Karina gasped, urging Wilfred to put her down immediately. Only then did he regain some composure. “Sorry, I forgot about your condition,” he said, visibly annoyed with himself for being so careless. Karina, however, didn’t seem too bothered. Although the first trimester required extra caution, it wasn’t as though being picked up was entirely off-limits. It just meant she needed to be more careful. After basking in their shared excitement, Karina suddenly thought of the orphanage. Her expression turned hesitant. “But now, in my condition… what about the orphanage?” Wilfred looked up at her. “Do you still want to go?” “Of course I do!” Karina replied without hesitation. The renovations weren’t complete, and she couldn’t just abandon the autistic boy she had been helping. She had put in so much effort. How could she give up halfway? But she was worried Wilfred might object. While he was silent, Karina started piecing together arguments to convince him, preparing t

At that moment, the smile froze on Karina’s face. “Kieran?” she said, disbelief etched into her voice as she stared at the man in the wheelchair. It was really Kieran Stone! Karina couldn’t even remember how long it had been since she had last seen him. If Kieran hadn’t appeared here today, she might have gone the rest of her life without thinking about him again. After all, that part of her past was too painful and tormenting to revisit. Kieran wheeled himself closer, as if to say something, but before he could, a sleek black car pulled up in front of Karina. The window rolled down, revealing Wilfred inside. Wilfred’s gaze briefly flicked to Kieran but didn’t linger. His focus was entirely on Karina. His voice was soft and gentle as he said, “Get in. Let’s go home.” Karina wasn’t surprised to see Wilfred. He had already mentioned over the phone that he was nearby. She cast one last glance at Kieran behind her. “You seem to be doing better now—clean, I assume,” she

The car came to a stop outside the Stone family home. Karina took a deep breath, unable to suppress the nervousness that crept up on her. Her anxiety peaked when Mrs. Stone opened the door. “It’s you?” Mrs. Stone’s expression twisted with displeasure, and without another word, she turned on her heel and walked away. Voices drifted from inside—it sounded like Mr. Stone was asking who had come. The conversation abruptly stopped as Karina stepped inside. Mr. Stone sat cross-legged on the sofa, his expression dark and unwelcoming. “Hmph, you’ve been gone so long, I thought you’d died somewhere out there. That would’ve been better—at least then you wouldn’t be back here to annoy us.” Mrs. Stone chimed in, her tone equally harsh. “Exactly! After everything you did to ruin us, just look at the state of this house now. We’ve been reduced to nothing!“If people didn’t know better, they’d think we were your sworn enemies in a past life instead of your foster parents!” Their wo

Whenever Kieran’s sister was mentioned, the entire Stone family would fall into an unspoken silence. Even now, her name was barely uttered. Karina picked at her food during the meal, barely eating, her thoughts miles away. Afterward, she stepped outside with a small bundle of flowers and a candle, placing them on the stone marker in the yard—a quiet tribute. As she lit the candle, someone crouched down beside her. “Let me help,” came a familiar voice. She didn’t need to look up to recognize it—it was Kieran. “About what happened back then…” Karina started, her voice tinged with hesitation. But Kieran interrupted, as if he already knew what she wanted to say. “Let the past stay in the past. I won’t bring it up, and neither should you.” He stared at the flickering candlelight, his tone quiet but firm. “When I was in rehab, I had a lot of time to think. Things weren’t supposed to end up this way.” Who was at fault for how it all turned out? Himself, their parents,

Karina anxiously watched the stairwell, her heart pounding. Finally, she saw the firefighters carrying people down on their backs. But the situation looked grim. “Get them to emergency care immediately!” one firefighter shouted. “The two middle-aged adults are unconscious from severe smoke inhalation and are in critical condition! The son appears to be relatively unharmed.”Thankfully, an ambulance was already on standby. Hearing the firefighter’s report, the nurses rushed out with stretchers, loading the family into the vehicle. When the ambulance was about to depart, Karina and Wilfred identified themselves as doctors and climbed aboard to assist. *Once they arrived at the hospital, Karina’s hands trembled as she changed into her white coat. She had performed countless surgeries before, but this was the first time she would face operating on someone she had a personal connection with. The thought sent a chill through her body. A colleague passing by noticed her and

Kieran’s reason for attempting suicide was guilt. He felt it was the only way to atone for his mistakes. Combined with his disability, he believed he had no reason to live anymore. Karina couldn’t hold back her frustration. “You want to end your life because of this? Do you know what I went through? Back then, I worked eight different jobs, trying to stretch twenty-four hours into forty-eight just to make ends meet! “I couldn’t save up any money, and when I got sick, I couldn’t even afford to see a doctor. But I never once thought about giving up! So what right do you have to give up? Wake up!” After venting her anger, Karina felt a sense of relief, while Kieran sat stunned, speechless. His so-called "atonement"—dragging his parents along in a selfish act of escape—wasn’t truly an act of redemption. It was just another form of avoidance. “If you really feel guilty about what you’ve done to me, then live,” Karina continued, her voice calm but firm. “I don’t need you to do

Meanwhile, Caleb had been having a rough time lately. Between academic lectures and an overwhelming number of surgeries, he barely had time to catch his breath. On top of that, his father was pressuring him to go on blind dates. He avoided them whenever he could. But today, his father took things to the next level, showing up at the hospital with a girl in tow. “Caleb, all your friends are getting married. Even Wilfred, the hospital director, married an outstanding doctor. And you? You’re also a doctor. I’m not even asking you to take over the family business! Are there no nurses or female doctors at your hospital? Look, this is your Uncle Mason’s daughter!” Caleb glanced at the woman standing beside his father but felt no spark of interest. “There are plenty of women, but why should I follow someone else’s timeline? Just because everyone else is getting married doesn’t mean I have to.” His father was already fuming. “So, what? You’re going to stay single forever?

“Terry has been with me for so long. He’s like family to me. I can’t imagine life without him,” Luna Gibson said through her tears, her sorrow overwhelming. Caleb crouched in front of her, his lips pressing into a thin line before he spoke in a hoarse voice. “I’ll help you take care of Terry. Luna, marry me. That man—he’s not coming back.” For years, Caleb had stood by Luna’s side. She had been his senior during their university days, and he had fallen for her instantly. But Luna’s heart belonged to someone else—a man she had loved for as long as Caleb could remember. He had proposed to her several times over the years, always waiting, always hoping. Luna stared at him, stunned. She hadn’t expected Caleb to still hold on after all this time. Caleb’s dark eyes reflected her image as he gazed at her silently. His unwavering sincerity was unmistakable, and while others might not have seen it, Luna knew it better than anyone. Just as she parted her lips to respond, her ph

But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better.

“Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
