After waking up, Sarah felt dizzy and confused. The world seemed to be spinning around her, and it took a while for her to realize where she was. Slowly, the memory of Franklin's accident hit her again. Suddenly, her heart was filled with deep worry, and she immediately asked to be escorted to the hospital, where Franklin was being treated.When Sarah arrived at the hospital, she found it very quiet. Family and neighbors sat anxiously in the waiting room. As her eyes fell on Clara, who sat quietly by Franklin's bedside with eyes puffy with tears, Sarah felt something different in her heart.All this time, Sarah had always objected to Franklin and Clara's relationship. Not because of Clara, but because of the dark past, where Clara's brother Charles was allegedly involved in the death of her husband, Franklin's father. The wound was still too deep for Sarah to heal, and it made it difficult for her to fully accept Clara.However, now, seeing Clara faithfully stand by Franklin's side, h
Charles felt increasingly desperate. Despite all his efforts to separate Clara and Franklin, he couldn't accept the reality that Franklin would remain in Clara's life. The long-suppressed jealousy and hatred in his heart reached a boiling point, finally pushing him to take more drastic action.That night, Charles entered the hospital with cautious steps. He hid his evil intentions behind a calm facade. After ensuring the hallway where Franklin was being treated was empty of nurses or visitors, he approached Franklin's room door.With trembling hands, Charles opened the door and saw Franklin lying weakly in the hospital bed. His face looked peaceful, seemingly unaware of the deadly threat approaching him. Charles walked slowly to the bedside, trying to calm his mind filled with various considerations. However, one thought kept dominating him—that Franklin must be eliminated so Clara would no longer be bound to him.Charles reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pillow. He was c
Franklin was finally allowed to go home after a few weeks in the hospital. His condition was improving, and although he was still tired, Franklin was relieved to be back home. Clara, who faithfully accompanied him during his recovery, prepared to take Franklin home.Just as Franklin was ready to be discharged, the hospital room door suddenly opened and Selena appeared. She was carrying a bouquet of fresh flowers in her hand. She smiled when she saw Franklin, "Hi, Franklin. I'm glad to see you're better. I came to see you."Franklin smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you, Selena. I'm glad to be home too."Clara, who was standing beside Franklin, felt something strange when she saw Selena. Although she tried hard not to show her feelings, her heart was filled with jealousy. Selena always seemed to be close to Franklin, and even though they were just friends, Clara couldn't help but feel uncomfortable every time she saw their closeness.Seeing the change in Clara's expression, Sarah, who
A man just parked his motorcycle in front of the shipping office at exactly 7:00 PM. He took off his helmet, revealing his head, then immediately went inside the office. A slightly chubby man who had been standing among the stack of packages for tomorrow's delivery gave Franklin a sharp look."Where have you been, coming home at this hour?" his boss snapped. His voice was so loud that even the employees who hadn't left yet and were still packing goods turned to see what was wrong."Don't you know the time? The deliveries were supposed to be finished today, but you're late, and there are still four packages left to be delivered. What if they complain and get angry because the courier is incompetent, then who do you think will be blamed? Of course, the shipping company, and it affects all of us!" he snapped again.In front of him, Franklin dared not reply, he just remained silent in front of him. Because if he ever dared to resist, his boss would scold him twice as terrifyingly as now.
"Anyway, I don't want to know. You have to take responsibility! You have to compensate. Do I have to accept a package this damaged?!"A man in his early twenties appeared to be lamenting his unfortunate fate.Today, he was struck by the misfortune of the contents of the package he delivered to one of the houses in the housing complex being damaged."Relax, sir. We can find a solution to this. I really don't know why your package got damaged. We can check with the central store, sir. Maybe there was a mistake in the delivery from there.""I don't care. I just want my money back. Twice the amount.""Twice the amount?!"He's Franklin. The man's eyes widened at the thought of his money being requested back twice."But, sir. This Non cash of delivery item costs 100 dollar. If you ask for twice the amount, that means I have to refund it for 200 dollar, sir?""Of course."Franklin swallowed hard."I'm sorry, sir. But, I don't have that much money at all. I...""Fine. Let me call your boss. L
Franklin appeared visibly shocked by the incident unfolding before his eyes.His eyes sharpened as he saw Vina, his sister, trying to stop the nurses who were disrespectfully removing their parents from the hospital.It was evident that the pale face and weak body were being dragged and forced out of the hospital.Such actions should have consequences, but considering Franklin could only afford to place his mother in the lowest-class room, it was no wonder she was being treated so poorly."Stop! Wait a moment, nurse! I'm sure we can discuss this matter calmly."Franklin tried to intervene."Sorry, sir. According to the hospital rules, we have to discharge your mother as she hasn't paid the administration fees for several days.""I understand, nurse. I'm currently looking for funds to pay for everything. Please, give me a little more time. I promise to settle my mother's medical bills as soon as possible.""I'm sorry, sir. The hospital has already given you a sufficient grace period. W
"Franklin's heart was truly broken. He now seemed to have lost half the spirit of his life.The woman he thought was the only external source of strength he had turned out to be the destroyer of everything."Shit! Why did I have to know her if in the end, she's only going to hurt my heart?!"Franklin punched his motorcycle handlebars. Yelling in frustration, deliberately ignoring the stares from people around who looked at him strangely.Today, truly became the worst day for Franklin. Everything shattered and disappeared at the same time.“Franklin.." someone called out softly, afraid of becoming the target of Franklin's anger as well.Franklin then turned to find Ical, whom he had met earlier, coming to see him."Eh, you, Cal? What's up? Sorry for what happened inside. You must feel embarrassed because I caused a scene there."Ical quickly shook his head. "No, Franklin. I wouldn't be like that. You know, there's nothing good about adultery. If I were you, I'd probably do the same thi
Hearing the continuous moans coming from the woman's mouth immediately caught Franklin's attention.The man looked puzzled about what to do, seeing the fresh blood flowing so heavily made his mind chaotic.He was confused and scared, never having faced so much blood before."Miss Clara? Miss Clara, are you okay? What's happening, Miss Clara? Why is all this happening to you?"Franklin asked, now embracing the woman. Clara's body looked weak, almost unable to support itself.Her eyes were teary, dripping repeatedly, making her cheeks wet with those clear drops."Shh.. it hurts.. please help me. My hand really hurts so much."Clara pleaded for help from the man in front of her. Regardless of the man's feelings, whether scared or anything else, Clara just wanted assistance.Clara's only hope at that moment was Franklin alone."But I don't mean I don't want to help Miss Clara or anything. If I take Miss Clara downstairs and lots of people see us, they might think I've committed a crime wi
