Astreille carefully wiped the forehead of the girl sleeping on her bed with a wet towel. She's glad that Miyuki's able to rest, she's definitely very tired because she's been fighting for her own life all day.

Astreille glanced at Dra. Haley when the doctor entered her room. The girl got up from her seat before being greeted.

"Doc? How's the test?" he asked worriedly.

The doctor smiled at her. "You don't have to worry that much. The stab she received wasn't too deep. She lost too much blood but she'll recover soon, just don't move her too much so that the stitches on her wound won't be affected."

It was as if a thorn had pulled the girl's chest at what was heard. He was too worried about the woman, Astreille can't imagine what Miyuki went through, she must have lost hope before.

"By the way, I borrowed your phone a while ago for some research. I didn't bring my cellphone, I was panicking so I forgot about bringing it. Someone texted you, and I accidentally read it," the doctor laughed. .

"Someone texted me? Who is it?" Astreille asked. The doctor handed over his cellphone so he carefully accepted it.

"Xord Knights. I panicked a while ago when I saw his surname registered on your phone. I thought you did something wrong to their family, but it seems like he's worried for you, so I guess you have a relationship?" the doctor asked while the girl was busy reading her boyfriend's message.

You texted a doctor. What the hell happened to you, Astreille ?!

The woman just bit her lip, her boyfriend was still very kind. Astreille turned to the doctor again. "Y-Yeah. He's my boyfriend," she replied shyly.

"That's great! I'm also Miracle's personal doctor!" excited to promise it.

"Yes? Miracle?" Astreille frowned.

"Yeah, she's Trigger Knights' wife. You don't know her? She's lovely and sweet, just like you," she replied smiling.

The girl scratched her neck before gently shaking. "Xord and I have just met, e. I haven't met his brothers' wives. But I'm sure they are all lovely!" Astreille's enthusiastic promise as a smile was posted on her lips.

"You're right. I was just sad about what happened years ago. I can't believe that Miracle's parents can do that to Miracle's first baby."

Astreille's forehead furrowed even more when she couldn't understand what he was saying. "Po? First baby? What happened po?"

The doctor seemed to suddenly wake up because of that. He shook his head before answering. "It's n-nothing. I forgot that it's confidential."

Astreille just smiled before nodding. It feels like the doctor doesn't want to talk about it, and she respects it.

Astreille almost jumped when he heard a loud horn outside the house. He hurried to the window to peek below. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Xord and her brother coming out from the car. They opened the gate with no difficulty.

Astreille bit her lower lip. "Wait, doc. I'll handle my boyfriend, maybe he'll go crazy again. Praning because, eh," the girl said hesitantly.

Dra. Haley laughed with what she said. "Sure, sweetheart."

The girl quickly ran out of her room, she almost fell on the stand when she saw the two men about to go up the stairs. Astreille quickly closed the door.

"Baby!"

"Princess!"

The two men shouted at the same time when they saw him. They even went ahead to hug him.

Astreille took a step backward when the two men collided, the two still staring at each other while looking badly at each other.

Astreille just chuckled with that. He first approached the brother who gave him a big hug. "What happened to you, princess? We're damn worried!" its confused growl.

The girl could not answer immediately when her boyfriend gently pulled her. She quickly kissed Xord's lips to greet him. "Good evening, love."

"Good evening, baby. What happened to you? You texted a fucking doctor, and I panicked a while ago!" its angry growl.

"I actually ... Ahm." She scratched her forehead.

"What?" Xord glanced at his bedroom door before it was forcibly opened.

But Astreille quickly grabbed the doorknob before closing the door again. He did not want the doctor to be surprised by the entry of the two men.

"Xord. Calm down, man," laughed Ephraim while shaking.

"What are you hiding inside your room, Astreille?" Xord asked the girl with a sharp look.

She gulped three times before answering. "W-No! Calm down first. I'm not hiding something."

"So it's someone?"

"Y-Yeah," she answered.

"Open that goddamn door." The man carefully pulled her away before opening the door of her room.

Astreille just closed her eyes before following the man who was now facing the doctor.

"Dr. Haley?" he said.

"Xord! Nice to meet you!" The doctor greeted the man warmly before embracing himn.

"Hey, it's been a while. What are you doing here? How's Miracle and kuya?" God's amazing promise.

"They know each other?" Ephraim asked the brother. Astreille turned to her older brother.

She smiled sweetly. "I think so. Doctora Haley is the personal doctor of Ate Miracle, Xord's brother's wife," she answered.

"Hell. You don't know how many times he cussed while driving all the way here. He's still cursing at me for worrying about you," the young man said with a laugh.

"I'm sorry for that, brother. I can't really stop what he's saying," Astreille replied with a smile on her face.

"I felt humiliated, princess. Actually, I was supposed to be the one who could cuss him all around. I am your brother, I should be the one to enslave him but look at that habit! I'm just swearing," she complained. Ephraim.

She giggled with that, she could clearly see the irritation and annoyance on her brother's face. Astreille just looked at the groom who was now walking towards her.

"Who's that woman on your bed? I heard you saved her," he said proudly.

"She's Miyuki. And yeah, I'm glad that she blocked my way. She lost too much blood."

The groom hugged her waist tightly. "You're her guardian angel. A beautiful angel."
