"Hebe." Seeing his wife faint, Mr. Thomas panicked and called her name, then quickly got up from his chair. He intended to approach Mrs. Hebe to check on her condition. Sensing Mr. Thomas's concern for his wife, Axel reassured him."Please, rest assured, your wife just fainted. She's probably overwhelmed and in shock by the news about Daisy."Hearing Axel's words, Mr. Thomas involuntarily sighed with relief, knowing that his wife was still okay. He sat back in his chair instead of going closer to Mrs. Hebe. Meanwhile, Axel gently lifted Mrs. Hebe and laid her down on the sofa.A silence filled the room as the two men were lost in their own thoughts, and Mrs. Hebe remained unconscious. Finally, Mr. Thomas spoke up, still doubting the truth of the matter."Axel Smith, tell me, is it true that Daisy is dead? Mr. Thomas asked, hoping that this terrible news was not true."I can't be certain of that," Axel stated firmly. "In my opinion, we should focus on positive things.""You're right. W
Not stopping there, Grace suddenly offered her assessment of Axel."You really don't think things through. If you want to impress Daisy, you don't need to act foolishly and harm yourself like that. I bet on your way here, many people were gossiping and criticizing your foolish behavior.""I don't care about those trivial matters," Axel confidently replied. "People's opinions of me don't matter.""You may not care, but your actions will cause concern for someone," Grace subtly implied."Who are you talking about? Axel curiously asked. He felt both surprised and puzzled by Grace's statement.Grace didn't give a direct answer. Instead, she cast a sidelong glance at Daisy. Following Grace's gaze and noticing Daisy's shy demeanor when their eyes met, Axel understood and felt very happy."Axel, how did you know I was here? Daisy hesitated to ask, wanting to steer the conversation back to the main point. "And what happened to me? Why am I here?"Upon Daisy's question, both Axel and Grace wer
Without hesitation, Grace made a final and resolute decision."Henry, do you want Uncle Axel to become your father? Grace surprisingly asked a very straightforward question, causing everyone in the room to stop in their tracks and look at Grace. They all displayed a mixture of surprise and confusion. Grace didn't care about Daisy and Axel staring at her intently; she only focused her attention on Henry, patiently waiting for the boy's answer."Grace, what are you talking about? Daisy regained your spirit, responding with an unusual seriousness in his voice.Not allowing Daisy to express her disagreement or offer any opinions, Grace cut her off bluntly, saying, "Daisy, I'm not talking to you right now. Please refrain from speaking for the moment."Daisy wanted to argue with Grace but couldn't because Grace completely ignored her. As for Axel, in contrast to Daisy's tension and confusion, he was eagerly awaiting Henry's thoughts and feelings about him. This was important to Axel, so jus
"Daisy, I love you," Axel whispered in his confession. Axel couldn't stop himself from saying those words of love to Daisy. He had missed it for too long, and Axel didn't want to hesitate anymore. Axel didn't expect Daisy to reciprocate his feelings right away, but he was determined to win Daisy's heart once again."I love you too, Axel," Daisy replied shyly, surprising Axel."Is it true, Daisy? Axel wanted to confirm."I know it might sound unbelievable, but after getting encouragement from Grace and seeing your sincerity, I can confidently say that my feelings are genuine. I can swear," Daisy affirmed seriously, fearing that Axel might not believe her."You don't have to swear, Daisy, because I believe you. Axel smiled happily and said, "I'm just so happy that I don't know how to express that happiness.""I'm happy too," Daisy timidly admitted.The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Without saying another word, Axel's lips found Daisy's. Their kiss was sweet and filled wit
In no time, dinner was ready. The three of them gathered together to enjoy the meal. Grace didn't come home because Axel had informed her of Daisy's discharge from the hospital beforehand. Grace was thoughtful and understanding, knowing that Axel and Daisy needed privacy, so she decided to stay at her friend's house for the night. Henry enjoyed the meal immensely. Perhaps it was the best dinner he had ever had, and there would be many more like it in the future. Henry believed this as he saw the tenderness that Axel showed him and Daisy. After dinner, Henry and Axel played and joked around together, engaging in various games, their laughter filling the house. Daisy observed the scene with fondness and happiness. It wasn't until Henry became tired and exhausted that he lay down on the floor to sleep. Henry had never been happier than today; he played with great enthusiasm and wholeheartedness. Perhaps it was because he now had a father. Seeing Henry soundly asleep, Axel couldn't help
