Sarah’s POV

"What is he doing in this place?" I stared in surprise for a moment as the door swung open without anyone knocking on it before, revealing the figure I least wanted to see walk into my room with a disgusting expression on his face.

Alex walked over while throwing a smile at me. I didn't understand how her brain worked because she didn't seem to feel any guilt at all by showing her fine self in front of me.

"Hi, honey. How are you?" I gasped in horror as I heard his soft and sweet tone of voice towards me, and how could he ignore my fierce gaze that followed him every move as if it was not a nuisance to him?

He came closer to look around me, fixing what he didn't need to fix because I didn't even need it. Then he looked back at me with a smile on his face. "I heard you were going to be discharged from the hospital today, so I brought this for you." He held out her hand, handing me a bouquet of roses. "I brought you your favorite flowers. Congratulations on finally being dis

    Sarah’s POVI glanced at the back of Ethan's hand pressed against the car door frame as I tried to get in and sit down inside. The small detail he noticed made me watch him closely and feel amazed at his attitude.My instincts then wondered, and I unconsciously compared Ethan and Alex, who were completely opposite. Ethan might look indifferent and uncaring, but he was watching me and ensuring I didn't get hurt while being with him, and he was entirely under his observation.When I was with Alex, I was sure he didn't care. He walked by himself without paying attention to me, and he even left me behind a few times and didn't realize it because I was left far behind by him. It was frustrating as I recalled one by one my bad memories with him. I didn't want to remember it. It just came to me, asking me to be fully aware."What are you thinking about?" Ethan's heavy-sounding voice made me spontaneously turn to him, who had somehow moved and was now sitting on the bench next to me.I stared

    Sarah’s POV"Come in and make this place your home." Lila opened the door to her apartment, then held the door open while holding the small bag I had brought because I didn't have much other than the medicines Ethan had prepared for me.I threw a smile at her, grateful that in the midst of the chaos, there was still Lila, who didn't turn away from me. She was still the same person as before. "Then I ask permission to stay for a while," I said back to her, and she snorted with a fierce glare at me."You can stay as long as you want. No need to think about it." I looked back, watching her, who was still there, and closed the door tightly. Then, later, she grabbed the slippers in the room, putting one on for me while he grabbed the other for her. "But what's with that guy?" she walked over first, glancing at me as she walked over and placed my bag on the table near the sofa.Lila's hand beckoned me to sit there first while her feet were still walking in the other direction. I then sat do

    Ethan's pov"Make sure that the wound is not exposed to water. It is better to avoid activities that require a lot of movement on your arm for a while because it is possible for the wound to rub or open." I wrapped the arm that I had just stitched up with waterproof tape to keep the wound moist.The man I was treating winced softly as I closed the wound. Then he clenched his hands into fists while squeezing the sheets of the patient bed he was sitting on. "So when should I come back, Doc?" I saw his face still grimacing, feeling the throbbing in his arm.I finished what I was doing, moving from there to my desk after having made sure to give her an explanation. "You can come back after seven days. We'll see what the wound looks like." I prescribed the only medicine he needed. Then he tore off the paper and handed it over. "Here, take the medicine for the pain and apply an antibiotic to the wound. That should make a difference after 24 hours."The man took the paper from my hand as he

    Ethan's pov"It's good if I visit her." Weighing between going home or going to see her, I ended up deciding to see her after work.Before that, I made sure to check with the nurse working under me first that there were no more patients that I needed to take care of, and she agreed to that. So, I drove my vehicle out of the hospital grounds, traveling at an average speed because I didn't want to rush. Even though I wanted to see her, I was busy organizing a situation I could predict.I realized that the situation between me and Sarah was quite awkward. I couldn't say that Sarah was comfortable with me, but it didn't seem that she hated my existence either. Perhaps it was my cold demeanor, as well as the way I spoke, that made her seem uncomfortable and unable to get along with me.So I thought about what topics might be able to get him to keep talking and be more relaxed with me, other than talking about his health challenges or about our working relationship, which would only bring u

    Sa Sarah’s POV I, who had only stayed at Lila's house for a day, never thought I would move out of the house so soon. "Can we at least wait for Lila to return from work first?" I turned to her, who had now moved from opening the car door for me and sitting on the seat later. He glanced back at me. "Didn't I call her earlier, and she agreed? I told her over the phone, and she understood the situation. The sooner, the better, your wounds also need to be treated seriously, so it's just as well." He responded with his focus on the road now that the car was moving. I sighed softly, also turning my gaze towards the front. Many things were going on in my head. Firstly, I still hadn't prepared myself to go and live with him, and secondly. I felt sorry for Lila. Lila had prepared a lot of things for my moving into her apartment, but I left her after a day of staying there. I felt terrible that her preparations seemed like a waste, even though I was the one who asked to be able to stay with

    Sarah’s POV"No kidding!" I pushed him away from me, then removed my hand from his grasp.I caught a glimpse of Ethan smiling, looking at me casually like he was playing a prank on a child. I don't know much about her, but I'm slowly getting to know her. He's not as cold as she looks, and she's not as stiff as he seems.I let out my breath next to him. "We don't have time for jokes." Suddenly, I was the one who became rigid in this, just because I didn't want him to realize the strangeness I felt inside me every time he came close. "There are many things we need to do and think about seriously." at least for now, I didn't want to think about anything.I'm so afraid that I'll misperceive her attitude, and it will make me act rashly. Right now, my relationship with him was an alliance with a common goal, so until that goal was achieved, I didn't want anything else to happen and disrupt our goal.Even if I realized something was growing inside me towards him, I had to be careful and hide

    Sarah’s POV"Where did I put it, huh?" I turned my head right and left, moving quickly to find the medicine I still had to carry. "Last time I put it here, or did I leave it on the kitchen table?"I couldn't remember last night. I did manage to take my medicine out and take it there, but it felt like I had already taken it with me.I stayed silent for a while, trying to review my memory to find it. "If I left it on the kitchen table, Ethan would've returned it to me." Given that she hadn't come, then that meant I had put them away, but I didn't know where."Oh my!" I exclaimed with a sigh and then sat limply on the bottom edge of the bed while my hands rifled through the bag I had placed on the bed. "How could I forget?" I couldn't believe I had put it in the bag since last night.After eating dinner and drinking downstairs, I returned the medicine to the room and immediately put it in the bag so I wouldn't forget to bring it. I couldn't believe I remembered that I still had to carry

    Sarah’s POV"Thank you then." I shook the hand of a company representative from another country tightly while putting a smile on my face. "I will prepare the complete documents immediately and send them to you."I marked him favorable reaction from how she shook my hand as we shook hands and then the smile on her face that showed satisfaction. "Well, I'll look forward to our cooperation later if you excuse me." He let go of my hand and then placed his hand back in a polite position.I nodded my head politely to him. I maintained my manners in front of him as much as possible, including the small gestures my body made in front of him. "Sure, be careful on the road. As soon as everything is done, I will contact you."The man nodded, straightening his suit before going out with the others, while I still maintained my position until he crossed the threshold of the room where we met.I straightened my body, took a deep breath, and released it with relief. "It all worked out well in the end

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

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

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.

"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.”

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.

    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
