For the past two months, David, the only son of Damian and Isabella, has been hospitalized in the ICU of a renowned Swiss hospital. The five-year-old boy, once born full of hope and luxury, was now battling leukemia.

"Damian, David has a fever again," Isabella's voice was soft in front of the ICU room. Her hair, which had always been in order, was now pulled into a makeshift bun. Her face was pale, her eyes puffy.

Damian stood next to her, wearing a black but rumpled suit. Her eyes had never really closed in the last two months. "I told them not to stop the chemotherapy even though his body is weak," he muttered, more to himself.

"David is not strong, Damian... his little body is too tired." Isabella hugged her own body, as if protecting her heart that was about to collapse.

Damian clenched his fists. "He is the heir to Lancaster. David must be strong."

The doctor walked quickly towards them. "Mr. Lancaster, David's condition is deteriorating rapidly. We need to get him into surgery i

    That morning, the sun was already high when Damian arrived at the construction site. Dust filled the air as workers began marking the foundation area. Tamara stood not far from him, reviewing the design plans on her tablet. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, her face serious.“Looks like everything’s on schedule,” Tamara said, glancing briefly at Damian.Damian nodded. “Let’s hope it stays that way until the end.”Today marked the first day of construction for the café they had designed together. It was supposed to be a fresh start—calm, simple, far from all the chaos of the past.Suddenly, Damian’s phone rang. Nathan appeared on the screen.“Excuse me for a second,” Damian said, stepping aside.“Hello?” he answered.“Damian, it’s me,” Nathan’s voice sounded tired.“What’s wrong?” Damian immediately grew alert.“Elena,” Nathan replied. “She keeps asking to go back to the Lancaster Mansion. She insists that you’re her husband—and that’s the only reality she believes in.”Damian let out a

    It had been a week since Elena woke up from her coma. Her days passed quietly in Nathan’s mansion—a place that felt unfamiliar, even though everyone around her seemed to know her so well.That morning, Elena sat in the family room, gazing at the garden through the large glass window. The air felt fresh, but her mind remained clouded with questions. A cup of tea sat in her hand, long gone cold. She hadn’t touched it.Footsteps echoed from the hallway. Grandma Clara entered, followed by Mrs. Sonia.“Elena, sweetheart, have you taken your morning medication?” Grandma Clara asked gently.Elena shook her head slowly. “Later, Grandma.”Sonia sighed and sat beside her. “You need to take care of yourself. Your body isn’t fully recovered yet, dear.”Elena turned to them, her eyes filled with confusion.“I’m sorry… I know you’re both being kind. But I still feel like a stranger here,” she said honestly.Sonia and Clara exchanged a brief glance. Grandma Clara offered a patient smile.“You’re not

    Chapter 176Eight o'clock in the morning. Inside the room, sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, illuminating Elena sitting in her wheelchair near the window. She looked calm, but her expression still held a trace of confusion.The door slowly opened. Nathan entered cautiously."El..." Nathan greeted softly.Elena turned quickly. Her eyes sparkled slightly.“You came again,” Elena said.Nathan smiled slightly. “I’m always here, El. Do you need anything?”Elena shook her head. “I just… want to go home. I’ve rested enough. Damian must be worried.”Nathan swallowed slowly. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Elena.“El… Damian is busy right now. He has a lot of work to take care of,” Nathan replied softly. “Didn’t Damian come to pick me up?” Elena frowned. “Not yet. But Damian will be here soon.” Elena lowered her head, rubbing her fingers. “In that case, I want to talk to the children. Katty, Delya… and Olivia. Where are they?” Before Nathan could answer, the sound

    Chapter 175It was still cold in the morning when Nathan stood on the balcony. The coffee in his hand was already cold, but his mind was still heated. His heart had not been calm since last night. After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally took out his cell phone and searched for Damian's name.Taking a deep breath, Nathan pressed the green button."Hello?" Damian's voice sounded clear on the other end.“Damian,” Nathan said softly but firmly. “I need to talk. Can you come to the mansion now?”“Why? Is there news about Elena?” Damian’s tone immediately turned panicked.“Calm down first. Just come over. Bring Tamara too if you can.”Damian paused for a moment. “Alright. We’ll be there soon.”About thirty minutes later, Damian and Tamara arrived. They immediately approached Nathan, who was already waiting. “What’s going on?” Damian asked directly. “What’s wrong with Elena?” Nathan looked at them alternately, his eyes appearing tired. “Elena has regained consciousness,” Nathan 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
