Ares felt misheard, so he repeated his words, " psychiatric hospital, you mean?"Berry nodded, "I have searched and gathered information as you requested. I discovered she could be transferred to psychiatric hospital. hospital, but according to my sources, she often screams and reportedly cries in the middle of the night. So, the doctor caring for her suggested taking her to a mental hospital. Almost all the nurses who are responsible for her care know about this proposal," Berry explained systematically, reading the data he had successfully collected.Berry worked diligently, managing to gather the required data for his boss. It took time, but he accomplished his mission.Ares stopped what he was doing. He placed his hand on his forehead and lowered his head. He never expected that the situation would lead to the woman he loved being admitted to psychiatric hospital.Ares' eyes welled up with tears. Fortunately, he was looking down, worried that if he sat up straight, Berry would not
Ares appeared restless, pacing back and forth in his office. His mind raced, desperately searching for a way out. Ares desired Keyara, but she was ill, and he was the leading cause of her suffering.Then an idea sparked, and he quickly grabbed his phone and dialed his right hand, who was currently outside."Where are you?" Ares asked when the call was answered."I'm currently downstairs, sir.""Can you come to my office?""Yes, of course."Ares ended the call and sat back down in his chair. He opened his desk drawer and took out all the photos he had personally taken while observing the girl on her way home.A sigh escaped Ares' lips as his hand slowly touched Keyara's face in the photo. The hatred that once filled his heart towards the woman had now transformed, turning three hundred and sixty degrees. All that hatred melted away, leaving behind only love and overwhelming guilt.Not long after, there was a knock on Ares' office door."Come in."The door opened, and Berry entered. Ber
The male nurse who received many scratches shrugged, "With this kind of situation, I can't say I'm fine..." The male nurse sighed and stood up, "I'll go to the pharmacy to treat these claw marks." he said.The female nurse nodded. Both of them then stood up. "Let me help you," the female nurse said to her colleague. They left Keyara's room.After successfully restraining Keyara to the bed and administering a sedative injection, Keyara began to experience hallucinations.A strange illusion of transforming into a joyful deer leaping through the forest appeared to her. However, the deer stopped at a nearby tree, its eyes fixed on something ahead—a wary and ready-to-pounce tiger.When the deer tried to flee, the tiger leaped faster, sinking its claws into the deer's body and sinking its fangs into its neck, rendering the deer helpless in the tiger's grasp, as if death was imminent, and the deer was ready to become the tiger's prey.Then, the tiger's face transformed into Ares' face. And t
The Doctor and nurse parted ways at the first corridor. The nurse returned to the waiting area while Dr. Amora entered her office.As she hung up her coat, her eyes swept across the desk again and landed on Grey's figure on the magazine cover. At that moment, her phone vibrated. Amora reached into her coat pocket and answered the call."Hello?""Hello, Doc...uh, sorry, Amora, it's me, Grey."Upon hearing Grey's name, Amora's heart seemed to leap out of its place. The Doctor became slightly flustered yet also delighted. Her tired eyes, which had longed to rest on her office chair, suddenly lit up enthusiastically. It turned out that just hearing someone's voice could make such a remarkable difference."Hi, Grey. How are you?" Amora asked as if it were the first time she spoke to Grey.A loud laughter could be heard from the other end. "Not good," Grey replied, then continued, "Sorry, am I disturbing you by calling this late at night?" Grey asked again."No, not at all," Amora shook her
Amora said, "It's challenging to treat patients who have ceased engaging with their surroundings. Usually, doctors prescribe multiple medication therapies, especially those that stimulate motor and sensory functions, hoping the patient can better recognize their environment.But, in your case, I find this condition quite advantageous. I will provide you with medication therapy that will continuously lock your consciousness. There's no need for question-and-answer sessions or healing to treat your depression. The best way to forget is to send you to your beautiful dreamland and keep you there."Amora rambled on, explaining even though she knew Keyara wouldn't respond. She calmly presented all her wicked plans as if speaking to a baby. A sly smile appeared on Amora's face.Then, she took out a small tube containing yellow-colored liquid and placed it on the table. Afterward, Amora retrieved a syringe and approached Keyara, injecting the medication into Keyara's arm.When finished, unabl
