The cardiologist’s next words managed to dispel the euphoria that came over Cecilia's beautiful face, turning into a flash of cloudy lightning before torrential rain dripped down on Rose City. "For now, all I can say is, the patient's condition can be serious at any time. For now, all we can do to prevent this situation is continue to monitor the patient's condition until the patient regains consciousness. After that, there will be a follow-up examination, to ensure that there are no serious problems with the patient's current condition." "But he will be fine, won't he?" "For now, we dare not conclude anything," the young doctor closed the document again and stored it in the archives. "That's all we can say for now." "Oh, no…" Cecilia's voice was hoarse as she said it. The woman's face was so sad when she said it. The woman covered her lips, trying to keep her composure by holding her tears in front of the doctor. "Poor my Tatius…" He took the initiative to hold Cecilia's free han
Marie looked at the lunch menu she bought in the hospital cafeteria with a languid look. Reluctantly, she shoved a mouthful into her mouth, letting the bland taste meet her tongue, which was used to her husband's cooking. It felt exactly like the first time she found out that her late mother had to be hospitalised for a reason she did not know. At the time, she thought that his mother had only been hospitalised for a few days due to exhaustion, so she did not really mind the taste of the hospital cafeteria food, which was not as good as her mother's. Until the results of a follow-up examination by the hospital doctor changed her life completely. Her high school years were only spent visiting and accompanying his mother in the hospital. As much as possible, she took the time to visit her mother, so she had to sacrifice her extracurricular schedule and all the second and third-year programmes she took as her future plans to enter university so that she could spend more time with her mo
"Why did you stop crying? You can cry until you feel relieved, Marie,” Caleb walked to the chair opposite him, then pulled it out and sat down. “Thank you,” half sobbing, Marie took the handkerchief Caleb had given her and used it to wipe her tears. “Why are you here? How about your medical internship program? I heard it is important for you. Is that all right to leave your internship just to see me?” "No problem. That is not a big thing. Besides, it is already lunchtime and I am really, really hungry,” Caleb rested his hands on the table, forming a pyramid dome. "I understand your feelings too. Since I know you are just like me; worrying about my older brother's condition." There was nothing Marie could do but nod a little to confirm Caleb's words. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly in an attempt to calm himself. “Add to that the fact that so many people started assaulting my older brother openly in the hospital a while ago, which makes me even more anxious,” Caleb mumbled
Keith looked languidly at the back of his left hand with the IV on it. His hands were itching, wanting to get the IV needle out of his hands and get out of the hospital as soon as possible. The situation out there was in a precarious state, not allowing him even to rest for a few hours. He had to move fast. After Silvano's attack that had destroyed his cafe and left him in his current state, he could not let himself relax. Even for a second. He had told Aura to close the cafe for some time and called construction services to restore his cafe to operating as normally as possible. But still, he could not calm down. Silvano was clearly after him, besides aiming for Marie. It was only a matter of time before his family, who would become Silvano's next target, might have started to know the true identity of his family. He had no idea how to judge the situation right now. Since it was hard for him to speculate at a time like this. His situation of being trapped in a hospital building un

Patricia Caroline looked at the figure of her girlfriend – Aura Chen, who had just returned after visiting Keith. Her girlfriend's face looked so gloomy in her eyes, clouded by a relentless cloud. If she could compare her girlfriend's face to the weather, then the facial expression that appeared on her girlfriend's face looked like overcast clouds gathering and ready to create lightning along with a thunderstorm. Uh… Wait a moment. It felt like the phrase was not quite accurate to describe Aura's expression. The rainstorm accompanied by lightning was a symbol of anger that had been contained for a long time until it finally exploded when the time came. Meanwhile, what appeared on Aura's face was only gloom. Also, she saw a hint of anxiety on his current girlfriend's face. He couldn't stop feeling anxious. She didn't know what had happened, but it seemed to have something to do with Keith's condition. Did that mean something bad will happen to Keith? But if something bad happened
