"Sorry Dad, we didn't get to see Savana," said Joseph as he came to Grandpa Cooper's office.

Cooper, who was in a bad mood as his stock continued to drop, looked at Joseph sharply as he pounded on his desk.

"How could you!" Cooper shouted.

Joseph struggled to swallow his saliva. "Savana's cell phone number is also disconnected. She even changed her phone number," Joseph said, trying to explain.

"I don't want to know Joseph, the point is you need to get an apology from her so we can have a good relationship with them again. Do you see the impact of all this if we don't know who Xavier really is? My stock is going down, what if all these investors run away? Do you want your company to go bankrupt?!" Cooper looked angry and annoyed.

"You can't blame Joseph for not checking out Xavier's background in the first place. You're also wrong to demonize her and kick her out of our family!" said Joseph, who didn't want to be blamed anymore.

"Joseph!" Cooper shouted, causing Joseph to briefly clos

    Savana nodded quickly as she raised her two fingers peacefully in Xavier's direction."Do I look like I'm lying to you, husband?" Savana asked, making an adorable face that made Xavier chuckle."Good, then you're good. If I didn't call you, I apologize because it's hard to get a signal here sometimes." Xavier explained to Savana."Yes, no problem as long as you take care of yourself for me. I was really scared when I heard the news about the terrorists, thank God you're okay," Savana said and Xavier nodded."Capricorn was there?" Savana asked before Xavier could speak.Then the camera suddenly panned to Capricorn driving home. "What's wrong with asking me? You're making the boss jealous, ma'am." Capricorn said with a little chuckle."Ah, why be jealous. I wanted to give you Sheila's regards anyway," Savana said, making Capricorn's cheeks blush while Xavier immediately teased her."Sure, I'm not jealous, but you look like you're blushing, Capricorn. So you're really in love with Sheila

    Sheila eagerly awaited Savana's reply."It seems that Savana has given up on the money issue. Savana can't take back the money Savana gave you. Besides, we did it with an agreement on a stamp and based on the law. Xavier will not agree to get his money back either. So, Mum and Dad, don't worry and we have forgiven you, even though the previous incident was very painful. And in a little while Savana will have something else to do, so that's it, Mum, Dad. Thank you for talking to Savana, I'm sorry I haven't been able to meet you yet.After this long speech, Savana ended the video call without waiting for a reply from her adoptive parents. And that made Sheila look away, holding back her laughter. Anggie and Joseph looked upset, but they didn't want to show it in front of Sheila because it would reveal their true motives."It's OK, Savana's still busy and we'll give her time, OK, honey?" said Joseph, comforting himself and Anggie.Sheila quickly grabbed her mobile again and looked at the

    "Good, it will be safer here under our watch. Now take note of everything and grab anything suspicious on this ship for us to investigate further," said Xavier, who along with Aquarius spoke to Leo before they both went down to meet the others, explaining that this ship had been moved to their territory where it was more visible within range.Xavier scanned every inch of the ship to find a clue. He spotted some items left on the ship and picked them up to take outside. As some of the Zodiac members joined him in the search, Xavier told them to help remove the items from the ship."These items can be evidence, so we know where they came from," Xavier said, to which the other Zodiac members nodded in agreement.About twenty minutes after they had colonised the ship, quite a lot of evidence had been collected. Xavier told them to collect the evidence and put it in a secret place. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the terrorists from using the ship, Xavier took action to close off all access

    It was so boring just being at home with nothing to do. Savana approached her mother-in-law, who happened to be preparing dinner while waiting for David and Guetta to get home from work. Savana wanted to help her, even though there was a cook in the house, Ella sometimes preferred to make some dishes from her own recipes. Savana was proud of her mother-in-law."Can I help you?" Savana asked as she stood beside her mother-in-law."Are you well and not feeling ill? If you are well and not tired, please help mummy, but if you are tired, it is better for Savana to watch mummy cook, because it is not that mummy forbids it, but Savana understands that she is pregnant," Ella said, looking gently at Savana with her big smile.Savana nodded her understanding, then took the vegetables and washed them. "Savana is getting better, it's boring when she has nothing to do at home. I wonder when Savana will be allowed to work?" Savana said, muttering to herself as her hands were busy washing vegetable

