“I'm very thankful to have you, Hubby. I'm the blessed woman in the whole world because I have you. You are there when I'm down, happy, sad, crying and willing to support me in everything I want to. You're the perfect man and husband to be an example to others. Your love is worth it like your actions. I love you, Hubby. Please don't get tired and leave me. I don't know how to make it up and live without you, please Hubby.” Lyn says it with affection. Maybe he can't hear it but she is deadly serious about it, no jokes, no bluff, just the truth in her heart. It is what her heart wants to say and she said it lovingly to her sleeping husband.
“My wife fantasizes about me, huh? Am I that handsome for you to glare at me for a long time? I love you, wife. Get better and we will go home.” Surprisingly, Axiel said it after opening his eyes.
‘Oww my goshhh, he is awake. Did he hear what I say?’ Lyn thought with an O form of her seductive lips, out of shock.
“Your awake, I thought you were not. But yeah, your handsome Hubby, mouth-watering too hahaha.” she laughs, giggles, and pinch his nose. Her mouth says what she thought and yeah, she blushes at that. How come she says the ‘mouth watering’ in her husband? It seems she is a horny wife. No, she is a shame. Because of that, she covers her face with the blanket.
“Oww, my wife is shy, huh? So it means you think wild about me huh? Naughty wife. Come on, let me see your red face.” Axiel pulls down the blanket so Lyn covers her face with her hands, so him not see.
“But you fantasize about me too, right? So we're even.” Lyn seconded and roll her eyes. She wants to lessen her shame by doing that.
“Yeah, yeah, I surrendered wife. You're the winner now.” Axiel raises his both hands like surrendering. When the wife says so, you will choose to surrender than fight back. Girls are talkative like machine guns. Those in relationships or married know that, what it means.
A chef of the hospital delivered a chicken porridge, a piece of strawberry cake, bottled water, and a glass of milk to the room of Lyn. Specifically serve VIP patients. Ezekiel carries his wife and leaves the hospital. He said that they will visit tomorrow because they need to rest. The findings of the doctor become a secret to avoid risk, especially for Lyn that has it.
Axiel feeds her, lets her finish the food, and lets her drink the milk. Axiel ordered the hospital's kitchen to add a piece of strawberry cake to each meal of his wife. They will serve his food too when he's here so that they can eat together to give her an appetite. Lyn plays games on her phone and watches TV dramas until she falls asleep. Axiel arranges the blanket and tucks her in before leaving the room. He needs to talk to the attending physician of his wife.
“Hi Axiel, come and sit,” Vin said when Axiel enter his office. Vin is the uncle of Axiel and also he is the one who conduct the operation on Lyn before. Axiel do what he said and sit down opposite him.
“How is her condition Uncle? Do we have a solution for now?” Axiel worriedly asks. The cold guy becomes an angel when he meets his girl again. Before, his face is emotionless but now his emotions are visible even in his action. He changes a lot because of a girl and that is Lyn. Vin let out a heavy sigh and said,
“Her condition is unexpected, we did see it before. We have several treatments for her case but they will be risky and worst, they may affect the baby or kill it. She needs to know about her condition and be mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for what would happen the next day. For our country's medical equipment, we have limited treatment for that.
We will discuss her condition later with the doctors here to see what we can do but I will not assure you of any progress of that. Sorry, Axiel.” Just a paragraph that breaks Axiel very much. He starts to lose hope but he needs to be strong in front of Lyn so she does not give up in this fight. Axiel messes up with his hair and tears flow down his face nonstop.
‘Why did she need to experience all of this?’
‘Is she destined to experience all of this?’
‘Why?’
‘The world is so unfair to her.’
‘Why can't she live peacefully and happily?’
Lyn woke up and was still in the hospital. She wants to go home. The hospital's smell tortures her. She is bored here. She is fine but why does she need to stay here? All her negative thoughts vanish when she sees Axiel sleeping beside her. Knowing her husband was there makes her feel protected. All her worries replace comfort, it warms her heart.
