"I won't leave her, she needs me," Ethan answered while he dressed Moriah.

"Then, why did you reject her and the child?" Cindy asked with a smirk.

"I was an idiot at that time," Ethan replied without averting his gaze from his still unconscious wife.

"She's decided to raise the child by herself. What would you do? " Cindy asked just to goad him, so he would be decisive with his decision to take Moriah back.

Ethan held Moriah's hand and lifted it to his lips before replying, "I'll do everything to have her back."

"I hope you could still change her mind. She's my best friend, I knew once she made up her mind nothing can change it. She loved Shaun for over a decade, but when he rejected her, the affection she had for him was reduced to nothing, " Cindy shrugged her shoulders and left the room.

Ethan stared at Moriah for a long time. He stroked her face ever so gently. "Wife, you're not allowed to forget me."

Ethan removed his suit and shoes, and then lay down beside Moriah. She mov

"Right away, madam."Despite the heaviness in her heart Moriah couldn't help but laugh at her friend's antics. Just as Cindy came inside, Moriah dialed Sophie's number. The call couldn't get through. She called again, still her call couldn't get through. Only after the umpteenth time that she eventually gave up and called Dylan. Moriah knew that Sophie sometimes forgot to bring her phone..

    The hot and humid day in Singapore was aggravated by Ethan's brooding countenance that resulted in Cameron sweating profusely. While they were in the car, Cameron kept on wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead and dared not to look at Ethan. “We’ll fly back to London at 3 pm,” considering Moriah’s response to him, he decided not to follow her to Shanghai as he didn’t want her to keep on travelling, since it wouldn’t be good for her and their baby. Little did he know that Moriah went back to London. Two days after arrival in London, Moriah and Cindy got ready to report to the hospital. “Go and sit at the back,” Cindy told Moriah when she opened the front passenger door.

We have to buy things for the baby,” Cindy said as she picked up Moriah’s handbag and helped her get up from the chair. Moriah strok

    Moriah slept straight until morning. When she woke up in the morning she felt a heavy arm over her baby bump. It occurred to her that Cindy joined her in the bed. She smiled at how her friend protected her. Opening her eyes, she gasped to see a big hand, a man's hand. Her initial reaction was to look who it was and her eyes met Ethan's blue eyes. "You…" she pushed him away from her. "What are you doing in my room?" She asked angrily at him. "It's my room as well," Ethan gave her his boyish grin, remembering she once told him that she loves it when she sees him with his boyish grin. However, Moriah wasn't in the least moved by his boyish grin. She looked around and recognized it was their room. She got up as if she had been scorched at the thought that he and Hazel used the room when she was away. The room no longer belongs to them. "Where are you going?" Ethan engulfed her body in his arms. "I'm going home," she answered curtly as she tried her best to be released from his hold

    Ethan knew better than to agitate her. "Alright, get dressed and we’ll have breakfast before sending you to work." They had a rather quiet breakfast as no one talked. Even their whole trip from home to the hospital was totally silent. When the car pulled up in front of the hospital, Moriah alighted from the car without throwing a glance at her husband. Ethan took a deep breath, trying to contain the frustration swirling inside his chest. He took his phone and made a call. "Matthew, make sure that the bodyguards keep an eye on my wife. I don't want anything to happen to her and make sure she won't run away again," he barked his order and hung up the phone. 30 minutes before the employees clock out, while he was reviewing a document, Ethan heard a knock. "Come in," he said as he put down the document on his desk. "Sir, you have a business dinner, with Mr Okinawa," Cameron said, reminding him of his appointment. Ethan rubbed his temple. Hazel came in and saw Ethan massage his temp

He kissed her forehead, after that he crouched down. “Good morning, son,” he kissed her baby bump. Moriah blinked, but she didn’t allow her heart to soften. “I made this for you,” Ethan said and placed the tray on her lap.

