Chapter 62

Evangeline watched with her heart in her throat, as they worked tirelessly to stabilize Klein. His face was ashen. There was a thin trail of blood that trickled from a cut on his forehead, and his chest rose and fell shallowly.

"Klein, it's me, Evangeline. I'm right here. Please hold on." She whispered, leaning closer.

Suddenly, Klein's eyelids fluttered as a faint groan escaped his lips. Evangeline's breath caught, hope flaring in her chest.

"He's regaining consciousness," the female paramedic noted, shining a small flashlight into his eyes. "Pupils are reactive."

"Klein?" Evangeline called softly, squeezing his hand. "Can you hear me?"

His eyes opened slightly, glazed and unfocused, but they sought out her voice. His lips parted, attempting to form words, but only a hoarse whisper emerged.

"Don't try to speak," Mark advised, placing an oxygen mask over Klein's mouth and nose. "Just relax. We're taking you to the hospital."

Klein's gaze settled on Evangeline with a flicker

Oh please don’t let the next chapters be he has amnesia and doesn’t remember his kids or his fiancé. That would be the same storyline of all the other books about someone having head trauma.

    Chapter 63Evangeline sat in the sterile hospital room as the bedside lamp cast a warm light that created subtle patterns of shadow on the walls. It had been days since the accident, and Klein still hadn’t woken up. The doctors had done all they could, and now, all that was left was the agonizing wait. But Evangeline refused to leave his side. Exhaustion pressed heavily on her. She had let Lydia and a few more nannies babysit the triplets as she focused all her strength in taking care of Klein. Dark circles under her eyes became a testament to the sleepless nights she had endured, but she didn’t care. All that mattered was Klein.She dipped a clean towel into a basin of warm water, wringing it out carefully before gently wiping Klein’s face. Her movements were slow and deliberate, as if she feared that even the slightest pressure could cause him more pain. The rhythmic motion of the cloth against his skin was almost soothing, giving her something to focus on other than the endless wor

    Chapter 64Evangeline tore her gaze from Klein's indifferent expression, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and confusion. She turned to Dr. Thompson, desperate for answers."What’s wrong with him, Dr. Thompson? Why is he looking at me like that?" Her voice trembled, barely holding back the tears that threatened to spill.Dr. Thompson's expression was compassionate but serious. He took a deep breath before speaking, knowing the weight of his words. "Ms. Evangeline, Klein has sustained significant trauma, particularly to his head. While his physical injuries are healing, the impact on his brain has been severe."Evangeline's heart sank further. "What does that mean? Will he recover? Will he remember me?"Dr. Thompson hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "Klein's injuries have led to a condition known as post-traumatic amnesia. It's common in cases where the brain has suffered a significant blow. His memories are fragmented, and he may have difficulty recalling certain events

    Chapter 65The next few days were a blur for Evangeline. As Klein's physical recovery progressed, the doctor finally advised that he could go home. Despite Klein's cold treatment, the hospital insisted he leave with Evangeline, his fiancée, and not with Daphnie. This only added to Evangeline's pain, as she endured his continued denial and rejection. When they finally arrived home, Lydia and a few babysitters were waiting with the triplets—Xander, Maxine, and Mikael. Klein was surprised as he sat in his wheelchair that was carefully pushed by Evangeline into the house. For a brief moment, there was a flicker of happiness in his eyes at the sight of the children. But just as quickly as it came, it vanished. Klein's expression darkened, and his voice dripped with disdain as he spoke words that shattered Evangeline's already fragile heart."I can't believe I had kids with you. Are they even mine?" he sneered, the disgust in his tone catching Evangeline off guard.She froze, her breath hi

    Chapter 66The following days plunged Evangeline into a grueling routine. Her efforts to keep Klein within the confines of their estate and prevent Daphnie from visiting led only to an intensification of Klein's resentment. Security guards were hired, but their presence seemed to stoke Klein's anger rather than quell it. Each day turned into a battleground, a struggle for control and acceptance.Feeding Klein became a test of patience. Every attempt was met with resistance; he would smack the food away, as if daring her to give in. His childish defiance was a constant reminder of how far their relationship had deteriorated. Bathing him, tending to his needs, and making sure every detail of his care was attended to drained her both physically and emotionally. Her days blurred together in a cycle of work, care, and exhaustion.Despite her best efforts, the emotional toll was visible. Evangeline's once vibrant demeanor faded into weariness, and her weight began to drop as she juggled her

    Chapter 67That very night, as the moon cast a soft glow over the estate, Evangeline moved quietly through her room, carefully packing her belongings. The babies were sound asleep as their tiny breaths were the only sound breaking the stillness. Each item she placed in her suitcase felt like a weight being lifted from her shoulders, yet also a burden she knew she couldn’t fully escape.Evangeline was folding the last of the baby clothes when a soft knock interrupted her thoughts. "Evangeline?" Lydia's voice came through the door, gentle yet concerned.Recognizing Lydia, Evangeline hesitated for a moment, glancing at the suitcases and then at the door. She took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn’t hide her intentions from the woman who had been by her side through so much. "Come in, Lydia," she responded, her voice quiet but steady.When Lydia entered the room, her eyes immediately darted on the half-packed suitcases. The sight made her heart sink, and she looked up at Evangeline w

