Mia was startled. She had been sitting comfortably in the chair beside Stella's bed, but now she sat up straight as she saw Stella's eyes open."Stella? Are you awake?" Mia asked.However, there was no response from Stella. She remained silent, staring at Mia."Wait a moment, I'll go get the doctor and call Marvin," Mia said before finally turning to leave the room.Not long after, Mia returned with the doctor.A few moments later."Her condition is stable, and there's nothing to worry about. But she still needs care because she's not entirely stable yet.""Alright, Doctor, thank you," Mia replied.The man in the white coat nodded and then left the room.Mia turned her gaze back to Stella. "Are you okay?""Marvin," Stella whispered, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible."Ah, Marvin? I've called him several times, but he hasn't picked up. He might be busy, he's taking your baby—" Mia's words were interrupted by the ringing of her phone. Marvin's name appeared on the screen. "Marvi

One week later."Are you sure you’re feeling better?" Marvin asked Stella, who had just sat down in the wheelchair.Stella nodded. "Yes, I’m feeling much better. My stomach doesn’t hurt like it did when I first woke up," she replied with a smile. "Come on, take me outside. I’m tired of being cooped up in this room.""Alright, but tell me if you start feeling pain again, okay?"Stella smiled and nodded at her husband. Marvin then began pushing the wheelchair, taking Stella out of the room and towards the garden still within the hospital grounds."Can’t we bring our daughter here? I really want to see her, Marvin. A photo and video just aren’t enough.I want to hold and hug her.""That’s too risky, love. I’m worried something bad might happen while Daddy and Mommy are on their way here. One of our enemies is still alive, and he’s out there somewhere. What if he does something terrible to our daughter? So it’s better if Selena stays at the apartment with Daddy and Mommy. I hope you can be

Marvin opened the car door where Stella was seated. He intended to help her out, but Stella had already extended her hand to him.“Carry me. If I walk, it’ll take forever because my stomach still hurts, and my back aches a little. I want to get home as soon as possible so I can see my daughter, so just carry me.”Marvin smiled, and without responding, he lifted Stella into his arms.“Oh my God.”“What’s wrong?”“The baby’s already out, but why are you still so heavy?” Marvin asked, carrying Stella toward the elevator.Stella’s lips immediately pouted at her husband’s remark. “Are you calling me fat? Are you trying to say I’m getting uglier? That you’re going to find someone else? Ugh! I’m like this because I gave birth to your child. I’m like this because of you. Weren’t you the one who insisted I have your baby? Huh? I even risked my life for you, and now what do you say? You’re calling me fat? Even with this weight, I’m still a catch for other men!”Marvin frowned. He had only said

"I'm sorry, Darling. I've been neglecting work for too long, and I can't let it slide anymore. I need to head to the company right away."Stella, who was holding Selena, nodded. "It's okay, go ahead. I can take care of myself and our baby."Marvin smiled. "I trust you. If anything bad happens, or if you notice something suspicious, call me right away. Okay?"Stella nodded.Marvin placed a kiss on Stella's lips before turning to the baby in her arms, showering Selena's little cheeks with several kisses."That's not fair! You kissed Selena so many times, and I only got one." Stella pouted.Marvin smiled at his wife's playful behavior. He cupped Stella's cheeks and kissed her lips several times. "Satisfied now?""More than satisfied."Marvin smiled again, then bid her goodbye and headed to the company.After nearly 30 minutes on the road, Marvin finally arrived at the lobby of Esther Company. He entered and made his way toward the elevator."Good morning, Sir," Zaline greeted him from he

Seeing Stella laugh only made Marvin more annoyed. "I'm serious. Why are you laughing? The bottom line is, I don't agree. I don't care if you get mad, I'm not bothered. I'll allow you to have an activity if you work here. That way, I can keep an eye on you. And no one will dare mess with you because they know who I am here.""But I don't want to work, Marvin.""So, you're still stubbornly insisting on continuing your studies, huh?" Marvin asked, his chin lifted."Not exactly. My brain can't handle the assignments the professors will give me anymore. Besides, my life is already happy and filled with luxury. I live in a big, luxurious house. My husband is a CEO and owns a large company. Why should I tire myself working? The activity I mentioned earlier wasn’t about continuing my studies, Darling."Marvin's brow furrowed instantly at Stella's response. "Then? What activity did you mean?""I want to take cooking classes, Marvin. I think that shouldn’t scare you, right? Cooking classes are
