Vio's nose smelled the pungent aroma of medicine. Vio wasn't sure how long she had been unconscious. One thing for sure, she was trying to open her eyes. Images of the events before she passed out flashed through her mind. "Have you found Kyra yet?" Vio heard a familiar baritone voice. He sounded panicked. How not, someone kidnapped his lovely daughter, and he has not found her until now. Vio tried to sit up. "How about Kyra?" Vio winced in pain. Her stomach, which was stabbed, had not fully recovered. One hand touched her stomach, and the other she used to support her body. Brian, who heard Vio's weak voice, immediately approached the woman. He immediately hung up the phone. Even though Brian hated Vio so much, he couldn't ignore it. The girl was sick because she tried to protect his daughter. "You don't move too much!" Now, his hands are trying to support Vio's body, so it doesn't collapse. The man's demeanour was no longer as stiff as before. "But, how about Kyra? I can't calm
Brian returns to the hospital. He didn't like Vio, but he still had a conscience. However, Vio was hurt because she helped his daughter. Brian couldn't just ignore it. "Where are you going from?" Vio asked shortly after seeing Brian enter her room. Brian had asked permission to call and had only been back in a few hours. When Vio asked the nurse, the nurse said Brian went and left Vio with her. "There's some business," Brian answered shortly. He didn't need to tell Vio everything. For him, she was nothing. "About Kyra?" Vio hopes she gets good news about her continued daughter. She was distraught. Those bad guys could stab her. Of course, they could hurt Kyra too. What if they sold Kyra's internal organs? Vio shuddered at the thought of it. "Yeah," Brian answered. "Have you found Kyra?" "Not yet." Vio took a deep breath. "I hope Kyra is okay. I can't imagine the kidnappers hurting the child." She felt sorry for not being able to protect Kyra adequately. Brian observed Vio's fac
Brian didn't expect his mother to come suddenly. His mother also got to see Brian together with Vio. Brian's heart was beating so fast that even cold sweat escaped from the pores of his skin. What should he tell his mother? "Mommy..." he said, caught in his throat. Even now, he was having a hard time swallowing his saliva. Vio was the same. She looked very scared when the middle-aged woman's sharp gaze pierced her heart. "Brian. Explain to Mommy all this." Amalia--Brian's mother--feels something odd about Brian's closeness to the young girl. This is the first time Amalia meets Vio, a beautiful girl who looks more like a foreigner than a native. Finally, now the three people were in the living room. They were silent for a long time. Vio had only been able to look down without being able to lift her face. She was afraid and also ashamed. How do other people rate their relationship? Moreover, the ones in front of her were Brian's parents. "Mommy is still waiting for your explanation,
Brian laid his mother on his bed. He immediately called the family doctor. Brian is worried about his mother. All the things he said today, Brian sure had a significant impact on his mother. "Shouldn't you take madam to the hospital?" Vio looked worriedly at her mother-in-law. Three big surprises must have made her mother-in-law's heart go bad. She, too, will experience the same thing if, in a day, she gets a barrage of surprises. Brian sighed heavily. He was at a loss as to what he should do. As if he couldn't think properly. "We are waiting for the doctor to come. Maybe the doctor will be here soon." The thirty-five-year-old man immediately sat on the side of the bed, holding his mother's hand. He couldn't bear to see his mother in such a state. Just as Brian had said, the doctor came not long after. Brian immediately got up, giving the doctor a place to examine his mother. "My mommy fell unconscious after receiving some shocking news, Doctor. I'm afraid her heart condition will
Vio left Brian's residence because she did not want to continue to hear the words that cornered her. She returned to the place where Kyra was kidnapped. Now, the grey-eyed girl was there in a taxi. Vio looked around; who knew there was CCTV there. Vio sighed in disappointment. What she was looking for was not there. She then headed to where the kidnapper had left the car—arriving at the river's edge, Vio's eyes probing again. She walked closer to the dusty car. She was very sure if the vehicle that brought Kyra. Vio even memorised the license plate even though it was a fake one. There's a police line there. Brian has indeed reported this to the police; which father doesn't panic when he finds out that someone has kidnapped his child. "What are you doing in this place?" A voice startled Vio, who was concentrating. "Brian!" Vio shouted in surprise. She felt strange why Brian was also in this place? "Why you are here?" Vio frowned. Wasn't Brian with his mother earlier? "When you wen
The police arrived not long after Brian called them. Several men in unique clothes immediately headed towards Brian. Brian told them everything he found in that place. The police accepted and started an investigation. Brian and Vio anxiously waited there. Vio wanted to follow the police to find traces of Kyra, but Brian didn't allow it. He was afraid something had happened to the woman. "Let's wait. I'm sure they'll find Kyra soon." Brian patted Vio's back. He couldn't bear to see the girl pacing incoherently. Vio let out a shaky breath. "I know they will find Kyra, but my heart doesn't feel at ease. What if they don't feed Kyra? Or worse...." Vio couldn't say what was on her mind. It was too horrific to tell. Brian also understood what Vio felt because he felt the same way. What if they had sold Kyra's body person? After waiting for half an hour, finally, Vio decided to follow where the policeman went. She couldn't be patient anymore. "Wait, Vio! Where are you going?" Brian scr
Again, Vio got terrible treatment from her mother-in-law. Even though Vio was reluctant to admit it, the middle-aged woman was still her mother-in-law. There was no way she could deny that. "You get out of here! You don't need to pretend you care about my granddaughter!" Amalia said with a tone full of anger. Somehow she still can't accept that Brian has married for the second time. "Madam, don't be angry too often. You'll get old soon." Vio smirked. She tried to keep a smile, but after that, Vio left the room. Amalia just glared when Vio teased her. "How dare she," she growled. Vio is just waiting in front of the inpatient room. After all, she had promised her husband to wait for Kyra. There was no way she had suddenly left that place. Vio waited quite a while. Brian came and looked at her strangely. "Why you are here?" Brian asked. "There's a Madam inside." "Mommy kicked you out?" Brian asked in a slightly high-pitched voice. Vio smiled. "No problem. I realise I'm nobody her
The relationship between Vio and Amalia improved. Amalia only wants kindness for her granddaughter. While Azzura was not home, Kyra must still be a mother's lover. Maybe Vio can replace her for a while. "Actually, where's your wife, Brian?" Amalia asked her son. She didn't want to believe that her daughter-in-law had run away. "If Brian knew, Brian would have found her, Mom." Brian feels desperate when his mother asks about his wife. So far, no news from her. "That's it. Keep looking for your wife. Mommy should go home first." Amalia deliberately didn't tell her husband about her granddaughter because her husband would be angry with Brian. Of course, Amalia still wants to protect her son. After his mother left, Brian walked toward his room. Before reaching his room, he passed his daughter's room. He peeked from behind the door. Vio was stroking Kyra's hair. The little girl seemed to have just fallen asleep. Since the kidnapping incident, Kyra has become close to Vio. Brian knew t
