On a lovely afternoon, Karina laid Sophie on her bed, hoping she would take her siesta, but Sophie was a bit unwilling."I want to play hide and seek with Aunt Phoebe or you," Sophie said, her eyes pleading."You need to sleep first," Karina replied gently. "After an hour, you can play after having a rest."Sophie nodded obediently but asked, "Can you stay with me?"Karina hesitated. "I have something to do in my room, but I promise I'll come back to check on you soon."Sophie smiled. "Thank you for picking me up from school today and not going to work."Karina smiled back and nodded. She wanted to ask Sophie why she had lied about her encounter with a man at the supermarket the other day but decided against it. Instead, she said, "I'll likely stay home for a couple more days so we can spend time together."Sophie's face lit up with elation. Karina pecked her on the forehead, pulled the duvet up, and stood up. She walked to the door, which was slightly open, and watched as her daughte

Doctor Anderson emerged from the ICU, his expression calm but tired. "The blood transfusion was successful, and Aidan will be out soon," he informed them.Karina, Zora, and the rest of the family uttered silent prayers of thanks, relief flooding their faces. Back in the ICU, as the medical personnel who had carried out the operation began to leave and some nurses started cleaning Sophie up, Aidan got off his bed. He walked up to Sophie and gently took hold of her tiny hand, which now had tubes inserted. He exhaled deeply, feeling his heart ache merely by looking at her—the same cheerful girl who had eased his burdens and given him incredible joy just a few days ago. It broke him to see her lying motionless.In his thoughts, Aidan wondered if what happened to her was truly an accident. He wanted to peck her forehead, but Dr. Anderson returned and gently urged him to go and rest in an empty ward if he felt dizzy."I’m fine," Aidan insisted. "Will she be okay?"Dr. Anderson nodded. "The

A tense silence filled the room. Amira, trying to process what she had just heard, whispered to herself in disbelief, "Karina's daughter is alive?" Noticing Aidan glancing at her, she quickly composed herself. "Aidan, explain this to me. Karina had a child?"Aidan nodded. "Yes, a daughter."Amira, struggling to maintain her footing, feigned concern. "How is she?""I donated blood for her, and she's stable for now," Aidan replied, his voice strained.Cruzita huffed, her frustration boiling over. "You're being paranoid over someone who might not even be yours."Aidan faced her, his expression hard. "I feel a strong bond with Sophie, even if I've only met her a few times. Whether she's mine or not, I'll still consider her like my own and won't tolerate anyone speaking ill of her."With that, he turned and left for his room, leaving them all bewildered. The room was filled with a heavy silence as they tried to process Aidan's unwavering resolve and deep emotional connection to a child he m

Meanwhile, outside in the parking lot, Martha pulled up the car. As they got out, she told Riley, "We're just going to show fake concern. Don’t act strange, or they will suspect us."Riley nodded, feeling a mix of anxiety and guilt. "Okay. I just feel so restless since I caught a glimpse of Sophie yesterday when she was taken out of the ICU."Martha admonished her, "Pull yourself together."Riley reluctantly walked beside her mother. "Don't worry," Martha added. "You can stay outside the room when we get in. That way, you won't have to see Sophie."Riley managed a smile, though she still felt uneasy for reasons she couldn't fully understand.Back inside the hospital, Amira held Aidan's hand, trying to pull him away. "Let's go."He pushed her slightly, freeing his hand from her grasp. Irked, Amira hissed and started leaving, her frustration palpable.Stepping out of the hospital, seething, Amira groaned. As she fished her car key from her purse, she bumped into someone. “You fool…!” Ami

Gina studied Karina's reaction for a moment before revealing, "They actually came to the ward to check on Sophie, but Riley seemed odd. When she saw Sophie, she started to turn pale, and before we knew it, she passed out."Karina looked puzzled. "We should go check on her."Gina attempted to persuade her. "Karina, you should go home and rest. You need it."Karina, determined, walked past Gina and headed down the hallway. "No, I need to see her now."Gina sighed and went after her. "Alright, let’s go."Together, they made their way to find Martha and Riley, leaving Gina more concerned about the increasingly mysterious circumstances surrounding Sophie's accident.Karina found her way to the ward and walked in on Martha seemingly scolding Riley. Gina walked in after Karina, and Martha immediately straightened up, adopting a softer expression."Karina, why are you here and not with—" Martha began.Karina cut in, her voice filled with concern. "Is Riley alright?" She walked over to the bed
