Daniel exited the ward and trailed behind Shelly as they headed downstairs and out of the hospital.When they reached the car, walking side by side, Shelly suddenly stepped ahead of him and got onto her knees.Daniel was shocked. He hurriedly helped her to her feet and asked with concern, "Mrs. Lawson, what's wrong?"Despite Daniel's efforts to help her up, Shelly remained on her knees. She cried inconsolably."Daniel, I'm kneeling to apologize to you. Please spare Sienna. I've already lost my husband. I can't bear to lose my daughter, too. How will I go on without her?"Daniel felt a crushing weight in his chest. It was as if his heart had been struck with a heavy blow. Sorrow clouded his eyes, and tears reddened them."Mrs. Lawson, I'll do everything to fulfill your request, whatever it may be. Please, stand as you speak."Shelly stood up and said, "Daniel! I want you to know that I do like you. But I can't ignore the fear that's been gnawing at me since you and Sienna started

Sienna's presence transformed the living room into a warm, vibrant space. Daniel's recent somber mood dissipated instantly and was replaced by a rush of emotion.With measured steps, he approached Sienna and sank to one knee before her. His reddened eyes bore into her with an intense desire. He couldn't hide his longing and affection.Sienna lay curled on her side. Her soft, silky hair cascaded over her delicate features. Her enchanting appearance ignited an overwhelming urge in Daniel to caress her and, most of all, to kiss her.He delicately brushed Sienna's stray hairs aside and tucked them behind her ear. His face inched closer to hers, eager to feel her lips against his.His eyes narrowed, his breath quickening, and his heart pounding faster with each passing moment. Yet, just as he was on the brink of kissing Sienna, he abruptly stopped.Clenching his fist tightly, Daniel fought against the overwhelming desire and resisted the temptation to kiss her.His heart shattered int

Daniel no longer asked about Sienna's well-being, showed any concern, or affectionately called her Sisi. He had become noticeably indifferent toward her over the past 20 days."What?" Sienna reached for the documents and flipped through them. She found a property transfer agreement. Continuing to flip through the papers, she stumbled upon a check for 20 million dollars.Confused, she asked, "Daniel, what are these for?"Daniel stayed composed, his demeanor as calm as water. "They're for you.""Why are you giving me money and a house?" Sienna's mind refused to entertain the possibilities. She trembled as she set the documents down on the table with care.Daniel reclined on the couch with his eyes fixed on Sienna, a depth of emotion within them. He couldn't bear to continue speaking.Though unsure if Sienna would feel heartbroken, he couldn't ignore the heavy burden of his heartache, which made finding the right words incredibly challenging.After a moment of silence, Daniel doubl

Sienna experienced heartbreak twice with her first love. She was surprised by how much it hurt.Every night, when the quiet settled in, thoughts of Daniel would overwhelm her. And she'd find herself crying until she fell asleep.A few days later, Sienna gathered all the gifts Daniel had given her and arranged for them to be sent back to him through a courier service. However, they were returned to her.It turned out that the address was no longer occupied. That was when Sienna realized that their relationship had finally ended.She tucked away the gifts Daniel had given her and buried the memories of their relationship deep within her heart. Only she understood the depth of her love for Daniel.Sienna harbored no resentment toward him. Instead, her heart overflowed with wishes for his happiness, peace, and joy."What's happening between you and Captain Morrison, Sienna? I heard he got transferred. What's going on?" Felix asked.Looking detached and uninterested, Sienna replied c

Sienna used up all her savings, and Shelly did the same. Shelly went even further by selling their corner store and borrowing money from relatives.Together, they gathered 250 thousand dollars to pay off the injured man.After that, their house turned bleak and lonely; a heavy sadness hung in the air. Shelly's illness got worse, and she stopped caring about anything.Busy from looking after Shelly and working to make ends meet, Sienna felt exhausted and drained. As time passed, she found herself unable to spare any time or energy for thoughts of Daniel. Meanwhile, Shelly was engulfed by severe depression. Her appetite vanished, sleep eluded her, and tears flowed daily as she lay in bed, devoid of motivation.She withdrew from the outside world, finding solace only in the memories captured in photos of her husband and son. She often spent hours huddled in a corner, weeping.Sienna dutifully sent a few hundred dollars to the prison monthly to ensure Felix had better meals. On visi
