Merry clasped her sleeping daughter's hand with the infusion running through her body, the woman's eyes staring so pushyly as if the fate of Airyn due to the cursed past that occurred. If the troublesome bad past does not exist, maybe Airyn will not be intelligent in this place, she should be happy with her husband and also her future children, he said, but this time in order to solve the problem with jilixing something unexpected even happened, even though they successfully took over the headquarters of Jilixing, stopped the operation of the headquarters, and even took him to the dungeon, until he will be executed later, Hansell remains a victim of this success, the price Hansell paid to relinquish office and also seize the headquarters of Jilixing of course with his shares, he said, it doesn't even feel like there's anything good to be gained from all this.
Are we too rash to finish things, not thinking about the worst possible thing that happened? Jesus, what will I tell Airyn later. And how do I explain Hansell fighting for his life, and I don't even dare to call Zates because I'm not ready to hear bad news. Airyn, I'm sorry, dear.
Cklek.
The sound of the door diverted Merry's gaze, making his neck turn towards the back of who was coming, the tearful gaze, he rubbed with his hand, standing from there facing three people in front of their eyes.
“You...” exclaimed Merry as she glanced at James, Iriana and her daughter Lee Somi.
It feels like Merry forgot something if James was on their side, so cheating on Jilixing is very easy because of his help, because Zates made an exchange that evoked James' conscience, James said, even Iriana had understood about Jilixing and what she was trying to poison James, all the bright spots were already realized by the man, even 2 days ago James had brought his father for treatment of his kidney problems, of course Zates had been hiding Griffin not just hiding it, but equipped it with adequate care, he said, because Zates believes if anything happens to Griffin then everything will be destroyed.
And sure enough, his son James was already able to accept the reality and the real facts. If the problems of Iriana and Griffin are past problems that require them to go for a break, but Iriana does not expect her despair with Jilixing instead endures her son in a grudge created by her ex-husband, she said, even Iriana did not expect the other side of Jilixing and even Iriana could not believe why Jilixing did that to her own family.
“Merry...” Iriana who walked to the side of her best friend, she gave a warm embrace to strengthen Merry, however thanks to Merry and Zates, the household problems between Iriana and her son were resolved, she said, even it feels like he has realized in the eyes of the wrong point of all this, until now Iriana thanks if Merry has protected James. “You must be patient, do not be too depressed over the problems that occur. I know it's heavy, but I also know you're strong, for that. You're going through this all Merry, for the sake of your daughter and husband” exclaimed Iriana with the warm embrace she was trying to give Merry.
“What you said with the husband, he doesn't really love me. We were together just for Airyn” denied Merry when he let go while staring at Iriana with her gentle ruckus.
“Are you blind!! Even people who just know can feel if Zaterius really loves you” continued Iriana with sharp emphasis, making Merry very reluctant to believe, it feels like he doesn't want to talk about himself and it feels like Merry just wants Airyn to be unharmed.
“Tante, mother right. Aunty must be strong, so that Miss Airyn strong” Lee Somi who was at that time beside her brother James, even when Somi said the man rubbed his sister's head like an older brother. Even in 2 days, the father's different brothers can establish closeness, making Merry brushed off his tears when he saw James standing next to his sister and mother.
While the man, who had chosen to stay in his position, chose to look at Airyn with a sad look. It feels like James' feelings for the woman are just selfish, Airyn who he had in childhood is certainly like an angel for him, making James so obsessed with getting Airyn, he had a goal to protect his father from Jilixing, but now his father was in his hands again, and James had tried to be heartened to accept everything that happened, even when the embrace of Iriana's mother landed for the first time, making the grudge fall out just like that, even her heart was never comfortable and calm, like peace without any words to speak. And all of that was thanks to Merry and Zaterius.

Two days before the Hansell accident.
“Why did you come to my office!” james snapped to Merry and Zates, who had entered his office by force, and the two men made a fuss and so James emptied the clinic because the two men were too conspicuous with their members.
“I just want to negotiate with mu” said Zates in front of the man who is the son of Iriana and Griffin, of course James reviewed a smile full of condescending gazes, it was as if the two people were as if they were unconscious of their positions.
“Don't be too quick to conclude what I'm going to negotiate with James. Because this is related to your father” continued Zates with a calm face, like a machine that can not be profiled under any circumstances, seeing the way Zates was so elegant made Merry sit quietly by his side.
“What do you want is actually” furious man who at that time used a formal suit with glasses that shimmered in his eyes, even James opened his glasses to show how sharp the eye wanted to kill before Zates.
