"What?" Yuna couldn't believe what she just heard. "That's impossible. Mr. Morgan and Yvan don't even look the same. Even their eyes are different. How could they be the same person?" "Yuna, did you see the wound on Yvan's right palm?" Now that Yuna thought about it, she finally remembered. She was worried about Yvan's safety, so she wasn't bothered by the wound at all. "Besides, do you remember how Yvan had his face bandaged when you met him?" Yuna then realized that too. "Also, didn't you see me at the building too?" Embarrassed, Terry said, "That was really me. I nearly got scolded by Mr. Jenkins because you almost caught me." After hearing that, Yuna couldn't process the information anymore. Gabriel continued to explain, "Yvan wanted to change his identity and take care of you, be near you. So, he asked Lucian to change his face temporarily. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lucian." Yuna became quiet. She then recalled everything that happened when she was wit
Lucian comforted her. "This is the best I can do as a doctor. We're using the best medicine and state-of-the-art medical equipment on him. After this, it's all up to him. If he gets through this, it would be fine." "Isn't there any other way to save him? What if we agitate him?" Yuna teared up. "What if you try talking to him then? For example, you can talk about things like who you are dating or marrying just to agitate him. Perhaps he'll wake up." After hearing that, Yuna became tense. "Can … can I talk about those things?" "Those are what he cares about the most. Wouldn't he be agitated if you're the one who tells him that?" Lucian said. Wiping her tears away, she glanced at Yvan. "Are you sure?" "Would I tell you to do that if I'm not sure?" Lucian patted her on her shoulder. He added, "What Yvan hates hearing the most is news of you with other men. If not, he wouldn't have borne the risk of getting plastic surgery just to see you." Yuna believed him. "I'll try it
Nathaniel and Natalie actually already knew about what happened. They also knew that Yvan was in a coma because he saved Yuna. Natalie asked, "Is Daddy suffering from serious injuries?" "Yeah, he is. He has been unconscious for four days," Yuna replied truthfully. "That's long! Would Daddy wake up if we call him Daddy then?" Natalie asked. "I don't know. But we can try." After that, Yuna looked at Nathaniel. Nathaniel didn't meet her gaze but said, "I'll do it for your sake, Mommy." Hearing that, Yuna caressed his face in joy. When they arrived at the hospital, Yuna brought the kids to see Master Eastin first. The moment the kids saw him, they jumped into his arms happily. Looking at them, Master Eastin had a warm smile on his face too. "Have you been missing me?" "Of course, we miss you a lot," Natalie said. "Grandpa Eastin, is your work done now? Does that mean you can head back to Phoenix City?" "That's right. I can even play with you two by then," Master Eas
Yuna got up and stood beside the floor-length window before answering the call. "How is Yvan's condition now? I heard from Harry that Kiara is really worried since she couldn't get in touch with him at all these days," Sherry said. "It might be hard for Harry to convince her any longer." "Yvan's condition became better today. But I'm afraid we still need some time before he could wake up. Ask Harry to hang in there. I'll discuss it with Dr. Storm and the others later to see if there's any other way." Sherry said, "Alright. Yuna, are you okay?" "Me? I'm alright." "I'm talking about things between you and Yvan." "What about it?" "When Yvan wakes up, are you planning to make things clear to him? So are you guy—" "That'd be something to think about after he wakes up. There's no use talking about it now." "What if he really doesn't wake up?" Sherry asked curiously. "You know, what if." "There's nothing we can do if he doesn't wake up." Yuna continued, "But I think he'll
"I remember that you've been talking to me all this while." Yvan stared at her. "Who are you going to marry?" "No one." "You repeated that so many times to me and even asked for my blessings. Don't I deserve to know who that man is?" Yvan said slowly. "After I tell you, what are you going to do to my partner?" "Kidnap him and lock him up," Yvan said. Leaning against the chair, Yuna couldn't help but laugh. She said, "All the more reason to not tell you." Looking at the expression on her face, he lifted his hand. "Come here." "Can't we just talk like this?" "I'm worried I won't have the energy to speak later. Come closer." Yuna knew how weak he was now. She went closer. Suddenly, Yvan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "Are you mad? You're injured." Yvan couldn't be bothered. "You can't marry someone else." "So?" "Sorry, Yuna. It was all my fault for everything that happened in the past. It wouldn't be fair to ask for forgiveness. But I really don
After that, Yuna and the kids had been accompanying Yvan in the hospital for rehab. At the same time, Master Eastin was discharged. "Are you planning to bring Natalie and Nathaniel to Jefton State after he recovers?" Master Eastin asked. "Yeah, I'll deal with the last bit of things here. I'll still head back to Phoenix City after that," Yuna explained. "I can't just leave my work at the research center behind." "Since you've made up with that brat, you should think about what's going to happen next. Don't rush things just so you can return to the research center and work," Master Eastin said with a smile. "Those are two different matters." With a determined look, she said, "It's impossible for me to give up on my career because of anyone." Satisfied, Master Eastin nodded. "That's what we're talking about." Yuna smiled a little and said, "Master Eastim, do you really have to go back to Phoenix City now?" "I left a bunch of problems behind when I was taken away. I have to
After half a month, they boarded the flight back to Jefton State. All this while, Yvan and the kids had been getting along. Their relationship seemed like one between normal families. The kids watched as their parents sat closely with each other. They then turned their heads away. Natalie asked with a soft voice, "Nathaniel, are you planning to let Daddy know about how you've taken so much of his money back then?" Crossing his arms, Nathaniel said, "He's rich anyway. He doesn't have to be bothered by the amount of money that I took him for." Giggling, Natalie said, "You don't dare to tell him, do you?" Nathaniel kept his chin up and said, "There's nothing I should be afraid of." "Don't worry. I'll side with you. If Daddy bullies Mommy again, you should steal tens of billions of money from him." "Smart girl." …Finally, they arrived at Jefton State. Harry and the others had been waiting for them at the airport. When they saw Yuna and the kids coming out, Sherry and
In the Jenkins Residence study, Jacob was tied onto a chair after being brought there from abroad. Facing Arthur, who was standing across from him, he had no trace of fear or guilt. Instead, there was only resentment. He looked as if he wished he could murder Arthur now. Sneering, he said, "Now that your children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren are here, you're probably over the moon, Father." Arthur had a serious look as he stared at Jacob. Walking toward him, Arthur sent a few slaps across his face. "You useless piece of trash. How dare you speak to me like that?" Bending his head, Jacob howled, "Why can't I say that? You're the one who abandoned me back then, weren't you?" Impatient, Arthur said, "Ask yourself if I was the one who abandoned you or if you chose to leave us!" Jacob continued to yell, "Wasn't it you who sided with Felix back then? If not, would I have wanted to leave?" Arthur was so mad that he clutched his chest and panted. Pointing at Jac
