Chapter 117:

Lilliana pushed Joshua away. “Joshua, I’m serious!”

Joshua touched her belly, tenderness in his eyes. “I too. In just a month, we'll feel the baby move. This is my first time as a father and I cherish our life together. Lilliana, you have to trust me. I've never cheated on you. You're the only person I've ever loved. Do you understand?”

Lilliana's tears had exhausted her, leaving her eyes empty. His mention of the baby moving out soon hit her deeply. As a mother, she wanted to provide her baby with a happy, complete family.

Because of this, his heart began to soften.

“Joshua…” She felt touched, and her doubts began to fade away. With tears still in her eyes, she said, “Joshua, promise me that you won't let me down.”

Joshua was relieved to hear her answer. He gently ran his hand down her back. “I promise. I won't be going to the office for the next few days. I'll be here with you at all times. Is that okay?”

Lilliana agreed.

Once Joshua got Lilliana to sleep, her gentle expression faded.

Meanwhile, Alice opened the bag Caden had given her. Inside, she found several types of underwear. Some were disposable and others were made of soft cotton. The designs were simple, nothing extravagant, but well made.

Alice put on her cotton ones, and a strange feeling came over her. She touched her cheek and noticed that it was flushed. She looked out of the window, and the sight of the autumn landscape drew her thoughts elsewhere.

Before she knew it, sleep had taken hold of her again.

When Alice woke up, she felt someone hugging her. Whoever it was, their scent was familiar to her.

Still half asleep, she instinctively pushed the person away. “We're in a hospital. Don’t be so reckless… Wait.”

Suddenly, she felt something unusually soft in her hand. She opened her eyes with a start and realized she was holding a soft breast, probably a C cup. Startled, she opened her eyes fully and looked up. “Monica?”
