Diana pov"How about this one, Sarah?" I immediately turned my head when I heard the name mentioned and saw an unfortunate sight near me.I stared at her intently, from a distance I noticed that the woman seemed happy with her life. She seemed to be enjoying everything she got after my son's death, that woman she didn't look sad and lost.In the past, she said she loved my son, but what happened? What happened was the opposite. She said that she loved him, yet she was the one who killed my son. Alex he left because of that woman. He died and left me, all his dreams, all the happiness he should have had because of that woman.I tried to control my trembling as I saw her on the other end, laughing and happy, without any sadness or guilt. "So she's pregnant?" I looked at her stomach, then smiled bitterly.If only she had done what I said and proved that she loved Alex the way I asked her to, nothing terrible would have happened to Alex. My son would still pursue his desire to succeed in
Diana's POV"Your hand has a bruise on the wrist, ma'am." The doctor's voice broke my reverie.After what had happened and I had collapsed at the foot of the stairs, they lifted me up and carried me to my room, laid me limply on the bed and told the doctor to come.But who cares about the bruises on my hands when my heart and feelings have been filled with many invisible wounds. Who cares about the soles of my feet that they bandaged? I no longer fully feel the pain in my body.I don't know why, but the bruises on my hands and the puncture wounds under the soles of my feet are strangely not felt. Faint, not as painful as usual.I stood still, staring blankly straight ahead. Nothing was visible to me but emptiness."What happened to her condition, Doc?" I faintly heard Emy ask.The doctor beside me took a deep breath. "His injuries are not severe, but he has a serious condition." She took out his report again, visible from the corner of my eye.A few days ago, he came to check on me. Y
Ethan's POV "Are you sure you want to cook for me?" I asked her, observing her face closely, now so near mine, within my line of sight.I noticed many changes in her during her pregnancy. Her weight drastically decreased at first, then went up again. Some parts of her body had swollen—Sarah was going through a lot. It’s not easy for her to deal with these transformations. Every time she looked in the mirror, I was sure it must have been hard for her.It was impossible not to notice. She had taken great care of her body before pregnancy, and now she was undergoing changes that could easily shake her confidence. Yet, she never showed it to me. She kept up her strong front.To me, it didn’t matter. Her weight gain, her swollen body parts, or how she no longer matched society’s beauty standards—I didn’t care about any of that. No matter what happened to her, she still captivated me. Her face remained beautiful, her smile still dazzling, her eyes as mesmerizing as ever, and her body warm
Ethan's POVSeeing her unconscious like this, my panic only grew. I hurriedly carried her out of there and rushed to the car, heading straight to the hospital."Sarah, wake up. Please, Sarah," I called out her name with desperate hope, praying that she'd hear me and open her eyes.But Sarah gave no response—no slight movement to indicate she was okay. Not a single groan escaped her lips. Her eyes remained closed, her mouth silent. There was no change from her earlier condition when she fell into my arms, and we tumbled to the ground."Please, someone help her! My wife... she lost consciousness after the fall," I pleaded to a nurse who approached us.They gave me a brief glance before focusing on Sarah's condition. Quickly, they placed her on a gurney and wheeled her into the emergency room. They began conducting rapid checks to diagnose her condition.Even though I’m a doctor, seeing her so helpless rendered me useless. It felt as if all my medical knowledge had disappeared. This time
Ethan's POV“Sir, you should really control yourself.” Luke stepped back, observing his surroundings before turning his worried gaze back to me. “We’re in a hospital right now, it would be best if you stay calm.”It was the umpteenth time someone had asked me to calm down in this place. First Wilson, then Smith, and now Luke, all telling me the same thing. They all wanted me to stay composed.I was close—close to calming down—but the moment I heard what had happened, rage boiled up inside me again, my chest burning with anger. The urge to confront her, to do to her what she did to Sarah, was overwhelming. Diana was genuinely insane. What she had done put Sarah’s life at serious risk.This wasn’t an accident. No, it couldn't have been. She must have planned it. Diana did this to get revenge for Alex’s death that day. But if she wanted revenge, the target should have been me, not Sarah. How could she go after Sarah, who wasn’t even a threat?It wasn’t Sarah who ruined her life. It was h
Sarah's POV - Chapter 139“Why are we meeting Diana, Sarah?” Ethan groaned, his hands resting in his lap. Despite my efforts to convince him to come, he sat stubbornly, refusing to start the car.Ethan gave me a blank look, one filled with confusion. After everything that had happened, he couldn’t understand why I’d want to see Diana. He despised her, hated what she had done to us, and had no desire to face her again. But I couldn’t stop thinking about her situation. Not to justify her actions, but Diana was mentally shattered by Alex’s death.I knew how much Diana loved her son, even though she was sometimes harsh with him. He was her world, and his death must have broken her in unimaginable ways. She had lost control, overcome by grief and anger, and I feared she wanted revenge for Alex’s death.“I don’t excuse what she did to us, Ethan, but considering her state of mind, we should check on her. She’s your only family, and maybe, just maybe, you two can repair things,” I said, gentl
