2024-10-21 04:35:50Sebastian felt confused and frustrated. He didn’t want to get caught up in this devious adult game. Deep down, he wanted his father to want something more genuine and meaningful for their relationship. “But this isn’t what I expected, Dad. I wanted us to build a stronger relationship based on honesty, not manipulation,” he insisted, feeling the emotions roiling inside him.
Of course, his father remained firm. “I know this seems difficult, but we have to play this game for our own good. Let them help us with connections and business opportunities. It’s all for your future,” he said again, trying to defend his position. Sebastian still couldn’t believe that his father hadn’t changed a bit. Deep inside, he felt a combination of anger and deep disappointment, but he realized that some things couldn’t be changed that easily.In the end, even though he was still angry, Sebastian knew that he didn’t have much of a choice. “Okay, Dad.

Sebastian seemed at a loss for words. He was not only angry with Sara, but also with himself for still paying attention to her argument, even though there was clearly injustice in this situation. “You really have no shame,” he said, staring at her with a sharp gaze. He was sure that all of this was not solely about Dinda, but more focused on Sara’s personal interests and the egoism that always overshadowed her decisions. “I’m just doing what’s best for Dinda. You should understand, this isn’t just about the two of us—she’s the most important,” Sara said coldly, as if she was trying to dramatize the situation to gain sympathy.Sebastian bit his lip, feeling the emotions inside him rising. “You may be able to pretend like you care about Dinda, but everything you do is only for your own benefit. If you truly want what’s best for her, you shouldn’t use her as a tool to bring me down.”The lopsided smile on Sara’s face grew wider, as if she felt she had the p

“She’s Sara’s child!” his father retorted, as if trying to emphasize that Dinda wasn’t entirely his. “You’re just caught up in these emotions. This isn’t the way to solve problems, Sebastian.”“It may not be the way you want, but it’s the way I believe in,” Sebastian said, his tone firm. He knew that his father didn’t want to understand what he was feeling. “I’m not going back to Sara. She stabbed me in the back, and I’m not going to let myself be tied down again to someone who betrayed me.”His father fell silent, perhaps surprised by Sebastian’s assertiveness. “But legally, this could be a serious problem. You can’t live your life based on feelings alone,” he tried to explain, but Sebastian no longer paid attention to his words.“Dinda doesn’t deserve to live in a controversial and toxic environment. She should have a brighter future, and I feel responsible for saving her,” Sebastian said, feeling determination in his heart.Sebastian stood str

“No. She doesn’t want to see you anymore. ‘Poor daddy’,” Sara replied sarcastically, as if belittling Sebastian’s efforts to be involved in Dinda’s life. Every word that came out of her mouth was like a needle that stabbed his heart deeper.Sebastian felt pent-up anger. “This is too much, Sara! I’m not the ‘poor daddy’ you mentioned! I may not be Dinda’s biological father, but I want to be a part of her life,” he said, his voice rising, but he tried to make sure he remained polite despite the anger. But Sara just smiled sarcastically, making him feel even more hopeless. “She might be better off without your drama-filled presence. Why don’t you just focus on yourself?” she replied, shrugging as if none of this mattered to her. Sebastian was completely fed up. Everything he had done, all the effort he had put into protecting Dinda and speaking up for the little girl seemed to be in vain. “You only care about yourself! Dinda deserves to know about me and ha

She only realized how important Sebastian was after finding out that he was the 'heir' of a large company. Everything she had previously considered trivial about Sebastian now seemed valuable in her eyes. She had once underestimated his struggles, thinking that Sebastian was just a part of her past, but now she felt as if she had missed a great opportunity. Even though regret was on her mind, Sara quickly pushed it aside. She had already committed herself to marry Rendy, who clearly had wealth and a strong social position. Money was the most valuable thing to her, and she knew that in order to get what she wanted, she had to be consistent with her choice. “There’s no going back,” she thought firmly. “Everything is done for money.” She knew that even though her feelings for Sebastian might still be there, her decision to unite with Rendy was a more strategic move. A life of comfort, luxury, and financial security were far more important to Sara than a r

Sara woke up in the middle of the night feeling restless. The room was quiet, but suddenly a weak groan came from Dinda's room. Her instincts immediately told her to get up and check on her daughter. With quick steps, Sara headed to Dinda's room, and when she approached the small bed, she saw Dinda's face sweating and looking restless in her sleep. "Dinda?" Sara called softly, trying to wake her daughter who looked disturbed in her sleep. However, Dinda only groaned softly, her small body writhing restlessly. Sara felt her heart sink in worry. When she touched Dinda's forehead, she was surprised to find her daughter's body very hot. The heat was so high that Sara pulled her hand away quickly as if stung. "Oh my God ...," Sara muttered, her heart pounding. Panic immediately surged in her chest. She knew this was no ordinary fever. Without thinking, she immediately grabbed her cell phone, called the driver to get ready, and carefully carried Dinda, whose

