Jessica didn't reply at once. She just filled a cup of milk, then put it in front of Kevin. "Jonas or not, you really need to take more care of your body. Anya needs you.”Kevin took the cup. “And you? Do you need me also?”Jessica was shocked. She didn’t think Kevin would say that. For a͏ bit, she just looked at the table, not meeting his eyes.“That’s not the point, Kevin.”“But that is what I want to know,” Kevin's voice stayed calm, though it sounded more soft. “I know I have done a lot of wrong things Jessica. But lately you and Jonas got closer.”Jessica straightened her back. “What do you mean?”Kevin sighed, looking out the window for a bit. “I’m not silly Jessica. I saw how he gazed at you. And you… you didn’t step back.”

They shared breakfast as a family—Anya was eating her bread while seated on Jonas’ lap. After breakfast, they decided to head to the backyard to play together. Jessica got a mat, storybook, and a small ball, and Anya raced towards the grass, bursting with laughter while attempting to outrun Jonas, who was chasing her.Jessica prepared orange juice while watching the children through the kitchen glass. He initially impression suggested they were a complete little family.However, part of her still struggled with some unseen boundaries.After running until she was tired, they rested under a shady mango tree. Anya dozed off on Jessica’s lap, and Jonas sat quietly next to her watching Jessica. “You look peaceful when you’re with her,” he said gently. Jessica turned her head to look at him."Anya... s

When the nurse went away she grabbed her phone and opened the picture album. There was an image of Anya napping in her arms, a pic with her dad in the kitchen, a snap of Jonas quietly kissing her head while they sat in the hospital yard.She tapped the screen then whispered; “I will fight I will be back”Afternoon after the chemo time was done Jessica stopped at the office to ask for info about the costs. She knew her savings were low. She had secretly sold some of her things, even thinking about selling a house from her mother’s inheritance.“Sorry, Mrs. Jessica,” said the cop “For this round͏ of chemo... everything is paid in full.”Jessica was surprised. “Paid for? By whom?”The cop looked at the system. “Paid in a name of Kevin Aprilio”Jessica stopped. Her hands squeezed the paper she was

Without noise, tears rolled down her cheeks. Words were of no consequence. To Jessica, Anya’s embrace and loving gaze said everything. That was ample. In the afternoon, Jonas brought the results of the follow-up test. Finding Jessica sitting down, he shared the news. After Anya resumed playing, he showed her the examination results.“Your response to chemo is quite good. But we need to add one more cycle. Your body is strong, Jessica. You can do it.”“I’m beginning to notice that I might be losing hair, and I’m scared that one day I’ll wake up and my body won't function normally.” Jonas softly held her hand.“I know you’re frightened. But you are not alone.”Jessica glanced at Jonas. “Is it okay if I share something?” “Always.”

He stared at Jonas sharply. “That’s you?”Jonas moved his head bit by bit. “No, but I know a person.”Jessica frowned. “Kevin?”Jonas nodded.Jessica fell silent.Jonas went on, “He paid for all things without telling no one. I just found out yesterday when I asked because there was a chance to enter the patient's priority.”Jessica felt her mind blur. She didn’t take her eyes off the IV drip and the fluid that was dripping at a steady pace.“Why did he do that?” she inquired as though voicing the question took a toll on her. Jonas exhaled sharply.“Maybe... because of guilt. Or love that he couldn’t express. Or because he realized you were the only person who cared about Anya like your own flesh and blood.”

Randy looked at his girl for a bit, then said softly “Do you love the him.”The ask made Jessica stop. She looked at the TV screen that was now showing the weather, then said “Yes But this time it feels different, calmer deeper.”Randy shook his head. “So don’t let go and don’t do the same errors like last time”Jessica knew what he meant. She nodded.At about nine in the night Jonas said good bye. He grabbed his docs bag and wore a jacket."I'll head home first, alright? I'll return tomorrow morning to see how you are and take you to the hospital."Jessica took him to a door. The air out side was getting chilly, the scent of rain had not fully gone.“Are you certain you do not wish to remain for the night?” she inquired.Jonas grinned. “You need a little time by you