Sarah's POV“It’s raining outside, do you want to watch something?” Ethan entered the room carrying a tray of snacks.I glanced at the tray and saw its contents. For a moment, I felt disappointed because the snacks I had hoped for were savory chips with a bit of spice. Still, instead, he brought me an assortment of berries, other fruit slices, and smoothies. He really has no tolerance for what I want to eat.But he had a point; I have not been good at controlling my cravings lately. If I gave in, I would eat anything that looked tempting. Thankfully, Ethan is pretty strict about it, and he brings me back to my senses. After all, this is for Kenari’s sake. He shouldn’t be eating unhealthy food from my stomach.I needed to resist. “Sure, is there something you’d like to watch?” I grabbed the remote from the table and turned on the TV, which was nearly twice as wide as the door to the room.Ethan placed the wooden tray on the bed, then sat and made himself comfortable beside me. “Just br
Sarah's POV“I’ll introduce you to him once he’s born,” I gently touched her round cheek. I felt a warmth of joy inside.The little girl was genuinely adorable. Her round hazel eyes, small and full red lips, and tiny face with chubby cheeks even softer than a squishy toy made her irresistibly cute. Not only was she charming, but she also had a missing front tooth that added even more to her appeal.Oh my gosh, I couldn’t help but fall in love with her. Her sweet, captivating charm ultimately drew me in.She extended her tiny hand to me, her chubby fingers clenched, but her pinky finger stood straight up. “Do you promise?”Her question made me smile again. “Yes, I promise.” I linked my pinky finger with hers and pulled her closer. “You haven’t told me your name yet.”“Oh, right! I forgot.” She slapped her forehead a little too hard, which startled me, and I quickly grabbed her head, afraid she might tumble backward. “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine,” she said, extending her arms again,
Sarah's POV“What do you think of the dress?” I twirled before Lira, who sat casually in her chair, nibbling on something.Lira’s eyes carefully assessed me from head to toe with a serious expression. Then, she motioned with her hand for me to turn around and show the other side. Only after doing so she nodded approvingly. “You look perfect,” she praised me with a satisfied smile.She got up from her seat and walked over to me, her hands gently adjusting a few strands of my hair that were out of place, making me look slightly untidy.“There’s no one more beautiful than you,” she effortlessly complimented me again.I chuckled softly at her words. Then, I turned to face the mirror, seeing myself wrapped in a white mermaid-style satin gown that beautifully accentuated my figure.The dress looked stunning with a long skirt and an elegantly open top. I truly loved it, but I couldn’t help feeling a little self-conscious. “But don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” I asked.From behind me, Ly
Ethan's POV After finishing our meal together, Sarah once again disappeared from sight. I’m sure she’s busy with Edmund now. That little boy has stolen his mother from me. No matter what or where Edmund is her priority, I feel my position has been shifted."Sir, would you like me to prepare some tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head, intending to return to work for a while, but I changed my mind this time. "No need. Have you seen where Sarah is?""Miss Sarah is in Master Edmund's room, sir. She's putting him to sleep," Emy replied promptly.I figured she'd be there. I remember telling her that Edmund should get used to sleeping in his room. After all, he's old enough. But Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until he fell asleep.I then moved toward Edmund's room, right next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah as soon as I entered.I hugged her tightly from behind while gazing at our sleeping son. I rested my chin between Sarah’s shoulder and neck and kissed her s
Ethan povAs soon as they finished eating together, Sarah did not show herself again, to the point that I am sure she must also be busy with Edmund this time. The little boy stole his mother from me, so now, whatever it is and wherever it is, Edmund is her priority, and my position has shifted."Master want me to prepare tea?" Emy asked me.I shook my head. I had originally planned to go back to work for a while, but this time, I canceled my intention. "No need. Where did you see Sarah?""Miss Sarah is in Mr. Edmund's room, sir. she was putting him to sleep." Emy replied immediately.I thought she must be there. I remember telling her to get used to Edmund going to his own bedroom; after all, Edmund was old enough, but Sarah said she couldn't bear it and would stay with him until Edmund fell asleep.I then moved there, walking to the room next to mine. "Is he asleep?" I asked Sarah just as I entered Edmund's room.I walked up to her even though I hugged him from behind. Looking at our
