Chapter 148 - Panic

"Honey, you think too far, my love is only for you, I will never share it!". 

Sophia didn't want to listen to Michael's explanation, she kept trying to get out of Michael's arms until finally her head was dizzy and a moment later her body went limp and passed out.

Realizing that Sophia's body was limp and almost slumped down, Michael immediately held her back.

Instantly Michael panicked when he realized that Sophia had passed out in his arms. He immediately lifted Sophia's body and laid her down on the bed slowly.

"Honey, wake up! Please wake up!". Michael said, crying with anxiety.

After that Michael contacted the obstetrician who usually treats Sophia.

Not long after, the doctor came and immediately conducted an examination on Sophia. 

"How are my wife and children, doctor?". Michael asked after seeing the doctor finished examining Sophia.

The doctor took a deep breath and then looked at Michael meaningfully. "Your wife and children are fine for now, therefore you have to take care of your wife's emotions, because if she is depressed or feeling depressed it will be a bad risk to the fetus, and the worst possibility is a miscarriage".

Hearing the doctor's explanation, Michael felt very guilty, only because that unintentional mistake put his wife and child in danger.

"Thank you doctor, I will remember your advice!". 

The doctor smiled, and to be honest he was envious of how gentle and caring Michael was for his wife.

Michael really feels guilty and heartbroken, because he almost lost his second child.

After being busy with his thoughts, Michael looked back at Sophia's face, instantly he felt the deepest heartbreak when he saw his wife's pale face. 

Michael sat next to Sophia who was sleeping while stroking her face and crying while saying, "Honey, I know you are a wise and forgiving girl, was my mistake really so fatal to you that it hurt your tender heart? I don't want you to leave me because of you. I can not be without you!".

Michael really felt guilty, he felt his world crumble, he knew how stubborn Sophia was when she felt let down. 

Michael was worried that Sophia would still go if she woke up later. 

Michael thinks it's true what people say that the name of the wife, they will survive and be strong even in poverty, they will even be at the forefront to support her husband to success even though she failed many times, but one that is difficult for a wife to hold, is that jealousy and unwilling to share her love with other women.

"God... Please soften my wife's heart to forgive me! I love my wife and children. Therefore I promise I will never do it again!". Michael kissed the back of Sophia's hand after saying that.

After that Michael continued to stare greedily at Sophia's face and continued to sit beside Sophia without being bored as if afraid that Sophia would leave him if she wasn't by his side.

Moments later, Michael's cell phone rings. Michael immediately picked it up because it was from Jason.

"Boss... Miss Joice is awake and she's looking for you!".

"Tell her I'm still busy, and if you can't keep her in the hospital, then you will suffer the consequences!" 

Hearing Michael's threat, Jason immediately trembled, his expression turned ugly and he had no choice but to obey his boss' orders.

"I'll do it boss!"

After Jason said that, Michael immediately hung up the phone.

At the hospital, Jason walked into Joice's room nervously. At that moment Joice glared at Jason who had just entered.

"Where's Michael?". Asked Joice.

Jason looked thoughtful because he was afraid he would say the wrong thing. Just then he remembered Michael's calm and cold demeanor, although he lacked confidence but this time for his boss he tried hard to show that calm demeanor.

After walking towards Joice's bed in cold sweat he saw Joice's beautiful face.

"Mr. Michael will be here soon!". Jason answered expressionlessly.

Joice pouted at Jason's answer.

"Is it true that he is married and has children?".

"Yes. They were married nine years ago...". Jason replied a little nervously.

Joice burst into tears when she heard Jason's explanation. "Why didn't he ever tell me? I love him, love him very much even though I know that he only thinks of me as his sister, but I always hope that one day he can see me as a woman who deserves to be loved. Now what should I do, tell me!".

Jason just stared at Joice, he really wanted to wipe her tears, but he felt ashamed and inappropriate. Suddenly Joice hugged him who was standing silently beside the bed, Joice leaned on Jason's stomach, instantly Jason was shocked and shaking.

"Do I deserve to be treated like this?". Asked Joice, sobbing. 

Jason was silent because he didn't know what to say, because this wasn't his field.

While sobbing Joice said again, "Michael is my first love, that time I just got home from tutoring and someone stopped my car, he asked for my help to take the accident victim to the hospital. When I saw his face covered in blood my heart skipped a beat, and when I started to fall in love with him, at that time he lost a lot of blood, and coincidentally we were the same blood type, I also donated my blood to him, he survived critical but unfortunately he fell into a coma, even so every time I came home from school I always stopped by the hospital to accompany and read a story to him, until two years passed he finally realized and lost his memory, and I told him that I was his girlfriend. His parents and family also supported our relationship, even though he never smiled and never said anything to me I was still happy because of him always wanted to accompany me on walks, until finally his memory came back and then he just disappeared, I found out where he is, and I followed him but I have to swallow disappointed like this, why is Michael so mean to me?".

Joice kept crying as she continued her story. Jason unconsciously patted his back.

Jason is a guy who never believes himself to be close to girls but he is a very honest and hardworking young man, he is also smart and very good at his job, he knows that he is just an ordinary guy who is often rejected by girls, not because of his looks because he actually is a pretty handsome look but he doesn't know how to approach women, he's also not very romantic and the thing that makes him feel inferior is that he's not a rich person.

"Maybe God has other plans for you!" Jason said after a long silence.

Hearing Jason's words, Joice let go of her arms and looked up at Jason.

"Can you come out, I want to rest?" Joice said quietly.

Jason immediately nodded.

"If you need anything please call me! Because I'm outside looking after you!".

Joice turned around and tried to close her eyes, while Jason seemed to take a breath and immediately left Joice's room.

Meanwhile at a five-star hotel, Charles was neatly dressed in his fancy suit and standing by the window making a call to Syenina who was still at Larry's house.

"Hello brother?".

"Get ready, soon the driver will pick you up!".

"Where are we going?" Sheina asked confusedly.

"I'll explain it to you later!"

"Okay!". 

After that Charles hung up the phone and rushed out to the hotel restaurant.

It wasn't long before Charles arrived at the fine restaurant and there were already many people waiting for him.

"Good evening Mr. Charles!". Said one of the CEOs of a well-known company in the city of B. 

Charles immediately nodded after that he sat in his chair.

"Can we start, because we have very little time?". Asked Charles expressionlessly.

"Okay Mr. Charles, we will start this event, but who is the model that matches the beauty of this necklace and diamond that we are going to produce?".

Charles smiled. "Surely a beautiful and classy woman".

"Does Mr. Charles know any artist in this country who is suitable to be our brand ambassador?".

"Jennifer... She will be the model that fits the beauty of the diamond". Replied Charles.

Hearing Jennifer's name, several people who knew her background looked astonished and doubtful.

"Sorry Mr. Charles... It seems a bit difficult because Miss Jennifer is the daughter of one of the biggest diamond companies in the country.. So she definitely won't agree!".