“Didn't I say, I just want to negotiate with mu” continues while smiling sweetly full of calmness, making James' eyes twitch because he was so irritated by the man's relaxed attitude, he said, no matter if Zates knew that James' heart and temper were turbulent to destroy him, while the man instead put on a relaxed face as if he had no burden in dealing with him, indeed a cunning old fox. “I want you to choose between Airyn or your father Griffin. If I give you those two choices, which one will you save James?” zates continued with a serious letter that almost made James stunned without being able to speak, it seemed he was made silent a thousand languages because what Zates said confiscated his common sense to digest.
“If I can get both, why should I choose one of them. I'll get Airyn to be with me after that I'll also get Griffin. Why are you so confident asking me things I couldn't have chosen Zates, didn't you know from the beginning. If I am so determined to snatch Airyn from her stupid husband” continued the man in a haughty tone, even as he spoke he was so arrogant that he made Zates pull a wry smile at the corner of his lips.
“Unfortunately you're not a hansell tandigan to take the woman. That's why I'm offering you a negotiation. If you stick with your initial resolve, everything will be destroyed by James. You're not gonna get Airyn, and you're gonna lose your father. Now I come up with a choice, and you have to choose between your father or Airyn!” resolute zates who is no less arrogant than James, making the man link his forehead because he was very upset with the way Zates spoke so annoying.
“Do you challenge me Zatesrius!” threatening the man who at that time clenched his hands towards Zates and also Merry, even his eyes were so sharp that it was able to make Merry feel threatened.
“I'm not for making a fuss with you. You're nothing compared to Hansell, aren't you investigating who Hansell really is?” asked Zates in a casual sentence, making James look up his chin as if asking for the man's explanation. “Zates is the leader of the headquarters that houses the underground kingdom, he is even more powerful than the dark royal emperor that makes Hansell have the power to destroy the base of Jilixing that is not how much. And currently, Hansell is negotiating with the core management to tear down Jilixing headquarters, and only one stage remains to achieve success, namely dismantle the strategy and also the original character of Jilixing then everything will be destroyed”
Of course, James' eyes looked at Zaterius, he felt made to not believe what the man said, how could Hansell head of the headquarters, whether the man was telling him, whether the man was telling him, The Hansell he knew was a weak man who could not protect Airyn, he had always been Airyn's weak point, so for James the man could not be relied upon, for this reason James tried hard to get rid of Hansell from Airyn, because he did not want Airyn to be under pressure by Jilixing just because of Hansell, James thinks he is more worthy of Airyn because he has a side of life that is almost the same as the girl who in the past became a little angel for him.
But the fact that Hansell was told by Zaterius, making James unable to believe, it seemed that James' brain was spinning with facts that he was unable to accept, but the man's words were like circling James' ears every minute of every second. “Are you kidding Zates?” asked the man when he lowered his gaze on Zaterius, making Merry take out the file sheet and also the photo sheet he had prepared.
“Look at Hansell's dungeon transaction file, and this is a photo of him with Mr. Erdano of the Turkish nobility who is the core caretaker who earns the small headquarters of Jilixing” Zaterius said as he showed off the evidence, even with James immediately withdrawing the evidence, he even pulled a tablet that had a videotape of how respectful Mr. Erdano was to Hansell.
Of course, as the man who had been working with Jilixing, who was the one who had been controlling his own biological father, James knew very well who Erdano Nitopan was, the man was a very famous Turkish nobleman and was also respected by Jilixing, even Jilixing very much subdued himself to Erdano because the man was the strongest person who erased all traces of Jilixing while playing dirty, he said, but now he was siding with Hansell even his attitude was so polite and also very appreciative, is not this a sign that Hansell was far above Jilixing, even Erdano class had made Jilixing bend the knee, while Erdano was even so polite and respectful to Hansell Hamillton “What is this? are you kidding me, how can Hansell be the leader of the main headquarters of the underground kingdom?” james did not accept.
“The underground headquarters that has been structured so strongly and firmly, is an underground organization founded by the Farhaven family in the past, even this organization is hereditary, and of course the core members were the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of their previous forefathers, of course Hansell was the same. He inherited power from Farhaven who was the leader of each generation for generations, only for a few years after the family's unrest, the throne was vacated, and Hansell put him in charge of this country. If you don't believe who Hansell really is, it's perfectly natural. Because he had originally intended to hide himself, but this time since he learned of Jilixing who had leaked Airyn's contract, the man would forcibly seize Jilixing's throne and headquarters, making it a meaningless shred not to touch his wife, if Jilixing he smashed it with his hand, Hansell would have taken care of you that soon, but I've negotiated with Hansell, and he gives you a second chance” explains Merry in front of James, making Zates who was next to the man stop Merry to explain the continuation.
“I think you've been very good at explaining about Hansell" Zates exclaimed to his wife "Now back to the deal at the beginning. Hansell had thrown his gun, he would take Jilixing's headquarters, in which case Jilixing would be blown to pieces until there was nothing else he had, and you could not rely on him. So what if you had to pick James? Which one will you choose?" zaterius continued to the man, making James sharpen his eyes so sharply at him.
