Nicholas's POV

I tried to remember all the beautiful moments we shared, the laughter and happiness we once had. Yet, the haunting image of her pale, helpless face on that bed continued to torment me. My desire to protect her, to erase all her pain, grew stronger.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm myself. "She is strong," I whispered repeatedly. "She will get through this."

I took a shaky step back. Suddenly, my legs felt weak, and I collapsed into the nearest chair. My head hung low, my hands gripping my hair, trying to contain the torrent of emotions surging within me.

Fear crawled into every corner of my mind. What if she didn't come out of that room? What if this was the last time I saw her? The thought of losing Sabrina haunted me, tightening my chest. Every second felt like an increasing weight, and I struggled to remain calm.

I wanted to scream, but my voice was trapped in my throat. In the silence of the waiting room, all I co

    Nicholas's POV I took a deep breath, then stood up reluctantly. I glanced at the operating room door one last time before stepping out. I made sure my phone number was active to receive news from the hospital. If anything happened, I wanted to know as soon as possible.With steady steps, I headed towards the hospital exit. Each step towards Hazel's apartment felt heavy, but I knew this was an important move. Charlie needed attention and love, and I couldn't let him feel neglected amidst all this. He had already been shaken enough.After a few minutes of driving, I arrived at Hazel's apartment. I pressed the doorbell and stood waiting, feeling a bit anxious. Footsteps sounded from within, and then the door opened. Hazel stood there, wearing a gray sweater with her hair tied up casually. She looked at me with a flat expression, but there was a flicker of emotion in her eyes that was hard to decipher."How are you?" she asked briefly, clearly still upset

    Nicholas's POV I took a deep breath, trying to find simple yet honest words to explain. “Mommy Sabrina is at the hospital, sweetheart. She is undergoing surgery so she can come home and play with Charlie again.”Charlie’s eyes widened; clearly, he didn’t fully understand. “Surgery? What’s wrong with Mommy Sabrina?”I swallowed hard; it was difficult for me to give a more detailed explanation to such a young child. “Mommy Sabrina is sick, but the doctors are trying to help her get better. So, right now, Charlie should pray, okay? So Mommy Sabrina can heal faster and come home.”Charlie nodded slightly, though he still seemed confused. He grasped my hand tightly. “Charlie misses Mommy Sabrina. Charlie wants Mommy Sabrina to come home now…”A heavy feeling hit my chest. I gently squeezed his hand, trying to provide a sense of calm that I felt was insufficient. “Daddy misses Mommy Sabrina too, sweetheart. But we have to be patient, okay? If

    Nicholas's POVIn the cold, sterile waiting room, the atmosphere was filled with a suffocating silence. Only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard, filling the frozen void of time. Every second felt like a year, and each minute became a long, exhausting journey.I stared at the white walls, trying to find something to divert my thoughts. However, my mind kept returning to Sabrina, to her cheerful face and warm smile. Memories flooded back of the times we laughed together, the beautiful moments before everything changed. As the doctor explained the procedures that needed to be followed, fear began to creep into my heart.The pain she was experiencing was now replaced by uncertainty. This surgery was not just about the physical aspect; it was about the hopes and dreams that were at stake. Would everything go smoothly? Would she return to her former self? These questions spun in my mind, adding weight to my chest.In one corner of the room, a

    Nicholas's POV The first procedure was successful, but the journey ahead is still long. The thought of Sabrina being weak and needing further monitoring makes me anxious. How I wish to be by her side, providing the support and love she needs.The surgery went well. That should be good news, but for some reason, the relief doesn't come entirely. Uncertainty still shrouds my mind, making me feel trapped between hope and fear."Does this mean she will... be okay?" I ask hesitantly, my voice trembling as I say those words.The doctor nods, but his expression shows caution. "We've done our best, but everything depends on Sabrina's recovery process. We need to see how her body responds in the coming days," the doctor replies carefully.That answer stirs a deeper anxiety. Even though the surgery was successful, the future remains full of uncertainty. I feel as if I am at the edge of a cliff, waiting to see if the next step will lead me toward s

Thoughts of her give me strength, even as anxiety lingers.With each passing second, I pray that she feels my presence, even though we are separated by space and time.

