Today, Nichol was preparing with Calvin in their room.
"Lizard, you're coming to my wedding next month, right?" Calvin asked.Nichol stopped his movements. "I decided to work at Doctor Bastian's hospital," Nichol replied."Why do you keep changing places?" Calvin protested.Nichol now took a seat on the side of the bed. "You obviously know the reason. I haven't gotten over it at all," Nichol replied."It's been three years since that incident," Calvin said."I liked her for 10 years. These three years are nothing." Nichol let out a long sigh. "I move around to avoid boredom, and when I get bored, I'll think of her again.""I don't know what to say. Love is complicated," Calvin replied."I accepted Doctor Bastian's offer to work here. Besides, there's Renata and Ariana here, so at least I won't be bored. Even if I have to be Ari's caretaker, I don't mind either. The important thing is that I don't think about her anymore. Every time I rememberRenata was allowed to return to the mansion. It's just that she still needs to sit in a wheelchair and do walking therapy to strengthen her leg muscles.Bastian brings Renata back to the mansion and takes her to their room to rest. Ariana was on Renata's lap because she didn't want to be apart from her mommy.They arrived at the main room, and during the trip to the room, Renata kept looking around her. There were some things that made her pensive for a moment. This mansion was familiar to her."Here we are," Bastian said. "Come here, Ari." Bastian carried Ariana in his arms. Then he sat the boy on the bed."Do you want to move onto the bed?" Bastian asked."Umm... yes." Bastian took Renata into his arms and sat her on the bed."Today I have to go to the hospital for a while because of work. Do you mind if I stay?" Bastian asked."Yes, it's fine," Renata replied."Mom will be here later to keep you company," said Bastian. "I'll only be gone fo
Regan and Angela had returned with their children to Britain. After they left, Renata took a walk in the park by herself. Her daughter was with Agneta and Maria, who were at the playground.Renata stood on the bridge connecting the headquarters and the mansion."What exactly is this tall and large building for? It's even bigger than the mansion. Plus, there are so many people there. Is this like a foundation? Or does he keep a lot of subordinates?" muttered Renata."Why are you here, Rena?" asked Lucas, who saw Renata not far from him.Renata frowned at the figure in front of her."I'm sorry; you must not remember me. I'm Lucas, Bastian's cousin's brother," Lucas explained."Oh, hello, Lucas," Renata exclaimed, making Lucas smile."Why are you here alone?" Lucas asked."It's okay. I just wanted to take a walk," Renata replied."Alright. Then I'll stay then," said Lucas, who was answered with a nod of the head by Renata.This Bastian
Renata and Bastian had returned to the mansion that night. And there was a lively atmosphere. They entered the room and saw many people in the living room."Renata!" Aline ran up to Renata and hugged her, leaving Renata rooted to the spot in confusion. "Thankfully, Rena is fine and has regained consciousness.""Who are you?" The question Renata posed caused Aline to freeze.The woman released her hug and smiled at Renata. "I'm Aline, Bastian's sister," Aline said. "Emm, Rena forgot, then let's get acquainted again."Aline thrust her hand towards Renata."Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Aline.""Renata," Renata said, welcoming Aline's hand."You guys have gone home. Then let's have dinner," Julian suggested.Renata looked at the man with a feeling of fear, but Julian was seen holding Ariana; not far from him was also Davero. They looked quite close, but for some reason, Renata felt a sense of dread when she saw Julian's figure. What's going on? Renat
Renata had just woken up from her sleep. She stretched both her hands into the air."Eughhh!!!"She looked around the empty room with no sign of life there other than her."That guy left without saying anything," grumbled Renata, getting up from her bed. She was quite surprised to see a tray filled with toast with her favorite strawberry jam, not to mention hot chocolate still puffing smoke."Did he prepare all this?" she muttered. Renata rushed into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. After that, she took a seat on the sofa and enjoyed the toast spread with strawberry jam."How much does he know about me and my preferences? But I don't even know him," she muttered, taking another bite of the toast."Mommy..."The call made Renata giggle. The woman hurriedly got up from her seat and walked towards the door. She opened the door and saw Ariana in Aline's arms."Hello, sweetheart," Renata greeted, taking Ariana into her arms. "Did
Renata and Aline got out of the car when they arrived at the hospital lobby. Renata was quite amazed by the luxurious, large, and elite hospital that belonged to her husband."The name of the hospital is familiar," Renata muttered."Yes, because Rena already knew from the beginning," Aline chuckled, making Renata smile.They walked down the lobby and made their way to the elevator. During that time, all eyes were on Renata, especially the gaze of the men who seemed not to look away from Renata's beautiful figure."Wow, you're the center of attention," Aline chuckled as they got into the elevator."What's wrong with me? I don't feel like dressing up too much," Renata exclaimed as she smoothed the shawl bag that was tied around her shoulder."Renata's brother is very beautiful; that's why all eyes are on you," Aline chuckled."You are something else. You are prettier, especially the color of your blue eyes; it looks charming," said Renata, making Ali
