A few hours later, they arrived in Singapore and headed straight to the hospital. Xander underwent a series of intensive examinations.
The doctor treating Xander, Dr. Lim, provided a detailed explanation of the condition and the steps that need to be taken for treatment.
Xander, from the initial examination results, we found that your heart condition requires immediate attention. We will conduct some additional tests to ensure the appropriate course of treatment.
"Okay, Doctor." I am ready to undergo all the necessary tests.
Kayla held Xander's hand tightly. "We will follow everything the doctor says." You will receive the best care here. In her heart, the woman monologued, "You must not die yet because there is no treasure under my control at all."
Dr. Lim smiled and replied. "You are in good hands, Ms. Kayla." We will do our best for Xander.
After a series
Michael needs to marry someone from a good family who can help him build a better future. I choose Liza. Her family is a respectable family. The girl also looks very beautiful and they have been dating several times."I agree." How about we start discussing the wedding date with Liza's family? She is a good girl and her family is very respectable, there shouldn't be any special obstacles, right? Michael's father put down his newspaper and looked at his wife with a serious expression."That's a good idea." But there's one problem: Nayla. I'm sure Michael is very attached to that widow."You have to do something." Make Nayla stay away from Michael."But, what should I do, Dad?" Mrs. Nayla looked at her husband's face with a confused expression.Ha ha, easy. What could a woman with the status of a widow like her possibly want? If she wants money, then give her money; if she wants a
Nadira, who was starting to regain consciousness, slowly opened her eyes and saw her older sister crying."Sister Nayla, what's wrong?" Why are you crying?Nayla wiped her tears, "It's nothing, just thinking hard.""Brother, no matter what happens, you have to be happy." Don't sacrifice your happiness for me.Nayla smiled sadly, kissing her sister's forehead, "I will do what is best for both of us, Nadira." I promise."With a heavy heart, Nayla realized that she had to make a very difficult decision. She held the check tightly, knowing that her brother's future depended heavily on her decision.Nayla contacted Michael while walking towards the administration office. With tears and a heavy heart, she steeled herself to do what she thought was best."Michael, I need to talk to you." Nayla's voice sounded hoarse a
Nayla smiled weakly, "It's okay, Nadira." "There's just a lot on my mind.""Brother, you are always there for me." I want you to know that I'm here for you too. You can tell me everything.Nayla felt touched by her brother's attention. She decided to share part of what happened."I will stop the project with Michael." I have to make a difficult decision for the sake of both of us. But sometimes, I feel like that decision is breaking my own heart."Why?" Is there a problem with the project? Doesn't it generate quite a bit of money?Nayla fell silent and felt even more despondent at her younger sibling's words; they indeed needed a considerable amount of money at this time. The check given by Michael's mother was only enough to cover Nadira's medical expenses for the next month.Seeing her older brother's silence, Nadira finally continued her sentence, "Bro, no matter what happens, you have to stay strong." I believe in
Meanwhile, Nayla sat beside Nadira's bed, still feeling pressured by yesterday's events. She looked at her sleeping sister, trying to find peace in her chaotic mind.Suddenly, her phone rang. Nayla looked at the screen and saw a message from one of her colleagues in the production team, informing her that he had heard news about Michael and Liza's wedding."Nayla, I heard Michael and Liza are getting married soon." Are you okay?Nayla felt her heart break once again. She knew that this might be the best decision for Michael, but she felt very downcast because she couldn't be by the side of the person she loved."No problem." "I will congratulate him," Nayla replied in a flat voice."I thought you and he were a couple, you look very close.""Hmm, we are just friends." How is the production going?"That's it, Nay." Our work might be temporarily halted due to your and Michael's absence. There are still two ses
"I stepped back because I know my life won't be long." I also know Nayla means more to you. I buried this heartache deep because I thought it was the best for everyone. But now, you're not even with Nayla and have married someone else?Michael felt a tightness in his chest upon hearing Nadira's confession. He never realized Nadira's true feelings."Nadira, I really don't know." I never meant to hurt your feelings. I... I'm sorry.""Sorry?" Michael, sorry I can't erase these feelings. I see you every day, wanting you, but you always look at Nayla. And now, everything is in chaos. You left Nayla and chose someone you don't even love.What does all this mean? Are our feelings just a toy to you?Michael felt very guilty and didn't know what else to say. He lowered his head, feeling shattered by all this reality."I... I don't know what else to do, Nadira." I'm just trying to do what my family thinks is best."M
He really wanted to know Nayla's feelings for him because all this time, Nayla had only ever said that she cared for and liked him but never said she loved him.¿No?Nayla met Michael's gaze and started to feel awkward. Slowly, she brushed off Michael's hand that was holding hers. "I love Zavier and he is the only man who has captured my heart," Nayla finally said.Even though she felt her heart was shattered, she justified herself by saying that she had only ever loved Zavier."You should be happy with Liza." She is a woman who could be the perfect companion for you," Nayla continued to break the silence that was starting to form."Nayla, maybe everything is still too fast, although I am sure you have the same feelings for me." However, never doubt that I will always love you. If one day things change, I hope we can find our way back."I also hope so, Michael." But for now, we have to accept and apprecia
