Sara had just left Jia's room, making sure she was asleep when she heard some commotion from Yohan's bedroom.
"Fucking hell," she heard him say angrily.
Intrigued and a bit worried, Sara grabbed a jug of water and cautiously approached the master bedroom. Slowly opening the door, she found Yohan talking on the phone with visible frustration. Things were scattered on the floor, thrown in anger. Sara set the jug down on the tea table and stood behind Yohan, eavesdropping on the conversation.
Yohan, seething with anger, clenched his fist and shouted into the phone, "What the hell is this, Nolan? How could we lose that deal to some newcomers? Are we a joke to them? I want an explanation, and it better be good!"
Nolan said something from the other end of the call, and Yohan hung up impatiently, clenching his teeth as he lit a cigarette. Sara stepped ahead and placed her palm on his shoulder.

Sara picked up Jia from school, ensuring they reached October Villa on time. After dinner, Jia delved into her studies while Sara immersed herself in her project. As the clock struck eleven, Jia had already drifted into slumber. Yohan entered the villa to find Sara engrossed in her laptop on the couch. Closing her laptop, she looked at him with concern."You came late. Was there so much work?" Sara inquired as Yohan slumped down beside her. Resting his head on her lap, he let out a deep sigh, closing his eyes.Sara, tenderly placing her palm on his forehead, asked in her loving voice, "How was your day?"Yohan, still silent, buried his face in Sara's stomach, wrapping his arms around her waist. Concerned, Sara gently asked, "What's the matter, Yohan?"Sara kept caressing Yohan's hair, lost in her thoughts. The weight of the hidden truth about Noah's real identity weighed heavily on her. She couldn't shake off the regret of not revealing this truth to Yoha

"Madam..." Nisha interrupted Sara's thoughts. Sara instructed her, "Warm up the food, please."After dinner, Yohan headed straight to the study room. Sara went to the master bedroom to ensure everything was in order. She picked up Yohan's blazer from the stand to send it to the laundry. As she grabbed the shoes to have them cleaned, she noticed traces of blood on them. Sara froze, realizing it wasn't her imagination; she had indeed smelled blood while around him. Placing the shoes in a box, she put the blazer in the laundry basket and hurried to the dressing room to check further.

Eric glanced at the meal set on the table, then rose from his chair and took out a cigarette to smoke. Exhaling smoke into the air, he shifted his gaze towards Sara's purse. In the washroom, Sara splashed cold water on her face, feeling overwhelmed and uneasy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she panted, feeling a rush of emotions. Everything felt too familiar— the same dishes Kevin had ordered for them in the past, the same restaurant, the same cabin, the same table, and chair. Was it all coincidental? When she returned from the washroom, she found Eric standing near the window, smoking. Attempting to reassure him, she said, "Yes, I am. I am sorry."

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.
