The entire time, Achilles watched in silence as the doctor examined Bella. His eyes did not leave her figure lying on the bed for a single moment.

　　He was very eager to hear what had gone wrong with her and he prayed in his heart that it was nothing serious. He didn't know what he would do with his life if something happened to Bella.

　　"Doctor" He called once the doctor took out the needle from Bella's hand. He had just given her an injection and almost immediately, she fell asleep.

　　"I just gave her a sedative to help her rest even better."

　　"Oh… ok. But what about her health? Is everything alright?" He asked, worried and the doctor let out a heavy sigh as he looked up at him.

　　"She's stressed up. That's why she got sick. I'll come back with some medicine when I come to check on her later today. For now, just let her rest "

　　"So…she's not really sick or something?" Achilles asked just to be sure.

　　"No, she is not. Like I said, she's stressed, that's why she had a high fever. But she's going to be alright when she wakes up from her nap."

　　"Thank you very much, Doctor Karl"

　　" It was a pleasure, Alpha Noah. I will take my leave now" he announced and Achilles nodded his head in approval.

　　Once the door was closed and just he and Bella were left in the room, he got on the bed and scooted her still body into his arms. Her temperature wasn't as high as it was when they woke up that morning and that made him feel very relieved.

　　"You scared the shit out of my pants today, Bella" He kissed her forehead. "Please don't ever fall sick like that again. Henceforth, I promise to take better care of you. I'll make sure this never happens again. Cross my heart." He whispered over her head as he kissed her numerous times.

　　She was his precious doll and he did not want to ever lose her or their unborn child.

　　"Diana" He called through the mind link and immediately, Diana responded.

　　"How is Bella?" Was the first question she asked.

　　"She's resting. Doctor said it's nothing serious, just stress." He explained and he could hear Diana sigh. "Are the chefs done cooking?" He asked.

　　"A while ago."

　　"Cool. That's all I wanted to find out. Talk to you la…"

　　"Achilles" Diana called hastily before he could block the mindlink.

　　"Yes, Princess. Anything the matter"

　　"Please come over to your office so we can talk about something . It's very urgent. Please" She pleaded with all seriousness and that got Achilles alarmed.

　　"What's wrong, love?"

　　"I can't say it over a mindlink. I need to tell you face to face. Please, it's really urgent "

　　"I'll be there in a minute." He said and blocked the mindlink. He looked at Bella sleeping peacefully in his arms and shook his head sadly. He did not want to leave her all alone, but he needed to go and see Diana. He placed a calm peck on her lips and put her to lie on the bed.

　　When he rose from the bed, he took one last glance at her before heading out of the bedroom.

　　As he walked over to his office, he hoped in his heart that what Diana had to say to him was very important because the idea of living Bella all alone in that bedroom plagued him.

　　"Diana, what's wrong?" He asked concerned as he walked into his office, making sure to close the door behind him.

　　"It's Alex" Diana announced and Achilles immediately halted on his tracks and gave her a hard glare.

　　The last person he wanted to talk about at that moment was Alex.

　　"Seriously? Alex?" He asked, annoyed.

　　"Look, it's serious okay." Diana insisted as she walked over to the door and leaned by it which was a way to indicate to him that he was going nowhere until he listened to what she had to say.

　　Achilles, who read the sign clearly, half sat on his office table and looked at her with his hands crossed over his breasts.

　　"I'm all ears." He announced.

　　"Look, I know you two are not on good terms and I know why."

　　"I'm glad you do"

　　"Achilles I've watched you guys fight over almost everything all your lives, but this one is different and I'm scared. Everyday I can't help but blame myself for causing this whole mess"

　　"Diana, you don't have to blame yourself for anything that is going on. It's not your fault Alex fell in love with Bella, it's not your fault she doesn't love him back and it is definitely not your fault he had chosen to fight a lost battle"

　　"The truth is, I sort of pushed him into this"

　　"What do you mean by that?" Achilles asked with a creased brow, confused.

　　Bella bit her lips nervously as she contemplated whether to tell him about the plan she made with Alex or not. "Diana…"

　　He called and Diana looked at him.

　　"Please don't get too angry with me. I only did it for your own good"

　　"What did you do Diana ?" Achilles asked impatiently.

　　"Well… when you kept insisting that you didn't want to marry Bella, I was devastated, so I made a plan with Alex. I asked him to get close to Bella so you'd get jealous and admit your feelings for Bella. I swear I had no idea Alex would fall in love with her. I'm sorry" Diana pleaded with her eyes closed.

　　She was so scared that she couldn't even look at him any more.

　　She waited for him to scream and shatter things as usual, but moments passed and nothing happened.

　　What she heard the next minute took her off guard. Achilles burst into an uproar of laughter that made her tremble on her spot. She opened her eyes and watched in horror as he laughed to the point where he could not even breathe.

　　"What's funny?" She asked, annoyed.

　　"You Diana. You are funny" Achilles told her as he tried to contain his laughter. "Well, that was a brilliant plan. Too bad Alex got too attached."

　　"Achilles, this is not a joking matter. Look, I spoke with grandma the other day and she kept telling me something about you two killing each other for love. Achilles I'm afraid, I don't want anything of that sort to happen "

　　"Well don't be. Because no matter what happens, I'm never going to kill my brother and I'm certain he would never think of doing such a thing as well. You of all people should know that Alex and I always have something to fight about. This is just one of those times when we fight over something and later on reconcile. We'll be fine, don't let it bother you" He assured her and she calmly nodded her head, but deep in her heart, she was not convinced by his words.

　　Their grandmother would never bring up such a serious topic for nothing.

　　"Is that what you wanted us to talk about?" Achilles asked and she quietly nodded her head.

　　"Next time, send a handwritten letter. This wasn't worth me leaving Bella all alone in my bedroom. " He said and left the room.

　　"You don't get it Achilles. You really don't get it" She whispered sadly as she sat on the couch.

　　It was left to her to make sure that her brother's don't kill each other.
