บท 24: Chapter 24 Secrets

Rayan took Lia to the hospital, feeling proud as he stood in the hallway. He smiled as he called the police, telling them a story about how his friend had been mentally abused by Lilith, which led to her suicide attempt. Just as he finished the call, a sudden slap hit his cheek, shocking him.

"What did you do, Rayan?" His grandfather glared at him, his anger clear.

"Grandpa…" Rayan's voice shook, feeling mixed emotions.

"Be quiet!" his grandfather shouted, making Rayan flinch. "Do you really think we should marry someone useless with no good background? Do you even know who Lilith is?" His voice turned serious. "Do you understand how much marrying Lilith could help us?"

Rayan felt confused, his earlier belief fading away. "What are you hiding from me?" he yelled, frustration boiling as he touched his sore cheek.
