Chapter 30

"Are you feeling okay?" Aron asked.

Right after work, he had gone straight to Hilda's house upon learning she was sick. He came carrying a basket of fruits and a box of her favorite donuts.

"I'm feeling much better now, don’t worry," Hilda replied, raising one arm in mock strength. She smiled down at Aron, who was sitting on the floor by her bedside, his eyes filled with concern.

"You’re pushing yourself too hard. Please, just rest and get well soon, okay?"

Hilda smiled softly and patted Aron's head. "I’ll be fine. Promise."

She shifted on the bed and tapped the mattress beside her. "Come on, sit with me."

"You haven’t been sleeping, have you? Look at those dark circles under your eyes."

Aron was visibly flustered, his face turning red. “You really shouldn’t invite men into your bed so casually…”

“Huh? You’re my friend.”

Aron fell silent.

Laughing, Hilda patted the space beside her again. “I don’t have a guest bed. The house is small.”

Aron sighed and sat on the edge of the

    Chapter 39 "Fairies!" Peri exclaimed with delight as Hilda and Beryl stepped out of the dressing room, both wearing vibrant red dresses. Arthur froze in place, his gaze fixed on the two girls who now stood before him—two of the most important people in his life."Mama! You look like the fairies from the books!" Peri clapped gleefully as he looked up at the pair, laughter bubbling in his voice."What do you think, Art?" Hilda twirled in front of Arthur, the hem of her dress flaring gracefully. She asked him with a shy smile if the red dress suited her.Arthur's expression softened. "You look stunning but i like the best if you dont wear anything—"Hilda immediately slapped a hand over his mouth, her face turning crimson. "What were you about to say?""I'm just joking," Arthur chuckled, holding her wrist lightly.After shopping for dresses, they headed straight to the playground. Beryl immediately ran off to the slide, with Peri right behind her. Around them, other families were enjoyi

    Chapter 38“What are you planning to do after transferring your position to Aron?” Hilda asked as she scratched the back of her head, walking while holding Peri’s hand.Arthur admitted that he hadn’t really thought that far ahead. It wasn’t like money was a problem—he had several businesses locally and abroad that earned billions monthly.He looked at Hilda and the two children walking beside them.“Maybe we should just buy a house in the Philippines and stay there for good,” he said casually.Hilda stopped in her tracks and turned to him, eyes wide in disbelief. “Are you serious?” she asked.Arthur nodded. He said it would be good for him to finally step away from the organization. It was time to settle down, especially now that he had children.He gestured toward the twins. Hilda didn’t know what to feel in that moment. Was it okay to expect more? Was it okay to be greedy?She could only stare at Arthur, who was now watching the twins sit on the ground, looking curiously at somethin

    Chapter 37Hilda immediately approached and suddenly hugged the twins. Startled, the two instinctively pushed her away—thankfully, Arthur was quick enough to catch her.“Beryl! Peri!” Arthur called out in alarm, prompting the children to jump in surprise. Hilda clutched Arthur's arm and gave a faint smile.“I think I startled them… It’s okay,” Hilda said from where she sat on the floor. She had been easily knocked down—the twins were still small, but her body remained weak from recovery.“Sorry,” the little boy mumbled. Hilda looked at him, her eyes softening at the sight of his tear-filled gaze.“Don’t cry. I’m okay. My heart breaks whenever I see a cute little boy like you crying—especially when you look just like Art,” Hilda said gently. The boy pressed his lips together, struggling not to cry. Hilda chuckled, causing Beryl’s expression to soften slightly.She had such a lovely smile and laugh, just as Arthur had once told them.“Can you stand up?” Arthur asked.Hilda shook her hea

    Chapter 36Arthur asked Hilda if she had anything she wanted to ask him.After finishing the soup Arthur had prepared, Hilda placed the bowl back on the tray and took the glass of milk he handed her.“Like what?” Hilda asked, cradling the warm glass between her palms as she gently blew on it.She was still weak, but it was nothing compared to earlier.“I think I’ve learned enough... heard enough... while I was asleep,” she whispered. “I don’t want to complicate things anymore. Because honestly, nothing’s going to change, anyway.”Arthur pressed his lips into a tight line. He had kept everything from Hilda—especially the truth about the children.Hilda couldn’t bring herself to be angry or question him, not after everything he’d done for her.Now that she was awake and saw Arthur right in front of her, she couldn’t help but wonder—was this really the same man who once brought her to that place and introduced her to Aron just to die? Was he the same Art who was once her mission partner,

    Chapter 35“Young lady! Don’t run!”Khan chased after the little girl giggling as she hugged her favorite teddy bear. Not far behind, a little boy stood still, clutching his favorite rattle while watching them with wide eyes.Because of the girl’s boundless energy and mischievous nature, Aoi, Khan, and Nari constantly found themselves struggling to keep up. Every time she ran off or hid somewhere, they were thrown into a panic.“Ivoly, I want to walk,” the little boy requested gently.Ivory let him down but kept a firm grip on his hand. He could see the boy's longing as he watched his sister running freely and playing tag with Aoi. But the boy had a weak constitution and a congenital heart condition—he wasn’t allowed to exert himself.“Peri, look! I found a grasshopper!”Because of his peridot-green eyes, Arthur had nicknamed the boy Peridot, while the girl was dubbed Beryl. They couldn’t keep calling them “young master” and “young lady” forever.Peridot clung to Ivory’s leg, startled

    Chapter 34Days turned into weeks. Weeks into months. Yet nothing changed with Hilda’s condition.No one could stop their leader from killing every doctor who stepped into her room—especially when all of them said the same thing.Gabriel watched silently, troubled, as another group of doctors was carried out—lifeless.He entered the room and saw their leader standing at the center, blood-stained katana in hand, his clothes soaked in blood.Hilda remained unconscious in bed. Beside her, Khan gently wiped her hands with a damp towel as if everything were normal.Since the failed mission, the four had refused to accept new assignments. They stayed by Hilda’s side, silently guarding her.“Padrino,” Gabriel called.Arthur stood motionless, his face dark, gaze fixed on the sword he was gripping tightly.“You can’t keep killing every doctor that enters this room,” Gabriel said firmly. “Miss Hilda’s life—and her baby’s—depend on them.”Arthur stilled at those words and glanced at the woman ly