“Good morning Hubby,” she said while combing his hair. It is soft unlike her.
‘Hmmm, why his hair is smoother than mine? So unfair?’
“Good morning to my beautiful wife. How's your sleep?” Axiel greets her back after opening his eyes. His blue eyes are very attractive. Lyn smiles and gives him a smack kiss before responding to it.
“I have a good sleep but I'm bored here. Also, I didn't want the smell of the hospital Hubby. I want to go home.” Lyn complained and buried her face in his chest. Axiel caress her hair and stated,
“Okay, we will go home. Maybe this afternoon or tomorrow. Wife I need to tell you something about your condition.” Lyn raises her head and looks at him puzzled look. He needs to tell her about it according to Vin. It's okay for her to have knowledge about her condition than never.
“What about my condition Hubby?” Lyn asks while making eye-to-eye contact with him.
“It is all because of your new heart wife. It has complications now and it causes you to lack oxygen. It is not good for you and especially for the baby. You need to be bedridden from now on. You are not allowed to be tired. But the worst is when you will give birth to your child. Either you two survive or one of you will not and I don't want that. I'm afraid to lose you and our baby.” Axiel explained and hug her tight, to comfort her. Lyn was stunned and analyzed what Axiel said.
“Is it risky for my pregnancy Hubby?” she asked unexpectedly. His words get clear in her mind and she asks it. Being worried about her child being affected by it. Surely, the child will be affected by her condition but she needs confirmation.
“Yes, wife” Axiel directly answered without breaking his hug to her. He knows that it is too much for her but he can't do anything about it. Letting her know all the possibilities than letting her believe in lies. It would not help her condition at all, it will worsen if she knows others.
“What should we do now?” Lyn asks while caressing her belly. There is a life there, a little human being that is blood now but is developed as a fetus and soon a human. New life would be added to the world that will experience life too in this beautiful world we have. Axiel sadly said,
“They are talking about your condition for now. Trying their best to find a suitable treatment for you that wouldn't affect you and the baby at the same time. I'm willing to tread some of my life here on Earth to assure things are on good terms.” Axiel said as a support and encouragement to her not to lose hope.
“I'm hoping to Hubby. I don't want to lose this child. It is very special to us. I will be crazy if it is taken away from us Hubby. I will take care of our child until I gave birth. We can do a cesarean if I can't do it. It will lessen the possibilities of losing us.” Lyn suggest. Not sure if it will work in her condition. Axiel supported her suggestion and said,
“I will tell Vin about that if it's okay. Don't think too much about it. You will get well soon.”
They eat their breakfast together when a chef delivers their food. Lyn takes a bath with the help of Axiel before he takes a shower too. He guides and helps her. It is a responsibility of a husband to take care of their wife not just the wife of the husband. ‘In sickness and in health’, is a phrase of their vow during their marriage that tells about the responsibilities of an individual to their partner, in sickness and in health.
All the trials that will try to break that vow you said on the altar. It will test you to see if you could do that vow you said, your promise.
“Are you okay dear?” Felisa asks while sitting on Lyn's bed, on her side. The concern is visible in Felisa's eyes. Lyn smile at her and answered with assurance. Axiel and Ezekiel leave them to have a girl's talk so they can have their time as well.
“I'm fine Aunt. I badly want to go home. The hospital's smell kills me. I didn't want to stay here any longer.”
“But you need to be monitored? Did Axiel tell you about your condition?” Felisa ask with a worried look while holding her hand.
Lyn nodded and said, “He already said it but he promise me too that I will be out here this afternoon or tomorrow. He will not lie to me, Aunt. Please understand me, Aunt, please. I want to go home.” Lyn pleads with puppy eyes. Felisa let out a heavy sigh and surrendered, “Okay, okay, you won.”
