BUT ONLY LOVE CAN TELL (ENGLISH VERSION) Chapter 15
Chapter 15Marinel’s POVI WANTED to pull Nica's hair. She got in the car first and even sat beside Andy. She’s really losing it."Nel," Enzo, who was sitting beside me, called. Andy and Nica were sitting up front. I turned to him."Why, Enzo?" I asked. He let out a deep sigh."Is it still okay to hope for her?" he said seriously but in a whisper.I felt a slight sting in my chest. I thought he was trying to forget my cousin. Why does it feel like he’s still hoping?"There’s nothing wrong with hoping. There’s also nothing wrong with being confused. The decision is still yours, Enzo," I replied.I felt like my heart was struggling."I hope this will be better," he said with a smile.I sighed. Why do I always end up like this?WHEN we arrived at Andy's favorite resort, we all went to get our rooms. Like Enzo said, he paid for everything. He's the rich guy after all."Oh my God! Nel! Our room is so nice!" Nica exclaimed excitedly."Is that so?!" I replied, annoyed.We were going to sleep

Chapter 16Marinel's POV I’VE BEEN holding back my tears for a while now. I clearly saw my cousin holding Enzo’s hand earlier. And they looked so happy together. I grew more anxious. What if they’re really back together? What if everything’s settled between them? I took a deep breath. I also noticed that both Nica and Andy had been suppressing their emotions—anger, maybe—and I didn’t know why."This is so annoying! My God!" Veronica exclaimed. "This is ridiculous!" Andy added. "Andy, there’s—" I didn’t get to finish what I was going to say because Enzo suddenly appeared in front of us. Nica and Andy immediately went quiet."Can I talk to you, Nel?" he asked. I stood up."Of course, I also have something to say," I replied.I wanted to tell him everything before it was too late. I walked ahead and stopped in front of a small hut, just far enough from the others."Enzo, I just wanted to—" I was cut off when he suddenly hugged me."Nel, thank you for doing that for me. I really owe yo

Chapter 17Marinel's POV I’VE BEEN staring at the ceiling for three hours now. I don’t even have any tears left to cry. So this is what it feels like to fall in love for the first time. That kind of pain that consumes you just because you feel something for someone. What’s even worse is that he loves someone else. I thought love was supposed to be all happiness, but once you start to feel it—that’s when your suffering begins.“Nel…” I heard Nica call from outside our room.“Come in…” I replied hoarsely. Her eyes were teary, and she hugged me immediately.“How are you feeling?” she asked.“Like I’m dying. I want to move on already,” I answered. She suddenly hit me lightly on the head.“Move on? Move on from what? How can you move forward when there was never an us?” I chuckled a little at what she said. She had a point. That’s the painful part—because there never was an “us.” I leaned back against the headboard.“Nica, I don’t want to feel like this anymore,” I said.“You know what, N

Chapter 18Marinel's POV NICA and I laughed over our old memories. Andy joined in with our silliness too. But no matter how much I laughed and smiled, the pain was still there. I almost hugged Enzo earlier when I found out something bad happened to him. I’m such an idiot!"Nel, we need to talk," Enzo suddenly appeared in front of us."Uh-oh, Nel, Doc Arellano gave us another task!" Veronica suddenly said, dragging Andy with her."Hey! Why me too?" Andy protested.Nica just smacked him on the head, and they both walked away. Enzo quickly pulled me toward his car. His grip on my arm hurt, but I didn't say anything. We drove in silence. I was nervous around him."Nel, what did you do? Why did you do that?" he asked, clearly trying to keep his voice down."What are you talking about?" I asked, confused. He suddenly slammed the steering wheel, startling me even more."Will you please tell me! What's your problem?!" he yelled. That was it. My blood boiled."Is this about Moana again?!" I y

