In the morning, Karina woke up and didn't find Dustin beside her. "Where did Dustin go?"Karina blinked her eyes a few times while yawning widely, then looked around. Her eyes widened instantly when she saw the sunlight that had infiltrated the room. For example, it surprised her that she had overslept. Karina immediately threw off the covers and put back on her nightgown beside the bed.Karina stomped on the floor with a look of annoyance because Dustin didn't wake her up first, which meant she didn't have breakfast with Ludwig. "Ludwig will definitely be disappointed that he didn't eat with me. Why didn't Dustin wake me up? That guy!"Not long after, Dustin walked into the room with a breakfast tray for Karina. He had a happy look on his face. "Good morning. I see you're awake."Karina stared at Dustin with a sharp gaze while folding her hands before her chest. "Why didn't you wake me up? I overslept because of you."Dustin smiled at Karina, who had returned to sit on the edge of th
"Ludwig!" Karina was shocked by Ludwig's shout. She cried as she saw her fearless son lying on the ground. Ludwig cried hysterically and tried his best to back away from the bear. However, the movement made by the lazy Ludwig made the bear more aggressive and ran faster towards Ludwig. Holding a gun, Dustin immediately ran and moved his weapon towards the bear. In just one shot, he managed to hit the head of the large wild bear. "Ah!" Ludwig screamed hysterically, crying in fear as blood spurted onto his face and body. The bear fell to the ground with its head covered in blood. Ludwig's eyes widened perfectly because this was the first time he had ever seen that much blood, and to add to his shock, the bear's blood was all over him. He had never seen a wild bear in person at such close range. Karina immediately ran over to Ludwig. Karina hugged Ludwig, who looked very shocked and did not stop crying. It also made Karina cry while rubbing the back of Ludwig's head. "I'm sorry for no
2 years later, Karina accompanied Ludwig to practice archery with Albert in the backyard. Ludwig's skills in archery became more pronounced and more mature. Ludwig could even shoot targets at more than two hundred meters. This really made Karina and Dustin feel more proud of Ludwig.Karina smiled, watching Ludwig from a distance. "You're amazing, Ludwig!"Ludwig briefly turned to Karina, smiling with a cold look, precisely like Dustin. Ludwig again aimed his arrow towards a target farther away than before, 350 meters from where he was standing.Karina clapped her hands as Ludwig hit the target again. However, Karina's head suddenly felt dizzy. Karina lowered her head while holding her head. "My head is so dizzy."Karina raised her head slowly and looked around. Her eyesight was blurry, and she could not see Ludwig clearly. Her head was getting dizzier and dizzier as Karina's consciousness dwindled until finally, Karina fell unconscious. Suddenly, everyone there panicked."Miss Karina!"
Dustin stood looking at the large building that had just officially opened in the last few months. A spacious building located right at the foot of a mountain with a view of nature that offered beauty.He was in a very distant place. The mountains were not far from the oil refinery area. Dustin had not been there long because he was busy taking care of several new businesses and realising Ludwig's genius design."Dustin." A woman approached Dustin in a friendly manner. "It's been a while since we've seen each other."Dustin nodded. "Yes. I just had time to come again because I was caring for something else.""I see." The woman nodded, then extended her hand to Dustin. "Congratulations on the birth of your second child, Dustin."Dustin smiled, welcoming the hand of the woman in front of him. "Thank you, Christina."Christina only smiled. This company that stood in the village at the foot of the mountain was his joint project with Karina. It had taken several years of research to run th
Karina glanced at the clock in her hand. I don't know how many times it has been. She looks uneasy while occasionally looking at her cell phone. Karina bit her lower lip, typing something on her phone. It was the tenth message she sent to Dustin.Karina pushed her hair behind her ears, exhaling a rough breath. "Why isn't he back yet? It's been three hours since he sent me a message about coming home."Karina redialed Dustin's phone number, but it never connected, always out of range. Karina felt uneasy.Karina's gaze drifted to Albert, who came to her respectfully. "Miss, I'm ...." Albert seemed hesitant to speak to Karina."What's wrong?" Karina examined Albert's face, which looked full of worry. She was curious about that. "Did you hear from Dustin?" His brow furrowed. "I've sent him messages and tried to call him several times, but his number is always out of range."Albert was silent with his head bowed. This made Karina feel even more curious. Especially when Albert opened his pa
A man lay on a wooden bed with a straw mat. He opened his eyes slowly, looking around. One hand was raised to hold his bandaged head.The man squinted, not recognizing the place he was in. A small wooden room with the windows slightly open, revealing a little light from the sun that was covered by dark clouds. There were some bandages and anti-septic medicine on his bedside table.The man's gaze was drawn to the door when another man approached the small hut with a friendly smile. "You're awake."The man in the bed frowned strongly, looking confused, not recognizing who the man was. He slowly got up, leaning against the wall and watching the white-haired man before him.The newly arrived white-haired man sat on a wooden chair facing the bed. "You must be confused as to why you're here. We found you on the beach in a mess. You fell unconscious with your clothes torn like that."The man looked at himself. He looked like a mess. His clothes were torn and dirty. There were many wounds on
It had been three days since the man named Tony had gone anywhere. He had just stayed in the hut since he lost consciousness. He looked out the window. A strong wind brought raindrops, making the small wooden hut feel colder.She exhaled and looked miserable. The lights in the hut flickered frequently and often went out for long periods due to the windstorm.Tony looked at the lights that dimmed, then slowly died. An instant later, it was dimly lit again."This is how it is in a small village." Clark smiled sadly. "If a storm comes, our village will be without power for several days. This time, it was lucky that the storm winds weren't so strong in the village."Tony was quite stunned because, for him, strong winds like this were already so big. The noise from the roof of the spandex hut outside sounded like the wind was blowing everything away.Often, the wind blows away many small trees that fly with it and hit the body of the house. Tony even felt a bit of horror when the squeaking
Elsewhere, Karina was eating with Ludwig in the dining room. The news of Dustin being involved in the helicopter crash had already spread throughout the country. Ludwig and Agnes have been warned to become the next heir in Dustin's place.It was enough to worry Karina because if everyone knew there would be a new heir, Ludwig might be in danger. She didn't want anything horrible to happen again. All the bad things could be overcome when Dustin was around, but now he wasn't with her."Mother." Ludwig's voice broke Karina's reverie. The little boy had been watching his mother since before. "Are you okay? You didn't touch your food at all."Karina smiled with a slight stutter. She realized she had only been stirring her food. "I'm fine, Ludwig."A worried look appeared on Ludwig's face. The boy had an intelligence above the average child his age. He was a genius, so he could easily guess Karina's behavior.Ludwig got down from the chair, hugging Karina warmly. "Father will be found soon,
