Elissa was still burying her lips. Her heart trembled violently with a very soothing quake. Elissa still kissed Edgar. She hoped that her husband would wake up soon. One teardrop flowed down Elissa's cheek. The tears dripped down Edgar's cheeks.

Elissa raised her head. She looked at Edgar and then kissed the man's cheek. Edgar was still silent. He did not move an inch even though the ends of Elissa's hair caressed his face.

"Wake up, Honey!" said Elissa.

Her hand also caressed Edgar's face. She observed Edgar's handsome face, which was utterly calm. The stern and soothing look always made Elissa angry, but now it continues to make Elissa miss.

Edgar was still closed. The patient monitor showed that Edgar's condition was stable. There was no indication of a decline in condition. But he also did not show any improvement. Edgar remained as still as the dead.

Elissa sat up. She wiped her tears and then exhaled. She had been here for almost three days. She controlled all her business from

    Elissa's hand held the spoon. She took the porridge and the side dish."Aa!" said Elissa as she stuck her mouthful into Edgar's mouth.Edgar smiled. He glanced at his wife and gobbled up the porridge until he almost ate the whole spoon."Slow down!" chided Elissa.Edgar chuckled. "Eating from someone else's hand is more enjoyable, let alone being fed by my wife."Elissa smiled. She pinched Edgar's cheek, "The flirting will come later! Wait until you get better!"Edgar nodded."Let's finish eating the porridge!" said Elissa. She took the porridge back and fed it to Edgar again.Edgar sighed. He did not think that all his sadness had ended. Now, there was Elissa beside him, a wife who used to marry him only because she had to. Elissa had changed entirely. She no longer looked as jutting as before. Even now, she is willing to feed Edgar and wait for him until he recovers. An event that even Edgar considered impossible."I'm not really dead, am I?"Elissa, who was stirring porridge, turne

    "Where have you been?" asked Edgar when Elissa returned."I had some business for a while. Want to see?"Edgar raised his eyebrows. His forehead wrinkled. "See? See what?" asked Edgar.Elissa took the TV remote. She fiddled with the TV and watched one of the Indonesian TV stations.Edgar tried to sit down. Elissa immediately helped him. Elissa even put her head close to Edgar's side. Dr. Clint said that happiness would make Edgar recover faster. So, asking this to the man Elissa met was indeed the perfect plan. After all, she didn't want him to spend too long in the hospital. Just wanting a hug, Edgar was already screaming in pain. She also couldn't sleep next to her husband."Drink first!" suggested Elissa.Edgar shook his head. "I'm not thirsty yet," he gently refused."Drink! If you drink it later, the water might not go in," continued Elissa.Edgar was even more confused by his wife's words. He accepted the glass from Elissa and drank slowly."It's Breaking News time for today. Th

    "What are you reading?" asked Mika as she approached Naia, lying on her stomach with a book.Naia did not answer. Her eyes were busy exploring every text in the book she had just bought. It's been twelve years since Naia liked Edgar. She has also done everything she can to get him, so why does it fail?In high school, she was just a geeky kid who wore glasses, and her hair was always braided in two. Naia has no friends. For her, her friends were just books. It's just that she never thought that books alone were not enough to survive in school. She continued to be bullied and ostracized.At first, Naia never cared about it as long as she continued to get first place in her school. For her, ranking first could make her close to the teacher and silence everyone. That method always worked until she entered high school. Many people far exceeded her expectations. In that school, there are many smart students and many friends. Then Naia's performance dropped. Not down because she suddenly be

    "Cheers to the first parallel champion from the science department!" said the principal during the morning assembly.Naia came forward proudly. Finally, after a year of only coming second, she could now come first again. Her smile could not go down at all. And only this time did she feel satisfied and pleased. The tip of her eyes could not escape Edgar, who stood in the front row while clapping his hands."You're not giving up this first place, are you?" asked Naia as she held up her report card.Edgar raised his hand. "Oh, no. There is no way I would willingly give up first place to someone else. Moreover, the prize from school is a lot of money," said Edgar.Naia smiled embarrassedly. "That's good. If you find out that I didn't get this ranking because of my hard work but because you are sorry, watch out!" Naia said while showing her fist.Edgar laughed. He then looked at his friends, who called him while carrying a basketball. Edgar said hello back."I'll go first!" he said.Naia j

