Episode 2

As the man walked in, Aily felt cramped by the people who were pushing their way to stay in the middle of the crowd, causing Aily to be thrown to the floor behind the crowd.

"You're rude!" Aily yelled at the people who ignored her. "Do you not know who I am?" she muttered to herself while sitting on the floor.

"What are you doing sitting here, Aily!" suddenly made Aily look towards the source of the voice, quickly she ran towards Aily.

"Eria!!!" Aily exclaimed with a wide smile on her face as she looked at her friend, Eria hugged Aily and lifted her up to stand again, "What are you doing here?" Eria asked, looking very worried about Aily.

"I'm not hurt, Eria," Aily said as she saw Eria examining her body. "What are you doing here?" Aily asked because she didn't remember informing her only friend that she was at the hospital.

"My sibling is being treated here," Eria said. "Are you going to leave right away?" she asked again, as she still wanted to chat with her friend whom she had not seen for a week.

"What's the matter? Do you miss me?" Aily teased her friend. "Go meet your sibling first, I'll wait for you there," Aily pointed to the place where she had been sitting earlier.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right back," Eria said, then kissed Aily's forehead and left her. Then Aily ordered a drink again and waited in the same spot where she had been sitting before.

A man wearing a black suit, who was a bodyguard, opened the door for his master, the man's footsteps made everyone inside turn towards him.

The atmosphere, which was previously noisy, quickly turned silent for a moment when a man they had been waiting for finally arrived.

"Oh my, my head hurts," complained the old man who was sitting on the patient's bed in the VVIP room, grimacing in pain after a handsome man who was known as his grandson came to his hospital room.

"Are you okay, Papi?" said a middle-aged woman, looking very worried about her father-in-law's health.

The handsome man who had just arrived only smiled cynically at his grandfather's acting, he leaned against the wardrobe, folding his hands in front of his chest.

"Why are you just coming here now, your grandfather is seriously ill, Rion!" snapped a middle-aged man who had brought him into this world.

Asterion Estevan, a handsome 27-year-old man, just stared flatly at his father, Albert Estevan. Asterion, or often called Rion, was getting tired of seeing his family drama always faking illnesses just to get what they wanted from him.

"So how much longer does grandpa have to live?" Rion asked without filtering his words.

"You disrespectful grandson!!!" Grandpa, whose real name was Asli Estevan, immediately threw a pillow at Rion, who had been disrespectful to him. Rion quickly dodged the pillow. Then he looked sarcastically at his grandfather, who always gave him a headache.

"Rion! You shouldn't talk like that to Grandpa Van!" scolded Meria, her first son's behavior making her feel very ashamed of her father-in-law.

"But wasn't it a year ago when the doctor said grandpa could only live for 3 months?" Rion asked, trying to bring up his lie from a year ago. "Grandpa is lucky to still be alive now," he continued.

Rion spoke like that for a reason, because Grandpa Van always pretended to be ill when he wanted to arrange a marriage for his grandson with a woman of his choosing.

For example, a year ago, he pretended that his life wouldn't last long so that Rion would fulfill his wish to get married soon.

Brak

The sound of the door being pushed open very loudly by a young girl with glasses and braided hair running towards her grandfather with a worried look on her face.

"Grandfather...are you okay, grandfather?" shouted Eria as she entered her grandfather's room and immediately hugged the old man.

Grandfather Van chuckled softly, only Eria cared about him, "I'm fine, my dear. My heart just acted up," the grandfather said to Eria while stroking his granddaughter's head.

"Wasn't it his head that was hurting earlier?" asked a handsome man who was sitting on the couch, looking disdainfully at his grandfather.

And immediately he was met with a scornful look from a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful and youthful. The woman was Meria, Rion and Eria's biological mother.

"Is it true? Grandfather's head is hurting too?" Eria asked with great concern.

"Grandfather is feeling better now, Eria. Please don't make him have a headache again," Meria pleaded with her daughter.

Everyone immediately looked at Rion as he was about to stand up and walk away. "Enough, I have to leave for a meeting," he said while looking at the luxurious watch on his wrist.

"Wait, Rion, Grandfather wants to talk for a moment," Grandfather Van looked at Rion sternly. He didn't want his efforts this time to fail again. After canceling a meeting with a woman he had chosen to be his date, a month ago.

"What is it? I don't have much time," Rion said with a blank expression.

Estevan was very annoyed with his grandson's stoic attitude. If it wasn't for Rion being his first grandson, he would have chosen another grandchild to marry and have offspring. Unfortunately, the other grandchildren were not yet 20 years old.

Whether he liked it or not, the grandfather had to be patient and work harder to persuade Rion to get married soon. He was very worried because Rion had never shown any interest in a woman, making him question Rion's true identity.

"I want you to marry the woman of Grandfather's choice!" Grandfather Van said seriously, staring at Rion, "And there will be no refusal! This is the last time Grandfather asks something of you!" he said earnestly, staring sharply at his grandson.
