As if waiting for the arrival of the son, Samuel Ricardo opened his eyes when he saw Lexi walking towards him.Yes, the man was already unconscious and had to be in the emergency room for three days after Lexi's departure to Singapore. Not without reason, the past events that Lexi asked caused a big question mark that provoked a great quarrel between himself and her wife.Yes, Mrs. Anna, who was suspicious, immediately asked directly about the incident twelve years ago. All this time, Mrs. Anna was silent, which did not mean that she did not feel suspicious. Because, in the past when he touched on the issue of Darren and Melisa's deaths, the husband was always distracted or sometimes had to get angry and unclear.That made Mrs. Anna choo
Chapter 108 enBroken."Mom, call the doctor," Lexi cried as she walked out of his father's room. The man ran a little and felt uneasy because suddenly the pack was silent because he was unconscious.“What is it?” his mother asked, who was standing next to Lexi."Dad, Mom," Lexi replied and he immediately walked to look for the nurse on duty that night while Mrs. Anna went inside to see the condition of her husband.”Honey," the middle-aged woman called her husband as she patted his right cheek softly. "Honey, wake up," she repeated by shaking the unconscious man's right arm.Samuel was silent. It made Mrs. Anna even more worried. How hard she called and shook her husband's arm, the man did not answer her at all.Tap. Tap.Tap. Tap.Tap.

Chapter 109 enSilent NightIt's getting late. The atmosphere became very quiet. Lexi was sitting in one of the chairs in his father's treatment room. His mother, accompanied by the maid, returned home first while Arsene was watching the funeral procession of his boss.Lexi stood up from her seat. Already, he was no longer concerned with what was raging in his heart. With thoughts floating somewhere, he packed one by one of his father's stuff. There's a big bag in there. Then, he put in the phone, the tablet belonged to his father. There were also some books that his mom brought for him. Lexi packed the book on the small desk, then put it in the bag.There was bitterness that had filled his throat. His chest feels tight and crying would not reduce or change anything. Everything had to work out. Whatever was ahead, the man was determined to face it.Lexi's tear defense dam collapsed when he saw his father's phone screen.

He felt a deep sadness and emptiness in his heart. Yes, the ticking of the wall clock in the family room made Lexi more aware that there was no longer the figure of his father.And when he opened the door to greet the room was empty without the presence of Jessica. It made him miss her presence even more. If only Jessica had been with him tonight, maybe he wouldn't have suffered like this.Lexi spread his body on the bed. He cried in silence as the tightness in his chest could not be reduced. However, he still did not do anything. The divorce papers from Jessica and also the death of his father made him devastated.All night Lexi could not fall asleep. Although his body was tired and crumpled. But the sleepy eyes didn't even come close to him. Left by the person he loved the most, Lex

Darren and Melisa also died, as a result of a car accident.The Elder of the Kim family could not change the schedule for the memorial of the death of the parents of his three grandchildren. However, he was able to start the event earlier than usual.So, if the funeral of the man, he didn't want to hear his name again, was at nine in the morning.

I've always believed that you'd pick me up at the orphanage one day. Mom, Dad, I already have a husband. His name is Lexi. But right now I can't bring him here. I promise one day I will introduce you to you, mom, dad.” Jessica's mind as she looked at the grave of her parents in front of her.Every now and then, Jessica looked at the three other men who were fervently praying.

She had not had time to speak to Lexi alone because the man was busy with guests who came to express condolences.Jessica looked at the wall clock that was already showing almost nine o'clock in the evening. However, her husband did not come to the room to see her.Meanwhile, Lexi stood in front of the door. He paused for a moment, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart. Divorce papers that he was afraid of. Their marital status was over.Lexi was silent for a moment, he let out a long breath regulating his heart's beating inconsolably.

However, Jessica had not come to the apartment yet, and it was unlikely that she would ever come to the apartment if there was no one to pick her up.“Grandpa, I will come to the Ricardo family house to pick up Elsa. He should be back in Singapore this afternoon with all of us.” Daniel was still not willing to leave his sister alone in Jakarta.“Ialso agree, after all she still has to finish college. I did not want Jessica to be a child who gave up and did not finish her education at the University.” The grandfather wanted to get back to focusing on Jessica. Samuel Ricardo was dead, it seemed like he had to forget everything and keep Jessica with him, not with Lexi.“Well, I'll be there right now to pick up Elsa's cake. I wish Elsa woul

I mean... we've never done a hike before and I'm also pregnant” Jessica protested."Take it easy, honey. We're not going to climb it. We're just enjoying the waterfall like I said at the time."

Isn't it still too early to leave the bed, dear?" Lexi, who had just woken up, yawned. His voice was hoarse from sleep.

I think from the direction we're going, I know where you're taking me."Gazing at the streets they were passing, Jessica could already guess where they were headed."That villa, right? The place where you first kidnapped me!" Jessica exclaimed quickly, coinciding with Lexi's car entering the Villa area."You're right, dear. For the next week, we'll be staying here. As a gift from me to you, before you give birth to our child.""Really?"Lexi nodded quickly. "Of course. I'll take you to a waterfall quite far from here, but I promise I won't tire you out.