It wasn’t hard for Ethan to guess, he knew that she didn't want him to touch her. He took the plates and brought it to the table. He came back and took the cups. During the dinner, Zachary and Cindy had their usual bantering. “Cindy, you have to learn from Moriah how to cook. Your cooking skill is good only for the dogs,” Zachary remarked. “That’s why you like the food I prepared for you,” Cindy retorted. Moriah choked at Cindy’s come back and started to cough.

    “I’m sorry, that’s all I could do to help you,” Cindy said to Ethan when she learned that Moriah didn’t come to see him, instead flew to Manchester. “I’ve already lied to her that you're seriously ill.” Ethan's face darkened at the thought that she never cared about him. “Thank you for helping, anyway.” “Okay,” Cindy said and gave the phone to Zachary. Ethan was pacing back and forth in his office when his phone rang. He frowned when he saw that it was his dad who was calling. “Where are you?” Brandon asked, exasperation seeped through his voice, Ethan was taken aback to hear his tone as his dad never was like this to him when having a phone call. “I’m in my office,” he replied and sighed, holding himself back in replying to him rudely. “Your wife is here, actually anytime soon she’s going to be your ex - wife,” Brandon said, as he couldn’t contain his anger and already spilled over. “That won’t happen,” Ethan said in between his clenched teeth.

    Exhausted, Moriah drifted to sleep while she was being cleaned. The sun was beginning to set when she woke from her sleep as she heard her son cry. As she was trying to sit, a pair of strong arms helped her. Moriah looked up and saw her dashing husband’s face. Though she wanted to push him, she couldn't do it as she had no energy to do it. “Mommy, feed your baby,” a nurse said, smiling. Moriah took her son from her. Moriah was shy to feed her son as Ethan was in the room. Sensing her apprehension, the nurse chuckled and said, “You don’t have to be shy, we’re both women and it’s your husband who is only here. Don’t tell me you're still too shy for him to see your breasts.” Moriah pale face stained red, Ethan lips twitched. Moriah glared at him and gestured for him to turn around which he did without protesting. His son has been already hungry and needed to be fed thus, he gave up the idea of teasing Moriah. Moriah was wary while feeding her son, she hid her breast from Ethan’s sight

    Moriah stared at her reflection in the mirror with a critical eye, tilting her head this way and that as she turned around to look at her butt. Ethan stepped into her line of sight, and she gave him a perturbed frown in the mirror. "Are you ready?" Ethan lovingly looked at Moriah, who was looking at herself in the mirror in displeasure. "You seemed to be disgusted with yourself.” "Why won't I be disgusted looking at myself when this kid made me look like an elephant," Moriah pouted as she complained, and he grinned, coming up behind her to wrap his arms around her. He could hardly fit them around her huge stomach. “You look beautiful and you know it,” he told her, dropping a kiss onto her shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man, the corner of his eyes crinkling attractively. He just got more gorgeous with age; the sprinkling of gray in his hair and the fine lines forming around his eyes and on his brow just added to his gorgeous looks. It was something she often complain

Ethan roared in laughter. “You’re so mean,” It dawned on her that it’s the reason he told her to watch alone in their room. “I'm not mean," he said, still trying to stop himself from laughing. He went on after he stopped laughing. " If ever I forget you and watch how I make love with you, at least it gives me proof that I truly adore you and that we truly love each other. Look, we are not only having s*x but what we were doing was expressing our love for each other. It wasn’t lust that moved our bodies, but love,” Ethan explained to his bashful wife.

    "Let me take you to the couch," Ethan broke the silence after a long while. "No, I can do it," she's a doctor and had an idea what was going on with his body. Moriah sat next to him. She placed her feet on the couch and hugged her knees. She waited for him to speak."I have a blood clot in the brain," Ethan said, his voice trembling. Moriah was still stupefied despite having an impression that his physical condition wasn't good. "Why are you divorcing me then?" Moriah broke down and sobbed. "I refused to have a surgery because of the risk of losing my memory. I would rather die remembering you than to live forgetting you. To forget you is worse than death," Ethan replied, tears escaping his rims.
