohan and all three times she found Sara sitting near Yohan's bed. The nurse asked her every time to go to sleep. Because Yohan was not likely to wake up due to drug intoxication. But Sara avoided it by saying that she wants to see her husband to the fullest. As the first rays of morning spread over the city, Yohan also woke up from his sleep. He looked at the bottle connected to his pulse which still had fluid left in it. Then his eyes fell on Sara. She was sleeping by placing her head on the bed near his palm. Her innocent face didn't touch Yohan's heartstrings this time. Then, the nurse entered the room and greeted Yohan, "Good morning, Mr. Dixon." Yohan's voice was soft, “I want to use toilet” His words stirred Sara from her sleep, and she remained silent upon noticing the nurse's presence. "Good morning, Madam," the nurse greeted Sara. "Good morning," Sara responded with a gentle smile, standing up from her seat. The nur

    In the morning… As Yohan woke up, he was surprised to find Sara arranging bouquets in his room. She greeted him with a warm smile and invited him for breakfast before hurrying off. Sara wanted Yohan to spend more time with everyone, hoping it would help trigger his memory of the past. The breakfast she prepared brought joy with its delightful aroma and taste. Sara went off to work, unable to return for lunch, and Yohan didn't enjoy the food prepared by the cook. When the housekeeper came to invite Yohan for dinner, he refused and sent her away. Yohan sat on the couch, engrossed in a book, when Sara entered his room wearing a kitchen apron. "Why don't you want to eat? You know it's important to have your meals and take your medicines on time. Don't be careless," Sara said, sounding annoyed. "I don't feel like eating," Yohan replied coldly. "I've made everything ready. Forget all this and come with me," she insisted, snatching the book from his hands and grabbing his wrist to dr

    "How... How is that possible? I remember, we chatted the morning I got attacked. You were the one telling me the baby was all healthy. What the hell happened?" "Maybe it's just my rotten luck, Jemma. But seeing you with Sunny, I can't help but be grateful you made it through and had a healthy baby." "Oh, Jia..." Jemma enveloped her in a tight hug, both women clinging to each other as tears flowed freely. Meanwhile, Noah reached the October Villa. As he approached, Yohan shot him a glare colder than a snowstorm. "Dad... Mom..." Noah greeted them, his eyes darting around to gauge the situation. Sunny was playing with Yohan. Noah swallowed hard, sensing trouble. "How can you be so careless, Jimmy? Why'd you let Jemma come here alone at this hour? You know the danger's not over yet," Sara scolded, her tone edged with worry. "Mom, I didn't want her to come, but she insisted..." "You're avoiding the situation, Jimmy.

    "Jimmy, it's been days. I want to see her and the baby. What's the big deal?"He sighed, "I promise, we'll go later. I just need to sort some things out first."Jemma, growing more anxious, insisted, "But I've been waiting, Jimmy. I can't wait any longer. What's going on?"Noah, worried about her mental state, softened his tone, "Listen, babe. Trust me, I'll take you to see Jia, okay? I don't want to rush into things."Jemma, feeling a pang of doubt, couldn't hold back, "Are you hiding something from me? Why won't you just take me?""No, Jemma, it's not like that.""Jimmy..." her eyes turned tearful."Okay. I'll take you out to dinner tonight, at October Villa. Jia's staying there, and we can see her afterward. Deal?"Jemma hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, dinner it is. But you better not forget about it.Noah smiled, relieved that he had managed to divert her attention, "I won't. Now, let me get going, okay?"Jemma agreed, watching him leave for the office.