Suddenly, Dinda began to move restlessly in her sleep. Her pale face looked increasingly tense, and she began to make soft sounds. "Dad... Sebastian..." she groaned in a hoarse and weak tone. Her body was shaking even more, and Sara, who realized what her daughter had said, was shocked. "Sebastian?" Sara muttered softly, her heart astonished. Why at a time like this, when Dinda was sick and had a fever, was Sebastian the name her daughter was calling? She felt shocked to see Dinda continue to call out for her father, a small cry was heard between her gasping breaths. Dinda continued to sleep talk, her body shivering and calling incessantly, "Dad... Sebastian... miss you..." Sara felt her heart being stabbed. Guilt began to creep into her chest. How could Dinda miss her father so much, while she had always closed the door between Dinda and Sebastian? Sara knew, however, that Sebastian was a part of Dinda's life. But she never thought that the longing wo

Suddenly, Sara's maid, Mrs. Rina, appeared from the side of the house. Her face looked worried, and when she saw Sebastian, she immediately approached him. "Mr. Sebastian," she said in a low voice. "Dinda... she was taken to the hospital last night."Sebastian felt as if the whole world stopped for a moment. "What? Why? What happened to her?" he asked urgently, unable to hide his surging anxiety.Mrs. Rina shook her head, her eyes full of sympathy. "Dinda has a high fever and can't sleep. Mrs. Sara took her to the hospital for further treatment.""Dinda is in the hospital now?" Sebastian panicked and rushed to his car. "I have to go there. Thank you, Mrs. Rina.""Mr. Sebastian, be careful. Mrs. Sara is already there, and they are still examining her," Mrs. Rina added, but Sebastian was impatient. He drove to the hospital full of worry.Sebastian panicked when he arrived at the hospital and immediately found out where Dinda was being trea

Dinda, who was still lying weakly on the bed, suddenly hugged Sebastian tightly. Her small but soulful hands gripped Sebastian's shirt, as if afraid that her father would leave again. "Daddy... I miss you so much," her voice was hoarse but full of emotion. Sebastian was silent for a moment, his heart seemed to explode with mixed feelings—happy, sad, and relieved. He returned Dinda's hug gently, embracing his daughter in the warmth he had longed for. "Daddy misses you so much too, honey," he whispered, Sebastian's voice trembling slightly. Dinda continued to hug Sebastian tightly, not wanting to let go. Her tears began to flow, dripping down her cheeks which were hot from the fever. "I was scared, Daddy... I thought Daddy wouldn't come again." Sebastian rubbed Dinda's back gently, trying to calm his daughter. "Daddy is always there for you, Dinda. Whatever happens, Daddy will never leave you. You are everything to Daddy."

Sara couldn’t ignore the doubts that began to overshadow her thoughts about Rendy and their relationship. This uncertainty made her feel trapped, torn between trust in her partner and the growing worry.With each heartbeat, Sara was resolved to seek the truth—whatever might be revealed, she needed to know in order to protect Dinda and herself.But Sara brushed the thought aside. Sebastian was just trying to complicate her life, she thought stubbornly. Yet, the doubt continued to grow in a small corner of her heart.After ensuring Dinda was sleeping peacefully, Sara decided to find the doctor on duty who could explain the scar. She walked toward the doctor's office with firm steps. There, she found a nurse organizing the patient schedule."Excuse me, I want to see the doctor who is taking care of my daughter, Dinda," Sara said in a firm yet polite tone.The nurse looked at the schedule in her hand before responding, "I’m sorry, Mrs. S

Sara felt her heart ache at the anger and sadness on Dinda's face. She knew her daughter missed Daddy Sebastian very much, and her feelings were entirely valid. Although she tried to explain gently, Dinda still looked disappointed and confused.Sara reminded herself to be patient, trying to find a way to explain the situation better. She hoped to give Dinda understanding so her daughter could feel more at ease and not neglected. In her mind, she resolved to find the right time to talk to Dinda about her feelings and hopes.Sara took a deep breath, trying to hold back her emotions. "Sweetheart, Mommy just wants the best for you. Besides, Daddy Rendy is here. You can play with him."Dinda huffed, crossing her arms. "Daddy Rendy isn’t fun. He always daydreams when I invite him to play. That makes me mad!"Hearing that, Sara felt a bit frustrated. She knew Dinda really needed attention and love. However, she also understood that Rendy might be facing

The woman looked pale, her eyes swollen, clearly showing that she had just been crying. When she saw Rendy approaching, Vina appeared a bit relieved but still deeply worried.Rendy felt the pain in Vina's heart and knew this situation was very serious. He tried to calm himself, even though the tension in the air felt heavy. Rendy knew that this was the right time to support Vina and find out what was really happening with Rachel."Rendy!" Vina called with a trembling voice. She immediately walked up to him and hugged him tightly without hesitation."What happened?" Rendy asked urgently, although his voice sounded softer. He stroked Vina's back with a hand that tried to remain calm, even though he himself was on the verge of losing control.Vina took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears. Rendy felt the tension in her body, and he grew more worried about Rachel's condition. In that embrace, he tried to provide strength to Vina, hoping to hea

