Dustin was on his laptop, inputting statistics for a company he was running with a client. Suddenly he got a phone call from Eri. Dasin immediately picked up the phone call while continuing his work staring at the laptop monitor screen. "Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?" "Dustin, help us!" Eri's voice sounded panicked and hoarse. Suddenly, Dustin was shocked. Dustin immediately put down his laptop and stood up, worried and curious about what happened to Eri. "Why, what happened, ma'am?" "Help us. We're hurt badly, Dustin. Karina... Karina too ...." Eri's disjointed words were interspersed with sobs. It made Dustin even more panicked and worried about what was happening to them. "What's wrong with Karina, Mom?" Dustin panicked. He rubbed his face roughly, waiting impatiently for an answer from Eri. "Karina... she disappeared!" Eri cried hysterically. "We don't know where she went. You were shopping and suddenly someone attacked us. My husband and I were badly injured, while Karina disapp
Karina cried hysterically in fear as Julian's blood continued pouring out of the back of the man's head. Dustin immediately ran to Karina and hugged his wife's body tightly. "Calm down. I'm with you now." Dustin tied the ropes on his hands and feet because. The strings were hard enough to make Karina's hands and feet red. Karina winced in pain. When the ropes were untied, Karina rushed into Dustin's arms. She cried in Dustin's arms because she was actually scared. "I'm scared, Dustin. I tried to be brave in front of him; I shook so much that it felt like my heart stopped. I'm really very scared." Dustin stroked Karina's hair with affection. "Yes, I know that. I'm sorry, Karina. I couldn't take good care of you." Dustin released his embrace from Karina. He held Karina's face and checked the wound from Julian's slap on Karina's face. "Does your cheek still hurt?" Karina only answered with a shake of her head, even though her cheek was still hot and sore. Dustin helped Karina to get
Karina blinked her eyes a few times before finally opening them fully. She saw Dustin, still sleeping beside her while hugging her warmly, still in the position from last night. She rubbed Dustin's face and watched every inch without missing a single inch of Dustin's face. Karina liked that. She smiled happily.When Karina's hand touched Dustin's lips, Dustin's eyes opened. "Good morning, my wife."Karina was a little surprised. She immediately withdrew her hand from Dustin's lips. "Did I wake you up?"Dustin smiled as he shook his head. "Not at all." He quickly kissed Karina's forehead, then got off the bed.Karina also sat on the bed with a furrowed brow, watching Dustin, who went straight into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Dustin came out of the bathroom with a bright and fresh face after washing his face. Karina felt confused when Dustin changed into neat clothes. "Where are you going? Are you going to work this early?""I'm going out of town on business." Dustin put on his s
Everyone got busy because of Karina, who suddenly fainted. The park attendant was panicking, calling for people to come help Karina. "Quickly help Miss Karina!" The few guards immediately swiftly carried Karina's body into the house and laid her on the sofa. Hearing the commotion, Eri and Jake, watching television in the living room, immediately approached with panicked faces. Eri bit the tip of her index finger. "Karina, what exactly happened to you?" She was worried because she feared yesterday's incident had made Karina sick. Jake gently shook both of Karina's shoulders. "What's wrong with you, kiddo? Snap out of it!" He looked at the servants who had accompanied Karina in the garden. "What happened to her? Why is she unconscious like this?" All the servants shook their heads. The park guard who had been with Karina bowed his head. "I don't know, Miss Karina just suddenly fainted. We immediately brought her here." "Oh my, Karina." Eri squatted right beside Karina's body. She w
Karina enjoyed her time relaxing in the backyard. The servants brought her breakfast and snacks like salads and fruits. They didn't let her get tired enough to take a drink to the kitchen. The news of Karina's pregnancy was the talk of the town at the Kenderick family home. The servants talked about it and were happy about the pregnancy. At the same time, Yosan's brother came to the Kenderick family's main house. Alphonso, Yosan's younger brother, is none other than Thomas' father. I visited the main house and overheard the servants discussing Karina's pregnancy. "Oh, so now Yosan's daughter-in-law is pregnant. That means they have a successor who will continue Dustin as heir." Alphonso felt a little displeased by the news. "Be careful bringing it up. Miss Karina is craving this, don't spill it and disappoint her." A butler told another servant carrying a tray of food for Karina. The maid nodded her head and hurried to the backyard where Karina was. Alphonso followed the waiter u
The Hantbouch family had no other choice. They couldn't just let the Hantbouch family disintegrate. George Hantbouch, Zeya's father. He didn't want to take a big risk. He embraced his wife and stepped back, letting the men take Zeya."Just take her. A guilty person deserves punishment." George firmly said that.Suddenly, Zeya was surprised to hear that. "Dad, why did you say that?"George was silent. He didn't want Zeya to be punished, but they couldn't do anything about it. The heir to the Hantbouch family, who was only 15 years old, was in trouble. He didn't want his family to be further destroyed.Zeya shouted loudly when the two people pulled her hand even more to leave. "Father, Mother, Kaylee. Help me!"Zeya's family remained silent and walked away. They did nothing to prevent the men from taking Zeya. Zeya looked at the people, trying to get away. Her gaze was also drawn to some of her neighbours who passed by."Help! Somebody help me!" Zeya continued to shout. However, no one
Karina was happy with the attention Dustin gave her. After eating the ice cream, Karina walked leisurely in the backyard while occasionally remembering the movements when holding the dagger. Dustin watched her from near the backyard door.One of the servers came over to Dustin. "Excuse me, Mr. Dustin. Mr. Albert and some of his men are here. They are standing guard in front of the Villa."Dustin nodded his head. "Yes, just tell him. I'll see him later.""Yes, sir. Excuse me." The waiter politely excused himself from Dustin's presence.Dustin had time to inform Albert that he was at the Villa. Without orders, Albert immediately came after Karina and Dustin because Albert's job now was to protect Karina. Albert brought several bodyguards to stand guard at the front.Karina picked a few flowers and then approached Dustin. "I like this flower. It's very pretty."Dustin gently stroked Karina's hair. "Yes, beautiful like you." He hugged Karina, then led her inside the Villa as the sun got h
"I'm scared, Dustin." Karina hugged Dustin's body tightly. She was absolutely terrified by everything that was happening right in front of her eyes.Dustin calmed Karina, who was still crying hysterically. "Calm down. Come on, let's get out of here."Dustin wrapped his arms around Karina's body, carrying her out of the villa. The villa was in ruins. Blood was everywhere. The people of the attackers who had been taken down were lying around, revealing a horrifying sight to Karina."Don't worry. I'm with you." Dustin partially covered Karina's face to prevent her from seeing the corpses. He felt guilty that Karina had to see this.Dustin led Karina into the car. Meanwhile, Dustin looked back when he saw Albert approaching. "Take care of all the bodies here too. Karina and I will go home."Albert bowed his head respectfully. "Yes, sir. We will take care of all this."Dustin nodded and got into the car. He drove away from the villa area. Dustin occasionally looked at Karina, who was still
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
