Ariana replied, "You fight to protect our country, and I do my best to save lives. We're both just doing our duty. There's no need to thank me."

With that, she left.

The tanned man behind her watched her retreating figure until she disappeared from sight.

When Jensen came out of the operating room, he saw Ariana dozing off in a chair. She was still holding a patient's lab report, but her eyes were closed. She was nodding off as her body slowly tilted to one side.

Jensen stepped forward and steadied her shoulder.

Ariana opened her eyes and managed a smile. "You're done? I got you some food."

Because the operating room was busy 24/7, the cafeteria also served food at night. The taste wasn't great. However, there were not many food options around, so they would go hungry if they couldn't eat cafeteria food.

Jensen sat down beside her and opened the food container. "Did you eat?" he asked.

Ariana nodded.

Only then did Jensen start eating.

What he ate didn't matter as lon

    The senior staff was puzzled to see Spencer's anger. "It's just the border, not the front lines. Everyone who went did so voluntarily." Spencer strode off. He made a call as he walked. "Make some arrangements for my next trip. I'm going to the border." Weston thought he was hearing things. "Mr. Ulrich, what did you say?" They set off that night. Spencer sat in the back seat with an unreadable expression. In the front passenger seat, Weston couldn't help but wonder about Spencer's thoughts. Spencer was first and foremost a businessman. He should care most about profit and loss. He should be the best at seeking potential gains and avoiding risks. But what was he doing now? How could he go to such a dangerous place as the border? Weston couldn't understand. He didn't think Spencer loved Ariana. Men like Spencer were cool-headed and cold-blooded. He wouldn't fall in love with anyone. Even with Irene, he merely felt grateful because she had saved him. So why was Spencer risk

    Ariana's gaze shifted away from Spencer. After she was done dressing the wound, she told Kyle, "Rest well and recover." Seeing her about to leave, Kyle glanced at the Harvorian man who had just entered. He then said, "Dr. Lubove, please give me an answer!" Ariana frowned at him. "Your only task now is to recover quickly." "Are you rejecting me because you have a boyfriend?" Kyle raised his hand. "Is it him?" Though Spencer looked haggard, he couldn't hide the anger on his face. For a moment, he had seen surprise in Ariana's eyes. But soon after, she calmly continued treating the wound. Her eyes never lingered on him again. Spencer felt angry, agitated, and even a bit hurt without realizing it. He had come all this way and braved dangers just to find her at the border, and this was her reaction? Hearing the patient's question, Spencer, who was about to lash out, held back. If Ariana acknowledged him as her boyfriend, he would forgive her and let things slide. Spencer snort

    Ariana sighed. "I'm sorry for the trouble." "I have surgery soon," Jensen said. "If you don't want to see him, do you want to join me?" Ariana shook her head. "Now that he's here, do you think he'll let it go without seeing me?" "Then, do you want me to accompany you?" Jensen suggested. "I think you shouldn't explain anything to him. Might as well let him misunderstand that we're together." Ariana shook her head again. "Don't worry about it. I'll handle it." "Ari..." "It's fine. Carry on with your work." With that, Ariana turned and left. She couldn't possibly tell Spencer that she was seeing Jensen, even if it was fake. Who knew if that lunatic Spencer might target the Rivera family after returning home? As Ariana left the ward, she saw Spencer. In that brief glance earlier, she had noticed he had lost a lot of weight. Even so, he was still tall and broad-shouldered, wearing an expensive tailored suit. Standing outside the run-down ward, he looked even more disting

    Ariana heard the sadness in his voice and hesitated for a moment. But soon after, she pushed him away.Spencer didn't force her again. They separated, and Spencer lowered his eyes to look at her. Ariana's brows remained furrowed as she said, "You shouldn't be here. If there's nothing else, please leave as soon as possible." "Speaking of that." Spencer's eyes flashed with anger again. "Who told you to come here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?" Ariana said, "I decided to come myself. I'm an adult, and my decisions are my own business. As for you, Mr. Ulrich, we're divorced. Please don't interfere in my affairs, okay?" "You're an adult, yet you're making such rash and careless decisions!" Spencer was furious. "Isn't there anywhere else you could practice medicine? Why did you choose such a dangerous place?" "Practicing medicine and saving lives is my duty. This place needs me more than others." "All for this godforsaken place? Are their worthless lives worth you