    Nicholas's POV Time felt like it stopped in that room. I didn't know how long I sat there, just staring at her sleeping face. I felt like there was a huge wall separating us—a wall that only she could break if she chose to come back. I knew I couldn't force her, but I hoped, prayed, begged that she would keep fighting.A nurse came in, checking the medical equipment around Sabrina. She looked at me kindly. "Mr. Nicholas, you can stay a few more minutes. But after that, we need to continue monitoring."I nodded slightly, not wanting to make a fuss. I knew they only wanted what was best for Sabrina. I stood, taking one last look at her face before leaving. "I will be back," I whispered softly, as if giving her a definite promise.As I walked out, I glanced back at her one more time, hoping for a miracle that would make her open her eyes. But she remained silent, lying in a tranquility that made my heart feel heavier. I could only hop

    Nicholas's POVThe three of us walked toward the hospital parking area. The fresh morning air slightly helped ease my fatigue. After a few steps, Hazel stopped and turned to me."Your car is still here, right?" she asked."Yes, it is. Wait a moment," I replied as I walked faster toward my car parked not far from there.When we reached the car, I opened the back door for Charlie. He jumped in immediately with his little enthusiasm, his tail wagging with excitement. Watching him run cheerfully made me smile, as if he brought a bit of joy into the heavy atmosphere.Once everyone was inside, I started the engine and adjusted the air conditioning. The vibrating sound of the engine seemed to erase the silence that weighed on our minds. During the drive, we passed familiar streets, but today felt different.Hazel glanced at my car for a moment before finally sitting in the front seat. "You really need to check the condition of this car,

    Nicholas's POV That day, the office felt noisier than usual, or maybe it was just my overly sensitive feelings. The sounds of conversations and laughter from my coworkers echoed in my ears, creating a lively atmosphere that was hard to ignore.I sat in the large meeting room with several investors discussing the latest project proposal. In front of me, the projector displayed slides filled with numbers, statistics, and graphs. However, my head felt heavy, and my thoughts were far from all those figures. Every time someone asked a question or gave an opinion, I could only smile while trying to absorb the information, but my heart was not in that place.Worries about Sabrina and her condition in the hospital haunted me. In my mind, I pictured her weak smile and the hope resting on the care she was receiving. Every time the investors spoke, I reminded myself that this was part of my responsibility, but guilt always crept in.I stared at the screen,

    Sabrina's POV I had just arrived home after dropping Charlie off at school. As I opened the door, the gentle aroma of the empty house welcomed me. I placed my bag and keys on the small table near the entrance, taking a deep breath in an attempt to dispel the heavy silence that felt more oppressive today.Every corner of this house reminded me of the beautiful moments we had shared together. However, now everything felt empty without Nicholas's presence. I walked slowly into the living room, feeling the stillness envelop me.Sitting on the sofa, I reflected on how my days were always filled with noise and laughter. Now, everything seemed to have come to a halt. I picked up my phone and checked the screen, hoping for a message from him, but there was none.“I can get through this,” I whispered, trying to calm myself. Maybe I could do something to fill the time, something that would make me feel better. I got up and headed to the kitchen, intending to pr

    Sabrina's POV Charlie looked proud to hear that. He puffed out his little chest, making me smile even more.When we arrived home, I helped Charlie take off his shoes on the porch. We went inside, and the aroma of chicken soup wafting from the kitchen immediately filled our noses.Charlie sniffed the air and exclaimed, “Wow, your cooking smells amazing, Mom!”I ruffled his hair gently. “Let’s wash our hands first, then we can eat.”We went to the bathroom, washing our hands together while laughing as Charlie played with soap bubbles. After that, we sat at the dining table. I poured warm soup into Charlie’s bowl, arranging it with cute-shaped vegetables, star-shaped carrots, and heart-shaped potatoes to make him more excited to eat.As the first spoonful entered his mouth, his eyes widened. “It’s so good, Mom!”I laughed. “You like it?”He nodded quickly. “Yes! Daddy has to try this later!”I held my breath f

    Sabrina's POV I tried to focus on the road, but the image of his face kept haunting me. I imagined how he was doing now, in London, facing heavy challenges. “Is he okay? Does he feel alone?” I asked myself.Every question haunted my mind, but I knew I had to be strong. For Charlie, for Nicholas, and for myself.Upon arriving home, I walked slowly to the living room, sat on the sofa, and reached for a small photo album lying on the table. I hadn’t opened the album in a long time, but today, for some reason, I wanted to see the smiles captured by the camera.The first thing I saw was a photo of Charlie as a toddler, hugged by Nicholas while smiling brightly. His little face full of happiness reminded me of those simple times. It felt like just yesterday when he was learning to walk, and Nicholas was always there to catch him whenever he fell.I continued to the photo from Charlie's first birthday. Nicholas and I stood in the background, ou

    Sabrina's POVThis morning felt a bit quieter. There was no sound of Nicholas's footsteps usually heard from the bathroom to the kitchen, no sleepy smile as he pulled out a chair for breakfast. It was the second day without his presence, and I was still trying to adjust.Every corner of this house felt empty, as if everything had lost its color. I sat at the dining table, staring at the empty plate in front of me. The aroma of coffee that usually warmed the atmosphere now only reminded me of his absence. I tried to distract myself by reading a book, but the words on the pages felt flat and meaningless.I remembered the little moments with him—how he would often tease me when I was too serious, or how he always remembered little details about me. Without him, my days seemed dull and monotonous.Taking a deep breath, I stood up from the table. Maybe I needed to go out and get some fresh air. But before that, I glanced at our photo on the wall.

