Everyone in the beach saw Celine running like she was in a hurry.

Nathan could feel that something was definitely going on.

So he went towards her and met her half-way.

"What happened?" Nathan asked.

Except for Layla, Grandma Sana and Master Liu who had been looking after the still sleeping children, Sam, Angelina and Mei followed behind him, too.

Celine was gasping for air making everyone to be equally worried as well.

"Ha!"

When she almost regained her breathing pace to normal, she looked at everyone who was patiently waiting for her.

.

Seeing everyone looking at her with worried faces, she smiled and asked, "Oh, why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Why are you running? And where's Eunji?" Mei asked with a frown.

"Kaasan, I'm running because I felt like running. And Eunji-chan's still in the kitchen." Celine was telling a white lie.

Her main intention was to tell Nathan of what was happening to Eunji without making their parents to worry.

"Is that so?" Mei was a bit skeptical at first but Celine used her superb acting skills to make her mother to believe that everything's really fine.

But she was already sending signals to Nathan that Eunji was in trouble and needed his help.

"Yes, and seems like she misses my brother so I decided to call him for her. So I'm here!"

Finally, Nathan got the message and he nodded at her.

"Alright! Kaasan, I think my cute wife really misses me already so I'll go with Yuki." Nathan said trying to be calm as much as possible.

"Please look after my kids while I am away." Nathan said.

"Silly. You don't have to ask me because I will always look after them. They're my grandchildren." Mei said as a matter of fact.

"Haha. You're right, Kaasan."

"Go! Don't let your wife to wait longer. And I think Yuki should stay here and you go alone."

"That's a good idea, Kaasan!" Celine praises her mom's suggestion.

As much as she wanted to be there to comfort Eunji, she knew that it was best if she would only let Nathan to be alone with Eunji.

That way, Eunji would not hold back and open up to him easily.

She could feel that the topic was very sensitive for Eunji and Layla and she was in no position to be a busy buddy.

Nathan then took his phone and sent message to Derek and Darren to be in full alert.

Celine asked her mother to go ahead as she wanted to have a walk with them along the beach.

When Mei arrived at the tent, the others asked her of what happened. And she did tell them exactly how Celine explained to her. Thus, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that her mom was already back at the tent, Celine dragged the two in a distance and there, she started talking.

"What happened? I know something's going on, Yuki." Sam asked.

Celine sighed and looked at Angelina then asked, "Do you know Alora?"

"Of course. Alora-shi is Eunji's other assistant. Why? What happened to Alora?"

"Nothing happened. But Alora must have said something which caused Eunji-chan to be very angry and a little scary. The things they have been discussing must have been really important for her to act that way." Celine sighed because she still could not believe what had happened.

"I really wanted to comfort her but I'm afraid I could not calm her down. So I decided to call for Niichan's help. I know it's impossible but I still want to keep my life." She added.

Angelina knew what Celine meant when she said that Eunji was scary when being angry.

She had witnessed her on a killing spree before. Killing Karina's father and his father together with their men because she was extremely angry for using her to kill her father.

"I understand. Alora-shi must have reported something to her causing Eunji to react that way. Don't worry, Eunji was not always like that. In the span of two years that I was with her, she had only snapped twice or thrice. It was very rare." Angelina answered truthfully.

"It's fine. I think only Nathan could calm her right now. You did the right thing by not letting Auntie Mei know about this. Eunji would feel bad if she knew that everyone had become worried about her." Angelina commended.

"That's what I thought, too. Especially when I heard her talking about her sister. I didn't want Mom and especially Auntie Layla to worry and I know Eunji-chan would not want it either."

"That's good. The best thing for us to do now is to watch over the kids while we wait for them to come back." Sam suggested.

"Yes. We don't know when dangers would come knocking at our doors. Even the sea could be very unpredictable. It my looked calm and serene at first but it would turn violent seconds later." Angelina meaningfully said.

Meanwhile, back on Safe Haven, Nathan went to the kitchen first since the last thing he knew was that she's in the kitchen.

However, the kitchen was empty.

He called her name but no one answered.

"Eunji!"

"Wifey!"

His feet lead him to the their room where he had seen Eunji sobbing while operating her computer.

He heard her softly calling Alora which was very familiar to him.

Nathan immediately entered and hugged her tight to comfort her but she harshly pushed Nathan away making him to fall on the floor with his butt first.

Seeing that the situation was not simple, Nathan didn't surrender and this time, he gripped on her shoulder and rock her upper body to help her snap out of it.

And somehow, it helped to snap her back to reality.

