"We have performed surgery to stop the bleeding and also to drain blood from his lung cavity. But he is still unconscious and needs a respirator temporarily because we need to rest his lungs." A man with a serious face reported to another man with a rather sharp appearance. His hair, almost entirely white, remained neat and slicked back. His demeanor made it clear he was not an ordinary person."When can he be discharged?" the man asked. His voice was as imposing as his appearance."It cannot be determined yet. Unless you have adequate facilities like a ventilator and everything that this hospital has. Mr. Jaxter needs all of these, as I mentioned, he even requires a machine to breathe," the doctor explained."Alright. You may go." The man waved his hand dismissively, signaling that he wanted the doctor out of his sight.The man in the white coat immediately nodded and walked towards the door. He could no longer endure the tension since this group had suddenly appeared from nowhere, d

Jacob frowned. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I’m alone in my apartment. You can use it. Don’t worry, I’ll go back to my father’s house. He has been asking me to come over lately. So I think you can stay at my place.”“Really? I don’t want to be a burden.”“Come on, Hayle, what are you talking about? I know you hit your head on a tree, but it won’t change your usual tough personality so easily, will it?! Besides, rather than my place being dusty, you can stay there and clean it, right?” Jacob flashed his usual sly grin.Hayle slowly developed a genuine smile, shaking her head at her friend's nature. “You’re never sincere.”“Yeah! Everyone wants to benefit from something! And I like it!” Jacob said, his laughter turning into a hearty chuckle. “So, what do you say? Do you want to? I think you can move in starting tonight since you’re actually okay.”Hayle nodded quickly. She also didn’t want to stay in the clinic any longer. Too many things there made her feel increasingly stressed.

"Hayle?" The soft voice jolted Hayle awake, and she instinctively looked for the source of the voice she desperately wanted to meet.But when her eyes caught the figure now drawing back the curtains of her room, Hayle realized it wasn't her husband."Oh? Did I wake you? Sorry..." Jacob walked back toward Hayle. "I felt your room was too stuffy. You didn't even turn on the AC. How can you breathe in a room like this?" Jacob approached Hayle, who looked quite disheveled this morning. However, Jacob had seen Hayle in worse condition before.Hayle’s eyes searched for something before settling back on her friend sitting at the edge of her bed. “Did Roberto tell you anything?” Hayle asked, hoping.Yes! It’s possible that Roberto hasn’t said anything to her. But to Jacob, he might have been more open. Hayle watched as Jacob nodded. But, it seemed his feelings were more significant than her hopes; the man weakly shook his head. “He hasn’t contacted me at all since he left. I sent him several

"Come in," Hayle said, taking a deep breath.Jacob was somewhat surprised by Hayle’s decision. But given that it was decided, he couldn’t stop the man. Now, it seemed he only had to keep an eye on Hayle, though he had a surgery scheduled for the morning."Don’t stay too long; I have to work this morning," Jacob said with a scowl at the man passing him, matching Lucas’s disdainful glance. They had never gotten along well.“Jacob, do you have a first-aid kit?” Hayle asked, looking at Jacob, who frowned."Come on, Hayle. He’s a doctor; he knows that an epidermal wound like this won’t be a problem," Jacob said, a bit annoyed. It seemed absurd to him that Hayle was so concerned about a minor injury. Lucas, for his part, appeared to be emphasizing his wound."It’s not about the injury; it’s about responsibility. I’m not going to treat him. He can handle it himself," Hayle said, glancing at Lucas, who nodded slowly.Jacob sighed, reluctant to get the medicine, but since Hayle asked, he felt

“Yes. We’ll remove the tube soon, but we need to take him to the operating room to manage any complications that might arise with Mr. Jaxter,” Dr. Han said, trying to remain composed despite his hand trembling inside his coat pocket.Cassius continued to narrow his eyes, trying to gauge the doctor’s nervousness. The doctor appeared fearful but not visibly anxious.“Alright.” Cassius eased his pressure on the man. “How many people will you bring to carry out this procedure?” Cassius asked, wanting to ensure they didn’t leak any information.“No one. I’ll handle it alone.”“Are you sure? Why not bring the nurses who assisted you earlier?”“They’re both women; they’re quite scared and wouldn’t be able to perform the tasks properly. But I assure you, they won’t say a word.” Dr. Han looked at Cassius with a reassuring expression.Cassius paused for a moment. “Alright. You’re still going to administer the sedative to keep him unconscious, right?”“Yes! If you’d like to see, I’ll administer

"We can't take Sir to the hospital now!" Roberto said, immediately rejecting Jacob's suggestion to take Jaxter to the hospital, even though it was Jacob's family hospital."But his condition is very bad!" Jacob was slightly confused by Roberto's reasoning."It would be worse if Sir were taken to the hospital. They will search every nearby hospital, even regular clinics. Not only will Sir face problems, but the doctors treating him will also have problems. Ask Dr. Han, we even had to evacuate his family out of the country just because of threats from Mr. Logan. Believe me, we're dealing with someone who's not ordinary." Roberto looked at Jacob very seriously.Jacob took a deep breath. "Alright, do you have any other solutions?""Can we bring ICU equipment here? We will prepare a suitable room for Mr. Jaxter somewhere. But for now, I want him to be treated here." He was fortunate that his mood was good enough to agree to this.A small smile appeared on Hayle's lips. However, he tried to

“Alright. By the way, Mrs. Hayle, Mr. Jacob sent a message for you.”Hayle had handed her phone to Roberto, sometimes using it to play classical music in Jaxter’s room. But mostly, Roberto took it to check who had sent messages. Yes, it was Jacob again.“Just reply as best you can.” Hayle gave a faint smile.“Alright, Mrs. Hayle.”Roberto left, leaving Hayle alone by her husband’s side. This was their bedroom; Hayle often slept in the chair next to Jaxter or in the small bed beside him. There were several books available from the beginning, which helped Hayle get through each day by Jaxter’s side, who hadn’t moved at all. Sometimes she read books, sometimes she just watched TV—anything to stay close to Jaxter.Honestly, sometimes Hayle even lost track of whether it was day or night because their building was underground. There was only one room with a view of the outside, but she rarely visited it, not wanting to miss a moment by Jaxter's side.“Jax?” Hayle held her husband's hand, no

Hayle slowly opened her eyes and immediately widened them as her mind recalled what had happened the previous night. On top of that, she noticed that Jaxter's body was no longer in the bed beside her. Even the IV stand was hanging there unattended.“Jax!” Hayle hurriedly got out of bed.She cursed herself for having fallen asleep. She wasn’t even aware of when she lost consciousness. Now, she was panicking, searching for her husband.“Jax!” Hayle ran towards the bathroom, hoping her husband might be inside. She didn’t find him there. While this confirmed that what had happened to her the night before was real, Hayle was also worried that he might have pushed himself and worsened his condition. A person who hasn’t moved for a while would certainly have its own way to return to normal.Hayle quickly left, traversing the corridors of the room, which were all cold, dark gray, with minimal lighting that added to its mysterious aura. At some points, they even retained their original rocky s

"How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e

"You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin

"Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha

"Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly

"Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th

The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what

"Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt

"Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba

"At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
