"Why are you standing there?" Felix looked at his cousin who seems to be completely zoned out. "Didn't you say that you came to meet my girlfriend?"

Prince Alonzo snapped out from his imagination that was going wild the moment he entered the hospital room. He repeatedly blinked when his eyes met with the woman's beautiful amber eyes. He awkwardly smiled and walked towards the loving couple.

​​

"Hi, I'm Felix cousin, Alonzo Vasari. Nice to meet you." He introduced himself with a nervous mind and extended his right hand to her.

"I know you. You're Princess Gianna's son, isn't it? I'm Yelena Arista. Nice to meet you too, Prince Alonzo." Yelena did the same. She flashed a pleasantly warm smile as it was the first time she meets someone from Felix's side. She held his hand and gave him a handshake.

"You know him? How come?" Felix raised a brow. He didn't remember himself mentioning his family members to Yelena.

"Yeah." Yelena takes out her phone and proudly put next to her head. "This has everything, especially the information of a popular royal family like Edeladon." She hinted the past few days she spent looking up some articles and information about her boyfriend's family. She remembered most of their face through the photos.

"Really?" Felix exclaimed with joy after realizing the efforts she made for him. "To be honest, I was quite amazed when that liar didn't recognize me back then in Belden. As you said, we are quite popular." He said with a playful smile.

Liar?! Yelena rolled her eyes at him. Why did he always act like he was innocent? In her opinion, they were equal in that lying matter.

"Same here. Back then, I trusted everything that man said to me but it turned out that he had more than 70% lying rate." A mischievous smile plastered Yelena's face.

"70%?! Don't you think that's too much?" Felix retorted with a displeased face. Should it be around 10%? But no matter what, it's all in the past. He never lies to her after that day in Belden!

"Then yours is around 90%" Felix added which instantly made Yelena's victorious smile dropped.

She was about to retort but Prince Alonzo's action made her froze at once.

Prince Alonzo deliberately cleared his throat to remind the couple that they were not alone in the hospital room. He was standing just next to them the whole time but they behaved as if no one was around! Was he invisible in their eyes? He never felt this small before!

Yelena awkwardly tucked a hair behind her ear and smiled at Alonzo. "Sorry for that."

Her smile! It was the thing that made Alonzo's heart skipped a beat! As a Prince and a public figure, he had crossed path with many women. But no other women would match this soldier's beauty!

Well, others might not think that way, but he did. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

How can she still be this beautiful with a simple patient dress?! No wonder his cousin fell in love with her head over heels!

Prince Alonzo became a bit disheartened at the realization! Of course, this beautiful woman was his cousin's girlfriend!

Just by a single glance, anyone would notice that his cousin was not the only one who was lovestruck! The level of the feelings was surely mutual. Their eyes said everything!

"Zo, why don't you sit down?" Felix's voice aroused his cousin once again.

"Huh?" Alonzo dumbfoundedly turned around his head and realized that he was still standing next to them. Besides, the couple stared at him with a bewildered expression on their face.

"Sorry." He muttered and sat on the bench next to the bed. "I heard that you are the heiress of TR Group and an Army Captain. I was quite surprised because they are very contradictory." He just spat out the first thing that was on his mind.

Yelena's smile faded a bit when she heard the Prince's comment. "I hear that often but...I really have no plans to take over my mother's business. It's true that I'm the only daughter of TR Group but I don't consider myself the heiress." She explained.

Prince Alonzo nodded as if he understands what she was saying. In fact, it was the first time he ever come across someone who doesn't have interest in wealth and power. No...it was the second time and his memories of the first person was still vividly rooted in his mind.

"Do you have any idea with what news I bring today?" Felix asked Yelena with a bright smile.

"What is it?" Yelena's attention immediately shifted to Felix. There was no doubt that she was feeling excited as Felix never stops surprising her since the moment they met!

"About my promise to you." Felix hinted with a proud smile.

The moment she recalled his promise, Yelena's face brightened with joy. "Am I finally leaving the hospital?!" She exclaimed with a glimmering eyes.

"We will leave for your family villa in the countryside tomorrow. We will use your private jet for that." He notified her. When he witnessed her feeling so happy, he can't help but share her happiness too.

The countryside villa? It had been years since she last went there. Yelena used to visit the villa with her brother from time to time. It was the place which contained many of her sweet memories.

It will be a good place for her recuperation as the villa was surrounded by farm and orchard owned by her family. A few workers looked after the villa and it's surroundings all the time. It was the perfect example of nature beauty armed with great atmospheric conditions.

"I'm so grateful to have you around." Yelena can't take her eyes off of him. She barely resisted the urged to hug him as they were not the only one in the room. She even wondered how lucky she was for meeting a man like Felix. For the first time, she can't imagine her life without him!

What would she be like now if he leaves her for his country back then? What if he didn't look after her the whole time? She would be lonely and her life would surely turn more bitter because as of now, her family won't be able to fill the hole in her heart! They won't be able to make her feel less lonely.

Those who stay with you in your lowest times were the ones who really care about you and Yelena experienced just that.

He looked after her when she was not strong enough to look after herself. He must be tired after days of nursing her but never once did he complain. Instead, he always put on a smile for her!

Above all, he always treated her with respect! When will she ever find a man like him? Thinking through all this, Yelena looked at Felix, feeling overwhelmed by gratefulness.

"You never leave me when I needed you most and I promise that I will do the same for you. But I hope that there would never come a day when you needed to go through such lowest times."
