"Darling, when I come home, should I pick you up from the hospital?"

"No need, I'll bring my own car," replied Aurora on the other side.

"Or how about we go for dinner together tonight? It's been a while since we went out for a romantic dinner."

"Sorry, tonight is not possible. There's a patient who just gave birth. The baby is in critical condition and needs monitoring. So, the specialist and I have to be on standby. It seems like I'll be coming home a bit late tonight. Maybe some other time."

"Alright then. Just make sure to come home safely. Let me know when you're done. I'll wait for you at home."

After ending the call with his wife, Alex seemed to take a deep breath repeatedly. A sudden tightness gripped his chest as he faced the cold attitude Aurora displayed.

Since getting caught bringing another woman to their bed, Aurora's behavior had changed drastically. Despite forgiving and giving a second chance, she seemed unwilling to be approached or even touched.

    The black Audi that Alex was driving pulled into the Medika Hospital courtyard. Spotting Aurora standing in front of the lobby, he pulled over. He hurriedly got out, opening the door and gesturing for his wife to enter before taking her to his parents' second residence.Tonight, there was a scheduled visit and gathering with the extended Wildblood family. Whatever the occasion, Alex and Aurora were obliged to attend.If she could be honest, Aurora was personally reluctant to participate in the large family gatherings held by her mother-in-law. Not because she didn't want to socialize or blend in, but simply due to laziness, as it would inevitably become a topic of discussion and gossip, as it always did."If you feel uncomfortable or don't want to attend, I can turn back."In the middle of the journey, realizing Aurora's discomfort, Alex dared to reach for her wrist, which was initially resting on her thigh, and gently held it. Glancing briefly, he then urged his wife to compromise be

    “Forgiving, letting go, and then giving a second chance after the betrayal you've endured is 'another next level' in the marriage you're currently going through.”Rayyen's words of profound meaning that he once uttered were truly fitting for Aurora. After being blatantly betrayed and cheated on by her husband, the woman of Arab descent forgave and generously gave Alex Wildblood a second chance.Initially, Aurora also wanted to retaliate or teach Alex a lesson. However, seeing his sincerity and the gradual, total change in his attitude, Aurora's heart eventually melted."Even though you don't have any children with Alex, you can easily free yourself from that toxic man, Aurora."Almost every day, Velia never got tired of provoking. She was annoyed by the foolish and naive decision that Aurora had made."Enough, Velia. Let this be my family matter. Besides, you can easily ask me for a divorce because you're not the one involved in this relationship and issue. I'm sure there are many wom

    If we look at Alex's behavior, gestures, and everything he does to Aurora, everyone would surely think that the man has truly changed. He might even regret the foolish actions he once took.Initially, Alex was indeed very committed. Even when ignored, he still tried to show all the attention, actions, and sweet gestures to slowly melt Aurora's heart.For heaven's sake, Alex regrets it. He even promised. He also swore to himself not to waste the precious opportunity given by Aurora.However, a promise is just a promise. It's not difficult for God to test by turning hearts upside down.Coinciding with one afternoon when Alex had just finished a meeting with a client at a restaurant, unexpectedly Nicole approached. After repeatedly being deliberately ignored and avoided, the beautiful and sexy woman boldly followed, then approached Alex when there was a chance."We need to talk seriously, Alex."Nicole clearly blocked his way. She didn't let Alex leave her behind for a moment."What else

    "I've had breakfast, Darling. I'm getting ready while waiting for the pickup."In the morning, Alex was seen chatting with Aurora over the phone. As usual, he provided updates on what he was doing while they were apart."I've also arrived at the hospital. I'll start visiting patients' rooms soon and then move on to the pediatric ward.""Okay, then you just continue working for now. I'll call you during my break. And, what do you want as a souvenir? Tomorrow, before I come home, I'll make sure to get something.""No need. I don't need any souvenirs. What matters is that you arrive safely, that's more than enough.""Alright then. I'll head to the lobby now. We'll continue our chat during my work break."Ending his call with Aurora, Alex smiled. He turned to find Nicole cuddling intimately in his arms.Who said Alex was working today? The man was still lying in bed. Under the covers and in a loving embrace with a woman who was clearly his wife's cousin."You're really good at lying," Nic