    "How is Grandpa?" Sheila, who had just arrived at the hospital, immediately asked one of her siblings."Still under the doctor's care, all because of Uncle Joseph and his wife," Yuan said as he looked sharply at Joseph and Anggie."I told you, I didn't do anything!" Joseph was very angry and upset with his nephew for continuing to accuse him."Patience, we need to calm down and pray that nothing bad happens to Dad," Anggie whispered, immediately calming her husband so that he wouldn't be further provoked. Joseph seemed to take a deep breath, he didn't know what to do as things were getting worse."Shei, aren't you going to tell Savana about Grandpa's condition?" asked Haris, trying to persuade Sheila. "Maybe having Savana here will make Grandpa's condition better," she continued."You still want to try to use Savana with your grandfather's weak condition?" said Jennifer, who had understood them from the beginning, but as time went on, letting her extended family do whatever they want

    "Boss, all the evidence we found was taken by the Captain. And this is what the Captain said for you," said Leo, handing Xavier a brown envelope after meeting with the team in charge of the city's security."Okay, thank you Leo." Xavier took the envelope and went into his room. He frowned as he stared at the envelope before opening it. Out of curiosity, Xavier immediately wanted to know what was inside. There were several photos printed and also a caption that was of particular interest to Xavier."I know this one," Xavier muttered, trying to remember the symbol on the photo.While Xavier was deep in thought, the door suddenly clicked, making him call out that the door was unlocked. A woman entered his room, carrying something on a tray."Commander, I brought you some hot tea with a distinctive aroma of the region and a sweet snack to accompany your work, I hope you like it." Alya smiled broadly as she walked over to Xavier's desk, to which the man only gave a brief nod."Is there an

    Savana and Ella decided to go home after shopping and eating. They didn't forget to bring back some souvenirs for the people back home. Coincidentally, when they arrived at the house, Guetta and David were already there."How was the shopping, was it fun?" David asked as he greeted his wife and brought her things."We brought some sad news," Ella said, looking at her husband with a serious expression on her face."Sad news? What news? Did something happen while you were shopping?" David looked worried and looked at his wife and Savana in turn. "No one was hurt Dad. But I have just heard from Sheila that Grandpa Cooper has died of a heart attack." Savana told her father-in-law.Of course, when David and Guetta heard this, they were quite surprised. They had never heard the news of Cooper's illness and how could he have a heart attack?"What about Savana? Are you going to go there? I don't mind if you want to go, but we'll all come with you, Savana". David said as he looked worriedly a

    "Let's eat first and talk later." David broke the silence by telling everyone to get their food immediately as the food already on the table was in danger of getting cold.Savana, Ella, David and Guetta put aside their busy schedules and decided to concentrate on eating first."I suggest you don't tell Xavier about your pregnancy yet Savana, according to your plan it doesn't matter until the belly is visible so it's a surprise for him later as well as showing the ultrasound results where the baby is very healthy in there so you have to take care of yourself and the baby."Savana nodded in understanding, she was curious to know what had happened to Xavier as there seemed to be things she and Ella didn't know. Perhaps Xavier had communicated with David and Guetta when they both went to the shopping centre. Now Savana waited for David to tell her while she ate."Yes Dad, maybe later we can make an appointment to visit Xavier. Is it possible to go there?" Savana asked, actually she wanted

Meanwhile, Sheila's child, who turned out to be a girl called Emily, had started first grade and would be attending the same school as Sean. Naturally, Sean, who had liked Emily since she was an embryo, was very happy to be at school with Emily Capricorn. "Mum, I want to take Emily to her house!" exclaimed Sean, who was getting ready early in the morning."What? It's very early Sean, Emily must still be asleep." Savana, who had just opened the door to her room because of Sean's buzzing, was surprised to see her son already neatly dressed in his uniform and smelling good. "It's OK Mum, I'll wait for him. Come on Mum, get ready to drive me to Emily's house. If I could only drive, I would definitely pick her up myself," Sean said, causing Savana to shake her head in surprise at her son."All right, just wait. We also need to have breakfast before we go."