Alan walked unsteadily out of the hospital building. For a moment, he turned, looking glumly at the hospital building where Tatius and Keith were currently before he shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. His jaw clenched, along with his hands tightly clenched in his jacket pockets. His heart was filled with annoyance, with anger he could no longer contain. Silvano was clearly playing with fire with the wrong people. He wanted to punch Arthur Silvano and beat the bastard man until all the joints of his body shifted and bones came out of his flesh. He wanted to hang the man's body, making sure that the man's blood came out so that only bones and skin were left on the man's body. But that's definitely not the right solution. It was only temporary suffering and would mean nothing as Silvano would only feel a little of the pain he was in. He was not a good person, especially when it comes to the people closest to him. His family. Tatius. Cecilia. And his boss who has been his best
No one can describe how happy she was right now… Katherine stared in amazement at the cafe she was visiting with Thomas at the moment. His eyes blinked in disbelief when he found out that the place where the two of them had a date today was the cafe he had always wanted to visit. When she was about to celebrate the news of Tatius's marriage to Alan, she had thought of this place and planned a great party to celebrate. Unfortunately, he was forced to cancel the party plans and bury his dream of visiting a cafe with outdoor nuances of a flower garden due to Tatius's deteriorating condition after returning from his vacation with Alan to Bali. But how did Thomas know that he had wanted to go to this place for a long time? Katherine couldn't hide her curiosity at how Thomas knew about this place. His attention was then diverted to Thomas who was currently talking to one of the cafe staff. In that instant, his pleasure turned into annoyance as soon as he saw the familiarity between Tho

[Sempione Park, Ponte delle Sirenete]Marie walked down the path in Sempione Park desperately. It had been almost a week since Keith had left home and asked for a divorce from her, making her immediately cancel all her work schedules for the next month to look for Keith.Armed with the information she got from Keith's parents that Keith went to Italy, precisely in Milan, she decided to book a ticket to Italy in a hurry.For days, she travelled the streets of Milan. She did not have any free time to explore the biggest and most complete fashion shopping centre there or visit tourist attractions. She only tried the local food, but only because she had to fill her stomach with food while trying to find her husband.Unfortunately, she had been in this place for a week, and she could not find her husband there. She was so stupid that she forgot to ask her mother-in-law where exactly Keith had gone in her panic. Now, she was confused, cursing her stupidity. How could she find Keith? Milan
A few days later...Marie walked into her mansion feeling uncertain after parking her car in the garage. Her memories of what happened a few days ago at her extended family's house still felt like yesterday. It was hard for her to accept the fact that all this time, her husband had been hiding the fact about his identity as the head of the mafia. Also, the fact that her husband decided to kill all of her extended family, leaving only her father, Uncle Charles, and Cecilia.For days, she tried to understand why Keith did it. She rented a hotel on the edge of Rose City as a way to calm down. Not to the Pacifica Hotel, considering the fact that it was a gift from Dean Aldebrando as their wedding present, which would make Keith aware of her whereabouts. She wanted to get away from it all. He wanted to have time to himself, to reflect on everything. But last night, he realised one thing. Everything that happened didn't matter anymore. She found that compared to having her husband by he
Cecilia looked at her father who still didn't dare to look at her when she arrived at Gilbert's cafe ten minutes ago. She knew that her father was a rigid, military type of person, so it was difficult for her father to admit all of Keith's statements about the reasons behind her parents' deaths. That was the reason why she waited until her father was ready to tell her everything. But ten minutes was not a fast time, and she wanted to hear the truth directly from her father's lips, not from anyone else."I know this sounds hard for you to accept, but I'm doing all this for you-"PLAKK!!!Her attention was diverted from her father to Keith and Marie. The sound of her cousin's slap told her instantly that Keith had confessed everything. And her cousin, she assumed, could not take it well."You secretly helped my company, I tried to understand it, although I still don't like your ways," Marie's eyes glazed over. "But you even went as far as killing all of my extended family, leaving only
