The silence lingered, allowing Grace to mentally prepare for recounting the past events. Meanwhile, Axel also braced himself to face potentially heavy and startling revelations about Daisy.

"Uncle Axel, Aunt Grace, and Henry are ready. We can go to the hospital to visit Mom. Henry's voice broke the silence. Both Axel and Grace turned their gazes towards Henry, who was running towards them excitedly.

"Henry, Uncle, and Aunt have something to discuss. Why don't you go to the playroom for a while? When we're done, Aunt will call you. Grace chose her words to keep Henry out of the adults' conversation.

"But don't we need to go to Mom's place first? Mom is probably waiting for us," Henry innocently inquired, shifting his gaze from Grace to Axel. While Grace was unsure of how to convince Henry, Axel gently spoke up:

"Henry, Mom is still sleeping right now. We can't talk to her even if we go there."

"How do you know Mom hasn't woken up yet? Henry expressed doubt.

"The doctor is my friend. Th

    Having just returned to his car, Axel took a moment to organize the newly acquired information. Then he called John, his special assistant, to discuss his deductions.After a few minutes of impatient waiting, the call was finally connected.Hello, Axel," John said in his customary manner. "Is there something you need when calling me?"As soon as the voice on the other end finished speaking, Axel hastily began:"John, I have something I want to ask you.""Yes," John replied in a friendly tone. "Please, Director, go ahead and ask. I am ready to listen and help you. What would you like to inquire about?""Regarding the search for Daisy Thomas's whereabouts, has there been any new progress? Axel asked gently.John focused and felt surprised by Axel's sudden inquiry about this matter. From John's recollection, the last time Axel asked about Daisy Thomas was a year ago. John had assumed that Axel had either forgotten or no longer wanted to pursue it. Unexpectedly, Axel was calling today to

    Thinking about Daisy having to silently endure hardships and deprivations and having to give birth to Henry alone with no relatives nearby made Axel unable to bear it. Today, he must find out the truth about what happened to Daisy five years ago. No one and nothing can shake Axel's determination.Without bothering to knock on the door or asking for permission, he just opened the door. The sudden noise startled Mr. Thomas out of his contemplative state."I couldn't stop him. Mrs. Hebe said this to her husband with a helpless and apologetic look. "If you still don't want to see him, I'll call security.""No need," Mr. Thomas said hoarsely. "You can leave.""Yes! Excuse me."The woman glanced at her husband, then turned to Axel before retreating backward. Once outside, she didn't forget to close the door with a gentle hand.Axel quickly stepped towards Mr. Thomas, his anger subsiding slightly because Mr. Thomas had finally agreed to meet him.As for Mr. Thomas, he was surprised by Axel's

    "Are you alright? The panicked woman exclaimed as she saw Mr. Thomas suddenly slump into his chair. He held his head, truly overwhelmed by the revelation.How could this be possible? Mr. Thomas muttered in disbelief. No one could have anticipated that this could happen. Thomas and Smith unite by having Daisy pregnant with Axel's child. This truth was incredibly hard to accept. Mr. Thomas felt bitterly ironic. As if fate were mocking him.Mrs. Hebe approached, checking if her husband was okay. And then she glanced at Axel; he still stood there silently like a statue, but his demeanor affirmed that what he had just said was entirely true."Now please answer me," he urged impatiently, wanting to end this psychological torment: "Did you know about Daisy's pregnancy back then? What did you do to her?"Mr. Thomas looked up at him with cold, piercing eyes."During those years, you should be grateful that I didn't know anything about you being the father of the child. Otherwise, you'd be serv

    A week has passed since the night Axel and Daisy had sex for the first time. Daisy began to feel tired and unwell; her body was not cooperating. Determined to clear her doubts, she decided to undergo a test to uncover the truth. When the test results were revealed, the two clear lines on the pregnancy test shattered Daisy's world. She was pregnant. This wasn't Daisy's plan, and of course, Axel certainly wasn't expecting it either. Because both are still teenagers full of hopes and dreams. That night, they were so overwhelmed by their emotions that they forgot to use birth control.Upon learning about her pregnancy, Daisy faced a monumental decision and a whirlwind of emotions that words could hardly capture. She felt trapped between her education, her life, and deciding the future of the unborn child, making everything even more complex.In the following days, Daisy grappled with uncertainty and doubt. She didn't know whom to confide in or how to tackle the situation. Her emotions ran

    Daisy has a premonition that something ominous is about to happen to her. She didn't know what to do but prayed silently, hoping some miracle would come to her or hoping the consequences she had to endure were a little less heavy and cruel. "Daisy, answer me." Mr. Thomas goggled his eyes, shouting a command. However, Daisy continued to remain silent, unable to utter a word. She didn't know what to say, where to start, or how to begin. She was even unsure if she should reveal everything. Daisy feared Mr. Thomas's wrath falling upon her, yet she also worried about Axel getting into trouble. The struggle between rationality and emotion left Daisy exhausted and utterly trapped in a state of helplessness—in a deadlock. With no other choice, Daisy had to go with the flow of nature. To do so, she had to keep her mouth shut and patiently await the right moment. "You're disobedient; you've disgraced your parents. And now you want to defy your father?" Unable to control his emotions, Mr. Th

