Cap. 174: Annulled Marriage?"Dr. Johnson said he performed the surgery, even though the doctors can't identify the woman who actually did it. And you said you encountered her before all this happened, which means you got involved with the person who saved your son's life!" Oliver explained, his voice filled with accusation.Morgan huffed, crossing his arms. "How could I know who she was? And how dare she touch my son without my consent?""Are you upset because you promised your entire fortune, and she made it all seem so simple?" Oliver mocked, a cynical smile on his lips."It's not about that! But why hide then? She wouldn’t even look at me!""Can't you think of who it could be?" Oliver asked, a gleam in his eyes.Morgan furrowed his brow, thinking."Who do you think it is?""This woman... her height... this habit of hiding her face..." Oliver said calmly, observing Morgan’s reaction. Morgan’s eyes widened. "You’re not talking about Hanna, are you?""Impossible!" Morgan exclaimed, s
Cap. 175: Lie and TruthDavis smiled nervously, casting a quick glance at Rudan. He then sat down, straightened his posture, and searched for the right words. This moment was crucial, and he knew deceiving Morgan would be nearly impossible."What if... I told you Hanna was pregnant?" Davis ventured, his eyes fixed on Morgan, who leaned forward, showing interest."Tell me, is she or isn't she?" Morgan insisted."She was pregnant, but... she's not anymore." Davis looked away, his voice trembling."What do you mean?" Morgan asked, his expression hardening. Davis’s mind worked frantically, trying to find the exact words."I brought Hanna to the hospital. She wasn’t well, and... she faced that situation." Davis stammered, his voice shaking."What situation?" Morgan pressed."Do you remember when they tried to kill your son? That day, you were very close to Maya, and Hanna saw everything.""Hanna was in town?" Morgan asked, incredulous."Yes, I brought her. And when she saw you with Maya, s
Cap. 176: Until I Find YouGabriel left the company with quick steps, his mind consumed by a single concern: Haniel. He headed to the hospital, a knot forming in his throat. He had a mission to complete, another request from Hanna. Since she came back, he hadn’t stopped, trying to put everything in place according to her wishes.Upon arriving in the pediatric ward, Haniel’s smile greeted him like a ray of sunshine. The boy, with his big, curious eyes, radiated hope that contrasted with the shadow of fatigue hanging over Gabriel."Uncle... when am I going home? Where’s my sister?" Haniel’s voice was full of longing.Gabriel approached, feeling a tightness in his chest."I have a surprise for you, Haniel, but it’s our secret, okay?" The boy nodded frantically, his eyes shining with anticipation, and Gabriel handed the phone to him. Haniel stared at the screen, confused."A surprise? What is it?" Haniel asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity."Get ready for an even bigger surprise!" Th
Cap. 177: Perceiving EverythingHe didn’t know Luna was recovering, and when he saw her standing, rushing toward him, he almost fell back in shock. But he quickly regained his composure and gave a subtle smile.“What happened?” he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.“Well... I’ve been taking some vitamins, and they’ve been working. A calcium treatment, so...” she tried to explain, her eyes avoiding Morgan’s gaze.“Alright...” he sighed, opening his arms to her and pulling her into a tight hug. His fingers gently caressed her back as his eyes scanned every detail of the room.And suddenly, his eyes fixed on a teddy bear. A vague memory surfaced in his mind. The day he had bought toys to distribute to the children, Oliver had counted each bear before putting them in the car. Then, when they arrived at the hospital, he counted them again, but one was missing.Morgan had thought the bear had been lost, but now, there it was.A piece of the puzzle was starting to fall into place. All t
Cap.178: My Way of Bringing You"It's not like I never wanted to, but when you have a child with such a severe illness, you're afraid the next one will suffer the consequences. But I don't have that fear anymore, not in the situation I'm in. That's why I'm going to have a child and do my best to ensure they have a happy life by my side and with the woman I love," he said with conviction, trying to maintain a serious posture, but his eyes betrayed the intensity of his emotions. He knew she was listening and misunderstanding everything."My God... how you've changed and... why are you opening up like this?" Luna asked, startled by the intensity in Morgan's voice. "Besides, I thought you loved Hanna," she said indignantly."I spent so much time looking for her, and now I know she's fine and doesn't want anything to do with me. Am I so insignificant that I should humiliate myself chasing someone who runs and hides?" he said indifferently, but his voice carried a tone of resentment. Then h
Chapter 179: Morgan's AttackGabriel arrived at the Ford mansion unannounced. Hanna was worried about the urgency with which her uncle had contacted her; she even thought something might have happened to his patients."Gabriel..." Hanna sighed, full of guilt."No suspense, what's going on?" Her voice was firm, demanding an immediate response."First of all, I'm sorry. I didn't know what to do, and Haniel needed a guardian present..." His eyes avoided hers, evading her accusing gaze."What did you do?" Her voice was a whisper, laced with anger."I gave Morgan rights as Haniel's guardian, and now he's taken him to the mansion," he explained, and Hanna paled. Her lips pressed into a thin line."What do you mean?" Her voice was a low growl."What you heard—Morgan took Haniel to his house earlier today," Gabriel seemed to shrink under her fury."Why this sudden decision?" Her voice was cold and calculating."He wants to see you. That’s why. He said you can fight for custody in court, but y
