Deric was at the edge of the lake. His face was still etched with a smile as he glanced at the small box he had prepared since yesterday. He had spent the whole day walking around and taking pictures with his camera. Deric no longer asked Helen or the maids about Caraline's whereabouts. He believed that Caraline would return to the house sooner or later. He suspected that Caraline was busy with work, or perhaps visiting somewhere to unwind. Instead of being annoyed, Deric felt calm when he didn't get an answer when he called Caraline. As long as the call was connected, he believed she was fine. "I'd better hurry," Deric said as he moved the wheelchair forward. The man circled the lake. The maple leaves seemed to fall as if welcoming his presence. He stopped somewhere, then took a bag from under the wheelchair. Deric began his work there. He moved from one side to the other as he attached some accessories to some tree trunks and also a wooden fence that led to the lake. Although his

Caraline suddenly tensed up after pressing the button. She occasionally tucked a lock of hair behind her ear that had somehow fallen back over the front of her face. Her breathing sounded heavy as if she was waiting for important news.Caraline was instantly quiet when the sound of the device started. She strained her ears as best she could.[Hi, you're doing well over there, right? I'm glad you ignored my call, it's a sign that you're still the Caraline I know]"What a freak!" sneered Caraline as she stopped the recording. Afterward, she played the voice message again.[Actually, I have a request. A few days ago, I wanted to tell you about it. But, it seems that you are still busy with work. So, I thought I could wait a bit.Exactly a few hours from now, I turn twenty-five years old. Time seems short to me. A few years ago, I wanted to become a professional basketball player. However, that seemed too far away for me to achieve after realizing my current condition. Therefore, on my cu

Diego was taken aback when Caraline's face sagged towards his chest. The man felt his heart rate increase twice as fast. He quickly gave the musicians the code to leave the venue.Time was ticking away. Diego still faithfully used his chest as a pillow for Caraline. He dozed off for a while and when he woke up it was three in the morning.Diego enjoyed that more than any pleasure he'd ever had. Caraline's charms were a feast for his eyes as well as his heart. His sleepiness suddenly vanished into thin air. This was an opportunity that wouldn't come around twice.Diego wanted to take Caraline to his room so she could fall asleep in comfort. However, he didn't want to wake the CEO of the Mimiline Group and make her think anything when he picked her up.Diego took in Caraline's beautiful features. The woman had a sharp gaze, haughty and seductive at the same time. On top of that, Caraline was blessed with fair skin and a well-proportioned body, it was obvious that the woman cared for her

Caraline was instantly stunned when she heard Deric's voice. Her cell phone slowly moved away from her ear. Her jaw was so rotten that her mouth gaped like a cave. As time passed, her fear gradually subsided. When her condition slowly stabilized, the woman quickly wiped away tears, turning around."I'm here," Deric said with a smile.Caraline looked at the wheelchair lying nearby. The woman looked at Deric and the object several times in a turn. "What the hell is going on?"Caraline backed away slowly. She almost thought Deric had fallen into the lake and drowned. Although she knew that the man could swim, the depth of the lake was not something that the disabled man could easily handle.However, in reality, Caraline saw Deric in the canoe, sitting with his hand on the paddle. Meanwhile, his legs seemed to be aligned and there was no sign of movement."Is the cold making your tears fall?" Deric asked."What the hell are you DOING!" screeched Caraline in a raised voice at the end of th

A smile never faded from Caraline's face. She never seemed to tire of scanning her surroundings. Her eyes sparkled every time the light changed color.If forced to be honest, Caraline had no regrets about accepting Deric's offer. She just couldn't believe that he could prepare all of this in just one night, even though his movements were limited by a wheelchair."When God takes something away from you, He strengthens another part of you," Deric said.Caraline turned around. The first thing she saw was the movement of Deric's hands, which were focused on rowing. Her gaze shifted to Deric's muscular arms and shoulders as he paddled the canoe. Deric had been paddling this canoe for quite some time, but Caraline saw no sign of fatigue. [If you can't walk with your legs, you just have to try to walk with your arms. Lack doesn't mean you have to give up]Caraline suddenly remembered Deric's words the other day. It was possible that what he had just said was directed at his condition. There

Deric stiffened when the brief kiss landed on his cheek. His eyes rounded in disbelief. The man never thought that Caraline would kiss him, a gift that never even crossed his mind.Deric soon smiled. His frozen body gradually returned to normal. "Thank you."Caraline slowly opened her eyes. Her body instantly froze when she realized that she was once again in the crook of Deric's neck. Her tension melted away as a blush graced her cheeks. Slowly, the woman looked to the side, and the first thing she saw was Deric and his charming smile.Caraline reflexively pulled back. She looked at Deric with an incredulous gaze. Her heart was filled with an unfamiliar, yet strangely comforting feeling. On the other hand, her lips trembled as if she wanted to say a series of sentences. Her breathing was suddenly racing rapidly."I-I... I'm ...." Caraline felt as if her body was about to melt away like a syrupy solution. Nonetheless, there was a relief she felt, as if the burden that was clogging her

Helen was pacing back and forth in her office. The bespectacled woman occasionally glanced at her watch and cell phone screen. It was almost eleven am, but there was no sign that Caraline was coming."Did something happen to her?" Helen opened the window to the room, drawing in oxygen greedily. She hoped the fresh air would relieve some of the tension.Helen contacted Caraline for the umpteenth time. Neither her calls nor her texts were responded to. This was highly unusual. If anything had happened, Caraline would have contacted her immediately.Helen was not deterred. She tried calling Caraline's home phone number. However, the call was not connected at all. "I have a feeling that something is going on with Miss Caraline."Helen decided to sit down in her work chair, taking a sip of hot tea to calm her nerves a little. Her fingers drummed on the table, debating whether to go to Caraline's residence immediately or stay in the office for a while longer."I'll wait about ten minutes,"

