Sebastian still felt a bit confused, but he didn’t want to prolong the questions, so he simply nodded and looked at Dinda, who appeared uncertain. “So, Dinda has to blow into this for breathing exercises, right?”
The nurse nodded. “Exactly, sir. This will help open the airways and improve airflow in her lungs.”Dinda sat there, still feeling weak, gazing at the blowing device with doubt. Sebastian sat beside her, trying to encourage her. “Dinda, sweetheart. Try blowing into it, okay? I believe you can do it.”Dinda looked at Sebastian with weary eyes. “But Daddy... I’m tired. I can’t blow that thing.”Hearing this, Sebastian felt a pang in his heart. He knew how difficult this was for Dinda right now. “It’s okay, sweetheart. Just try a little bit. Every small effort counts. I’m here to help you.”Sebastian hoped Dinda could find a bit of courage to try, even though her body felt weak. He wanted her to know she wasn’t alone in this strugglSebastian 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
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
“What do you mean? What cyst?”Sebastian blinked, staring at the small screen on his phone, feeling his heart beat faster. The emergency information he had just received made him pause in front of his door, but then he ran to the car without thinking. He knew that something serious had happened to his wife. He had to get to the hospital immediately.His voice was hoarse as he spoke to the hospital operator, trying to get a grasp of the situation as quickly as possible.“This is a complication… You need to come to the hospital immediately and sign the consent form for surgery as soon as possible.” The voice was flat but urgent.Sebastian pressed the accelerator, his eyes scanning the road anxiously. His breathing was erratic, his mind spinning with various bad scenarios. His heart was filled with overwhelming fear—his wife, Sara, had always seemed healthy. They had just celebrated their wedding anniversary last week, and there had been no sign of anything like this happening. She had t
“Sebastian, listen to me. You need to know something.” Sara’s voice was firm, but Sebastian could feel the tension behind it.They had been in this uncomfortable situation for a few minutes, but Sara’s next words would change everything.“What else do you want to explain?” Sebastian asked in a flat tone, trying to remain calm even as his anger boiled beneath the surface. He didn’t know what else Sara could say after the affair was revealed.Sara took a deep breath, then in a bold tone, said, “I may be married to you, but that doesn’t mean I lose my sexual freedom. Just because we’re married doesn’t mean I’m completely yours.”Sebastian was silent. His eyes stared at Sara sharply, waiting for the continuation of her sentence, but in his heart, he could hardly believe what he had just heard.“As a woman, I have the right to explore my own desires. I don’t think this is wrong. We haven’t been together for a long time, so I—I have the right to find my happiness elsewhere!” Sara continued
"Who is Rich Daddy, Dinda? I am your only father!" Sebastian's voice trembled, trying to hold back his burning anger. But the words came out louder than he intended.Dinda frowned, looking at her father with a scared look. She took a few steps back, slowly releasing her grip on Sebastian. “No, Dad! Rich Daddy is good. He often gives me toys!” Dinda shouted, her voice getting higher.Hearing those words made Sebastian's chest feel tight as if something was strangling him. How could Sara bring another man into their daughter's life and make Dinda believe that there was another father figure who replaced him?Sebastian knelt in front of Dinda, trying to calm his anger and speak more softly. "Dinda, only me is your father. No one else. Whoever the man your mother brought here is, he is not your father." However, his words did not reach Dinda. His eyes began to fill with tears, and he began to tremble in fear. "Why is you angry? I don't like you angry!" Suddenly Dinda pushed Sebastian
“Ah, Sebastian. You remember, right? This land is under my name. You gave it to me as our wedding gift. Even the house you built with great difficulty, it’s all mine now.”Sebastian fell silent, his heart felt like it was being squeezed. That house was where he had placed his hopes and dreams, every stone he had stacked was a manifestation of his love and dedication to their little family. He used to think that the house would be a place where they would grow old together, watching their children grow up. But now, reality hit him. Sara not only claimed the property but also lived there with another man—her lover. The thought of that stranger sitting in the living room, walking on the floor that Sebastian had once built with his own hands, was something he could barely accept.Sebastian’s lawyer coughed softly, drawing his attention back to the pile of documents in front of him.“You need to sign this as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the worse the situation will be. Especially
"Dinda, honey, let's go back to sleep," Sebastian said softly, holding back the emotional turmoil that was still swirling inside him. He looked at his daughter lovingly, realizing that this argument was not something a child should hear. "Mommy and daddy are just talking, there's nothing for you to worry about." Dinda stood in the doorway, confused. Her eyes moved from Sebastian to Sara, then to the lawyer sitting quietly beside her mother. Her expression did not show fear, but confusion, as if she was trying to understand this complicated situation. Sebastian's heart sank when he saw his daughter's innocent face. He opened his arms, wanting to hug Dinda, trying to give her the sense of security she needed. "Come here, honey. Daddy's here." However, Dinda did not immediately run into his arms. Instead, she looked at her mother, then turned to the lawyer who was sitting calmly, not the least bit disturbed by the tension in the room. Dinda hesitated for a moment, then what happened
