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
“And … Done.”Maya muttered to herself as she finished with her rehabilitation schedule. Because the injuries she suffered were not too serious, Maya was able to do self-rehabilitation at home to get used to her hands and feet again. One week is enough for Maya to return to walking and doing normal activities. However, because Evan is again too worried about Maya's condition, she really can't do many activities that can burden her body. Maya could only do simple movements with boredom these days.Maya's attention was distracted when, from a distance, she could hear a car slowly entering Evan's yard. The girl moved to approach the large window in the gym at Evan's house. A police car stopped right in front of the house. Kris got out of the car, seemed to be greeted by Kevin, who happened to be exercising with Evan on their day off.Maya rushed to the bathroom before she could go downstairs to greet the policeman. From Kevin, Maya learned. That it was inappropriate for a girl like her t
Maya watched as Evan seemed quieter these days. The man did try to act normal. But Maya knew, that sometimes his mind was elsewhere. Maya is afraid that Anton's death will have a bigger impact than she thought. Maya slightly frowned, when her eyes saw her husband was preparing to clean himself with a warm bath.When Evan entered the bathroom, Maya casually stood up and took off her clothes. With calm steps, Maya entered the bathroom. Her act has causing Evan, who was originally soaking in the bath tub, to jump up from his surprise.“You-”Evan's face turned redder as Maya calmly entered the same bath tub that Evan was using. Because Evan's bath tub is huge, Maya has no trouble finding a comfortable position on the same bath tub. The woman smiled, when she saw her husband's face turning even redder.“You've been looking troubled since Sergeant Kris came this morning. I'm fine now, so … I should be able to cheer you up, shouldn't I?”Evan, who usually wasn't concerned about such temptat
“Well, you're handsome now.”Evan stealthily stole a kiss on his wife's cheek when Maya finished helping him get ready. “You're also gorgeous, Maya,” he whispered softly when he saw Maya, who was wearing a matching black outfit. They will attend Anton's funeral this afternoon. Evan did it for his aunt and Diana, as well as for his official appearance with a healed body.Besides Anton, as a businessman, Evan also has many enemies who take advantage of his illness to steal some of his company's projects. Evan will appear to give them a warning. That his family has not been destroyed. And he, didn't die the way the people wanted him to.“Are you sure you want to come with me this time? Since you were accepted into university, you haven't come to attend your first class yet. And now … You have to postpone your studies again to accompany me.”Maya laughed when she heard her husband's concern. “Let's see if they have the courage to speak up after deliberately sneaking a kidnapper in the so-
“Diana told you she was going back to college? Good then. I'll see you at university later.”“Ah, I'll take care of university matters. Just tell Diana to focus on her studies.”“No, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do as a family. Thanks for letting me know. See you at the campus.”Evan watched as Maya called one of Diana's friends. After yesterday's funeral, Maya finally believed that she would start her studies today. The girl was ready to go to college, when one of Diana's friends called his wife.“Diana finally ready to go to her classes again?” Evan asked curiously.Maya nodded. “Yes. Diana told her friends that she was ready to go back to college today. I think yesterday's meeting really helped her. I plan to meet her at college later. Since yesterday, we haven't heard any news about Aunt Cynthia's condition, have we?”Cynthia is Diana's mother and Anton's wife. Because the woman was completely shaken yesterday, Maya and Evan were forced to go home before Cynthia could wake
After being reassured by Evan, Maya's mood improved so much that the girl didn't mind responding to people's greetings. Throughout the event, Maya smiled, spreading a positive aura which also affected Evan, who was initially a little annoyed by the gossiping girls. Under Maya's amusement, Evan finally had a more friendly face as they entered the cinema room while holding hands. The two of them sat on the bench that had been prepared. Evan rubbed Maya's hand lightly, as he whispered to the girl in a worried tone.“You can let me know whenever you sense that this movie is starting to make you uncomfortable. Remember, your happiness is my priority right now.”Maya smiled as she returned her husband's whisper. “I see. Thank you, Evan,” she said sincerely. Evan nodded in response to his wife's words. His face was very gentle, as he looked at his wife's face with great affection.After all the guests entered the room, the atmosphere gradually calmed down as the lights finally turned off. Wit
