"Jacob!" Hayle shouted, her voice trembling as she tried to contain her emotions, "What is this? How did this happen?!"

The woman's face grew redder, her eyes blazing with fiery emotion. She glared at Jacob with a piercing stare, making him feel uneasy. Hayle had never been angry with him before, and now she seemed furious.

Jacob just stared back at Hayle, his face a picture of confusion. He didn't know why the test results hadn't been replaced by Juli's yet. His entire head felt itchy now. Ah, foolishness Why hadn't he checked it earlier?

"Jacob, about that?" Jacob hesitated, searching for the right words to explain the situation. He stood up from his seat, looking at Hayle with regret and confusion.

"Jacob!" Hayle exclaimed again, her mind racing. She tried to keep her emotions in check, knowing it wasn't good for her child, but the heat in her temples made her voice rise, "I need an explanation!"

Hayle's hand clenched, her eyes piercing Jacob. Jacob swallowed hard, his eyes fixed o

    "Ah Good, everything is fine. Your pregnancy is also fine. This might be because you're too emotional. So, control your emotions!" Jacob pressed the ultrasound machine on Hayle's lower abdomen, which still felt a bit crampy but not as severe as before. After he lay her down on the examination table, her condition improved significantly.Hayle took a deep breath and looked at what was on the monitor. She watched closely because she didn't fully trust this man anymore. Luckily, what Jacob said was true."But you need to do a lot of bed rest. I think your pregnancy is a bit weak." Jacob looked at her again. Although it wasn't a problem now, but the cramps in the lower abdomen during early pregnancy are a sign that something is not right. "So, what?" Jacob asked, putting down the ultrasound machine and looking at his friend's face, which was actually quite attractive. Hayle should be able to get another man instead of being stuck with Lucas."I don't know." Hayle exhaled and quickly turne

    13“Hah?!” Hayle opened her eyes, which immediately widened in shock. She quickly sat up and realized she was lying on a large bed in a room that was slightly ominous, yet in a brief glance, it seemed luxurious.Hayle immediately became alert. She scanned the room, finally realizing she was left alone in it. She slowly got down from the bed, feeling her body shiver due to the cold air in the room. Slowly, she looked at everything in the room, starting from all the doors to the window that showed the scorching sunlight.It was already morning. It seemed she hadn't woken up all night. No wonder her stomach was extremely hungry and almost nauseous.Hayle tried to open each window in the room. Unfortunately, all of them were closed and couldn't be opened at all. The only hope for her to get out of the room was the carved door that was quite large.She walked quietly so no one would notice she was awake. However, just as she was about to reach the door, it suddenly opened, making Hayle jum

    "Are you not eating?" Jaxter immediately entered Hayle's room, where Hayle was lying on the bed.Hayle, seeing the man's arrival, tried to calm down. It wasn't because he was afraid; he was just exhausted from vomiting repeatedly."I think you don't want to eat because it's bothering you. I also want to eat But my body won't let me!" Hayle said firmly, with a hint of annoyance. It was easy for this man to say that. He didn't feel it."You must eat!" Jaxter insisted. For him, it didn't matter what happened. What was important was that Hayle had to eat because he needed energy to keep his baby healthy."I don't want to My stomach is not feeling well!" Hayle remained in his position, wrapping his entire body with a lavender-scented white blanket, which was enough to calm him down.Jaxter took a deep breath, trying to calm down his anger. "Eat when you can eat. Don't risk your baby!" Jaxter certainly didn't know what else to do. If he didn't remember that there was a baby inside this woma

    "Hayle's condition has been addressed. She is currently asleep, possibly fatigued due to low blood sugar," explained the doctor attending to her."Her pregnancy?" Jaxter inquired anxiously."Fortunately, Hayle's pregnancy is also stable. However, her condition appears fragile. She mentioned experiencing lower abdominal cramps, not for the first time, which is concerning. I recommend plenty of rest and avoiding stress as it significantly affects her pregnancy," the doctor elaborated. "But for now, she's doing fine."Jaxter listened silently for a moment, then nodded quietly."Alright, we'll get Hayle settled into her room now," the doctor said with a faint smile, leaving Jaxter to update Hayle's status before she was taken to her room.Hayle woke up with a slightly heavy head but feeling much refreshed. She took a deep breath, recognizing the hospital scent that was all too familiar to her. She scanned her surroundings, noting the spacious room that seemed far from being a VVIP type.H

