Semua Bab The Luna's Awaken Angel : A Battle of Revenge : Bab 11 - Bab 20

For the next several days, Emily and Alex were busy planning and strategizing to overcome the obstacles surrounding her father's surgery. With Alex's steadying presence, Emily felt new hope as they sought out contacts for assistance in monetary concerns and also discussed fundraising options. One afternoon, while sprawled with spreadsheets and notes on the desk in Alex's office, Emily sat back to admire the way Alex worked, absorbed in thought. For a while now, he had been trying to juggle the campaign with her affairs amid this crisis, and she was really thankful for that. "Okay, we've made a few appeals to some local businesses to donate, but we really need to start thinking bigger," Alex tapped with his pen on the paper as he spoke. "A benefit dinner, I think. Inviting community leaders, stakeholders, anyone who might like to contribute." "That is such a great idea!" Emily exclaimed, bubbling with excitement. "We can showcase some of the auction items we have collected and tell

As the doctor proceeded to explain in detail the procedure for Emily's father, reassuring him of the risks and expected outcomes, she felt relief with a touch of anxiety trying to digest all the words coming from the doctor's mouth."Do you have any questions before we begin?" the surgeon asked, looking at Emily."Just... how long will it take?" Although her heart was racing, she managed to keep her voice steady and calm."Typically, around three to four hours. We'll keep you updated throughout the process," said Dr. Hayes calmly and professionally.After asking her father a few more questions, the doctor nodded. "We're ready to take him in, Mr. Smith. We will see you soon."Watching her father being wheeled away, Emily fought back tears. Her heart ached as she thought of him being taken into the operating room. “I love you, Dad,” she called, her voice breaking with anguish. “I love you too, sweetheart. I will see you soon,” he said, his voice warm in spite of the circumstances. Onc

The party was winding down, the guests were leaving, and Emily was filled with fulfillment. She had seen her father recover; she had partied with the family; and she had grown ever closer to Alex. It was a vast unknown road that called to her now, and she embraced it gladly. Later that same night, while seated on the porch with Alex, the two watching the stars shine above, Emily turned to gaze upon him with an overflowing heart. Thank you for everything, Alex. You’ve been amazing through all of this."“I’m just glad I could be here for you,” he said, his eyes warm. “You’ve handled everything with such grace and strength. I admire that about you.”Warmth rushed through Emily at the sound of his words. “I could not have done it without you. You’ve been my rock.”As they held that quiet moment, she knew something beautiful had blossomed between them. They had weathered storms, thus standing at the brink of a new beginning.Leaning her head on his shoulder, she smiled, feeling content an

"This is amazing," said Alex, looking around. "And this is what I want to promote in our campaign: a sense of community and togetherness.”"Couldn't agree more," Emily said, pride swelling for their common vision. "These moments remind me why we are doing it."The progression of the evening saw them headed toward a booth for local charities. Emily's interest was piqued by the cause being discussed, and she felt a pull toward it. Together they approached the table and began chatting with volunteers.“Hello! We are promoting mental health resources in our community,” one of the representatives explained to them. “We are looking for ways to reach more people and give assistance.”An idea flickered in Emily's mind. “That is so important! I think we could collaborate on some events or workshops that promote awareness and education.”The representative's face lit up with excitement: “That would be amazing! We would love to partner with you!”With the exchange of contact information and disc

Much later that night, while sitting together on the couch, Emily broached the subject. "Alex, have you seen the comments on social media? Some people are really harsh."He sighed while running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I've seen them. It gets frustrating, but I'm trying to focus on the positive feedback and the support that we're getting." "I get that, but it is hard not to feel the weight of those negative voices," she said, heaviness in her heart. "I just want to protect what we built." Alex turned to her, his expression thoughtful. "That's nice of you, Emily. But we can't get derailed by negativity. There will always be critics, but what matters is that we stay true to our mission and our values." You are right, though. She said that, feeling the enthusiasm and resolve in her heart. "I just worry about you. I know how hard you are working, and I don't want you to burn out." "Believe me, I know the pressure I'm under. But I have you by my side, so it gets quite bearable,"
