Arlo Seys went ho, opened the door, and walked in. The house was empty, and Arlo Seys went up to the bedroom on the second floor.
The bedroom was still devoid of that figure. Arlo Seys’s pupils darkened, and he took a pack of cigarettes from the bedside drawer and walked to the balcony, fiercely smoking one after another.

Ariel Morris held the test results and dical records as she called a taxi, instructing the driver to roam aimlessly through the streets of City C. Inside the car, Ariel Morris’s eyes turned red.
Why? Why must fate play such a cruel joke? She finally had the chance to marry Arlo Seys, the man she had always loved deeply. But now, what should she do?
The phone in her bag suddenly rang, pulling Ariel Morris back from her thoughts. She glanced at the caller ID, her tear-reddened eyes deepening as she intentionally cald herself before answering in a gentle tone, "Hey, brother, what’s up?"
Jorge Saxton’s voice ca through from the other end, "The experts have all gathered in Italy, Ariel. The one-month deadline you promised has arrived."
Ariel Morris straightened up, her voice a little hoarse, "Brother----"
She had only recently told her brother, and the experts had already assembled in Italy, waiting for her. It was evident how concerned and attentive her brother was for her sake.
Jorge Saxton replied in a deep voice, "I can’t stop worrying about your condition. If it weren’t for you asking for one month’s ti, I would have already dragged you to the hospital."
Ariel Morris was silent for a while before she sighed and said softly, her voice sowhat low, "Brother, can you give another ten days?"
Just a few more days, and she could find out if there’s a baby. Just a few more days----how could she give up?!
"Ariel Morris! Can your body afford to delay any longer? You wanted a month, and I gave it to you! Now you’re asking for ten more days!" Jorge Saxton’s angry voice ca through from the other side, "I won’t give you any more ti! You must co back to Italy with imdiately! Even if you refuse, I’ll have Camden drag you onto the plane!"
"Brother! Can you please wait ten more days? I beg you." Ariel Morris’s voice choked slightly.
Jorge Saxton remained unmoved, his voice icy, "Don’t beg ! Will you listen to my plea? Co back to Italy with ! As for the wedding, if Arlo Seys is willing to wait until you recover, then let him wait. If not, let him marry soone else! I won’t allow you to play with your life! Don’t delay treatnt just because you want to wait for the wedding to end! It’s out of the question! I won’t allow it!"
Sitting in the car, Ariel Morris shook her head violently, tears sliding down her cheeks as she choked out, "Brother, I’m not trying to wait for the wedding, which is still months away. How could I possibly think of waiting for the wedding! Brother, please, give these last ten days, okay? I----I haven’t even told Arlo about this yet."
On the other side, Jorge Saxton was silent for a mont before his voice turned colder, "You haven’t told Arlo Seys yet? Ariel Morris! Why do I feel like you’re hiding sothing from us? Fine! Since you haven’t told Arlo, then there’s no need to. I’ll do it for you!"
"No!" Ariel Morris shouted at Jorge Saxton on the other end, her tone panicked, "Brother! I’ll tell Arlo myself, you don’t need to say anything! Brother, I’m asking for just these last few days, won’t you agree?"
"Why are you crying! Take back your tears! This ti, I won’t let you act willfully and hurt yourself!"
Jorge Saxton’s angry voice ca through, and Ariel Morris could imagine that this ti, her brother was truly angry, and it was quite terrifying.
Her brother had always been accommodating in front of her, indulging her every request, cherishing her like a precious treasure. But this ti, she had truly angered him.