Zavier kissed Nayla gently and began to unbutton her shirt one by one."I heard you clearly say that you love only me," Zavier said while skillfully maneuvering around his wife's body.Nayla felt embarrassed by her confession, the woman smiled weakly and began to return Zavier's embrace, feeling relieved even though her heart was still filled with many questions and worries.They had marital relations without any coercion. The creaking hospital bed made Nayla feel embarrassed, but she loved the man very much.Even though she knows that Zavier will marry again and might go through a divorce, let today be the final union for her because she has missed Zavier all this time.The touch of the man who became her husband felt soft and warm, wrapping her in a complex passion of love. The deep union drained all her energy, but this time, she received Zavier's seed because the man didn't bring any protection and they did it in the hospita
"No, this is not because of Michael." This is about us. We haven't understood each other for a long time. I need the freedom to find myself."Nayla, I love you!" I have worked hard to maintain this marriage. No! I will not get divorced!"I know, Zav." I know you have tried. But we can't force this feeling. I also love you, but as a friend. Not as a husband. Aren't you going to get married? You will become Sefia's husband."Zavier took a deep breath, holding back the boiling anger within him. He looked at Nayla with eyes full of pain."I can't accept this, Nayla." I can't just give up like this."I'm not asking you to give up, Zav." I'm just asking you to understand. This is the best for both of us.Zavier got up from his seat, pacing back and forth in the living room. Finally, he stopped and looked at Nayla with a gaze full of determination.
Zavier sighed, then looked at Nayla seriously. “I just don't want anyone else to take my place in your heart, even if it's just as a friend or a doctor.”Nayla took Zavier's hand, holding it tightly. “No one can take your place. You're the only one, darling.”Zavier grabbed Nayla's cheek and gave her a warm kiss. They both smiled, realizing the love with a strong bond between them.Moments later, they stepped out of the hospital with hopeful hearts, ready to face the next days together, though the shadow of jealousy still lingered in Zavier's mind.In the black luxury car that drove quietly, Zavier sat next to Nayla, holding his wife's frail hand with great care.Mando, their trusted bodyguard, focused on driving the car through the crowded streets. Just a few meters away from the hospital, Zavier breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little comfortable that he could bring Nayla home.However, the next second, a loud r
“Hmm, of course. I need to get well so I can take care of my Nayla again.” Zavier deliberately emphasized the suffix -ku because he wanted to know that Nayla was absolutely his.Doctor Bram only smiled slightly in response to all of Zavier's words. He was more focused on how to make the tense man's body limber.“Let's rest for a while. I'll be back with a cup of coffee for you,” said Doctor Bram.A moment later, Doctor Bram arrived with two cups of coffee and some dry bread.They sat on the side while enjoying their drinks.However, when they took a short break, Bram unknowingly uttered a sentence that made the atmosphere even more tense. “Nayla really is a strong and amazing woman,” he said with a faint smile. “And of course, she's very beautiful.”Zavier's eyes immediately lit up with anger. That simple sentence, though probably not ill-intentioned, touched a sensitive spot in him. “Wha
Kayla snorted, sounding unimpressed. “Angry or not, this is no time to act recklessly. Remember, Sefia, you need me to accomplish your goals. Don't make me lose my temper.”Sefia nodded, even though she knew Kayla couldn't see her. “I'll be more careful,” she said in a resigned tone.“Good,” Kayla replied, then hung up without waiting for further answers.Sefia sat on the edge of the bed, feeling frustrated and confused. She knew she had gone too far into this dangerous game, but she also realized that she had no choice but to follow Kayla - for now.However, in her heart, Sefia began to feel a subtle fear. What if Kayla decided to betray her?***The next day, Zavier arrived at the therapy room with mixed feelings. He knew that this therapy session was very important for him to recover and regain the ability to walk normally. However, when the therapy room door opened, Zavier was stunned to see who was st
Zavier did not answer. He only grasped Nayla's hand tighter, as if to emphasize that Nayla belonged to him. However, in his heart, he knew that this was more than just jealousy. It was a fear that kept haunting him - the fear that he might no longer be able to protect the woman he loved.Nayla felt the tension building up in the room. Her eyes moved from Zavier who looked angry and jealous in his wheelchair, to Doctor Bram who stood in a calm but firm manner. She knew that this situation could get worse if left unchecked.Gently, Nayla took Zavier's cold and trembling hand. “Zavier, please... calm down,” she said, her voice soft yet compassionate. “Bram was just trying to help me. Nothing else.”Zavier turned to her, still with a suspicious look in his eyes. “I know, Nayla... But I don't like seeing you in his arms,” he replied in a low yet sharp tone, his voice almost breaking with feelings of jealousy and helplessness.
