"Erika... You're home, sweetheart?" Mom asked, walking toward me.

I didn't answer. My eyes remained glued to Jefri. He was staring at me without blinking, his expression unreadable. I couldn't tell what was going through his mind; he was a brick wall.

"Sweetheart... Come on, let me get you something to eat," Mom said gently, putting an arm around my shoulder.

But Mom's voice might as well have been background noise. In my heart, I was screaming, 'I don't need food, I need him right now.'

    A few moments later, Jefri’s phone rang. He loosened his grip on me for a second, then answered the call on speakerphone."Yes, Niken?""I’ve already handled the hospital registration for Miss Erika, sir.""What about the other party involved in the accident?""There were no casualties or injuries. Only the car was wrecked, and I’ve taken care of the liability.""Erika’s car?""It’s at the insurance workshop now, sir.""Any legal issues?""No, everything is secured."Jefri let out a long sigh of relief, the tension on his face slowly fading. Was he really that worried? Did he truly have that much love for me?"Alright, Niken. Thank you."After the call ended, a nurse came in to remove my IV. "You’re clear to go home, miss," she said kindly before walking away.Jefri and I locked eyes for a long time before he finally let out a long breath. "Let's go home," he said, his tone intentionally gruff, as if he were still annoyed."But my leg still hurts..." I whined, putting on a pitiful exp

    I don’t know how long I was unconscious. My body jolted as I felt a throbbing pain in my head. I felt warmth in my hand, which was being gripped very tightly. Then, Jefri’s faint voice slowly drifted in."Wake up, Erika. Please, I’m begging you to wake up..." he said, his tone heavy with desperation.Slowly, I opened my eyes. He was leaning in, head bowed while still clutching my hand, looking like a man completely broken. Unconsciously, a faint smile graced my lips at the sight."I’m sorry for leaving you. I’m sorry for being a coward all this time. Wake up, Erika... Please... Don’t leave me. Don’t drive me crazy again, Erika... Please, wake up..."His voice was raspy, barely audible. I could feel his palm, damp with cold sweat, as he held my fingers."Do you love me?" I whispered, my voice still incredibly weak.Jefri flinched. He immediately lifted his head, staring at me with wide, stunned eyes. "Erika? You’re awake?!" he asked, his eyes suddenly lighting up with hope.He scramble

  • My Ruthless Professor    CHAPTER 153: LONGING TURNED FATAL

    My blood rushed, and my heart began to pound uncontrollably. I quickly looked away, feeling my face heat up. I was sure my cheeks were flushed deep red, like ripe cherries."Get some rest... You have to be at the office tomorrow," he said, his tone gentle and warm. It successfully made my lips tremble, fighting back a smile that wanted to break free.I bowed my head, my feet fidgeting nervously because of the overwhelming tension. "Don't... don't you miss me?" I muttered, not daring to meet his eyes.Jefri didn’t answer immediately; he gently lifted my chin, forcing our eyes to lock once more. "What do you think?" he whispered warmly, right in front of my face.We stared into each other’s eyes for several seconds, as if trying to convey a thousand words that had been stuck in our throats all this time. I smiled to myself. My heart was racing faster than ever, like a horse in a heated sprint.Jefri’s face leaned in closer, his head tilted slightly as if trying to find the perfect angle

Come on, let me get you something to eat," Mom said gently, putting an arm around my shoulder.But Mom's voice might as well have been background noise. In my heart, I was screaming, 'I don't need food, I need him right now.'And yet, what was he doing? He just stood there in stony silence, staring at me. Not a single word escaped his lips. Didn't he want to tell me he'd missed me?"Erika... Why are you so quiet?" Mom asked again, scrutinizing my face with concern.I froze. I still couldn't pull my gaze away from the man I loved. Without thinking, I muttered softly, "I missed you..."Jefri's eyes widened. I noticed his fingers gripping each other tightly in his lap, as if he were struggling to hold something back."Huh? Yo

    "My fault?" I asked, my brow deeply furrowed.Dita lifted her chin. Her wet eyes met mine, her lips trembling. "Answer me honestly now. Are you angry because I betrayed Jefri, or because you were jealous of Roy?"I let out a bitter laugh, fighting back my emotions, staring at her as my eyes began to well up. "Do you still think I’m in love with Roy?""Yeah. That’s what you told him, isn't it?" she replied cynically, crossing her arms over her chest.I massaged my throbbing temples. "How many times do I have to say it? I’ve never loved Roy, Dita...""Then why did you accept his love in front of everyone?!" she snapped, her eyes blazing. She stepped forward, demanding an answer.My anger suddenly faded, replaced by a sense of regret that was hard to put into words. "I..." My voice caught in my throat.I looked down, struggling to hide the shame and rage swirling in my chest. "I was jealous of you," I whispered, barely audible.Dita was stunned. She immediately cupped my cheeks, forcing

    I pulled Sherly’s hand, dragging her away from Mama. "Tell me the truth, what is actually going on? Why did you lie to me back then?" I demanded."Which lie are you talking about, Sis?" she countered, trying to evade the question.I took a deep breath, fighting to control the emotions rising within me. "Sherly, when we first met in Jefri’s office... why were you acting as if you’d just had sex?!" I asked sharply.Sherly gave a thin, obviously forced smile. She looked away, scratching the back of her neck, clearly feeling awkward. "I'm sorry, Sis. I was just told to do it by Jefri," she replied apologetically."For what? Why would he do that?" I asked, my curiosity spiraling into an interrogation.Sherly jumped, her face full of unease. "Oh, goodness... about that, you’d better just ask Jefri," she said, her voice wavering. "I have to go now, Kak. Excuse me..."She tried to slip away, but I quickly grabbed her hoodie. "Hey... wait a minute. You can't just run off after successfully dec
