Suddenly someone knocked on their apartment door. L slammed the small camera in her hand and immediately opened the door. London was shocked when he saw Danny for the first time.

The young man looked very handsome, far more good looking than the faint image in a hidden camera video he saw on Jan's tablet last night.

Danny Swan looked neat with expensive outfits from head to toe. His face was handsome and serious. When he appeared in the doorway, his expression looked worried.

"Marianne, are you all right?" he asked L and quickly hugged her. The girl shook her head and broke away from him.

"Please take me away from here," L said in a tired voice. Her tears have dried, and she didn't want to cry anymore.

"Marianne?" London was surprised to hear that name. He did not understand why Danny called L by another name. Was this some kind of role-play between lovers where they pretend to be someone else?

"Please don't chase me anymore. I'm afraid of you. You're not the person I thought you were ..." L said, staring intently at London. "I thought you were a good man ... But..."

"You're wrong. I'm not a bad person. I'm watching you because I want to take care of you, that's all ..." London was still trying to coax L, "I have no bad intentions. Please remember carefully, besides watching you .. did I do anything bad? Did I ever? "

L was stunned and looked at London without being able to reply. In her head came various images of how London had treated her so well.

She remembered how the man immediately exclaimed that he was willing to take responsibility when he found out about her pregnancy.

She also remembered how every day, without missing a day, London always brought flowers for her because he knew every woman liked flowers, he also cooked healthy food for her and always made sure she ate well and took her vitamins.

The man was only absent from giving her flowers and preparing food in the last ten days because he said he was in Singapore visiting his sister. If indeed, what he said about going to Singapore was true.

He might be good to me, what he did was unforgivable, L thought while biting her lip.

What she hated the most is being lied to. And that's where London mess up. Not only did he lie to her, but London also spied on her. At present, it was very difficult for L to trust him.

"I don't know who you really are ... if you are truly a good person or if all these are just a scam..." L finally said in a hoarse voice. "You claim to be a photographer, but it turns out you have a relationship with the mafia .. You treat me well, but at the same time, you also spy on me and control my life ... You scare me."

London was stunned to hear L.'s words. He didn't think everything he did for L would only end like this. All just because he wanted to cover up his identity ...

"Elle ... or Marianne ... whoever you are ... Please, listen... I can explain everything." London walked toward L slowly while reaching out his hand. "I promise, from now on, I will be honest to you ..."

L crossed her arms on the c.h.e.s.t. "Nothing prevents you from being honest earlier."

London glanced at Danny. "I will tell you the truth. All about me ... but not in front of him."

"Danny is my future husband. Whatever you want to say to me, you can say in front of him," L replied in a cold voice.

Danny walked to L's side and held her hand. "Marianne, let's go. We don't need to linger here. Remember, you can't be stressed."

His eyes were full of affection, and it made London feel like being stabbed in the c.h.e.s.t. He felt hurt. Danny and L's relationship looked very close. They didn't seem like people who had only met each other for a few days. Moreover, Danny clearly called L by another name. Had they known each other for a long time?

Suddenly he felt as if he was a stranger among this couple, the third wheel.

"Why can't you be stressed?" asked London quickly. "Does this have something to do with your pregnancy? Why didn't you say anything to me?"

"Killian," L raised her hand, stopping London from approaching her. "If you have something to say, please say it now. I'll wait. If not, I'll leave. I'll let you know when Lily is born so you and Finland can pick her up."

London felt his c.h.e.s.t tighten. He really wanted to tell L his identity at this time. If L knew who he really was, she would surely be able to understand why London did it all.

But he won't be able to do it in front of a stranger like Danny Swan. The secret about his family, about the Alchemists, is not for just anyone to know.

Finally, he could only shake his head. "Sorry, I can't do it."

L suddenly cried and hit him. "You're too much. Even until the last moment, you still don't want to be honest with me !!"

"I ... I ..." London did not avoid her punch at all. He received blow after blow from the girl's tiny hands. He did not feel pain in his body due to L's beatings. It was his heart that was hurt, seeing L was going away because of a small mistake he made so that he could keep her safe.

Suddenly L's hand that hit London's c.h.e.s.t stiffened, and the girl g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain. Her face became as pale as cotton, and a second later, she had slid to the floor. Her body would have fallen to the floor hard if London had not hurriedly caught her.

"She fainted ..." murmured London in panic. Danny immediately chased L and tried to pull the girl's body from London's l.a.p. He was kneeling on the floor with L's head in his arms.

"You stress her out!" denounced the young man. He tried to dismiss London's arms to release L, but London did not budge. Finally, Danny grabbed London's shoulders and forced him to let go. "Let her go. Marianne has a heart condition!!"

"What ... what did you say?" Instantly a great panic struck London. He did not know L had a heart problem. In that case, her condition was now very dangerous. She did not just faint.

With great concern, he hurriedly got up and carried L's body in his arms. Danny chased him immediately and tried to snatch L away from him.

"Where are you going? I'm a doctor! I can treat her... !!" exclaimed Danny.

London immediately shouted for the two bodyguards who had been on standby in the adjoining apartments while he waited for the elevator door to open.

"Marc, Dave ... you take care of this man. I will take L to the hospital!"

DING

The elevator door opened, and London immediately entered. Danny, who tried to get in, was caught by the two big and sturdy men who showed up as soon as London called to take care of him.

"Wait ... who are you guys?" Danny was shocked to see the two intimidating men. He tried to break away from them but his efforts failed. Angry, Danny tried to kick and hit, but he was not a match for Marc and Dave. "Let me go! If my bodyguard gets here ... They will beat the crap out of you!!"

Meanwhile, in the elevator, London noticed L's pale face in his arms. He was worried sick, especially now that L's pregnancy had entered the third trimester, her condition was very vulnerable.

When the elevator door opened, he immediately walked out to his Mercedes, which was still parked in front of the apartment building. When he was about to put L into the back seat, he was shocked by the liquid seeping from under the girl's dress.

Oh, God...

Was this amniotic fluid? Will she... will she give birth? But she was only 6.5 months in...

Oh, God...

Please... don't take my child.. Please, let her live ...

London's tears were flowing down hard as he hurriedly placed L in the back seat, as gentle as possible, then contacted Jan.

"Jan ... L is going to give birth. I am heading to the hospital. Please prepare everything. This is very urgent."