    Hayle squinted muscles around her eyes, staring at the man seated on one of the sofas. He seemed absorbed in his own affairs, completely unknowable to Hayle. He had arrived moments ago without saying a word, and as far as Hayle knew, they were waiting for the nurse to take her for an examination."Can I ask you something?" Hayle finally spoke, unable to contain it any longer.The man didn't respond immediately. He paused from whatever he was doing and glanced towards Hayle with an indifferent look, uttering only a noncommittal "Hmm?" which irritated Hayle slightly."Why are you so sure this child is yours? I'm the one carrying it and I'm not even sure who the father is," Hayle asked, clutching her slightly tense lower abdomen. Not much had changed, but Hayle could feel it.How could she be carrying the seed of a man like him?Jaxter didn't immediately open his mouth, as if starting to move his lips was a difficult task. "I did a DNA test when you did one with your ex," he finally sai

    "Hah! Damn! Where could this woman be?!" Jacob pressed the call button on his phone again, frustrated. He had been trying to reach her all day with no response. Now, standing in front of her apartment, Hayle still hadn't opened the door for him."Jacob?" The voice made Jacob turn around. It was the last person he wanted to see."You? What are you doing here?" Jacob asked, his expression showing clear displeasure.Lucas sighed, knowing Jacob never liked him, especially after he left Hayle. "I came to pick up some things from Hayle's place.""Oh really? Why now? You've been apart for months. What do you want to take, her sofa?" Jacob retorted, clearly irritated and forgetting his original purpose for coming here.Lucas pursed his lips. He didn't want to argue with Jacob. Instead, he focused on finding out where Hayle might be now.Jacob narrowed his eyes, watching as Lucas pulled something from his wallet—it was a key to open the door that Jacob had been trying to open."You still have

    Hayle glanced around the central hall of the house, feeling it fitting to be likened to a palace. The location seemed remote, not close to urban areas; during their drive back from the hospital, she noticed it was quite secluded. The main gate was far from the house itself, requiring them to pass through pine trees that kept the surroundings cool and green."Mr. Jaxter instructed that you may leave your room and roam anywhere around the house, except..." Roberto emphasized the exception. "Mr. Jaxter's main chambers and the building in the backyard. Apart from those, feel free to explore."Hayle smirked before nodding slowly. "And I cannot leave this place.""That's correct unless Mr. Jaxter approves.""What about the garden?" Hayle asked to confirm. "I just can't step past that gate, right? Wherever I go within these grounds, I'm allowed, except Mr. Jaxter's main chambers and that building." Hayle glanced towards the building visible through the glass wall, seeming smaller than the m

    "Hah! Boring!"Hayle got out of bed after the most awkward dinner she had ever experienced. She had expected to spend the evening with Jaxter, but he chose to have dinner in his room instead. Hayle's face showed boredom; she had already paced around the room twice before deciding to sleep, but unfortunately, she couldn't sleep at all. Perhaps she just wasn't used to this situation.She opened her unlocked bedroom door, looking down dimly lit hallways. Maybe finding something to do would make Hayle a bit tired and sleepy; she had spent the whole day wrapped up in her bed.Her feet moved slowly on the carpeted floor, nearly all of it covered, muffling anyone's footsteps. In her nightgown, somehow perfectly fitting her body, Hayle wandered through the mansion even though the clock on the wall had chimed nearly twelve times.She was truly amazed by this palace-like house, although she found its interior and decorations boring and minimal. The luxurious impression, however, seemed to be pr

    "How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e

    "You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin

    "Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha

    "Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly

    "Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th

    The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what

    "Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt

    "Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba

    "At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