Savana told Xavier that she was visiting Sheila's house because Sean really missed Sheila's stomach, then Xavier, who had just finished the meeting, immediately contacted Savana. After a long chat, Savana hung up and went back to Sheila's house. Earlier she had received her call in the back garden of Sheila's house while Sheila and Sean were still sitting in the living room enjoying the cake she had bought quite a lot of at the cake shop earlier."Sean, don't eat too many sweets. When you get home, brush your teeth immediately if you don't want to get cavities".Sean, hearing Savana's advice, could only nod slowly as he continued to enjoy his sweet cake. "Auntie, why are you home alone? Where is Om Capricorn? Does he work like Sean's father?" asked Sean, his curiosity running high.Sheila, who had always liked Sean because of Savana's son's handsome face, never tired of being seen.

Savana was impatient and wanted to know if Sheila's baby was a boy or a girl. She had asked Sheila, but the woman wouldn't tell her. She said only she could know, it would be a surprise."Sean, don't eat too much! It's not good to overdo it, especially if you eat a lot of sweets, do you want a lot of cavities?" said Savana, who looked angry because Sean wasn't listening to her."Dad, why are you mad at Sean? Sean just likes to eat this," said Sean, who even complained to his father about it."Honey, I'm not angry. I'm just telling you. Do you want to be ugly with lots of cavities? It will hurt a lot when you go to the dentist," said Savana, now scaring her son."Dad, Mum scared Sean already!" Sean complained again to Xavie

    Childbirth is a life and death struggle for a woman. Therefore it would be a sin to go against our mothers and hurt them. Now, the title Savana received after her son was born on Earth was that of a mother. She gently rubbed the soft cheeks of her son, who was already scented with Telon oil and dressed like a cocoon."What are you going to call him?" Savana asked Xavier who was sitting next to her looking at her son."Why don't we just call him Sean? Because your name starts with S, so if it's a boy it's Sean, if it's a girl it's something else". Xavier expressed his opinion."Why are you following the initials of my first name?" Savana asked."Because you fought and brought her to this earth." Xavier gave her a sweet smile that brought a blush to Savana's cheeks."Girls are called Xania, right?" Savana asked as she looked intently into Xavier's eyes. "Why Xania?""Because I want to cure your feelings of longing for Xania, but unfortunately our son is a boy. So it doesn't matter if h

Gosh I'm really panicking even though I've been through this before because it hurts so much." Ella said as she gently rubbed Savana's arm, which was being carried away with a tank to lift her body as there was no way anyone else here would hold her as it might make Xavier angry."Mama, it looks like my baby is coming out," Savana cried, sending the whole house into a panic.Ella had to teach Savana how to regulate her breathing so she could hold her until she got to the hospital. Ella also tried to contact Xavier, David an

    "Is anyone hurt?" Xavier asked his men.Another attack on their last port of call. There was an intruder who sent a bomb, which fortunately was immediately noticed by one of the Zodiac members so that they could still survive and they immediately deactivated the bomb. Now they are trying to track down the traitor, who seems to be part of the same group. Xavier will not spare anyone who dares to disturb his territory. That is why he will never return and will not be able to accompany his wife's pregnancy. Moreover, Sheila had just sent a voicemail about Savana's hopes, which made Xavier even more angry and determined to finish off whoever had betrayed him. "No boss, we're fine!" Leo reported, already preparing to shoot any enemies who dared to approach the location."Alright, now we go and catch the culprit. I'm sure he's not far from here.

Scorpio replied while chewing her food.Then shortly after, Capricorn appeared. "I'm late?" Capricorn seemed to be asking the others."No, we haven't finished all the food yet."

By this time, the company's share price had collapsed and all investors had withdrawn their money. Sheila was so shocked that she stopped caring about her family. If they wanted to control her grandfather's company, she would let them. She would not be greedy and fight for it. All she cared about was that her family's business grew.Fortunately, Sheila had taken care to separate herself from her grandfather so that her company's operations were no longer linked to Cooper's. Since the director at the time had decided to go to Yuan, Sheila, who Yuan thought might be a troublemaker, had been removed, making it easier for Yuan to destroy her."Shei, have you seen the news, dear?"

"I wanted to work with you when your company was under Cooper. But now that the ownership has changed, I'm not interested because I think things will be different. You have such potential and are so creative that I am sure anything under your control will definitely be a success".Savana was touched to receive such praise.
