As the days passed, Becky spent every waking moment by Freen's side, watching her sleep, holding her hand, and whispering words of encouragement. Freen's progress was slow, but Becky remained steadfast, her love and devotion never wavering.

One day, as Freen stirred from her slumber, Becky's heart skipped a beat. "Freen, my love, you're awake," she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.

Freen's eyes fluttered open, her gaze locking onto Becky's. "Becky?" she whispered, her voice weak but recognizable.

Becky's tears of joy fell onto Freen's hand. "I'm here, my love. I'm right here," she replied, her voice choked with emotion.

Freen's eyes filled with tears as she struggled to speak. "I'm...I'm so sorry, Becky. I am so scared..."

Becky's grip on Freen's hand tightened. "You have nothing to apologize for, my love. You're safe now. You're with me."

As Freen's eyes drifted closed, Becky leaned forward, her lips brushing against Freen's forehead. "I'll always be here for you, Freen. Always."

Freen's eyes flickered open again, her gaze locking onto Becky's. "Seng?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Becky's expression turned solemn. "Seng is...gone, Freen. He's not here right now."

Freen's eyes filled with tears, her body trembling. "No...no, please. I need him. I need him, Becky."

Becky's heart ached, seeing the desperation in Freen's eyes. She knew that Freen was still struggling with the trauma of the scandal, and the loss of Seng was only making it worse.

"Freen, my love, I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you. But Seng...he's not good for you right now. He's not good for either of us," Becky said, trying to reason with her.

But Freen's eyes only filled with more tears, her body shaking with sobs. "No...no, Becky. You don't understand. I love him. I need him."

Becky's grip on Freen's hand tightened, her heart heavy with sorrow. She knew that Freen was still caught in the web of her feelings for Seng, and it was going to take time to untangle her from it. But she was determined to be patient, to be there for Freen no matter what.

"I understand, Freen. I understand that you love him. But sometimes, love isn't enough. Sometimes, we need to let go of the things that are hurting us the most," Becky said, her voice soft and gentle.

Freen's gaze lingered on Becky's, her eyes searching for a glimmer of hope. And then, slowly, she nodded. "You're right, Becky. You're always right," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Becky's heart swelled with love and relief. "I'm here for you, Freen. I'll always be here for you," she promised, her voice filled with conviction.

As the days turned into weeks, Freen slowly began to heal. Becky was by her side every step of the way, encouraging her, supporting her, and loving her unconditionally.

And then, one day, Freen finally smiled. It was a small smile, a tentative smile, but it was a smile nonetheless. Becky's heart soared with joy, knowing that Freen was finally on the path to recovery.

"I'm proud of you, Freen," Becky whispered, her voice filled with emotion. "You're strong, you're brave, and you're loved."

Freen's smile grew wider, her eyes shining with tears. "I love you, Becky," she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude.

Becky's arms wrapped around Freen, holding her close. "I love you too, Freen. Always and forever."

As Freen recovered, she sat down with Saint and Becky to discuss her next steps.

They decided that a public apology was necessary to address the scandal and clear her name.

Freen recorded a video apology, as advised by Saint and her lawyers.

In the video, Freen sincerely apologized for her actions, acknowledging that she had made a mistake and taken responsibility for it. She also announced that she would be filing a complaint against the videographer who had secretly recorded her.

With the apology and complaint, Freen felt a weight lift off her shoulders. She realized that she couldn't change the past, but she could learn from her mistakes and move forward.

As for Seng, he had stopped contacting her altogether, and Freen knew that their relationship was over.

It was a silent breakup, but she was relieved to be free from the toxic dynamic they had shared.

With a newfound sense of determination, Freen decided to continue her work, using her platform to spread positivity and inspire others.

She knew that she still had a long way to go, but she was ready to face the challenges ahead, knowing that Becky and Saint would be by her side every step of the way.
