Lizzy opened her eyes slowly, blinking a few times as her sight adjusted. Everything felt blurry at first, like someone had poured water over her vision. Slowly, the room became clearer, and she saw Samson sitting nearby, watching her quietly. He stood and walked over, gently helping her to sit up.

"Easy on that," he said, keeping his voice calm. "You’re not strong enough yet."

She looked around the unfamiliar hospital room, trying to piece everything together. Then her eyes widened. She reached down and touched her stomach. A wave of panic rushed through her.

"What happened? I remember I was in the kitchen… and then the blood," she said, her voice picking up.

Samson came closer, took a seat at the edge of the bed, and rested his elbows on his knees. "Calm down, Lizzy, please. You don’t have the strength for this right now. We’ll talk later."

She pulled off the thin hospital duvet, determination rising in her face. "No, I’m fine. Just tell me. What happened? Why are you acting like th

    Jeff blinked, confused by what he was seeing. "Wait… what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice shaky.Amaya stepped out fully now, and in that second, it clicked for Jeff, the noise from earlier, the strange movement by the kitchen window, it was her. She had overheard them, and now she had followed him.Amaya stepped forward, speaking directly to the masked man, her voice trembling, but clear. "Please... let him go. Take me instead. You can do whatever you want to me. I’ll give you all the money I’ve saved. Just... please, leave him alone."Her voice was close to breaking as she reached for the man’s trousers, almost kneeling to plead. But before she could touch him, he kicked her so hard that she staggered backward. She would have hit the ground, but Jeff was quick. He caught her in time."You animal," Jeff growled, his voice low and deadly. He turned his face to the masked man with rage, "Don’t even think about hurting my mother. If you do, I’ll cut off your balls and throw the

    Jeff leaned closer to Fred, his voice low and careful. "We can’t talk about this here," he said, glancing upstairs. "Let’s meet at home in the next three hours. I don’t want to take chances. Angelie is here, and she might overhear us."Fred gave a short nod, his expression serious. "Okay, I’ll be there."Just then, Angelie’s cheerful voice floated down from upstairs. "Come, my love! I want to show you the magic I’ve created."Jeff gave Fred a small pat on the shoulder. "Duty calls," he said with a half-smile. "I have to attend to my woman now."Fred gave a soft chuckle as Jeff walked away.************Samson opened the door, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Antonia standing there. She wasn’t in her usual pink. Instead, she wore a long black gown that made her look somber and different."Hey… you’re here," he said softly.She walked in slowly, her eyes unsure. "How are you? I heard about Lucas. I’m so sorry, Sam. That must’ve been hard for you.""It’s fine," Samson replied

    Jeff paced around the living room, his face a mix of confusion and worry. "I don’t understand," he muttered, dragging his hand through his hair. "Where exactly could he be, and why did he leave the house all alone? None of this is making sense."Morris, trying to stay calm for both their sakes, reached out to him. "Calm down, son. If we don’t hear from him in the next twenty-four hours, we’ll contact the police. We don’t want to panic just yet."Just then, Amaya walked in, her hands trembling slightly as she held a cup of water. She moved toward Jeff, her eyes full of worry, and gently offered him the drink. "Here, I think you should take this. You’ve been here since morning. It’s already past three in the afternoon, and you haven’t eaten a thing."Jeff’s face tightened with frustration. He looked at her with eyes full of pain and anger, then raised his voice, almost shouting, "Don’t call me your son! I am not your son."The sound of his voice filled the room and startled her. The gla

    Grandpa Lu turned slowly at the sound of footsteps and saw her standing there. He stood up at once, not wasting a second. Bella walked up to him, her face soft, and her voice calm. "I’m so sorry," she said gently. "I heard what happened."Grandpa gave a simple nod, his eyes saying more than words could. Through it all, Jeff never took his eyes off Bella. He watched her every step, every move. She turned to him and spoke again, more quietly now, "Hi… can we talk outside?"Jeff didn’t speak. He just nodded. They walked side by side to the garden in silence. It was just the two of them. The garden was calm. Jeff stood there, not knowing what to say or how to begin. Meeting her felt unreal. He had imagined it in his head a thousand times, but this wasn’t how he thought it would happen. Not today, not while grieving.Bella looked at the sky, then back at him. "You don’t need to say anything," she said. "I know today is not the right day. You just lost someone very dear to you. I don’t expe

    "The cancer cells had spread too far, and Mr. Lucas didn’t begin chemotherapy early enough despite our advice. Unfortunately, he is late now. I’m truly sorry, Ma’am, Sir," the doctor said, bowing slightly before walking away.Amaya stood frozen for a second, then suddenly burst out laughing. But it wasn’t from joy. It was painful. She covered her mouth, laughing through her tears."Did he just say… did that man just call my son ‘late’? Like, he's some kind of report card? Is he joking with me right now? Is he trying to push me over the edge?" she said, tears falling from her eyes. Her laughter turned into gasps of breath as she stumbled toward Grandpa Lu. She gripped the front of his shirt with trembling hands, her voice breaking."Please, Grandpa… please. If I’ve ever wronged you, punish me. Take it out on me, but don’t let this be true. Ask the doctor to bring my son back. Bring back Lucas. He was just here yesterday. He said goodnight to me, he ate my food, he kissed my cheek, and n
