A day after she was hospitalized, Karina got the permission to go back home. Eden texted her so early in the morning saying that he would pick her up at the hospital so they could go home together. However, there was no answer from her.
Eden felt like something was wrong. He knew she was upset but apparently her phone was not active either.
So that afternoon, right after lunch, Eden drove to the hospital to drive Karina. He headed over to her room but much to his surprise, Karina was not there. She was gone.

There was an answer coming from the kitchen.“Yes, I’m still up, I’m here.” She replied. Declan followed the sound of her voice and saw her there about to make some instant noodle.“I forgot to get some grocery earlier so now there’s nothing to eat and I haven’t had dinner, so I thought I’d make something quick.” She told him but Declan threw the package to the trash and placed the meal he brought on the table instead.“I won’t let you eat that junk, Karina. Here, I got you dinner. You are a pregnant woman, you need to eat properly.” Karina walked over to open up the meal and she drooled when she saw a perfectly tender piece of steak in the box.A smile
