Chapter 172Elena's hospital room was enveloped in the peaceful silence of the night. Only the sound of medical equipment and the whisper of wind from the ventilation could be heard. Nathan sat in a chair next to the bed, still wearing his wrinkled dark shirt. On Nathan's lap, baby Ellyn slept soundly, while Edward was carried in a blanket in Nathan's left hand.Nathan gazed at Elena's face, still lying there. Her skin was pale, but her breathing was steady. Elena's face remained beautiful, as if she were simply sleeping soundly."Darling..." Nathan whispered, barely audible. "Today I sent Chintya to the psychiatric hospital. I know you can't hear me. But I promise, all of this is for you. For our family.”Ellyn suddenly stirred and began to whine. Edward followed with a small cry. Nathan panicked for a moment, then stood up slowly and placed Ellyn on the left side of the bed, while Edward was on the right, near Elena’s head.“Shhh… don’t cry, sweetie… come on, don’t fuss. Mommy is re

Chapter 174Night fell. The dim lights in Elena's hospital room glowed softly. The atmosphere was calm, with only the sound of the monitor's beeps and Elena's slow breathing audible. Nathan sat by the bedside, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on his wife's sleeping face.Nathan's hand held Elena's warm hand, though it was slightly weak.“Elena, I’m always here,” Nathan whispered softly, as usual.And suddenly, Elena’s fingers began to move again.Nathan sat up straight. “Elena? Honey?”His fingers gripped Elena’s hand tighter. Then, Elena’s eyelids slowly opened. Her eyes looked weary, but they were clearly open.“El... can you hear me?” Elena stared at the ceiling, her eyes blinking a few times. Then she slowly turned toward Nathan’s voice. Nathan smiled tearfully, his tears flowing uncontrollably. “Darling… finally… you’re awake…”Elena remained silent. Her face looked confused. She stared at Nathan for a long time... then furrowed her brow. “Who... are you?” Elena’s voice was soft

Chapter 176Eight o'clock in the morning. Inside the room, sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, illuminating Elena sitting in her wheelchair near the window. She looked calm, but her expression still held a trace of confusion.The door slowly opened. Nathan entered cautiously."El..." Nathan greeted softly.Elena turned quickly. Her eyes sparkled slightly.“You came again,” Elena said.Nathan smiled slightly. “I’m always here, El. Do you need anything?”Elena shook her head. “I just… want to go home. I’ve rested enough. Damian must be worried.”Nathan swallowed slowly. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Elena.“El… Damian is busy right now. He has a lot of work to take care of,” Nathan replied softly. “Didn’t Damian come to pick me up?” Elena frowned. “Not yet. But Damian will be here soon.” Elena lowered her head, rubbing her fingers. “In that case, I want to talk to the children. Katty, Delya… and Olivia. Where are they?” Before Nathan could answer, the sound

That morning, the sun was already high when Damian arrived at the construction site. Dust filled the air as workers began marking the foundation area. Tamara stood not far from him, reviewing the design plans on her tablet. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, her face serious.“Looks like everything’s on schedule,” Tamara said, glancing briefly at Damian.Damian nodded. “Let’s hope it stays that way until the end.”Today marked the first day of construction for the café they had designed together. It was supposed to be a fresh start—calm, simple, far from all the chaos of the past.Suddenly, Damian’s phone rang. Nathan appeared on the screen.“Excuse me for a second,” Damian said, stepping aside.“Hello?” he answered.“Damian, it’s me,” Nathan’s voice sounded tired.“What’s wrong?” Damian immediately grew alert.“Elena,” Nathan replied. “She keeps asking to go back to the Lancaster Mansion. She insists that you’re her husband—and that’s the only reality she believes in.”Damian let out a

Damian’s car stopped in front of a small tropical-style villa. Located on the outskirts of the city, the building was simple, but clean and comfortable. Tall trees surrounded the area, making the atmosphere feel calm and far from the noise.Elena slowly opened the car door. She looked at the villa with a furrowed brow. “Damian… we’re staying here?” she asked softly.Damian turned and gave a short nod. “Yes. For now, we’re staying here.”Katty and Delya got out of the back seat first, followed by Alva who immediately grabbed Elena’s hand.“But… this isn’t our house, right?” Elena was still trying to be sure. “I don’t remember us living in a villa…”Damian gave a small smile. “It’s not. This wasn’t our home before.”Elena looked at him, confused. “Then... what happened to your parents? Your mom and dad… my in-laws?”Damian was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. “They’re… not here anymore, Elena.”“What do you mean?”“Lancaster went bankrupt a long time ago. Mom… is now in a m