    Chapter 68Klein groaned softly as the gentle chirping of birds outside his window pierced through the fog of his sleep. His eyes fluttered open, and he tried to sit up, only to be stopped by a heavy weight resting on his arms. He glanced down, half-expecting to see Evangeline—she often fell asleep beside him in her exhaustion from caring for him. But instead, he found Daphnie nestled beside him. Her eyes fluttered open, and she greeted him with a warm smile. “Good morning, baby,” she said, leaning in to kiss him gently on the lips.The unexpected kiss caught him off guard, and confusion briefly clouded his mind. He remembered that Evangeline had been adamant about keeping Daphnie out, so how was she here? But he shook off the thought anyway and let the confusion drift away, replaced by a surge of relief and contentment.Without hesitation, Klein pulled Daphnie into a tight embrace, wrapping his arms around her as if to reassure himself that she was indeed there with him. His heart,

    Chapter 69Klein had spent the entire night in restless anticipation, his mind racing with questions that had no answers. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong. The house was too quiet, too empty. The presence he longed for, the one that had filled the space with warmth and life, was missing. He knew he had to see her—to see Evangeline—and make sure everything was as it should be.But when morning finally broke, it wasn’t Evangeline who descended the stairs. It was Lydia, moving with the same steady grace she always had, her expression calm, almost detached. Klein’s heart sank, replaced by a gnawing anxiety that he couldn’t quite place.“Where are the babies?” he asked, the words spilling out before he could stop them. The urgency in his voice was evident, as if he had been holding onto the question all night, waiting for this exact moment to ask it.Lydia paused, her hand hovering over the banister. “Babies? There are no babies, sir. Whatever do you mean?” H

    Chapter 70Klein’s mind churned as he glanced between the open door and Daphnie, who was still engrossed with the wedding dress. He was convinced that the dress was meant for someone else, despite his foggy memory. Driven by an urgent need to understand, Klein bolted out of the door, his steps hurried and frantic as he chased after the delivery woman who was unaware of his pursuit.“Wait! Stop!” he shouted, his voice a blend of urgency and desperation.The woman turned, clearly surprised and concerned by his sudden outburst. “Sir? Is something the matter?” she asked, her brows knitting together in confusion.Klein who was still catching his breath, gestured back toward the mansion. “There seems to be something wrong with the dress. It doesn’t seem to fit her features,” he said, his tone laden with concern trying to get some information out of the woman.The delivery woman followed his gaze to Daphnie, who was admiring the dress with a smile. She chuckled lightly, shaking her head. “Oh

    Chapter 81"You're glad? Is that all you have to say?" Evangeline asked, turning to face him with disbelief and frustration in her eyes.Klein's expression faltered, and for a moment, he seemed at a loss for words. He swallowed hard, trying to steady himself, but the hurt in his eyes was undeniable. "What else can I say?" he finally replied, his voice tinged with resignation. "I don't want to lose you, Evangeline. But if he's the one who makes you happy…"But Evangeline shook her head, cutting him off. "Stop it, Klein. Don’t pretend like this doesn’t affect you. I see it in your eyes—you're hurting. So why won't you fight for us, for me?"Klein looked down as the weight of her words pressed heavily on him. "Because… I don’t want to be selfish. I’ve already hurt you so much. If being with him means you’re finally at peace, how can I stand in the way?"Evangeline's frustration grew. "But that’s just it. You’re assuming I want to be with someone else. That I’ve moved on, that I’m not sti

    Chapter 80After that night, days went on just like that. Klein left Lydia behind to help Evangeline with the triplets and it was a gesture that spoke more of his growing understanding than words ever could. He hesitated to leave, lingering in the doorway as if uncertain whether to stay or go, but he knew what he had to do. With a heavy heart, Klein returned home to manage his company, taking the first steps back into his old life. But this time, everything felt different.Klein wasn’t just returning to work, he was giving Evangeline the space she needed. He didn’t want to crowd her or push her into a decision she wasn’t ready to make. He wanted her to see that he was serious about making things right—that he was committed to being the man she and their children needed. For once, he wasn’t thinking only of himself, his guilt, or his desperation to make amends. He was thinking about her, about what she deserved, and how he could be the one to give it to her if she would allow it.Every

    Chapter 79Evangeline gently handed each of the triplets their milk bottles with practiced but weary movements. Klein stood nearby and watched with both awe and amusement. He couldn’t help but marvel at how she managed to juggle three one-year-olds on her own. The sight stirred a sense of regret within him as he was struck by the realization of how much she had been carrying alone and how he had failed to be there for her.Evangeline’s mind, however, was elsewhere. Her eldest, Xander, was inconsolable and was crying in a way he never had before. No matter how much she tried to comfort him, he wouldn’t stop, and the anxiety gnawed at her. Something was wrong, and it scared her.Klein watched her who was already giving out an anxious vibe and immediately asked. “Is he okay?”Even though she was still quite mad at Klein, Evangeline managed to glance up at him, her face pale and strained. “I don’t know,” she admitted, her voice trembling with worry. “He’s never cried like this before.