Chapter 180: Hanna's CounterattackHanna asked Mr. Ford for help to leave the mansion without being followed. He then showed her another exit from the vast estate at the boundaries of his property, leaving Hanna breathless at the sheer scale of it all."You must be wondering how I have all this, considering I stopped being a Farrugia, right?" Mr. Ford asked, his eyes shining with pride. It was as if he had read her mind. "As Luna's friend and savior, it's obvious my daughter tells you everything... I got all this through the divorce, in the division of assets. Morgan took over everything after I left and managed to multiply what he had by over twenty times what I currently have—and it’s still growing," he commented, a faint smile on his lips.Hanna grew thoughtful. This man, who initially seemed so distant and cold, now revealed a complexity that surprised her."You really seem happy for him," she remarked, breaking the silence."Ah... he’s my son. I've always been very proud of and l
Chapter 181: Consequences of Every ActionAfter the assassination attempt, Liara woke up three days later in a hospital bed, her life precariously hanging by threads. Morgan, consumed by rage and the need for justice, wished with all his might that she survive just so she could pay for everything. Her admission to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital was a one-way road.Frustration took hold of Morgan as he faced Gabriel's office, now sealed. The "Sold" sign felt like a taunt, a reminder that his target had slipped through his fingers. Anger bubbled inside him. Gabriel had planned everything carefully, disappearing without a trace. Where would he go? What would be his next move? With each question, Morgan's obsession intensified.While Morgan pored over the clues, trying to figure out where Gabriel could be hiding, Gabriel adjusted his tie in front of a mirror in an airport bathroom. The anticipation was palpable as he waited for the two ladies.Soon, he would be reunited with his
Chapter 186: The Dream of the BeginningThe day of the trip had finally arrived. Hanna would return with her entire family, along with Morgan's family, and, most importantly, Lory, who absolutely did not want to miss this moment.It was still morning when the suitcases were being brought and placed in two cars, but there was still someone who would be traveling with them. Even after all the intrigue, Davis was there. He couldn’t even look Hanna in the eye—not out of disrespect, but after the numerous times he had been to prison and appeared in the newspapers, his dignity was completely shattered; he only had respect left.Rudan, on the other hand, had distanced himself from Davis, maintaining only a friendly relationship, but he still showed up. He parked in front of the Farrugia mansion, but before entering, something caught his attention.He got out of the car and walked toward the woman sitting on a step across the way, in front of the Farrugia mansion."Don't you ever get tired of
Chapter 185: Back to Me"Are you drunk? You already know that I don’t love you anymore, not after you let me be taken by that bastard.""I didn’t think it would get worse. I gave you to him to save you from something worse, but Davis was an idiot...""So letting me go was the only way you found to protect me? Seriously?" she asked skeptically, with teary eyes."At that moment?" He sighed heavily, staring at the ceiling while she rested against his chest. "I was stuck in a wheelchair, couldn’t do anything for you, I didn’t even know if I’d be able to walk again..." he confessed. "Back then, you couldn’t even fight for yourself, not without resources. But money isn’t everything, Hanna. What do you plan to do? Live your whole life alone while our son needs a father figure? When he grows up, he’ll miss me and wish I was around, and I want to be a present father and husband. Just let me do that.""Why?" Hanna muttered indignantly, hitting his chest. He just held her in his arms."Like it o
Cap. 184: A Real Dream"What’s going on?" Gabriel asked as Hanna ran back."Where is he? How could they have disappeared?" she asked desperately, looking to her grandmothers, who were clearing their throats. "You!" she pointed accusingly at the two ladies."But... what do they have to do with it?" Gabriel asked, concerned, heading toward the bedroom."They were acting strange, they were the last ones to enter the room. I left both of them sleeping, and now I’ve lost them..." Hanna muttered, lamenting."No..." Gabriel sighed thoughtfully as he heard the lullaby. "They’re still here, I can hear the crib’s music. They must have moved them somewhere else." Gabriel figured it out as he analyzed where the sound was coming from, then opened the bedroom door, freezing before entering.When Hanna got closer, she almost stumbled backward in shock."How? Is this a dream?" she asked confused as she saw Morgan lying on the bed, sleeping with the newborn baby resting on his chest and his son beside
Chapter 183: Kidnapping Morgan?The two elderly women watched the man with curiosity."What are we going to do? I'm sure it's him, right?" Heydi asked, while Ruby looked around as if she was about to do something suspicious."It's definitely him, and it's clear he's suffering because of that stubborn girl," Ruby said."I've got an idea!" Heydi exclaimed, smiling slyly at Ruby."What crazy scheme is your mind coming up with now? It's already bad enough that we're in a bar," Ruby said, and then she pointed at Morgan, who was unconscious at the bar. He was still mumbling something.They listened carefully and realized he was lamenting something, the death of someone. They kept listening and discovered it was because of his son's death, which made Heydi even more determined to carry out her plan.The two women helped Morgan to his feet, though they nearly collapsed under his weight. They didn’t have the strength to lift such a large man, but they managed to drag him out of the bar, despit
Chapter 182: The Pressure of Not KnowingHanna’s grandmothers watched her closely over the days. Gabriel told them everything that had happened in Hanna’s life while she was married to Morgan. Who was Morgan? They wanted to know every detail of it all.Days went by as they saw Hanna struggling, wearing herself out, and each day the baby was getting closer to being born. Morgan had no clue where she was, and he couldn’t even figure out where Gabriel was. All he knew was that Gabriel had become a prosecutor. Although growing anxious, Haniel was the only bridge still keeping him grounded. He had returned to the mansion, and now there was a new bed in the room where Haniel slept. Both he and the boy were arranging toys on a new shelf."When is Willy coming home?" Haniel asked excitedly."Oh... he’ll be back. You’re going to be his big brother," Morgan replied as the boy smiled brightly."It’s going to be so good to have a little brother, I’m excited..." he sighed, thrilled."Yes... it’s g
