Sebastian had interrogated all the guards who had regained consciousness after their fainting spells. He even pressured Sofia relentlessly for information.

Question after question was fired, and piece after piece of information was gathered.

Sebastian got a sense of the kidnapper and a lead on where they might have taken his daughter. He was unrelenting in his questioning, pushing the guards to recall every nightmare they had been through.

"Get ready! We're going to fetch Nora as soon as possible!" Sebastian declared.

    Tuan Lim was under severe stress. He had rented the largest room in the house for the care of his mother and his daughter, Nora. Sebastian intentionally placed them in the same room, to ensure that both were cared for side by side, even though their beds were separated. He positioned Nora on the right side and covered her with a sheet, while Herlinda lay on the left side, also under the sheet. There was a space between Nora's area and Herlinda's.In that space, there was a sofa and a table where Sebastian occasionally sank into to find a moment of rest and relief.Sebastian Lim leaned back wearily, exhausted from caring for two patients at once.

    Three months later."Hurry out of your room! Don't hide all the time! Do I need to drag you out with this old body?" scolded the middle-aged man standing at the door.The man took a puff from his cigar, the thick white smoke billowing out. Since the doctor had declared him recovered and healthy, he had returned to his old habits of smoking cigars and savoring quality wine produced by his own factory. It seemed like he had forgotten that just a month ago, he had been on the brink of death due to his illness."Unless Dad quits smoking and drinking alcohol, I won't come out of my room!""Fine! This is the last cigar, and you can rest assured I won't smoke in front of you anymore! Now, hurry up and get dressed nicely! Don't make me wait any longer!""Yes, yes!"Tera closed her bedroom door.

    Tera was truly restless. She felt like she was being watched by a pair of eyes that she couldn't detect their origin or presence. Every time she looked around, she couldn't find anyone who might be observing her.So, rather than being perplexed and anxious, she decided it would be better to step out and get some fresh air to clear her mind. Maybe it was just her anxiety acting up. After months of isolating herself from all forms of social interaction, it had taken a toll on Tera's social life. She felt uncomfortable in crowds. Her interactions with various people from the jet-set crowd seemed shallow and obligatory. Tera felt out of place at this party, always avoiding in-depth conversations with those trying to get to know her.Although if she recalled, Tera used to be a former personal assistant to a major conglomerate. She was supposed to be comfortable communicating and networking within these circles. She used to be skilled at lobbying and seeking potential business contacts for

Tera asked, trying to ignore her boss's uneasiness."Yes, but not for a few more days. Mam is busy handling business in Indonesia.""In that case, may I leave earlier from this holiday?""What do you mean?""This is the year-end vacation I've been looking forward to all year.

    "For someone who's not fighting for anything, you also don't have the right to question me!" Sebastian replied."Are we going to continue like this? Arguing and fighting! Are you tired? I am exhausted. It's sickening to keep arguing with you!""If you're feeling sick, then I'm nauseated! I'm sick of your attitude!" Sebastian growled."Seb, what's wrong with you? Are you the same Sebastian I met yesterday, or are you a disguised ghost?""Cut the crap, Tera! Answer honestly, who's in your womb!" Sebastian didn't accept any nonsense and attacked her with a loud voice.Tera was stunned. She didn't expect Sebastian to respond so harshly."Seb..." Tera whispered."Don't cry! I don't want to see tears today! No more melodrama or nonsense! I just want an honest answer. Whose child is it, Tera? Is the child mine?"A teardrop rolled down the corner of Tera's eye.

    "this is it?" Sebastian murmured. His voice was weak. He lowered his head, avoiding Tera's gaze. She nodded softly, "Yes, this is it." She replied softly."Goodbye, Tera." Sebastian said without looking at the woman."Seb," Tera replied in kind.He turned away, his shoulders slumped, and his body language defeated.Tera stood there, motionless in front of her cabin. In the hallway, without looking back, she leaned against the wall for support. Her face was wet from the flowing tears.

    Was last night's affair so terrible that it made Sebastian turn so cold, indifferent, and arrogant towards me? Question after question swirled in Tera's mind. The Sebastian Lim she met at the party last night was entirely different from the Sebastian Lim who had barged into her room and the one she encountered this morning. The Sebastian Lim at the party had been vulnerable, openly sharing his feelings and even expressing concerns about infertility and the condition of his heart. But when he forced her last night, he reverted to the Sebastian Lim Tera had known. And now, this morning?Yes, indeed. This morning, Sebastian became even colder and more indifferent.
