The hospital corridor was still filled with the smell of medicine and the soft beeping of medical equipment. Olivia sat on the metal chair in front of the ICU room, holding Arnold’s hand that was connected to an IV. Her eyes were swollen, but she tried to stay strong.“I’m here, Arn…” she whispered softly. “I won’t go anywhere.”Even though Arnold’s body did not move at all, the heart monitor beside him continued to beep steadily but weakly. Olivia gently stroked his cold cheek, hoping he would open his eyes.Elena stood near the door, watching her daughter with a sad expression. “Liv, you need to eat first, Sweetheart. You haven’t eaten anything since this morning.”Olivia shook her head without looking at her. “I’m not hungry, Mom.”Nathan approached. “Liv, you need strength. Arnold would want you to take care of yourself.”“I don’t want to leave him, Daddy. Arnold is scared of dark rooms, he once told me. If he wakes up later, he’ll panic if I’m not here.”Elena pressed her lips to

The meeting room at the design office that afternoon felt warm with sunlight. Olivia sat at the end of the long table with several sheets of the newly made ground-floor sketches. Even though her eyes were slightly puffy from lack of sleep, her expression remained professional.The door opened and a middle-aged man walked in with steady steps.“Good afternoon, Miss Olivia,” the man greeted warmly.“Good afternoon, Mr. Veer,” Olivia replied as she stood and shook his hand.Mr. Veer immediately sat down and looked at the neatly arranged papers. “Wow, I’m really curious. You said this is still in the sketch phase?”Olivia nodded. “Yes, Sir. I’ve only finished the rough outline of the ground floor. But I’ve already created the flow concept to keep it efficient for the 500 units later.”Mr. Veer already looked enthusiastic even before touching the papers. “May I see it?”“Please.”As soon as he pulled the sketch closer, Mr. Veer’s eyes brightened. He leaned forward, examining every detail o

Three months had passed since that day. Time moved slowly, yet it never truly stopped. Olivia stood by the window of her apartment, gazing at the city of New York as it gradually became wrapped in the soft glow of the afternoon light. Her hair was now tied back simply, her face calmer, though her eyes carried a different kind of maturity.On her work desk sat a small framed photo of herself and Arnold. Olivia looked at it for a moment, then took a deep breath.“I’ve tried, Arnold,” she said softly. “Little by little.”She no longer cried every night. The tightness in her chest was still there, but it had transformed into memories she kept carefully. She learned to accept, even though she never truly forgot.There was a knock on the door.“Liv?” Elena’s voice came from outside. “Mommy’s coming in, okay?”“Yes, Mom.”Elena entered with a warm smile. She looked around Olivia’s room, which was now neater, filled with architectural models and rolled-up design papers.“You’re not leaving ye

CHAPTER 297After inspecting the second floor and confirming several minor revisions to the beam structure, Olivia closed her tablet. She removed her project helmet and handed it to the site staff.“That’s enough for today. Please note all the changes we discussed earlier,” Olivia said.“Yes, Miss Olivia,” the foreman replied.Ricky stood beside her and removed his helmet as well. “You look tired.”Olivia shrugged with a faint smile. “A bit. But it’s still manageable.”Ricky glanced at the watch on his wrist. “It’s already past lunchtime. Have you eaten?”Olivia shook her head. “Not yet. I forgot earlier.”Ricky was silent for a moment, then spoke carefully. “If that’s the case… would you like to have lunch together? There’s a small restaurant nearby—quiet, not crowded.”Olivia looked at him for a few seconds. There was no awkwardness like she had imagined. Instead, it felt normal.“Sure,” she finally answered. “I am hungry.”Ricky smiled slightly. “Alright. I’ll get the car.”Inside

CHAPTER 299One year passed quickly. That morning, the Nathan family’s dining room felt lively with light conversation and the clinking of cutlery. Elena sat at the end of the table, reading from her tablet, occasionally smiling to herself. Nathan sipped his coffee calmly, observing the warm atmosphere that filled the house.“Mommy keeps smiling to herself. What news is it this time?” Katty asked as she took a seat.Elena looked up. “The latest article. Mommy’s spring collection was chosen as the opening show for this year’s Paris Fashion Week.”Katty let out a soft whistle. “A Queen will always be a Queen.”Nathan smiled proudly. “Congratulations, my love.”“Thank you,” Elena replied as she turned toward Olivia, who had just entered wearing her work blazer. “And that’s not all. Olivia also received an invitation to present in Berlin next week.”Olivia laughed softly. “Mommy is exaggerating. It’s just an architecture forum.”Nathan shook his head. “An international forum.
