"Looks like the recovery process is going well," said Doctor Lehmann to Ren. They both stood in the doorway, discussing Fae''s condition. Meanwhile, the girl was sitting by her bed and watching the snow drifting from the window.

    "Can I take her abroad?" asked Ren.

    "Where do you want to take Madam?" asked Doctor Lehmann in surprise.

    "Even though her wound has almost healed, her heart still hurt. I want to take her to a warm and pleasant place so that Fae can slowly recover mentally," said Ren softly. He looked down sadly. "Then I''ll tell her that our children are gone."

    Doctor Lehmann took a deep breath. He knew that Ren had lied to his wife about her pregnancy, and he understood why. The only way to get Fae to eat and receive treatment was to use her children as an excuse.

    He also hoped that Fae would recover her mental state in the not too long time so that Ren could talk to her and tell her the true condition.

    "Good thinking, Sir. I think tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You can bring Madam with you to a warmer climate," said Doctor Lehmann, nodding. He looked at the beautiful girl who seemed to be contemplating by the window, then tapped Ren''s shoulder and excused himself to go home.

    "Fae, Honey ... it''s time to eat," said Ren as he walked over to Fae. The girl still didn''t want to look at him. Ren didn''t give up. He touched Fae''s hand and squeezed it gently. "If you don''t want to eat, then our children would not get their nutrition ..."

    Fae took a deep breath and looked down. She stared at her stomach and unconsciously stroked her belly lovingly. Finally, she nodded weakly.

    "Then, come with me. You can eat in the dining room," said Ren. He tried to help Fae wake up. Meanwhile, Fae, who had thought she would eat on the bed, finally raised her face and looked at Ren in amazement. For the first time, he saw Ren''s face filled with grief. Fae was stunned.

    She had never seen Ren like this before. Why did he look so sad?

    Did he regret letting Amelia hurt Fae? Fae looked at her husband''s face without blinking.

    She didn''t know that Ren felt so devastated by the incident had befallen her, that his face was filled with grief.

    "Is there something on my face?" asked Ren while trying to smile. However, his smile seemed so contrasting with his pair of brown eyes that had completely lost their light. Fae felt as if she saw a body without a soul.

    Why did Ren change like this?

    She also realized how Ren had been treating her extraordinarily well in the past week. He was never far from Fae. Ren always took care of Fae''s personal needs, fed her, cleaned her body, and changed her clothes. He even slept beside Fae and holding her hand every night.

    Her husband was totally acting like a loving husband who would do anything for his wife.

    Why did Ren change like this? Fae was confused again.

    If Ren was mean to her, it would be easy for Fae to hate him and leave as she always wanted. But now, Ren was back to being nice to her ... too nice. Fae really didn''t understand his change of attitude.

    "If I can eat in the dining room .. that means I''ve recovered," said Fae finally. "I have to leave immediately ..."

    "No, don''t say that, Fae," said Ren quickly. "You don''t have to go. I want you to stay here with me."

    Fae shook her head. "We''ve talked about this. We don''t want the same thing, Ren. You don''t want children, and I want them. There are so many things you have to do. You have a responsibility to the country ..."

    "Fae ... I didn''t plan on having children, that''s true, but I want them." Ren looked at Fae deeply, as if trying to make the girl read his heart. "I just needed time to think about what to do with your pregnancy. I left you back then NOT because I don''t want them ... but because I needed time to think. And I''ve decided that I want to stay with you and raise them together. I''m going to change everything. my plans ... they don''t matter anymore."

    Fae was stunned to hear Ren''s statement. It was completely unexpected. Why did Ren suddenly say this?

    "You are the prince, the crown prince. There is no way you can suddenly announce to the public that you are married and will have children. It will shock the public and may damage the court''s reputation," said Fae firmly. "I think it''s better if my kids and I go out of your life. I can''t stand you keep confusing me. You don''t know what you really want. You keep changing your mind."

    "I know what I want. I always know," Ren said stubbornly. "What I wanted in the past was different from what I wanted now. At the moment, I only want you and our children. I will leave everything behind to be with you and let the royal family solve their own problems."

    "Ren .. you have a responsibility to the country ..."

    "I only have a responsibility to my family, and it is you and our children." Ren said again. He grabbed Fae''s left hand with both hands gently and looked at the girl with a pleading face. "Please, give me a second chance to make up for all my mistakes ..."

    Fae looked at Ren with teary eyes. She loved this man very much, but Ren had also hurt her a lot.

    She didn''t know if she could forgive him.

    Finally, Fae looked away. She couldn''t stand being stared at like that by Ren. The man''s gaze was full of sadness, making Fae feel sad too.

    "I want to eat ..." Finally, Fae spoke softly. She didn''t want them to stay in that position for long.

    "Oh .. okay. Let''s go to the dining room," said Ren with relief. He stood up and helped Fae get out of bed. With slow and weak movements, Fae moved and lowered her feet from the bed.

    When both of her feet stepped on the floor, Ren immediately took the slippers and put them on her feet. Fae just stared at his actions with a murky face.

    She then tried to stand up to walk to the living room, but since she had been lying in bed for a week, her legs felt so weak from not being used for too long.

    "Let me help," said Ren softly. Before Fae could protest, he carried the girl in his arms.

    Spontaneously, Fae wrapped her hands around Ren''s neck so that her body wouldn''t sway. Ren kissed her cheek and walked to take Fae to the dining room.

    "I''ve been learning to cook for a week," the man whispered.. "I hope you like what I''m going to cook for you and our children."
