Chapter 166

Two days after their conversation in Elena's hospital room, Damian and Tamara stood side by side on the main road in the city center. In front of them was a vacant lot that used to be an old bakery. The location was strategic—it was on a busy street corner, surrounded by offices and international schools.

“What do you think?” Damian asked, folding his arms across his chest as he looked out at the open space.

Tamara looked around. “The location is great. It’s on a corner, easy to access, and there’s plenty of parking. Perfect for a café.”

Damian nodded. “I agree. I’ve checked the status of the land. The owner is willing to rent it out long-term. We just need to sign the contract and start building from scratch.”

Tamara glanced at Damian. “Did you bring the initial design?”

Damian opened his bag and took out the black sketchbook he always carried. He flipped through the pages filled with hand-drawn sketches—the building’s facade, table arrangements, an open kitchen, even a s

    Chapter 174Night fell. The dim lights in Elena's hospital room glowed softly. The atmosphere was calm, with only the sound of the monitor's beeps and Elena's slow breathing audible. Nathan sat by the bedside, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on his wife's sleeping face.Nathan's hand held Elena's warm hand, though it was slightly weak.“Elena, I’m always here,” Nathan whispered softly, as usual.And suddenly, Elena’s fingers began to move again.Nathan sat up straight. “Elena? Honey?”His fingers gripped Elena’s hand tighter. Then, Elena’s eyelids slowly opened. Her eyes looked weary, but they were clearly open.“El... can you hear me?” Elena stared at the ceiling, her eyes blinking a few times. Then she slowly turned toward Nathan’s voice. Nathan smiled tearfully, his tears flowing uncontrollably. “Darling… finally… you’re awake…”Elena remained silent. Her face looked confused. She stared at Nathan for a long time... then furrowed her brow. “Who... are you?” Elena’s voice was soft

    Chapter 173It was a quiet morning at the Damian family villa. Birds were chirping in the distance, and a gentle breeze blew the curtains. In the spacious and tidy living room, Damian sat on the sofa with his laptop open. In front of him, Tamara sat with a folder of documents.“This is the initial design for the café,” Tamara said, handing him a sketch of the design. “If you agree, we can start processing the permits this week.”Damian nodded, reading the details carefully. “The concept is very cozy. Lots of plants, wooden accents, perfect for the urban youth market. I like it.”Tamara smiled briefly. “Our budget is sufficient, as long as it’s not too extravagant.” “Don’t worry,” Damian replied, glancing at the financial documents Tamara had marked. “I’ve already prepared the investment funds. We just need to synchronize them with the daily operational funds.” As Damian was about to write something in his notebook, the pen in his hand slipped and fell to the floor, right between t

    Chapter 172Elena's hospital room was enveloped in the peaceful silence of the night. Only the sound of medical equipment and the whisper of wind from the ventilation could be heard. Nathan sat in a chair next to the bed, still wearing his wrinkled dark shirt. On Nathan's lap, baby Ellyn slept soundly, while Edward was carried in a blanket in Nathan's left hand.Nathan gazed at Elena's face, still lying there. Her skin was pale, but her breathing was steady. Elena's face remained beautiful, as if she were simply sleeping soundly."Darling..." Nathan whispered, barely audible. "Today I sent Chintya to the psychiatric hospital. I know you can't hear me. But I promise, all of this is for you. For our family.”Ellyn suddenly stirred and began to whine. Edward followed with a small cry. Nathan panicked for a moment, then stood up slowly and placed Ellyn on the left side of the bed, while Edward was on the right, near Elena’s head.“Shhh… don’t cry, sweetie… come on, don’t fuss. Mommy is re

    Chapter 171That night, Nathan sat in his study, his face expressionless but his eyes sharp. In front of him stood Chintya, her hair disheveled, her face pale, and her body trembling."I don't want to!" Chintya snapped, her voice shrill.Nathan remained silent. His hands were clasped together on the table. A few seconds later, the door opened. Sonia entered, followed by Grandmother Clara, who walked slowly with a cane."Why are you still here, dear?" Clara asked in a soft but clear voice.Nathan stood up. "I've decided, Grandma. Chintya will be sent abroad. I've arranged everything—accommodation, care, even supervision." "I said I don't want to!" Chintya shouted again. The woman's eyes widened, then she burst into laughter. “Do you think you can just get rid of me like that? Hah? I'm Nathan's fiancée! I should be staying here, not Elena!” Clara turned to Sonia. “Look at that. This child has lost her mind.” Sonia sighed deeply. “I used to feel sorry for her. But now... I think yo

    Chapter 170The evening sky began to turn orange as Damian and Tamara drove Katty, Delya, and Alva back to the Drake family residence. Damian's car slowed to a stop in the front yard. As soon as the door opened, the three children jumped out excitedly."Yay, we're home!" Katty exclaimed, holding Delya's hand.“Thank you, Aunt Tamara!” Delya said, turning back with a wide smile.Tamara waved goodbye with a smile. “You’re welcome, dear.”Alva, who had been carried by Damian throughout the journey because he had fallen asleep, began to wake up and rubbed his eyes.“We’re here, Boy,” Damian whispered softly.Alva nodded slightly, then suddenly turned to Tamara. “Aunt Tamara, don’t go home yet.” Tamara looked at Damian, then back at Alva. “Auntie has to go home, dear. But Auntie will come back to play here again, I promise.” Damian leaned down and whispered in Alva’s ear. “Let’s give Aunt Tamara a hug first.”Alva immediately hugged Tamara with her small arms. “I love you, Auntie...”

    Chapter 169That afternoon, the atmosphere at the Drake family mansion was a bit tense. In Nathan's study, a female nurse stood with her hands fidgeting, staring at Nathan, who sat with a clenched jaw and an unusual look in his eyes."I'm sorry, Mr. Nathan... I've thought this through carefully before deciding to speak. But I think you should know," the nurse said cautiously.Nathan glared at her. "What is this about?"The nurse swallowed. “It’s about Miss Chintya. A few days ago, she approached me. Miss Chintya brought a liquid—a high-dose sleeping medication. She asked me to add that liquid to Mrs. Elena’s IV.”Nathan stood up abruptly. The chair behind him scraped loudly. "What?!" Nathan's voice erupted. The nurse stepped back nervously. “I refused, Mr. Nathan. I said it was dangerous, and I wouldn't do it. But Miss Chintya insisted. She even threatened to fire me if I reported this.”Nathan’s face paled. His pulse was racing at his temples. His hands clenched tightly. “Why a
