"Don't cry okay?" She nodded. He took her outside the walk-in closet and fetch her a gla.s.s of water. She stop crying and yet she's still pouting. "I already put it on. Are you happy now?" she nodded. She wrapped her arms on his arms and hugged it like a koala hanging on the branch of a tree. "I have to work."

"I want to cuddle." She mutter and look up at him with those puppy eyes. He exhales. She's been weird lately.

She keep singing in the recording studio in the other room and water the flowers. Then she ate weird stuffs… like pizza dipping it in a lot of ketchup then the mango and the shrimp paste. She ate a lot of it. She would then bother him with lots of things. she will suddenly blurt to him that she want him to strip and make love to her.

There are other stuffs that makes her weird. He understand that its because of hormones but Sabrina? Really?

Sabrina clung into his arm while he's reading some doc.u.ments. Then she went back to bed bringing the big panda bear that they bought and hug it clinging into the arm of it. He hate that panda. It occupies half of the bed leaving him no s.p.a.ce to sleep. She like hugging it more than she like hugging him.

He remove his sweater and put on another s.h.i.+rt as he attends a live conference meeting. Oliver was on the other line taking note. Once he's done, he call his men and told them they found Francisco in Davao he want to capture him but a footage made him stop. He was looking for a woman in a dress and lots of women appear with the same dress.

It was weird. Francisco was getting frantic. He had thought and then think of a woman coming out from Sabrina's room back in the US when she was admitted in EPUA facility. It didn't show her face but her back was slender yet curvy then when she turn around to the camera a man block her or them to avoid seeing her.

Gabriel look at his wife. Sabrina found out something that her grandfather is keeping, hiding from the world. What if—it's the woman who also makes Sabrina suffer for years? Is it possible? If it was Ezekiel Mondragon then there's nothing impossible for him.

"Find out who that woman is. I think she's the one making Francisco crazy. I want to see him become that obsessed. Don't capture him yet… we have to see how Ezekiel would play."

"Roger that boss."

Veronica open her eyes. Her mouth is dry and around was white and the sound of beeping machine was the first thing she heard followed by the pumping of oxygen. She feels that someone is watching her. She saw Tony standing by the gla.s.s outside the room. Then it opens as Tony put on the hospital dress. He then face Veronica and reach her hand.

"You—you lost weight." She murmur in a hoa.r.s.e voice. "Why aren't you taking care of yourself? Do you want me to take care of you instead of you to take care of me? How could you take care of me then if you are sick like me?" She ask though it was hard for her to talk.

"Shh, I will be healthy soon. So you should be too." He squeeze her hand lightly. "I have been eating and sleeping well. I will talk to your grandpa so we could settle a date for our wedding after you recover."

"Did you make the cure?"

"I make it with Sam."

"Thank you, Tony." She smile bitterly.

"You don't have to thank me. I am your husband. My duty is to protect and save my queen. So be strong okay? Then after you get discharge I will surely take care of you. Feed you, bath you, ma.s.sage you and even help you with your therapy."

"Tony…"

"I love you." He mutter and kisses her hand. Veronica smile slightly.

"I love you, Tony."

"How's Sabrina?"

"You don't have to worry over others. They are fine." He kiss her forehead.