    "Can you walk by yourself?" asked Elissa while holding Edgar.Edgar looked up at Elissa. His lips blossomed, his face smiling. "Let alone walking; I'm already strong enough to carry you!"A flick came out of Elissa's hand and directly hit Edgar's forehead."Auch!" Edgar groaned."If it still hurts, don't be pretentious!" scolded Elissa.But instead of Edgar being discouraged, he grinned. His eyes stared at Elissa. He pulled both ends of his lips. Then, when Elissa was busy checking the things in her bag, Edgar carried Elissa. Elissa screamed in surprise."Get off me!" she refused."I'll get you down when we get to the car," Edgar insisted."Edgar!" shrieked Elissa as she tried to free her body from Edgar's embrace."No, no, no. You're already tired of taking care of me; let me take care of you," Edgar argued.Elissa was both annoyed and worried that Edgar would get sick again, but on the other hand, she felt very comfortable. She looked at her husband angrily and turned to look at him

    "Did you wait long?" asked Edgar as he brought a tray with several skewers of Shish Kebab and two glasses of Jahlab. They sat down and looked around.Many people were passing by on Hamra Street. There are also many street vendors lining the street. There was an 'I Love Beirut' sign on the side of the road. But she didn't seem interested. Edgar thought that Elissa must prefer something other than taking pictures. After all, she could come here anytime.Elissa shook her head. Her hand was about to take a skewer of Shish Kebab. It's called kebab, but it's more like Satay in Indonesia. Shish Kebab uses young goat meat with Lebanese spices. But before she could take it, Edgar intervened."To start our life as husband and wife for real, tonight you can't eat with your hands. I won't eat with my hands either."Elissa tilted her head. "Honey, this is the Lebanese version of Satay. How do you feed it?"Edgar smiled. "Take one!" he asked.Elissa took one Shish Kebab skewer. Edgar then opened hi

    "Why do I have to work overtime on my first day back?" she regretted. She stretched her body and neck. It felt like her body was crumbling. There were so many things she had to revise and evaluate. Some clients protested why the quality of the lashes did not match the product details. There was also an employee who resigned suddenly. Fortunately, she just checked all the reports, and most solutions had already been found. Otherwise, Elissa would have been asleep in the office by now.She handed the keys to her driver. The driver immediately rushed to her car and took it to the back of the house, where all the cars were parked. She got in. The first thing she saw was darkness.Elissa frowned. Her house was like this. Her family needed to arrive on time to pay for electricity. Ever since she was a little girl, she had never heard the sound of electricity tokens asking to be charged."Dad, Mom?"There was no answer. Elissa's forehead furrowed further.

    Although Edgar didn't know what Hunter had promised Fritz, Edgar tried to remain calm. He wasn't going to stay undercover forever. Besides, the police and Desmond's security forces would soon arrive. Edgar only needed to find Elissa.Edgar watched every shape of the building. The building before him was a fairytale palace with towering towers and still black bricks. The structure was dominated by Greek architecture. Or even all of them had Greek flavor. Only one is not—the two date palms planted before the palace gate. According to Edgar, Fritz seemed to want to combine the two concepts of the princess kidnapped by the dragon and the princess from Aladdin's fairy tale."So, where is the gift you promised?" asked Fritz.Edgar was still calm. "You invited me all the way here just to collect a promise. You didn't serve me food first?""Oh right. Let's eat first while talking."Edgar laughed. "It's been a while since we talked together, right?""Yeah. But if you don't bring that gift, you

    "What about Elissa, Bhim?" asked Edgar when Bhima finally visited the hospital.Edgar could now do anything. The doctor also advised him to start taking small steps. Fortunately, the fracture wasn't too severe, so the recovery period was also expected to be short."That's why I came to see you, Young Master. Today we'll be heading to Fritz's private island," Bhima reported."Tell me where it is!" he ordered."Sorry, Young Master. But I'm only here to tell you that. I'm not allowed to tell you the details.""Bhima. Where do you think I'm going? My leg still hasn't healed. My chest still hurts because my ribs still haven't healed. I just want to know how you plan to get Elissa back. Who knows, I can add to some of your plans that might be lacking," said Edgar.Bhima began to look hesitant."Anyway, Bhim.

