In the evening, Lisa had to return to her own home to take care of her husband and child. At this time, Ethan was in his room reading a book when Lisa came and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Thomas, it's Lisa. I have something to tell you."

"Please come in," Ethan said, his eyes still fixed on the book in his hand.

With permission granted, Lisa entered the room.

"What's the matter?" Ethan asked calmly, but in his heart, he was somewhat concerned about Ula. "How is that girl doing?"

"She still hasn't regained consciousness," Lisa explained with worry. "Her fever hasn't subsided despite the medication I gave her. I think we should take her to the hospital."

Hearing Lisa's words, Ethan clicked his tongue in annoyance. Ula's condition was so bad that she needed to be hospitalized. If Liam found out about this, Ethan was sure to be scolded for ignoring Liam's warning. Plus, if it came to the judge's attention, Ethan was certain he would face a big problem.

Seeing that Ethan remained sile

    "I won't allow you to leave here," Ethan asserted firmly."It's quite puzzling." Ula sternly expressed her curiosity. "From the beginning, it was you who didn't allow me to enter this house. Now you won't let me leave. What do you want, exactly?"In response to Ula's rightful curiosity, Ethan remained silent for a moment and then said, "In short, you must stay here, and you're not allowed to go anywhere.""You have no right to command or restrain me," Ula affirmed, asserting her democratic rights. "You certainly have no right to detain me. Who do you think you are? Don't behave so arrogantly and grivoisly. It's disgusting."Ignoring Ula's defiant attitude and without providing a clear, reasonable explanation to persuade her, Ethan resorted to threats."Listen carefully; if you dare to disobey my orders, you and your family will undoubtedly suffer dire consequences. Be wise and obedient." Ethan's tone sounded chilling, and his demeanor, especially his gaze when looking at Ula, was trul

Ula had to endure physical exhaustion and fatigue to fulfill all the chores as per Ethan's orders. Ethan always found ways to make Ula work and didn't allow her to rest.However, despite Ethan's attempts to torment and exploit Ula's labor for his own satisfaction, the results he received didn't satisfy him. Ula proved to be someone who was not easily subdued or willing to humble herself and beg.With her quick wit, finesse, and cleverness, Ula always completed her tasks excellently and efficiently. Ethan had assumed that Mila (Ula) was a frivolous, extravagant girl who enjoyed a life of luxury and didn't know how to do anything. Yet, the quality of Ula's work consistently surprised Ethan.Today marked the seventh day that Ula had been living with Ethan, and the seventh day she had to wake up early, working tirelessly day and night according to Ethan's d

    The next day, despite Ethan's absence, Ula continued to work diligently as usual. The absence of Ethan at home made Ula feel comfortable and very free. However, the peaceful feeling did not last long.In the evening, Ethan suddenly appeared. Just as Ula was finishing preparing dinner, she saw Ethan open the door and enter the house. Ethan was not only alone but also brought a young girl. At first glance, Ula was sure that the girl Ethan brought home was not a kind person. Before Ula could even ask Ethan anything, he calmly declared,"This is Ami. Starting today, she will be living here. You must listen to her every command and serve her well. If she is not satisfied, you will face appropriate punishment."Ula was momentarily surprised by the news, and then she had to exclaim in her mind. What on earth is this? Ethan brings his mistress home and forces his wife to serve both of them. This is beyond Ula's imagination. She never expected Ethan to be so despicable and lowly. Putting herse

    Three days have passed since Ami came to Ethan's house. Everything has been going well for Ula; she always manages to overcome the challenges and annoying games of Ami and Ethan. It is now dinner time. As usual, after finishing setting the dishes on the table, Ula proactively leaves the kitchen so that Ethan and Ami can have some privacy and also to find some fresh air for herself. However, today, Ethan suddenly doesn't allow Ula to leave the kitchen. "You stay there; don't go anywhere." Ethan orders sternly. Before Ula can open her mouth to inquire about Ethan's suspicious motive, Ami arrogantly interrupts: "That's right, you just stand there and wait for us to finish eating, and you can have whatever is left." Ula frowns in annoyance upon hearing Ami's careless words. Seeing that, Ami pretends to continue: "It's because I care about you that I said that. Don't skip meals all the time; it's not good for your health." The more Ami speaks, the more Ula wants to curse at her. Who