    After soothing Daisy into sleep, Mrs. Hebe left Daisy's room and immediately went to talk to Mr. Thomas. The urgency and gravity of Daisy's situation weighed heavily on Mrs. Hebe, requiring swift resolution to avoid prolonged distress. At this moment, Mr. Thomas was sitting in his study, lost in thought. He seemed to be contemplating Daisy's situation and what she had revealed. Indeed, in Mr. Thomas's assessment, the terrible scenario Daisy described of being assaulted could very well be true. Mr. Thomas was acutely aware that, with his status and position, there would be many envious and resentful individuals who might harbor ill intentions toward him. Moreover, Mr. Thomas was a person of justice and integrity, devoted to upholding the law and strict adherence to it. As a judge for many years and currently serving as the head of the Ministry of Justice, he had encountered numerous attempts to bribe him, seeking his alliance, all of which had failed. He had even punished those attemp

    With dreamy eyes, Daisy looked around and finally stopped at Mrs. Hebe's kind face. "Oh, Mom! Daisy exclaimed emotionally, then hugged Mrs. Hebe tightly. "Daisy, what's wrong? Mrs. Hebe doesn't know what happened to Daisy, but instinctively, as a mother, she embraced Daisy, gently stroking her daughter's back, and anxiously asked, "Calm down, Daisy, tell me what's going on." "I'm scared," Daisy confessed tremblingly. "I'm really scared, Mom." "What happened? What are you afraid of? Mrs. Hebe asked tenderly. "I had a nightmare," Daisy choked out. "It's okay with me here. I'll always be by your side," Mrs. Hebe comforted, soothing her daughter's spirits. "It's just a bad dream, and it will pass." Yes. Daisy gradually regained her composure, thanks to the gentle and warm embrace of her mother. A little while later, when Daisy had returned to her normal state, Mrs. Hebe released the hug and smiled. "Daisy, I've finished preparing breakfast. Go to the bathroom, freshen up, and the

    "I don't want to, Mom," Daisy courageously said. "Please don't make me take this medicine." Tears streamed down Daisy's face as she thought about her unfortunate situation. She knew her actions were selfish and a betrayal of her parents, but she couldn't do otherwise. While Daisy agonized over the misery fate had dealt her, Mrs. Hebe appeared both reluctant and torn between her love for Daisy and her anger towards her. "Daisy, please listen to Mom. Take the medicine, my dear. It's all for your future and everyone's sake," Mrs. Hebe pleaded, lowering her voice. However, despite Mrs. Hebe's persuasive efforts, Daisy remained resolute, shaking her head. Unable to persuade her further, Mrs. Hebe reluctantly had to force the spoon with the medicine into Daisy's mouth, compelling her to swallow. "Open your mouth, Daisy." Daisy clenched her lips tightly, refusing to open her mouth. She didn't want to harm the innocent life within her. It was innocent. "Daisy," Mrs. Hebe implored, Please

Rosa asked when she saw Mrs. Mia's pale face.Mrs. Mia couldn't say anything when suddenly the police appeared."Rosa Taylor and Mia Wilson, you both are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder. Please come with us," declared the stern police officer."We haven't done anything!" Mrs. Mia immediately denied the accusation, while Rosa was still trying to grasp the situation."What you said has been recorded—enough evidence to charge you both before the law," Amelia arrogantly proclaimed, holding up a recording device for them to see."Please come with us," the police officer requested a second time."I haven't done anything wrong." Mrs. Mia continued to deny the accusation as she was led away by the police.It was only then that Rosa realized she was being arrested.

    At that moment, from out of nowhere, an older man appeared, leading his 10-year-old son. They pushed through the crowd in front of the emergency room. As soon as they saw the lifeless body, the man grabbed his son's hand and ran towards it, then hugged the lifeless body and cried out."My wife! How could you leave me and our son so early?"The man's voice trembled as he cried, while the child sobbed loudly. The cries jolted Axel awake, and he raised his blank face to look at the man hugging the lifeless body. The man also looked back at Axel, both wearing expressions of indescribable astonishment."Who are you, and why were you crying for my wife?" A man asked in confusion."What do you mean? Your wife?" Axel's words left the man equally baffled. What was going on here? He suddenly felt disoriented."Mommy, please don't leave me." The voice of a child caught Axel and the man's attention. Upon realizing that the child was not Henry, Axel's confusion deepened. So, that wasn't Daisy. Axe

