Frans held onto Veronica's hand. He was aware that what he was about to say would reopen old wounds for his wife."In that crowd, I saw Veronica crying while hugging her unconscious mother, who lay on the ground. Similarly, Veronica's father was in a similar condition to her mother."Frans closed his eyes. The memories of that day came flooding back, causing him immense pain, especially when he thought about how it affected Veronica."And, Mom, you should know that Veronica's mother passed away. Her father entrusted Veronica to me. That's why I married Veronica, so that her mother could rest peacefully," Frans summarized his story, trying to spare Veronica from the full details, as it was still a painful memory for her.Reni absorbed this information, realizing that Veronica's mother had passed away. She had been searching for Tiana everywhere but hadn't had a chance to thank her. Reni gazed at the photo of her and Tiana, reminiscing about their closeness. She shared all the details o

While Gerald was busy shopping, he accidentally spotted Renald and Syella walking together, arm in arm. They seemed inseparable.Curious about their relationship, Gerald approached them and greeted them both.Surprised by Gerald's presence, Renald and Syella quickly tried to hide their awkwardness."How have you both been?" Gerald asked as they sat down at a cafe for a brief chat."As you can see, Ger, we're better than 'very good'," Renald replied."I can see and feel it. From your body language, I can already tell that there's happiness radiating from both of you.""Absolutely," Renald chimed in quickly. "Thanks to your wife, we've decided to get married right away. And now, Syella is two weeks pregnant. God has been so good; in less than two months, He has entrusted us with a child." He gently placed his hand on Syella's still-flat stomach.Gerald nodded, genuinely happy for Renald and Syella and the upcoming addition to their family. They were expecting a child before he, Frans, o

When Veronica got separated from Frans, Yogi quickly approached and stopped her."Veronica, wait!" he called out, gripping Veronica's wrist."Yogi?" Veronica tried to release her wrist from Yogi's grasp. She needed to meet her two brothers-in-law quickly to catch up with Bianca at the hospital."Just wait for a moment, Veronica. I beg you," Yogi pleaded."Okay, five minutes," Veronica finally managed to free her wrist. "Go on.""I know this is entirely inappropriate because you're married now. But I want to tell you something, something I've kept inside for a long time. I should have had the courage to say it to you.""Yogi, don't beat around the bush. I don't like that. Just say it directly. I don't have much time. I...""I've fallen in love with you," Yogi cut her off abruptly."What? Are you crazy, Yogi? Can't you see I'm pregnant, and you're confessing your feelings to me now? You're aware I'm married, right? So why are you risking it?" Veronica explained."I know you're married n

****Gerald didn't pay any attention when Frans called his name, so Frans had to chase after him, leaving Veronica with her brother. He asked Kirana to take Veronica home since she was tired and a little hungry."Ger! Where are you going?" Frans shouted, trying to catch up to Gerald as he was about to leave the hospital. Frans managed to grab Gerald's jacket at the end of the hallway."What's going on?" Frans was still trying to catch his breath."I don't want this marriage anymore!" Gerald replied, ripping his jacket off and tossing it at Frans."What is this all about? Your wife is lying weak in the hospital, and you say you don't want this marriage anymore?" Frans pushed Gerald roughly against the wall. He then grabbed the collar of Gerald's shirt. "Tell me what's going on.""I'll never be able to have children for the rest of my life, Frans. Not with Bianca as my wife. You know, she had a miscarriage, and her uterus couldn't be saved," Gerald explained. His chest felt heavy as he

"You're welcome, Mom," Veronica replied, nodding weakly.Seeing Veronica with her tiny baby in her household, Kirana felt a twinge of envy. She had longed for the same thing for quite some time now. She and Adrian had been seeking medical assistance everywhere. However, after five years, God had not yet blessed them with a child.Not long after Veronica was moved to the regular hospital room, Gerald and Bianca arrived. Both of them shared in the joy of this moment. Although Bianca already had a nephew, Arinda's child, a baby girl had a special charm of her own.Feeling fondness, Bianca asked Frans and Veronica for permission to hold their baby."What's her name, Veronica?" Bianca inquired, cradling the tiny baby closer to Gerald."We have two names prepared. However, we are still undecided about which one to give her," Frans replied. At this moment, Veronica lacked the energy to speak further. All she wanted right now was to sleep. However, the doctor requested that she stay awake a l
