Arriving at the house, Ethan immediately walked into the house to his room with slow steps. He felt tired, tired of all the annoying facts that made him feel stupid for decades, even his only daughter was also a victim of that stupidity.
“Honey,” said Luna when she noticed Ethan’s presence. She was in the dressing table chair and combing her hair which was still beautiful, none of which had turned white even though she had become a grandmother because she had a grandson from Keenan.
“I hate myself. I have failed to be both a father and the leader of a family who can make my wife and kids comfortable.” Ethan said wearily, then sat on the edge of the bed.
Luna got up from the chair and walked over to Ethan. “Why did you say that? Is there another problem?”
“Sarah has lied to all of us, even Mr. Hans and Aaron have become evil because of her lies.” Ethan leaned his head on Luna’s shoulder who was now sitting beside him.
“Sarah is lying? What’s the point of lying?” Luna frowned.
Ethan stepped off Luna’s shoulder, then said “she’s not crazy. She’s just mild depression and never in a coma. She is the mastermind behind our daughter’s suffering. I’m sick of her, I don’t even want to think of her as the grandmother of the unborn Keyra’s baby!”
“Oh, God. So, it all happened because of her lies?” Luna looked surprised.
Ethan just nodded.
Luna sighed, it felt like an incomparable pain hit her heart when she remembered everything she had gotten because of Sarah. Starting from claiming to be Ethan’s lover, hurting Viona by being Edward’s mistress, deceiving Edward, slapping, accusing her of being a perpetrator, accusing her of being the cause of Edward’s death, and now being the cause of Keyra’s suffering.
.
“She’s very good at acting,” Luna muttered with teary eyes, remembering how when she was heavily pregnant she had to bear the burden of thinking because Sarah slandered Ethan. Even Viona’s misunderstanding that pushed her down the stairs was also because of Sarah. “I don’t know what else to say. She’s made my daughter suffer more than me.”
Ethan embraced Luna. Letting her cry in his arms, then kissing her hair which is always fragrant and soft.
Luna let go of Ethan’s embrace and immediately wiped her tears. “Will she be punished for this lie?” She asked.
“Initially I wanted her to admit all her mistakes and we reconcile as a family because we have kids who were conceived by Keyra, but it turns out that she just stands like a useless stone…I’m so sick of it and want to teach her a lesson,” Ethan explained irritably.
“She always blames us, because Edward always wanted you until the end of his life . . she is a stupid woman who wasted decades just to wait for her son to grow up and repay her hatred for us by hurting Keyra…I don’t know I can still look at her face again or not, I hate it and Keyra’s two children don’t need to know her as a grandmother. She’s the meanest granny I’ve ever seen!” he continued with annoyance, even his hands were clenched into fists. But who was he going to hit?
Luna sighed, then felt Ethan’s jaw while staring at him intensely. “Don’t hold grudges, honey. This is painful for us, for Keyra, and for anyone who feels fooled by her lies..but even so, she is Aaron’s mother and Aaron is the father of Keyra’s two baby to be born. Don’t let this grudge continue to burn in our hearts, or our family will never be at peace.”
“Then can’t we punish her?” asked Ethan wistfully.
“Let it go, let it be how she will live her life. Whether she wants to apologize to us or not, let it go while she doesn’t disturb our family’s comfort anymore,” explained Luna steadfastly. Because peace is what she wants in her old age.
Ethan nodded in understanding and grabbed Luna’s hand which was still on his jaw, then kissed it while closing his eyes for a moment. “Only you always make me calm. And you always bring peace to me, my heart, and peace to our kids. I’m sure our family will return to peace after Keyra gave birth and then married Daniel.”
“Ah, yes. Daniel has made Keyra get back up and move on. I am very grateful that Richard blessed his son to become our future son-in-law. He is just as good as you.” Luna remembers the times when she was young with Ethan who gave her attention when she was pregnant, even though they weren’t in love with each other. Like Keyra who gets the attention of Daniel who she doesn’t love.
“You guys are the same..but hopefully Keyra can go smoothly during childbirth because the moment of giving birth was the most terrible moment for me,” said Ethan while remembering when Luna had to have C-section and ended up in a coma.
“She must be able to give birth smoothly…Besides, I was not good because falling down the stairs,” said Luna as she got out of bed, then walked back out of the room.
Ethan nodded. “Hopefully so.” He remembered again when Luna fell down the stairs and so far he didn’t know why.
“Honey,” Ethan called.
Luna, who was still in front of the door, turned to look at Ethan. “Why?”
“Why did you fall down the stairs?” asked Ethan, raising an eyebrow.
Luna smiled faintly, then replied, “I just slipped, and that’s also because my stomach feels heavy.”
“I thought there was a ghost pushing you,” said Ethan with a small smile. He immediately took off his shoes and clothes because he wanted to take a shower.
Luna continued to walk out of the room, then across the stairs where she could fall because Viona pushed her. ‘Sorry that I can’t be honest, because I don’t want you to get more emotional with the fact that I’ve been hiding with Viona for a long time. The most important thing is that Viona has admitted her mistake and has been nice to me and our family,’ she thought as she walked down the stairs.
Arriving on the ground floor to be precise in the living room, Luna walked towards Keyra’s room, which had indeed moved to the ground floor since her womb was getting bigger. The middle-aged woman felt that she had not seen her daughter again since Daniel had just brought her home.
“Maybe she overslept and forgot to eat.” Luna guessed because Keyra rarely eats if she is not painstakingly persuading her.
Arriving at Keyra’s room, Luna knocked on the door many times but got no response. She turned the door handle and found it was not locked.
Luna’s eyes successfully widened when she opened the door and found Keyra lying on the floor with a sideways position holding her stomach. She rushed over to her daughter.
“Keyra, wake up! Why are you like this?” Luna frantically tried to wake Keyra up. she patted her daughter’s cheek lightly, hoping to wake her up.
Keyra was still unconscious. Luna increasingly panicked and immediately rushed out of the room and wanted to seek help. Incidentally she saw Kevin who had just come from the living room to the living room.
“Kevin, your sister faint in the room!”
“Faint?” Kevin, who was relaxed, immediately panicked and rushed over to Keyra in the room, while Luna immediately told Ethan.