Chapter 19Marinel's POV I WAS AWAKENED by the loud knocking on the door of the room I was occupying."Nel! Come out!" I frowned at the voice I heard.What could my wonderful cousin be angry about now?! I walked quickly to the door to open it."What—"I immediately held my cheek after she slapped me."You're such a flirt!" she accused."I'm not a flirt!" I answered back boldly."Yeah, right!? You ruined my chance to be with him again! What kind of cousin are you?" I felt like I was about to explode from all her accusations."Now I'm the one at fault? Who lied between us? Who always pushed him away? Who made him look like a fool and gave him false hope? Wasn’t it you who did all of that? So don’t put the blame on me like you’re always the one on the right. The world doesn’t revolve around you!" I shot back.She was about to slap me again, but I blocked it."Don’t push me to fight you because I might stop seeing you as my cousin," I warned. She pulled her hand back."We’re not done yet

Chapter 20Calvin Enzo POVI’VE BEEN watching her every move for a while now. I’m so mesmerized by the way she moves. The way her cheeks turn red when she’s shy. Even if I stare at her all day, I’ll never get tired of it. I was so wrong to suppress what I felt for her. Instead of avoiding hurting her, I only made it worse. But now, I want to make myself happy. I want to see her happy. I want to spend time with her. I don’t want to waste any more precious time—we should be making memories together.“Enzo, what if someone has cancer? Do they need to undergo chemo right away?” she asked out of nowhere.That question caught me off guard.“Just read the following statements, Nel. It still depends on the doctor,” I replied and looked back at the book I was holding.That hit me right in the chest. I glanced at Nel again. She was still busy reviewing.“Nel, do you want some snacks?” I offered.“Up to you,” she replied. I snuck a kiss on her cheek before quickly standing up.She looked shocked

Chapter 21Calvin Enzo POVGOD! I almost slipped earlier. I’m glad I managed to hide it. I was so nervous that Nel might notice. Thankfully, she didn’t press me further. My conscience can’t take it if she finds out the truth. I’d only end up hurting the woman I love the most—and I don’t want that to happen. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this secret from her.“Enzo…” Nel called as we drove. I glanced at her and looked back at the road.“Hmm?” She intertwined her left hand with my right hand.“I love you so much.” My heart melted at her words.“I do love you very much, Nel,” I replied.“Enzo, I want to ask you something.”“Name it, Nel,” I said.“No more lying and keeping secrets. I know I don’t really have the right to ask this but…”“I’m cool with it,” I said confidently.Even if, deep inside, I was falling apart. How could I make that promise, sweetheart? How?“Really? You’re okay with it?” I nodded.She gave me the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen. And my conscience hit me right in

Chapter 22Calvin Enzo POVHERE we are at the park where Nel and I played with the skateboard last time, when we tried to... You know, when I acted like an idiot. Nah! Let’s forget about that. Moana and I are definitely over, even though she always tries to bug me.“Enzo!” Nel called me while riding the skateboard.I just waved at her. I’m not allowed to overexert myself anymore, but I show her that I’m doing fine. I was really nervous yesterday because it just so happened that I was with her. I’m scared she’ll find out the truth. The guilt is killing me. Making her believe I’m completely fine is like a dagger buried in my chest. My illness is killing me slowly. Sometimes, I blame God for why this happened to me—why it had to be me, why I have to leave someone behind, why it still hurts so much even though I’ve accepted it for a long time. Maybe it’s time for me to settle things now.“You don’t want to?” Nel said as she stopped in front of me.“I enjoyed just watching you,” I answered

Chapter 44Marinel's POV I KNOCKED, but there was no answer. Hesitantly, I opened the door, the darkness inside a stark contrast to the soft light of the hallway. I almost stumbled in the gloom, catching myself on a small table just in time to prevent the tray from crashing to the floor. Fumbling for my phone, I used its light to navigate the room, finally locating the lampshade.The light revealed Caldwill, lying in bed, shirtless, his face pale and drawn. I reached for the blanket, intending to cover him, but he grasped my hand, his touch surprisingly feverish. Instinctively, I placed my hand on his forehead. He was burning up. "You have a fever," I murmured, attempting to withdraw my hand, but he held on tight, his grip surprisingly strong."Caldwill," I protested, but he only tightened his grip."I hate you," he rasped, the words a low, guttural growl.My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You're just sick," I replied, trying to gently disengage my hand. "Do you have selective

