Part 58"Why?" The grandfather asked with emphasis. There was disappointment in his face."I want to accompany Uncle Joe, he's still unconscious, I need to stay here," Clara replied. She lowered her head. Honestly, she didn't want to disappoint Grandpa Lim. It's just that her worry for Joe Sebastian dominated more."Alright, if that's what you want, I won't stop you," the middle-aged man replied."Thank you, Grandpa!""But Zio will always be with you, and... you have to study in England, I'll take care of it."Before Clara could respond, Mr. Lim got up from his seat, glanced briefly at Clara, then walked out of the hospital.This morning, Freedy Lim flew to Singapore without taking Clara.==❤==In the evening, Clara entered Joe's room. She walked slowly until she reached the side of the bed of the man she loved."Uncle."Clara called softly. She observed Joe's face. The man was still unconscious.

Part 60.Clara invited Nadia to meet at a restaurant not far from the hospital. She walked in, while Zio, who had always accompanied her everywhere, chose to give her privacy this time.Clara chose a table at the far end. She ordered two soursop juices. While waiting for Nadia, Clara opened her phone and checked today's news. Most of it was about Vivian, who was involved in her kidnapping case.Clara sighed in annoyance. That woman ruined her career aspirations. On one hand, Clara didn't like her because she almost got assaulted. However, on the other hand, she felt sorry for her because she was Kimmy's mother."Have you been waiting long?" Nadia asked. She sat down opposite Clara. Since the unfortunate incident, they were meeting for the second time this afternoon."Just a bit!" Clara replied. She pulled the corners of her lips into a smile in response to Nadia's."How is Uncle Joe doing?" From Clara's frustrated expression, Nadia could guess that the handsome man Clara loved was sti

Part 61The sound of the ventilator filled the room. The digital clock in the ICU showed 9:50 PM WIB. The hospital was quiet, with only the night shift nurse checking on the patient.The door opened. Doctor Gaston deliberately went to the ICU room before going home."Go home, Clara. Let me take care of Joe tonight!" Doctor Gaston requested.Seeing Clara's sadness, the man truly felt sorry. However, he still couldn't do anything."Aren't you...?" his words trailed off as he noticed Clara had fallen asleep. One of her hands tightly grasped Joe's fingers, while the other supported her face. Both her eyes were closed, and her breathing was steady. It meant Clara had truly fallen asleep."Stubborn!" The doctor muttered to himself.Removing his white coat, the doctor draped it over Clara's shoulders.Actually, Doctor Gaston liked Clara. However, he couldn't do much. What mattered most was her happiness and future."Alright, Clara, I'll go home now!" the doctor bid farewell, even though he k

62.Flashback on.That night, three days after Clara's return to Singapore, Antoni and Gaston were in the ICU. Alternating with Mr. Bond, Joe Sebastian's secretary, stayed overnight to take care of his boss. "How's the company doing?" asked Gaston, turning to Antoni. His hair looked wet and fresh, in stark contrast to his disheveled appearance and tired eyes. "It's going smoothly, but there are some companies that didn't renew their contracts," he replied. Both of their eyes were focused on Joe's body. A man who usually appeared so enthusiastic, now weak and helpless. "When will Mr. Joe recover?" Antoni asked. He had asked the doctor the same question several times, and the answer was always the same. "I don't know, we just have to pray for the best for him." Honestly, Doctor Gaston was also tired of answering the same question. Not just from Antoni, but also from Clara, Mrs. Linn, and Mr. Bond. They all asked the same thing: when will Joe wake up? He himself wondered when his frie

63.The ticking of the clock in Clara's room was agonizingly slow. Standing while gazing at the city's beauty from her room tonight did little to ease the unease in her heart.Remembering that Mrs. Linn and Doctor Gaston hadn't responded to her messages for almost a week made Clara wonder what was really going on. Initially, Clara thought that the two of them were just busy. But the photos sent by Nadia made Clara suspicious.Clara got up from her seat. She left the room and immediately sought out her grandfather."Where's Grandpa?" Clara asked the maid."Mr. Lim is in his room, Miss," the woman replied.Clara walked towards her grandfather's room, which was next to Aunt Margaret's room.Knock.Knock.Knock.Clara gently knocked on the door."Grandpa," Clara called out.After a moment, the door opened, revealing the middle-aged man standing before her."What is it, Clara?"Freedy Lim observed his granddaughter's face. There was a restlessness there. Clara's eyebrows furrowed, and her

Part 64."Nad, something's not right!" Clara exclaimed."What do you mean?" Nadia asked.In the afternoon, she purposely skipped her last class to meet Clara."Dr. Gaston and Uncle Joe seem to agree to hide something from me!" Clara said, lowering her head as she sipped her cold juice."What are they hiding?" Nadia inquired."Uncle Joe has amnesia, but I'm sure it's impossible! There must be something he's hiding!" Clara explained."What if he really has amnesia?" Nadia suggested another possibility, considering the gunshot wound on Joe's temple."Maybe, I just need to know what really happened!" Clara lowered her head, knowing that no one in Joe's residence would tell her the truth."When will you go home?" Nadia asked."I'll stay for two nights, then head to London!" Clara replied."Alright, I suggest that during your two days and two nights in Jakarta, you should stay at Uncle Joe's house. Maybe the parents, servants, driver, and gardener will keep silent! But, did you forget? Clar

Clara's eyes focused on her phone screen, feeling frustrated and unsure who to contact.She continued to move her thumb, scrolling through her phone, and found Dr. Gaston's number.The call connected."Hello," greeted Dr. Gaston on the other end."Hello, doctor, it's me, Clara!" she said."What's up, Clara?" Dr. Gaston asked."Uncle Joe invited someone for dinner, can Dr. Gaston also come here? I need Dr. Gaston's help," Clara asked hopefully. She wasn't sure if her plan would succeed, but there was no harm in trying."So tonight, I come to Joe's house?" the doctor confirmed."Yes.""What can I help you with, Clara?""Dr. Gaston's presence!" Clara replied."Alright, what time should I come?""Just a moment, I'll ask Uncle Joe, then I'll let you know, the journey from the hospital to here is only half an hour!" Clara replied, looking at the wall clock showing it was almost half past four in the afternoon."O
