Jaxter nodded softly again, not wanting to be seen as an inattentive father to their unborn child."Can I have Ramen?" Hayle suddenly remembered the delicious ramen near her old campus. Slurping warm noodles might boost her appetite."No," Jaxter replied flatly, dampening Hayle's spirits. "You should know that's not good for your pregnancy.""I asked for Ramen, not instant noodles. The noodles themselves are fine; it's the seasoning that's the issue because of its high sodium content. Noodles cooked with healthy seasonings can also be nutritious," Hayle explained.Jaxter fell silent, realizing he couldn't argue about health with Hayle."Can I have it?" Hayle asked eagerly, her eyes sparkling, impatiently waiting for his response."Tell Roberto what kind of food you want," Jaxter sighed, looking at the delighted woman in front of him."Okay!" Hayle replied enthusiastically.After informing Roberto of her food preference, she eagerly awaited its arrival. Fortunately, Roberto didn't take

"The situation has improved, Miss Hayle is sleeping again now. If by tomorrow morning her condition remains stable like this, I'll remove the IV tomorrow morning," Jaxter's personal doctor explained after examining Hayle for the night.Far from when she first arrived, Hayle's condition had greatly improved. Initially, he wanted to remove the IV now, but seeing Hayle already asleep, it wasn't wise to wake a pregnant woman."This is the first time she's been able to sleep so quickly," Jaxter looked towards the doctor, his tone as usual, flat."Yes, many pregnant women complain about having difficulty sleeping. It's better for you to stay with her. It will make the mother more comfortable and be beneficial for your baby as well," Jaxter's personal doctor immediately advised. He felt this man had shown enough change after the young lady arrived. He could even hear his advice, whereas before, if it didn't match his thoughts or desires, nothing would make Jaxter do it, even for his own heal

Jaxter hurried towards Hayle's room. He knew there was nowhere else she could go besides her room; this whole place was surely guarded. And indeed, as he tried to open her door, it was locked."Hayle!" Jaxter tried knocking on the door, suppressing his frustration but feeling uneasy inside. Yet, his knocks received no response from Hayle, which immediately made Jaxter impatient. He was also afraid that Hayle might do something reckless again, like earlier. So, he swiftly accessed the automatic door, inputting his fingerprint to unlock it.As the sound of the door unlocking echoed, Jaxter slowly pressed the door handle, feeling slightly awkward and unsure of what to do. But he couldn't let Hayle stay angry at him like before.As he entered Hayle's room, it was dimly lit with only one lamp beside the bed. Jaxter's eyes immediately fell on Hayle, who sat on the carpeted floor, leaning against the bed's wall with her legs sprawled out. Hayle looked like she had been crying, her eyes red a

Dug!Jaxter immediately looked over at Hayle, whose head had apparently hit the car window. This jolted the drowsy woman awake briefly, but like feeling glue in her eyes, Hayle soon seemed overcome with deep fatigue again. The combination of lack of sleep, a full stomach, and the comfort of the car made it impossible for Hayle to fight off her drowsiness.The man beside her, seated on the other side of the car, furrowed his brow, watching as Hayle tried to find a comfortable position for her head, finding leaning near the window the most comfortable. But her head bumped against the window a few times, more startling than painful."What a strange woman," thought Jaxter, still nursing his annoyance at Hayle's indifference throughout this journey. However, seeing how this soon-to-be mother of his child was clearly trying to get comfortable, he couldn't stay passive.Jaxter moved quickly, shifting his body closer to Hayle's side. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arm behind Hayle's head

Hayle slowly opened her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze and hearing the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the beach below. It was the most restful sleep Hayle had experienced, but when she turned, the figure she had shared it with was no longer beside her.She smiled softly, still able to sense the faint scent of the body that had embraced her all night, making her reluctant to leave her current spot. Yet, curiosity tugged at her about where the man could be now."Where is Sir?" Hayle finally asked as she decided to leave her room, wanting to enjoy the morning atmosphere with its warmth. But it seemed the man was no longer there."Sir is exercising. He is jogging on the beach, Miss," a guard intentionally left there answered Hayle's question promptly."Oh, really?" Hayle queried, heading towards the balcony of her hotel room. If she wasn't mistaken, from here she could see the beach below. Perhaps she could catch a glimpse of him now.It didn't take long for Hayle's eyes t

"Lucas!" The voice made Lucas, who had been looking upset, immediately turn indifferent.But as he turned around, the man's face broke into a warm smile to greet the arrival of the troubled-looking woman."What's wrong with you?" Lucas asked, concerned."I don't know, lately I've been having frequent headaches. My father is like that too, which is why he called you here," Sonia said, putting on a helpless expression, holding her throbbing head."It's because you're pushing yourself too hard. I've told you, it's better if you stop doing such work. Just be my wife, that's enough. I'll make you happy," Lucas whispered, teasingly.This instantly melted Sonia, who promptly hugged her future husband's hand and led him into their luxurious home."I've had myself checked by all the doctors. I've also undergone all the comprehensive examinations as they requested. But none of them could diagnose what's wrong with me," Sonia's father complained as he lay down on a lazy sofa where he usually res

The gunfire was met with Jaxter's precision shot that incapacitated the man behind the initial assailant, hitting him squarely in the chest with his semi-automatic pistol equipped with a suppressor. Unaware that their targets were still fighting back, the attackers attempted to aim their pistols at Jaxter and Roberto. However, without hesitation, Jaxter and Roberto swiftly returned fire, rendering four of them instantly immobile.Roberto moved quickly towards the door, scanning the surroundings and firing his pistol several times at guards stationed nearby. Eventually, two outside surrendered to Roberto's sharpshooting skills; he was indeed a seasoned marksman."All clear, sir!" Roberto scanned their surroundings again. Despite feeling secure, he remained vigilant, wary of any potential hidden threats observing the ceasefire.Jaxter narrowed his eyes. At least four individuals lay motionless in their seats. Surviving subordinates checked on them, some shaking their heads indicating th

"My baby will be okay, right?" asked Hayle, who had just been transferred from a helicopter to a bed in the nearest major hospital from the hotel."He'll be fine. He's as strong as you and me," Jaxter said, holding Hayle's hand as they rushed into the hospital's emergency room.Hayle tried to smile, but her face was contorted with pain. She believed Jaxter's words; Roberto always said he was a man of his word.Their hands had to part as Hayle entered one of the rooms in the emergency department. For the first time, Jaxter looked truly distraught and worried about what was happening. Seeing doctors and nurses immediately attending to Hayle made his heart ache for the first time. Despite the bruises now visible on her body, she could still inquire about the condition of their baby. It had become increasingly evident in recent times."How is she?" Jaxter asked, seeing a doctor who had just finished performing an ultrasound on Hayle. Hayle furrowed her brow as she saw the doctor approachi

"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
