Dustin winced in pain. He waved a hand, stopping a taxi in front of him. "To the nearest clinic here." The taxi driver nodded his head respectfully. "Yes, sir." He immediately drove the vehicle to the nearest clinic near the airport. Arriving at the clinic, Dustin gave the taxi driver ten-dollar bills in cash. He went inside the clinic. Two male nurses immediately helped him. They quickly treated the wound on Dustin's face. They cleaned Dustin's wound with a cotton cloth soaked in alcohol, then dripped Betadine and Revanol to dry the wound quickly. "Can you camouflage this wound on my face so it doesn't show?" Dustin had to treat the wound immediately because he didn't want Karina and his in-laws to see this. The nurses looked at each other. The bruises on Dustin's face wouldn't go away quickly. They gave Dustin some painkillers instead. "Sir, this can ease the pain in your body. For the cuts and bruises, it will take a few days. But we have an ointment to help the bruises and wou
Eri and Jake shouted while waving their arms, calling out to Karina. "Come quickly. There's food you'll like, Karina. These items are also beautiful and suitable for you." Karina, who was blushing, went straight to her parents. Meanwhile, Dustin immediately put on his clothes. Dustin left the room and saw Eri choosing the clothes in the paper bag. Dustin smiled slightly, proud of Albert, who turned out to be good at picking good taste for his in-laws. Dustin glanced at Karina, who looked mischievous. Dustin had managed to bring gifts for his two in-laws. He wanted to go outside to enjoy the night air. "I'll go out for a while." Karina turned to Dustin, then nodded her head while turning her face away because she was embarrassed to have kissed Dustin's cheek. It was different with Eri, who looked at Dustin sarcastically. Eri ignored Dustin and refocused on several large paper bags that had yet to be opened. Dustin immediately left the apartment. Dustin drove his vehicle to a bar. A
The man in front of Dustin was furious. He stared at Dustin with a piercing gaze as he threw his hand out of Dustin's grasp. "Who are you, stay out of our business. Let go of my hand!" Dustin let go of the man's hand. He glanced at Carla, who looked frightened, taking cover behind him. "She's my friend. And I see you want to slap her, so of course it's my business too." The man pushed Dustin's shoulder roughly. "Get out of here if you don't want to get into trouble!" Carla restrained Dustin's body. She raised her hands up, waving them in the man's face. "You're the one who should get out of here! Get out! Our business is over!" The man looked even angrier at Dustin and Carla. The man pulled Carla's arm roughly. "You dare kick me out, you bitch!" Of course, Dustin didn't stay silent to see Carla treated rudely. Dustin grabbed the man's arm again, this time with so much force that the man winced in pain. "Let go! What are you doing, damn it?" "Let go of her hand first!" Dustin gav
Dustin woke up early, as usual. He immediately cleaned up and prepared breakfast for all the family members in the house. Karina, who was working, took her breakfast first, followed by Dustin, so they had breakfast together in the dining room. They looked in the same direction not long after when the door to Eri and Jake's room opened. Karina's forehead furrowed at the appearance of her parents, who looked neat as if they were going somewhere. "Where are you going? Why are you all dressed like that so early in the morning?" Eri fixed the large gold necklace around her neck while moving the luxury watch she had bought some time ago using Dustin's black card. "We're going to the Grayson family gathering. Now our family cannot be underestimated or underestimated. They should know that their family is still nothing compared to our family right now." Karina, who heard it, could only respond with a nod. At least, her parents' words this time were valid. After that night's incident, their
Dustin's eyes widened perfectly when he picked up the phone call. There was a panicked woman's voice. It was Eri calling. "Come here quickly." Dustin nodded his head as he started the engine of his car. "Yeah, I'll be right there." Dustin had just gotten word that Eri and Jake had gotten into an accident at the red light intersection leading to the Grayson family's meeting place. Dustin immediately drove his vehicle, rushing to the accident scene. Not long after, he finally arrived at the scene. Many people were gathered there. Dustin couldn't see where his mother and father-in-law were. Dustin tried to break through the crowd. Until finally, he saw Eri and Jake appear to be arguing with a young man. Dustin saw that his car was severely damaged, as well as the car of the person who collided with Eri and Jake. There was even an ambulance and medical personnel who were giving aid to the person driving the car. Eri approached Dustin with a very panicked look on her face. "Dustin, that
The well-dressed man bowed his head respectfully before Dustin. Dustin rose to face him. He extended a hand before Dustin with a friendly smile. "Sir, I am Skandar. I am the lawyer who will defend Mrs. Eri and Mr. Jake." Dustin warmly welcomed the man's hand. Dustin had heard of him before. Skandar was a famous lawyer who had won many cases in various regions. Even his name was familiar to many people. At the same time, a man with a large body arrived. He was the father of the young man driving the car that Eri and Jake had hit from behind. The big man was named Raul, and he looked angry. His eyes stared intently at everyone in the police room, directly approaching Eri and Jake with his waist ruffled. "Are you the ones who hit my son and sent him to the hospital? I won't let you get away! You have to go to jail!" Of course, this made Eri and Jake unhappy. Those who had started to calm down became heated again. They raised their faces in the air, challenging the big man. Eri pointed