“If I don't want to choose how!”
“That's your problem James, but you have to be self-aware of the goodness of my heart. Why do you always put forward your own ego, if from the beginning you are self-conscious if Airyn does not love you. Your father is under my hands, and Airyn is in the arms of her husband, now you want both, don't you just mean to be a fool if you don't accept the kindness of my heart and Hansell's. Even when you're still hanging on with Jilixing, you have to accept an eternal mistake like him, you can't even get your father, much less Airyn. So what makes you so selfish to get both, don't fantasize too much James, the world doesn't revolve around you
“Then what do you want, Ha!!” snapped when James pulled the collar Zates, even making Merry gasp in shock when her husband was clutched by the man, of course Zates held Merry to calm down as if he should not be provoked by James' emotions.
A normal person would accept an offer from Zaterius, even this was the best choice for him to choose, only this was also a defeat that cost him his own self-esteem. He chooses to betray Merry to help Jilixing all along, becoming a sharp double-edged sword on Jilixing and blunt on Merry, if he accepts an offer from Zaterius, James's self-esteem is also at stake to face Merry, because it seems Merry himself who proposes this to save himself to the man.
Of course a very hard slap received by James, when the person he hated for years, even saved himself in the worst seconds of James's destruction. It seemed that James's face was unable to lift to look up to Merry, so he was very reluctant to choose between two people he wanted to have.
“If you want to choose, then you must know the consequences of all that. When you choose Airyn, then you have to face Hansell, you know not where you are, certainly not an easy thing to get. But if you choose your father, it's the best choice you could make in your entire life. Sometimes you have to let go of your ego to Airyn to see the value of a father in your life” Zates continued to help the man boost his choice.
“James, it's not too late to fix everything. You can still save your father, and Griffin can still be helped to become a father. It's time you admitted who you are to Griffin, because Griffin is still a grudge to this day, all because he knew about your death James. For this reason, he took great revenge on the Farhaven family and Airyn” Merry timpal to the man, making James sigh with teary eyes, it felt like Merry's words were so piercing that he couldn't control his hurt feelings “I'm really sorry for everything that happened. Regret or whatever I say certainly does not mean, but with you accepting your father again, I think this is a good opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past” continued the woman with trembling lips, I think, even he wanted to cry so nervous he thought about the past, immediately Zates clasped Merry's hand, saying that Merry should calm down to try to calm James' mind.
“You think carefully about this decision, I have given you a choice. And if you are willing to accept yourself and forgive your father, and accept your mother and step-sister. Come to this address” timpal Zates while giving a small paper with an address there. Of course the man's eyes were fixated on looking forward, reaching out for the paper to read, how shocked James was that address he recognized.
“I-This...”.
“That's your mother's home address, and I've taken Griffin there, your father the last time I got him when he got away from you, at that time his heart disease recurred and I prevented him from finding a heart transplant that matched him, so at this time he is still under the influence of drugs by the team of doctors that I placed in your mother's house” continued Zaterius with a calm attitude, making James' eyes round in disbelief, how could that happen. “I will wait for your arrival as proof that you chose your father, but if you don't come, then, I think do not regret in the future James” exclaimed Zates while holding Merry's hand to get out of there, the man's gaze was fixed on Merry who was so sad, so sad, as if hoping for more if James were to come tonight, but the dense aura on the man's face was like a picture of anger that he could not suppress.
But who would have thought, the night James really came, in the worst seconds when Zaterius wanted to go home, even a day that tainted their whole heart, making Iriana hug her son so affectionately, kissing the face of James who had grown up with his tears and hugged him tightly after never meeting again, while Lee Somi son of Jilixing himself was happy for the happiness of his mother, while Lee Somi, even the first time he hugged his older brother and also called someone with the name of his older brother, it felt like happiness carved into the little family, even though Griffin was still unconscious, still, the problems in the family were still not intelligent, at least between James and his family, there was a bright spot, and he also helped in the attack of the headquarters of Jilixing that night, because those reinforcements are James's men.
*
In the hospital that stretched the silence, even James who chose silence, began to dare himself to make a sound.
“Mistress Merry” said a little reluctantly, making Merry smile with a puddle of tears in both of her eyeballs.
“Didn't I tell you, you're my son. Call me like you used to” said Merry when opening both hands to hug James, of course immediately the man gave the same hug to Merry.
“You have to be strong Merry” said James as he rubbed the back of the woman who had raised him, even James was sad for what happened to Hansell and Airyn.
After Iriana and Somi had a long conversation and accompanied Airyn there, making James want to bring his sister and mother back home, even Merry also stood up from a position to open the door for them, but some of the doctors came and entered the room, making James' eyes sharpen to see the colleagues he recognized, even while staring at James they were sitting themselves with respect.
“Why are you here?” james asked the psychiatrists and psychologists in front of him, making Merry mishandle the question from the man.
