  Chapter 161It was morning at the head office, and the service corridor was still quiet when Damian stopped in front of the HR room. He straightened his blue uniform—there was a small Office Support label on the left pocket—then took a deep breath. Today he would receive his salary.Jamshon, the HR officer, greeted him warmly. "Congratulations, Damian. Here are your pay slip and ATM payroll card."Damian smiled stiffly. “Yes. Thank you.”“Clean work, neat reports—the cleaning supervisor is pleased,” Jamshon said. “Keep up the pace, and you could get a raise soon.”Damian signed the receipt, then left. In the corridor, he encountered Tamara carrying a stack of mood boards for the Fashion Week presentation.“Payday?” Tamara asked, noticing the white envelope in Damian’s hand. Damian nodded. “Finally. Tonight I’m going to take Katty, Delya, and Alva out for pizza. Let them forget their sorrows for a while.” Tamara patted his shoulder. “Good. They need some cheer. You do too.”Damian

  Chapter 160A month had passed since the emergency surgery. Elena was still lying in the ICU, her fingers occasionally twitching, but she had not yet opened her eyes. Meanwhile, at the Sebastian family mansion, Grandmother Clara insisted on holding a "Recognition Party" for the twins who had just returned from the NICU—Ellyn and Edward.The ballroom of the large house was filled with relatives, business associates, and several social figures. Classical music played softly, and waiters bustled about carrying trays of champagne. In the corner of the room, two baby boxes were decorated softly; Ellyn was wrapped in a pink blanket, Edward in sky blue. Nathan stood nearby, wearing a black suit, his face tense. Sonia cradled Edward, while Tamara watched over Ellun.Grandmother Clara stepped onto a small podium in the middle of the room and tapped her silver glass. The guests' voices immediately quieted."Thank you all for coming," the woman said loudly. "Today, the Sebastian family officiall

  Chapter 159The "OPERATING" light above the door finally went out. Dr. Alana came out still wearing a mask and a sterile green cap. Nathan, Sonia, Tamara, and Damian stood up simultaneously.“Mrs. Elena has given birth,” Dr. Alana explained. “Twins—one boy, one girl. Their weight is normal for 34 weeks. The babies are in a light NICU incubator, just for respiratory monitoring.”Shock mixed with relief swept across Nathan’s face. “Are my children safe?”“Yes,” the doctor replied. “But Mrs. Elena lost a lot of blood. We performed a transfusion, her heart rate is now stable, but she hasn’t regained consciousness yet. We’ve placed her in the ICU to monitor her organ functions closely.”Nathan nodded, his eyes teary. “Can I see Elena for a moment?”“Later, after we set up the equipment,” the doctor said gently. “About ten minutes from now.”The ICU corridor was silent. Behind the glass window, Elena’s body lay with IV tubes and a flickering heart monitor. Nathan stood with his palm pressed

  Chapter 158The car stopped right in front of the mansion's main door. Nathan hurriedly got out and opened the door for Elena, who looked pale and tired. Tamara also got out immediately, helping to guide Elena's children, who were asleep in the car."Come on, slowly," said Nathan, holding Elena's hand.Elena nodded, but before she could step inside the house, her body suddenly bent over.“Ahh!” she cried, holding her stomach. “My stomach… Nathan, it hurts…!”Nathan panicked immediately. “Honey? Honey! What’s wrong?”Tamara quickly caught Elena’s body before she fell. “Oh my God, El! What’s wrong?”“My stomach hurts so badly, like it’s being stabbed… this is different… this isn’t a normal contraction…” Elena’s voice was cut off by a deep groan of pain. “We need to go to the hospital now!” Nathan looked panicked. Elena’s children joined in the panic because of the commotion; they were scared seeing their mother in pain. “Mommy, what’s wrong?” Delya asked fearfully.“Don’t panic, swee

  Chapter 157"So, should we just end the search now?" Damian asked softly, almost in a whisper. His eyes looked at Elena, searching for a glimmer of hope to reject the bitter reality.Elena lowered her head for a moment, her breath caught in her throat. Then she nodded slowly, her voice barely audible, "Yes... let's end it."Everyone fell silent. Even the wind seemed to stop for a moment.“But why give up so quickly?” Damian persisted, his voice beginning to tremble. “We can keep searching further, maybe along the coast, maybe through remote villages. There are still so many possibilities!”Nathan spoke up, calmly but heavily, “We’ve searched everywhere, Damian. Six months. Mountains, rivers, seas, land. Search and rescue teams, police, volunteers. We even spread the information to all media outlets. But there’s no sign…”“The police said…” Elena interrupted, swallowing hard before continuing, “… that Olivia might have been swept out to sea. Because the river’s course does lead directl

  Chapter 156The morning air above the hills was still damp with dew. A thin fog hung between the trees, adding to the silence. On top of a small cliff overlooking the ravine and the rushing river below, several people stood with sad faces.Among them, Elena stood in a simple black dress, her swollen belly indicating that she was eight months pregnant. Her hands held a burning incense stick, its smoke dancing slowly into the air, as if carrying unheard prayers.Nathan stood beside Elena, dressed in dark attire, silent and steadfast. Sonia stood not far behind them, alongside Tamara and Damian. Grandmother Clara was also present, her face older than six months ago, her eyes swollen though she still tried to show resolve. And Elena’s three children were also gathered there.“I still can’t believe it...” Elena whispered softly, gazing down into the ravine toward the rushing river. “It’s been six months since Olivia left... and we’ve tried searching, but there’s not a single trace.”Nathan