Hearing Aura's exclamation gave him the signal to get out of this place immediately. The atmosphere in Hermann's living room gets even more chaotic when he told Gina the true facts about the husband she's been married to all this time. Now, Gina and Freddy were fighting again, making a scene, which made everyone around them were trying hard to break up the two people.Taking advantage of the chaos created there, Keith used the opportunity to put his revolver into his waistband, then pulled the hands of his father-in-law, as well as Uncle Charles, to leave this place immediately. "What's wrong?" Uncle Charles looked confused while running, but still complied with Keith's request to leave the Hermann mansion. "Why are we leaving-""Save your questions for later!" exclaimed Keith. He whistled loudly once he reached the gate. It did not take him long to find a saloon car appearing in front of them. The car door opened automatically."After you."Alfred without hesitation got into the ca
James Hermann was the first to move from his spot. The old man's jaw hardened, furious with anger."What a sassy mouth you have, young man!" James Hermann's hand grabbed Keith by the collar, but Keith did not lose his composure in the slightest. "On what basis are your false accusations?!""Grandpa! Let go of him!" Marie exclaimed in a panic once she realised what James Hermann was doing to Keith."Don't try to stop me, you unworthy grandchild!" James hissed, his gaze still fixed on Keith. "My business is with this moron! Answer my question!""I get this, Marie. Rest assured," Keith signalled to Marie to remain calm, and Marie reluctantly complied. "I have evidence to back up my statement just now. But first, let go of your grip. Do you think I can continue my speech in this position?"James seemed to consider Keith's words because the old man finally complied with Keith and released his grip, sitting back in his chair. Keith reached for his smartphone, calling Alan."Alan, bring Mr T
All the way to her grandfather's house, Marie felt restless. The fire incident with her personal assistant made her anxious. Derek told her that it might be the work of her uncle who wanted to spread terror in Rose City, but she wasn't sure if that was the only reason.What's more, Keith neither cared nor tried to bring up the matter when she tried to broach the subject. Keith just assumed that it was a coincidence—nothing to think about.Now, he was in the living room, along with his father's entire extended family, attending his grandfather's birthday party. His hand shook the stem of the wine glass filled with red wine served with an uncertain feeling. He did not see Cecilia anywhere at all.Was Cecilia not coming? Or perhaps, her cousin was late for something?She took out her smartphone and sent a short message to Cecilia before cramming it back into her handbag."Your face is so tense. Is it because you're still thinking about your company going bankrupt?"Gina Hermann, her cous
"Welcome back, Mrs. Clark."Rosemarie answered her household manager's greeting with a faint murmur, taking off her high heels and slipping into house slippers. Fatigue enveloped her after almost a day of staring at the computer screen without stopping and also solving business problems with new investors.“Yes…”"I wanted to inform you that an invitation letter was sent for you today.""Invitation letter? From whom?"“From your grandfather, I think…”Marie suddenly felt uneasy. His tiredness vanished in an instant, and he went straight to his household manager, and the old woman handed him an envelope containing the invitation letter that the woman meant.As soon as she learned the contents of the letter, her blood boiled, filled with the anger that was so attached. The letter was an official invitation from her paternal grandfather,To Mrs. Rosemarie Clark.You are invited to attend James Hermann's 64th birthday. The event will be held tomorrow, at 16:00. Wear formal clothes.How c
Keith tapped his fingers on the table after taking a sip of the mineral water that one of the servers had just served him. His eyes glanced out the window of the restaurant, waiting for the arrival of someone.Currently, he was in the restaurant built by his grandfather at the Hotel Pacifica as a gift for his marriage to Marie.He chose this restaurant for a simple reason: it was his, and it was filled with people he could trust. So he did not need to look for hidden places or need privacy to talk about anything confidential.“Can you imagine? There were three fire incidents in a row! Not to mention the presence of journalists who several times tried to cover the news by claiming to be the family of the fire victims! I don't know if they've lost empathy or what, but this whole thing is definitely weird to me!”Keith thought back to his wife's words once he managed to take care of this suspicious person. Marie was quite surprised to find Derek Skylar coming with him, but his wife's att