    Aurora was taken aback for a while. At her home, while in the TV room waiting for Alex to return from Singapore, she sat on the couch. She tried hard to recall yesterday's events at the hospital.Somehow, there was a suffocating feeling enveloping her. After years of not seeing each other, suddenly Alden reappeared without permission and managed to stir Aurora's heart and mind."Do you still remember me, right?"That was the first question that came out of Alden's mouth when they met at the hospital. After all, how could Aurora forget about the man who once filled her heart in the past?Alden was her first love, the most beautiful one, and one Aurora would never forget. The separation between them was just a big mistake that Aurora had made."I promise I'll only be gone for a while. After completing my education and obtaining a specialist degree in Cardiovascular Medicine, I'll come back immediately to propose and marry you."Aurora remembered clearly the promise Alden once made when

    "So Dr. Alden is your ex-boyfriend?" Aurora immediately scowled. Thanks to Asher's careless remark in the doctor's lounge yesterday, almost everyone in the hospital now knew that she had once been in a relationship with Alden."Dr. Alden, if you hadn't broken up with Dr. Aurora, maybe now she would be my sister-in-law and leading Santa Monica Hospital."If there weren't so many people around, Aurora felt like pulling Asher's ear or pinching him hard to stop him from talking nonsense. Aurora knew her brother did it on purpose."Aurora?" Velia called again."Yeah," Aurora lazily replied."Did you hear my question or not?""Yeah. He used to be my boyfriend. Are you satisfied?"Velia laughed. She enjoyed seeing Aurora looking annoyed like this."Why didn't you just marry Dr. Alden? I mean, he's pretty handsome. Judging by his looks, he must come from a wealthy family too, right?"Aurora nodded."Yeah. But, no matter what, we're just not meant to be together. That's why we broke up and now

    Aurora couldn't hold back her nervousness. As she walked down the hospital corridor, her heart pounded erratically. After all, earlier Alden had just invited her to lunch. But why was she feeling so awkward about it now?"Don't be ridiculous, Aurora! You're already married."Aurora kept repeating that sentence to herself as she got into the car. She sat for a moment. Taking a deep breath and rubbing her chest, moments later she muttered to herself again."Remember! You already have Alex."Aurora nodded. She raised her hand in the air, then clenched it into a fist. Acting like someone giving herself encouragement."Alden is just the past. Yes, he's just a man from the past that you don't need to think about."Aurora kept nodding. But, shortly after, Velia and Asher's words danced in her mind, mocking her."If only you had been more patient back then. Surely, Alden would be your husband now, not that jerk Alex. And most importantly, there wouldn't be any infidelity drama in your marriag

    "Why the long face? What's the matter? I've noticed you've been quiet since yesterday."Velia looked puzzled. Currently, she was with Aurora in the hospital cafeteria, enjoying their lunch break.Since earlier, when she tried to engage in conversation, Aurora had been more silent than usual. Usually, Aurora was always chatty and enthusiastic. That's why Velia was convinced there must be something going on with her friend."Tell me if there's a problem. It's not good to keep it to yourself. Even if I can't provide a solution. At least, I can help lighten the mood as usual."Aurora frowned even more. Annoyed, she pinched Velia's arm a little too hard."Ouch!" Velia complained genuinely. She truly felt the pain. Judging from her expression, Aurora was genuinely irritated."Let it be! Besides, instead of comforting me, you're making me more upset.""How am I supposed to comfort you? I don't even know why you're sulking. So, spill it, Aurora, you're the daughter of Mr. Joshua Harperwood. I

Elenna asked Aurora ov

He even cried softly as he accompanied Aurora for an hour through the childbirth process.Since Aurora's condition was stable and optimal, she delivered through a normal process as planned. Step by step, following Alissa's instructions, Aurora tried to comply.While tightly holding Alden's hand, Aurora tried to complete the childbirth process. Until finally, the little angel they and perhaps the entire extended family awaited, was born safely, and her cry immediately filled the delivery room."Congratulations Aurora, Dr. Alden. The babies were born safely and healthy. The first one is a girl, and the second one is a boy. Their conditions are stable, and there's nothing to worry about."Indeed, Aurora gave birth to twins today. Since entering the three-month pregnancy mark, Alissa had ensured that Aurora's pregnancy was indeed twins.

Although initially she had to go through bed rest several times and even experienced severe morning sickness, Aurora didn't complain at all. She went through it all with joy and happiness.During the first three months of her pregnancy, Aurora had to rest and not work at all. Honestly, she felt a bit bored having to spend all her time at home.Fortunately, Velia often visited the house bringing various kinds of food. She would engage in gossip and talk about anything to keep Aurora from feeling bored.Similarly, Elenna and Zendaya, these two middle-aged women also took turns visiting. They were so excited about Aurora's pregnancy that they came almost every day. And sometimes they even stayed overnight just to accompany and spend time with Aurora.Moreover, Alden also helped a lot.