Lea glanced at Charlie and nodded. "The doctor is the one who determines the treatment plan. We follow the doctor's orders," Lea said. Charlie sighed and then looked towards Berry, his eyes filled with curiosity. "Oh, by the way, you and I are on the night patrol today. Your name is Redith, right?" Charlie's gaze fell on the name tag pinned to Berry's uniform. "Y-yes," Berry replied. "In that case, help me out later. This patient here tends to become unruly at night. So, there might be some resistance from them. But with the injection we administer, their wild and hysterical behavior will gradually subside," Charlie explained while getting ready. Berry's eyes immediately shifted to the syringe placed on the medication tray. Then Berry asked, "Is it a sedative?" Charlie nodded. "It's called a sedative, but you could say it's a medication that will make the patient lose consciousness," Charlie replied. "That's pretty much the same as a sedative," Berry said. Charlie smiled. "You
Doctor David glanced towards the medication counter and saw Berry carefully arranging the medicines. For someone accustomed to working in a hospital, categorizing medications would be more accessible.Still, Berry had never worked in a hospital before. He had never received formal pharmaceutical education. So, he had to rely heavily on Google to assist him in categorizing the medications. Fortunately, the other nurses had other tasks, leaving her alone."Do you need any help?" offered Doctor David, causing Berry to nearly jump in surprise. He had been so engrossed in his work that He hadn't even noticed the young Doctor's presence. Hastily, Berry closed his phone screen to conceal that He had been looking at medications-related websites."Oh, no, Doctor. I can manage..." Berry replied nervously.Doctor David smiled. "But you're slower than the other nurses. Instead of relying on Google, it would be better to seek assistance from your fellow professionals
Amora furrowed her brow in confusion. "Your fault? What do you mean?" Grey took a deep breath. All this time, he had kept all the burdens of the problem within his heart. Not a single word had escaped his lips. Even his unbearable anger towards Ares still lingered in Grey's heart. Grey gazed at Amora. She was a psychiatrist, an expert in the field of mental health. Psychiatrists had a greater capacity for listening to others. After weighing it for a few moments, Grey began to speak, "If we could keep this conversation off the record, Doc... I mean, sorry, I mean Amora. I think, as a psychiatrist, especially one who has been treating Keyara, you deserve to know." Amora nodded. "You can confide in me, what you share today will only stay within these walls and this day. It will not leave this place," Amora wisely assured Grey. "Keyara was raped by someone I know, more precisely, someone who had a grudge against me," Ares explained, causing Amora's eyes to widen. "Oh my God," Amora
Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,
Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac
Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"
"Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror. He saw Keyara's pale face. Berry was actually relieve
Keyara held her breath. She had accidentally stepped outside her room, intending to go downstairs for a drink, but the conversation between her parents was audible from where she stood. Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her
Keyara fell silent in her room, tears streaming down her face. Her memories hadn't returned yet, but the recent events had hit her heart hard. She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..." Grey's voice sounded.Keyara fell silent, her face now pale. The barrage of incoming information fel
Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state. He couldn't even muster a punch against Grey, not with the emotional turmoil, he felt, akin to a churning black hole.Grey seemed unsatisfied; he wanted to hurt Ares even more. Making Ares realize that Grey, standing before him, was the man rightfully in possession of Keyara. Ares had audaciously propos
Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek. His eyes squinted in bewilderment."You dare to come here aft
Ares continued to stare at Doctor David. His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..." Doctor David stuttered in reply.Ares growled, then he turned to Berry, "Call the security, then toss this bastard onto the streets!""Mr. Ares... but... yo
