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.

    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?

    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's face turned annoyed. She didn't expect Sebastian to bring it up here, in the middle of a tense situation. "Sebastian..." "Do you think I'll just let it go?" Sebastian gritted his teeth, trying to hold back the pain that was surfacing again. Sara took a step back, her face trying to remain calm. But her eyes showed panic that could not be hidden. "That's none of your business anymore, Sebastian. What happened between us is over. And I will not give Dinda to you. And I will protect her from this endless debate." "If you really want to protect Dinda, you won't raise her with lies." Sebastian's voice rose, his emotions could no longer be contained. "I have the right to Dinda, and I will not keep quiet anymore. I will fight for her custody, Sara. She deserves to grow up with the truth, not in the lies you created." Sara flinched at the threat. She knew that if Sebastian really fought for Dinda’s custody, there was a big chance that she woul

    With a smile on his lips, Sebastian began to feed Dinda again. Although she still winced a little because of the bland taste of the porridge, Dinda still obeyed and tried to finish her breakfast. While feeding Dinda, Sebastian spoke softly to her, telling funny stories about the things they did together when Dinda was younger."Dad, do you still remember when we went to the park, and Dinda ran around with that big dog?" Dinda asked, suddenly remembering an old incident that made her eyes shine.Sebastian chuckled. "Remember. That dog likes Dinda, he didn't stop chasing you until we had to climb onto the park bench," he said, still remembering how funny and adorable that moment was."Dad also climbed onto the bench, right?" Dinda giggled, remembering her Dad's surprised expression at that time."Yeah, Dad was scared too at that time," Sebastian admitted jokingly, making Dinda laugh even more.

    Sara, seeing the opportunity, immediately took over. She hugged Dinda lovingly, pretending to be calm in front of her daughter. "Dinda, Mommy isn't crying. You know Mommy loves you, right? Daddy just wants to ruin everything. He doesn't care about us," she said softly, but in a tone that clearly conveyed the message that Sebastian was a dangerous figure. Dinda nodded, wiping away the tears on her still-damp cheeks. "Yes, Mommy. I don't want to see Daddy anymore! Get out of here!" Dinda shouted, her voice getting higher and full of hatred. Sebastian felt an unbearable pain in his chest. He wanted to step closer, but he felt as if an invisible wall was blocking him. "Dinda, please... listen to Daddy. I love you. Daddy doesn't want to make Mommy or you feel sad. Daddy just wants us to be together again. We can play and have fun," he said, his voice full of hope, even though deep inside he felt despair. "No! Go away!" Dinda insisted, her voice breaking the

This could be a big advantage for us.”Sara felt calmer and more excited, then leaned her head on Rendy’s shoulder. “I want to end all this, Rendy. I don’t want to deal with Sebastian anymore. I want to marry you soon,” she said in a soft voice, but full of hope.Rendy looked at her intently. “Are you sure, Sara? This is not a small step. We have to think about all the consequences,” he asked, although his smile showed his support.“Yes, I’m sure,” Sara answered firmly. “I don’t want to live in fear or constantly deal with a painful past.

    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.

    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.

    "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

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.

    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.

    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