Hearing all this, Sebastian almost fainted. The emotions burning in his heart could not be contained. In an instant, anger took over him. With a swift movement, he knocked the lawyer to the ground and grabbed his neck tightly. “You are indeed a cowardly man, a traitor! Insolent!” He could not understand that the person in front of him was a traitor, a person who had messed up everything he had. However, as the situation was getting out of control and the atmosphere in the room was tense, his wife ran over, quickly breaking a vase on Sebastian’s head. The sound of the broken ceramics made him jump, as if making him realize the bitter reality that he had to face. Sebastian could not believe what was happening. In an instant, he was arrested by the police. His wife, who was now standing next to the lawyer with a straight face, claimed that he had intentionally hurt someone. Even their little daughter, Dinda, who had always been considered his hope and happiness, testified against Se

Dinda nodded, feeling more at ease with her father by her side.Before long, a doctor entered to check on Dinda’s condition. Sebastian immediately stood up and greeted the doctor politely. “How is my daughter, Doctor?” he asked with hopeful anticipation.The doctor smiled slightly, delivering good news about Dinda’s condition. “Dinda is much better than just a few days ago. However, we still need to monitor her progress, especially to ensure there are no further complications.”Sebastian felt a slight weight lift off his chest. Although worries still lingered, new hope emerged within him. He knew Dinda was in good hands and was determined to support her through her recovery.Sebastian nodded. “Is there anything I need to watch out for?”The doctor thought for a moment before answering. “The most important thing is to ensure she doesn’t get too tired and maintains her diet and rest. We will also conduct some follow-up tests to make sure ev
The next morning, Sebastian received news that Dinda would be moved to a VIP room because her condition had stabilized. Although Sara had not contacted him yet, Sebastian decided to return to the hospital. For him, every opportunity to be with Dinda was something he could not miss.He prepared himself and set off for the hospital. In his heart, he hoped to provide the support and encouragement Dinda needed to fully recover. Every step toward the hospital felt filled with hope, and Sebastian knew that his presence beside Dinda would mean a lot.Upon arriving at the hospital, Sebastian headed straight to the VIP floor. He saw several nurses busy moving Dinda from the intensive care unit to her new room. Dinda sat in a wheelchair, covered with a blanket, while Sara walked beside her, occasionally bending down to ensure Dinda was comfortable.When Sara saw Sebastian approaching, her face immediately stiffened. However, before she could open her mouth, Dinda ca
Sebastian paused for a moment, his brow furrowed. "What is Rendy doing here? And who is that in the wheelchair?" he thought. Curiosity began to creep into his mind. He stepped a little closer, trying to catch their conversation. In his heart, he felt uneasy. Maybe something important was happening, and he felt alienated from the information. Sebastian tried to calm himself down and pay closer attention, hoping to recognize the figure in the wheelchair. Was it someone he knew? Or was there a connection to Dinda that he might not know about? With every heartbeat, his curiosity grew, pushing him to find out more. When he was about to step closer to make sure, his phone suddenly vibrated. Andi, appeared on the screen. Sebastian stared at the screen hesitantly, but finally decided to answer the call. "Yes, Andi. What's up?" Sebastian asked while continuing to watch Rendy from a distance. "Sir, I just want to remind you, tomorrow
Sara looked at Rendy suspiciously. "Who was that?" she asked, trying to catch the nuance behind his awkward smile.Rendy gave a small smile, though he seemed uncomfortable. "From the office."Sara stared at him intently, sensing something was off. "If it’s important, you should answer it. You haven't been in the office for days. I’ll be fine here alone."Rendy shook his head, trying to reassure her. "I don't think it's important. Besides, I prefer to be here with you and Dinda."Hearing that, Sara felt a bit touched, but the tension within her remained. She appreciated Rendy's presence, but her worries about Dinda still overshadowed her. Outside the room, the sound of medical machines pulsed softly, creating an increasingly tense atmosphere.They both fell silent for a moment, absorbing the situation. Rendy tried to calm Sara, but the feeling of anxiety continued to haunt them. In her heart, Sara prayed that Dinda would recover soon and t
Sebastian held Dinda’s hand tighter, trying to provide a sense of safety. In that moment, Sebastian resolved to protect his daughter from all fears. He wanted Dinda to know that she was not alone and that he would always be there for her."Everything that happened is over. Now, focus on Daddy. We will get through this together," he said softly, trying to give comfort.Dinda looked at her father, her eyes slightly calmer. Sebastian felt the burden on his chest lift a little, though worry still loomed. He would do anything to ensure that Dinda felt safe and loved. In that embrace of affection, he hoped to erase all the fears his daughter had experienced.Dinda tried to speak again, but her voice was very weak. Sebastian leaned down closer to hear her. "Daddy, I miss you..."Hearing those words, Sebastian felt his heart break. He could no longer hold back his tears. He gently kissed Dinda's hand, tears streaming down his face. "I miss you too, D
Sebastian sat in the meeting room, but his mind drifted far from the presentation happening in front of him. Amid the manager's explanation of the new strategy, the face of his little daughter, Dinda, haunted him. Her cheerful smile and innocent gaze filled his thoughts, deepening his anxiety.Dinda, who was lying in the hospital, became the center of Sebastian's concern. He recalled how sweet it was when they played together or when Dinda hugged him before bedtime. Now, as he sat in the meeting room, worry gnawed at his heart. Was Dinda okay? Had she regained consciousness?Each time the manager mentioned numbers or graphs, Sebastian could only nod without truly paying attention. Guilt began to creep in as he realized how much he had neglected time with his daughter for the sake of work. In the silence of the meeting room, his hope to return home and hug Dinda grew stronger.At that moment, he vowed to himself not to let work interfere with precious momen
