The sun entered the window gap. Renata blinked her eyes many times and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the room where she was. And the figure of her mother was seen opening the curtains in the room.
"Mother..."The call made Agneta turn to the source of the voice."Morning, child. Did Mother disturb your sleep?" asked Agneta, who was now walking over to her."No, Mother," Renata replied, getting up from her position. She now sat leaning against the head of the gurney. Renata looked around and glanced out the door."Mom, help you clean up and change your clothes. You must feel uncomfortable because you haven't bathed," Agneta said.As there was no response, Agneta looked at Renata, who kept glancing out of the room as if looking for someone. Agneta understood and knew who Renata was looking for."Are you looking for Bastian?" asked Agneta."Eh? No, why am I looking for him? What did you say?" asked Renata."If you're wondering whRenata woke up from her night's sleep. She dreamt that a man kidnapped her, threatened her, and forced her to marry him."It was just a dream," Renata muttered, wiping her face, which was full of beads of sweat. "Who was that evil man? His face was unclear, but he was so evil that he kidnapped me and forced me to marry him.""What happened? You had a nightmare."The question made Renata turn to the source of the voice. She was quite surprised to see a man sitting on the sofa."You had a nightmare?" asked the man, who was now walking towards the gurney where Renata was.Renata was able to see that the man was Bastian, who was said to be her husband."Are you here?" asked Renata."Yes, I accompany you even every night." Renata was pensive upon hearing that. She didn't even know that Bastian always accompanied her; every time she woke up, it was only her mother who came."Drink up," Bastian said, offering water to Renata, who was now sitting on t
Julian slept in the guest room; he went out of the room to the kitchen area. There, Maria was busy holding a fussy Ariana and trying to feed her.Julian walked over to them. "What happened to Ariana?" Julian asked.Maria was quite surprised to see Julian's presence, but she tried to neutralize her expression."She has a fever; she didn't sleep all night. I can't disturb Bastian either; he is accompanying and taking care of Renata," said Maria."Ari, beautiful boy. Want to come with Grandpa? Let's feed the fish," Julian invited, extending both hands towards the child.Ariana sobbed while maintaining a long stare at Julian."Do you want to feed the fish?""Yes, we'll feed the fish; how about it?" Julian asked."Grandma, is that okay?""Yes, dear," Maria replied.When Ariana asked him to carry her, Julian was happy. "You come too; once in a while, you can feed Ari," Julian said to Maria."Umm... okay."They walked to the backy
Today, Nichol was preparing with Calvin in their room."Lizard, you're coming to my wedding next month, right?" Calvin asked.Nichol stopped his movements. "I decided to work at Doctor Bastian's hospital," Nichol replied."Why do you keep changing places?" Calvin protested.Nichol now took a seat on the side of the bed. "You obviously know the reason. I haven't gotten over it at all," Nichol replied."It's been three years since that incident," Calvin said."I liked her for 10 years. These three years are nothing." Nichol let out a long sigh. "I move around to avoid boredom, and when I get bored, I'll think of her again.""I don't know what to say. Love is complicated," Calvin replied."I accepted Doctor Bastian's offer to work here. Besides, there's Renata and Ariana here, so at least I won't be bored. Even if I have to be Ari's caretaker, I don't mind either. The important thing is that I don't think about her anymore. Every time I remember
Renata was allowed to return to the mansion. It's just that she still needs to sit in a wheelchair and do walking therapy to strengthen her leg muscles.Bastian brings Renata back to the mansion and takes her to their room to rest. Ariana was on Renata's lap because she didn't want to be apart from her mommy.They arrived at the main room, and during the trip to the room, Renata kept looking around her. There were some things that made her pensive for a moment. This mansion was familiar to her."Here we are," Bastian said. "Come here, Ari." Bastian carried Ariana in his arms. Then he sat the boy on the bed."Do you want to move onto the bed?" Bastian asked."Umm... yes." Bastian took Renata into his arms and sat her on the bed."Today I have to go to the hospital for a while because of work. Do you mind if I stay?" Bastian asked."Yes, it's fine," Renata replied."Mom will be here later to keep you company," said Bastian. "I'll only be gone fo
Regan and Angela had returned with their children to Britain. After they left, Renata took a walk in the park by herself. Her daughter was with Agneta and Maria, who were at the playground.Renata stood on the bridge connecting the headquarters and the mansion."What exactly is this tall and large building for? It's even bigger than the mansion. Plus, there are so many people there. Is this like a foundation? Or does he keep a lot of subordinates?" muttered Renata."Why are you here, Rena?" asked Lucas, who saw Renata not far from him.Renata frowned at the figure in front of her."I'm sorry; you must not remember me. I'm Lucas, Bastian's cousin's brother," Lucas explained."Oh, hello, Lucas," Renata exclaimed, making Lucas smile."Why are you here alone?" Lucas asked."It's okay. I just wanted to take a walk," Renata replied."Alright. Then I'll stay then," said Lucas, who was answered with a nod of the head by Renata.This Bastian
Renata and Bastian had returned to the mansion that night. And there was a lively atmosphere. They entered the room and saw many people in the living room."Renata!" Aline ran up to Renata and hugged her, leaving Renata rooted to the spot in confusion. "Thankfully, Rena is fine and has regained consciousness.""Who are you?" The question Renata posed caused Aline to freeze.The woman released her hug and smiled at Renata. "I'm Aline, Bastian's sister," Aline said. "Emm, Rena forgot, then let's get acquainted again."Aline thrust her hand towards Renata."Hello, sister-in-law, I'm Aline.""Renata," Renata said, welcoming Aline's hand."You guys have gone home. Then let's have dinner," Julian suggested.Renata looked at the man with a feeling of fear, but Julian was seen holding Ariana; not far from him was also Davero. They looked quite close, but for some reason, Renata felt a sense of dread when she saw Julian's figure. What's going on? Renat
Renata had just woken up from her sleep. She stretched both her hands into the air."Eughhh!!!"She looked around the empty room with no sign of life there other than her."That guy left without saying anything," grumbled Renata, getting up from her bed. She was quite surprised to see a tray filled with toast with her favorite strawberry jam, not to mention hot chocolate still puffing smoke."Did he prepare all this?" she muttered. Renata rushed into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. After that, she took a seat on the sofa and enjoyed the toast spread with strawberry jam."How much does he know about me and my preferences? But I don't even know him," she muttered, taking another bite of the toast."Mommy..."The call made Renata giggle. The woman hurriedly got up from her seat and walked towards the door. She opened the door and saw Ariana in Aline's arms."Hello, sweetheart," Renata greeted, taking Ariana into her arms. "Did
Renata and Aline got out of the car when they arrived at the hospital lobby. Renata was quite amazed by the luxurious, large, and elite hospital that belonged to her husband."The name of the hospital is familiar," Renata muttered."Yes, because Rena already knew from the beginning," Aline chuckled, making Renata smile.They walked down the lobby and made their way to the elevator. During that time, all eyes were on Renata, especially the gaze of the men who seemed not to look away from Renata's beautiful figure."Wow, you're the center of attention," Aline chuckled as they got into the elevator."What's wrong with me? I don't feel like dressing up too much," Renata exclaimed as she smoothed the shawl bag that was tied around her shoulder."Renata's brother is very beautiful; that's why all eyes are on you," Aline chuckled."You are something else. You are prettier, especially the color of your blue eyes; it looks charming," said Renata, making Ali
