This is my fault!!! I brought disaster and misfortune to him!!! He became the sitting duck on a chopping board because of me!!!

"What are you waiting for?!! Help me take him back to the mansion and look for physicians!!!" She angrily yelled at the guards.

"Beatrix... It is you... I am so glad..." Zander opened his eyes, face so pale, and he tried to smile.

"Idiot!!! Do not talk anymore!!! Save your strength!!!" She angrily yelled at him because of too much worry.

They were able to get him inside the mansion to be treated by physicians. Beatrix is so scared and worried while waiting for any news. Finally, the head of the general mansion's physicians went outside and told her devastating news!

"Lady Beatrix, I am truly sorry... He lost too much blood. Most of his vital organs are pierced. It is already a miracle that he is still breathing until now. We already did what we could. It is now up to him whether he survives or not..." The physician sadly informed her.

"Can I see him now?"

"Yes, but he is still unconscious."

Beatrix never leaves his side, praying that he survives and recovers soon. She remained awake until Zander King finally opened his eyes. His face is so pale.

"Beatrix..." He softly calls her name, feeling so tired and weak. Even saying this one name makes him cringe in pain.

"I am here... Do not talk! Just save your strength!" Beatrix told him and finally decided to tell him the truth about her. She needs to explain what happened. She blamed herself for not telling him ahead of time.

"Husband, I need to tell you something..." She said as her tears flowed like a river.

"Do not cry..." He said and reached out to wipe the tears. "I will listen..."

"Didn't I tell you not to talk and just save your strength?! Just listen to me and do not interrupt! You could hate me after you completely recovered. This is the truth that you have been asking me before..."

Beatrix summarized everything starting from her first lifetime until her fourth lifetime. She explained why they faked her illness to break the betrothal, why they urged the Emperor and Empress to arrange a beneficial marriage for the two princes, and even the reason behind her marriage to him. Beatrix confessed to him everything even the things that she discovered and what happened after he passed out in the brothel.

"I see... Everything makes sense now... I now understand why... " Zander King weakly replied.

Beatrix cried miserably when she said: "I am sorry I did not tell you earlier. It is not that I do not trust you. It is because I do not want to talk about it anymore. Everything is my fault! I lost our baby and now you were harmed! Husband, you need to survive! I will not blame you if you hate me now and wants to separate from me. If you want a divorce after you recovered, I will give it to you..." Then her tears burst like a flood. She cried unrestrainedly and sorrowfully.

"No divorce... Not your fault... Do not cry..." He said softly and helplessly making his wounds more painful and his face paler. The last thing he wants is a divorce! He does not want to separate from her! Not now! Not ever!

"I said do not talk! You rest now and just get mad or fight with me after you completely recovered!" Beatrix stood up to continue crying her heart out outside.

"Do not go..." He raised his hand to prevent Beatrix.

Beatrix held his hand, intertwined their fingers, and went closer to him since it appears that he wants to tell her something but he lacks in strength.

"Hug me..." He weakly asked her.

"Are you crazy?! Your wounds will be pressed!" She answered feeling so worried and horrified.

"Hug me..." He repeated.

Beatrix complied but never make it tight for fear of hurting him and doing more damage.

"Tighter... I want to feel it..." He told her weakly but full of love and emotion.

"This is enough! Recover from your wounds first and I will give you a smothering hug!" She only sounds angry but she is scared to hurt him.

"Kiss me..." He softly asked.

This time, Beatrix gave him a light peck for fear of aggravating his situation.

"More...kiss..." He asked again.

"Are you itching for a beating?! I will give you more kisses after you recover!!!" She does not know what to do with him anymore.

"I love you, Beatrix... Do you..." He expressed his feelings to her and wants to ask her too.

"I love you too! Will you stop straining yourself now?" She immediately answered what he wants to know so he would stop inflicting pain on himself but he is very stubborn now. He did not listen to Beatrix as he continued talking. When she is so close, he begins to tell her softly, almost a whisper... She did not stop him anymore and listened to what he wanted to say...