“I want to consult with them on Airyn” conditions exclaimed Merry in a low tone that felt so sad.
“What's up with Airyn” is courting James as if he hasn't gotten the right answer from them.
“This...” it feels like Merry is so hesitant to talk in front of everyone, even he does not feel good talking about Airyn's mental state in front of Iriana and Somi. “You go, I want to talk to James briefly” throw Merry at the row of Psychiatrists and Psychologists who come, make them nod their heads while going from there, until Merry's eyes were fixed on Iriana and Somi who chose to stay in their position.
“I want to talk personally with James, is it okay for us to come out for a while Iriana?” keep Merry on the theme.
“Of course, I will wait for Airyn here” said Iriana as if agreeing to it, of course James and Merry passed out of the room, lucky Airyn's room floor was in the VVIP room with strict guard, so make sure no one will hear their conversation, no one will even pass by in the hallway.
Merry sitting on the soft sofa in the waiting room, of course James also followed him “What's up with Airyn?” james asked impatiently again, making Merry sigh heavily.
“You know about the incident at Zates underground headquarters that was bombed by someone?” merry asked as he opened his mouth to speak, making James nod his head instantly. “Actually the mastermind was Airyn” when the speech made James' eyes perfectly round, even he could not control the shocked curls on his face when Merry's speech shook his mind.
“How can it?” james asked in disbelief, he certainly knew of the incident, but he still did not know who the mastermind was, even Airyn was also a victim of the accident, until he was treated in this hospital, but the mastermind over the underground incident was Airyn herselfri, what does that mean? Airyn wanted to kill herself.
“He collaborated with Jilixing to perform the smelting action of Zates underground headquarters, and assisted by Zates' own men. I know what you're thinking about James, and that's the truth, if Airyn wants to outsmart her own life, even when she finds out about that fact, I really remember Airyn saying ‘I'd rather just die, than be toyed with by this absurd fact.’ From there I felt Airyn had a mental problem that made her lose self-control, I was afraid that if she let it go, Airyn instead returned to the way she used to be, cold-hearted and horrible, and horrible, even he doesn't care about anyone including himself”
“I understand” said James when rubbing his head with a huff, he had expected this.
As powerful as humans, if related to the past that is still not finished, it will certainly have an impact on the present, even many cases of mental disorders like this that James encountered in his patient's life, so no wonder again why Airyn can be like now “May only he also wants to outlive life. But you know for yourself, Airyn and Hansell saved all of you from that. So I guess there was something in the last second that made Airyn change her mind, was there something that surprised her until she canceled it all?”
“Entahlah, but before Airyn lost consciousness, he said if he wanted to die alone, it's just that after he fainted Zates felt there were two children growing in his womb, he said, even when Airyn was so angry and angry with her horrible attitude, she instantly turned jolly over her conspicuousness. Do you mean, Airyn's pregnancy could make her change her mind”
“Can be, and you think. Did Airyn find out about the boy, he would still commit suicide? In a sense, there could have been others who violated Airyn's authority, and that person was those involved in the case. I do not deny how depressed Airyn is at the moment, he must accept the figure of his father who he considers dead, receive the background of his parents are surprising, he said, as well as accepting the fact that her husband is undeniable, but I think Airyn is a strong woman. He can still control the negative feelings to remain positive, if he says he has a mental disorder, I do not deny it all, even stress can be said as a mental disorder, he said, every day we are stressed, not. But I mean the mental Airyn at this time can only be measured with the syntoms in nature, that's what must be examined. If Airyn is not at present able to make peace with Zaterius, I think gradually as she realizes the presence of the man who is guarding her secretly, a Miss Petrov will begin to come to her senses, she said, Airyn can be cured with a few consultations, even with the current state and her who is fine to not interfere with activities, I think Airyn does not need to do treatment with a Psychiatrist, I think, even with the help of a psychologist Airyn was able to repair herself”
“So you mean, Airyn okay?” ask Merry again.
“I'm sure airyn's fine. But he needs some consultation and also some space to do counseling, then everything will be good. Although at this time I can't be sure, but I will monitor the situation secretly, and I will be careful over it. Don't miss the fucus of Airyn who just owned Merry's life, focus on who violated Miss Petrov”'s authority James exclaimed, making Merry speechless to look at the man, it feels like what James said was true, Merry and Zates and Hansell were too focused on Airyn who was the mastermind for smelting the underground headquarters, but if reviewed again, there was no way Airyn would bury her child even in the last seconds before she fainted Airyn wanted to kill herself. It's just that after learning there's a child, Merry believes her daughter has changed her mind, so there must be someone who has violated her authority, and not entirely due to Airyn.
“Sial!!! Who did that!!” merry grumbled when he was upset over what James said, even he wanted to tear apart the man who had intended to kill them.
