The car Bryan was driving was traveling quickly through the deserted streets. The night drew in; Bryan's life was going nowhere, but the problems were not going away. He thought for a moment he could enjoy his and Shienna's time together, but the opposite was true. Too much drama got in the way and took away from his time with his wife. Could this all be atonement for their past sins so that God would not send help to them and let them continue to fall into trouble? Shienna and Bryan rushed into a building and met Edward, who was already in a cell. In a matter of days, the police managed to find out who the mysterious shooter was, which left Jun dying in the hospital. "Ed, how are you?" Bryan asked, still looking pale, but he couldn't let his best friend be in trouble. "You don't have to worry, buddy. I'm fine. Go home and get some rest." Edward then turned to Jennifer, who sat huddled in front of Edward's cell. "You too, Jennie. You're pregnant, so don't overthink. Go home.
Bryan's car stopped in the courtyard of a building that should have been familiar to Shienna. However, Bryan initially blindfolded Shienna, not wanting his wife to know where they were going. Bryan helped Shienna down and walked until they arrived at a courtyard that had previously been an empty lot. Now, several construction workers were building a magnificent building that Bryan was sure would make Shienna happy if she knew about it. He removed Shienna's blindfold and showed her the building, which had reached 70% construction and would soon be finished. Bryan had asked the construction workers to finish immediately because he couldn't guarantee he would last much longer. Shienna was silent when she saw what was in front of her. The other building she had planned to build, though she was not sure for what purpose, was now almost fully erected. She turned to Bryan, he still smiling, content to see her eyes glaze over. He thought she must be touched and very happy. "I know yo
Shienna arrived at her old home, as she had left Bryan early in the morning, and when she entered the house, she found no one but a few women working in the wet kitchen in the back building. She checked the other rooms, but nothing. There was no sign of Bryan anywhere. "Are you looking for Mr. Sanders, ma'am?" asked one of the servants who had noticed Shienna pacing back and forth with a confused look since arriving home. "Yes. Do you know where he is? Did he leave a message for me?" "Mr. Sanders just said he had some business to attend to and asked you to have lunch first. He'll be back as soon as everything is done." Hearing the waiter's words, Shienna grew even more anxious. She wondered what kind of trouble Bryan was in that he wouldn't let her know. Bryan hadn't contacted her either. He must have panicked when he couldn't find her anywhere, but why wasn't he bombarding her with calls and messages? Shienna decided to wait despite her current feelings. Bryan was so weak
All eyes were wide and fixed on the woman standing before Bryan. There were no visible wounds, but then she was clutching a part of her body that was oozing fresh blood. Nearly staggering, Bryan scrambled to free himself from the man holding him, then rushed over to support his wife. "Shienna!" He called out her name in dismay, checking where on her body the gunshot had hit but found only a wounded arm. He took off his jacket and wrapped the wound. "Hold this tight, okay?" He let go of Shienna, who could sit up well because there were no severe injuries, which allowed Bryan to take care of other things he should have done earlier. He rushed at Jun, grabbing the man's windpipe and making him almost out of breath. "I should have finished you a long time ago, asshole! I let you live because of that lying bitch of yours. She seemed to pamper you so much that she was willing to lie and sleep with many men. To save you." Jun tried to shake off Bryan's hand, which kept a firm grip
Bryan had asked his confidant to check the locker, as Shienna had informed him, and found many things there. However, he agreed to keep Jun's files and belongings safe with a discreet guard. He had to ensure that Jun would release Edward from his charges. Jun eventually dropped the charges against Edward, saying that he had wrongly accused Edward while what happened to him was purely an accident. He also paid a high-ranking police officer who handled the case to acquit Edward. Edward was paroled today. Jennifer picked Edward up, but she and Bryan were reluctant to leave as they had other matters. Although Jun had withdrawn his charges, the case they were about to report was related to him. "I found this in Shienna's penthouse and my mom's room. I can't be sure who it belongs to because it's too small to check. Shienna said that gems like this are usually accessories or nail ornaments." Edward looked at the object in Bryan's hand before handing it to the police. "Why didn't
