The next day.

Lily was getting ready to go out with Arsen. She was putting on her shoes when she saw Arsen come out of the walk-in closet, already neatly dressed.

"Where are we actually going?" Lily asked, as Arsen hadn't told her their destination yet.

"You'll see later," Arsen replied while buttoning the cuff of his plain shirt.

A faint crease appeared on Lily's forehead. She hoped Arsen wasn't taking her somewhere weird.

"Let's go!" Arsen said when he saw Lily had finished putting on her sho

    A few moments later, the doctor finally came to Lily's inpatient room bringing the ultrasound machine just as Arsen requested.The doctor looked hesitant; in his entire life working as an obstetrician, he had never once felt pressured like this while conducting an examination.The doctor began the pregnancy checkup by touching the ultrasound probe to Lily's lower abdomen. His hand slid the device slowly with his gaze fixed on the monitor."The fetus is normal for its age, the length and weight are also appropriate," the doctor explained.Arsen and the others watched the monitor. They saw a small, bean-shaped shadow in a large circle there."At a very young gestational age, it is best to avoid stress and not do heavy work," the doctor explained.The doctor also told Lily what she was allowed and not allowed to do during this first trimester of pregnancy."What about the dizziness that made her faint? Is that normal?" Arsen asked."It is normal due to hormonal changes and significant bo

    At the hospitalLily let Risha talk a lot about pregnancy. She occasionally asked about things she didn't understand."You can ask your obstetrician more clearly later," Risha said.Lily smiled, then nodded and touched the surface of her stomach.At that moment, the door to Lily's hospital room opened, making Lily and Risha turn their heads at the same time."Papa," Lily whispered softly.She looked at Adhitama, who arrived with teary eyes.Lily cried again when Adhitama approached and immediately hugged her."You are alright, right?" Adhitama whispered into Lily's ear."I am fine, Papa will have a grandchild soon," Lily replied.Adhitama rubbed Lily's back while nodding. He slowly loosened his hug and then stroked Lily's cheek."Take care of your health," Adhitama said.Lily remained silent, trying to read Adhitama's mind.Why was Adhitama acting normal?Wasn't what Adhitama had been trying to cover up all this time finally exposed?"Papa must already know that....""Arsen acknowledg

    Lily smiled awkwardly. She put her phone back on the nightstand and then looked at Arsen with a pitiful face."I am curious about what is happening outside, how many people already know that we are married," Lily said.Arsen approached and then sat on Lily's bed. He looked at Lily's still-flat stomach, then shifted his gaze to his little wife's face."Don't think about that. There is no need to care even if there is a lot of gossip out there later. Right now, just focus on your health and our baby." Arsen spoke very gently.Lily nodded; she opened her right arm, which was not connected to the IV tube."I want a hug!" she asked affectionately.Arsen laughed, then moved closer and pulled Lily's body into his embrace."What do you want to eat? Don't pregnant women often ask for weird things?" Arsen whispered with a happy smile on his face.Outside the room.Risha walked quickly down the hospital corridor toward Lily's inpatient room.Upon arriving at Lily's inpatient room, Risha saw Lily

    Lily slowly opened her eyes; she felt her whole body go weak, even feeling as though her body were floating in the air.Lily turned to the side; her eyes instantly welled up with tears seeing Arsen asleep in a sitting position near her.Lily's tears fell; she hadn't had the chance to wipe them when Arsen suddenly woke up and looked at her.Arsen was startled; he leaned his body closer to Lily and gently stroked his wife's head."Does anything hurt?" he asked, seeing Lily crying.Arsen was about to press the bell on the side of the hospital bed to call the nurse, but Lily stopped him first."I am fine, I want it to be just the two of us first."Lily smiled seeing Arsen obey her by moving his hand away from the bell.She squeezed Arsen's fingers back when the man intertwined their fingers."What time is it?" Lily asked."One in the morning," Arsen replied. He kissed the back of Lily's hand, then showed a smile on his handsome face."Thank you," Arsen said.Lily frowned; she was confused

    Arsen gritted his teeth. He pushed Anthony away from his wife."Don't touch my wife!" Arsen warned again.He lifted Lily's body and carried his wife away from Diana's house.Arsen headed to the car, then laid Lily on the backseat. He then walked around to the other door.Arsen used his lap as a pillow for Lily's head."Quick, to the hospital!" he ordered the driver.Arsen cradled Lily's head, holding his wife's hand tightly, trying to stay calm."Please don't be sick, I'm begging you," Arsen whispered into Lily's ear.Meanwhile, inside the house, Diana looked confused.She stared in the direction Arsen had taken Lily, then looked at Anthony."Arsen and Lily..., they are husband and wife? How is that possible?" Diana said, still in disbelief.Anthony didn't answer and could only let out a rough sigh."The Mahesa family clearly hasn't married off their daughter." Diana spoke again, then looked at Anthony, who was still standing frozen in his spot."I already told you, Mama doesn't need
