Right now, the feelings of Edith and her younger sister were being overwhelmed with sadness. Mom Edna was pronounced dead from bleeding in her brain and was late for surgery.
All-black clothes were used by the Edith family, which consisted of only Edith and her three younger siblings. Edith is now 20 years old, she has to bear the lives of her three younger siblings aged 13, 11, and 9 years.
"Don't worry, I'll always be with you. I will protect you and your sister" Alexa said, hugging Edith.
"Thank you, Miss," Edith returned Alexa's embrace very tightly.
Alexa approached James and spoke in a whisper. It made the distance between the two so thin. Michael could only rub his face rough and resist the strange taste within him.
They also returned to their homes. Edith was actually waiting for their Daddy's arrival, but she had never gotten word since her second divorce 5 years ago. He could only look at Mom Edna's still-wet tomb from behind the window of the car driven by James.

Meanwhile at the Evans Family residence, a happy boisterous voice sounded. Again, happiness was on his side. Darren was so happy that Sisca was revealed to be pregnant at this time.
* Flashback on
Sisca who fell and was unconscious, made Darren wake up because he heard the sound of broken glass. He who initially wanted to get angry, immediately clenched his mouth when he saw the state of Sisca on the floor with unconsciousness.
He was wearing room sandals and approached his wife. He slowly passed through the broken glass and lifted up Sisca's body. He put Sisca on the bed, then changed clothes in the wardrobe.
When he finished, he carried Sisca back and took her to the car. Even Darren woke up his personal driver because he did not want to drive in the morning blind in a state that was still sleepy.
Both arrived at the hospital. Darren immediately asked the doctor to check on his wife. He did not want his wife to suffer from a deadly disease and would interfere with his life.
Darren waits outside while the doctor checks for Sisca. Not long after, the doctor came out and Darren immediately stood up.
"How's Doc doing with my wife?" ask Darren worriedly.
"Your wife is okay, sir. He only fainted from a headache and lack of fluids. Your wife is currently 4 weeks pregnant" explained the doctor.
Darren's face changed slightly when he heard the doctor's explanation.
"Kids? Sisca is pregnant? That means I'll be a parent soon?" a happy hue was instantly etched on his face. He entered the room where Sisca was dealt with. He smiled happily as he entered and saw his wife's face still looking pale.
"Thank you, baby."
Sisca also knew about her pregnancy. He's getting happier because it means Darren will be more attached to him. Among them will soon be a child, their family will be more complete and happy.
"Remember! You have to take good care of my son. Don't let anything happen to her. You can no longer choose food. I will order the chef to provide you with healthy food" Darren said.
Although Darren ruled so much and also gave some prohibitions, but for Sisca it is okay. He was convinced it was all because Darren loved him so much and wanted him and their son to always be in good health.
Darren immediately informed his family and it certainly made his family so happy. The news quickly spread, even before Sisca was discharged from the hospital.
Both Darren's parents and Sisca's parents are now in the Evans family residence. They celebrate the news of Sisca's silence. For both families, this will be the first grandchild, which is why they are very happy with this.
Dinner is where they talk and joke. Sisca could see the happiness on the faces of Darren, his parents, and also his in-laws. He felt more and more a very loved person.

Alexa is back to seeing news about Sisca's pregnancy. His desire to avenge and his heartache softened a little. He who loves children so much, felt he could not bear if he had to hurt the child who is currently in the womb of Sisca.
he sighed softly and leaned his head on the chair while knocking on the pen he was holding. Currently, Alexa is checking some documents at her home, after Claudia delivered them in 1 large bag.
For a few days now, Alexa hasn't visited Michael's house. He was very tired because of his work at school and also his work at Williams Group and Alpenze Coorp. In addition, he is taking care of Edith's move to England, where the Alpenze Coorp is located.
Alexa intends to put Edith into the Alpenze Coorp, but before that she will give up the girl. Alexa asks James who is back to be someone who helps them. James reasoned that he would hire them on farms and plantations, so they should have an education. Edith and her three younger siblings of course accepted it gladly, despite refusing at first.
The next day, Alexa returns to visit Michael's house. He hasn't been there in a few days. He simply told the man that he was taking care of Edith and her three younger siblings. Fortunately, Michael accepted the reason.
"Good day" said Alexa.
Michael, who was resting his body on the sofa while reading a book, immediately woke up and sat watching the arrival of Alexa.
"Your business is done?" ask Michael.
"It has. Thank you for allowing me to take a few days off" Alexa replied, wearing a striped box shirt she used to work in Michael's house.
"How are Edith and her sister?" ask Michael. Since the day of the funeral, he no longer met Edith and was more in the house. Not without reason, he was wanting to be alone and think about his feelings.
"They're better now. They will soon go to England to go to school" Alexa explained.
"english? Why go there? Wouldn't it be better here?" asked Michael astonished.
"James has an acquaintance there who will help them. James' acquaintances will help take care of them and make sure they get an education."
"Why James?"
Alexa looked towards Michael. He knew that he had mispronounced, and he had even opened something that he should have hidden. Michael knitted his eyebrows together as if asking Alexa.
"Of course, who else will help us here. James is the right guy. He is a rich man here and he offers his help, so why should it be rejected" Alexa replied. That was the answer that first came to his mind.
I'm starting to see that you're no different than most women.Michael.