    Chapter 78“Klein... W-what are you doing here? How did you know I was here?” Evangeline stuttered nervously as Klein began to walk toward her. What confused her more than the fear of facing her ex-fiance was the look in his eyes. There was no trace of the hatred or disgust he had shown her weeks ago. Instead, his eyes were filled with a longing that she couldn’t understand, and it scared her.The sight of Klein’s intense gaze only heightened her fear. She had closed her heart to him after being hurt so many times before, and now, seeing this unfamiliar emotion in his eyes made her feel vulnerable. Her back hit the wall as she tried to retreat, her breath quickening. She glanced desperately around for a way to escape, but Klein moved swiftly, slamming his hands on the walls, effectively caging her in.Klein’s expression twisted in anger as he demanded, “Who was that man with you? You took our children into his house? How could you, Evangeline? And here I am, ready to apologize, but yo

You can bring the three as well.” Kenji suddenly invited while Evangeline was busy grabbing Mikael’s hand, making sure he didn’t run off.“Uh… we don’t really want to disturb you, and the kids will really make a lot of mess,” she hesitated, letting out an awkward laugh. Kenji, however, dismissed her concerns with a warm smile.“It’s okay. What can three one-year-olds do?” he chuckled, sensing the hesitation in Evangeline’s expression. “Please?” he added, his tone light but persuasive.Evangeline looked at him for a moment, then laughed softly, surrendering with a smile. “Alright then.”“Great! I’ll pick you up at 7,” he informed her.“Do you know where my house is?” Evangeline asked curiously, noting his confidence.Kenji grinned, then recited, “1202 Maplewood Lane, right?”Evangeline blinked in surprise. “You really do know.”“How could I not? I’m a daycare teacher—I have my students’ addresses just in case,” Kenji said playfully. Ev

    Chapter 76Evangeline settled comfortably on the patio of her favorite café, enjoying the soft morning sun that warmed her face. The gentle hum of the café’s early activity provided a soothing backdrop as she took a moment to savor her coffee. Her laptop was open on the table, and her airpods were snugly in place, creating a bubble of focus amidst the café’s light background noise.After dropping off her triplets at daycare, Evangeline was ready for her virtual meeting with the company’s investors. She glanced at the clock—precisely on time. As she opened her laptop and initiated the virtual meeting, her screen was immediately occupied with the faces of the investors.“Good morning, everyone,” Evangeline began warmly, “I want to start by apologizing for not being able to meet in person. As some of you know, managing triplets can be quite the challenge.” She chuckled softly, her humor met with understanding laughter from the group. “But despite it all, I assure you, SNCLR’s vision rema

    Chapter 75Evangeline's days had become increasingly busy. With the triplets now beginning to walk, her chores seemed to multiply by the minute. Keeping up with three one-year-olds was no easy task. Each child had their own personality, adding to the delightful chaos of her days.Xander, the eldest of the three, was mature and quiet for his age. He rarely cried and often observed his surroundings with calm, inquisitive eyes. Mikael, on the other hand, was the cranky troublemaker. He had a knack for finding mischief, whether it was pulling on curtains or knocking over anything within reach. Maxine, the youngest, was the friendly, chattery little girl who loved to babble endlessly, her sweet voice filling the room with an infectious energy.Realizing that managing all three on her own was becoming overwhelming, Evangeline made the decision to take the toddlers to daycare. It would be good for them to interact with other children, and she could use the time to manage her responsibilities

    Chapter 74Life went on for Evangeline, although the weight of her decisions felt heavy on her heart. Deep down, she knew she still loves Klein. But the pain of being forgotten by the man who once adored her was too much to bear. To protect herself, she chose to stay far away, focusing on her company overseas and her children. Although her presence was often needed, her staff understood her situation, granting her the space she needed to heal.Meanwhile, Klein dealt with his troubles differently. The gnawing truth he had uncovered fueled his anger, and Daphnie became the unfortunate target of his wrath."You can’t lie to me anymore, Daphnie," Klein growled, his voice thick with disgust. The tension in the air snapped like a taut string, and before Daphnie could react, Klein’s hand struck her cheek with a harsh slap. She gasped, stumbling back as her hand flew to her reddening face, eyes wide with shock."Stop coming back here," Klein continued, his words laced with venom. "If you ever