    Nicholas’s POV Leaning back in the car seat, I took a deep breath. I knew this journey was not just about saving the project, but also about saving trust—trust from clients, trust from my family, and perhaps, my own trust in the people I had once considered important.I opened my phone again, staring at the wallpaper photo, me, Sabrina, and Charlie in the park last week. They were the reason I had to resolve all of this. I couldn’t fail.“I’ll be home soon,” I whispered to the screen now displaying the digital boarding pass. “For you.”The plane was set to take off in one hour, and I was already sitting in the airport waiting lounge, alone with my endlessly spinning thoughts. My laptop was on my lap, but not a single email I read truly registered in my mind. I just stared at the blank screen while my thoughts returned to one point—Hazel.Why did she do it? What was her motivation? I knew she loved Charlie. But this… this wasn’

    Nicholas’s POV I suddenly sank back in my chair. My body felt stiff, and my head felt like it had been hit with a blunt object. The project with Mr. Harrington wasn’t just any project; it was a long-term strategic partnership that would expand our business network into Europe. Everything was almost finalized. And now, canceled?I squeezed my temples with both hands. The missing report, Hazel avoiding me, and now this. Everything felt clearer. But there was no time to get caught up in anger or shock.I had to move quickly. With my mind starting to focus, I reopened my laptop and began checking all the data related to the project. If there were discrepancies, I needed to find them before Mr. Harrington made his final decision.One thing was certain: I couldn’t let this end like this. I had to find Hazel, get an explanation from her, and perhaps—just perhaps—find a way to save this project.“Book the fastest flight to London for today!” I c

    Nicholas’s POV I had been holding my phone for five minutes, staring at the screen with Hazel's name clearly displayed. Anger bubbled inside me, but there was also deep disappointment. Even so, I knew I couldn’t resolve this with just emotions. I needed clarity. I needed direct answers from her.So, with a deep breath, I pressed the green button and brought the phone to my ear. But she didn’t answer.Seconds ticked by, feeling more and more tense. I tried calling again, but the result was the same. The courage I had built up began to fade, replaced by anxiety and frustration.What should I do now? If she was indeed involved, maybe she already knew I was suspicious. With each passing second, negative thoughts gnawed at me.The ringing tone continued until I finally heard her voice on the other end. “Hello?” “Hazel, it’s Nicholas.” There was a brief silence, then I heard her usual tone. “Oh… why are you calling

    Nicholas’s POV My heart began to race. This wasn’t just an ordinary document. Inside were details of the monthly report, fund allocation strategies, and financing plans for new projects. Everything was sensitive.I stood and walked to the shelf in the corner of the room, checking the extra folders I sometimes used to store copies. Still nothing. “Strange…” I muttered as I sat back down and rubbed my temples.My mind drifted to many things. I hadn’t opened that document yesterday. So who did? My secretary was always meticulous and wouldn’t randomly move important documents without my knowledge. And the only person in my office yesterday was Hazel.I shook my head quickly, trying to dismiss the suspicion that arose. But my mind was starting to be clouded with discomfort. I rarely made mistakes with paperwork, especially something so crucial.Quickly, I pressed the intercom button. “Please come to my office now.” “Sure, sir.”

With each passing second, I was determined to give my best for our family.Charlie began to tell stories about his friends at school, his cheerful voice filling the car. I tried to listen, although my thoughts still wandered to heavier matters. However, seeing his smile made me feel a little better.“Papa, look! There’s a dog!” he suddenly exclaimed, pulling my attention back to the road.I smiled, trying to engage in his excitement. “Yeah, champ! The dog is cute, isn’t it?”As soon as the car stopped right in front of the school gate, Charlie eagerly unbuckled his seatbelt. “Charlie’s off to school now, Papa!” he exclaimed as he reached for his bag in the back seat. I turned to him and placed a hand on his shoulder for a moment. “Wait a second.” Charlie stopped and looked at
