Pregnant for A Stranger Part 79
"Who is it?" Logan asked with a face as flat as glass."Mr. Jaxter and a few of his people, sir," one of Logan's trusted subordinates immediately informed him.A unique smirk appeared on Logan's face, a sly grin spreading across it. "So, the kid who's been away has finally come back. Let him in!""But sir, I think he doesn’t just want to see you. He wants to challenge you."Logan’s expression shifted once again. A questioning look was evident before he leaned back casually, as if it didn’t bother him at all. "He wants to challenge the person who taught him to fight?""That seems to be the case, sir," Charles, Logan's assistant, nodded once more as the man began to laugh heartily, even clapping slowly as if mocking."It sounds quite bold but also amusing. Where is he?" Mr. Logan asked with a very confident demeanor."He might be arriving soon," Charles had just said that when the door to the main room of the Black Phoenix headquarters opened, revealing Jaxter and his followers behind h

"Hey! That's not allowed!" Shouted Laurence who knew this should only be a bare-handed fight."Damn it! I'll kill you!" Charles said again with a frenzy, immediately stabbing the knife at Jaxter who did his best to deflect it. Their movements looked fast like a martial arts demonstration. All of this made the people who even saw it unable to blink.Jaxter noticed that Charles was starting to decline in his attacking performance. He immediately seized the opportunity to grip Charles' hands tightly, elbowing Charles' face again, and quickly snatched the knife, then moved to lock Charles' head from behind. All of this happened so quickly that everyone was left bewildered as to how Jaxter managed it."Roberto!" a faint voice was heard. This made Roberto, who was very focused on his master's duel, look towards the sound. It was Cassius' weak voice. The man seemed to point in one direction with all his strength. Roberto quickly responded.Roberto's eyes widened as he saw Logan's movements,

"Stop looking at me like that." Hayle applied a sterile gauze, moistened with infusion fluid, to clean the wound from the blood that had covered the open injury.A little nervous because her husband's gaze made it hard for her to focus, she tried her best to carry out her task. She applied povidone-iodine to sterilize the wound before proceeding with other steps.Hayle deliberately pressed the wound a little harder to make her husband wince in pain because Jaxter continued his behavior, staring at Hayle as if she were an object of frustration.Even after being provoked by Hayle, Jaxter persisted in what he was doing."You're so stubborn, aren't you?" Hayle protested again while deftly performing her duties.Jaxter, once again, remained indifferent. He just stayed quiet, following every movement of his wife with his deep black eyes. Occasionally, he would curl the corners of his lips, making Hayle wonder what the man was thinking.After all this is over, Jaxter just wanted to see Hayle

Hayle slowly opened her eyes, her vision still blurred as she scanned the room. She quickly recognized her surroundings and, noticing the figure of the man sleeping beside her, she carefully sat up. However, feeling the slight movement beside him, Jaxter immediately woke up."Did I wake you?" Hayle asked, observing her husband's tired face.Just like her, he looked exhausted. Hayle was sure that her husband hadn’t been able to sleep peacefully, especially after his duel and injuries. His fatigue seemed even more intense than hers."No. How are you feeling?" Jaxter took a deep breath, trying to mask his drowsiness."I think I’m okay. I’m so weak, aren’t I? I need to be treated and given an IV. You should be the one resting, not me. How are you?" Hayle looked at her husband with concern, seeing him so weary."No, it’s not like that. Jacob said that a combination of exhaustion, stress, and your pregnancy has led to this condition. I’m going to the bathroom now." Jaxter stood up and slowl

“I won’t be long.” Jaxter gazed into Hayle’s eyes as if he didn’t want to look away.“Don’t worry. I’ll be here, and I’ll probably just sleep while you’re gone,” Hayle smiled sweetly, trying to reassure her husband, who seemed reluctant to leave her side. Despite being ready, he hadn’t yet taken a step out.Jaxter nodded in understanding. After giving Hayle a warm kiss on the forehead, he finally left their hotel room. He had decided to stay there to ensure Hayle’s comfort and to have her needs met by the hotel staff.“Sir,” Roberto lowered his gaze as he saw Jaxter emerging from his room. “Everything is ready.”Jaxter didn’t respond and walked straight to the hotel’s main entrance. “Make sure everything is secure.”It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to be apart from his wife even for a moment, but he could no longer trust people. However, bringing Hayle in her current weakened state to the company wouldn’t be wise. Jacob had explained that this pregnancy carried far more risk than the p

“Are we moving to the village?” Hayle asked, looking at her husband who had just changed into more relaxed home clothes.“Hmm,” the man murmured in response, a clear answer that Hayle understood.She paused for a moment with a furrowed brow, her face full of questions. “Are you sure about this?” Hayle asked, looking at her husband, who was now moving towards her.He climbed into the bed and slowly nestled under the blanket that both of them used.“Yes, I’m sure,” Jaxter said, not taking Hayle’s question too seriously. His hand reached out and rested on Hayle’s still-flat stomach, bringing a sense of warmth to her. “How are you and the baby today?”“I’m feeling fine today. Besides being a bit drowsy this morning, there’s nothing else. It seems like the baby understands my condition now.” Hayle looked at her husband, seeing her own small reflection in his dark, flat pupils, but she could sense a hint of happiness in his gaze. “Jax, I want to talk seriously with you.”“Go ahead,” Jaxter

“Yes! All better now, right?” Hayle smiled sweetly at a six-year-old child who had hurt his head after falling while playing in the river behind their house.“Thank you, Miss. You’ve been a great help. If only there was a doctor here. We would have been so relieved,” the mother, who had been with her child and still showed traces of tears on her face, said gratefully. “Is there anything we can give you? We only have a little bit of wine.”“Oh, no. I’m just helping out. Keep it for yourselves. And Dean! Could you give this woman some bread?” Hayle said, looking at the slightly thin child.“No, please, Miss, don’t! We can’t accept any more of your kindness,” the mother protested, appearing hesitant.“He’s hurt and needs to eat well to recover quickly. I’m giving it to him, so please don’t refuse,” Hayle insisted.“But Miss...,” the woman was clearly reluctant.“Take it. It’s from me,” Dean, one of Hayle’s servants, handed over the bread. The package was full, enough to feed her family.

“Just work on this one,” Jaxter said, shifting his gaze to his wife as she approached him. She was walking on tiptoe because the grass was wet from the rain that had soaked the village last night. “Why are you here?” he asked, moving towards her.“I wanted to tell you something and ... it’s so boring at home,” Hayle replied, reaching out to her husband’s hand to steady herself. Yes, Hayle needed some movement rather than just sitting and sleeping at home.Jaxter’s face took on a slightly questioning expression. He didn’t need to say it; he was sure Hayle knew what he meant.“Jacob is coming the day after tomorrow. He has surgery tomorrow, so he can’t come here,” Hayle said, struggling to breathe a little. The combination of increased oxygen needs due to pregnancy and the humid atmosphere made her breathe through her mouth. But her eyes were bright as she looked at the neatly lined grapevines, which were starting to bear fruit.“Hm, you shouldn’t have come out here,” Jaxter observed, n

"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