Suddenly, Rendy's phone rang. As he answered, his expression changed instantly. From a warm face while with Dinda, now it showed a striking tension. He listened intently to the voice on the other end, occasionally nodding even though those around him couldn't hear the conversation.A moment later, he hung up and hurriedly put his phone in his pocket. His face revealed that something serious was happening, and I felt curious about what he had heard. Rendy looked restless, and I could sense that this situation might be related to something more significant than just personal issues."Sara," Rendy said, his voice somewhat tense. "I have to go to the office now. There’s an important matter with a client that can’t be postponed."Rendy appeared rushed, and the tension on his face became more evident. He seemed to struggle with his words before leaving, as if he wanted to explain more, but time seemed to be running out. With quick steps, he prepared to leave, ab

"Are you sure this is just a coincidence?" Sara asked again, this time her voice softer.Rendy nodded firmly. "Of course. There's nothing for you to worry about. They’re just clients, nothing more."Seeing Rendy's calm demeanor, Sara began to second-guess her suspicions. A part of her wanted to believe Rendy’s words, even though the shadow of Sebastian and his earlier words still lingered in her mind.The anxiety that had once consumed her thoughts began to subside, but an underlying sense of unease remained. She tried to convince herself that maybe this was indeed just a coincidence. However, doubt still loomed in her heart, leaving her feeling trapped between the desire to believe and the fear of a greater possibility.Rendy stepped closer, gently touching Sara's shoulder. "You look tired. Let’s go back to Dinda's room. I'm sure she wants to see both of us," he said softly. Sara gazed deeply at Rendy, trying to read

Sara bit her lip. She knew she shouldn't let her thoughts carry her away. However, her maternal instinct—the urge to protect Dinda—was starting to push her to uncover the truth. Sebastian might be wrong, but what if he was right?That worry gnawed at her mind, making her feel restless. She wanted to protect Dinda from anything that could harm her, including painful truths. Taking a deep breath, Sara tried to calm herself, but the urge to find out more grew stronger.She picked up her phone again, contemplating her next move. Should she try to contact Rendy once more or seek out other information? Deep down, she knew she had to get answers, no matter how difficult it might be.After a few minutes, Sara tried calling again, but still no answer. Her anxiety grew, and she began to feel something was off. Yet, on the other hand, she didn’t want to think too far without proof."Be patient, Sara," she told herself. "Maybe this is all just a coincidence.
I am Not a Poor Daddy 79
Sara took a deep breath, her face showing a mix of exhaustion and anger. "Sebastian, I don’t care what you saw or think. All I know is that you’ve crossed the line by interfering in my life and Rendy’s. I’ve been patient enough. You should mind your own business and leave now."Those words felt like a slap to Sebastian. He sensed the tension in the air thickening, and even though he wanted to fight to convey the truth, Sara's firm voice made him hesitate. He realized that this situation had exceeded the boundaries he had anticipated.Sebastian stood still, trying to digest her words, but his heart felt heavy. He wanted to defend himself, but seeing Sara's expression, he knew that continuing this conversation would only make things worse.He stared at Sara for a moment, trying to find signs that she might be hiding something. However, Sara's gaze was stern, leaving no room for further discussion. He felt uncertainty and doubt, but the courage to ask further

Vina glanced at Rachel with a hint of guilt before turning her attention back to Rendy. "So, when exactly will he be moved?" she asked, trying to ensure everything was going according to plan.Rendy looked back, this time with a firmer tone. "In a few hours. The special ambulance is ready, and the route has been arranged so that no one will know. You just need to make sure Sebastian isn’t at the hospital during that time."Vina nodded, feeling the weight of the situation grow heavier. She knew that everything had to be done carefully, and every step counted. The tension between them was palpable, but they all understood that this was a necessary step."Okay. But I can't keep blocking him. If he finds out I'm deliberately stopping him, he'll become even more suspicious," Vina said, feeling the pressure.Rendy sighed, understanding the difficulty Vina faced. "I'll find another way to distract him. You do what you can. We can't let Rachel be found, V

Sebastian mentally rescheduled his work, determined to return to Dinda's side as soon as everything was taken care of.However, when he reached the lobby, his eyes caught a familiar figure—Rendy. The man seemed to walk quickly in another direction, pushing a door toward a different corridor. At first, Sebastian didn't want to pay attention, but something inside him held him back. The direction Rendy was heading was different from the path to Dinda's room. "Where is he going?" Sebastian muttered to himself. Curiosity took over him. He decided to follow Rendy's steps. However, the path was not smooth. In the busy hospital corridor, Sebastian had to navigate through several groups of visitors chatting. His steps halted momentarily as a patient in a wheelchair was pushed by a nurse right in front of him. Sebastian let out a soft grunt. "Damn," he muttered, feeling he had lost Rendy's trail. But when he glanced to the right, he saw the man turn at the end
