The cold night wind did not in the least cool Leo's feelings. Maya, lying weak and covered in blood, looked at him with eyes that were growing increasingly heavy."Are you okay?" Maya asked in a weak and stuttering whisper that only Leo could hear. Maya forced a smile as sweet as possible so that Leo would not be sad.Leo could only answer with panic and shaking his head. He couldn't believe Maya had helped him, even sacrificed her life for him. Why did this woman do something so brave for a stranger like him?Medical personnel quickly took Maya to the hospital. Leo accompanied the unfortunate woman. He knew he was a sinner. But this time, Leo believed in God and prayed to Him to save Maya.The commotion only clouded Leo's eyes and ears. He didn't care. His focus was only one thing. Maya had to survive no matter what."Doctor, please save her! No matter how much it costs and whatever it takes, Doc! Just as long as she survives," Leo said, half-conscious. The man's facial expression on
Meanwhile, at the hospital, an extremely undesirable situation occurred. Maya's condition suddenly became more concerning as she lost a lot of blood and needed a blood transfusion."I tried to stop Maya's bleeding by plugging her wound," Leo said incredulously, not believing what the doctor had told him."Sorry, we're just informing you of the actual situation," the doctor who replied, looking unhappy with Leo's current panic."Okay, so what's the problem, Doc?" Leo asked rudely, wiping his tired face. "You can just give her blood trans—""Oh my god! We're out of O negative blood supply!" one of the other doctors handling Maya exclaimed in panic. He had just received confirmation from the blood bank that the blood supply they needed was currently unavailable."What's your blood type?" Another doctor approached Leo and asked for his blood type. Unfortunately, Leo's blood type was not what they were hoping for."A," Leo replied weakly. "Negative."Without even mentioning his rhesus type
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Leo watched Maya's condition with concern as she still felt weak after the surgery. He was very grateful that Maya survived because of the help of the kids. It was truly a miracle."Leo! You haven't slept since last night! Your eyes are swollen and black..." Maya woke up and realized Leo was by her side. In her heart, Maya felt very grateful, even though her husband was not there, God sent a kind stranger named Leo to accompany her to the hospital. "Oh, my God! What about the payment later? Can you get the credit card that I left in the room?""Of course! Don't worry!" Leo answered to calm Maya. He reached out and put his arm around Maya's shoulder, then gently laid her back down on the uncomfortable hospital bed. "Don't worry about unimportant things!"Leo's face could not smile. His heart was crying. He licked his lips to suppress all the emotions that had settled and dominated his heart at this time. He wanted to take Maya away from Adam and Sabrina. He
That was Maya's third day in the hospital. Maya asked Leo not to accompany her all day. She told Leo to go back to the hotel and take care of himself.Maya felt extremely guilty. Leo's vacation was ruined because of what happened to her. If only she had not been careless, she would not have met the criminals.That day, Maya had to go back to the hotel. Her husband would be returning from his business meeting soon, and her dead phone would not help explain anything about her whereabouts in the hospital.That's why Maya quickly changed clothes and left the hospital room. She felt better and would ask to be discharged at that time and took care of all the administrative matters."I'm sorry, but in this hospital, we can't provide treatment until there's a guarantee of payment. So, your treatment costs have been covered, and you don't need to pay anymore," the administrative officer explained briefly to Maya without any intention of providing details."But who paid for this huge amount?" M
After arriving at the apartment, Maya opened her suitcase and rearranged all the contents. She immediately took the dirty clothes to the kitchen area and put them all in the side-opening washing machine located near the pantry. Her wound was still sore, for sure, but she didn't want Adam to know and worry about it.Done with the laundry, Maya returned to the room and tidied up the remaining items. She put her marriage certificate back into the file holder. She then double-checked her handbag's contents and ensured everything was there. She didn't forget to take out the carcass of her phone wrapped in a zipper plastic and put it on the nightstand."Your phone is broken?" Adam asked Maya after he came out of the bathroom, about to take his casual clothes. The dark-haired man was slightly surprised by the coincidence that happened to them."Yes. Sorry! Have you had trouble reaching me?" Maya asked with a perfect act. Her face looked fine as if nothing bad had happened to her."Well, not
No plan ever goes without obstacles, as well as Adam's plans. Not all of them brought goodness to his life.Sabrina's presence in the office every day disturbed Adam's concentration. That's why Adam never wanted Sabrina to become his secretary. Moreover, Sabrina was not as good as Maya in her work.Adam had to work hard even to organize files and schedule meetings that sometimes overlapped. Something he wouldn't have to do if Maya was his secretary. However, Adam was determined to go through all of this for the sake of his love and inheritance. Isn't it necessary to work harder to achieve a goal?Adam once wanted to hire Maya again at the office so that his head would not explode from dealing with things that should not be his concern. However, considering that he had already agreed to this with Sabrina, it was impossible for her to accept it if Adam changed his mind. Once he looked to the right, Sabrina would not give him a chance to look to the left."Goodness! Two meetings at the s
It had been a month since Sabrina replaced Maya as the secretary. During that month, Adam worked very hard, but many of his tasks remained incomplete, no matter how much he tried his best.Now, in front of Adam, his father had a stern expression on his face, as if he was going to devour his only son alive. He was clearly dissatisfied with Adam's performance."What have you been doing at the office? I asked Maya, and she said you even had to work overtime. Why am I receiving such a poor performance report from you?" said Mr. Paul in a loud tone. He sat in Adam's chair with his legs crossed, letting his son stand there motionless and guilty without being able to adequately defend himself."I heard you often cancel appointments with clients suddenly. Three investors even canceled their intention to work with our company. All in just one month! And that's your extraordinary achievement," Mr. Paul scolded while slamming the desk. His eyes were glaringly red as if they were about to pop out
It had been ten days since Adam started his mission to manage his workload at the office and home. Sabrina didn't seem angry at Elena, the senior secretary who was assigned to handle more tasks and check her work again.Due to the overwhelming amount of work and higher targets than usual, Adam didn't have time to take care of himself. He often skipped meals. Even though Sabrina invited him to have lunch or dinner, Adam was only focused on his work. He didn't want to disappoint his father who allowed him to fix the problems in the office. If he failed, all his efforts so far would be in vain.On the other hand, Maya, who only had positive thoughts about Adam, felt sorry for her husband's poor condition. She observed the face of the man who was currently sleeping soundly beside her. Adam's body lately looked thinner. His face didn't look fresh at all. Like he hadn't been eating or resting enough."Are you too busy and not eating well, Honey?" whispered Maya softly. She then kissed her h