    "Why would you speak of your mother like that?" Daisy scolded. "It's utterly uncalled for. If your mother heard what you said, she would undoubtedly be heartbroken.""You don't know anything, so just stay quiet," Axel snapped in anger.Daisy was taken aback by Axel's reaction, but she quickly regained control of the situation."It's true; I don't know anything about you," Daisy admitted. "We've never truly understood each other, and our views have never aligned. Anyway, your attitude towards your mother is a matter between you and her, unrelated to mine. Therefore, you don't have to be impatient with me.""My mother is dead," Axel finally revealed, thinking that Daisy didn't understand his earlier statement, leaving Daisy shocked and skeptical."Daisy, you've been deceived." Feeling the tension in the room, Amelia hurriedly explained, "My mother and Axel passed away. Axel was just seven years old at the time, and I was twelve. The woman named Mia is my stepmother, my father's second w

    That day, it was raining heavily. Despite the kind advice from the neighbors, Axel remained outside, standing in the pouring rain, waiting for Daisy to open the door. Axel's determination earned him the respect of many, but it also stirred feelings of sympathy.Inside her room, Daisy could hear and know everything that was happening outside. However, she had made up her mind not to waver.After enduring six hours of heavy rain, Axel finally collapsed. Kind neighbors took him into their home and took care of him when he had a high fever.The next day, in a daze, Daisy suddenly jolted awake upon hearing an announcement from the neighbor."Daisy, your husband has a fever."Many hours passed. Axel was still unconscious, and his fever was quite severe.Daisy, feeling perplexed, was inside her room. She was genuinely concerned about Axel's condition and wanted to personally take care of him, but she lacked the courage to step out and check on him. Daisy wasn't a coward; she was just too stu

    "Daisy, we can.""Henry, we're going home." Daisy interrupted Axel with an absolute command."I don't want to." Henry stopped chewing and looked directly at Daisy, stubbornly refusing."Why not? What's your reason?" Daisy impatiently demanded."I want to go to Cha Axel's home," Henry honestly admitted."Henry, I've told you," Daisy reminded him, trying to control her emotions. She was on the verge of losing her temper. Meeting Axel had left Daisy confused and her emotions unstable."I don't want to," Henry shouted suddenly, accusing Daisy. "You lied to me. Dad Axel is not too busy with work. You didn't bring me here for the safety of either of us. I don't know why you took me away from Axel's father's house, but you lied to me.”Daisy wasn't surprised that Henry easily discovered her lie. Henry was a smart and perceptive child. Daisy had anticipated this, but she hadn't expected Henry's reaction to be so determined and forceful. Daisy had hurt her son's feelings, and she knew it, but

    "Hello." The person speaking to Axel was a woman. "Are you the guardian of this boy?""Yes, that's right. I'm Henry's father. What happened, and who are you?" Axel tried to stay calm while gathering information about the situation."The boy had an accident and is currently in the hospital. I'm a nurse at the hospital," the woman reported on Henry's condition. "We need the boy's guardian to come here."Hearing about an accident, Axel felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding with fear. He was afraid something terrible had happened.“How is my son?” Axel asked nervously."It's nothing serious; the boy has only minor injuries and lost a little blood. His condition has improved now," the nurse reassured Axel.Thankfully, Henry was safe and sound. Axel silently thanked God."Which hospital is he in? I'll come right away," Axel urgently asked, already getting ready to leave."He's in Hospital K, in the town of Suna.""I understand, thank you," Axel requested. "Please pass the phon

    After a while, Axel was engulfed in despair, but suddenly the power of love surged within him. So Axel resolved to take action instead of sitting in self-pity. He also knew he couldn't do it alone, and he had some wonderful friends. Without hesitation, Axel immediately called for help from everyone."John, please help me," Axel choked out over the phone. "I really don't know what to do right now."John was at home, enjoying the weekend with Grace as a loving couple. Today, John decided not to answer any calls, both work-related and personal. However, when the caller was Axel and he kept calling incessantly, John answered the phone."What's wrong, Axel? What's happening? First, calm down," John gently reassured Axel while trying to understand Axel's situation. According to John, whenever Axel called him, it was usually for something very important or urgent."Daisy, she's gone," Axel pleaded in agony. "Help me find her, please.""What happened? Why did Daisy disappear?" John was a bit

    Daisy let out a sigh of relief when the person who arrived was not Axel. It was the doctor in charge of Daisy's treatment and the nurse responsible for monitoring her condition."Daisy, how do you feel?" the doctor asked with concern."My head is still a bit dizzy," Daisy replied honestly, then suddenly remembered something important. She anxiously asked, "How is my child? Is everything okay?""The baby is still safe. Please rest assured," the doctor reassured her. Daisy placed her hand on her belly, gently stroking it. She silently thanked God for protecting the unborn child. Up until now, Daisy had not fully recovered from the shock of Rosa's audacious actions. What would have happened if Rosa had actually pulled the trigger? Daisy might have died, and her unborn child as well. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine, instilling fear and anger within her. Daisy was sure that Rosa would have to pay for her actions. She believed that."Where is your husband?" the doctor inq

But if her wish didn't come true, she would have to face Rosa's madness and danger on her own."Rosa, listen to me: What you're doing is a crime, and you'll go to jail if you kill someone. You should stop before it's too late," Daisy calmly warned Rosa. "If I scream, you'll definitely get caught.""I don't care," Rosa insolently declared.