    "What are you doing?" Ula turned to Ami, raising her voice sharply. "Stop it right now." Ignoring Ula's words, Ami continued to defiantly spray water at Ula. While spraying, Ami laughed mockingly, as if taunting Ula. In a natural reaction, Ula raised her hands to shield her face from the heavy stream of water that could harm sensitive areas of her body. "Can't you hear me, Ami? Turn off that water tap." Ula repeated it impatiently. While making her request, Ula also tried to prevent Ami's actions. Finally, with her determination, Ula managed to snatch the water hose from Ami's hand. Ula tossed the hose aside and glared at Ami. "Are you crazy?" Ula grumbled. "Or just incredibly bored?" "The sun is scorching hot; I'm helping you cool off," Ami replied, showing no fear of Ula and provocatively challenging her. "You don't need to thank me. I'm just being nice." Ami's arrogant smile was truly irritating. "How does it feel—nice and cool? Oh dear, your clothes are all wet now. I'm sorry

    Ami stared intently at Ula, wanting to advance, grab her hair, and punch her in the face to release her anger, but Ami was afraid that Ethan might suddenly appear and witness such a scene, leading to a negative impression of herself. However, later on, Ami truly couldn't endure the idea of letting Ula have her freedom and comfort. Therefore, Ami willingly let her inner demon of anger calmly provoke and incite. Ami came up with another idea and quickly put it into action. Ami saw Ula pouring hot water into a coffee cup, so she walked over and pretended to make a suggestion."Is this coffee for Ethan, right? Let me make it for him.""No need to trouble you," Ula flatly refused. Her attitude towards Ami was cautious and wary."You've been working all day today. I allow you to rest early," Ami insisted, determined to compete with Ula for the task."I'll make the coffee and then go to sleep," Ula firmly asserted, giving Ami a side-eye. "It's best if you go to your room and don't disturb me

    Unable to bear the injustice and even more unable to let Ula gloat and be proud, Ami was determined to make a big deal out of it and force Ethan to make an important decision, which was to send Ula away."Ethan, look at what she did." Ami complained angrily, demanding justice from Ethan: "She dared to hit me in front of you. Clearly, she doesn't respect you, nor does she care about what you say."Seeing Ethan's silence, Ami persisted, continuing with lies and accusing Ula while also urging and manipulating Ethan's emotions."Just a while ago, when you weren't around, she attacked me and even made me burn. Ethan, I haven't done anything to her. It's because you've been kind and caring toward me that she harbors resentment and jealousy. Ethan, you must demand justice for me. Kick her out of here. People like her should not be kept around, or else one day she will betray and harm you. Ethan, listen to me, Ethan."Once again, before Ami could finish speaking, she had to stop as Ula grabbe

    Despite Ethan still being lost in thought, Ula continued with her confession. Ula feels that everything needs to be made clear to resolve the issue once and for all."I know why you treated me so despicably." Ula looked at Ethan, bitterness in her voice, and added, "Because I'm not Mila, right?" Ula's smile right now in Ethan's eyes seemed genuinely sad and wounded."I truly don't understand why Mila would agree to marry someone as despicable as you," Ula continued nonchalantly, "but I know that's not something I should be interested in learning about.""What are you talking about?" Unable to contain his emotions any longer, Ethan asked, bewildered by what he had just heard. Ethan's stunned expression seemed feigned in Ula's eyes, making her even more disdainful of him."Don't pretend to be innocent like that; you look utterly disgusting," Ula scolded, emphasizing the crux of the matter. "Because I'm not Mila, you treated me in the worst possible way. I know and understand it all, so

