Three adults ran through the hospital with extremely anxious faces. One of them was already in tears.They continued running regardless of the confused stares of the people staring at them and stopped at the surgery waiting room. Some people who were there spontaneously turned their heads but then turned their eyes back, looked down, and stared at the digital clock mounted on the wall. Only one person was still staring at them and slowly moved closer."Miss Jeslyn," Secretary Jorell called directly. The face that had always been serious now looked worried. "What happened?"When this question was asked, Jeslyn, who had been holding back tears, finally let them out. She crouched down with her face buried in the folds of her hands. Her sobs sounded heartbreaking and filled with fear.Clarita thinned her lips and crouched down, hugging Jeslyn with tears welling up. Chloe immediately averted her eyes and blinked several times, trying to stay strong.Seeing the two girls overcome with such
The doctor patted Jeslyn's shoulder with his other hand, trying to calm and encourage her. "For now, we can't be sure. But we will do well."After that, he walked away, followed by the nurse, who gave Jeslyn a faint smile.Jeslyn's body instantly dissolved. She sat down with a blank stare. Her mind was thrown back to the moment she arrived at the scene and found Felix lying helplessly with blood starting to ooze out of his head."Felix!" At that moment, she didn't even care about who else was around and how dangerous the area was.Jeslyn ran out of her car and, approached Felix and roughly pushed the man who had been beating his head. "Stop! What are you doing? You could have killed him! I told you to stop, damn it! Get out of the way!"Jeslyn's anger soared as the man she pushed continued to push forward to hit Felix again. With full force, she kicked the man's private parts with her knee, causing him to fall in pain immediately. But Jeslyn didn't care, even if the man screamed in ex
"Sorry, please be quiet." Secretary Jorell immediately approached the woman, who was now crying while calling Felix's name frantically in front of the glass. Both hands seemed to be about to smash the clear object in front of her. "My lord is not well. Please leave this place immediately.""He's not alright?" Arista turned her head and held Secretary Jorell's arm tightly. Her tears were breaking even more and looked too contrived. "Is he going to die? You, as his secretary, what did you do to make him like this? You're so incompetent! He paid you a high price, but you trivialized his life. You don't care about him. You ignore him."Then Arista turned back to look at Felix. "What a poor life you have. Felix, why did something like this happen to you? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It must have happened because I left you. When you were with me, even though life was miserable, you were never hurt. But now... Felix, please don't leave so soon."Arista's crying became even more hysterical.
Since then, Clarita and Chloe have taken turns looking after Felix daily with Jeslyn. Secretary Jorell couldn't always be at the hospital because he had to handle Felix's work temporarily and became very busy. And all the while, Arista was always coming to mess around, although it eventually led to her expulsion.On the third day, Clarita brought her bodyguard and assigned him to guard every hospital door to deter Arista. She also asked for the hospital's cooperation by telling them that Arista was a Felix-obsessed lunatic so that if they missed her at any time, they could expel her without mercy.It worked like a charm. Arista was never able to enter the hospital despite using various methods. From pretending to be sick to fainting in the middle of the road, which made the residents call for an ambulance. But still, once at the hospital door, the nurses refused to let her in and chose to call the security guard.At first, the nurses felt a dilemma when they saw Arista's pale conditio
However, the girl, who was none other than Veronica, did not immediately answer Chloe's question. She turned her gaze into the room and covered her mouth in shock at the sight of the pitiful Felix. She slowly stepped closer to the glass and cried sadly. "Felix. Why are you like this?"Chloe and Olivia looked at each other, confused.They didn't know this girl and had never even seen her. But she seemed to know Felix very well.Then, they both noticed Veronica's graceful and elegant appearance. It was obvious that this girl was not from an ordinary family."Excuse me, who are you? Do you know Felix?" asked Olivia, who couldn't contain her curiosity. Chloe watched her seriously, waiting for her answer.Upon hearing this, Veronica tried to stop her crying, wiped away the tears with a tissue taken from her bag, and turned around. She looked at Chloe and Olivia and then bowed briefly. "I'm sorry that I didn't introduce myself sooner. My name is Veronica."Chloe nodded faintly. Meanwhile, O
However, the question seemed like an afterthought. Neither Chloe nor Olivia wanted to answer. They suddenly became statues with their mouths tightly shut. After all, they knew very well what kind of closeness Jeslyn and Felix had despite not knowing the exact relationship. Veronica knew nothing about Jeslyn and only thought of her as a stranger.She looked at Chloe and Olivia in turn and said, "Even if it's just a candidate, at least we already have a plan for the way forward. Now that you know, don't you want to introduce yourselves? I have to make sure that you're not people who have a specific purpose. I don't want him to suffer any harm."Chloe swallowed with difficulty. Now, she could no longer reply to Veronica's words. It was Jeslyn's presence that scared her."What the hell are you talking about? Can you please explain it to me?" Jeslyn frowned in annoyance.Veronica turned around with an equally annoyed look on her face. First, she scanned Jeslyn's entire body, making the gir
Chloe, initially afraid of a fight between Veronica and Jeslyn, instantly became upset. She turned around and snapped, "What's a winner? There is no such thing as a winner here? Do you think my brother is something to fight over, huh? No! You all lost, and I'm the only winner!"Olivia swallowed nervously and tried to calm Chloe down. "Hey-""Shut up, Sis!" However, Chloe just jerked her without looking at her, making Olivia instantly speechless.Then she looked at the appearance of the older woman in front of her and frowned in confusion. "Who are you? Why are you suddenly interfering with our conversation?""I'm the one who's always been in Felix's heart," the old woman replied while running a hand through her white hair in a coquettish manner that was inappropriate for her age. That made everyone there look at her strangely. Even Veronica, initially very annoyed with Jeslyn, suddenly pulled herself close and held her arm in fear. Jeslyn didn't push her away and instead patted the ba
"I didn't expect her to be that crazy. I thought she had given up because she couldn't get in here. But it turns out she still has other ideas and managed to create a mess," said Chloe, sitting beside the gurney. Olivia shook her head slowly, still not expecting Arista's idea to break in wearing an older woman's clothes.The disguise was very successful. Everyone didn't even realize it. She really prepared everything well. And honestly, she didn't think that Arista would be so determined as to disguise herself and try to make a fake voice."What exactly is her purpose in coming here? It can't be to see my brother's condition, right?" Chloe turned around and looked at Jeslyn with confusion visible on her face.She really didn't know anything about the reason or anything about Felix's past. Apart from that, Felix didn't explain it to her, she also had no intention of asking. She thought it was just the past and didn't need to be discussed anymore. After all, they had already gone their
