Alice gazed at Noah's sleeping face, tears streaming endlessly from her eyes as she remembered what had befallen her son.That morning, Noah had developed a high fever. His condition was so weak that they were forced to bring him back to the hospital. Dom had initially thought he could care for Noah at home, but the situation required further medical attention with more complete equipment.Dom entered the room, a paper bag in his hand containing lunch for Alice. His wife had not eaten a single bite since last night."You should eat, my love. I'll watch Noah," Dom said, gently touching Alice's shoulder.Alice turned with a faint smile. "Yes, thank you for bringing food," she said, kissing the hand Dom had placed on her shoulder.Dom nodded, briefly kissing Alice's forehead as she stood up."Don't rush, just eat slowly. I'm free this afternoon anyway," Dom added.Alice nodded, taking the food from Dom's hand and walking over to the sofa to eat.Now it was Dom's turn to be stunned by Noa

Elena paced before the hearth, a troubled expression on her face. She let out agitated sighs, lost in thought. Emily watched her in silence, her own sense of panic rising, but she did not know what to do.Alistair was coming. He was on a commercial flight and was expected to arrive tomorrow morning. Elena did not want her father to know about the rift in her marriage to Evander, and she certainly could not let him see that his daughter and son-in-law were no longer living together. What would he say? Elena could not bear to disappoint him and make him hate Evander all over again. She refused to let the terrible events of years ago repeat themselves.“What are you going to do, Miss?” Emily asked, unable to stay quiet any longer.Elena stopped, her face wrought with anxiety. She did not answer right away. Then, her eyes widened.“There’s no other way, Emily. I have to ask Evan to come back here,” she decided.Emily frowned, perplexed. That sounded risky, especially given the chaotic sta

"I've missed you, Miss Elena..."Elena's body stiffened the moment she heard the whisper in her ear. She looked up and met his brown eyes, finding herself captivated by their gentle gaze."Captain... Evan..."Evander lowered himself, kneeling on the floor until he was the one looking up at Elena's face. He postured himself like a servant before his master.Elena held her breath.She remembered the first night they met after his return to Indonesia, after five long years apart and after she had lost both their children. She remembered how he had touched her, ignoring every scar and keloid that stretched across her stomach."Elena...""Evan... no..."A soft whimper escaped Elena's lips as Evander gently pushed her back, her body pressing against the wall. He gathered both her hands in a single grip, holding them above her head."I miss the scent of your body," Evander whispered against her neck, planting soft kisses and leaving a trail of moisture on her skin.Elena couldn't deny that s

Evander emerged from his superior’s office with a grim expression. His request to resign from his duties had been denied. As one of the top agents, on par with his partner, Hazel, his departure was out of the question."What's making you so defeatist, Captain? You're the best agent we have. There's no reason for us to approve your resignation request. Your promotion is just around the corner."That was, more or less, his superior's answer."Do I have to cut off my own leg to get a retirement?" he grumbled under his breath.Before he could finish the thought, Hazel appeared from another direction, her face tense. She strode toward Evander with wide steps."What exactly are you trying to do?" Hazel blurted out, her jaw tight as she kept her voice low. She had heard that Evander had submitted his resignation.Evander let out a long sigh. "I just want to focus on finding Noah," he said softly.Hazel, who had been on the verge of anger, closed her mouth. She looked like she wanted to say s

Hazel kicked the door down when she heard a commotion coming from the bathroom. She had just returned to the room to find Evander gone from his bed. She assumed he was in the bathroom, and she was right, though something sounded very wrong. Hearing a curse from inside, she didn't hesitate for a second, ramming the door with a powerful kick.The door flew open, torn from its hinges. The scene that followed made her eyes widen in shock."Evan!"He was cornered, a knife aimed straight for his face.The attacking woman was startled when the door behind her was violently thrown open. Sensing her assailant’s momentary lapse in strength, Evander shoved her, sending her stumbling backward.Realizing the situation was no longer in her favor, the woman scrambled to her feet and fled the room. Enraged, Hazel gave chase. In her haste, she accidentally collided with Elena in the hospital corridor. It seemed Elena had come to visit Evander."You?!""Please, just watch him for a minute!" Hazel shout