Raul tried to act calm. He exhaled slowly, trying to compose himself but struggling with panic. All eyes in the room were on him. Even the policemen were now staring at him with puzzled looks. He felt irritated by the situation. She looked at Dustin, Eri, and Jake. "You shameless, lowly people!" Of course, that made Eri and Jake upset. Eri and Jake stared straight at Raul, raising their faces in a snarl. "We feel humiliated. I want justice. You've accused us and demanded responsibility that your son should have!" Raul still refused to acknowledge his son's guilt and acted as if he was in the right. "But my son was hospitalized because of you. You should have empathized with him!" "Why should we empathize with a young man who broke the rules like that? Don't you also empathize with us because of your son's actions, our car was damaged! You should have taught your son how to drive a car and recognize traffic signs properly! That would have hurt everyone!" Raul pointed his index fing
Dustin walked his in-laws into the apartment. They looked drained. Eri and Jake flopped down on the sofa and rubbed their faces roughly. Eri snorted in annoyance. "I hope that young man and that official get a severe punishment. I'm annoyed at them for wanting to put you in jail."Jake nodded his head. "Well, it's a good thing we have proof of our innocence." They looked at Dustin. In their hearts, they were grateful that Dustin could help, but their mouths were reluctant to say thank you as it was hard, and of course, they thought that it was what Dustin should have done, defending his parents-in-law.Eri got up from the sofa, stepping into the room, followed by Jake without saying another word. Karina watched her parents' backs. "Poor them, they must be tired. But that's also why your car was destroyed."Dustin looked at Karina, staring at her parents' bedroom door. "Karina, since you're home from work, do you want to meet someone?"Karina's brow furrowed. "With who?""I'd like to t
Karina covered her mouth in disbelief at what Dustin had just said. Her eyes filled with tears. She jumped into Dustin's arms."I'm so happy, Dustin." Karina wiped away her tears while releasing a hug from Dustin. She held the man's hand. "Come on, let's go to the hospital now to make sure that your memory has indeed fully recovered."Dustin smiled, then nodded in agreement. "Alright." He also couldn't wait to find out.They quickly got into the car and ordered the driver to go to the hospital where Dustin usually went for medical checkups. As for Ludwig and Agnes, they left it to the bodyguards and nannies to take the sleeping children back home.Along the way, Karina continued to hold Dustin's hand with an indescribable feeling on her face. Her heart kept beating fast, eager to discover if Dustin's memory had fully recovered.When they arrived at the hospital, Dustin was immediately examined by a doctor. All the examination results will be known within the next 2 hours.Karina bit h
They decided to spend time together there, making a campfire on the beach and enjoying the small waves that occasionally came closer.Ludwig was having fun today. He ate the grilled corn and sausages with gusto. "This is fun. This place is also very beautiful and makes me happy."Karina nodded her head. "That's right. Mom is always happy to be here, too." She rested her head on Dustin's shoulder. "Now everything feels complete. This happiness, the children, and our togetherness."Dustin frowned as a memory flashed through his mind. "Ah, yes. I can remember that."Karina smiled happily. They watched Ludwig, who was feeding his new pet dog and looked at Agnes, who was already sleeping peacefully on the trolley.Dustin kissed Karina's forehead warmly. The images and flashbacks in his mind continued to swirl, showing how many memories it would be a shame for him to forget.Ludwig approached them while stroking his stomach, which looked slightly distended from overeating. "Mom, Dad, I'm sl
When they arrived home, they saw Clark waiting at their door. Ludwig and Agnes rushed into the house first, along with their maidservant. Meanwhile, Karina and Dustin approached Clark.Clark immediately stood up and bowed respectfully when he saw them. "Good afternoon. I'm sorry if I'm intruding."Albert immediately lowered his head when he saw Dustin glancing at him. Dustin's gaze seemed to ask why Clark wasn't waiting inside the house. Although Albert knew that Clark was the one who had saved his master, he didn't want to be presumptuous in inviting the white-haired man into the house without Dustin's permission."Not at all. Come on, come in." Dustin touched Clark's back, led him into the house, and sat together in the living room."You should have told me in advance that you were coming here so I wouldn't have gone anywhere and kept you waiting for a long time." Dustin felt bad for making Clark wait for him. He had no idea how long he had been waiting.Clark seemed to exhale softl
