1 a.m. ...Erland woke up upon hearing his phone ringing from the nightstand. He sat up, picked it up, and saw a call from Tommy."Tommy? It's not usual for him to call me at this hour."Curious, he got out of bed and answered the call without bothering to put on his clothes. Yes, he was naked, perhaps unwillingly needing to satisfy Tiffany, or perhaps his desire could still rise because he's just a scoundrel!"Hey, what's up?" he asked as he headed to the dressing room."Boss ... um ... something happened," Tommy answered, sounding nervous."What's that?""Your wife ... oh my God, how do I say this!" Tommy sounded frustrated, making Erland even more anxious."Tommy, just tell me what's going on. What happened to her?""She ... her car went off a cliff ..."Erland's eyes widened immediately, his mind imagining Maelie and the unlucky car."She was having dinner outside with Leo and Amanda ... That's what Ben said. But unfortunately ... They had an accident. Their car went off a cliff..

At 8 in the morning, Erland left the river after several miles of sailing with the fire department team. He sat silently on the riverbank, looking at his wife's damaged car and constantly imagining the moments they had together."Where are you, my love? If you're gone, why can't I find your body? Why can't Amanda and Leo be found either?" he wondered in his heart, feeling so weak, his body trembling with exhaustion.He sighed, then saw Tommy approaching him from above."Boss, you should rest," Tommy said, looking pale and disheveled."Okay..." Erland tried to stand up, and Tommy promptly assisted him.He walked out of the gorge gasping for breath, often stumbling but quickly getting up again. He continued walking until he reached his car."Let me drive," Tommy said."No... You go back to your apartment... With your car," Erland replied wearily, immediately getting into the car.Tommy furrowed his brow, worried that Erland might lose control as he was still shaken by what happened to h

Tiffany entered the ICU room, which was so quiet with only the sound of the heart rate monitor, equipped with medical equipment, and of course, she saw Erland lying weak with medical equipment attached to his body; his head wrapped in bandages, his hands hooked up to an IV, and wearing oxygen while shirtless."Oh God, my son!" Rosalia approached Erland, wanting to touch him but afraid of hurting him because he looked so fragile."Darling... Oh my God..." Tiffany also approached with her fearful gaze.Erland remained silent, his gaze weak, observing them mourning him."Honey, I'm so worried about you..." Tiffany held Erland's left hand that wasn't attached to the IV. "But now I'm relieved... You are fine, I know it. You'll always pull through!""And you'll explain to me," Billy whispered with his cynical gaze.Rosalia wiped her nose, suddenly sniffing from crying, truly worried because her son didn't say anything."Son," she called."Who?" Erland whispered, furrowing his brow. "I don't

After several days of hard work to find out where Erland was, Teddy finally managed to locate him and immediately went to the hospital. He was accompanied by one of his colleagues named Jacob, walking towards ward number 255 where the receptionist said Erland was being treated. However, as they were walking down the hallway, they abruptly stopped when they saw some people walking behind them, and among them was Erland sitting in a wheelchair with his legs bandaged and his head also wrapped in bandages, even his hands still had IVs connected to a pole being pushed by a nurse, while another nurse pushed the wheelchair alongside Tiffany. "Oh shit," Teddy muttered. "I guess we won't be able to talk to him now," Jacob replied right near Teddy's right ear while his eyes continued to watch them. "His family is controlling him... You'll be in trouble if his family finds out that you're Maelie's uncle," he continued cautiously. Teddy remained silent, his gaze fixed on Erland who remained si

New York ...With anxiety, Erland paced back and forth in front of the delivery room, waiting for Tiffany to give birth via natural method. The handsome man, wearing a black shirt and blue pants, occasionally glanced at his watch, then stood back towards the still-closed door, listening to Tiffany's groans as she likely struggled to deliver their baby."Why is it taking so long, it's been an hour," he said anxiously."You should accompany her," Rosalia said, seated in the waiting area.Erland shook his head immediately. "No, I can't. I don't have the courage... There will surely be a lot of blood," he said."But it's your responsibility to be with your wife during childbirth. You don't need to look down... Just hold her hand... Encourage her, strengthen her," Thomas said.Erland remained silent, seemingly hesitant to follow the advice from his parents."Think about how disappointed her parents would be if they knew you didn't accompany her during labor," Thomas said again."Alright...
