The next morning, it was Monday, March 15th. Ingrid woke up and was sleepy, and when she became more lucid, she noticed that she was lying on Luan's well-defined chest with broad shoulders. The memories of the previous night came to her mind. She was not sorry, however, she was a little embarrassed and excited at the same time. She looked at Luan's face asleep and admired how beautiful he was while he slept.

With her left hand close to his head, Ingrid moved her hand over Luan's silky white hair. It was a pleasant feeling, and she had become slightly addicted to it.

​​

Looking at the clock next to the headboard, Ingrid saw that it was already six in the morning.

"Luan, wake up... It's almost time to go to work." Ingrid shook him.

Luan, who was woken by Ingrid, opened his eyes and said, "Good morning, Ingrid."

"Good Morning." Seeing that he was heading towards her for a kiss, Ingrid also leaned towards him.

After getting out of bed, Ingrid also got out of bed and said, "I'm going to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yes, see you downstairs." Luan said as he walked towards the bathroom.

"Ingrid?" Maira's voice sounded a little surprised to see Ingrid leaving Luan's room wearing only pajamas, but then she smiled. "Good morning. Did you wake up, Luan?"

"Err. Yes, well, I slept..." Ingrid didn't want to lie and said, "I slept in his room, and I also woke up just now. He must be in the bath."

"Ara? Should I wait for good news and see my grandchildren running around the house?" Maira asked with a malicious smile.

"No, I mean, I am on my period so we only sleep in the same bed." Ingrid felt very ashamed when talking about it, but she didn't want Maira to misunderstand.

"Then that's it." Maira came over and put her hand on Ingrid's head as she stroked her hair. "You don't need to be ashamed. This is natural, and you can always talk to me about anything. But I must say, if you want to have children, even though I want to see my grandchildren, wait until you are both strong enough to be able to face any future problems, especially now that the future is uncertain with these dimensional cracks appearing. We don't know if there will come a time when not only these dimensional cracks appear, but monsters will also come out of them and attack everyone they see in front of them."

"Yes, that makes sense." Ingrid felt more comfortable hearing Maira speak so softly and giving sincere advice. "Thanks for the advice."

"You're welcome." Maira continued to smile as she said, "I'm coming down to prepare breakfast. Come down as soon as you finish taking a shower and change."

"Yes, I will try to be quick to help," Ingrid said.

"Hehe, don't worry about it. I like doing these things for my kids, and you are practically a daughter to me now too." Maira liked this girl more and more. She pinched Ingrid's pink face before waving and walking down the stairs.

'Luan has a disgraceful father, but at least he was blessed with an incredible mother,' Ingrid murmured in her heart before walking to the bedroom.

"Mrs. Armanda, the patient suffers from focal nerve damage. Because of that, she suffers from muscular paralysis of both legs," the doctor said sternly, "And her right leg needs to be amputated as soon as possible if you don't want to affect the fetus, but even if it is amputated, there is still a risk that the fetus will suffer spontaneous abortion."

Armanda was in shock. Not only did her son fall into a coma, now, she also had to deal with the possible death of her grandchild who was not even born, and also her daughter-in-law, who lost her leg movements and needed to have her right leg amputated.

"My God!" Armanda Silva Hamibo covered her mouth with her two hands in shock. She had no one she could count on now. Her husband was just a sleaze she had filed for divorce against, and he didn't even show up at the hospital when their son was in an accident.

Armanda Hamibo Silva did not think about calling Monica's family, since Monica said that her mother and sister hated her and always treated her badly. To say that Monica was in the hospital and had to amputate her right leg could do more harm than good, or so Armanda thought.

"Even if I choose to not care about the fetus, will I still need to amputate Monica's leg?" Armanda Hamibo Silva bit her lower lip until it bled and asked herself.

"Yes, only it would be at a medium level. If you do it now in an attempt to save the fetus, it will have to be at the proximal level - close to the knee, but if you do it without worrying about the survival of the fetus, it can be done at the middle level near the center of the bones." the doctor explained to her.

"Let me think a little." Armanda did not respond immediately. She wanted to wait for her eldest son to arrive, and then she could talk to him before making a decision.

Luan had two meetings in the morning and also started creating the game trailer. At the moment he was just setting up and plotting the trailer, then he intended to hire voice actors to put the final touches on the trailer.

In the afternoon, Luan had two other meetings and one of them was a business dinner in São Paulo.

Ingrid went with Luan, and they stayed at a 5-star hotel and would only return tomorrow since Luan had another meeting scheduled in São Paulo.

Leon had his eyes empty. After penile fracture surgery, he had a loss of erection, size, and caliber due to the fibrosis that formed in the injured area. Now, to reverse this situation and restore the health and quality of the penis, it was necessary to reconstruct it using the Egydio technique.

"Why am I being so unlucky? Why are these bad things happening to me? Because..." Leon murmured as tears of sadness streamed from his eyes. Then the image of Maira Dimas, why he came back to Brazil, flashed in his mind. "It's her! It's all her fault and those bastard kids of hers! Damn, if I could, I would kill them and keep all the money, and then my father would be able to fix my Eros (dick)..."

Oblivious to what Leon Becker was going through, Luan was already at the hotel with Ingrid, lying in bed, with his laptop on his lap, messing with the configuration, creating the 3D animation of the game trailer.

"Luan, do you think Catharina will be upset?" With the palm of her left hand supporting her head as she looked to the left, Ingrid asked.

"Are you talking about going to the dimensional crack?" Luan looked at Ingrid and saw her nod, and he said, "No, she is not so childish. She must understand that she was not able to go because we had to take a business trip. If you're worried, call and talk to her."

"I think I will call her," Ingrid said, sitting on the bed, and crawled over to the shelf where her cell phone was.

"Why the late call, Ingrid?" Catharina answered on the first call.

"Yes, I was wondering how you are doing, if you were upset?" Ingrid asked.

"Haha! You worry too much, Ingrid. I'm fine, really. I understand that you and my brother have work to do. In fact, we can always go another day." Catharina's voice resonated with laughter.

Hearing this, Ingrid felt more relaxed and said, "I'm glad to hear that. I'm hanging up now, good night."

"Yes, good night, and enjoy the nighttime festivities, if you know what I mean~" Catharina laughed and hung up, without giving Ingrid a chance to speak.

Ingrid's face became red with embarrassment because she came to think of what Catharina said, however, she soon returned to normal, since she remembered that she was still menstruating. Although she thought that if Luan asked, she was willing to help him as she did the last time...

Ingrid shook her head, getting rid of her impure thoughts, and went back to lie next to Luan. Looking at the face of the exceptionally handsome Luan and his serious expression while working, she felt very attracted.

"Am I disturbing your sleep? Do you want me to stop what I'm doing?" Luan noticed Ingrid's intense look and asked, thinking she wanted to sleep.

"No, I was just admiring you," Ingrid said with a closed-eyed smile showing her perfectly aligned white teeth.

"Oh, well, feel free to look as much as you want." Luan laughed heartily and continued to work on what he was doing.