    Noah trudged back from work, the day's burdens still hanging on his shoulders. Opening the bedroom door, he caught sight of Jemma singing a lullaby to Sunny in her sweet voice. Emotions surged within him, and he quietly closed the door, not wanting to disturb their tender moment.Sinking into the living room couch, Noah leaned back with a heavy sigh. Guilt and regret enveloped him as he grappled with the reality of their situation. Conflicting emotions swirled as he recognised the joy in Jemma's happiness but couldn't shake the haunting feeling that everything was amiss.Jemma placed Sunny in the cot and, on her way to the kitchen for water, found Noah sitting in the dimly lit living room, a cigarette in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other. She touched his shoulder, and he opened his eyes, extinguishing the cigarette and placing the glass on the table."Tired?" she asked.Noah sighed deeply, rubbing the gap between his eyes. "Is Sunny asleep?"Jemma nodded, her palm on his che

    The next morning dawned, casting a feeble light across the hospital room. The oxygen mask, a constant companion in her struggle for breath, had been removed, leaving her vulnerable in the stark hospital room.As Jemma slowly opened her eyes, the sterile scent of the hospital greeted her senses. Her gaze fell on Noah, sitting at the edge of the bed, his face etched with a mixture of exhaustion and sorrow. Desperation flickered in her eyes, and as she tried to speak, her voice emerged as a raspy whisper, "Jimmy... where's our baby?"Noah's heart clenched at the question, the weight of the unspoken truth hanging heavily in the air. He hesitated, avoiding her gaze, and gently urged, "Jemma, just take it easy. You need to rest."But Jemma, fueled by a mother's instinct and the gnawing fear that something was amiss, persisted, "Jimmy, please, where's our baby? Why won't you tell me?"His throat tightened with the burden of the truth he wasn't ready to share. Trying to divert her attention,

The terrace became a haven for Noah, who stood near the railing, his hands tucked into his pockets, gazing into the vast darkness.Jacob approached silently, standing beside him.Noah's shoulders slumped, burdened by the weight of the night. Understanding the unspoken unrest, Jacob placed a hand on Noah's shoulder."It's tough, Jimmy," Jacob finally said.Noah remained silent, still lost in the abyss of his thoughts."It's okay, Jimmy. It's not your mistake." Jacob added."You shouldn't have brought Jia here," Noah mumbled."I couldn't lie to her, and... I couldn't stop her," Jacob replied."How's she?" Noah asked, his voice strained."She's fine. Delivery went smoothly, not too hard on her. It's life.""How's the baby?" Noah's voice caught in his throat.

The cool sweetness lifted her spirits, turning a mundane evening into a delight.As Jemma indulged in her favourite ice cream, she decided to tease Noah, ignoring his earlier warnings about venturing out alone. Clueless about the impending twist in her evening, she initiated a video call, capturing the picturesque scene of her enjoying the sweet treat.Noah's face lit up when he saw Jemma's call, and his initial joy was evident as he glimpsed her savouring the ice cream.

    Yohan looked straight into her eyes, "Your mother didn't make a mistake giving birth to you and your brother. Being a mother ain't a mistake. The real mistake is not being able to bring a child into the world. And you didn't make a mistake wanting to bring life into this world."Jia lowered her head, tears welling up."He's a good guy. I'm proud of you."Jia rested her head on his shoulder, and he tightened his grip on her hand, patting it with his other hand."Jimmy's mad at him, not at you or your child. They're buddies. They'll figure it out.""Thanks, Dad."…Noah stepped out of the bathroom, catching sight of Jemma massaging her own feet. With a quick stride, he approached her."What are you doing? Lie down," he insisted, guiding her to lean back onto the bed. Noah grabbed a cushion, placing it behind her for support. Carefully, he lifted her leg, settling it on his thigh, and started massaging it gently.Jemma looked at him deeply, a gentle smile playing on her lips, radiating w

"Jacob...""Don't worry, I'll talk to him. Let me go.""No... no... please... please, Jacob..."Jacob gently released his hand from her grip and stepped out of the bedroom. Noah caught sight of him, and his anger surged."Freaking scoundrel!" Ignoring Jemma, he shoved her aside and lunged at Jacob."Jimmy... Jimmy..."

Who the hell leaves you in such a condition?" he shouted angrily."No brother, don't do anything to him. Please... he was going to tell you...""When? After the baby's born?

Ask her who he is or get her ready to see his dead body in twenty-four hours."Saying that, he stormed out of the apartment furiously, leaving everyone shocked and scared.