    Afterward, Ethan helped Ula stand up and led her back home. However, unexpectedly, something happened. A sudden rain shower drenched them quickly. Under the darkening evening sky and raindrops falling like pearls from the heavens, Ethan carried Ula step by step through the dense forest path. Their hearts beat strongly, resonating with the serene atmosphere of the forest. Each step was a beat, an effort traded for worries and difficulties. Outside, the rain sparkled like the world's sorrow, but within Ethan's arms, he carried belief, hope, and warmth for Ula. Unable to reach home due to the challenging path, they stumbled upon a wooden house in the middle of the forest. The house was often used by nature lovers for a tranquil retreat. Sheltered beneath the roof, the door opened into a cozy space. With the nightfall behind the door and gentle light streaming into the room, in the painting of silence, Ethan gently placed her on the wide bed. "Take off your wet clothes, Ula, or you'll c

    "Isn't it that you need Ethan's money? I can give it to you. Would that be satisfactory?" Ula asks with a sarcastic and mocking tone."It's my parents who want it, not me. I just want to live with Ethan. I love Ethan." Anne continues to pretend, thinking that Ula is a weak person, and after her grandmother's death, Ula's mental state is unstable. Anne believes that she can exploit Ula's vulnerability to win. Unexpectedly, Ula surprises Anne by displaying a challenging attitude."What if I don't agree?""Then we won't easily forgive Ethan." The woman, considered Anne's mother, speaks up sharply. , "I will make both you and Ethan regret that decision. I will let the whole world know that Ethan is a despicable man who abandoned his own child. Ethan's career and reputation will be ruined."Realizing that arguing with criminals is unwise, as it only tires oneself and wastes time, Ula decides to stop. After all, she already understands what has been happening. What she needs to do is let Et

    "Ula, I'm really exhausted. Please, let me go," Mrs. Donna continued, her voice pleading. She knew it would be very difficult for Ula to accept her death, so Mrs. Donna wanted to implore Ula to grant her this request. As both Mrs. Donna and Ethan predicted, Ula shook her head frantically, adamantly refusing to accept the cruel and harsh reality."I don't want you to die; I can't live without you. Please don't abandon me," Ula pleaded desperately."Ula, everyone will eventually die," Mrs. Donna calmly reassured her. "I have lived long enough. It's time for me to go. I am leaving because I want to, because God loves me more, not because I'm afraid of burdening you.""But I... I haven't been able to repay your kindness; I haven't given you a life of full enjoyment. I..." Ula sobbed, blaming herself. "I'm truly useless.""Ula, no one wishes for what has happened, including death. Everything is arranged by God, and He knows what He's doing with each of us. Most importantly, I don't expect

    Quickly, as requested by Ethan, Ula underwent a thorough health examination by the doctor. The examination took longer than Ethan had imagined, involving many steps that left his mind in turmoil, anxiety enveloping his inner world. In the midst of tension and suspense, the sound of the door opening caught Ethan's attention, making him startle."How is she, doctor?" Ethan stood up from his chair anxiously, hastily asking as the doctor emerged from Ula's room."Based on the preliminary examination, the patient shows signs of physical exhaustion. The cause could be irregular eating habits or prolonged mental stress leading to a general decline in health." The doctor looked at the report in the file and briefed Ethan on Ula's condition.The result truly shocked Ethan. He hadn't thought that Ula had endured and faced so many difficulties. Suddenly, Ethan self-blamed. Over the past, he has been too indifferent, harboring unjustified anger towards Ula."May I know what happened to her?" The

