Lily eagerly accepted the gift box from Haris, turning toward Arsen with a broad smile before quickly tearing into the present from her uncle.

She was in awe upon seeing a jewelry box from a renowned brand.

"The gift is much like the ones you've already received, but take a look at the envelope," Haris prompted, pointing playfully toward the envelope that accompanied the jewelry.

Lily picked up the black envelope from the box. She cast an eager glance at Alma and Haris before promptly opening i

  • Wedded to the Ruler: My Contract Husband Gives It All   322. Firing the Wrongdoer

    At the MansionThomas took Aris, the man who had conspired with Indah, into an unused servant's room.A doctor arrived and immediately examined Aris, whose body was covered in bruises after being brutally beaten by Arsen.After treating his injuries, the doctor also gave Aunt Jess a prescription to have filled at the pharmacy.The doctor left, and Aunt Jess handed the prescription to one of the servants to get the medicine."So he's going to stay here? What if his family comes looking for him?" Aunt Jess asked Thomas once they had walked away from the servants' quarters."Don't worry, Auntie. Jerry has already taken care of that," Thomas replied."Actually, what happened to Miss Lily? You said she had given birth. Is that true? But seeing how the master hasn't come home for days, I can't help but feel worried." Aunt Jess looked at Thomas with a deeply saddened expression."The master and Miss Lily must need servants to look after them, but not a single servant has been called in," Aun

    Lily tried to wrap her arms tightly around Arsen, even though they still felt weak. She cried silently, just like Arsen."I'm sorry. I was wrong," Lily whispered.Arsen shook his head, still reluctant to release her from his embrace.Lily knew how difficult it must have been for Arsen to go through everything that had happened over the past few days.They remained in each other's arms for a long time until Audrey suddenly burst into tears, and Risha returned to the hospital room with Adhitama."She seems hungry. Would you like to try breastfeeding Audrey?" Risha asked as she approached Lily."Is that okay? Lily has only just woken up," Arsen said. He wiped his tear-stained eyes before reaching out to take Audrey from Risha."It should be fine, but I'll prepare some formula first in case Lily still isn't comfortable breastfeeding," Risha said."It's okay. I want to try," Lily replied. She looked at Arsen before turning her gaze to her baby.Lily accepted Audrey from Arsen's arms. She f

    Risha smiled.She didn't want to tell Lily about Arsen's refusal to touch Audrey.It was better to let Lily remain unaware of it, or perhaps Arsen could tell her himself later."Mom, can you help me sit up?"Risha took Audrey from beside Lily. Just then, Adhitama entered and immediately stepped forward to help her."Let Papa do it," Adhitama said.Lily kept looking at her father until she realized that Adhitama was trying to hold back his tears."Papa," Lily called.Adhitama wiped his eyes first before turning toward Lily and gently patting his daughter's shoulder.Adhitama could only nod before embracing Lily, who was now sitting upright."Does anything hurt? Just tell me if something hurts, and we'll have the doctor examine you again," Adhitama said, gently stroking Lily's hair."What did the doctor say earlier?" Risha asked curiously.She was worried, remembering that there was a medical condition known as terminal lucidity.It was a condition in which people who had been in comas

    Arsen ordered the man to be brought to the mansion.Throughout the journey, the man remained furious, repeatedly threatening to report Arsen and the others to the police for kidnapping him.Arsen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, wore a crooked smile. He told Thomas to pull over to the side of the road.Thomas glanced at Arsen. His boss looked calm, his eyes fixed straight ahead.After pulling over, Thomas was startled when Arsen got out of the car and opened the rear passenger door.Everyone was shocked when Arsen grabbed the man's collar and dragged him out.Arsen landed a hard punch to the man's face, sending him crashing to the ground. He didn't even give the man a chance to get back up before kicking him in the face."You should've just kept your mouth shut, but instead, you went looking for trouble," Jerry remarked, shaking his head. "You get out," he ordered Thomas. He then glanced at Indah, who looked terrified.Arsen grabbed the man's collar again, paying no atten

    Today, Thomas and the others were going to carry out a plan to trap the man who had contacted Indah.At Arsen's mansion, Thomas and Arsen were now looking at Indah, who stood before them with her head bowed.They were ready to leave, but before that, Thomas gave Indah instructions so she wouldn’t try any tricks.“You have to do exactly what we agreed on. If not, don't ever expect to get away from us,” Thomas threatened, ensuring Indah wouldn’t run away if given the chance.“Y-yes, Sir.” Indah immediately nodded.Arsen gave Indah a cold stare. If he didn't need her help, he would have already strangled her or thrown her into prison.“Wear this in a hidden spot so we can hear everything you talk about.” Thomas handed her a small microphone device complete with a clip.Indah took the device. She searched for a spot to place it, finally attaching it inside the collar of her shirt and concealing it beneath her flowing hair.Once everything was ready, Indah left first by taxi toward the mee

    That night, Audrey would not stop crying. Her weeping went on for so long that it sent everyone into a panic.Arsen, Risha, Adhitama, and several nurses had tried everything to calm her down, but the tiny baby simply could not stop crying.The nurses had also tried giving her expressed breast milk, and even—with Arsen's consent—supplemented with formula. Yet, their efforts were still in vain.“Could there be something wrong with her? Call the doctor so she can be examined,” Arsen said. He was growing frustrated. Caring for a baby turned out to be far from as easy as he had thought.The commotion in Lily’s room grew loud, so much so that no one noticed Lily moving her hand.In her sleep, Lily could hear all the voices, the arguments, and even her baby's cries. She felt as though she had been screaming, calling out the names of Risha, Arsen, and Adhitama. Yet, no one turned to look at her.“We should take this baby to the nursery first, for fear of disturbing the other patients,” one nu
