----------
"For ten years, I have loved you in vain. Now, my love has withered."

Liliana Xin was treated like wallpaper in her four years of marriage with her CEO husband Asher Shen, despite her best efforts to build a happy home. 

She thought she could endure his neglect, but when a miscarriage got her nothing but a cold shoulder from her husband, Liliana decided enough was enough!

"Divorce me this instant."

What's the use of wallowing in self-pity? Shouldn't she be her own boss and lead a life without begging for a man's love anymore? It was time for her to squeeze out massive alimony from this apathetic man and leave to become a successful woman on her own! 

On her healing journey, Liliana crossed paths with Lucas Liu. The younger man had the same forlorn look in his eyes, reminding Liliana of her misery.

"Join me. I'll make you more powerful." She promised, wanting to save him to repay him for his kindness. He was there for her at her lowest. 

With Lucas and her friends, Liliana continued moving forward. She didn't look back at the people who had never cherished her. They were no longer important to her.

But there's someone that wasn't happy with this new development. Asher reappeared, his frosty cold mask was replaced with deep regret and longing.

"I was wrong. Please, come back! I'll do anything!"

Liliana scoffed, turning her back on her first love. She won't repeat the same mistake of loving him ever again.

Get Rid of Him

Lucas and Kevin were only allowed inside the ICU after they wore sets of protective clothes; gloves, isolation gowns, face masks and hats. They obediently followed the nurse's guidance.

Linda was not the only patient inside the ICU. Lucas and Kevin moved quietly, afraid of disturbing other sick people.

Dr. Long appeared shortly due to the emergency call. Two more nurses tailed from behind. The medical providers gathered around Linda's bed to check on Linda, led by the doctor.

Lucas and Kevin stood quite a distance away from Linda. They didn't want their presence to hinder Dr. Long and the nurses from performing the necessary tests. The brothers' eyes were glued on the bed.

"Mom... she really... has woke up now?"

Kevin's voice was laced with tremors. He almost burst into tears at the sight of Linda weakly blinking her eyes. This still felt so surreal to him.