When the time came, Maya went to the premiere with Evan and a driver. Because they had to get ready before Evan's work time over, Kevin was forced to not be able to accompany them to complete the task left by Evan. Seeing Kevin working hard, Maya subconsciously felt sorry for him and started joking that Evan should give Kevin an appreciation for what the man had done for them all this time. But unexpectedly, Evan actually nodded in response to her words. Only when they were in the car, Evan finally open his mouth about the meaning of his nod.“I plan to transfer twenty-five percent of my family's wealth under his name. I really want to give more. But given his personality, he'd be upset if I gave him too much. I haven't talked about transferring this wealth to him. Do you mind if I do, Maya?”With the business and assets that Evan owns, twenty-five percent is enough for Kevin to spend the rest of his life in luxury without needing to work again. Maya satisfactorily shook her head. “He
[Orlando Family's Sole Heir Awakening.]Maya read the news with slightly furrowed brows. It was not the content of the news that annoyed her this time. But the comments, really annoyed Maya when the girl read them one by one.When Evan got sick, everyone judged their love story in a relatively negative way. Some think Maya only married for Evan's wealth. While others, feel sorry that Maya has to marry a dying man like Evan. Only few people who's sincerely wish for their happiness. But when news of Evan's recovery had spread, people seemed to be competing to delete their previous comments and start praising them as the happiest couple on earth. Some even claimed to know her or Evan, and praised their compatibility, even though Maya didn't actually know that people.Now Maya knew why Evan had been so isolated from the outside world all this time. In a time when Evan was at his worst, the man knew that no one was willing to help him except those who were sincere to him. People, who laugh
Once they arrived at the hospital, Diana had finished being examined and was resting in the infirmary with her friends. The incident seemed too shocking for the young girls, so neither of them spoke until Maya entered the room with Evan and Kevin.“Sorry, we came late. How are you guys doing now?”Diana's eyes immediately reddened when she remembered Maya had saved her life again. Maya, aware of Diana's feelings, immediately approached the girl. Maya let Diana hug her tightly, while she herself tried to calm Diana by gently stroking her back.“It's fine. You're safe now ….”Maya whispered softly while her eyes stared at Evan and Kevin, who were invited out by two of Diana's friends. Maya knew the two of them would most likely talk about Diana's examination results or just allow Diana some space to express her feelings. The girl waited until Diana was completely calm, before she let go of their embrace and wiped the tears that rolled down the Diana's cheeks.“Feeling better?” Maya aske
“Then, I hope you will be willing to listen to my advice.”While Maya was running everywhere looking for Diana, Evan and Kevin had just finished talking to the Dean and were being ushered out of the room. They were just about to open the door, when the head of the university security entered in such a hurry that he almost bumped into Evan, who was at the door.“I'm sorry, Sir. But someone just got into a fight in the warehouse!”People's faces turned red with embarrassment when the head of security reported the problem while Evan and Kevin were still in the room. They had just promised to increase security within the university. And now, someone even reported that there had just been a fight on the campus.“What are you saying? If the students start fighting, you can just bring them here without causing any unnecessary fuss!”The Dean scolded before Evan or Kevin grew suspicious of them. When Evan personally came to this university, they thought they could curry favor with Evan a litt
Elsewhere, Diana fell back hard when someone kicked her in the stomach. Her friends, Evelyn and Josephine, can only cry when they are held back by the other man, so they can't help Diana. Ever since Diana came to campus, the girl couldn't count how many insults she had received just for today. However, the treatment he received from this unknown guy, was the worst of all. When Diana arrived at her class, she was suddenly dragged out by these strong people. The beautiful clothes her father had given her were already messed up by the dirt and trash that had previously been dumped on her body. Diana stared at the ground with teary eyes. She knew, this was her punishment for having a father who had ruined many people's lives with his actions.“Oh my gosh, take a look. Mr. Anton's magnificent daughter looks like walking dirt right now.”The other kids laughed as one of them insulted Diana while looking at her mockingly. Slowly, Diana tried to get up again, even though her body was already
“Diana told you she was going back to college? Good then. I'll see you at university later.”“Ah, I'll take care of university matters. Just tell Diana to focus on her studies.”“No, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do as a family. Thanks for letting me know.
