Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All 196. Fearless
Arsen rushed to the hospital accompanied by Lily after receiving the news from Thomas.Upon arriving, Arsen panicked at the sight of Thomas's hand wrapped in bandages.Thomas recounted that the previous night, he had left around eleven-thirty carrying the safe, which a locksmith had finally managed to detach from the wall. He had made sure Rena was safely inside her house before he and the housekeepers departed.However, Thomas suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to take the newspapers found in Raymond's study.Thomas had turned back. It was then that he noticed Rena's front door slightly ajar. Sensing something was wrong, Thomas had stepped inside and found Rena collapsed on the floor between the family room and the living room.Thomas had confronted the burglar, his palm sliced open while deflecting a blade thrust at him."Are you all right?" Arsen looked relieved to see that Thomas wasn't severely injured."I apologize for not informing you right away. I didn't want you to wo

Arsen hurried into Raymond's private study, motioning for the maids to step aside so he could inspect the safe."Now it's just a matter of opening it, Sir." Thomas looked at Arsen, who was crouching down.Arsen kept his eyes fixed on the safe mounted inside the wardrobe."Would you like to try opening it using my father's date of birth?" Rena suggested.Arsen nodded, then rose to his feet. With merely a glance toward Thomas, his secretary promptly took a knee and asked Rena for Raymond's birthday."June fifteenth, nineteen fifty-nine."Thomas tried several combinations of the numbers Rena provided, but to no avail.The safe refused to budge."The battery might be dead; it hasn't been opened for years," Thomas said, glancing up at Arsen."Would you mind if I took the safe with me?" Arsen asked Rena, who stood nearby."It seems I will have to call an expert to crack it open. If that fails, we'll have no choice but to break it open by force," he added.Rena paused, looking thoughtful. "W

Thomas finally opened the door, as he would never dare disobey Arsen's orders.It was pitch-black. Even when the switch was flipped, the light refused to turn on.Arsen stared into the room Thomas had just opened. He forbade Thomas and Rena from entering, concerned that the thick dust and poor ventilation might harm their breathing."Call a professional cleaning service right this second," Arsen instructed Thomas.Thomas hesitated slightly; cleaning services usually had to be booked at least three days in advance. Moreover, on a holiday, many people were bound to be using such services.Thinking on his feet, Thomas dialed one of Arsen's household staff members."Your break is over. Gather several of your colleagues; Mr. Arsen needs you," Thomas said. He then relayed Rena's address so the housekeepers could head over immediately.While waiting for the staff to arrive and help clean, Arsen chose to step outside to call Lily. He felt he needed to let his wife know, as he might return hom

Arsen clenched his fists at his sides."Speak!""I've found a lead. I followed your suggestion to trace every single person who once worked for Mrs. Sarah—Mr. Arya's mother. I finally found a glimmer of light upon looking into the twentieth person," Thomas explained with burning excitement.Arsen listened intently, and Thomas continued."I met with the daughter of one of the men who worked for Mrs. Sarah, a man named Raymond. His daughter said that before her father passed away, he was constantly gripped by fear and severely depressed, repeatedly claiming he had committed a terrible sin," Thomas elaborated.Arsen's brow furrowed faintly."And as it turned out, not only did he work for Mrs. Sarah, but Raymond was actually her confidant. This is straight from his daughter's confession," Thomas continued, laying out all he had discovered."In that case, we must meet her immediately to verify it. Who knows, there might be more leads," Arsen said."That won't be possible right now, Sir. Sh

Arsen silently looked at Adhitama.Silence fell between them.For the first time, Arsen was at a complete loss for words."You must remember that when Lily was little, many people targeted her life. Perhaps my past mistakes and sins were so great that Lily had to bear the consequences," Adhitama said. "You were even stabbed once because you saved her.""I am sorry, because that incident left Lily deeply traumatized," Arsen said with remorse.He was not entirely candid with Adhitama about what he had gone through back then—a time when he had no one to lean on, living in sheer despair.Arsen could not deny that becoming Lily's bodyguard had brought a rare measure of solace into his life.Both Adhitama and Arsen remained quiet, until they heard Lily's voice calling out from outside.Lily had deliberately raised her voice so both Arsen and Adhitama could hear. She paused outside Adhitama's study, peeking her head through the slightly open door."Are you two done talking yet?"Arsen nodded

In the dining room...Lily sat with Risha, enjoying the tea and cakes she had brought along.They chatted about Lily's pregnancy."Are you still experiencing morning sickness often?" Risha asked. "Have you started craving anything yet?""Um... I rarely feel nauseous anymore, Mom," Lily answered, then took a sip of her tea. "Cravings? I'm not sure. It seems our baby isn't too demanding, though lately I just want to cling to my husband all the time.""It's good that it isn't happening too often now," Risha replied. "What kind of craving is that anyway? Mom is certain that's merely your excuse—I know very well how completely whipped you are over Arsen."Lily laughed, her cheeks instantly flushing crimson with embarrassment."So, when is your next check-up scheduled?" Risha asked next."Next week," Lily answered."Oh... right, I heard Monica was hospitalized." A trace of sorrow flickered across Risha's face. Even though her relationship with Monica had grown strained, there was no denying
