Eric immediately stopped Hazel. He knew how upset Hazel was by Bella and James's arrival, one after the other, without any shame or guilt. But Eric also didn't want Hazel to have bigger problems than before.

“Can't you just let me live in peace, James?! Why are you always so unhappy when Bella teases me?” Hazel snapped.

James remained silent, staring at Hazel, whose body was being held by Eric to prevent her from attacking. Honestly, he desperately wanted to hug Hazel, to apologize with all his heart, even though he knew he couldn’t be forgiven.

Meanwhile, Eric was worried that he was holding Hazel too tightly and might hurt her. But there was no other way.

“Hazel, I just...”

“Go away, James. I’m sick of seeing you!” Hazel pushed James away and slammed the apartment door shut.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief that Hazel didn't use the vase in her hand to attack him. He took it from Hazel's hand, placed it on the table, then gently stroked Hazel's head and smiled slightly.

    It has been a week since Hazel and Eric moved. Hazel continues to undergo therapy with a psychiatrist who is none other than one of Eric's close friends. Specifically, Eric pays his friend solely to take care of Hazel.Many things have happened since Hazel shared all the issues she’s been holding inside. Hazel also has to take sleeping pills temporarily to help her forget her problems and sleep peacefully.However, the side effects of the sleeping pills aren’t sound. Hazel often finds herself walking around while still asleep.“Hazel?” Eric called out when he woke up and didn’t find Hazel in bed.Panicked, Eric ran around looking for Hazel, worried she might have done something dangerous. But he found Hazel putting on her shoes, dressed neatly, and wearing a mask on her face.“Where are you going so late at night?” Eric asked, breathing a sigh of relief.Hazel turned and smiled. “I want to buy some things. Don't worry, I'm wearing a mask so no one will recognize me,” she replied.“I'l

    “Wow...” Bella clapped her hands in admiration at the way Eric defended Hazel.Her envy of Hazel surfaced repeatedly. She felt that the world was very unfair to her, as she was always surrounded by people who made her want to do bad things. Hazel, on the other hand, was not. Everyone around Hazel seemed willing to do anything for her.Always like that. Never changing, even when everyone thought Zia was dead.“You defended Zia so bravely, Eric.” Whether it was a compliment or a mockery, she didn't know.Eric sighed softly and moved the knife away from Bella. He lost his patience when he saw Hazel crying like that. He felt pain when Hazel was angry, but didn't say or do anything.“I asked you to leave. Not to make Hazel cry.” Eric opened the door, letting Bella out of his apartment.Bella glanced at Hazel without hiding her jealousy. Her whole life, she had never been noticed by anyone unless she asked for it. Because she was often overlooked, Bella always sought attention by becoming t

    Hazel folded her arms and snorted in annoyance several times when she opened the door to her apartment and found Bella standing there with a bouquet and, of course, her sly smile that never left her face.“What do you want?” Hazel asked curtly.Bella giggled and walked into Hazel's apartment without permission, finding Eric sound asleep on the sofa with his laptop still on the table.“Is he your boyfriend, Zia?” Bella asked.“None of your business, and can you just get to the point? I'm busy.” Hazel made it clear she wasn't happy about Bella being there.Instead of quickly stating her purpose, Bella approached the sofa where Eric was asleep, leaning her body against the sofa backrest and gazing at Eric with sparkling eyes.Hazel curled one corner of her lips, understanding that the slut was at it again, trying to win Eric's heart.“Can I kiss him?” Bella asked.“Why are you asking me if it's Eric you want to kiss?” Hazel replied. “Oh my God, I forgot!” Hazel tapped her forehead and la

    James was still waiting for Hazel to come to his office to work. Their collaboration had not been severed, and James was hopeful of seeing Hazel again because Eric would not allow him to meet Hazel if James came to see her.James' physical condition is starting to weaken. He hasn't touched any food at all. His hopes are still high that Zia is still alive and has been around him all this time. James wants Zia to be in his life, no matter why it happened.“Sir, you need to eat,” Emma said, bringing a food tray.James did not respond. He had already turned down several new clients and canceled many meetings because he was completely unfocused, all because he wanted to meet Hazel.“Sir,” Emma sat in front of James, looking pityingly at her boss.“Emma, how did you realize that Hazel was Zia when you first met her?” James asked suddenly.Emma looked confused when James suddenly asked about that, which meant that her guess might have been correct.“Her eyes when she looked at you, Mr. James

    “Eric, can you please get James out of here? He keeps staring at me, and it's scaring me.”Eric turned around and found Hazel asleep on another bed facing him, pointing to a corner directly opposite Hazel's bed.For days, Hazel had been saying that James was staring at her. However, James was not around, especially since Eric had strictly forbidden Hazel from leaving the apartment because her case was still ongoing, even though Edward had sacrificed himself to go to prison.Despite his exhaustion, Eric took care of Hazel very well, making sure she never felt alone, which could lead her to harm herself.“What should I do about James?” Eric asked, responding to Hazel's hallucination.“I just don't want him near me,” Hazel replied.Eric nodded and walked toward Hazel’s bed, gently stroking her head to help her fall asleep. Due to the incident, Hazel developed insomnia and resumed taking antidepressants, which caused her hallucinations to persist.“James is gone,” Eric whispered.Hazel re
