After eight hours, by 2:34 a.m., Mila's operation was almost done as Nishi carefully wrapped her head with bandages.
"We are done," Leonid said as they placed Mila in the other bed.
He kissed her forehead as they all came out.
Lilith immediately stood up. She wiped her face with her dupatta, her eyes filled with tears.
"The surgery was successful, and we gave Nick an injection. Both father and daughter are stable," Dr. Leonid said.
Lilith wiped her tears.
"Thank you so much," she said, folding her hands at them.
"Stop, Lily. We are all family. It's nothing," Dr. Clara said.
"No, come on. You need to sleep," Dr. Liv said.
They slowly took Lilith to the room.
Slowly, sleep consumed her.
It was morning.
Lilith was still asleep when she felt tiny hands touching her face.
"Wakey wakey, Mama," her baby said.
Her eyes opened, and her green eyes met her baby's blue eyes, the same beautiful blue eyes Mila had gotten from her papa.
"Good morning, Mama!" Mila said.
Lilith slowly sat up.
"Baby?" she whispered.
Mila's head was still bandaged as Lilith lifted her into her arms.
Mila immediately hugged her.
"I wuv you biggggg," she said.
Lily wiped her tears.
"How did you get here?" she asked.
"Good morning, my Queen."
Her monstrous beast husband entered the room carrying food.
"Nikki?" she whispered.
He kissed her.
"Yes, my Queen," he said.
Nikolai smiled at his tiny queen and gently wiped her tears.
Lilith touched both her babies.
They hugged her.
Nikolai held her tightly.
During breakfast, Zhanna suddenly vomited in the bathroom.
Salvatore held her hair.
"Out, Lily said.
As he obeyed, they did the test.
It was positive.
Salvatore sat down as Lily gave him the test.
"Congratulations," she said.
He took it and saw the two lines.
He immediately stood up.
Zhanna rubbed her tummy.
He lifted her into his arms and spun her around.
She giggled loudly and hugged him.
Meanwhile, Lilith held a cup of hot coffee as she entered the gym.
She saw both Nikolai and Dante boxing while everyone else was training.
Dante kicked him, and Nikolai gave him a punch.
Lilith dropped the cup and left for her hall.
She put on the anklets Nikolai had made especially for her.
As her performance began, Dante wiped the blood from his mouth.
"See, you got better now, huh?" he said.
Nikolai's mark was visible on his face.
"Fucker," Nikolai said.
"What's that sound?" Slisa asked.
Nikolai heard his tiny wife singing.
"Not what, but who," he said.
They followed the melodic voice.
Then they came to the hall.
A warm smile came upon Nikolai's face as he saw Lilith dancing and singing.

She sang while spinning round and round and round and round fast.
"Woahhh!" Edward said.
Nikolai watched her.
Suddenly, Mila came running in crying, running away from the nurses.
"Lily, stop! Mama hlwp!" she cried.
Lilith immediately lifted her into her arms.
"What's wrong, princess?" she asked.
"Meanies poking sharpy in me!" Mila said, crying.
"Oh baby, you're scared of needles?" she asked.
Mila buried her face in her mother's chest.
"You are the strongest girl ever, right, my little lioness?" Lily said.
Mila nodded against her chest.
Nikolai walked toward them and kissed his daughter's cheeks.
"Don't cry, my princess. It's good for you, love, and the yucky cancer will go away," he said.
Mila sniffed.
Dr. Liv sat down and held the injection.
"Look at Papa," Lily said.
Mila looked at Nikolai.
He made funny faces for her.
Mila sniffed as she giggled and touched his face.
He bumped his nose against hers, not knowing that Dr. Liv had already injected Mila with four doses.
"And we are done, Princess," Lily said.
"Rewlly?" Mila asked.
She saw the little heart bandage.
"See, all better," she said.
Mila hugged her mama.
"Aw, my precious girl," she said.
Meanwhile, Vishal carefully held Ramira's hand.
"She's about two months pregnant, and these are the diet pills and food she needs," Dr. Violet said.
Vishal took it and read each of the lists.
Ramira placed her hand on her tummy.
"Thank you," he said.
As he lifted her, she protested.
"Hey, put me down, Vishu," Ramira said.
"No walking for you," he said.
Vishal took her back to the room and rubbed her feet.
Vishal's phone rang.
"Hello?" he said.
His face fell.
"Here," he said.
She took the phone.
"Hello?"
"Ramira, why did he give the phone to you?" Namala said.
Vishal entered the bathroom.
"I think he's still angry. I spoke with him, but he's still angry," Ramira said.
She sighed.
"Maa, I have something to tell you," Ramira said.
"Yes, dear, tell me," Namala said.
"I am pregnant," she said.
The phone went silent.
"He got you pregnant?" she asked.
"Yes, Maa, and now he's not letting me move and going crazy," Ramira said.
She chuckled.
"Congratulations, my dear," she said. "I promise I will keep talking to him for you."
"Please do, dear, and take care of yourself. We will visit when you both come back," she said.
The call ended.
Yulian sat in his room as the door opened.
He saw his Virsa.
She placed the food down.
"Your food, sir," she said as she was about to go.
He grabbed her hand.
"Riri, please just look at me," he said.
Virsa had been keeping her distance after their kiss.
She looked away.
He made her veil fall off her hair.
He stood up and slowly smelled her hair.
Her eyes closed as his hand pulled her closer to him.
He placed a kiss on her neck.
She pulled away from him and tried to run from him.
He held her hand tightly and placed them both over her head.
She stared at him.
He pulled her closer and closer.
She gasped as he kissed her, moving closer to her ear.
Her hands dug into his hair.
"Sir," she whispered.
He unzipped her top.
Her cheeks turned red.
"Meri Riri(My wife)," he said.
She gasped when he kissed her lips.
Both lost control over themselves as Yulian made her skirt fall and he lifted her into his arms his pants fell and they eyes never left each other don't you dare look away he whispered she stare in his blue eyes as he penetrated slowly she grip his shoulder in pain shhhhh it will all go away he whispered in her ear as he thrusts slowly inside her tight guts Baby your so tight he said as he thrusts became brutal and hard his lips bite her everywhere.
It was morning.
Lily made Nikolai sit in front of her while she applied the hair oil she had made for him.
Virsa dropped the tea.
Nikolai noticed the hickeys on her arm and neck.
He frowned.
"Have you been meeting my brother?" he asked.
Virsa froze.
Lily looked at him.
"I…I…I…uhmm," she said nervously.
"Don't be scared," Nikolai said.
"Y…yes," she admitted, lowering her head.
He sighed.
"Fine, but you both be careful, just in case you get pregnant by him," he said.
Virsa blushed and nodded.
Lilith giggled at her.
By noon, Mila was by the glass window while the ship was still moving on the sea.
Her head was bandaged.
She placed her hand on the glass and smiled happily.
"I hewe wif Mama an Dada," she said.
She turned to see them making fun of each other.
She watched them with a smile on her little face.
She waddled to the children's room and fell asleep after five minutes.
Both parents saw her asleep.
They kissed her forehead.
"Our little lioness, sleep well, princess," they said.
They covered her with a blanket.
