In the car slowly leaving the hospital, Elena leaned back comfortably in the passenger seat. Her hand was still clasped with Nathan's, who was driving calmly.

For a few minutes, they were silent, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. But Elena then turned her head, "I forgot to mention one thing the doctor said..."

Nathan glanced briefly before refocusing on the road. “What do you want to ask, my wife?”

“During my pregnancy, the doctor advised us not to have intercourse yet.” Elena glanced at Nathan briefly. “Can you hold off, my husband?”

Nathan almost laughed, but seeing the serious expression on his wife’s face, he quickly replied calmly. “I’ll hold off, my wife. I don’t want to do anything that might harm you or our baby.”

Elena lowered her head, her smile small but not entirely relieved. “I trust you, my husband. But honestly, I’m also worried. You’ve been asking for intimacy almost every night, huh…”

Nathan chuckled, then turned his head briefly. “That’s because I always miss you.

    Chapter 190In a warm room at Damian's residence, the sound of a printer and keyboard typing echoed back and forth. The desk in front of them was filled with invitation design samples, various color choices, font types, and the D & T initials logo that Tamara had previously chosen.Tamara sat cross-legged on the sofa, checking each design that had just been printed. From time to time, she marked parts she didn’t like with a pink highlighter."Are you sure we need to send official invitations to all these people?" Damian asked, pointing at the guest list on his laptop.Tamara nodded quickly. "Yes, why not?"Damian took a deep breath. He still couldn’t fully believe that Tamara, now sitting before him, was helping prepare their happy day."Tamara..." Damian finally spoke, his voice a little soft. "Aren’t you afraid I’ll do something stupid again?"Tamara stopped highlighting. She looked deeply at Damian. "It’s not that I’m not afraid. But I’ve decided to give you a second chance. Even i

    Chapter 189That afternoon, Nathan's car finally arrived in front of the Sebastian family mansion. The iron gate slowly opened as the car approached. Nathan and Elena had just returned from work. After visiting the place where Olivia had gone missing, they had gone straight to their respective offices.Elena, sitting in the passenger seat, looked tired, but the sight of the house brought her some relief.Inside the car, the sound of two small children crying filled the air.“Ellyn… Edward, hang in there, sweethearts. Mommy’s here,” said Elena in a panic as she unfastened her seatbelt and rushed to the back seat.Nathan quickly got out and opened the back door. Ellyn and Edward were crying in their nanny’s lap.“Nanny, what’s wrong with them?” Elena asked as she picked up Edward.“We don’t know, Ma’am, Sir. The twins have been fussy since earlier,” the nanny replied.Elena touched their foreheads. “They’re burning up! Oh no, their bodies are so warm. This is a fever!”“I’ll call the do

    Chapter 188That morning, the sky was slightly overcast. Nathan drove slowly, following a small road toward the place where Olivia had disappeared. The atmosphere in the car was quiet, with only the sound of the air conditioner and the tires rolling over gravel filling the silence.Elena sat in the passenger seat, staring at the road that felt familiar.“This place... I feel like I’ve been here before,” Elena murmured softly.Nathan glanced at her briefly. “You have been here, Elena. Back then, we looked for Olivia together.”“When Olivia went missing, right?” Elena turned to him, seeking confirmation in Nathan’s expression.Nathan nodded slowly. “Yes. We used to come here often. At that time, you were pregnant with the twins, Ellyn and Edward.”Elena took a deep breath. “Even though I don’t remember it, I feel like I’ve been here. This place feels so familiar.”The car stopped at the side of the road. They got out, carrying a bouquet of white lilies and a small pack of incense sticks

    The atmosphere in Cecilia's hospital room that morning was calm. The window curtains were half-open, allowing soft sunlight to gently pour in. Beside the bed, a young doctor was checking the graphs on the heart monitor, then noting something on his digital tablet.Hans and Nana stood by the bed. Their faces were tense, waiting for an explanation.“How is she, Doc?” Hans asked softly.The doctor lowered his stethoscope from his ears. “Medically, her condition is improving. All vital organs are stable, no new complications.” He took a breath. “But there’s one thing you both need to understand.”Nana held Cecilia’s hand. The girl sat weakly on the bed, looking at them with an empty gaze.“Your daughter has total amnesia. She doesn’t remember who she is, has no memory of her past, and she doesn’t even recognize her own name.”Nana immediately turned to Cecilia. “Sweetheart… you don’t remember anything at all?”Cecilia slowly shook her head. “I’m sorry, Mama… I really don’t remember anythi

    One month later. The atmosphere in the ICU that afternoon was quiet. Only the sound of the monitor and the ticking of the wall clock could be heard clearly. Behind the glass, little Cecilia’s frail body still lay on the white bed, IV tubes and a breathing machine still attached. But there was a blush of pink on her cheeks again—a sign she was starting to respond to the treatment.Nana sat in the waiting chair, clutching her small handbag. Her eyes were swollen, but they remained fixed on Cecilia.Hans stood beside the bed, gently stroking the child’s small hand. “Sweetheart... if you can hear Daddy’s voice, wake up, okay? We’re here. We miss your voice.”Nana wiped her tears. “She can definitely hear you, Hans. A strong child like her wouldn’t give up that easily.”Hans nodded. “I know.” He took a deep breath. “Even though she’s not our biological child, she’s already become a part of our lives.”Nana clasped her husband’s fingers. “I don’t care who her real parents are. What matters

    The small café near the OKDA project site was quiet that afternoon. Soft jazz played; the air smelled of freshly ground coffee. Damian sat in a corner table. Across from him, Tamara opened her laptop and a stack of vendor files.“Sorry I’m late,” Tamara said as she sat. “The contractor sent a revised electrical layout.”“It’s fine.” Damian shut his phone. His smile was thin but relieved.Tamara glanced up. “What? Something wrong?”Damian hesitated, then said, “Elena went home to Nathan.”Tamara stopped typing. “Seriously?” Her eyes widened. “She really wants to go back to Nathan’s house?”Damian nodded. “Yeah. She still looks confused, but she chose to go home. Nathan looked happy when she came back.”Tamara’s hand covered her mouth—relieved and emotional. “Thank God. I was afraid you’d get stuck in that mess.”Damian met her eyes. “I’m not getting stuck. From the start I only wanted to help.”Tamara lowered her gaze, exhaling slowly. “I was just worried. Maybe because I already…” She
