The throbbing in Alethea's head turned into dizziness, causing her vision to blur. The increasing heat of the sun and the pattern in front of her made her feel nauseous.

She placed her drawing pencil down and stopped coloring. Choosing to close her book, she noticed Shareeza looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? Are you bored?" Shareeza asked, surprised.

Alethea smiled and shook her head but immediately regretted it as it made her head feel like it was spinning. Shareeza observed Alethea closely, then pulled out some tissue and handed it to her.

"You're sweating. Are you hot?" the little girl asked, looking at the thin cardigan Alethea was wearing.

Alethea wiped her forehead with the tissue Shareeza gave her, but Shareeza had misjudged. Alethea wasn't hot; she was actually feeling a chill, and the sweat on her forehead was cold sweat, not the kind from heat.

    Thea did not wait for her mother’s response. She had already made her decision, and she would continue her journey back to the capital with Sebastian and the others.“So, we’re going to get married?” Sebastian asked after they had traveled dozens of kilometers, stopping briefly at one of the rest areas while the ambulance continued on its way to the hospital Sebastian had chosen.Thea turned to him, her eyes filled with confusion.“What do you mean?”“Earlier, what you said to your mother… you said you wanted to be my woman. That means you’re going to marry me,” Sebastian replied with a sweet smile.“You know that’s not what I meant,” Thea said shyly, turning her flushed face away—clearly not because of the heat.“Then what did you mean?” Sebastian asked back.“I said it because I was corn

    “Everything is ready,” Isam informed everyone gathered in Thea’s grandmother’s room.After consulting with the doctor, Thea finally decided to accept Sebastian’s offer to take her grandmother to the hospital in the capital. The ambulance had been prepared, and not only a nurse but even a specialized doctor had been requested to accompany the journey.“I’m very sorry. The facilities in this hospital are still very limited. And as doctors, we also have our own limitations,” said the doctor who had been caring for Thea’s grandmother. As a layperson with little medical knowledge, Thea could only nod in understanding.For the trip, Thea’s grandmother would be transported by ambulance, while Helen, Pierre, Thea, and Sebastian would follow in a car provided by Pierre, driven by Sebastian’s personal chauffeur. The car Sebastian had previously used was now driven by Maxin

    Thea opened her eyes and felt an ache in her left arm. When she lifted it, she saw an IV needle attached there. She frowned, then turned to look at the IV bag hanging above.“You’re awake?”Thea turned and saw Sebastian emerging from behind one of the walls.“What happened?” Thea asked in confusion, trying to sit up.“You fainted,” Sebastian replied, helping adjust the bed’s backrest so she could sit more comfortably.“Fainted?” Thea repeated, bewildered. Sebastian only gave a slow nod in response. Even he was puzzled—had she really forgotten what had caused her to faint?Not long after, Helen, Pierre, and Maxine appeared. They had just returned from a very late lunch. The three of them looked at Thea with the same confusion Sebastian had shown.“What happened?” Maxine whispered. Sebastian shook his head; he

    Sebastian looked at Thea, lying pale-faced on the bed of a VIP hospital room, right next to the ward where her grandmother was being treated.Sebastian was deeply shaken when he heard the news that Thea had fainted in the middle of the negotiation between Pierre and her mother. He rushed to her room the moment he received the message and found Thea being treated by a medical staff.“Don’t you dare go back on your word, Sir,” Hera said to Pierre as the nurse hooked an IV into Thea’s hand.Sebastian glared at the woman, furious at how she still prioritized money over caring about her own daughter’s condition. But as if her soul had long since died, she showed no shame or discomfort at all.“How is she?” Sebastian asked the doctor examining Thea.“There’s no serious problem. This young lady seems to be just exhausted. I’ll add some vitamins to her IV

    “When did I ever make a promise to marry Mr. Carter?” Thea asked her mother with a look of disbelief. “I don’t like him. I’ve never even met him. Why am I suddenly being forced to marry him?” Her tone grew emotional, because clearly, her mother’s words sounded like nonsense that had no basis in reality.“Enough, Thea. Don’t pretend. We both know exactly what Mr. Carter wants, and I’ve already agreed to his request,” her mother replied with a smile on her face. “I’ve arranged your marriage,” she continued with a sly grin. “And regarding my daughter’s work contract with all of you, I won’t interfere. Mr. Carter already knows about it, and he’s willing to wait. He won’t approach Thea until she comes back in a few months.”“You say you won’t interfere, but you’ve clearly already violated one of the clauses

    Thea was ironing her clothes and Sebastian’s clothes that had just come out of the dryer when her mother returned in a hurry.“Good, you’re still here,” her mother said, looking at Thea with relief.“Why? What happened? Is Grandma alright?” Thea asked anxiously, worried something might have happened to her grandmother.“She’s fine. She’s looking for you. Come on, hurry back to the hospital,” her mother said firmly, making Sebastian’s brows furrow.“What are you doing? Get the car ready. We need to get to the hospital quickly,” her mother ordered Sebastian curtly.Thea turned to Sebastian, but the man remained silent and chose to walk out of the house toward the car.“Come on, get everything ready,” her mother urged again, half forcing her.“But this isn’t finished yet,” Thea rep