Nayla, who was resting, was surprised by Sefia's sudden presence. Before she could say anything, Sefia had already approached quickly and then reached out and grabbed Nayla's hair roughly. “You think you can take everything from me, Nayla?” Sefia shouted, her face bright red, full of anger.Nayla was shocked and in pain, losing her balance and falling off the bed. She winced, trying to protect her head from Sefia's hard grip. “Let go, Sefia!” Nayla shouted, trying to fight back despite her weak body.At that moment, Doctor Bram happened to be walking towards Nayla's room to visit. Hearing the noise from inside, he immediately opened the door and saw the chaotic situation.“Hey! What are you guys doing? Stop this now!” exclaimed Doctor Bram in a stern voice.He quickly stepped in and pulled Sefia away from Nayla. “That's enough, Sefia! This is a hospital, not a place for fighting!” he said while trying to cal
Sefia took out her cell phone and called Kayla. Telling her everything that happened with some spice of course.“So you're going to help me again?” Sefia asked at the end of their conversation.“Of course, you wait and see. No need to respond to anything while it's happening. Focus and go see how Zavier is doing and give him your attention.”Kayla spoke firmly and as if victory was already there.“Doctor Bram, right? It's easy business then.” Kayla's words sounded clear and firm, making Sefia start to feel relieved and supported.The call was completed and Sefia smiled with satisfaction. She could already be relieved to fall asleep.Meanwhile, Zavier heard the shocking news about Nayla. Without waiting any longer, he immediately rushed to the patient room, where Nayla was being treated.Arriving there, Zavier in his wheelchair saw Nayla lying on the bed with a pale face and tired eyes. A bandage was
When a doctor came out of the treatment room, Bram immediately approached. “How is he, Doc?” he asked in a hoarse voice.The doctor sighed, looking at Bram with a serious expression. Of course he knew Doctor Bram well.“Nayla has second degree burns on several parts of her body. Although the wounds are not too severe, we still have to do intensive care to prevent infection and aid her recovery.”Bram nodded, trying to compose himself.“His face is unharmed, just a little on his calves and back,” the doctor continued.“I want to make sure she gets the best care,” he said in a firm tone. “Whatever is needed, I will provide it.”The doctor nodded and patted Bram's shoulder sympathetically before heading back inside the treatment room.Bram shifted his gaze to the other room at the end of the corridor, where Sefia was being treated. The wound on Sefia's face looked quite severe,
Sefia laughed in a low, triumphant tone and threw a match onto a pile of straw that had been set up not far from where Nayla and Joen lay.As the flames began to lick at the weathered walls of the hut. Thick smoke soon filled the air, covering their vision with a suffocating blanket of darkness.Bayu was startled and immediately returned to the hut. Bayu struggled against panic, his body tense as he tried to drag Joen and Nayla away from the fire, out of harm's way.“You're crazy, Sefia!” shouted Bayu again, his voice hoarse from the smoke and mounting anger. A semi-conscious Joen coughed, trying to understand what was happening.Sefia just looked at Bayu with a cold stare. “I did what had to be done,” she said firmly. “We can't keep waiting, Bayu. It's the only way to make sure they won't hunt us down.”Bayu gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to retaliate against Sefia with just as much anger. “This isn
“When can I see Joen?” he asked in a voice trembling violently, with a tone full of hope and curiosity.Sefia laughed softly. “You'll get the hint soon enough. But for now, let's make sure everything stays under control. I'll tell you the next step,” she said while looking at the recording. Checking that there weren't any mistakes.Nayla stood anxiously and frustrated, hoping and praying that Joen would return to her soon without having to go through more dangerous games from Sefia.Sefia, still with a sly smile on her face, took out a water bottle from her bag. “Now, Nayla, drink this,” she said as she held out the bottle.“Obey, and I will take you to see Joen.”Nayla looked doubtfully at the bottle. “What did you put in this water?” she asked, her voice trembling with fear.Sefia just laughed lightly. “Oh, nothing dangerous. Just something that will make you feel more... re