Bastian has just finished examining the patient. He enters his room and sees Renata engrossed in her cell phone, playing a game. The man entered and saw his wife there, who looked so focused. Bastian quietly locked the door to his room. He walked silently towards Renata."What are you doing?" whispered Bastian, who stood behind the sofa as he leaned his body next to Renata's head."Oh God!" squealed Renata, who giggled in surprise. "Why are you so annoying? You really like to make me surprised," protested Renata with annoyance.Bastian could only smile and now took a seat beside Renata."Let's continue with the things that were delayed earlier," said Bastian."I don't want to.""Why? Earlier, you allowed me to touch you," said Bastian."Now it's no longer valid. Better take me out; I'm very hungry. Aline isn't coming back here either," Renata complained."Give me one kiss, then we'll go out to eat," said Bastian."No way.""Let's sta
Renata is pensive in the hospital cafeteria. She thought about the change in Bastian's expression earlier. That's why Bastian showed a flat expression. Actually, Renata also wanted more than that; it's just that there was doubt in her. There are still so many questions in her head about Bastian. Renata could not just give herself up because the man's status was that of her husband."What's wrong, sis?" asked Aline, waking up Renata's reverie."It's okay. Have you ordered?" asked Renata."I asked you what you wanted to order. I've already decided what to eat," said Aline."Just the same, the best seller here," said Renata."Okay."Aline mentioned her order to the waitress serving them. After writing down all the orders, the waiter left."Khemm... looks like something hot happened in the room earlier," Aline teased."What do you mean?" asked Renata, scrunching her forehead in confusion."There are so many ownership marks on Renata's neck,"
Renata was pensive alone in front of the operating room, where Bastian was undergoing surgery. Not far from her position, Lucas stood worriedly. He was unable to say anything to Renata, and now he was also very worried. This is the first time Bastian has experienced something like this, being injured to the point of unconsciousness with a lot of blood.Renata is still pensive about her thoughts. She saw Bastian kill people, but it was not hatred or satisfaction that she felt at the moment. Rather, it was a pain that was very painful. a feeling that makes her feel very suffocated. Even crying did not relieve the tightness in his chest; his head felt like it was exploding because of the flood of memories that he could not describe."Renata!"Rena turned to the source of the voice. She saw Davero coming with Julian, Maria, and Agneta."Dad..." Renata got up from her seat and burst into tears in Davero's arms. "Bastian got hurt saving me, Father. He sacrificed himsel
BRITANIA RAYACurrently, Renata is with Bastian's parents. Ari and Zayden were visiting the Gonemanus residence, where Davero and Agneta were also there."Brother Veera!" Ari exclaimed, approaching Javeera, who was peeling grapes. "Why are you peeling the grapes?""I don't like the skin," Javeera replied. "Do you want some?""No, I don't. Ari wants to eat this one; Ari likes the skin," Ari said, taking another fresh grape."Ka... ka... ka..."Zayden ran towards Ariana and Javeera."Zay, don't run; you'll fall again," Ariana shouted."No need to yell; he's already fallen," Javeera chuckled."Huaaa, it hurts!" Zayden cried, holding his knee."That's why, when you talk, listen. You can't run; you like to fall," Ariana grumbled."What makes a beautiful princess grumble?" said Angela, who had just arrived."It's Aunty Zayden; he's naughty," said Ariana."Momy... huaaa... Daddy..."Angela approached the two-year-old. "W
Doctor Elizabeth came out of the operating room making everyone get up from their seats. After six hours, the surgery was finally over."What about Renata?" asked Bastian."Congratulations, the baby was born without missing anything and in good health. For the mother, we still need to observe her for the next few days. We found a wound on her uterus, and that's the cause of the bleeding. It looks like it was a wound caused during her first pregnancy," Elizabeth explained."Thank you doctor."Elizabeth walked away and left them all. Not long after, the gurney that Renata was on was pushed out of the operating room. She was still unconscious with a breathing apparatus attached to her mouth. Blood transfusion was still being done.After taking away the gurney where Renata was, now a small gurney containing a tiny baby who was still red was also pushed out of the room. Everyone surrounded the handsome baby with emotion."Congratulations to you, finally gett
Eight Months Later....Renata and Bastian had just returned from the hospital after seeing Aline and Vincent's baby who gave birth to a son named Zachary Owen Ballard."Aline and Vincent's son is so handsome," said Renata taking a seat on the bed assisted by Bastian. Renata's pregnancy had entered the ninth month and was about to enter the tenth month in the next two weeks."Yes, similar to his father," replied Bastian. "Do you want me to make you a fresh drink?""Umm... that's fine. I'd like a piece of fruit too," Renata said."Okay."Renata closed her eyes by leaning her head against the back of the bed. Her womb was getting bigger, but there was no sign that she would give birth soon.According to the doctor, the baby was healthy. Renata just needed to wait until week 40, and if there were still no contractions. The doctor would take a caesarean section to remove the baby."Mommy..."Renata opened her eyes as Ari's voice was heard ente