    Alden dashed to the emergency room when he heard the news that Aurora had passed out. Upon reaching the front of the room, he found Velia and Asher already standing there, waiting.Alden approached, wanting to ensure his wife's condition for himself. Despite faithfully waiting all along, he hadn't noticed anything strange about her all day. Now, he couldn't believe that Aurora had fainted like this out of the blue. If he had known something was wrong, he would have been the first to tell her to rest."Asher... Velia," Alden called out, his face still marked with worry. "How's Aurora? What happened? Why did she suddenly faint like this?"Asher shook his head, also unsure of what caused his sister to lose consciousness. Then Alden turned to Velia, who answered his curiosity."I think Aurora's just exhausted, Doc. Since this afternoon, I've noticed her looking a bit pale. She complained about back pain and seemed really tired, constantly moving from the second floor to the ground floor."

    Alden just got home around eight o'clock at night. A bit worried, the man strode quickly towards the bedroom. He had been trying to reach Aurora since earlier, but instead of getting a response, it seemed like his wife was intentionally ignoring him.Alden had asked Velia, his colleague, who said that Aurora had been home since late afternoon. Also, confirming Aurora's presence through the house assistant, they confirmed that the lady had indeed been home since then.What puzzled Alden was why Aurora was ignoring him. Was his wife busy? Resting? Or perhaps angry and upset with him?That's why Alden wanted to make sure. Rushing into the room, he found Aurora sitting on the edge of the bed, her head bowed. Faintly, he could hear sobbing coming from her."Sweetheart..."Alden quickly approached. With a puzzled feeling, he sat down in front of his wife."What's wrong?" he asked with concern, clearly anxious. Afraid that something bad might have happened to her."Why are you crying like th

    Aurora sighed wearily as she stared at the pregnancy test she held. The two red lines she had been hoping for seemed nowhere in sight, despite her numerous efforts.She wondered how many times she had tried this. It had been almost six months since she married Alden, but signs of pregnancy had yet to appear.Honestly, Aurora had been worried. There was a fear lurking in her mind that the rumors about her difficulty in conceiving might be true."Don't judge Alex. Who knows, maybe you also have difficulty getting pregnant or having children," Aurora remembered Savana's words vividly. Although they were long ago and she had initially dismissed them, recalling them now felt painful. Perhaps this was the curse Savana had given her."Just wait until after you get married. I'm sure you'll also have difficulty having children. So, don't think you're so great by blaming Alex as the reason you don't have offspring and eventually your marriage falls apart," Savana had said.Yet, Alden had tried

    Alden was sure he was dreaming. Not wanting to lose that beautiful moment, Alden half-consciously pulled his blanket back. He held onto it tightly while praying not to wake up from his sleep. Truly, he wanted to enjoy the joy of life when called with endearing terms that delighted the ears.However, as his consciousness gradually faded, this time Alden felt something warm touching his lips. Opening his eyes slowly, he found Aurora, who had just finished unraveling a kiss, then smiled sweetly right in front of his face."Wake up, my dear husband. They said today we're going to pick up Mom and then accompany her to a charity event. You haven't forgotten, right?"Alden nodded. The man smiled."Yeah. I haven't forgotten. But, by the way, who was it that called me 'my dear husband'? Was it you? Or was I just dreaming?"Aurora sighed. She pinched Alden's cheek fondly. Hoping that he would realize he wasn't dreaming."That wasn't a dream, my dear husband. But yes, it was me who called you."

    For a whole week, honeymooning was the most enjoyable and unforgettable experience in Alden's life."By God, every day and every second he spent in Switzerland with Aurora was the most enjoyable, and he didn't want to forget it in the slightest."Alden even vowed to make a routine agenda to spend more time with Aurora after this. Whether it's vacationing abroad or just exploring a few cities domestically, Alden didn't care. What mattered was quality time, spending time with his wife to refresh their minds from the busy schedules or activities they engaged in every day.Upon returning from their honeymoon to Switzerland, Alden immediately took Aurora to their new home. Two days later, they even held a celebration and invited the extended family to enjoy dinner together."The house is really nice. Definitely not cheap. Especially since all the furniture is brand new," praised Rayyen, who came this evening with his wife and children."Yeah, for real. It's spacious and totally my style,"
