The ambush was now happening. A few people wearing black clothes were surrounding Brandon. Everyone was getting ready to give Brandon a fatal blow.

At a time like this, Brandon tried to stay calm. He stared one by one at the criminals surrounding him. Thinking cleverly and not recklessly.

Brandon pulled the corners of his mouth up, an idea now occurring to him. The light from some cars shining towards them made it clear that Brandon was smirking.

One of the criminals who saw him said, "Why are you smiling? Are you underestimating us?" Your gaze is so sharp, as if you just want to pounce on your prey.

Brandon shook his head. "I'm not underestimating you, it's just..." Brandon looked at one of the fat men who had earlier said he wanted to incapacitate him with one punch. "Didn't you say you wanted to incapacitate me with one punch? So why do you still want to attack me all together? Did you change your mind and get scared?" Brandon mocked.

The fat man clenched his fists, not accepting

    Still covered in blood, Brandon kept walking away. "I'm sure I just blocked that knife with my hand, even drew blood." Brandon stopped, staring perplexed at his blood-soaked hand. "But why don't I feel anything?" he asked, confused.In his bewilderment, Brandon suddenly squinted his eyes as a car's headlights hit his face. A man had just gotten out of the car and was walking towards Brandon.The man's expression was shocked, "Mr. Brandon! What happened to you?" His hand grabbed Brandon's blood-covered hand. "Come with me, Mr. Brandon, my clinic happens to be near here," he invited.Brandon shook his head in disagreement, "No need, Mr. Jose, I'm fine."But unfortunately, the man called Jose shook his head, pulling Brandon's body and taking him into the car. "This can't be left alone, your hand could get infected." Jose immediately opened the door for Brandon, asking him to get into his car right away.With no choice, Brandon reluctantly got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. J

    In the same room, Jose Smith stared intently at Brandon. The young doctor's curiosity caused him to not blink and not look away from Brandon's face. Brandon appeared deep in thought, trying to remember who might hold a grudge against him. For quite a while, Brandon remained silent in turmoil, trying to think and guess who that person could be. Finally, he shook his head and said, "No! I don't suspect anyone."Jose was astonished. In Brandon's position, how could the man not know who might hold a grudge against him? Jose was even certain that Brandon could not possibly have only one enemy, considering Brandon was an expert.A heavy sigh escaped from Jose's mouth. He was very disappointed with the answer Brandon gave. "Mr. Brandon, how is it possible you don't suspect anyone?" he said, looking rather annoyed at Brandon. "You are a medical expert and possibly other kinds of expert as well. You must have many enemies."Jose tried to say everything he was thinking, perhaps that way Brando

    At 8:00 am sharp, Brandon jolted awake. His heart was pounding when he saw the clock on the nightstand. "Damn! I overslept." Brandon hurriedly got out of bed and rushed into the bathroom, washing his face while occasionally grumbling."How could Mom not have woken me up? Even on such an important day." Brandon stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. Soap suds were still stuck until he finally wiped them off with a towel and placed the towel on the sink."Today I have a date with Miss Angelica for the first time, that woman is surely going to be really mad."Brandon imagined what Angelica's face would look like when she was angry. That woman was clearly very different from Richard, so she probably wouldn't tolerate his tardiness."Where are you going, Brandon?" Brandon's mom asked as soon as she saw Brandon coming out of the room.Brandon ignored his mother's question, instead choosing to ask her back. "Why didn't you wake Brandon up? It's not like you to let Brandon oversle

    Frustrated with Angelica's childish attitude, Brandon hurried away from Richard's residence. He wasn't sure how to handle a woman like Angelica in the future, but he was definitely annoyed by her behavior.If Angelica knew the reason for his lateness, she would probably understand, or maybe she wouldn't care at all.Brandon cursed angrily, "Damn! Her attitude is worse than a child's."Brandon's footsteps halted when a car entered the driveway of the luxurious house, stopping not far from where he stood. Then, someone in a suit got out of the car. His smile widened perfectly when he saw Brandon standing before him.It was Richard, a successful man still considered young for his age. Richard walked closer, surprised to meet Brandon, although they would be seeing each other often since Brandon had started treating Angelica until she recovered.Despite his stern demeanor, Richard was friendly in front of someone important to his family. "Good morning, Mr. Brandon," he greeted. "You look u

