Two days had passed...Tiffany's moods were dwindling as Erland had truly died; he no longer contacted her nor returned. She also failed to get a response from Franco when she tried reaching out, making her think that this was all because her husband wanted to distance himself from her. It led her to speculate that he had started remembering his past, which would make him hate her just as he did before."This feels like the bomb I've always feared, and it's exploding now," she said despondently, stirring her drink with a long, red-and-white striped straw."And when you know a bomb is going to explode, you should find a way to protect yourself from getting hurt," replied Miranda, who was sitting across from Tiffany."How?""You already tried by getting pregnant... But I guess that wasn't enough to make him pay attention to you.""It seems impossible... I don't even feel any remaining affection or love from him... Everything just seems to pass without leaving any impression..." Tiffany

"Erland, Erland!"Maelie immediately embraced Erland, cradling his head and looking at him through her tears. A few seconds later, Ava and Aiden joined in."Daddy, Daddy, wake up!""Daddy!"Thomas stood frozen, his eyes wide open, his body trembling, as if unable to believe that Erland had been hurt because of his actions, his selfishness."Mr. Gerald!"The voice of someone who had just arrived startled him. Thomas turned to see Tommy arriving with Amanda and a blonde man."How could you do this? You just wanted Erland to follow your wishes without considering his safety. You’re insane, absolutely insane!" Tommy shouted, venting all his frustration while pointing at Thomas's face. "What kind of father are you? Your treatment of Erland isn’t that of a father to his son but of a devil to a slave!"Thomas swallowed hard, glancing at Erland who was still unconscious and surrounded by his wife and children."If you dare bother them again, you’ll be dealing with me... I’m not afraid. I have

Alaska ...In a minimalist, monochromatic house, Tiffany woke up and hurried to the bathroom, still only in her red underwear, while Leo remained in bed.Once in the bathroom, she immediately vomited and then rinsed her mouth.She panted, leaning her hands on the sink while staring at her reflection in the mirror."Oh my God, I think I’ve been overdoing it... This is my first trimester; I should be resting more," she whispered anxiously, then touched her still-flat stomach. "Or maybe I shouldn't have this baby? After all, Erland doesn't care about me. If I weren't pregnant, it would be much easier to leave him and give myself to Leo.""Tiffany, Tiffany!"The voice from the door distracted her, making her open it and see Leo looking at her worriedly."I heard you vomiting, are you sick?" Leo asked curiously, noticing Tiffany’s somewhat pale lips and flushed face."Um, I’m just a bit tired," Tiffany replied nervously."Are you sure?""Yeah..." Tiffany smiled, then approached Leo and imm

11:00 PM Swiss TimeAmanda was still at Erland's house, wearing Maelie's clothes since she didn't bring a change of clothes, while Tommy borrowed Erland's clothes because all their clothes were at the hotel where they were staying. The girl didn’t go to sleep immediately but sat daydreaming on the porch while watching the darkening sky. Occasionally, she slapped her arm or some parts of her body bitten by mosquitoes."I think this will make you more comfortable," said Tommy as he came out with a mosquito spray and then sprayed it around the porch area. "In this humid season, the mosquito population is uncontrollable, and their bites are very annoying!"Amanda gave a faint smile, amused by Tommy's complaints."I couldn't sleep in the room at all," Tommy said as he sat next to Amanda, glancing at her looking sweet in a maroon hoodie, almost matching him as he wore a maroon sweater. "By the way, our clothes are similar," he continued with a smile.Amanda smiled faintly and looked at hers

Early in the morning, Maelie was already awake to prepare breakfast before her children woke up. This was because their babysitter did not stay overnight but would come from morning until afternoon.The woman made pancakes, added her homemade blueberry jam, and also fried eggs, sausages, and nuggets. She arranged everything on plates, and then brought them to the dining table."Sis...""Hey, you're already up," she said as she saw Amanda entering the minimalist kitchen that was integrated with the dining area. "I only made a simple breakfast... But maybe later I'll make a special lunch, and of course your favorite," she continued with a smile, walking back towards the pantry.Amanda fell silent, watching her sister who was so busy preparing breakfast and even planning to cook her favorite meal later while she would be going to Alaska with Tommy. This made her anxious, feeling hesitant to ask for permission."Do you want hot chocolate?" asked Maelie as she took out several glasses from