"Hello, Rena.""Wow, the newlyweds are back from their honeymoon," Renata exclaimed."It's Ari's birthday soon. We want to join the celebration," said Aline, who was now sitting on the sofa right next to Renata."Umm... by the way, where is Bastian?" asked Vincent."Bastian? In the kitchen," Renata replied, making Aline and Vincent look at each other."In the kitchen, what are you doing?" asked Vincent."Making dessert for me," Renata replied casually."Bastian? Making dessert?" exclaimed a very surprised Vincent."Yes."Soon Bastian appeared there wearing an apron, his face dirty with flour."The dessert is finished, please try it," said Bastian, very satisfied with the result and put it in front of Renata."Wow, it looks delicious," Aline exclaimed."I'll try it," said Renata taking a spoon and tasting it."EMmm too sweet, I don't like it, change," said Renata."Okay," replied Bastian.Vincent followed Bast
As promised, Bastian and Renata are now in a tall, luxurious building where the latest sports cars are sold. In that building, a lot of the latest sports cars are lined up dashingly and luxuriously, making pairs of eyes that see them immediately fascinated and want to buy them."How is it? Have you found the right one?" asked Bastian, who was standing next to Renata."Hmm... which one do you think is better?" Instead of answering, Renata asked back."How about this?" asked Bastian, walking towards the car of his choice."I don't like the color," Renata replied."Okay." Bastian walked back to one of the cars. "How about this? It's violet, like your favorite color. How about it?""I don't like it; it's too long," Renata replied."Are you looking for a mini car like a mini Cooper?" asked Bastian."No, I'm not. I don't really like Mini Cooper," Renata replied.Bastian scanned the whole room. "How about that one?" Bastian pointed at the car on
Renata was already neat in her purple flower-colored dress, matching the dress used by Ari; both dresses they wore on top were Sabrina-shaped. They looked elegant and beautiful. Bastian wore a formal suit with a suit color matching the color of Renata's dress."Are you ready?" asked Bastian, who was answered with a nod of the head by Renata.They went in threes because Maria and Julian had gone there first to accompany Aline.---It didn't take long before they arrived at the venue for Vincent and Aline's wedding, which was a garden party with an outdoor theme.Bastian approached Lucas and Vincent, who were near the altar. Renata herself said goodbye to go see Aline, who was still in the break room."Excuse me!" Renata exclaimed, knocking on the open door."Sister Renata!" Aline was happy to see her sister-in-law."The bride is so beautiful," Renata praised."Ah, brother. I'm so nervous," Aline exclaimed, squeezing her own hand."I d
Two weeks had passed. Sean, Renata, and Ariana had returned from their vacation, exploring some of the famous cities in Switzerland by riding the panoramic train. They were very satisfied playing and exploring the mountains, the sea, and the many places they visited.And they had to return immediately because Aline was told that she was pregnant and that they would soon have a wedding between Aline and Vincent.Today Bastian had to leave because of a sudden job at the hospital and the Sanders company. Although it has been handled by Vincent, Bastian, as the main president, still has to step in. Julian has completely detached himself from the business world that became his obsession in the past. His relationship with Maria has been getting better, and Julian is not wasting the opportunity to always be with the woman he loves. For years, they lived under the same roof but were like strangers. Now they are trying to repair their flawed relationship.Renata had just finis
They were in the car this time, heading to the village of Kantersteg, where the high slide was located. Ariana fell asleep from exhaustion in the back seat.It didn't take long before they arrived at the slide. Bastian parked the car, and they both climbed down with Ari in Bastian's arms.The slide ride is called Toboggan Run. The shape is similar to a rainwater drain from the roof of the house. But it is used to slide from the top of the hill to the bottom.Bastian, Renata, and Ariana sat on a mini train that could only fit one person. Renata sits on the mini-train in front of Bastian. Bastian with Ariana in his arms; all safety is guaranteed, including for toddlers with parental supervision."Ready... go!"Renata was the first to launch, and her scream was heard. Then Bastian and Ari shouted. Miraculously, the toddler wasn't scared at all when the wind blew hard; he was laughing happily and looking ahead, where Renata was just a few meters away from them.
That morning, Renata was in charge of bathing Ariana. Bastian had just opened the door and received breakfast delivered to the room by the resort's maid. The man placed the breakfast tray on the table in front of the television.Bastian went into the room, and he opened the bathroom door. He could only shake his head when he saw Renata and Ariana playing with water and soap as the foam flew into the air from the jacuzzi."Daddyyy..." they both called."Come and play with the water," said Renata."Breakfast is here, my queen and my princes," said Bastian in a soft tone.Bastian took a small shower and splashed water on the two women, making them laugh. Not remaining silent, Renata and Ariana threw the water in the small pool at Bastian with both hands. They teased each other and splashed water and foam. Now Bastian's clothes were the same as Renata's, completely wet. Ari prances around happily. Water is a toddler's favorite playground.After playing with