    On the way, Ethan reflected. To avoid unwanted complications, and does not affect anyone. Ethan decided to change the meeting location with Jade to a coffee shop near her home. When Ethan arrived, Jade was already waiting. Without hesitation, Ethan quickly briefed Jade on the situation so she could grasp more details."Jade, the situation is really bad," Ethan warned. "This person is threatening to disclose my personal information if Ula doesn't pay a large sum of money to them. What should I do now?""Don't worry, Ethan," Jade reassured. "We'll deal with this issue. Let me see the phone number that the blackmailer used to contact Ula."Ethan handed his phone to Jade, and she quickly copied the number, sending a message to A, a professional hacker, to trace the owner of that number. While waiting for a response, they began planning a trap for the extortionist."Ethan, here's the plan. You'll agree to pay the amount the blackmailer demands, and on the way to the meeting point, we'll ha

    Now, Ethan understands everything Ula says, as well as her attitude and behavior. It all stems from Ula's lack of confidence and insecurity. Knowing this, Ethan feels angry, but not with her but with himself, because he lacks empathy to understand Ula's simple and unique personality. Ula is not like other girls seeking attention. She lives a secluded life and always thinks of others. This is what makes Ethan love her. However, Ethan did not expect that these personality traits of Ula would almost lead to the end of their relationship before it even started. Perhaps in the future, Ethan will need to pay more attention to Ula's emotions, not letting her bear negative thoughts alone. He may even need to try his best to help Ula eliminate those harmful thoughts and trust in their love."I won't be like that, Ula. Trust me," Ethan asserts, gently embracing her. He comforts and soothes her through emotional turmoil. "Please give me a chance to prove that.""But, Ethan, someday I might make

    "Ethan," Ula called, her voice suddenly becoming soft, contributing to soothing Ethan's heavy emotions but at the same time making him wary. Before Ula could continue, Ethan quickly interjected, fearing that Ula might choose to evade the conversation. Ethan was exhausted, so this time, he was determined to resolve this misunderstanding with Ula and not let the situation drag on any longer."Ula, what do you want to say? First, honestly answer my questions. Don't think about avoiding or delaying anymore. I'm really at my limit. Please don't torture me any longer."Faced with Ethan's urgent and persistent plea, Ula's initial intention failed. Moreover, Ula felt exhausted herself, realizing that prolonging this dark, tedious, and distressing emotional state was not a wise choice. Ula was not only tormenting Ethan but also herself. Therefore, Ula had no choice but to comply with Ethan's wishes and confront the issue between them. Taking a deep breath, Ula slowly expressed her feelings to

    Ethan walked quickly into the hospital, and luck smiled on him when he immediately spotted Ula walking ahead. In fact, Ula had just arrived a little earlier than Ethan, as she had chosen to take the bus to save money, and the bus was slower than a car. This time, not wanting any randomness to be an obstacle, he approached her just before anything special happened."Ula," Ethan called as he stood in front of her, his breath heavy from the sprint and tension."Ethan, why are you here? What's going on?" Ula was momentarily flustered by Ethan's unexpected appearance, but she managed to stay calm. She couldn't believe the thoughts racing through her mind right now—Ethan had followed her to the hospital."You left your phone," Ethan explained, handing his phone to Ula. "I brought it for you."Looking down at the phone in Ethan's hand, she smiled with understanding and sincerity, saying, "Thank you; you've gone through trouble for me.""It's nothing.""Is there anything else?"

    Ula had walked a distance away from Ethan's house when she suddenly stopped. She had just remembered an important matter she hadn't taken care of yet, so she needed to turn back.On her way back, Ula's mobile phone vibrated unexpectedly. The young girl looked down at the screen, and a familiar name appeared. Hesitant for a moment, Ula decided to answer."Grandma, I'm listening." Her voice was filled with a calmness tinged with a hint of coldness."Ula, when are you coming here?" Mrs. Donna's voice was weak, conveying a sense of frailty to Ula. That indicated Mrs. Donna's health was deteriorating day by day, causing Ula to be increasingly worried and heartbroken."I'm getting a taxi. It'll be about fifteen minutes before I reach your place," Ula replied, trying to keep her voice from revealing worry and abnormality. She was concealing her lie with her actual plan to go to the hospital by bus. However, at the moment, she had no money on her, not even a dollar. Therefore, she needed to g
