But I knew I couldn’t let that stop me. I vowed to myself to seize this opportunity, to make the most of every moment, every breath, every second I was given.
The lightness of my gratitude was a lifting pride, but I welcomed it, to be the man she deserved, and to cherish this gift she’d given me. We discussed our financial struggles, and I shared with her my plans to address them. I’ve put the property I inherited from my grandparents in Houston up for sale, and I’ve had a conversation with my parents about it – they’re more concerned about Willy’s well–being than anything else.
I’ve also invested in a business, which will start generating hefty profits from next month onwards. Additionally, I’ve been exploring job opportunities in South Korea and have even secured an interview with a company there. Although it’s a step down from my current position, the pay i decent, and I’m willing to make sacrifices for our family’s future.
That’s not all, Loe was relieved knowing we also won’t have to worry about rent, since the treatment will be confidential and we’ll be provided with an average apartment at the medical center. It’s a huge weight off our shoulders, and I’m grateful for that. We can focus on Willy’s recovery without stressing about accommodation costs.

And to make things even more convenient, the treatment package includes a ‘family package‘ that covers not just the medical expenses, but also our flights and food. It’s an all–inclusive deal that takes care of everything we need while we’re there, so we can focus on Willy’s recovery without worrying about the additional regular costs.
The treatment comes with a hefty payment, but I’m willing to drain my bank account to regain my true treasure, the love and well–being of my family. I’ve realized that all the money I’ve earned can’t bring me happiness, and I’ve lost sight of what truly matters in my pursuit of wealth. Now, I’m willing to sacrifice everything to win back what I’ve lost.
After our short but heart–to–heart conversation, we walked out together, and Leona casually mentioned that she’d be riding back home with us. I had to restrain myself from bursting into a triumphant ‘yes!‘ and dropping to my knees in tears of joy. It was a moment of pure elation.
I noticed her brother had dropped her off here, and she’d brought the suitcase she’d packed when she left – a subtle sign that she was ready to return home, to us.
I couldn’t contain my excitement, my wife was coming home! She was willing to try, to be with us again. That’s all that mattered. As long as she was close enough, I vowed to envelop her with my love and actions, to soak up every ounce of pain and tears I’d caused her. I was determined to make up for lost time, to hold her close and never let her go again.
I had just finished securing Willy’s wheelchair in the trunk when my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I frowned, feeling a sense of unease as I picked it up.

tone. “Will, Alenia… she’s missing from her place.” My heart skipped a beat, then stopped altogether.
Time seemed to freeze as I processed his words. Missing? How could that be? We had just… we had just made progress, Leona was coming home. Everything was going to be okay. But now… now my mind was racing with worst–case scenarios. I felt like I’d been punched in the nose, my breath knocked out of me. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t think. All I could do was stand there, phone in hand, as my world came crashing down around me once again.