Shienna was on a fast-moving gurney in a semi-conscious state. She had been unconscious for some time after the doctor arrived and found her covered in blood with a penknife stuck in her right side. She could see the bright lights shining on her, and her eyes felt the glare. She closed her eyes for a moment, unable to bear the aches and pains in her waist and heavy eyes. "Shienna, open your eyes. Stay conscious. Shienna!" She kept hearing that voice calling her name. She had no idea where she was, but at a glance, she knew it was Ryan who was nearby. "Bryan..." Shienna murmured in a low voice. "Where is my husband?" "I'll let him know soon." Ryan was about to leave, but Shienna quickly grabbed his sleeve. "Please, don't say anything to him. Do the transplant now without telling him my condition. Can you do it?" "Uhm, Shie—" "Please, please... I'll survive. I promise. But Bryan won't get the same chance a second time. Please, Doc." Ryan turned to Shienna, who was also lo
Bryan finally agreed and immediately called Edward and he arrived with Jennifer. Neither of them spoke while waiting for Bryan and Shienna's surgery to go smoothly. The nurse came out of the operating room several times, which was when Edward asked how Shienna and Bryan were doing.A few hours passed, the light at the top of the operating door lit up in green, meaning the operation was complete. Edward got up and immediately saw the doctor who had just left the room. Ryan and several specialists who helped with the operation, looked hurried then only Ryan finally stopped for a moment to answer his friend's anxiety."How is he, Ryan?" asked Edward with a worried look that he couldn't hide. This was Bryan's second time having surgery and it always managed to make him so anxious."The surgery went well, we're just waiting for Bryan and Shienna to wake up.""Please put them in the same room, it will speed up their recovery," Jennifer requested to which Ryan immediately replied with a nod
Two months later... Shienna and Bryan were recovering from surgery. Bryan looked much better, and Ryan stated he was in good shape. Ryan gave him a lot of advice to appreciate what he had, including his health. However, there was something he did not tell Bryan but only Shienna. "Regarding the condition of the kidneys and other organs, I can say there is no problem. However, the test results show that his lupus is still active, and I advise him to stay on medication." "Won't that affect the condition of her kidneys? Logically speaking, his new kidneys are no longer the same as his, especially after the surgery. That means his condition will deteriorate at any time, right?" Shienna's face began to stiffen. Especially after seeing the response from Ryan, her body felt boneless. "You mean he'll still be going?" Ryan's silence made Shienna draw her conclusions about Bryan's condition. God only knew what condition Bryan would be in after this. He might survive, or he might not. Shien
"What happened to you, Shie? Let's go back to the room, hold on." Bryan held his wife, who no longer had the strength to resist, even to get away when once again the scent of Bryan's body disturbed her.She surrendered when Bryan laid her down on the bed and quickly grabbed her cell phone to call Ryan Karl."Yes, Bryan. My friend is already on his way. He called a few minutes ago. Please wait."Before they could finish their conversation, one of the servants knocked on the door and informed them that a doctor was waiting outside. Bryan asked the waiter to let the doctor in and conduct an immediate examination."Do you have nausea and vomiting almost every day?" the doctor asked as he placed a stethoscope on Shienna's chest and checked her pulse."Yes. Even like all the time. I don't like the smells I liked before and I think my sexual desire has decreased since then. I don't know," Shienna replied, throwing a look at her husband who was paying attention to every detail the doctor was
Bryan is still thinking about Amara after Edward's men surrounded and crashed her car into flames. However, there has been no further news regarding the incident so Edward concludes that Amara must have died on the spot.Meanwhile, Shienna didn't know anything about it. Bryan didn't want his wife to become agitated and think badly of Edward."Why do you look so nervous?" asked Shienna as she hugged Bryan from behind. "Did Ed tell you something bad?""Yes. But I wasn't thinking about that. I was just wondering what if we had another baby?" asked Bryan, who continued to look at Shienna with a loving gaze.Shienna was no longer afraid of having a baby, but would she be able to bear it if it was only their child who finally accompanied her through old age?Wouldn't it be a good idea to have something that came from Bryan so that she could remember him when he was gone?Bryan began their sacred ritual, fondling Shienna who never bored or tired him. Shienna is his strength, so even at his w
