"Thank God Mr. Michael passed his critical period well, although it took a while," said the doctor in charge of Michael with a look of relief. “At least the follow-up observation after Mr. Michael regains his consciousness is still ongoing.”Helena let out a sigh of relief. She gently squeezed Thomas' hand on her shoulder. Thomas had arrived just as Kenneth had told him the news. He helped Helena sit in the wheelchair and escorted her to Michael's medical room. Helena also seemed enthusiastic to meet him, as if the sadness she had been feeling all afternoon had been eased by the news of Michael's awakening.They gathered right in front of the door to Michael's ward. The doctor only allowed one person to visit Michael, as his condition was still unstable. If he improved within twenty-four hours, Michael would be placed in a room next to Helena.The decision was made for the safety of both of them under the intense supervision of Tommy Andreas. Both Thomas and Hanry Edison agreed that t
News of Nakia CEO's accident was breaking fast. It also almost overshadowed the news about what happened with Intel Corp and the Cyber Group. However, the legal process continued as it was supposed to. There were no delays despite being represented by Wilna as well as Thomas, although the man only occasionally visited Nakia's office. They would not be distracted by news and Helena's condition.“Don't lose focus during the court proceedings, Wilna,” Thomas warned.Wilna rolled her eyes in annoyance. She still had a lot of files in her hands but the call from Thomas had been very distracting this whole time. And that was all Thomas said? Where was Wilna's focus except on the pile of files she would bring to the court?Even though Helena wasn't with Nakia, Wilna had full responsibility and wouldn't let Nakia miss out on a great opportunity to make Intel Corp pay for its actions.“Of course not, Mr. Thomas.” Wilna tried to speak in a normal tone. Although she repeatedly held back her anno
Before Rudi opened the door to the room where the woman who wanted to meet him was waiting, he took a deep breath. His heart was beating fast. Cold sweat had been pouring down his forehead since he entered the lobby of this building. But he couldn't run away because the woman knew how to make him fulfill her call.“Come in,” said the voice in the room after Rudi knocked on the black painted wooden door in front of him.Once again, Rudi let out a long breath. “Miss Tiara,” Rudi called, trying to be as calm as possible. The room was quite large with windows overlooking the city from the 35th floor of the Jacob Group building. Tiara Jacob stood with her back to Rudi. Staring out the window as if it was a fun thing to do. The faint afternoon sunlight reflected off her jet-black hair, adding to the woman's cold and menacing air.Rudi trembled with horror at meeting Tiara for the umpteenth time.“What else do you want from me?” Rudi asked in a trembling voice despite his efforts to remain c
The room where Helena was treated had a living room that was often used for meetings and work in between her therapy and recovery. Helena doesn't like to waste her time crying about what has happened. She had to keep moving with the flow of life.The large window near the living room was her favorite place to spend time reviewing the files Wilna had brought. Like this afternoon, Helena sat leaning back on the sofa, her face looking stern even though her body was still recovering. Her right hand was busy flipping through the documents Wilna had just handed over, while her left hand slowly adjusted the eyeglasses above her nose. Her gaze was sharp, focused, and glued to the pages she was reading.“How's the court proceedings going?” asked Helena as she adjusted her glasses.“Aren't you tired?” asked Wilna with an irritated look. Since her arrival an hour ago, Helena had not stopped checking the many files she had submitted. Wilna and Thomas' remarks about Helena focusing more on her rec
contains violent and slightly suspenseful scenes. Please understand***Rudi's eyes slowly opened. His whole body felt broken and painful even just to move his hand, he cringed in pain. His gaze immediately scanned around. Rudi just found out that he was placed in an unfamiliar room. The room was dark, leaving only very minimal lighting, damp, and filled with something quite disturbing. Whether it was because this room was long unused or deliberately left like this, Rudi didn't know.“Where am I?” he asked as he tried to sit up. It was a little difficult for him to move because his legs were bound. The smell of blood and his sticky body made him remember what happened to him. “Ugh!” He massaged his temples.Rudi remembered, while on his way out of town at night, a car made him pull over because the way he was driving was very dangerous. He forgot one thing, however; Rudi had been targeted since he exited the freeway gate from the city center.At that moment, all he knew was... he was
Michael looked at Helena with a long sigh. In his hand was a file with information from the hospital where Helena had her prenatal check-ups. Although the name listed was no longer Helena Edison's, the file was issued based on valid data. The truth can be accounted for. As well as the laptop that had just displayed a video recognition from someone, who looked very messed up.Helena was initially shocked by the man's looks - bruised wounds around his face, a frightened look in his eyes, and a bloodstained shirt. But she struggled to keep up with what the man was saying.Michael repeatedly observed Helena's expression in case he wanted to end the interrogation, which was quite scary for Helena. For Michael, this was something he was used to doing for a variety of reasons.“As I suspected,” Helena said quietly, as she closed her laptop so as not to show the man with the terrifying face anymore. Helena tried to get the image of the man out of her mind. It looked horrible but it seemed tha
Tonight's banquet at Hanry Edison's luxurious mansion was special. Although it was originally called a small banquet, just to welcome Helena back from the hospital, the atmosphere created in the backyard was even more joyful than expected. The servants decorated the back garden area with elegant chandeliers. The cool evening breeze added to the cozy atmosphere. Classy guests could be seen enjoying light conversation as soft music played in the background.Michael, who was standing next to Helena, smiled and enjoyed the atmosphere. “Mr. Hanry is really hosting quite a banquet,” he commented as he raised his wine glass, his eyes looking around. There was a slight streak of fatigue on his face, although he was almost recovered, the brace on his arm was still a reminder that his condition was not completely back to normal.Helena smiled a little, looking back at Michael for a moment. “At least you look better now. But I'm sure this wine would taste better in a slightly quieter place.” She
“If I give you a warning, will you listen?” asked Michael as he removed his seat belt. The brace on his hand had been released. The doctor has also stated that the condition of Michael's hand is gradually recovering. Although for the time being, he will not be allowed to get behind the wheel. But at least he could move his hand normally again.Helena laughed from the back seat. She prepared to get off, but Michael didn't seem to like it when she was ahead of him. That's why Helena chose to wait until the car door opened for her. More correctly, Michael opened it for her. One of Michael's hands made sure that Helena's head did not hit the top of the car.“I'm just not going to work overtime, Michael. You don't have to worry.” Helena looked at Michael and smiled slightly. “I have Wilna to help me anyway, right?”“Somehow, I don't necessarily believe that you'll need that help. I'd believe it more if you were suddenly busy with meetings, pouring your energy into getting a lot of work don