    In the dining room, Richard remained friendly towards Brandon. "Please help yourself to whatever you like, Mr. Brandon," he said while putting food on his own plate.Brandon nodded, doing as Richard did.As they were about to start their breakfast together, the sound of footsteps made them both turn. Angelica stood not far away, glaring at Brandon.Brandon narrowed his eyes when he saw the expression Angelica directed at him. He knew Angelica was angry, and this time her anger was very apparent.Brandon sighed, trying to act normal despite Angelica's intimidating stare.Richard quickly asked Angelica to join them. "Sit down, Angelica, I need to talk to you."Though annoyed, Angelica chose to sit as Richard wanted. "What is it?" she asked with an unfriendly face."We should have breakfast first."Angelica rolled her eyes lazily. She was really upset this morning. Especially if she had to have breakfast with someone who had just ruined her day. "I've already had breakfast, Ri-" Angelica

    Brandon was currently in a cafe, enjoying his favorite white coffee. It had been quite a while since he had enjoyed a cup of white coffee and spent time alone in peace.Despite having many problems, spending time like this was something someone like Brandon hoped for.Occasionally, he sipped his coffee while looking outside through the window. For a moment, he wanted to forget all the problems that had entered his life, especially his love troubles with Ariana.Brandon took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "Can I enjoy a moment like this for a while? It feels like my heart is a little calmer."Brandon sipped his drink again, occasionally smelling the rich aroma of the white coffee.As Brandon was enjoying his drink without thinking about anything, his eyes narrowed when he saw a woman he knew so well. There, he saw Ariana - his ex-fiancée - being intimate with someone.How could they be so close? The man was even touching Ariana's lips and caressing her cheek affectionately.B

    Brandon wasn't fazed by Xavier's anger. Calmly, he released Xavier's grip from the collar of his shirt. "I don't want to cause any trouble, so please take your hands off my collar." Brandon held onto Xavier's hand until his grip loosened. Xavier was quite surprised by Brandon's ability. He was sure he had exerted his strength in gripping Brandon tightly, yet Brandon released himself with ease.Still in disbelief, Xavier challenged Brandon. "You think belittling Ariana isn't causing trouble? You've created a problem."Brandon quirked the corner of his mouth upwards and said, "Wasn't I just stating facts? If she's an expensive woman, she probably would..."Slap!Before Brandon could finish speaking, a slap landed squarely on his face. The one who did it was none other than Ariana.Ariana's hand trembled, containing the sting - the slap she gave Brandon was quite hard, but somehow she felt unsatisfied, especially when she saw the expression on Brandon's face. "You went too far, Brandon!

    Hearing the commotion outside the house, Brandon quickly went to check. He froze when he saw two people of different ages arguing. "No! How could you do this when I already forbade it?" Brandon's mother scolded. "You should just go home, Brandon isn't here," she shooed away the young woman in front of her.The woman shook her head. "No! I won't leave until I meet Brandon, I'm sure he's home."The argument between the two women of different ages made Brandon sigh. He didn't know what they were bickering about. Not wanting to hear the quarrel continue, Brandon approached and stood between them. "What's going on?" he asked, looking at the two women alternately, then focusing his gaze on the one who had caused the disturbance. "What happened, Miss Stella?"Stella Robinson immediately felt relieved upon seeing the person she wanted to meet now in front of her. "I'm sorry, Mr. Brandon, I didn't mean to cause a disturbance. It's just... your mother forbade me from meeting you."Brandon's

    All day long, Ariana was in her room. She kept shedding tears, so sad that Brandon had left her. They were going to get married soon, but why did something so unwanted have to happen?"Why did you decide to leave me, Brandon? Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit! What do you want from me, Brandon? How can you ignore me like this!" Ariana screamed in her room, letting out her emotions to everyone around her.Eli, who was outside the room, was worried and saddened by Ariana's situation. He had tried to pe

    Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando

    "Brandon, what do you mean?"With her heart pounding, Ariana approached the bed where Brandon was being treated. She was a little worried; if he remembered everything now, then what about him? Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar

    Brandon's mother came out of the house with an inexplicable feeling; worry was overwhelming her. She was so worried about Brandon's condition. Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Didn't he ask permission to go to a café earlier? Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry. She looked confused at Brandon's mother. Quickly, Angelica decided to approach her, especially now that the middle-aged woman looked so hurried that it made Angelica feel a little worried."Tante, what's wrong?" asked Angelica as she tapped Brandon's mother on the shoulder.Brandon's mother instantly turned her head when she felt her shoulder being held. The middle-aged woman was almost in tears when she said it. "Brandon had an accident, Miss Angelic

    The unsuitable meeting with Brandon made Ariana feel upset, but she would still try to get Brandon's mother to approve their relationship to the level of marriage.After meeting with Brandon at the cafe, she decided to go home. She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his

    "Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,

    After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo

    After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j

    "Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
