Maggie entered Nelvan's ward while Lynda happened to be feeding him, creating an impression to Maggie that the two were a deeply loving couple, when in fact, Lynda was doing it at Nelvan's request, who pretended to be spoiled knowing Maggie would come."Now, I no longer need to worry about you," Maggie said as she approached. "I was only gone for a few hours, but you're already like this. Where is the care that usually follows you, letting you get injured like this?" she continued.Nelvan let out a low sigh. Maggie said she wouldn't worry, but her words conveyed the opposite."Let's say I'm just having a stroke of bad luck," Nelvan replied curtly. Lynda looked at Nelvan in surprise, wondering why he spoke to his own mother like that."Excuse me, it seems like you two need to talk alone," Lynda interjected, but Nelvan grabbed the girl's hand to prevent her from leaving."Stay here; you haven't finished feeding me," Nelvan said.Maggie smiled meaningfully as she looked at her son. "Alri
Rain in the spring was common, a black BMW car sliced through the city streets in the evening before finally turning into a house with a tall gate and a very spacious yard.Due to Nelvan's stubbornness, the man had now chosen to be treated at home. Lynda and Hans sat in the front seats before the car had come to a complete stop.Hans quickly got out of the car to help Nelvan, but the man refused, "Is my mother at home?" Nelvan asked."I made sure your mother went to Washington this afternoon," Hans replied.Nelvan got out of the car without assistance, and Lynda had no intention of helping as Nelvan had previously rejected Hans' help. With slow steps, Nelvan walked into the house.The two now walked behind Nelvan, "Do you think he's childish?" Hans asked.Lynda turned, "A bit," she replied, then looked at Nelvan, who was now sitting on the sofa, his shoulders leaned back with his head slightly tilted, one hand holding the part of his stomach that had not fully healed from Romy's stab.
Several years ago.At that time, Nelvan was only twenty years old when he and his friends separated on their way home. The time showed 07.00 PM but the sun was still shining brightly as if it were daytime when summer had arrived."Are you going home?" Nelvan turned around, looking for the source of the voice speaking to him. A girl walked towards him with a beautiful smile on her lips."Hm, where are you from?" Nelvan asked back, and they walked together in the same direction.The girl looked at Nelvan with a smile, "I want to go somewhere. Oh, tomorrow is my birthday, so you have to come and give me the most special gift that I have never received before, you understand?" she said.Nelvan chuckled, his hand wrapped around the girl's shoulder as he nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will give you the most special gift," he replied."Then I want you to promise me, you must always love me no matter what happens because I have liked you since I was a child, you must be responsible for
"Please, for a few days while your wound hasn't dried, avoid heavy activities. I suggest that for the next two days, you also don't take a bath but use a wet cloth to clean your body if you want," a doctor changed the bandage on the right side of Nelvan's abdomen."Is the wound too deep? I don't feel pain, just discomfort when I move," Nelvan said.The doctor, who had finished changing the bandage, packed up his tools, "Only a few centimeters deep, so it's normal to feel discomfort, but it seems you are a sports enthusiast, so it's likely that the wound on the side of your abdomen will heal faster. I have changed the bandage, and if you need anything, please call me again. Well then, I'll take my leave," the doctor bid farewell to Nelvan.Nelvan nodded his head, the doctor left, escorted by Hans, while inside, Lynda stood silently. When Nelvan turned to her, Lynda realized she had to leave too."I didn't tell you to leave," exclaimed Nelvan, and spontaneously Lynda stopped before turn
Lynda noticed about three people coming to Nelvan's house with Hans. The three of them were new maids who would work in the house to assist Lynda so she wouldn't have to work alone anymore."Are they starting today?" Lynda whispered to Hans."Of course," Hans turned to Lynda, "Didn't Nelvan tell you about it?" Hans asked back.Right, Lynda almost forgot that she had to focus on serving Nelvan without doing other household chores, but there was still something on Lynda's mind, so she went to find Nelvan in his office."Mr. Xander,"Nelvan turned, "Have they arrived? If they have, you can sit quietly," Nelvan said before returning to work on a Mac on the table."What should I do then?" Lynda asked.Nelvan's hand movement pressing the buttons on the keyboard stopped, he slightly lifted his head to look at Lynda, "I think I've already told you about the new job you have to do," Nelvan replied."Are you asking me to pretend to be your partner in front of Mrs. Maggie?" Lynda asked again to
Lynda left Nelvan's house after asking for permission to go home. Tomorrow is her birthday, and as usual, Lynda will have a small celebration with Mia and Allexin."Allexin, has Mia arrived?" Lynda exclaimed as she entered the not-so-large house where she lived with her brother.Allexin ran up to Lynda, "You're here? Did you meet Mia on your way here?" Allexin asked in return.Lynda shook her head, "Wait a moment, let me send a message to Mia, maybe she's already on her way," Allexin nodded as he saw Lynda already holding her phone."I've prepared the ingredients to make the cake. Instead of buying one, I prefer your homemade cakes, so while waiting for Mia, how about we make the cake first?" Allexin suggested."Okay," Lynda placed her shoulder bag on the chair, went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and then took the flour and other ingredients to make the cake. The siblings were busy making the cake together, until a few minutes later, they heard a shout from outside the door."I'm h
Night had arrived, Lynda's homemade cake was beautifully decorated, while Allexin and Mia had also adorned Lynda's house simply. The three of them took a photo together with Lynda holding her birthday cake.Allexin and Mia cheerfully sang a birthday song, each wearing a party hat. Lynda closed her eyes and made a wish for her twentieth birthday before blowing out the candles on the cake."I have a special gift for you," Mia took a box from a paper bag hidden in Allexin's room."I didn't see you coming with this earlier," Lynda replied as she received the gift from her friend. Mia hinted at Allexin, "I hid it in your brother's room," Mia said.Not to be outdone, Allexin also gave a gift to Lynda, "This is your birthday present from your mischievous little brother. I hope at your new age, you'll receive the best gift from God." Allexin said."Thank you, I'm very curious about the gifts you both gave me. Can I open them?" Lynda asked.Mia and Allexin nodded. Lynda opened Mia's gift first
Like a strange dream, Lynda had just left her house this morning when suddenly Nelvan picked her up without asking for Hans' help. The plane they were on was about to land.Lynda turned to Nelvan, who was busy opening his tablet screen. When Nelvan said he would take her with him to Seattle, he went straight to the airport without giving Lynda time to prepare anything. So, all she had with her was the gift Hans and Mia had given her the night before."Mr. Xander, I—""Don't worry, all your needs have been taken care of if that's what you're afraid of because you didn't have time to prepare," Nelvan said without looking at Lynda. Still looking at the tablet screen, he continued, "Remember not to call me Mr. Xander for a while. Just get rid of the formal language you often use with me."Lynda didn't say anything except for a slow nod. Nelvan didn't even see her nod because he was focused on his tablet screen. Lynda looked to the right and left, hoping to find Hans on the same plane, but