Axel bowed his body before Dustin, looking very sorry for this incident. "I apologize for this unpleasant incident."Dustin nodded slowly. "It doesn't matter. It's also my fault as a parent for not paying proper attention to my child."Axel did not expect that something like this would happen at his mall. The problem was it happened to Dustin. Axel felt bad.Dustin looked back, seeing how Ludwig was doing. "Are you okay?" Ludwig nodded his head. Dustin patted Ludwig lightly on the shoulder. "You're a very extraordinary boy. You don't have to fear anything if you're in the right situation."Dustin held his son's shoulders as he leaned over slightly, looking earnestly into his son's face. "If someone else wants to push you down, you have to push them back."Ludwig exhaled softly with a severe face. "Father, don't treat me like a child. Of course, I know that." He folded his arms across his chest. "You saw that yourself, right? I can deal with both of them."Dustin smiled, then hugged Lu
Karina immediately embraced Ludwig's body. The look on her face was one of deep concern. She had been trying to avoid approaching Ludwig, holding back the resentment and anger in her heart towards the man with glasses and his son."Are you okay? No injuries?" Karina watched Ludwig's face and body, who had been pushed several times until he almost fell.Ludwig only answered with a shake of his head.Dustin slammed Nueve's hand down so hard that the man took a few steps back and dropped his glasses. His nearsighted eyes squinted, trying to see who was before him."You're the father of this fucking kid?" Nueve tapped Dustin on the shoulder with the tip of her index finger. "Look at this!" He pointed at his glasses that had fallen to the floor. "You made my glasses fall off. Compensate now!" He clucked in annoyance while holding his head. "Ah, how unlucky I am to have met two damn people like this."Dustin remained silent, looking at Nueve with a sharp gaze. He was holding back his anger
"You've hurt my son." The man's voice was so loud that it scared Ludwig because he had never been yelled at like that by anyone, not even his parents.Ludwig was scolded by the man with glasses. The man's eyes were not good, so he thought that Ludwig was a damn person who abused his son."He's the one who's not careful." Ludwig tried to defend himself. He looked at the boy sharply."Don't be evasive." The boy pushed Ludwig's shoulder, causing Ludwig to take a few steps back. "You're the one who knocked me down." The boy held up his index finger, pointing at Ludwig, seemingly not wanting to take the blame for his actions earlier.Ludwig was waiting in line for his turn to play the basketball game, but since it was filled with kids who were quite a bit older than him, Ludwig decided not to play the game and left. But when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the boy, knocking him to the floor.It wasn't all Ludwig's fault because the boy he hit was playing with his cell phone,
After breakfast, Karina took Dustin to the office where they used to spend time together doing their work. Dustin looked around and was surprised to see so many reports on the desk.Karina stroked the edge of the brown desk and looked at Dustin. "Actually, this is all your work, but I'm helping you finish it little by little even though it seems like the reports are never finished because they keep adding up every day."Karina picked up one of the files there and opened it, then handed it to Dustin. "Maybe you'll remember it better if you see this."Dustin took the file and looked at Karina. "So, this is all my work?" He did not expect his duties as the head of the Kenderick family to be this extraordinary. He opened the file and skimmed through it. "It's overwhelming and confusing."Karina nodded her head and sat on the table while gently stroking Dustin's shoulder. "At first, I also had a hard time working through all of this, but I forced myself and managed to do it." Karina smiled
Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, I'm fine." He raised both hands while smiling kindly. "As you can see."Clark nodded. He sat on the chair next to Dustin's bed. "I had no idea that you... ah, I mean, you were such a wonderful person." He smiled with a cautious-looking face. "You are the leader of the Kenderick family."Clark looked very awkward in Dustin's presence. Even now, he dared not look directly into Dustin's eyes. He only dared to glance occasionally.Dustin smiled at Clark's behavior, which was different from usual. "Just act normal. Don't be awkward or feel reluctant towards me. I already think of you as my friend."Clark smiled happily as he raised his hand. "This is truly a tremendous honor for me."Dustin shook his head with a soft sigh. "Don't overdo it. Just behave as you normally do. I am deeply indebted to you for taking such good care of me."Clark smiled as he bowed his head for a moment. "It's my duty as a doctor."Clark looked at Dustin. Although Dustin's memories we
Karina released her embrace from Dustin. She wiped away her tears, and then Dustin's hand gently wiped away the remaining tears on Karina's cheeks. The woman's face reddened slightly."So, are you my wife?" Dustin asked again to make sure. He was still not entirely sure because this felt strange to him. Even with all the images in his memory, it felt like something new.Karina nodded her head. "Yes, I am your wife." Karina stroked Dustin's face affectionately. "You are my most handsome husband."Karina's pupils lit up. The longing in her heart for Dustin was so great. She couldn't imagine if Dustin had died in the helicopter crash. She wasn't ready and never would be, especially with Ludwig and Agnes still young. They desperately needed Dustin's love.Karina smiled, lowering her hand carefully. "You are a great person. You protected me under any circumstances. You were even willing to risk your life for me several times." Karina tried to unlock Dustin's memories. "You were very good a
