MasukThe next morning, Stephanie prepared for work after making sure Kai had everything he needed. Before leaving the villa, she gave Ken a list of instructions about his medication, meals, and rest.
"Please make sure he takes his medicine on time," she reminded him.Ken smiled. "Don't worry, Miss Stephanie. I'll keep an eye on him.""And don't let him overwork himself.""I'll try.""Try?"Ken chuckled. "You know Mr. Kai. Keeping him in bed iAnother few days passed.Still, everyone waited.They waited for a miracle.Mrs. Linda and Grace continued bringing the children to the hospital. They would sit beside Stephanie's bed, talking to her even though she couldn't respond.The children didn't understand why their mother wouldn't wake up.Sometimes Lily would reach for Stephanie's hand.Sometimes Kyle would crawl closer to the bed and stare at her.Kia never left her side.His entire schedule had been put on hold.Interviews were cancelled.Appearances were postponed.Meetings were handed over to others.Nothing mattered to him anymore except getting Stephanie back on her feet.That afternoon, everyone was gathered in the private room.The steady sound of the monitor filled the silence.Beep… beep… beep…Kia sat beside Stephanie, holding her hand.His eyes were fixed on
Ashley was finally pulled out of the damaged supermarket.The moment Kia saw her, he rushed toward her.“Ashley!”She grabbed onto him, sobbing uncontrollably.“Kia…”“Where is Stephanie?”Ashley could barely speak.“She’s still inside.”Kia froze.“What?”“She saved me… the shelf fell on her. They tried to get me out, but she told me to leave her. She’s still trapped inside!”Kia's face changed instantly.Before anyone could stop him, he turned and rushed toward the damaged building.“Kia!”A police officer tried to grab him, but he was already through the opening.“Sir, wait!”He didn't stop.Inside, the air was thick with dust.Kia coughed as he moved through the wreckage.“Stephanie!”His voice echoed through the damaged supermarket.“Stephanie!”Nothing.He pushed fallen boxes aside.“Stephanie, where are you?”Another tremor shook the building.Kia stumbled but caught himself against a damaged wall.He looked around.He could barely see through the dust.Then he noticed somet
The supermarket had become a nightmare.Dust filled the air.Broken shelves, scattered products, shattered glass, and pieces of the ceiling covered the floor. People were trapped beneath fallen objects, while others sat against walls, crying and calling for help.Some had cuts on their foreheads. Others had bruises on their arms and legs.Children cried for their parents.Mothers held their children tightly against their chests.Couples clung to each other, terrified that they might become separated.“Help us!”“Please!”“Somebody help!”The cries echoed through the damaged building.Within minutes, emergency services were alerted.Rescue teams rushed to the scene and immediately began working together.“Check this section!”“Careful with that beam!”“We have people trapped inside!”Outside, police officers pushed back the growing crowd while firefighters and rescue workers began clearing a path.News crews quickly arrived.Cameras captured the damaged building, while reporters desc
The weeks that followed brought a kind of happiness Stephanie had never expected.For the first time, she and Kia could walk through public places without hiding.They visited restaurants, went shopping, took the children to the park, and spent quiet afternoons together. Sometimes fans recognized them and asked for pictures, while others simply smiled and waved as they passed.The public seemed to love seeing Kia with Stephanie and the children.And with every passing week, Stephanie became more recognizable herself.She was no longer simply known as the mysterious woman beside Kia.She had become part of the story everyone wanted to follow.But despite enjoying the attention, Stephanie still had one decision weighing on her mind.Her job.Kia had been asking her for months to leave Nathan's company.At first, she had refused.She loved working.She loved being independent.
The next morning, soft sunlight slipped through the curtains.Kia was already awake.He lay quietly beside Stephanie, watching her sleep. Her head rested comfortably on his arm, and for a moment, he simply stared at her with a small smile.He gently brushed his fingers across her cheek.Stephanie stirred.Her eyes slowly opened, and the first thing she saw was Kia looking at her.“Good morning,” he whispered.She blinked sleepily.“Good morning.”Kia smiled and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.“How are you feeling?”“Better,” she replied.“Are you sure?”“Yes.”Kia placed his hand against her forehead and waited for a moment.His expression immediately softened.“Your temperature feels normal.”Stephanie smiled.“I told you I would be fine.”“I'm glad.”He looked at her seriously for a moment before
Within a few minutes, the nurse arrived at the villa.Kia was seated beside Stephanie on the bed, holding her hand firmly. His eyes never left her face.The four children were gathered around them, playing quietly on the bed. Kyle and Ethan crawled around the blanket while Noah reached for one of the pillows. Lily sat nearby, giggling as Grace gently played with her.The rest of the family stood around the bed, watching Stephanie with worried expressions.The nurse placed her bag beside the bed and began examining Stephanie.“How are you feeling now?” she asked.“A little weak,” Stephanie admitted. “But I'm much better.”The nurse checked her temperature, listened to her breathing, and asked a few more questions before finally nodding.“It’s nothing serious,” she reassured them. “She has a minor fever. She should be fine with some rest and the medication I’m prescribing.”Kia finally released a breath