    Jensen was in the operating room upstairs next door. Ariana had to check on him! But as soon as she left the operating room, someone hugged her tightly. "Ari! Are you okay?" Spencer felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest when he heard the explosion. Without thinking, he grabbed a panicked nurse. He ran right over after he asked for the location of the operating room. His bodyguards told him to go back, but he wouldn't listen. His mind was filled with only one word. Ariana! Ariana! Holding her tightly in his arms, his heart seemed to start beating again."Ariana!" His eyes stung with emotion. At that moment, Spencer realized that if anything happened to this woman, he wouldn't want to live, either. He absolutely couldn't lose her. She was his life."Let go of me!" Ariana pushed him away with all her might and started running. Caught off guard, Spencer let her slip away. "Ariana! It's dangerous outside!" The enemy had dropped weapons, and half of the building

    Suddenly, someone grabbed Ariana's arm. Anxious and teary-eyed, she was beyond frustrated after being stopped so many times. "Let go of me!" "Go back!" Spencer pulled her forcefully. "I'll find Jensen." Ariana looked at him in disbelief. Spencer's brows were furrowed, but his gaze was determined. "You don't have to." Ariana tried to control herself, but her voice was still choking. "I'll find him myself." The situation was urgent, so Ariana didn't want to waste time arguing with him there. She forcefully pulled her hand free as she ignored the sharp pain in her wrist. Spencer couldn't bear to hurt her and immediately let go. But he picked her up right after that. He strode forward. Ignoring Ariana's struggles, he put her down nearby and told his two bodyguards, "Keep an eye on her!" With that, he turned and entered the ruins. "Spencer!" Ariana was restrained by her shoulders and couldn't move. Tears streamed down her face as she watched his tall figure disappear befor

    Spencer's face was tense. With his handsome face smudged with dust, he looked somewhat disheveled. Ariana looked at him with joy. "Jensen is down there!" Spencer replied coldly, "I'm not deaf." With lightning speed, he bent down and hoisted Ariana over his shoulder right away."Spencer! What are you doing? Put me down!" With her head down on his shoulder, Ariana pounded on his back. "Keep it down!" At his wit's end, Spencer smacked her bottom. He sent her out once again. He shot a cold glare at the two bodyguards. Then, he said to Ariana, "Stay put and wait. I'll bring Jensen out safe and sound. If you don't behave, want to bet I'll blow up the building?" Ariana gritted her teeth. "Fine! Go quickly!" she blurted out as if she was unconcerned about the danger he might face. Spencer glared at her fiercely before turning to leave. Jensen's foot was trapped, but luckily there was a gap underneath. He was wedged there and couldn't move his ankle.He had just finished sur

    Only now did Ariana realize how truly biased the human heart could be. If she had known Jensen would be in danger, she definitely wouldn't have come here. This place was ravaged by war, with people struggling to survive. But what did that have to do with her? The citizens weren't adequately protected because of the local government's incompetence and the weak military.If she had risked her life for her own countrymen, she could die without regrets even if something happened. But if Jensen had actually lost his life here, Ariana would never forgive herself. As she had said before, she volunteered to be a Doctor Without Borders herself. Acting on humanitarian principles to save lives was somewhat justifiable. But that wasn't a reason for her to be capricious and let Jensen risk his life for her. She shouldn't have been so selfish. Seeing Jensen out of danger now, she was overjoyed but also terrified in hindsight. Spencer supported Jensen with his hand while Ariana watched him