"Hubby..." Eunji could only utter the first word as nothing but her tears and sob followed after that.

"Shh!" Nathan felt a pang in his chest watching Eunji in this state. She was like a lost child at the moment.

"It's okay." He said softly while wiping her gushing tears dry.

"No, it's not." She insisted in between her sob.

"I have to save Ana! I have to fix Alora!" Eunji said sadly.

"Okay. But first, you have to calm down!" Nathan said.

"How can I calm down?! My sister's life is in danger because of me! Alora's program was compromised because of me!" Eunji said emotionally.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But you won't be able to save them if you let your emotions get the best of you." Nathan emphasized softly.

"I know it's hard at the moment but try to take a deep breath and meditate." He added while continuing to wipe her tears off.

And so, Eunji did. She listened to him.

After a little while, she had finally calmed down and regained her composure. Then she started tapping back on the keys of her laptop a lot calmer and composed this time.

She was so focused to the point that it looked like she was ignoring Nathan who was calmly and patiently sitting beside her.

Watching everything that she was doing on her laptop.

Nathan messaged Celine if she could bring the kids back to the Safe Haven so they could have their lunch at Safe Haven instead of staying by the beach.

After that, he slowly walked out of the room to prepare his wife's lunch in the kitchen.

He knew that Eunji needed space while she was doing her thing.

Luckily, Celine got what Nathan meant and the three girls together with Mei and Layla brought the kids up.

Since the kids were already awake and were getting fuzzy as they started looking for them, they had decided to go back ahead of everyone and take their lunch in the dinning area instead.

When Nathan entered the kitchen, Celine and Sam where making a serving of the four children's lunch.

"How is she?" Celine asked softly. Afraid that everyone outside could hear the conversation.

Nathan shook his head gently and softly said, "Don't let Kaasan and Eomma Layla to know."

"I got it. And don't worry about everyone looking after you and your wife. We'll make an alibi so they won't disturb you both."

"Thanks, Little Sis." Nathan really meant it when he said that.

"We're siblings after all. What more, triplets. We shared the same bond that those three have." She said proudly.

"Right." Nathan didn't deny her claims because that was the truth.

After the duo left, Nathan started preparing for his and her lunch.

Mei happened to enter the kitchen and asked, "What happened, Son? Where's Eunji?"

"She's in our room, Kassan. Don't worry. She's fine. She's just tired." He replied showing a smile which anyone could easily misinterpret.

"I see. Then...don't tire her so much. Let her join us during dinner, too." She playfully said.

"Alright, Kaasan." Nathan didn't say anything to refute what Mei had said.

Mei walked out of the kitchen leaving Nathan alone.

When he was done cooking for him and his wife, Nathan then put them on a plate and placed it on a tray.

He had also prepared a cup of ice cream for Eunji to comfort her.

Nathan went back to their room carrying a tray of food and two glasses of water.

He frowned when he saw Eunji's forehead being covered with huge beads of sweats.

Nathan immediately took a towel and wiped them off.

He frowned when Eunji was still on his big shirt with her probably damp bikini under it.

He was no different either. He was still in his beach trunks and top.

Nathan decided to go into the closet and took a clean shirt of his.

"Raise your arms up first Wifey." Nathan said and Eunji looked at her with a frown. Almost annoyed because he was disturbing her.

"It will be quick."

Nathan knew that what she was doing now was very very important. However her health was also his topmost priority.

And everything that she would be doing would be pointless if she would get sick.

Eunji didn't resist this time and raised her hands straight upwards.

Nathan then took off his shirt in one go. Then Nathan hurriedly took off her bikini piece next.

"What are you doing?" Eunju frowned.

"I'm helping you changed your clothes. You're wearing a damp bikini underneath while the AC was in full blown so I'm afraid you'll get sick."

Nathan finished removing her bikinis as long as he finished speaking.

Then he slipped his clean shirt back in her body without any underwear underneath.

"I'll help you change completely when you're done. For now, that would do." Nathan said as he grabbed the AC remote and adjusted the temperature inside the room.

When he was done, he then took the bowl of ice cream he prepared and placed it inside the bar fridge to prevent it from melting.

Then, Nathan started feeding Eunji with food.

"I'm not hungry." Eunji said with all of her attention on her laptop screen.

"Yes, you're hungry. Open your mouth and don't be stubborn. You can do your thing. Let me do my thing in filling up your stomach." Nathan persuaded sweetly.

Eunji immediately felt guilty seeing her husband doing his very best to accommodate her and to lighten her mood. Yet here she was, being grumpy and overly emotional.

So she had decided to open her mouth and let Nathan to feed her.