Caraline blinked slowly. When she opened her eyes, the woman felt her head grow dizzy. Her vision seemed to blur as she scanned her surroundings. She changed to a sitting position as she massaged her forehead. "What is happening to me?" "Miss Caraline," called three maids in unison. Their gazes held obvious concern.Caraline scanned the room again. In addition to the maids standing at the bedside, she also saw a woman in a white coat coming out of the room."What's happening to me?" repeated Caraline as one by one her consciousness came back together. Her hand began to descend to her brow and cheek and then stopped at her lips. The footage of the kiss suddenly returned.Caraline stiffened. Her eyes opened wide like they were going to jump out. She hoped that the kiss was just a bad dream. However, when she realized that the clothes she was wearing were the same ones she had worn when she met Deric, she immediately dropped back down."Miss Caraline!" the maids chanted as they approach

Jeremy, Jonathan, and James looked tense as they followed a bodyguard to the edge of the park. The crashing of the waves was a musical accompaniment to their racing hearts. The three men suddenly fell silent when they saw Deric with his back to them near the fence. Shortly afterward, the bodyguard chose to excuse himself. For a few seconds, there was only silence between the four men. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James exchanged glances with each other, confused as to what action they should take at this point. Should they say goodbye? Deric slowly turned around, smiling to greet his three half-brothers. He walked over, but Jeremy, Jonathan, and James did not move from their places or even turn their heads towards him. "I've been waiting for your arrival," Deric said. Jeremy, Jonathan, and James had not paid any attention to Deric's words. Their faces had not completely lifted either. "Didn't you miss me a lot, James?" asked Deric, "you even called me and sent me messages almost every da

All eyes were on Deric who had just recognized himself as the presiden of the number one company in the country. The atmosphere of the event was instantly silent, as were the people watching the news on television channels and the internet. Shortly afterward, the adoring admiration was met with thunderous applause."Oh my," said Helen, "isn't that Mr. Deric? How could this be possible? He can walk on both feet and right now he's in front of us."Helen turned to Caraline who was looking down with a smile on her face. When she realized something, Helen quickly controlled herself. She knew the reason behind Caraline's change over the past two weeks."Miss Caraline," Helen called with a bright smile. Despite the crack in her heart, she was happy to see Caraline now.Caraline was silent and didn't dare to raise her head at the moment. The praise and admiration directed at Deric made her even more terrified of losing him.On the other side, Diego and Wilson were watching the show on the scr

A week passed after Caraline met with Deric on the rooftop of the building. However, her happy smile never faded. Helen, Stevan, and the rest of the maids and guards couldn't understand her attitude.

Many famous officials and businessmen attended the event, including Henry Hulbert.Caraline couldn't sit still while watching Henry Hulbert perform on stage. Her eyes were often drawn to the surroundings. There was a good chance that Deric was also at this event, she thought.Caraline hadn't received any messages from Deric all week. She also deliberately did not contact him. If longing had been excruciating in the past, this longing had only intensified the love."Do you need something?" asked Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's chair."Nothing." Caraline shook her head, turni

Caraline and Deric looked at each other for some time, lost in their feelings. The lights around the rooftop seemed to change color as time passed."I'm just afraid that you'll lose consciousness like last time," Deric said suddenly."What do you mean?" asked Caraline with flushed cheeks."You know, you suddenly passed out when we were about to do... 'it' in your room." Deric laughed, gently stroking Caraline's hair."Passed out?" Caraline raised one eyebrow. "Didn't we ever do that?""Not at all," Deric said, "you seemed to be so nervous that you passed out, especially since you didn't stop smiling during your sleep."Caraline suddenly turned her back on Deric, closing her eyes with a very red face. She was embarrassed when she heard that. So, all this time she had only dreamed about doing 'that' with Deric. "Don't talk to me anymore. I hate you.""I know if your heart says otherwise." Deric stood beside Caraline."No, I'm serious." Caraline turned her gaze to the other side. "You ar

Caraline's whole body shook even more when she saw Deric standing in front of her. She dropped her cell phone because she couldn't contain her shock. For a few moments, she could only hold her breath with an unblinking gaze.Caraline felt shocked on top of the shock. She had wanted Deric to walk again, but when she saw it firsthand, Caraline was left stunned and unable to do anything. Her lips half opened, but quickly closed again.Didn't Deric look perfect with his current appearance?Caraline pinched her left arm hard. She felt a great pain there. It signaled that she was in the real world. However, Caraline still felt lost in dreamland. Deric, who she thought was a man who had lost his dreams, was the mysterious figure that people wanted to know about. Deric was none other than the richest man in the country.Doesn't Deric look perfect in his current position?Caraline looked back as her feet hit the rooftop barrier. She was at the edge of the room and there was no turning back. Fo

All the images of her time with Deric instantly faded away, making her body almost collapse on the floor. Tears were rolling down her cheeks relentlessly.Caraline knew that she missed Deric more than anything. However, when he was in front of her right now, she could only stand still without being able to get closer or even hug him tightly.Time seemed to stop for Caraline. All the scenery around her suddenly turned black and white, except for Deric alone.