Chapter 43Marinel's POV I WAS startled by Caldwill’s sudden outburst. My heart pounded, and my hands trembled uncontrollably as I saw the blood staining Candice’s lips and chin.“Andy, help Doctor Ynes prepare the operating room,” he ordered firmly. Andy didn’t even nod—he just ran.Everyone was panicking—everyone but Caldwill. He was calm, sharp, terrifyingly focused.“Focus, Marinel! Replace the dextrose and give me her vital signs!” he commanded. I quickly set aside the bloodied blanket and fumbled with the IV stand, biting down on my lip to keep from crying harder. My fingers shook as I checked her pulse—weak and thready—and her blood pressure was dangerously low.“She’s hypotensive! 70 over 40!” I shouted.“Push normal saline—fast drip. We need to raise her BP before she goes into hypovolemic shock,” Caldwill said without looking up. He was already removing her blood-soaked clothes and checking for any external bleeding.“Move faster, Marinel!” he snapped, making me jump. I dro

Chapter 42Marinel's POV AFTER GETTING OFF THE AIRPORT...A red van greeted us right outside. When it stopped in front of us and Caldwill opened the door, Andy appeared.“How was the flight?” Andy asked.“It was fine,” I replied and climbed inside the van. Caldwill followed, still silent, and sat next to me.“Floyd, let’s use the other exit. We need to pick someone else up,” Andy instructed the driver and moved to the back seat. I honestly wished Andy sat next to me instead, so I wouldn’t feel like drying up from being ignored. I had no choice but to stay silent.When we reached the other exit, the van stopped again. Andy opened the door, and I was truly surprised. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones going there—others were coming too.“They're volunteers from Dr. Ynes. Bro, can Nel sit on your lap so we can all fit?” Andy said.I was stunned by what he said. Even Caldwill looked uncertain as he glanced at me.“Come on,” he said, then wrapped his arms around my waist. I felt like I’

Chapter 41Caldwill Enzo POV "THAT'S fucking insane—disgusting, horrible, and fucking ridiculous! Why the hell did I do that!?"I’d been banging my head on the steering wheel for a while now.“Damn!” I muttered in frustration.“Sir, maybe you want to break a bottle?” Ivan said.I didn’t even notice him.“Shut up,” I replied and got out of the car. I grabbed the Shakey’s pizza from the passenger seat and handed it to him. Right after that scene, I left and wandered around.“Sir, ma’am Marinel hasn’t come out of your room since earlier,” he informed me.I just nodded and headed inside the house. I went straight to my room, took a deep breath, and knocked. Why am I even knocking? This is my room.I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.I saw Marinel, still asleep.I quietly walked to the foot of the bed to check her feet. Thank God! They’re no longer swollen, and she’s okay now.I moved to her left side and just stared at her.Pain twisted in my chest. Why did destiny make thing

Chapter 40 Caldwill Enzo POV"WHY didn’t Calvin go through surgery? Why didn’t he get chemotherapy?" I was surprised by her question and frowned, but I quickly recovered and let out a heavy sigh."Because he didn’t want to. Aside from that, his condition was already too severe at that time. His liver and kidneys weren’t responding anymore. His lungs were infected too, that’s why he often had trouble breathing. But my brother was hardheaded and I couldn’t control that." I heard her sniff."Marinel," I called. She shook her head."You know what? He even joked that methotrexate was his vitamins. He even told me he had two months left." I saw her shoulders tremble. I knew she was crying even if she tried to hide it. Even though her face was covered by a book, I could still hear her soft sobs. And it hurt me—seeing her like this, still unable to move on from the past. I’m still grieving too, but not the way she is. She’s still in so much pain, and that pains me too.I stood up straight an

