The air in the room was warm, but in Elena and Nathan's chests, a bigger fire was already burning.

They were still lying down, their breathing not quite back to normal.

Nathan caressed Elena's cheek with the back of his finger, a small smile perched on the corner of his lips.

"Elena... Thank you," he whispered, as if still unable to believe the woman in front of him was truly his tonight.

Elena closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the caress. "I can't believe we're finally here either," she murmured.

Nathan chuckled, then leaned down to kiss Elena gently on the forehead. "And I'll never let you go."

They stared at each other for a few moments, then, as if there was something he didn't want to let go of, Nathan got up from the bed and tugged on Elena's hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Elena, her voice hoarse and spoiled.

Nathan smiled mysteriously. "Just come along."

Nervously, Elena shook her head but followed Nathan into the bathroom.

Nathan opened the shower, letting the warm wa

    Chapter 166It was late morning, and the sky above the Drake family mansion was clear. Warm sunlight streamed through the large windows of Elena's hospital room. The sound of medical equipment ticked softly but steadily, like a breath that continued even though her soul had not yet returned.Nathan sat by Elena's bedside as usual. He held Elena's still-pale hand tightly in his. Nathan gently stroked Elena’s fingers, hoping for even the slightest movement, no matter how small.The door was knocked softly.“Come in,” Nathan said without turning his head.Damian entered cautiously. He carried a black folder in his hand, and his face looked calmer than in the previous weeks.“Can we talk for a moment?” Damian asked softly.Nathan turned and nodded. "Of course. Sit down."Damian pulled a chair from the other side of Elena's bed. Sitting across from Nathan, he glanced at Elena for a moment before looking down."Elena... still no reaction, huh?"Nathan shook his head slowly. "Not yet. But I

    Chapter 165Elsewhere, Damian sat alone on the back porch of the Drake family mansion, a notebook open on his lap. The pencil in his hand moved slowly, sketching the interior of the café—long wooden tables, large windows, industrial pendant lights. Everything was already clear in the man's mind."Damian!"Tamara's voice broke the silence. The woman came in carrying two cups of coffee, then sat down next to Damian.“Good morning, Tamara,” Damian replied, closing his notebook.“You were daydreaming, weren’t you? I had to call you three times.”Damian chuckled. “Not daydreaming, just... thinking about the future. I’m trying to come up with a concept for the café.”“Oh?” Tamara raised her eyebrows, intrigued. “A café?” “Yes,” Damian nodded. “I’ve been saving up for a long time, Tamara. Now I have enough money to start a business. I want to open a café that serves American, European, and Asian cuisine. A mix of everything... but still cozy. A comfortable place. The location also has to b

    Chapter 163That morning, at the Drake family mansion. In the reading room on the second floor, Grandma Clara sat quietly in her old chair. A cup of green tea steamed on the small table. The book she usually read was still closed. The old woman's eyes stared blankly out the window. Occasionally, Grandma Clara sighed deeply.The door opened slowly. Chintya entered, wearing a pastel dress and carrying a box of homemade cookies.“Good morning, Grandmother Clara,” Chintya greeted softly, approaching with a sweet smile.Clara only glanced briefly. “Morning.”Chintya sat on the sofa across from her. “I made some cookies, Grandmother. Belgian recipe, with real almonds,” Chintya said, trying to lighten the mood. “Just put them on the table,” Clara replied coldly. A few seconds of silence passed before Chintya spoke again, her voice soft yet firm. “Grandma... I didn’t come here just to bring cookies,” Chintya said, looking at Clara with hopeful eyes. “I want to talk about Elena.”Clara l

    Chapter 162The morning at the Drake family mansion felt quieter than usual. Sunlight slowly filtered into Elena's care room, which was now at home, right next to Nathan's master bedroom. All the medical equipment was neatly arranged. Nathan sat in the chair beside the bed, his eyes fixed on his wife’s pale face, which still showed no signs of waking up. He held Elena’s thin hand tightly, as if hoping that his touch could wake her up.“Darling... you’ve been sleeping like this for a month now. Ellen and Edward are growing up so fast. Ellen starts smiling when approached, and Edward is more talkative...” Nathan gently strokes his wife’s hair. His voice sounds hoarse. “I miss you complaining... I even miss you getting angry.”The door to the room was knocked. Tamara entered carrying a tray with breakfast and the nurse’s health report.“Mr. Nathan, you need to eat first. You didn’t sleep again last night, did you?” Tamara asked softly.Nathan shook his head slowly. “Yes, I couldn’t slee

    Chapter 161It was morning at the head office, and the service corridor was still quiet when Damian stopped in front of the HR room. He straightened his blue uniform—there was a small Office Support label on the left pocket—then took a deep breath. Today he would receive his salary.Jamshon, the HR officer, greeted him warmly. "Congratulations, Damian. Here are your pay slip and ATM payroll card."Damian smiled stiffly. “Yes. Thank you.”“Clean work, neat reports—the cleaning supervisor is pleased,” Jamshon said. “Keep up the pace, and you could get a raise soon.”Damian signed the receipt, then left. In the corridor, he encountered Tamara carrying a stack of mood boards for the Fashion Week presentation.“Payday?” Tamara asked, noticing the white envelope in Damian’s hand. Damian nodded. “Finally. Tonight I’m going to take Katty, Delya, and Alva out for pizza. Let them forget their sorrows for a while.” Tamara patted his shoulder. “Good. They need some cheer. You do too.”Damian

    Chapter 160A month had passed since the emergency surgery. Elena was still lying in the ICU, her fingers occasionally twitching, but she had not yet opened her eyes. Meanwhile, at the Sebastian family mansion, Grandmother Clara insisted on holding a "Recognition Party" for the twins who had just returned from the NICU—Ellyn and Edward.The ballroom of the large house was filled with relatives, business associates, and several social figures. Classical music played softly, and waiters bustled about carrying trays of champagne. In the corner of the room, two baby boxes were decorated softly; Ellyn was wrapped in a pink blanket, Edward in sky blue. Nathan stood nearby, wearing a black suit, his face tense. Sonia cradled Edward, while Tamara watched over Ellun.Grandmother Clara stepped onto a small podium in the middle of the room and tapped her silver glass. The guests' voices immediately quieted."Thank you all for coming," the woman said loudly. "Today, the Sebastian family officiall
