She wanted to pray for him.Even though she didn't know if it would help, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she was willing to do it for him. Harmonia took a deep breath, and she almost fell from the edge of the bed because of her shaky body. She opened the booklet and pronounced each word following the phonetic annotations. Her voice was trembling as she read the unfamiliar words. She had a talent for languages, and she repeated the words over and over again.The meaning of this ancient civilization language and its corresponding annotations were naturally engraved in her mind. She didn't even need to stare at the annotations to recite them.However, there was no sign of Dimas waking up. Harmonia’s curled eyelashes trembled, and her tears glistened. She blinked, and tears fell on the back of his hand, hot and scalding, slowly spreading little by little. ‘Dimas, I will not break my promise about giving you privileges. Please wake up soon, okay?’-Meanwhile, in the w
The Xander family’s house was on fire! Not a single person from Nathan’s family of three survived the raging inferno! Was all of this really just a coincidence, or was there someone else orchestrating the mine explosion behind the scenes? Had Nathan just been a pawn in this person’s hands?Now that things were about to be exposed, was he worried that Nathan would rat him out, so he had taken preemptive action to ensure his silence forever?Who could it be?Harmonia clenched the small booklet, biting her lower lip tightly, but she had no clue.-However, Mr. Duncan’s confession and the conclusion that the mine explosion was due to improper operations had also been thoroughly confirmed. Everyone’s attention was focused on the Xanders now. The Xanders had been acting arrogantly in Janloon for many years. Who could have imagined that unexpected things would happen and that everything would change overnight and be turned to ashes with no one left alive?Harmonia knew in her hear
Although the last sentence sounded like a question, it was actually full of certainty.Harmonia was waiting. She was waiting for her father to tell her the truth, and to give her the answer himself.She felt as if all her strength had been drained away after being caught between the reality of Dimas’ unconsciousness and the truth of her grandfather's death.She collapsed onto the edge of the bed. She was unable to hold back her tears which flowed like a dam bursting.Safan, who was on the other end of the line, fell silent and tried to change the subject. “Harmonia, listen to me. This matter…”“You just need to answer me, yes or no?! Do you still want to keep me in the dark? Dad, you know me well. I wouldn't have called you without being completely sure.”There was another moment of silence.Safan sighed heavily and replied, “Yes.” At the moment when Harmonia received an affirmative answer, the air around her quickly solidified, and it felt as if oxygen was slowly being suck
Dimas was awake!Her eyes were watery, clear and pure with long, curly eyelashes fluttering slightly as glistening tears fell, landing on the back of his hand.Dimas frowned and said, “If you cry like this, others will think that you’re widowed, but I’m doing fine, right?” His injuries were severe, and it was difficult for him to even move his fingers, but at the moment, he leaned against her fingertips, occasionally moving them lightly with a hint of provocation.Harmonia wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. Even though he was severely injured, he didn't forget to take advantage of her! What kind of widow was she supposed to be?! They clearly had no relationship whatsoever!Harmonia pushed his hand away and immediately reached out her hand to press the bell.His gaze followed her and settled on her body. He seemed to smile mischievously at her as he said, “It's rare to see you cry, but I didn't expect you to look so good even when you cry. Aren’t you going to continu
“Honey.”The affectionate term paired with the tender voice seemed just right, but Harmonia found it extremely grating.“Do you need something?” She maintained a calm expression to prevent Absalom from noticing anything unusual.“I’m sorry for what happened that day.” He lowered his head toward her.Harmonia turned to look at him and saw the sincerity in his apologetic expression. She knew his apology was genuine, but—he owed her too many apologies. Moreover, her father owed her a life! “I accept your apology, so can you let go of your hand now?”Harmonia furrowed her delicate brows, immediately breaking free from his hold. Absalom quickly released her hand, appearing cautious.Harmonia’s stomach growled conveniently at this moment. “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go buy whatever you want to eat.”“I want to eat the best burger in Janloon. Do you know which one it is, Mr. Terran?” Absalom was taken aback.“Don’t you want to remarry me? I'll give you this
“What do you want? I'll get it for you.” Harmonia then looked around. “My privilege,” He replied. Harmonia was stunned and momentarily speechless. He smiled playfully and said, “You said that you will give me the privilege to pursue you. I heard it.” Harmonia met his gaze, feeling overwhelmed for a moment.He chuckled softly, “Are you going to go back on your word already?”“I only adopted that method out of urgency! I said that because the situation was urgent, and I didn't want you to give up on yourself…”Knock, knock, knock.Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the door to the ward was opened.“Honey.”Absalom appeared at the door with a conspicuously out-of-place thermal bag.Dimas’ eyelids twitched.Harmonia gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, looked at Dimas, and said with much difficulty, “Mr. Martinez, the so-called privilege was just something I said in a moment of desperation. I was thinking about your life, and I was trying to give you hope as m
His cold gaze changed at that moment.“Go and bring the trash can over here.”Rio was stunned. Could it be that his boss felt like throwing up? After the trash can was brought over, Dimas did not vomit. Instead, he glanced deeply at the thermal bag inside the trash can.Rio looked puzzled and asked, “Mr. Martinez, isn’t that a burger?” “Do you recognize it?”Rio nodded and said, “It’s the only place in Janloon that serves burgers. Liler took me there once. The buns were thick, and there was so little fillings. It was terrible!” Harmonia’s conversation with Absalom just now replayed in Dimas’ mind. He chuckled softly. The terrible burger naturally had to be thrown away. It was just like how a scumbag should naturally be kicked awayThe young lady had almost lost her life at the hands of Absalom once, so she must have understood this truth. Now, she was suddenly giving him a chance and even completely handed the opportunity to him.There must be a reason for this that he di
Harmonia smiled subtly and withdrew her hand. “I only said I'd give you a chance, not that I'd remarry you.”Absalom frowned and asked, “Whether we will remarry will depend on my performance?”“Yes,” Harmonia nodded.Absalom chuckled lightly, “I'll do as you say.”At least, it was a good start now. He would definitely perform well in the future.He had decided that he would get remarried to her!-Harmonia boarded the plane and headed to Nilus City with Absalom.Before the plane took off, she deliberately made the point of not avoiding Absalom and made a phone call to Louis in front of him. The mural restoration at Empyrean Tower had been successfully completed, so Dimas’ special employment contract was automatically terminated. She asked Louis to settle the relevant expenses first, then handed the mining rights of the old jade mine to Louis to ask him to liaise with the Judds for the mining of the jade. Now that the Xanders had fallen from their grace, the scarred-faced ma
