Lillian's POV:"You were busy talking trash about me; of course you wouldn't be able to hear me come in.""I wasn't..." I lowered my head guiltily.Fortunately, he seemed like he did not hear the earlier part of the conversation, which meant that he still had no idea that I was pregnant."I never knew you were hiding so many grievances in your heart when you married me," Ismail said with a mocking smile."It's good that you know now," I muttered.Although my voice was low, Ismail still heard me. He raised the corner of his mouth and then said, "I think your friend is right. You asked for all this, so you have to bear the consequences no matter how wronged you feel"I'm already very patient," I said.Ismail was satisfied with my reply. He placed the thermos flask in his hands on the table and said, "Helen made some chicken soup for you. Drink it while it's still hot.""Thank you." I struggled to get out of bed.When Ismail saw me struggling, he asked, "Where are you going?""I... need
Lillian's POV:"You've finally thought it through?" I smiled."Yes," Ismail sat up. He took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, smoke instantly swirling around him.I remembered that he did smoke, but not often. The last time he smoked was because of Miss Moonshine. At the moment, he was smoking again because of her and he even brought out an entire pack of cigarettes.The gloom on his face was faintly discernible.I sat up from my bed and tapped at the sign where it said "No smoking". Then I reached out and put out the cigarette between his fingers.Although it was an ordinary ward and I was alone, the doctor said that he could not smoke. Therefore, I wasn't going to allow him to smoke for the sake of his health."I'm sorry, I forgot," Ismail said apologetically."Well, you don't have to smoke when you're upset. You can always..." I comforted her with a smile."Drink?" Seeing that I was hesitating, Ismail finished my sentence."Of course not." I could not think of another
Third person POV:Helen watched as Ismail's car left the driveway. She said with a smile, "Madam, I never expected that Ismail would listen to you and personally pick Luna up from the hospital."Queen Meylani withdrew her eyes and turned around. She said while staring at Helen, "Why do you think he suddenly became so obedient? Could it be that he is playing some tricks on me? Do you think.... he is secretly interacting with that Miss Moonshine lady?""I don't think so." Helen thought for a bit. "I talked to Katrina this morning. She told me that Ismail has been busy with work for the past two days. After leaving work, he would go to the hospital to accompany Luna. He hasn't been in contact with any women.""This is strange..." Queen Meylani muttered to herself.Helen laughed. "Madam, I realised that Alpha's and Luna's relationship has indeed improved quite a bit after returning from Yorktown. That should be the reason why he is willing to listen to you, right?""Yet, he still went aft
Third person POV:As soon as Katrina returned from the client company, she saw Lillian, who was in a daze on the sidewalk. She gently stepped on the brake and parked the car on the side of the road. She rolled down the window and called out to her.However, Lillian did not react in the slightest, as if she had tuned out the surrounding noise.Katrina had no choice but to start the car again and drive towards Dawn Army.She went straight up to the top floor, handed the file in her hand to Ismail and said respectfully, "Alpha, the contract has been signed. Please have a look.""Just leave it on my table. I'll check later." Ismail was busy replying to an email and did not even raise his head."Well... Alpha, can I talk to you about something personal?" Katrina asked hesitantly. There was a rule in the company that no private affairs could be discussed during working hours. Besides, it was not a big deal, so it was not necessary to tell him."Didn't I tell you that you don't have to look
Lillian's POV:During dinner, even though the swelling on my cheeks had reduced and the redness had faded, Queen Meylani could still tell something was amiss. She asked with concern, "Lillian, what happened to your face?"I touched my cheek and shook my head. "Nothing, it's probably some allergy.""What are you allergic to? Have you applied medicine?""It's probably because of the recent cold weather. Yes, I've already applied the medicine." I lowered my head guiltily.Although Queen Meylani treated me well for the child's sake, I still felt a little guilty because sooner or later, I would have to terminate the pregnancy.I could not imagine what kind of reaction Queen Meylani would have when she found out that I had gotten rid of the baby. Would she be so angry that she would strangle me to death?"What's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?" Queen Meylani glanced at me."No, it's not like that." I shook my head and lowered my head to eat.It was better to talk about these things at a
Lillian's POV:"How sure are you that we'll definitely break up?" A cold voice suddenly sounded behind me.My body tensed up and I froze on the spot.Kayden did not expect Ismail to come out of nowhere. He smiled awkwardly at Ismail and said, "Hey, Ismail."Ismail walked to my side with a slight smile on his lips and my coat in his arms. He gently put his arm around my shoulder while glancing at Kayden. "I'm asking you a question. How sure are you that we will definitely break up?"Kayden opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly. "I heard that... you and Lillian don't get along, so...""Is that why you think that she and I will break up?""I'm sorry..." Kayden rubbed his hands uneasily and smiled at me. Then, he said, "I just happened to meet Lillian here. I was just making small talk. If there's nothing else, I'll go first. Goodbye."After that, Kayden turned and left the cinema.Although Kayden left, I still did not move.Ismail looked down at me and asked coldly, "Are you going to giv
Lillian's POV:"Yes, yes, I understand," Mira immediately replied.Queen Meylani looked exhausted. She stood up from the sofa and was ready to go back to her room to get some rest when she said, "You can accompany your mother upstairs to have a private talk. I want to go back to my room and lie down, so I won't disturb you.""Your Majesty." Mira hurriedly stopped her. Queen Meylani sat back on the sofa and glanced at her. "Do you need anything else?""Here's the thing." Mira once again wrapped her arms around mine. She smiled as she looked at Queen Meylani and said, "I can tell that Chloe is unhappy staying in this mansion, so I was thinking of bringing her home to the Rosenburg family for a few months. The mood of a pregnant woman will affect the growth of the foetus. I only have one precious daughter. Of course, I hope that she will give birth to a beautiful and healthy baby. That's why I want to..."Queen Meylani looked at me and then at Mira. She said somewhat unhappily, "You say
Lillian's POV:"That's right, you can't keep this baby!" Mira walked in and stood beside Chloe. "Lillian, don't think that we don't know what you're up to. If this baby turns out to be a boy, you're going to use him as a bargaining chip. By then, Chloe's future will be ruined.""I promise that if you let me keep this baby, I will never step into this city ever again.""I don't believe you!" Mira said as she walked towards the desk. She picked up the cheque on the desk and tore it into pieces. She sneered and said, "The gold and silver jewellery that the Amus family has given her is worth more than this cheque. In the end, everything belongs to Chloe. You don't have to waste your money."Jadir frowned and said in a warning tone, "Mira, watch it." Mira sneered. "What's wrong? Do you pity her? Why do you feel sorry for an outsider?"Jadir was helpless and could only shut his mouth.Mira turned to me, gritted her teeth, and said, "Don't try to change your mind. We're going to the hospita
