It turned out that Alex had prepared a special room for Grandma.
“Welcome, Mrs. Dunne. This is a room specially designed for your intensive care.” Albert, the butler, invited them to get inside.
“Woah…” Aria admired it all around. It was as big as their master bedroom, but on the left side of the door, there was a lot of medical equipment that had been prepared neatly and sterilized. Several oxygen cylinders were also there neatly lined up.
Even though the room was transformed into a hospital room, it still looked comfortable and not scary at all, at least for her.
"Grandma, do you want me to help you to the bathroom?" Aria asked her.
“No, no need my dear. I feel like a cripple in a wheelchair like this. My legs can do their job.” Grandma grumbled and Aria laughed.
“Okay, okay….” Aria helped Grandm
Aria poured warm milk into a glass with a blank stare. Karl patted her on the shoulder and she came to her senses before all the milk spilled onto the table.“Sorry…” Aria put the glass of milk on a tray and wiped clean the table.“Karl, what happened to my husband? Is he hurt?” Her question made Karl lose focus and he accidentally touched the hot frying pan.“Ouch!”“What happened?” Aria jolted and snapped her head at him when she heard his yelp.She rushed to him when he put his burning skin under the flowing water on the sink."Are you alright?" Aria asked looking at him worriedly.Karl nodded and laughed embarrassedly, “Well, I look very unprofessional, don't I? I'm sorry, Madam. This doesn't happen often.” Karl immediately took the ointment from one of the kitchen dra
Aria watched Alex’s cousin's skilled hands stitching up Alex's wound. She put on new gloves and treated Alex's wounds carefully."My name is Dara, I am this ice-cold guy’s cousin and also his personal doctor who is always ready at any time my asshole cousin calls for me to work." Dara introduced herself, with not-so-family-friendly words, while stitching up Alex's wound.“Like right now, I was dancing with my boyfriend at the club, and boom! Here I am, treating this Mr. Stubborn’s wound.” Aria looked at Dara embarrassedly. She had thought they did bad things back then."I'm Aria..." She said softly. She looked at her fingers that intertwined with Alex’s. It was as if her husband thought she would leave at any time. So he gripped her tight enough and placed their hands on his lap."I know." Dara took a deep breath and cut the thread carefully. "It's a shame I couldn't attend your wedding. My new boyfriend is so..so…” She tried to find the word with her fingers twirled beside her head.
"Raise your hand a little, can you?"Alex raised his hand so that his wife could wipe clean the side of his body. Aria was very careful not to get the wound on his stomach wet.The wound, which had been stitched neatly, was about ten centimeters across his lower abdomen on the upper left side of his waist."Be careful, it will get wet." She wiped his hands with a small towel that had been dampened with warm water and soap.Alex obeyed everything his wife said. His face was expressionless as usual, but inside his head, he was cheering happily and smiling triumphantly.This is what it's like to have a wife, he thought.At first, he wanted to bathe himself. Showering in warm to hot almost boiling water when he was injured was normal and didn't hurt him at all. Usually, he didn't care if the wound took a long time to dry because he didn't care and didn't bother with it. But now it’s different. He looked at his lovely wife’s worried face.Aria kept telling him how to keep his injuries from
Aria waved her hands excitedly when she saw Conni outside her flower shop.“Aria!” Conni saw her and immediately ran towards her.“Oh my God! Aria! How are you?” They hug each other. Aria hugged her and patted her back."I am fine, how about you?"They let go of the warm hug and Conni wiped her tears. "I'm fine, well, you see, now that you're no longer here, I'm really having a hard time handling our customers' orders." She smiled warmly. She was relieved when she saw her again.Not without reason, Conni was actually so worried when Aria never contacted her again. The negative thoughts that haunted her when she didn't hear from Aria felt even more real knowing that she was married to a legendary mafia boss with all the stories of his cruelty and the crime he committed against his own family.But it turned out this beautiful young woman was fine. She looked even prettier, fresher, and radiant than usual. Conni stared at her and realized that her skin was healthier, her long hair shinin
“Aria, my dear sister, please have a seat.” Jasmine stood up to greet her. Aria stepped into the private dining room, which was very strange for her to come to a place like this. It was her first time going to a place like this. She didn’t feel comfy at all.She looked at Jasmine with a strange feeling. This crazy woman, she didn't usually act like this, she's too friendly, all of this was suspicious.This room had a very authentic Chinese cultural design. There were cherry tree ornaments on the walls and a very large round glass window opposite the door. In the middle of the room, there was a dining table and chairs made of wood.Here there were only the two of them. She didn't see anyone else.She sat across from Jasmine. They looked very awkward and Aria hadn't said anything.Actually, she wanted to come because Alex also told her to ask what Jasmine wanted to say. Her husband also told her that everything was safe and she didn't need to worry, they just needed a little information
"I didn't kill her... No, she is still alive.. I didn't kill her..."Jasmine repeatedly said this while shaking Aria's unconscious body. Blood flowed from her head, making Jasmine even more afraid to see the dark red liquid from her step-sister’s head.She didn't know if it was because she was afraid and nervous, her steps felt very slower, as her eyes also felt so heavy.She admitted she's gone too far now. She didn't mean to hit Aria like this, all of this had deviated from her original plan.She intended to entertain Aria and expose Alex's crimes so that she would be afraid of him and stay away from him because Jasmine knew Aria really hated violence. She is also a weak and timid person. So if Aria walked out of Alex's life, she thought, she could take him back.She had prepared a sedative in Aria's glass, which would make her fall asleep and be unconscious for some time. At the same time, she had also paid three men to molest her.But she never meant to hurt her directly like this
Aria smiled as she entered her grandmother's room. She looked neat and a nurse was painstakingly combing her hair."Are you going anywhere?" Aria asked as she walked over to her and sat down on the bed.Grandma looked at her with wide eyes and she seemed relieved. She stretched out her hand to Aria and Aria took it, hugging her tightly."I'm glad you're okay." She patted Aria's back gently."Of course I'm fine. What does Grandma think of me?" She wiggled her eyebrows at her."Bad girl! Look what happened to your head! You always get hurt when dealing with them." Grandma wiped her tears. Aria fell silent and pursed her lips.The nurse who was still there with them had finished her duties and excused herself from the room.Aria nodded and smiled at her kindly. "Thank you, nurse."When the door was closed, Aria and Grandma started talking again."Yesterday, when I looked for you, they told me what happened." Grandma looked very worried, Aria took her hand and patted it gently."See? You
A loud laugh came from Alexander's office.And of course, it was Kiel's laughing voice. Meanwhile, Alex was still checking some documents on his desk, Kiel was laughing his ass off looking at his laptop screen."I can't believe they tried to pay our men to stop Jasmine's video." Kiel wiped his tears, he thought this was very funny."Does Giovanni still not know that we were the ones who spread the video?" He asked more to himself."Did he call? No? Then No." Alex said indifferently."He didn't know and didn't suspect something like this? I wonder why he could become mayor." Kiel chuckled in surprise then laughed."He's stupid," Alex commented again."Who's stupid?"Both of them turned to see Aria who was already in front of the door which had been slightly open from the start. She appeared to be holding two bowls in her hands.Kiel scratched his head which didn't itch, "No, we just....""Your father." Alex didn't mince his words and Kiel choked. He stared wide-eyed at Alex whose mouth