Chapter 39Marinel’s POV I KEPT peeking outside my room while rubbing my stomach. I didn’t eat properly earlier at Veronica’s apartment. How could I when she irritated me to no end? I rolled my eyes and finally stepped out of my room. I glanced at the clock and, as if the universe hated me, it was already 1 a.m. sharp. I headed straight to the kitchen after going down the stairs. But I think I made the wrong move—Caldwill was in the kitchen. His back was to me, and he was only wearing pajama pants. I couldn’t help but gulp as my eyes traced his back. His strong and well-built frame was seriously heating up some unidentified hormones in me. What the hell! I slapped my own cheek and slowly turned to leave."Are you hungry?" he asked. I shut my eyes tightly and turned back to him."Huh? No! Just thirsty. That’s right!" I cringed at my own stupidity. You idiot, Nel!"Sit," he said curtly while pointing to the high chair. The kitchen was styled like a mini bar."Huh? No need!" I refused,

Chapter 38Marinel's POV EVENTUALLY, I finished getting ready. I wore a blue fitted dress with a slit on the thigh. I paired it with blue high heels and a set of white gold jewelry. I left my hair down and only applied a bit of lipstick. I’m not used to dressing up like this, but I had to in order to look presentable. Caldwill once bullied me because of how I dressed, so I don’t want to experience that kind of mockery from others again.When I saw myself in the mirror, I felt like I wanted to date the reflection I saw."Damn, I look good!" I said in amazement.I glanced at my watch and saw I was right on time. I stepped out of the guest room and headed to my room to grab my small purse.Once I was done, I left the house without saying a word. Just as I stepped outside, a taxi stopped in front of me. The driver rolled down the window and peeked out."Ma’am, are you Marinel Villaraza?" he asked, checking a paper in his hand.I was stunned. Nica really went all in! She actually pretende

Chapter 37Caldwill Enzo POV“WHAT did I do wrong?” I turned to Ivan with my hands on my hips.“I might say, sir, she’s not the type of woman who’s into these kinds of stuff,” he replied.I couldn’t help but get annoyed by her attitude earlier.“Just buy it all, Ivan, and put them somewhere safe,” I ordered, then headed up the stairs.I stopped in front of Marinel’s room.Should I knock?Damn! Why can’t I decide!I shook my head and knocked without thinking twice. The door opened, and I noticed she had been crying based on her red and puffy eyes. Guilt suddenly crept in. She was about to shut the door again, but I quickly pushed it open. She was surprised when I entered the room. She was about to say something, but I pulled her into my arms before she could. I let out a deep sigh.“I... I’m sorry,” I whispered.She slowly moved her arms and wrapped them around my waist. She started crying again. I could feel her sobs and her heavy breathing against my chest.Damn! It felt like my hear

Chapter 36Marinel's POV THE TRIP didn’t take long, and we soon arrived at SM Laguna. After he parked the car, he was the first to get out. I followed shortly after. I stood with my hands on my hips, staring at the mall entrance. What exactly are we doing here?Suddenly, Caldwill walked up to me and wrapped an arm around my waist. I gulped at his sudden closeness."Staring at it won’t make it melt," Caldwill said.I flinched as if I had been burned and immediately pushed his hand away from my waist. Come on, Nel! Your heart’s acting up again! I looked down, feeling like I’d just been slapped because my cheeks were burning hot."Let’s go..." he said as he guided and pulled me along.As we walked up to the second floor, I couldn’t help but glance at his hand holding mine. I probably looked weird, but every time he’s nice to me, it somehow makes me feel happy."Watch your step!" I heard Caldwill say.Before I could reply, he quickly grabbed me by the waist and lifted me slightly. That s
