In shock, Moriah’s eyes widened in horror and placed her hand to cover her mouth. Her mind went riot, hearing her husband giving an order to kill.

Ethan hung up and turned. His eyes darkened, seeing Moriah’s reaction. Without missing a beat, he strode towards her swooning wife and caught her just in time before she fainted.

Moriah regained consciousness after a while, she sat up once she recalled what she heard from her husband.

“You're awake,” Ethan’s voice rang in her ears.

He sat beside her, Moriah looked at him with a wobbly smile.

“Do you want to ask something?” Ethan tenderly asked and took her in his arms.

Realizing that she had overreacted and didn’t give him the benefit of the doubt, she felt guilty. “Can you explain what I heard from you a while ago,” she said as she hugged him tight.

She heard his chest rumble as he chuckled.

    "Da.. da.. da.." Dillon cooed as Moriah was about to climb the stairs, her foot stayed in the air for two seconds before it landed on the steps with a thud. She looked at his son, still calling his dad. A moist formed at the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath, containing her emotion. This point in time, she should be strong and stand beside her husband.Moriah had a quick shower and came down immediately after putting on her clothes. The nanny had already fed Dillon, so what's left for Moriah to do was to bathe him and make him sleep. She played with him to settle his stomach before bathing him."Do you miss your dad?" Moriah asked him.Dillon smiled and cooed, "Da, da, da," after that he put his thumbs in his mouth and began to whine. "Da, da, da." "Alright, it's time for your bath," Moriah carried Dillon in her arms and went upstairs. Dillon seemed to miss his dad.

    Without a second thought Moriah darted towards the nursery room. While on the way to the nursery room, she tried to figure out the cause of Dillon's fever. Moriah touched Dillon's forehead, she felt it hot and assumed that he had a high fever. "Hurry, give me the thermometer," Moriah ordered. Ethan followed Moriah to the nursery when he saw her left in a haste. "What's wrong?" Ethan asked when he saw the nanny frantically give the thermometer to Moriah. As a doctor who had faced so many dire situations, Moriah kept herself composed and collected while she took Dillon's temperature. She looked at the thermometer and read 102.2 °F. "Get the cooling patches, stored in the refrigerator," Moriah instructed, and the nanny followed the order without delay. "Let's take him to the hospital," Ethan said as he paced the room anxiously. Seeing the man's worried sick expression, Moriah looked into his eyes and assuringly smiled at him. "Don't worry, baby." Ethan helplessly watche

    Ethan chuckled and flicked her forehead. Moriah held her forehead and gave him a feigned, aggrieved look. "Don't tell me you've decided to become a material girl," what she said to him just now amused him. They have been married for almost three years now and Moriah never demanded any material thing from him. Every time he bought expensive gifts for her, she always says that it's too expensive and would tell him not to buy her gifts. She always tells him that she's content having three meals daily, a roof over her head, clothes to wear and most of all a loving family and couldn't ask for more. She didn't even fight over her inheritance when her grandfather passed away three months ago. She let her relatives take over the multi billion company that was left to her by her grandfather and didn't demand anything in return. "Yes, I want villas, cars, expensive clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry. In short, I want to live like a princess," Moriah held her head high, looking straight i

    All of the sudden, an hour later, after having a conversation over the phone with Ethan, Moriah's heartbeat sped up, her heart thundering inside her chest. She felt something went wrong with Ethan. "You're overthinking, Ethan is fine," Moriah said to herself, so she would calm down. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, she saw Dillon looking at her with his adorable big blue eyes. She picked him up and played with him, however, she couldn't concentrate. While her mind was wandering, a voice suddenly traveled to her ears coming from her back, and the owner of the voice was close. She was startled and she snapped out of her daze. She turned her head and saw Cindy with Zachary standing beside her. "You're here!" She said with a smile. "Didn't you hear our knocks?" Cindy asked while looking around to find Ethan. "Where did your man go?" "He flew to Canada, the company is having trouble now," Moriah replied sadly. "His scumbag half brothe

    Moriah couldn't hold back anymore and burst into fits of laughter. This is the funniest wedding proposal she ever witnessed. A proposal with no ring, but full of bantering such a bizaare wedding proposal. Zachary and Cindy looked at Moriah, who was laughing out loud. Dillon also looked up and giggled. He thought that his mother was playing with him. "Ma, ma, ma," Dillon said. Amazed to hear that Dillon has spoken. Cindy was ecstatically happy. "Did I hear it right, he said mama just now?" Cindy said in elation, making her hazel eyes sparkle. Moriah nodded. "Ma, ma, ma," Dillon repeated. Cindy took Dillon from Moriah's arms. "Call me mama as well, I'm your godmother." Dillon looked at Cindy and said, "Ma, ma, ma…" after that he began to cry. Checking her watch, Moriah said, "It's time for him to have a nap," he took Dillon from Cindy and rocked him and sung him a lullaby to make him sleep. They chatted a little while before Cindy and Zachary bade goodbye. Shortly

    Waves of yearning flipped Moriah’s heart. Clutching her phone tightly turning her knuckles white, she jumped to her feet and headed to the floor to ceiling window. People and cars on the street were just like ants busily crawling from her point of view, being on the 30th floor of a tall building. "Did you miss me, love?" A man's hoarse voice sounded at the other end of the line. Moriah's eyes turned blurry. "Missing you badly, that I'm going crazy," Moriah broke down. "Stay where you are, I'm coming to get you," Ethan said in a commanding tone. "Hurry up!" Moriah giggled and sobbed all at the same time as she was overwhelmed by the surge of emotion.

"Madam, she came back in the wee hours, but…" he paused and thought how to say it. "But what, Jim?" Fiona asked. "She brought a man with her.

    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.

    After Ethan’s message, images of their wedding flashed on the screen, afterwards photos of them in Shanghai, their family pictures and many photos of her and Ethan together.

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.

    Moriah looked at him with her bright smile that he loves to look at, which made the little annoyance completely vanish. "I love you, Mr Ethan Miller!" "I love you, too Mrs Moriah Miller," Ethan chuckled, tilting his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose. Moriah pulled away from him and put the flowers on the couch.

"Let's take a picture first," Ethan pulled up his iPhone to capture their moment."Look at me, love," Ethan whispered in her ear.

    "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.
