Magnus and Selena gaze into each other's eyes. Selena could not move and is speechless. While Magnus is staring at her and down into her lips. Magnus is slowly bringing his face closer to Selena. Their lips are about to meet when the door opens. Magnus immediately stands up while pretending to help Selena with her blanket. He looks at someone who enters the room.

"Oh, it is you, doctor. Is there something wrong?". Magnus calmly asks without a hint of embarrassment.

The doctor replies with a smile, "No. Everything is fine and your grandmother is surprisingly recovered. You can take her home today." Magnus' face is filled with relief. "That is good news. Thank you, doctor."

As Magnus turns around to look at Selena, Selena is already at the right side of the bed, talking with now awake Miss Luna. Magnus approaches the left side of the bed and asks his grandmother, "How are you feeling, Nana?"

Miss Luna smiles, "I am feeling okay. Can we go home? I will be really sick if I stay longer here."

Magnus and Selena laugh. Magnus happily says, "Yes, Nana. We can go home. Your doctor has already discharged you." Miss Luna sighs of relief, "I am glad to hear that."

Magnus is pushing the wheelchair where his grandmother is sitting while Selena is carrying a big bag with Miss Luna's things. Miss Luna is uncomfortable being in a wheelchair so she complains, "Magnus, I can perfectly walk on my own. Why insist on putting me in a wheelchair?".

Selena is the one who replied, "You just recovered, Nana. Do not worry, this will be until we reach the parking lot. You will not be in the wheelchair in the mansion.". Miss Luna sighs and agrees, "Alright.".

They arrive at the parking lot and go in the car. During the ride, Miss Luna starts a conversation. "I totally forgot. Magnus, you should know that girlfriend of yours is a psychopath. She was the one who attacks Selena. If I am not this old, I have scratched her face.".

"I am really sorry, Nana that this happens to the both of you.". Magnus looks at Selena but Selena is looking out the window. He continues to speak, "I promise this will not happen again. I will not let her hurt both of you.". He is filling with anger again. He was busy taking care of his grandmother, he forgot Alvira. "You better not show yourself in front of me again and to my family, Alvira. Or you will regret it.", Magnus thought. Then suddenly he receives a text. As he saw who it came from, he immediately deletes the message and blocks the number. Magnus can no longer care about Alvira. "What we have is like ashes. It fades as the wind came to take it.".

An hour later, they arrive at the mansion. Magnus supports his grandmother walk into her bedroom, while Selena follows behind. Magnus then lays his grandmother on the bed. "Here you go, Nana. Just rest here.". But his grandmother protests, "Rest? It is daylight and I have already been resting in the hospital. I want to cook.".

Miss Luna is about to stand up when Selena stops her. "Nana, please listen to us. It will be just today. We just want to make sure that you are fully recovered.". Miss Luna sees she cannot force Magnus and Selena so she has no choice, "Okay, fine.".

Magnus and Selena leave the room. Miss Luna looking at them, smiling. "These two, fussing over nothing. I know that I am fully recovered, I can feel it.". But she still drifts off to sleep.

Magnus and Selena proceed to their bedroom to sleep. Selena's eyes widen as soon as she enters the bedroom. Everything has changed. What makes her confused is the bed that has two pillows in it and the corner of the room where Magnus sleeps has no longer the long couch. She looks at Magnus, "The couch is gone. Where would you sleep?". Magnus smirks, "In the bed, of course.".

"But...". Before Selena could finish talking, Magnus immediately goes to the bathroom.

Night came and SelemaSelena could not sleep, knowing Magnus is sharing a bed with her. She could position sideways and would not dare to turn around. Selena listens, "It looks like he is already asleep.", she mutters to herself. She sighs and positions her body straight. She is now looking at the ceiling. Selena is thinking about the man next to her. "I still cannot believe he is my husband.".