Mom's awake! Henry exclaimed as he accidentally turned around and saw Daisy. At this moment, Daisy was momentarily caught off guard, and upon hearing Henry call her, she jolted awake, feeling somewhat embarrassed, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.Axel also turned to look at Daisy, giving her an affectionate smile. "Still early; why aren't you sleeping longer?"Daisy shook her head and replied, "I didn't want to sleep anymore. Then, she added hesitantly, "I should have been the one preparing breakfast. Why didn't either of you wake me up?""Dad said Mom should get more rest; it's good for the baby's development," Henry quickly explained. "Besides, Dad and Henry can handle breakfast without Mom's help."Daisy looked at Henry, smiling warmly at her son's concern, and then at Axel, appreciating his thoughtfulness and attentiveness."So, what are you two making? Let me lend a hand," Daisy enthusiastically offered, stepping into the kitchen but being stopped by Henry."This
"Now, what are you thinking? Seeing that Daisy still didn't say anything and showed no signs of admitting her mistake or being afraid of being kicked out of the apartment, the man immediately lost his temper and questioned her. As for Daisy, she knew better than to argue or engage in a confrontation with this man. After all, he was just a cleaning staff member, not someone with the authority to decide matters for Daisy. Therefore, Daisy didn't need to compromise or appease him. "I sincerely apologize. I will discuss the matter with the apartment management to handle it appropriately for you," Daisy said, bowing her head to demonstrate her sincerity. Daisy's simple words were actually a gentle warning to the other party. The man couldn't do much more, as he was sure Daisy was a smart and shrewd woman, not easily intimidated. So he considered himself unlucky, swallowed his anger, and left. However, before the man could leave the apartment, Axel appeared and stopped him. "We will mov
While Daisy was contemplating the vague image that had just appeared in her mind, Axel spoke up with concern. "What are you thinking, Daisy? You look lost in thought. Do you not like this dish? Axel genuinely cared about Daisy's preferences. If she didn't like the steak, Axel was ready to order something else for her. "No, it's not that," Daisy hurriedly explained when she realized Axel was worried about her. "I'm just enjoying the taste of this dish. It seems very familiar, as if I've had it many times before," Daisy said with uncertainty, and immediately, Axel understood that a part of Daisy's memory had just randomly resurfaced. This made Axel somewhat uneasy, and he knew he needed to prepare himself for what would come after Daisy fully regained her memory. "It might be a memory from your past. Do you remember anything specific? Axel cautiously inquired. Daisy hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. "It was just a fleeting, blurry image, nothing clear," Daisy disappoi
"How are you?" 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. Not wanting to go to jail, Rosa used her strength to push the police officer and run out of the coffee shop. The police officer chased after her, and unfortunately, something terrible happened. While runn
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
Rosa showed her determination as she looked at Daisy with sharp eyes. Suddenly, Daisy wished someone would appear to stop Rosa. 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. "I just want Axel to suffer for what he did to me. And what will make Axel suffer the most is losing you. Whether you die or disappear, it's the same for me. I'll give you a chance: leave Axel forever, and your life will be spared. But don't play games with me. If you leave and then come back, I'll kill Axel. I promise you that.""You're not allowed to touch Axel," Daisy angrily retorted."That entirely depends on you," Rosa arrogantly said. "If you dare to defy me, continue staying with Axel. I'll kill Axel and make you liv
