"Your world before this ... Must be really terrible," Evan commented quietly after he heard Maya's story. After each of them confessed their feelings, Evan did say that he hoped to hear more about the world that Maya lived in before the girl moved into this world. Maya happily told the man everything. Except when the doctor came to examine her, and it was time to eat, Maya was busy telling Evan her past life while the man was also seriously listening to the girl's words. Maya was happy she could tell about her past life to someone in this world. Maya now feels like she has a pedestal that can remind her that Maya has indeed lived in that chaotic world."Of course, it's terrible. Chaos everywhere, the world with the law of the jungle, and the rampant crime because the world has no definite laws anymore. At first, the world did look like hell. Ah, until the end it might still look like hell. But at least at the end of my life, I've given them the knowledge they can use to wipe out the r
When Kevin finally came back after he finished taking care of Evan's company, all he saw was Maya sleeping while Evan rested on the big sofa in the room. Kevin first put his briefcase on one of the tables, before he sat down next to Evan."Finola hasn't woken up yet?" Kevin asked worriedly.Evan immediately shook his head to stop his friend's worries. "She was conscious when you were gone. But she went back to sleep after the doctor gave her medicine," Evan explained. Evan knew Kevin must be curious about Maya's condition after the girl woke up earlier. Evan moved to get up from his sitting position, before the man pointed towards the exit of Maya's room."Let's talk outside."Evan dragged Kevin out of the room and sat down on a bench in the corridor. Evan let Kevin go first to find vending machines and buy two cans of coffee to accompany their chat. The two of them sipped their coffee without saying much, before they finally sat down and were able to start the conversation in a more
When Maya woke up once again, the girl could see that her husband was busy discussing something serious with Kevin. Seeing the seriousness of the two when they spoke, Maya preferred to remain silent while staring at the two without saying anything. When Evan finally realized that Maya had opened her eyes, a warm smile immediately took over his previously serious face as the man hurriedly walked over and gave Maya a warm smile."Why didn't you say anything if you were already awake? Did you sleep well? It's time for dinner. I'll ask the nurse to bring your dinner here, okay?"Maya nodded as she received all of Evan's attention with open arms. "Have you eaten yourself? You can't skip your dinner just because you're fine now," Maya informed him. Evan's heart softened when he heard Maya's scolding. Finally, they really do look like a real couple right now."I've eaten my dinner, you don't have to worry," Evan informed her. Maya touched her husband's hand. Her smile widened as she shared h
Maya knew the frustration felt by Kris. But Maya knows that continuing the case will only endanger the position of Kris and his colleagues. They were just an honest police officer who had no support from any big family. If her grandfather wanted them to disappear from the face of the earth, doing so would be like swatting a mosquito to him.With Evan recovering, Maya believes her husband's strength will grow rapidly from now on. But dragging Evan back into the fight just to punish a man who nearly died like her grandfather was a complete waste of time. As long as Evan gets his justice, Maya doesn't care, even if the grandfather she never knew would keep trying to kill her once and for all.Maya laughed coldly as she replied to Kris' words. "Sergeant Kris doesn't have to bother with continuing to investigate that different case. The only thing he did was support someone to kill me when he had the chance. My grandfather hated me ever since he thought I was the cause of his beloved daugh
Evan walked briskly down the hospital hallway. It was only when he saw Kris sitting on one of the benches in the hospital hallway, Evan finally stopped walking and sat down next to the police officer.When Evan sat down next to him, Kris actually still didn't know how to start the conversation. The man clenched his fists tightly, before suddenly bowing towards Evan."Mr. Evan, sorry that I couldn't be of any help when I handled the accident case that happened to Mr. Evan's family many years ago. I am a coward, I did not have enough courage to seek justice for Mr. Evan at that time. Even after so many years passed, and I established my foothold. If ... If Mrs. Orlando hadn't looked for me back then, I probably wouldn't have been able to atone for the mistakes I made up until now."Evan immediately helped the man to sit up straight again as he spoke. "There's nothing to forgive, Sergeant Kris. I was careless at the time too. Neither you nor I have any evidence to detain my uncle for the
“Maya, don't be mad about this, okay? But for now, the doctor says that you shouldn't use your hands and feet until they're strong enough to be used again.”Maya chuckled as Evan looked so nervous when the doctor said that the girl should use a wheelchair until her wound got a little better. In fact, Maya should have been in the hospital even longer. But the girl couldn't bear to have her husband and friend keep accompanying her to the hospital in turns. Not to mention that Evan also just recovered not long ago. Maya didn't want the man to be exhausted, so she insisted on going home after a whole week she had spent in the hospital.“Evan, I'm not angry or frustrated. It's only temporary, I'm not sad at all, okay?” Maya comforted her husband with a sweet voice. Seeing his wife, Evan bent down to hug his wife gently.“After you get home, don't do anything and rest as much as you can. I have to visit the prison, while you will be escorted by Kevin to return home. Before the trial starts
In the middle of the night, a car finally pulled up in front of a large house that was far from other settlements. First, a bodyguard got out of the front seat. The big man opened the back door, revealing Evan, who's carefully getting out of the car.On his handsome face, now, there is a trace of fatigue that the man can no longer hide. He passed all the servants who were still awake to wait for him. Evan just wanted to shower and rest for now. His meeting with his uncle today, made Evan's mood turn really sour.Evan was indeed the first to take the initiative to see his uncle for one last time. He thought that since no one knew how long Anton would live, talking to his uncle would calm his heart. But when Evan saw his uncle, the image that appeared was the moments where Anton still appeared as a good uncle in front of him. Evan remembered how Anton always helped him, how the man took care of him, even though it was all just fake attention for his uncle.“Why do you look so bad? Didn'
“Mr. Anton, you have a visitor.”Anton, who was originally eating his breakfast, looked up when a warden led him out to meet someone who wanted to see him. Anton's brows furrowed slightly when the warden didn't take him to his usual place. An alert alarm began to sound in Anton's mind, when he was instead taken to a storage warehouse that used to be a place for inmates to play.“Hey, you said ….”“Shut up, or I'll make your prison life feel like you're in hell.”Anton immediately shut his mouth tightly when the warden began to threaten him with a serious tone. Outside the prison, he might be a man of power and respect. But inside the prison, he had no power at all. Anton could only follow the warden obediently, though his mind began to swirl with bad speculations along the way.“Finally, we meet in person, Mr. Anton.”Anton immediately turned his gaze to someone sitting casually inside the warehouse when he was finally brought in. His lips trembled with anger, as the puzzle pieces tha