    Ariana lowered her gaze, her lashes hiding the emotions in her eyes. Spencer could not see them, but he imagined her expression remained as distant as ever."I just want to know if we could still be friends," he continued softly.Ariana paused for several seconds before shaking her head. Spencer's voice was strained with pain as he spoke, "I know it's an inappropriate request, but if we don't try this approach, I might not be able to stop pursuing you." "So you're saying if I don't agree to be friends, you'll keep bothering me?" Ariana finally looked at him directly. "Are you threatening me?"His words reminded her of Zane, who had used the same tactic. She wondered if all men thought this way—when pursuit failed, they would settle for friendship as a consolation prize.Spencer met her gaze. "That's not it. Ari… I'm just asking for your mercy."His eyes were bloodshot with dark circles underneath, clearly showing signs of sleepless nights. Ariana looked away, unable to bear

    Jacob rubbed his temples in frustration. "I've warned you about this. She has a boyfriend now, and they have a kid. If you get involved, what does that make you? The other man?""I know…" Spencer mumbled. "But I love her and can't control these feelings." "Having control is what makes us human," Jacob said firmly. "Losing control makes us no better than animals. You're better than that.""Maybe being an animal would hurt less," Spencer muttered."If that's your attitude, then there's nothing left to discuss." Jacob was getting exasperated with him. "That man isn't right for her!" Spencer burst out, recounting everything that had happened.Jacob shook his head. "They have a child together. What's the point of saying all this now?""He's manipulative and deceitful!" Spencer's voice rose with frustration. "How can Ari be with someone like that? Even if I didn't love her, I couldn't stand by and watch her be with someone so toxic!"Jacob took a deep breath and offered another per

    "Still, he shouldn't have hit anyone!" Ariana sighed as she looked at his face, now swollen and red. "Does it hurt?"Sam's eyes welled up with tears. "Yeah, it hurts like hell..."Spencer stood nearby, his fists clenched tight. For some reason, Sam just made his blood boil, and he wanted nothing more than to punch him again."Mr. Ulrich," Ariana said while supporting Sam. "Let me say this one last time—stay out of my life. Since Sam's willing to let this go, I won't press charges, but if there's a next time, I will call the police."After her warning, Ariana helped Sam inside their house. They both froze in their tracks when they saw Leo standing in the doorway—neither knew how long he had been awake or how much he had heard."Leo," Ariana quickly spoke up. "Go back inside.""Mom, you two go ahead. I'll close the door," Leo responded quietly.Ariana had no choice but to help Sam inside while Leo walked to the doorway and looked up at Spencer. The little boy barely reached Spence

    After that, Sam told Ariana softly, "Go check on Leo. I'll handle this."Wanting no part in this confrontation, Ariana went back inside. Sam closed the door and cracked his knuckles. "Why are you always bothering Ari? She's my girlfriend now, and you should stop.""You're not right for her," Spencer replied coldly."Are you?" Sam raised an eyebrow. "I'm younger, more devoted, and I'd never hurt her or flirt with another woman. What makes you think you're better?""This is between Ari and me. It doesn't concern you.""It doesn't concern me? Or you just can't think of a response? Did I hit a nerve? I guess getting older really does make people shameless.""Don't get cocky. You're not Ari's type at all."Sam leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "That's where you're wrong. Ari loves everything about me, especially my young body..."Before he could finish, Spencer threw down the food container and swung at him. Sam, anticipating the move, dodged quickly. Before long, the two me

    Boa quickly called Ariana back and reported, "It's not Zane.""Then, it must have been Spencer," Ariana concluded."That obsessive jerk!" Boa exclaimed. "He just won't give up!"Ariana asked, "Boey, since Rowan and Zane are close, could you tell Rowan to let Zane know that nothing will ever happen between us?"Boa sighed. "I already told him, but I'll emphasize it to him again. By the way, when are you heading to Orkney? I want to pick up Leo!""Tomorrow afternoon," Ariana replied. "But don't worry about picking him up—he's coming with me."When Ariana hung up, she found Leo watching her expectantly. He jumped into her arms as soon as she put down her phone. "Mom, are you done? Can you play with me now?"Ariana's heart melted. "Of course, baby. What would you like to play?""Let's play house!" Leo's eyes sparkled. "You be the mommy, and I'll be the baby, and you have to carry me!""Alright." Ariana laughed, scooping him up."No, not like that," Leo directed. "Carry me like