“How about your parents, did they know what happened to you?” Felisa asks another question to end up with the first one.
Lyn nod again and said, “Axiel tell me that he call them yesterday and they will be here today. I'm very excited about your meeting up Aunt. I will assure you that you will love them.” Lyn giggled upon saying that. It makes Felisa laugh. She is cute when she giggled, so innocent loving young lady.
“Oww dear, why did it happen again baby?” Mary said and hug Lyn. Axiel arranges his private plane for Lyn's parents to come over. Knowing that they treasure Lyn more than their lives, it's a love of parents. Especially since Lyn is their only daughter, the only fruit of their love.
“I'm fine mom, don't worry too much. Your baby girl is strong and will have a baby as well.” Lyn smiled at her best to assure her mom that she is okay, alive and kicking. Mary let out a heavy sigh and nod her head to Lyn. This girl seems like before, she didn't want them to get worried.
“Do you want to have a vacation in our Province dear? The fresh air is good for the baby dear.” Mateo suggests while sitting on the sofa near Lyn's bed. The air here is polluted and it is not good for the baby's health.
“And also, our fruits there are ready to harvest. I know that you love fruits, especially strawberries. Your two hectares greenhouse near the mansion is already ripping. Our workers maintain it organic because they know that their Lady loves that fruit.
One-fourth of those are ripe and harvested to be produced, the others follow. Our workers missed you too dear. Would you mind having a vacation in there?” Mateo added. That fruit plantation is Mary's family business. They are exporting those topical fruits to other countries. They plant, take care of them, harvest, pack, and export. It is a mass production. They also supply for the local, not just abroad.
“That would be great dad, but Axiel needs to work. No one can handle his company.” Lyn's eyes glittered when she heard what her father suggested but become sad in an instant because she realize that Axiel's work is there. The company needs its CEO.
“We will handle it dearly.” a voice said from the door that brings their attention to the person who talk. Owww, it's Daddy Fernando with Mommy Kyla, Axiel's parents. They sit beside Mateo and Fernando added,
“Your father's idea is good for you and the baby. Also, for Axiel to relax for a week. Don't worry dear and we will handle it for you. His sisters, Joanine and Naomi want a vacation too. I can tell them to be with you so they can see what Province looks like. It would be their first time to visit a Province, also where you and their brother meet before.”
Joanine and Naomi were born abroad when they go abroad because of the threats on their lives because of their business. That Province was memorable to Axiel and Lyn. In that place, their friendship turns to love starting when they are kids. Axiel is elusive at that time. At a young age, Axiel's eyes and mind are open to the truth that a business dispute is happening.
His family is experiencing it at that time. Axiel didn't trust anyone that easy start at that time but when Lyn approach him, all seems a miracle. Axiel drove her away many times but Lyn insist to make him her friend. Lyn always sees him alone and knows how lonely it feels.
There is something that attracts her to do so and she succeeds when Axiel talks to her. It starts their friendship until it becomes love. It may be puppy love but this puppy love becomes the foundation to be what they have now.
True love truly exists no matter what you think isn't. You can manipulate a person or all people but it will not work on fate. You can't change your fate when it is already set.
******
Felisa together with her husband and Axiel, attend a meeting of the doctors that will tackle Lyn's condition. Ezekiel invite the best doctors around the world like he said to talk about Lyn's case and how to treat it. They talk about it and decide on treatments they will do without risking the baby. It takes hours after they finished the meeting and they decided to go back to Lyn's private room.
The doctors will stay here until Lyn gave birth and until things go right in the plan. They will stay in a five-star hotel and all the expenses will be under Ezekiel. He is the one who invites them so he is responsible for them. It would be a big help for Lyn to recover quickly and be safe because a lot of doctors will take care of her health.