    Elissa knocked on Tory's room. She already had a plan to get out of here. What mattered to her now was that Fritz didn't always fixate on her."Miss Queen?" asked Tory in disbelief.She smiled. She hurriedly entered and locked the door. She didn't want the bodyguard Fritz had sent to follow her into Tory's room. No one should know her plan.During the night, Elissa thought about several possibilities. Although there was still a possibility of failure and the success Lissae depended on Tory herself, this was the only way she could think of for now. Elissa did not want to be confined here forever. Even though all her needs and luxurious things were fulfilled on this island, she still wanted to be with Edgar."What does Miss Elissa want? Do you want me to check on you again? Does Mr. Fritz want it?""I want to get straight to the point. Do you really love Fritz?"Tory's face turned red again. She also covered her face with her hands again.

    Edgar kept thinking about something while lost in the forest and walking without direction. Why did all this happen? Edgar continued translating everything that happened until he realized that what Elissa said was true. Araf had planned something.Without a plan, there would be no climb to Rinjani. Without Araf planning it, there was no way Naia would suddenly be kind to Elissa. Naia would have preferred Elissa to be exhausted and unable to reach the summit. With Araf planning it, Mika would bring a particular mountain communication device and contact Fritz directly.Edgar only realized it after he repeatedly fainted from falling into the ravine. He regretted being so trusting of one person.Araf was speechless. No matter how neatly he prepared his plan, it would be revealed someday. Like a buried carcass, one day, it will leave an odor. Edgar is not a fool; he must have realized it quickly."I'm sorry. I had dark eyes. I thought you would never be happy with Elissa. I thought she wou

    Bhima took off his mask. His hands were bruised. He was tired of beating so many people. The members under him were the same. They sat with their legs bent, resting. This day was already the fifth base they visited, but there was no sign of Fritz. Not even one of Fritz's men knew where his boss was."Check if there are any clues. I want to check Fritz's room one more time!" Bhima said.It had been almost a week since he went around looking for where Fritz was. He only found Elissa's picture in all the buildings he came across. And the headquarters in San Francisco was the same. There was nothing that stood out. Fritz's seat even looked like a regular office.Bhima entered Fritz's room once again. He looked around. Everything was a mess. Fritz's desk had also been destroyed. Cabinets, walls, and even the ceiling had been broken. But there was nothing suspicious. Everything inside was always the same. It only contained clothes and trinkets.Bhima lifted the cupboard that he had knocked

    Ira continued Desmond's struggle. She started to meet the people behind Fritz. Ira was fed up with just being a behind-the-scenes supporter. She was also fed up that her son was now in Fritz's hands, and no one knew where she was. Only Bhima could track her down, which might take a long time.Ira contacted her acquaintances. She asked for help to collect any evidence of Fritz's crimes. Ira also has a hacker acquaintance. She needed information from an authority and digital data about Fritz's financial statements. If Ira's suspicions were correct, Fritz should never have paid taxes."Where are we going, ma'am?" the driver asked."We're meeting this person!" said Ira as she showed the photo and sent the address to the car's direction system."Are you sure, ma'am? He's nothing more than a deceitful loan shark.""There is no more time. Edgar needs Elissa and she needs to be by his side.

    Edgar fell. His legs were no longer strong enough to walk. No matter where he went, he couldn't find water. Edgar sat down. He leaned against a tree. He took the bottle of mineral water that was left. He opened it slowly and drank a little. He didn't know when he would get out of this wilderness.Edgar knew that if he got lost on the mountain, the fastest way to return was to return to the top. But in his current condition, that was not possible. It was also impossible for him to return to the path he used yesterday to climb to the top.Edgar didn't know how long he had been here. He also needed to find out what day it was. The last thing he remembered was chasing after Elissa, who Fritz had brought. Edgar hoped that Elissa would be okay.Edgar took a breath. He picked at the young leaves beside him—the easiest way to have a little energy. There were only 500 milliliters of mineral water left in his bag.

    "Is this really Edgar's shirt?" asked Jef.Araf nodded. He couldn't have forgotten that Edgar loved the soccer team with the blue shirt. He also loved the number 9. Even though this shirt was torn and covered in blood, there was still the name 'GAR' written on the back of the shirt."Is he still alive?" asked Araf in a trembling tone.This shirt was already tattered. Its shape was also out of the body. When Araf was resting and drinking, he saw this shirt stuck on a tree."The possibility is still 50:50. This shirt got stuck on the tree because maybe a monkey carried it. Unfortunately, there are still blood stains on this shirt, which means Edgar was injured," Jef explained.He reported his findings. Simultaneously, the search began to center around the river and the landslide. The sound of flying drones and helicopters could be heard. Drones began combing again, looking for Edgar's body heat from a height of 20 meters. Meanwhile, helicopters began to monitor from a high altitude."I
