LOGINSlade was so afraid that Daxiel might hit Arya that he immediately ran away with her on his back.Arya, however, seemed completely unaware of the danger. She even turned around and made faces at Daxiel.When they arrived at the parking lot, Slade couldn't tell which car belonged to Daxiel, but then Luciano waved them over.Slade carefully lowered Arya into the back seat before scolding her."Why would you hit him?""I was just taking revenge. He refused to carry me," Arya replied.Luciano blinked.Could she be talking about Daxiel?The moment he saw Daxiel approaching with a dark expression, he immediately knew she was."Arya actually hit Daxiel?"He couldn't help feeling sorry for whatever fate awaited her."What if he hits you back?" Slade asked."He wouldn't," Arya replied quickly.However, her confidence wavered the moment she saw Daxiel getting closer.Slade hurried over to him."I'm sorry for my daughter's actions."Daxiel simply walked past him.Slade could only sigh and return
Daxiel glanced at Slade sharply."Why is that?"Slade could feel the temperature drop, but he still replied,"Arya is not safe by your side. She almost lost her life because of you.""And who saved her?" Daxiel questioned."You might have saved her this time, but what about next time? First it was Nyx, now it's her children. Who knows who will be next?"Daxiel's expression darkened and his eyes narrowed."Finn said something to you."Slade's expression faltered. Daxiel was right.Earlier that day, Slade had gone home to get a change of clothes for Arya before her discharge.As he drove out of his mansion, he saw a figure standing in front of his car with his back facing him.He honked, but the person didn't move.Annoyed, Slade got out of the car."If you want to die, go jump into a river. Don't stand in my way."The words died in his throat when the man turned around."Prince Finn," he muttered.He immediately lowered his head."I apologize. I didn't know it was you."Finn spoke calm
Meanwhile, in another hospital room, Crystal lay on the bed as the doctor examined her, while Luciano sat nearby, watching with concern.After a thorough examination, the doctor finally spoke."Nothing serious."Luciano frowned."How could it be nothing serious? She was having difficulty standing on her own. Did you check the bones?""Yes," the doctor nodded.But Luciano could hear the hesitation in his voice."Is anything broken?" he asked."No. It's only superficial injuries," the doctor explained."That's great," Luciano said with a sigh of relief."I'll prescribe an ointment for the affected area," the doctor added.Luciano nodded."Will she need to be admitted?""There's no need. She can go home," the doctor replied.Luciano glanced at Crystal, who was lying on the bed. She hadn't said a word since the examination ended."Crystal," he called.There was no response.Worried, Luciano moved closer.Only to discover that she had fallen fast asleep."That fast?" he thought.Then he re
Slade immediately left for the bathroom.Daxiel walked over to Arya and sat in front of her. He picked up the spoon and held it out to her.Arya didn't take it."My hands are injured. I can't feed myself. You have to do it," she said.Daxiel glanced at her bruised hands, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes."I really want to kill those three brothers again," his wolf muttered through gritted teeth.Daxiel picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her mouth.Arya refused to open it."What now?" Daxiel muttered irritably."You should blow on it," Arya instructed.Daxiel's gaze darkened."Don't overstep your boundaries.""I'm not. The porridge is hot. It will burn my mouth," Arya replied with an aggrieved look.Daxiel wanted to slam the bowl onto the floor and walk away, but his wolf immediately warned him."Don't you dare. It's the least you owe her."Daxiel gritted his teeth in frustration.Finally, he brought the spoon closer to his lips and blew on i
"Kid," Daxiel muttered.Arya tried to open her eyes.After being plunged into darkness for so long, the sudden intensity of the light made her eyes twitch uncomfortably.She winced in pain."Ugh..."Slade's eyes became teary.His daughter was finally awake.Daxiel raised a hand to block the light from reaching her eyes.Arya's eyes finally opened.Daxiel didn't know when a slight smirk had formed on his face.His wolf breathed a sigh of relief."She's finally awake.""Water," Arya muttered.Her throat was so dry that she felt she might pass out from thirst at any moment.Slade quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to her lips, carefully helping her drink.But Arya took several large gulps and nearly choked.Slade gently patted her back."Easy," he murmured.When Arya had finally had enough, she pushed the glass away.Slade understood immediately and lowered it.Arya rested back against the pillow and closed her eyes weakly.Both Slade and Daxiel were at a loss for what to do.
Back at the hospital, Slade approached Finn once again and begged him to let him go inside.To his surprise, Finn agreed.They had both heard Daxiel's earlier instruction for Finn not to let anyone in, but Slade still decided to try.He looked at Crystal, and she nodded."I'll keep watch for you," she said.Slade gave her an appreciative smile and hurried into the ward.He sat beside Arya's bed. Her eyes were still closed.He let out a heavy sigh and held her hand."When will you wake up, dear?" he murmured.The doctor had said she should wake up within twenty-four hours.Twenty-four hours had already passed.He gently patted her hand."Papa is getting worried."Arya showed no reaction, and Slade could only sit there silently, holding her hand.Meanwhile, outside the ward, Crystal rested her head against the doorframe.Her eyelids felt heavy.She was both exhausted and sleepy.She had stayed beside Arya for more than twenty-four hours.She yawned loudly and covered her mouth."Gosh, A
The next morning, Arya woke up to the call of nature.After washing up and changing into fresh clothes, she headed downstairs.As she descended the staircase, her thoughts drifted to yesterday's barbecue date.To be honest, it hadn't gone exactly as she had imagined. Finn and Luciano had interrupte
The entire garden had been transformed.Strings of golden lights hung from the trees like scattered stars, bathing everything in a warm glow.Lanterns illuminated winding stone pathways, while flowers and candles decorated a long dining table.At the center stood a massive barbecue grill, the rich
The next morning, Daxiel woke up beside Arya.The soft scent of white lilies drifted through the air, filling his senses. His gaze shifted to the girl sleeping peacefully beside him.At some point during the night, she had wrapped herself around him like a koala and refused to let go.Daxiel frowne
The memory struck without warning.Before him stood a grand castle.Servants poured out through the massive gates, tossing trunks, bags, and personal belongings onto the ground. A woman stood protectively before a small boy, shielding him from the barrage.A suitcase slammed against her shoulder.S
