After the meeting with Vivian, Darwin continued to look agitated. He was worried that what he had done earlier would be known to Veronica and cause her anger or misunderstandings.
That's why, when he returned home, Darwin hurried to approach his wife, intending to tell her what had happened.
However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he found Veronica already lying on the bed, covered with a blanket that concealed her entire body. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, and it was unusual for her to fall asleep so early.
"Darling..." Darwin called out as he approached the bed. When he sat down on the edge of the bed, he reached out with his hand, intending to caress Veronica's hair and cheek alternately.
But as soon as his fingers touched her skin, Darwin realized something was wrong. Veronica's body felt warmer than usual. When she opened her eyes, she looked quite weak, like someone who was unwe
Vivian hung her head in despair. Beside her lay Lily, still unconscious in the coma that had gripped her for days. After undergoing several procedures, the doctor finally decided to move Lily to the ICU room. This was done so that intensive care and monitoring could be focused on by the doctors and nursing team. "Doctor, why is my aunt like this? Why has she been unconscious for days?" Vivian was naturally anxious. Dark thoughts were swirling in her mind. Where could she have known that the accident Lily had suffered would have such fatal consequences, leaving her unconscious like this? "All of this is due to the severe impact the patient experienced, leading to a closed traumatic brain injury," the doctor explained gently to Vivian. "What do you mean by a closed brain injury, doc? I really don't understand, and I'm completely unfamiliar with this." The doctor then show
Making sure his wife had breakfast and took her medicine, Darwin asked Veronica to rest again."You should just keep resting. I need to finish some work in the next room."Veronica didn't immediately agree. She appeared puzzled, seeing her husband, instead of getting ready for work, choosing to go to the workspace next to their room."It's already nine o'clock, Win. Aren't you getting ready for work? You might be late."Darwin shook his head. Knowing that his wife wasn't feeling well, he decided to take a day off to stay home and take care of Veronica."I've decided to work from home today. Besides, there are no important meetings or appointments today.""Are you sure?"Darwin nodded repeatedly."Yes, dear. Besides, I can't bear to leave you alone at home in this condition.""But we have Renata he
"Is there something I need to do, Sir?"Currently, Deasy was in Damian's office. She had been deliberately called and asked to meet with the highest-ranking executive of the Vortex Group.Deasy thought that she had been called for an important task that needed her immediate attention. However, when she faced Damian and saw him in person, she had a feeling there was another reason why she had been summoned."Please have a seat; I want to ask you something about Darwin. This has nothing to do with work, so we can talk casually."Deasy nodded obediently. She took a few steps forward and seated herself directly in front of Damian."What issue does Mr. Damian want to discuss or ask about concerning Darwin?""It's about Darwin," Damian responded, his tone sounding cold. His gaze was difficult to decipher.Deasy, on the other hand, couldn't help
"Total of two days, Veronica took complete rest at home. During that time, Darwin appeared quite serious in taking care of her. He prepared breakfast, then came home briefly to accompany her for lunch. And as evening approached, he returned home earlier so they could have dinner together and then relax until it was time to rest. This morning, after making sure her condition had improved, Veronica decided to start being active again. Actually, Darwin still wanted his wife to rest at home for another day. But because Veronica seemed so bored already, he had no choice but to give her permission. "Actually, there isn't much work at the office either, dear. Why not just work tomorrow?" At the moment, they were both enjoying breakfast. Before heading out, Darwin once again tried to persuade Veronica to just stay home and rest. "I'm already feeling better. It's so boring staying at home all the time
After finishing her remaining work, Veronica hurried to her father's office. She didn't have any premonitions or bad thoughts at the time.Upon entering her father's office, Veronica acted as usual. She approached and hugged him briefly before starting the conversation."Why did you suddenly ask me to come here, Dad? Is what you want to talk about really serious?"Damian nodded. His expression remained flat. Perhaps he was still upset about remembering Darwin's bad behavior toward his daughter. He couldn't believe that Veronica had been treated so unfairly by her own choice."Take a seat," Damian ordered after a brief silence.Veronica complied and pulled a chair, sitting right in front of her father."What's going on, Dad?""I just want to ask, how is your relationship with Darwin?"Veronica was puzzled by her father
Perhaps, for some people, considering Darwin's change of heart from deeply loving Vivian to suddenly turning to Veronica may seem impulsive. Maybe many doubt how Darwin could easily leave Vivian, who had been a companion for years, for a new figure named Veronica Ashborne.What else can one do?Love is like that, sometimes. Often, it defies human logic. It can even leave the person experiencing it perplexed.Upon closer examination, some people find it difficult to forget or move on after years of being in a relationship. Others easily switch to a new love interest after finding someone who might be more comfortable and suitable than their previous partner.It's not uncommon for couples to date for years and then fail to reach the altar. On the contrary, there are other couples who meet and get married within a month, despite having just met. It's ironic, indeed.Who knows where
Deasy casually entered the Infinix Group building. Today, she had been assigned the task by Damian to pack up all of Veronica's belongings that were there.Before heading to Veronica's room, Deasy intentionally stopped by Sean's room first. Coincidentally, he had also been asked by Damian to pack up and return to the Vortex Group to continue his work there.Upon reaching her destination, Sean appeared to have already finished organizing his belongings. In fact, he may have already sent some of them back to his old room at the Vortex Group."Good morning, Mr. Galael."Sean immediately looked up. Turning to the source of the voice, instead of responding, he let out a loud sigh. He had never liked being called by just his last name. However, Deasy often did that."The room's owner isn't here," Sean casually replied, and he was greeted with Deasy's cheerful laughter.
After successfully bringing Veronica out of Darwin's residence, Damian finally decided to visit Magnus Walters's office. He believed that something important and crucial like this needed to be discussed and resolved with his friend.Fortunately, when he arrived, Magnus was present. Darwin Walters's father looked slightly surprised because Damian had come unexpectedly without giving him prior notice, as was usually the case."Am I interrupting your work hours?" Damian asked after being invited into Magnus's office.Magnus immediately invited Damian to take a seat on the sofa. Before starting their conversation, he even asked his secretary to prepare drinks and snacks. Of course, this was done to make their conversation more comfortable."No matter how busy or occupied I may be, if you come to visit and discuss something, I will always make time for you, Damian," Magnus said warmly and sincerely.
Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,
"Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r
Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come
After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev
"Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M
Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w
Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou
"I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o
Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