Felisa seems excited about something that she didn't know. A conversation between people is heard inside Lyn's room. They could hear it outside. When Axiel open the door and they got in, she got stunned and can't move upon seeing the woman beside Lyn, who was holding Lyn's hand. That woman looks like her in her thirties. Her eyes are glued to that woman even her attention. Something is about her that Felisa needs to know. Ezekiel holds her shoulders and asks her, worried about her reaction.
“Are you okay Honey?” Because of that Felisa come back to her senses and glared at her husband who just ask her. She says “I'm fine” after a few seconds. It's like she is processing what Ezekiel said before answering it.
Why did she feels that they are blood-related?
Why she's here?
Is she the mother of Lyn?
“Your here Aunt Felisa and Uncle Ezekiel. Come and let me introduce my parents. Mom and dad, they are Aunt Felisa Lorenzo and Uncle Ezekiel Lorenzo, our friends. Aunt and Uncle, these are my parents, Mom Mary and Dad Fernando.” Lyn tenderly said and smile widely. Now, they finally meet each other. Felisa compliments Lyn's parents to lighten what she feels and says,
“You have handsome and beautiful parents dear.”
Lyn chuckle and said, “Of course Aunt. It's in our clan hahaha.” She laughs at the end of her sentence to lessen the tension in the room. Three families are there for one person that is important to them, and that is Lyn. This beautiful and cheerful woman attracts their attention and treasures her. So an innocent living young lady.
“Hubby, dad suggests we visit our Province. What is your decision? It matters more than I am.” Lyn glared at her husband while saying those words. It is respectful to your partner when you ask their opinion or decision about something.
So she did it. It makes Axiel shocked. Lyn knows how to prioritize him and also his opinion before hers. What a good attitude of a wife. He is blessed to have her huh? He makes the best decision in choosing this girl. It makes him smile and has butterflies in his tummy.
“We can have a vacation Wifey. My parents suggest that too but you just ask it first. Let's have a vacation for a month Wife with my two naughty sisters. Let's see if they can live in Province without their luxurious life here.” Axiel smirked while thinking how his sisters complain when they will experience being poor for a month. Those spoiled brats can't take it for sure.
“What's for that creepy smile son?” Fernando curiously asks Axiel when he notices that smirk of his. Axiel shrugged his shoulders and said,
“Let's see how your spoiled brat daughters will accept their new lives there. Knowing that they can't live without their luxury life here.” Fernando understands what he meant and winks back at him.
“Nice idea son. It's savage hahaha. Don't forget to report what they are afraid of. It would be a manipulation for them when they didn't agree someday.”
“Don't worry dad. You're on my side.” Axiel assured Fernando.
Lyn is discharged from the hospital and now, they are preparing their things for tomorrow. The doctors allow Lyn to go to the Province but she needs to be checked once a week. Vin will go with them as well to take care of her. Lyn is laying in bed while listening to hypnotic kinds of music.

Axiel willingly packed their things without letting Lyn help him because of her condition. She needs to be bedridden and not move so much. He hires a nurse to take care of Lyn. Especially in lady's stuff even he can do it for her. He is not sure if he will in her side every time so he doesn't have a choice but to hire a private nurse.
Axiel finished packing and join Lyn in the bed. She is sleeping peacefully like a baby. Her lips are pouting which attracts him to kiss it, so tempting. He can't take it anymore and kiss her passionately and to his surprise, Lyn responds and kiss him back. Her hands wrap around his nape while responding.

Lyn has a dream that Axiel is kissing her so she responds without knowing that it is happening in reality, not just in her dream. Axiel lets go of her lips when he senses that Lyn is lacking air. That kiss aroused him but he can't make love to her this time.
Sex is a part of marriage but you need to consider the facts that you can't force your partner on this matter when they didn't want to do it because it is considered rape no matter what. Axiel got up in bed and go straight to the bathroom to release. After drying his body and wearing sweatpants, he joins Lyn in the bed and hugs her from the back. Lyn faces him and hugs him back without opening her eyes. Darkness consumes him after kissing her forehead and saying good night to her.