Ethan povAfter Sarah went downstairs to the inn, she needed to stay until her condition completely recovered after giving birth. I was in the room with her still holding her hand and stroking her gently."Do I look ugly?" she suddenly asked about it.I moved my eyebrows up silently, smiling, and shook my head slowly, denying her words. "It's not at all that you always look beautiful in my eyes, yesterday, today, and whenever; it doesn't matter what happens."My eyes looked at her with a gentle glint, and then my hand moved slowly, caressing her hair. Sarah, who just a few hours ago faced the Biggest Thing in her life, looks very beautiful in my eyes right now. You could say she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. No woman could match her beauty; she was perfect for me."Does it feel so painful?" I looked at her with a fixed gaze and rubbed her cheeks slowly.The woman lying weakly on the bed shook her head slightly. She still looked helpless. "I'm not sure what it would be l
Ethan's POV"Sarah, what's going on? What happened?" I panicked and rushed into the bathroom after hearing her cry. I found Sarah bracing herself against the wall, visibly in pain, stretching her arms.I quickly turned off the faucet, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her. She clung to me, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. "I think I'm having contractions... I think it's time.""Time to give birth?" I looked at her, shocked.Even though we had prepared everything and eagerly anticipated this day, I still felt nervous when it finally arrived. I had researched what to do when Sarah went into labor, preparing myself as best as possible.But what you think and face are two very different things. My mind went utterly blank, overwhelmed with panic and fear. I repeatedly took deep breaths to calm myself as I helped Sarah get dressed."Okay, we’re heading to the hospital now. I’m taking you there." Once she was dressed, I lifted her and carried her downstairs, gently placing her in
Sarah's POVEthan immediately adjusted everything accordingly when I heard that we were having a boy. He called the decorators to prepare the room with a baby boy theme.Blue, white, and yellow dominated his chosen colors for the room's design. "Do you like it?" he glanced at me as I stood at the doorway.Meanwhile, Ethan was inside, moving around to arrange everything. He forbade me from entering, saying the smell of the paint was still too strong and could bother my senses. He was right. Even from a distance, I could still see the pungent paint fumes.I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I love it. I'm sure our little one will love it too. If he knew his dad prepared all of this for him, he’d be so happy."During my pregnancy, Ethan seemed happy, but his emotions during the first and second trimesters were quite complex. He was joyful, yet at the same time, he looked anxious, worried, and full of confusion. He expressed his concerns by forbidding me from doing many things and becoming overly
Sarah POV “Good morning, Miss Sarah. How are you today?” The doctor who regularly manages my pregnancy greeted me with her usual friendly demeanor.I smiled in response. “I’m good, Doctor,” I replied, pulling a chair across from her.The doctor began by reviewing my previous pregnancy reports. “Any complaints recently, Miss? How’s your pregnancy going?” she asked, briefly meeting my gaze before returning to the documents.Lately, there haven't been as many issues as the first and second trimesters. Both those stages were incredibly challenging. In the first trimester, I lost a lot of weight, which caused Ethan to panic.During the second trimester, though the severe nausea had subsided, my body still took a long time to adjust.But now, I could smile and answer, “No complaints, Doctor. Everything’s been fine with the pregnancy lately, though it’s getting a bit hard to move around.”The doctor smiled again. “That’s because the baby is growing healthily, and the weight has increased.”
Sarah POV "It seems we have to head back now," the devil beside me whispered softly, kissing my forehead after he finished his phone call. He had just received another call from Luke. I overheard a bit of it, and it sounded li ke something urgent at the office required Evan's presence. From what I know, they're signing a new project, and it might be the one that needs Ethan's direct attention. Well, to be fair, he's been on vacation for quite a while now. He took time off earlier to care for me after that incident with Diana's appearance. Before that, he also took an extended vacation when we went to an island, thinking I'd get bored staying home. Ethan's been spoiling me in many ways, but it's time for him to return to work. I gently stroked his face. "Yes, besides, we've been on vacation long enough. Have you contacted Elda to tell her not to follow us?" I suddenly remembered our personal chef, Elda, whose cooking made this trip even more delightful. She was never disappointed;
Sarah POV -“Do you not have a good relationship with James?” I turned to him as he opened the door for me.He glanced at me briefly. “Why do you ask?” He guided me inside carefully, still faithfully holding my hand and supporting my body.I shook my head lightly. “It’s nothing, I’m just curious. You two don’t seem to communicate well. Every time you start talking, it sounds like you're trying to punch and counter each other, then move on to the next attack.”I heard him chuckle softly. “Does it really sound like that?”I nodded. “Yes, it sounds like that and it looks like that. But strangely, your conversations go smoothly. You ask, and he answers, explains, and gives information. I thought he was really neglecting Grace.”I sighed, thinking it would have been the worst if that were true. But thankfully, it wasn’t, even though I had already misunderstood James. I thought he wasn’t a good father, but I didn’t know what he’d been through, what he’d done to raise his daughter alone and