    Dennis could not help glancing in the rearview mirror at that comment. Meanwhile, Ariana looked at Sam and blurted out, "Marriage? Did you forget what we agreed on?""I remember," Sam replied. "But with your ex-husband and that Zane guy, we've got our work cut out. I'm worried they'll figure things out. Maybe we should turn this act into reality."Ariana shook her head firmly. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You're already doing me a huge favor by helping. Marriage is sacred, and when you find someone you truly love—" "But Ari, you're the one I love! I want to marry you!" Sam interrupted."Sam, you're still young..." Ariana smiled gently.Sam protested, "I'm not that young! You always use that excuse, but you're only five years older than me!"Before Ariana could respond, Dennis chimed in from the front seat, "There's an old saying—you can't force love. Sam, if you really care for her, win her heart properly and make her say yes to you. This isn't the way." "You sound like

    Ariana smiled politely. "That really won't be necessary. Don't put yourself through that, Mr. Marshall. You're quite the catch, and I'm certainly not worthy. If you'll excuse me, they're waiting for me."With that, Ariana turned and headed downstairs, where Sam was leaning casually against the car, waiting for her. Even though he and Dennis knew each other, they did not get along well, so Sam stepped out of the car to wait.Being a handsome foreigner with striking features and bright blue eyes, Sam naturally drew admiring glances from passersby. He was used to the attention, but suddenly, his gaze fixed on someone watching him with unmistakable hostility.He quickly realized it was the same guy from the airport yesterday, who had tried to block their path but was completely ignored by Ariana. Sam met Spencer's gaze with calm confidence and the natural arrogance of someone who knew they had won. As far as he was concerned, Spencer was the defeated rival—someone who did not stand a

    "That jerk..." Boa muttered under her breath before turning to Leo with a bright smile. "Leo, I'm going to treat you to something yummy!""Thank you, Aunt Boa," Leo replied with a blank face."Come on. Give me a smile," Boa cooed, pinching his cheek. "Oh, my goodness! You're just too cute!"Leo responded by burying his face in Ariana's shoulder. Jensen rushed to join them after finishing his surgery, making it a lively meal with five adults and one child. Leo only showed his bright smile when interacting with Ariana, maintaining his composed expression with everyone else.However, his stoic demeanor only encouraged Boa to tease him more, filling the dinner with laughter and joy. After that, Rowan arrived to pick up Boa, accompanied by Zane. By then, Leo was fighting to stay awake after his long flight and emotional reunion.He managed to open his eyes briefly to look at the two tall men before drifting off on Ariana's shoulder. Though the glimpse was quick, it was enough for

    "Me, too!" Sienna exclaimed, and Ariana could not help but laugh at her precious son's perfect little face, now adorned with two lipstick marks.Even though Leo felt that he was too grown up to be carried, he had not seen Ariana in so long that he did not want to leave her arms. Just this once, he decided to indulge himself and enjoy the comfort of her embrace.As the group walked toward the exit, sharing laughs, Ariana suddenly stopped in her tracks. The others paused, confused."What's wrong? Why did you stop…" Boa's voice trailed off as she spotted the man standing ahead of them.It was Spencer, his eyes fixed intently on the child in Ariana's arms. Now, Boa understood why Ariana had been so confident that Spencer would not question Leo's parentage. With those bright blue eyes matching Sam's, there was no way Spencer would suspect Leo was his.Boa thought it was a brilliant plan, and she looked at Spencer smugly. On the other hand, Leo glanced at Spencer before resting obed
