Karina had been transferred to the general ward, she had regained her consciousness. Ethan was beside her all the time.
Karina :"Ethan am I still alive ?"
Ethan :"Yes, you're alright now, don't talk too much."
Karina :"Please stay beside me always, don't live me."
Ethan :"OK, don't worry I won't leave you alone."
Karina's mom :"Karina my child, how are you ?"
Karina :"I'm OK mom."
Karina's mom :"Don't do such a foolish thing again ! Don't worry about your dad, I'll defend you !"
Adrian :"How are you Karina ? I'm sorry dear, I won't force you again. You can decide everything on your own from now on."
Karina :"Really dad ?" she smiled happily.
Adrian :"You talk to your mom, I borrow Ethan for a while."
Karina nod :"Mmm..." she then talked to Marco and Franky.
Marco and Franky :"How are you Karina ?"
Karina :"I'm OK, thank you for coming here."
Marco :"You're just like my little sister to me of course I worried about you !"
Adrian took Ethan outside the room.
Adrian :"Ethan, I'm sorry I've underestimated you. I was wrong all this time. You're the right person to protect my daughter."
Ethan :"I can understand you sir, as a parent you should protect your daughter. But please believe me I can protect your daughter well and my feeling for her is sincere."
Adrian :"Yes I believe you, from now on I trust Karina to you, take care for her well."
Ethan :"Yes sir, I promise you sir I will take care of her."
Adrian :"OK I'll come back first."
Ethan :"Yes sir."
They went back to Karina's ward. Adrian said good bye to her and took his wife home. Marco and Franky asked for leave too, since Franky had to work at the Bar. Now only the two of them there.
Karina :"What have you talked about with my dad ?"
Ethan :"He trusted his only daughter to me." he smiled
Karina surprised and smiled :"Really ? You're not lying ?"
Ethan :"Yeah it's true ! You heard it yourself he said to you that you can decide everything on your own from now on."
Karina :"Yeah you're right."
Ethan :"Are you happy now ?"
Karina smiled :"Yes, it feels like a big burden had been lifted from my shoulder right now."
Ethan :"But, the price you had paid was very big ! It risk your own life ! Please promise me don't you ever do it again in your life !"
Karina :"Yes I promise you ! Can you kiss me ?"
Ethan kissed her forehead :"OK, have some sleep now."
Karina :"So when will you marry me ?"
Ethan :"My dear, can you give a change to man to do his own part to propose you ?"
Karina laughed :"OK, I'll be waiting for your proposal, but don't be too long !"
Ethan :"I know you love me, just wait until you recover and you should go back to your family after this, there will the time when we'll be together forever."
Karina :"Are we dating now ?"
Ethan smiled :"Yes we are." Karina smiled happily she could go to sleep peacefully that night.
The next day Franky and Marco visited her again, Ethan took Franky to go out of her room for a while to have some talk with her in private.
Ethan :"Franky, there will be karate tournament in the next six month, will you join it ? You were absent last year."
Franky :"Maybe I will join it, last year I was too busy."
Ethan :"Have you talked to Marco about your secret ?"
Franky :"Nope"
Ethan :"Then he'll know if you'll join the tournament ?"
Franky :"Maybe I'll talk to him someday."
Ethan :"You'd better tell him as soon as possible, cause I will get married to Karina in this short time, and you should think about what you'll wear on my wedding day ! Don't embarrassed me !
Franky :"Yeah I know."
Ethan :"OK. let's go back to Karina."
Unknown to them Marco was about to go to the bathroom when he heard about their conversation, he was wondering now "What secret is Franky has ? It's interesting !"
One day Marco was on the way to his office, but then he remembered he left something in his room and he got back to take it. When he came to his house Franky was taking a shower and she didn't know that Marco came back. When she came out from the bathroom only wearing her white bathrobe Marco just came out from his room, and they crossed path together. Franky got surprised, she tried to cover up her chest.
Franky :"What are you doing here ?"
Marco :"I picked up something I left."
When Marco saw her suddenly he got tempted to see her, he grabbed her body, pushed her to the wall then kissed her lips passionately. Franky tried to push his body cause she felt suffocated.
Marco stopped from kissing her :"I'm sorry, I was out of my mind for a while, seeing you like this suddenly tempting me to kiss you. I think I should go now."
Marco went back to his car, he sat on the car not turning on the engine for a while tried to figure out what had just happened "Why did I kiss him ? Am I crazy ? But he was very tempting ! And it was so sweet kissing her !" he curled up his lips "Ah forget it !"
He then went back to his office and tried to calm down his desire.
While Franky still got blank and couldn't believe with what had just happened "OMG it was my first kiss ! So that's the feeling of being kissed .... Does he know I'm a girl ? ..... I don't think so .... I'm so scared to tell him that I'm a girl ! He'll mad at me, he thought I deceived him.....Ah Just forget it !"
She changed her cloth and went to her school.
Ethan called his mom and told her about his plan to get married.
Ethan :"Mom, I'm going to get married soon, can you do me a favor ? I want you to come here to have a family meeting first."
Merry :"Oh I'll be glad too son, but your father can't go there."
Ethan :"It's OK mom, he can go here at my wedding. I need you first."
Merry :"OK I'm going there with xiao Wei and xiao Jun next Friday."
Ethan :"I will arrange for your stay here."
Merry :"No need to book a hotel, I'll just stay at your place. You need to save your money !"
Ethan :"OK, I'll pick you up at the train station next Friday."
That day Wendy called Franky.
Wendy :"Sis, we're going to go to the B city tomorrow. Mom will have family meeting with the in law, did you know it ?"
Franky :"Yes I know it. Who'll pick you up ?"
Wendy :"Brother Ethan. Sis, can I stay at your place ? Bro place is small I heard and I want to know your landlord."
Franky :"Sure, I'll pick you up together with brother tomorrow."
The next day Franky and Ethan had been waiting for a while at the train station.
Wendy :"Sister I miss you !"
Franky :"Hi I miss you too !" they hugging each other "Hi mom I miss you too ! she hugged her mom and Merry laughed :"You are a big girl now ! How come you still act like a child like this ?"
Ethan took her luggage to his car then they had some lunch together before they go to Ethan's apartment.
Wendy :"Brother, I'll stay at sister's place tonight."
Ethan :"OK, don't be naughty !"
Wendy laughed :"I won't, I only want to be together with sister, I missed her sooo much."
Ethan dropped the two of them at Marco's house first before he went to his apartment.
Franky :"Bye xiao Jun, see you tomorrow you all !"
