Lillian's perspective."What are you talking about?" I lowered my eyes and looked at the wrapped painting in the staff's hand. I wondered who had bought the Madam June painting for me."Miss Rosenberg, please accept this gift from your admirer." The staff member handed me the painting in his hands with an ambiguous look on his face. After that, he turned around and walked back into the art gallery.I stared at the staff member's back as he walked away. Just as I was about to speak, he had already entered the art gallery.Didn't they say that the painting was not for sale? It was hanging on the wall just moments ago, yet it was currently in my hands.The next thing I knew, I saw Kayden coming out of the art gallery. I had a bad feeling. Was he the one who bought me the painting?With one hand in his pocket, he came over and looked at me with a tender face, saying, "Lillian, I want you to know that I will give you anything you want, just like in these past three years.""Thank you, but
Lillian's perspective.Since I could not escape, it was better for me to be on top rather than to be pinned under.I was sitting on Ismail's sensitive part, still feeling a little restless. Ismail's body was tense. He stared at me with burning eyes and asked, "Are you sure you want to be on top?"My face was flushed red, but I still nodded and said with a forced smile, "Yes! The doctor said that you need to rest and recover, so I'm willing to do the job for you. And... I heard that the possibility of women getting pregnant is low when they are on top, so we can avoid trouble, hehe..."A hint of evil flashed in Ismail's eyes as he replied, "You are very considerate of me. Come on, let's do it." "Wait, what?" I asked, slightly stunned."Huh? I thought you said that you are willing to do the job?""Oh... Okay..." I came up with an excuse, hoping that he would let me off the hook. I had no idea why said I was willing to do the job for him. So, I had no choice but to do it.In order to av
Lillian's perspective.Early the next morning, I was woken up by someone.I opened my eyes in a daze, only to find that Hazel was standing in front of my bed with an anxious look on her face. I immediately sat up from the bed and asked while rubbing my eyes, "What's wrong? Did something happen? What are you doing here so early?""How are you still sleeping? Take a look at this!" Hazel handed me a newspaper in her hand.I took it and stared with my eyes wide open. A picture of Kayden and I was printed in the newspaper. We looked very intimate.I could tell that those pictures were taken at the art gallery the day before. The pictures were taken at an angle, making the two of us, who were originally not standing close to each other, look like we were having an intimate moment. They even referred to me as Ismail's new wife.I was no longer tired after seeing those photos. I asked exasperatedly, "What the hell is going on?"Hazel shook her head and thought for a moment. She finally said,
Lillian's perspective.After breakfast, Ismail hurried out of the house. I left the Amus family mansion and headed for the coffee shop that I agreed to meet Chloe at.As soon as we met, Chloe looked at me gloatingly and mocked, "Let me guess. You're panicking about the news and you want my help? Let me tell you something. I don't have the time for your crap."I had long been accustomed to her snide words and I did not get angry. I just looked at her seriously and said, "Since you've decided to replace me in three months' time, then my business is your business, isn't it?"Chloe's expression changed slightly. It was obvious that she hadn't thought of that before.Without waiting for Chloe to speak, I continued, "Queen Meylani hasn't read the newspaper yet, so she doesn't know anything about this. However, with Ismail's current popularity, this news is only going to spread wider and she will eventually find out. I don't think you want me to be driven out of the house because of this mat
Lillian's perspective."What did you say?" I asked in horror. "Why did Alpha faint? How is he? Which hospital was he admitted to?"As I was asking those questions, I was already making my way towards the elevator."We're in Hogen Hospital right now, but we're not sure about his current condition." Wade said, "I am not sure what caused him to faint, but this isn't the first time."After receiving the news about Ismail, I decided to skip my appointment. I hurried out of the hospital and hailed a taxi, quickly making my way to Hogen Hospital.As I was sitting in the taxi, I felt incredibly helpless. I cursed myself for choosing a hospital that was located on the west side of the city because Hogen Hospital was on the opposite end. Even if traffic was smooth, it would still take half an hour to get there.Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, I kept looking at my watch and urged, "Sir, can you please drive a little faster? I'm in a hurry. I will pay you extra.""Miss, I need to obey the s
Lillian's perspective."You've taken it for decades, so I'm sure you can do this one more time. Be good and take the medicine." I took out another pill from the drawer and handed it to him along with a glass of plain water, continuing, "I know it doesn't taste good, but you have to take it if you don't feel well. You are going to scare the life out of us if you faint again. Mother is going to be disconcerted."He looked at the pill in my hand and, instead of slapping it away, took it and popped it into his mouth. Seeing him take the pill, I smiled with relief. It was the first time that I felt that perhaps I could sway him a little.Pouring him another glass of warm water, I said with a smile, "The doctor also advised you to drink more water."He accepted the glass and took a sip, asking with a hint of annoyance, "What are you grinning at?""I'm smiling because I think you are so much easier to coax than those little kids." I laughed. "You have no idea how difficult it is to coax the
Lillian's perspective.A look of surprise flashed across her face before she nodded, "Oh, okay. I just finished a surgery. I'm not too busy. Come with me."She smiled at me, turned around, and walked to the rooftop garden at the end of the corridor.I didn't know that there was such a big garden in Hogen Hospital. Scanning around, I saw the beautiful flowers and plants trying to stand out in their own ways. However, I wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so I went straight to the point and asked, "What's wrong with the Alpha? You're a doctor, so you should know what's wrong with him, right?"I refused to believe in curses. I just couldn't bring myself to buy into the whole thing!However, what could explain why Ismail would lose control and hurt people, and then vomit blood?The smile on her face faded away, replaced by a touch of sympathy and helplessness. She replied, "To be honest, doctors haven't been able to diagnose his illness at all.""How could that be?""Everyone asks th
Lillian's perspective."Sorry, I was wrong again." I shrugged again."Has anyone ever told you how much I abhor hospitals? I would have this urge to hurl whenever I smell the disinfectant here. I don't believe in any doctors."Well, no one had ever told me that!"You only have two choices: stay or stay!" Meylani's voice suddenly sounded at the door. She then came in with Helen.Meylani was outraged at the fact that Ismail had fainted and had been hospitalized. As soon as she entered the door, she scolded him with a straight face, "How many times have I told you that money isn't everything? On the other hand, you have only one body. Leave the matter of the army to Seth and your uncle-in-law. I keep on telling you to not overexert yourself, but you never listen to me.""Mother is right," I went up to her, took her arm, and helped her sit on the chair.Before she sat down, she raised her hand and slapped the top of Ismail's head, scolding him, "Rascal! Are you trying to drive me to an ea
