As much as I didn't want the trip to come to an end, all good things have to end. We boarded a plane and we went back to Singapore. The Singaporean air hit me immediately when we got out of the airplane and it made me nauseous. I have been feeling nauseous for a while now but right now it was very serious. I badly needed to get all the airplane food out of my system. Mr. Jiang picked us up at the airport and took us to the apartment, I thanked him and rushed into the building, to the apartment, into the toilet, and puked my guts out. All the amazing intercontinental meals are gone. I groaned, cleaned my mouth, washed my face, and left the bathroom. Walked out of the room to see Min struggling to bring everything into the apartment. He looked at me worry crafted in his brows. "Are you okay?" he asked."Yes I am, do you need my help?" I asked him. He looked at me but didn't push me any further. I helped him with my carry-on bag and left him in the living room with my big box. I left t
The doctor and I looked at Min worried, he wasn't saying anything, he was asking if I was pregnant. I and the doctor had confirmed his questions so many times that we were tired of doing it. I was hurt by his expression, I don't know what I expected by agreeing to come here and get treated when I knew what was wrong with me, now he was acting like he didn't want the child. I am not asking him to want it, but at least pretend, he's hurting me and the doctor feels uncomfortable. I am sure, he doesn't want to be in the middle of a family conflict. "Mr Lin, your wife is pregnant, six weeks pregnant and that is the cause of the morning sickness," the doctor said finally. His voice snapped Min back to reality and he stopped questioning me. "I am sorry about my reaction. I am very happy," Min said. He rushed to me, Held my hand, and smiled brightly. I badly wanted to believe he was lying, but there was so much genuineness in his words and his stare that assured me that everything was alrig
I was right to worry about Min and my parents finding out about the baby, I knew they would freak out and try to make me feel like I was making the wrong decisions but I made my choice already and no one is going to successfully change my mind, they would have to have to kill me and I am not dying until my cancer takes me away and I still have nine months. So I am not going anywhere. "What do you mean I have to abort my baby? You want me to kill my child, our child, your child?" I asked him. "Mei I know what you are doing and it is not working," he answered. "Well, it should work because you want me to be a murderer? What is the sentence for murdering someone?" I asked him. "It's still a fetus, you don't know its gender, so I think it is okay. And I am watching after you because it seems you do not care about your health anymore, but I do care about your health and you and I can't let you put your life at risk," he argued. "So you think aborting the fetus is the best option, you'
I had done everything to make sure my parents were settled into their chairs, I went to mine and felt awkward, so I continued to talk about the meal, but trusting my father, he interrupted me and asked about Min. Your daughter is here, why do you care about her husband whom you do not really like? "He's home," I replied. "Then why are you here?" He asked. "I missed mom," I answered. "Why didn't you call her before you came here?" He asked me."Because I wanted to surprise her," I replied. "What if she wasn't here?" he asked me. "I knew she would be home and isn't this my mom too? Or am I not welcome?" I asked. I didn't want to know his answer because Dad was always blunt and never sugar-coated anything. He looked me straight in the eye and told me I wasn't welcome. "You are welcome love," Mom said and held Dad's hand. He looked at her grip and held his tongue."How long are you going to be here," he asked. "A week or two," I answered. "And your husband i home?" He asked."Is
"Hi," I said with a wild smile as he turned shocked to see me, Mom and Dad. "Mr. Lin," Jim stammered as he saw my parents behind me. "Jim, why are you here?" Dad asked him. "I came to uh, see, you asked me to huh, I should have been more discrete but I wasn't patient enough," Jim said. "What did you just say?" Dad asked. "Nothing," He muttered. "I will let you go now but I want you to go and prepare to meet me in court with all your accomplices, also drop the document you're hiding, it will cause you more trouble than good," Mom added. Jim pulled out the document from underneath his shirt and placed it back on the table. "The safe was open and I just took a peep inside and the document spoke to me, it asked me to take it," Jim explained. There was something weird about the way he was just easily confessing the truth, was he trying to distract us from something? I barely got to ask questions before he took the file and ran out of the building. He was tackled before he got to the
Why was he reacting like Min? Was he also going to act like Min? Be happy and then in that very moment tell me to abort the baby because they feel like it wasn't okay for me to have a baby while fighting cancer. I could make my own decisions and this was the right decision. Agnes daughters make her so proud and happy and I want that for myself and Min, no matter what anyone has to say about it. "A baby? That's big. Why didn't tell us?" Mom asked and I turned to look at Dad. His reaction was the reason I didn't tell anybody. He was reacting the way Min did and I already did my research, I knew everything that could go wrong with me having a baby but I already decided to have a baby. "Mei," Mom called out and I pointed at Dad's face and the whole reaction on it. "I didn't tell you guys earlier because I wanted to find the right time and make sure that everyone understood that I was having a baby," I said. I stood up from my position on the ground and walked to the living room with my
I missed being home with Min. It was smaller, the rooms were cozier and homier, and it wasn't the huge mansion with so many rooms, definitely not ideal for a family of three. I snuggled into Min as he continued to massage my back. It was so good. I wish we could stay in bed all day, him giving me massages and whispering words of reassurance into my ears but he needed to head to work and I couldn't stay in bed all day, it wasn't healthy for me or the baby. Min lifted me and took me to the bathroom. He put me on the little stool and ran the bath for me. I smiled at him and sat there, like the queen he was treating me as. He left me in the bathroom and I was going to go after him but he returned a while later with a glass of water. "A cup of water before the morning routine," he said. I smiled at him and took the cup. While I nursed my cup of water, Min put a bath bomb in the bathtub and watched it foam as the tub continued to fill. He turned off the tap and turned to me. "Ready to
The girls all stormed into the living room staring at me like I was a sworn enemy. What have I done to deserve sure looks from everyone? They all walked into the apartment leaving me at the doorway. They greeted Min as he walked into the living room and ignored me although I was right beside him. "I will be in the study," Min said and excused himself. He couldn't have left the room any faster. He was so quick to leave me in danger. These women looked like they wanted to stone me to death. "Anyone want tea?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. I got no answer, turned to June, and asked the question I knew she couldn't resist. "Anyone want coffee?" "Yes please," June answered and I smirked. "June," Rachel reprimanded, the glare in her eye matching her red hair. "What have I done?" I asked. "What have you not done?" Julie asked. "Enlighten her," Chloe said. "She should pay a fine for causing all of us such worry," Chae suggested. "I am here guys, why does it feel like I a
