“Hans, Pon, or anyone!”“What’s wrong, Sir?”“Quick, prepare the car, Audrey is sick.” Dason yelled frantically, searching for a driver to immediately prepare the car and take Audrey to the hospital, as he felt Audrey's body was burning up.It was understandable that Audrey felt so weak; she was indeed unwell. The guards promptly prepared the car for Dason.Dason quickly carried Audrey's body into the car, surprising Audrey when she opened her eyes.“Darling, what's wrong?” Audrey asked, a hint of rebellion in her voice, especially when she saw the panic on Dason's face.“You're sick, Honey. Why didn’t you tell me you were feeling unwell?” Dason said while continuing to carry Audrey to the car.“I just feel a bit unwell, but I'm not sick,” Audrey weakly replied.“Just be quiet now. Can't you feel how hot your body is?” Dason said.Finally, Audrey chose to stay silent. She did feel extremely weak and drained of energy. She didn’t even have an appetite, but she didn’t realize her body w

"It's up to you, darling.""Yes, we shouldn't treat our parents that way. If we do, we're no different from them, always looking down on us, considering us inferior."Dason took out his phone. He wanted to call Merry to inform her that Audrey was in the hospital because she was pregnant.Ring! Ring!After a few rings, Merry finally answered."Why are you calling me at this hour? Don't you know any manners or rules? Nighttime is for people to rest," Merry snapped, answering Dason's call without any greeting.Yet, when Dason and Audrey were in the village, Merry was so active in calling to ask for money."I'm sorry, Mama. I didn't mean to disturb you. I just wanted to let you know that we are back in the city, and tonight Audrey is in the hospital. It turns out she's pregnant, Mama," Dason informed Merry."So, what does that have to do with me? I'm not a doctor, nor a midwife. If she's pregnant, let the doctors and nurses take care of her," Merry responded coldly."Yes, Mama. We are at

"Hello, Mama. What is this about?" Dason answered, confusion clear in his voice."Don't ask too many questions! Just send me 2 trillion dollars now! I need to settle some debts left by Audrey's father!" Merry demanded, her tone sharp and urgent.Dason furrowed his brow, taken aback by Merry's audacity. He knew well that the debts had accumulated under Merry's management, not Mr. Edwin's."I don't have that much money, Ma," Dason replied firmly."I don't care! Send the money now! If you don't, I'll come to the hospital and take Audrey back home! She must do what I say because she owes me for everything I've done for her!" Merry's voice was loud and commanding."What do you mean, Ma?" Dason asked, curiosity and disbelief mingling in his tone."I gave birth to her, raised her, and this is how she repays me? By defying me for a worthless man like you?" Merry's voice was filled with anger.Dason was shocked. He had never heard a parent demand repayment for raising their child."Send me the

Dason intercepted Merry's hand before she could slap him."If you ever try to hit me again, Mama, I'll make sure you end up in jail," he said, releasing her hand.Merry was furious. She couldn't believe that her son-in-law, who had always been meek and compliant, was now standing up to her with such authority. She was bewildered by Dason's newfound courage and assertiveness, traits she had never seen in him before. Until now, he had endured her public humiliations in silence. But today was different. Dason seemed empowered and unafraid of her threats.Though she had received the 2 trillion, Merry wanted more because that amount had already been used to settle their debts with Arzaka. If they hadn't paid in full, their safety would have been compromised. Everyone knew who Arzaka was. Merry was frustrated that she had fallen into debt with someone so dangerous.In her anger, Merry signed the document and stormed out of Audrey's hospital room without inquiring about her daughter's condit

"Are you serious? How can you talk like that so easily?""Of course, I'm serious. We never joke about things like this."Dason sighed heavily at his brother-in-law's audacity. He spoke without a trace of shame."I mean, seriously. You’re getting married and asking us to fund it?" Audrey said, exasperated. She was truly annoyed with Halbert. Instead of protecting his sister, he was always a burden."So what if you don't have the funds? It’s not like it matters whether you get married or not," Audrey added, directing her frustration at Halbert and Luisa."As your brother, you should help us. Giving us the money is a way of showing your love for your brother," Halbert said to Audrey. "Where do you plan to get married?" Audrey asked."At the very least, in a hall. You know how expensive those are. So we need your help," Halbert responded.Audrey shook her head in disbelief. She couldn't understand Halbert's need to maintain appearances. If he really didn't have the money, he should opt f
