Quickly, as requested by Ethan, Ula underwent a thorough health examination by the doctor. The examination took longer than Ethan had imagined, involving many steps that left his mind in turmoil, anxiety enveloping his inner world. In the midst of tension and suspense, the sound of the door opening caught Ethan's attention, making him startle."How is she, doctor?" Ethan stood up from his chair anxiously, hastily asking as the doctor emerged from Ula's room."Based on the preliminary examination, the patient shows signs of physical exhaustion. The cause could be irregular eating habits or prolonged mental stress leading to a general decline in health." The doctor looked at the report in the file and briefed Ethan on Ula's condition.The result truly shocked Ethan. He hadn't thought that Ula had endured and faced so many difficulties. Suddenly, Ethan self-blamed. Over the past, he has been too indifferent, harboring unjustified anger towards Ula."May I know what happened to her?" The
"Ula, I'm really exhausted. Please, let me go," Mrs. Donna continued, her voice pleading. She knew it would be very difficult for Ula to accept her death, so Mrs. Donna wanted to implore Ula to grant her this request. As both Mrs. Donna and Ethan predicted, Ula shook her head frantically, adamantly refusing to accept the cruel and harsh reality."I don't want you to die; I can't live without you. Please don't abandon me," Ula pleaded desperately."Ula, everyone will eventually die," Mrs. Donna calmly reassured her. "I have lived long enough. It's time for me to go. I am leaving because I want to, because God loves me more, not because I'm afraid of burdening you.""But I... I haven't been able to repay your kindness; I haven't given you a life of full enjoyment. I..." Ula sobbed, blaming herself. "I'm truly useless.""Ula, no one wishes for what has happened, including death. Everything is arranged by God, and He knows what He's doing with each of us. Most importantly, I don't expect
"Isn't it that you need Ethan's money? I can give it to you. Would that be satisfactory?" Ula asks with a sarcastic and mocking tone."It's my parents who want it, not me. I just want to live with Ethan. I love Ethan." Anne continues to pretend, thinking that Ula is a weak person, and after her grandmother's death, Ula's mental state is unstable. Anne believes that she can exploit Ula's vulnerability to win. Unexpectedly, Ula surprises Anne by displaying a challenging attitude."What if I don't agree?""Then we won't easily forgive Ethan." The woman, considered Anne's mother, speaks up sharply. , "I will make both you and Ethan regret that decision. I will let the whole world know that Ethan is a despicable man who abandoned his own child. Ethan's career and reputation will be ruined."Realizing that arguing with criminals is unwise, as it only tires oneself and wastes time, Ula decides to stop. After all, she already understands what has been happening. What she needs to do is let Et
Afterward, Ethan helped Ula stand up and led her back home. However, unexpectedly, something happened. A sudden rain shower drenched them quickly. Under the darkening evening sky and raindrops falling like pearls from the heavens, Ethan carried Ula step by step through the dense forest path. Their hearts beat strongly, resonating with the serene atmosphere of the forest. Each step was a beat, an effort traded for worries and difficulties. Outside, the rain sparkled like the world's sorrow, but within Ethan's arms, he carried belief, hope, and warmth for Ula. Unable to reach home due to the challenging path, they stumbled upon a wooden house in the middle of the forest. The house was often used by nature lovers for a tranquil retreat. Sheltered beneath the roof, the door opened into a cozy space. With the nightfall behind the door and gentle light streaming into the room, in the painting of silence, Ethan gently placed her on the wide bed. "Take off your wet clothes, Ula, or you'll c
At the warm dawn in the city of Toronto, where the sun weaves golden threads over the beautiful high-rise buildings, casting its glow upon the bustling streets, Ethan Thomas was awakened in room 2023 at the JW Blue hotel. With a heavy mind and blurred vision, Ethan slowly opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling spinning in the hotel room. After stabilizing his sight, Ethan turned his gaze to find the source of the distressing cries. Immediately, he was confronted with the image of a young girl sitting huddled in the corner against the wall. Her body was only covered with a simple piece of cloth, and her long hair concealed her face. The girl was sobbing incessantly, mumbling words of pleading. Ethan was utterly puzzled by the situation. In a sudden rush, he sat up to his feet, inadvertently causing the blanket to fall from his chest. Startled, Ethan realized his own nakedness. He tried to summon his memory to make sense of the situation but quickly failed. His mi
At this moment, at the police station, Ethan was escorted into the criminal interrogation room. The police asked him questions about the case and demanded that he answer truthfully, but he remained solemn and resolute, asserting his right to remain silent. Ethan believed that there was no one here he could trust, and therefore, staying silent was the best way to protect himself. "We will provide you with a lawyer," the police said, hoping that Ethan would cooperate so they could clarify the case. "No need," Ethan calmly declined. "Are you sure?" The police reminded him, "That's not a wise choice." "I want my own lawyer to come here," Ethan insisted without explaining anything. ... As soon as Liam, Ethan's private lawyer and close friend, received the news of Ethan's arrest, he quickly flew from New York to Toronto and went straight to the police station to find out about the situation. After working with the police and the victim's lawyer, Liam also got to meet and talk privatel
There was no time to delay saving Ethan from the clutches of the legal system. Liam was quick to act. First, he decided to keep a close eye on the girl who accused Ethan of raping her to uncover the mastermind behind it.During the surveillance and investigation, Liam learned that the girl's family owed money to the mafia. It seemed likely that she had collaborated with Ethan's enemy to orchestrate this scheme to harm him. If the case is successful, the girl will have some money to pay off the debt.After three days of following the girl, Liam speculates that the girl may be very worried and frustrated that she still hasn't received the amount she should have received after completing the task.Trusting his sharp instincts, Liam devised a highly feasible plan. He decisively put it into action. When he saw the girl sitting alone in a café, seemingly waiting for someone, Liam approached her with an attractive enticement."Hello, I wish you a good day," Liam greeted politely."Who are yo
Everything went according to plan afterward. Liam successfully convinced the judge to believe in his direction. After two weeks of being detained in the police station's temporary cell, Ethan was finally released when Mila changed her testimony and withdrew the lawsuit as per the mutual agreement between her and Liam. That's great for Ethan, but it's something his enemies hate and despise. Although pronounced innocent, everything wasn't entirely back to normal for both Ethan and Mila. Both of them were fined a significant amount for disturbing the peace with the law. Additionally, Ethan had to be under the supervision of Toronto city authorities for six months, meaning he couldn't return to the US or travel anywhere else during that period. Though somewhat disgruntled, Ethan accepted it, knowing that being free was already a positive outcome.Today, three days after Ethan's release, the fake marriage agreement between Ethan and Mila is supposed to take place. The ceremony is simple, d
