Soon, Aiden pulled his hands away from Jesse. "Stop being emotional," he said quietly, forcing a small smile. "It’s awkward."Johnny stepped out to call the doctor, while Mr. Hartmann walked fully into the room, setting down the small bag. He unzipped it and brought out a food flask."I knew you’d wake up the second you heard Aiden’s voice," Mr. Hartmann said with a weak smile.Jesse rolled his eyes slightly, his lips trembling with effort.Soon the doctor entered, checking Jesse’s vitals and looking at the monitors. Aiden leaned forward nervously."Doctor, what’s wrong? Is he okay?"The doctor’s tone was calm. "He’ll be fine as long as he gets operated on quickly."Aiden nodded, swallowing hard. "Thank you."“Let him eat first. I’ll give him his injections after,” the doctor said, stepping back.Aiden took the flask from Mr. Hartmann and scooped a spoonful of food, but Jesse frowned."Are you crazy? Do I look like a child to you? Or your wife?" Jesse said weakly, trying to push the s

Two nurses moved instantly, wheeling over the defibrillator. The anesthesiologist adjusted the oxygen levels again, his hands trembling slightly."Start chest compressions now!"A doctor leaned over Aiden, pressing hard against his chest in quick, steady thrusts while another checked the IV lines, but was careful not to press on the operated spot."Charge the defibrillator!" the lead surgeon ordered."But doctor..." the younger nurse hesitated. "His heart was transplanted barely two weeks ago. The shock could loosen the staples and cause internal bleeding.”The lead surgeon’s eyes hardened. "If we don’t act, there’ll be nothing left to save. Charge it!""Charging… CLEAR!"The paddles pressed against Aiden’s chest and his body jolted violently as the electric current surged through him.The monitor flickered...the line was still flat."No rhythm. Again!""Charging… CLEAR!"Aiden’s body jumped once more. Sweat ran down the doctors’ faces, and the anesthesiologist’s voice cracked slightl

Seeing how determined Jesse was, the doctor finally let out a quiet sigh and walked closer to him."That’s enough, Mr. Hartmann," he said gently. "I’ll ask the nurse to bring a wheelchair. You shouldn’t be forcing yourself like this. You're still very weak and not supposed to move around."Jesse stopped trying to walk, his breathing unsteady, and slowly lowered his hands from the wall. His mother immediately rushed to his side, carefully supporting his weak body so he wouldn’t fall.The doctor left the ward and returned a few minutes later with a nurse pushing a wheelchair. The nurse stopped it beside Jesse and helped him sit down slowly. Jesse clenched his jaw as a small groan escaped his lips when he bent slowly."Do you want your slippers?" his mom asked softly, already reaching for them.Jesse shook his head quickly. "No need. I’m fine like this. It’s not like I’m going to stand up anyway. Just… just take me to him."She gave him a small nod, trying to hide her worry, then moved b

"Don’t think about it too much, okay? You’ll find out everything eventually," Kelvin had told her with a soft smile.Alina didn’t reply. She just stared at nothing, her chest feeling heavier than usual. She didn’t even understand why… but when Kelvin had told her Aiden was dead, something inside her had cracked. It wasn’t just pain... it felt like a piece of her heart had been ripped away."Why does it hurt so much?" she wondered "Who is he to me? Why does the thought of him make my chest tighten like this?"Days passed, yet the ache didn’t fade. Every night, she dreamed of the same thing...a blurred face she couldn’t fully see and a warm hand tightly holding hers. Each time she woke up, her heart was racing as if she’d run a marathon. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake the feeling that someone important was missing from her life.Kelvin noticed the change. He noticed how quiet, distant, and distracted she had become.He tried everything to keep her close...movie nights,

The flight to Sydney had been long and stifling, but neither Aiden nor Jesse slept. They moved through the terminal and a driver met them at the arrivals gate. Mr. Tommy’s office was in a modest building near the harbour. It wasn’t the kind of place Aiden usually visited, but that morning it felt like what he needed. When they walked in, Mr. Tommy rose from behind his desk and offered a firm, businesslike smile. He had arranged a place for them at a nearby suite...a simple, clean place where they could rest before the meeting."Welcome to Sydney," Mr. Tommy said, shaking Aiden’s hand with a grip that was all apology and respect. "Sorry I insisted you come. I wanted to see how you're fairing in person."Aiden furrowed his brows, “What do you mean?"Mr. Tommy leaned forward, folding his hands on the desk. "Nothing serious. I was only concern. I mean, with everything you’ve been through...losing your grandmother, Madam Blackwood, and your wife’s missing, you still keep going. That tak
