Nathalie PoV

My hands were clammy. I felt so nervous right now, that I had to wipe my hands with tissues several times. On the dining table there were already lots of wads of tissue that I had used.

Nicholas saw my nervousness and he took my hand, rubbing my palm gently.

"It's okay," he said. "I'm by your side. I won't let anyone bother you."

Technically, I had already met grandfather Jerome Grand, and the couple Andy and Lilian Grand, before NSync's opening a few days ago.

When I was having dinner with Nicholas in the restaurant, after we met with Charles and Gina in the Shark Fin restaurant, the three of them also came to the same restaurant as us and Nicholas introduced me as his girlfriend.

Grandfather Jerome was friendly to me, while Andy Grand, Nicholas' father, gave me a questioning look, and his wife didn't say anything, just stared at me coldly.

Still, I could read their confusion and surprise. They definitely wouldn't have thought that Nicholas already had a girlfriend and

    The afternoon sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the window blinds, casting a soft golden glow over Jason’s desk.Behind a neatly arranged stack of documents, the man sat quietly, his fingers busy flipping through the pages of the latest project contract he was reviewing.The room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock and the soft rustle of paper.Jason liked this kind of atmosphere when he was working. That was why he made his room soundproof, so that the hustle and bustle from outside would not penetrate him and make him lose focus.However, the tranquility was immediately shattered when the sound of the door opening loudly echoed, followed by fast and heavy footsteps.Someone entered and without further ado plopped down on one of the leather sofas in the middle of the room, letting out a long breath.Jason glanced over his glasses, sighed, and said flatly, “You always forget to knock,” he quipped. “And you’re always so noisy too. What’s up now, Jord?”Jordan, his twin

    I stared at the five-year-old boy who was running around the park happily.His chubby legs stepped quickly between the flower clusters, without fear of falling or tripping.After a while, the boy stopped in front of a maroon rose bush and studied something seriously on the flowers."Mike," I called softly.He turned and his cute smile widened when he saw me. He turned and his feet stepped towards me.I opened my arms and let his little figure into my arms. It felt warm and fragrant, the soft scent of baby powder."Hey, champion, what are you doing?" I asked, kissing his cheek.He laughed because he was tickled by my kiss. "I was watching the bee on the rose. I think it's grandma. The bee saw me and wasn't afraid of me."My heart sank.My mother died two years ago, after battling brain cancer that she had without me knowing.I missed her more than I should have, because Michael was with me.My mother was haunted by guilt because she had been so supportive of me being with Gina and afte

    "Gina, can't you stop peeing every ten minutes? I'm so tired," I said, half shouting.Gina didn't answer, just stared at me with watery eyes. "I'm sorry, Mom."I couldn't stand it. Guilt overwhelmed me. I hugged her gently and tidied up her remaining hair."No, I'm sorry, honey. You shouldn't be like this. I made you like this. I should be the one who's sick, not you."Finally we cried together.I felt so tired. I hadn't slept since yesterday, because Gina kept feeling in pain and couldn't stop peeing, so I had to change her diapers every half hour and the sheets smelled of urine had piled up in the bathroom, so in the end I only had a mattress with plastic because I ran out of sheets.Gina's condition was getting worse, even after she underwent treatment and therapy.Doctor Nelson said that it was because Gina didn't have the will to get better at all. She didn't fight and seemed to hope that her illness would get worse until she wanted to die soon.My heart ached so much.People say

    I miss my son. The fat, healthy baby I left before he was even three months old.Charles really gave me no tolerance at all. He kicked me out of his life, out of our son's life. He even made an agreement in front of stern-faced lawyers, stating that I had to stay as far away from their lives as possible or there would be legal sanctions if I broke the agreement."Come on, don't be a crybaby, Gina," my mother said curtly. "This is better for you. You don't have to bother taking care of a baby who wants to suckle and cries all the time, a demanding husband, and a fussy, controlling mother-in-law."I felt suffocated. My breasts hurt so much, because my milk was full, but there was no baby to suckle on them. I had to pump and throw away this precious milk, making my heart bleed.I thought after all the trouble that made Charles kick me out, I would feel nothing, like when I was having an affair with Bryan and Larry.However, I was very wrong. It was after I got my full freedom, even with

    I feel short of breath.Lately I have been experiencing more frequent excruciating headaches, to the point where I often almost fall or want to vomit, because of the extreme pain.I think it's time for me to get myself checked again. The last check-up I had was when Charles and Gina met, then because Gina was pregnant, Charles planned to divorce Nathalie."Mrs. Frederick, I suggest you immediately undergo intensive therapy and treatment starting now," said Dr. James Pathiwat at that time. "Don't wait until the cancer cells spread further."Yes. Dr. James Pathiwat said that there was cancer in the back of my right brain. I forgot the term, but he insisted that I immediately undergo intensive therapy and treatment, while it was still in stage one.However, I was too worried about my son and decided not to tell him anything about the cancer. I took the medicine given by Dr. James secretly and focused more on Charles and his efforts to have children.My late husband's family, Charles' fat

    Seven years laterNicholas put his bag on the side of the sofa and untied his tie, walking slowly so as not to make a sound.Nathalie did not move, lying sideways on the sofa, looking very soundly. She did not even wake up when Nicholas kissed her forehead.Nicholas walked into the kitchen and saw Madam Olla boiling something in a pan. The aroma of spices that should have filled the air in the kitchen."Madam, what is that you are boiling?" Nicholas asked while pulling out the dining chair.Madam Olla turned her head. "Oh, you're home, sir? Why didn't you make a sound, it just surprised me."Nicholas smiled. "Nathalie is sleeping on the sofa. I didn't want to disturb her."Madam Olla turned off the stove and quickly made coffee for Nicholas."She must be tired," said Madam Olla. "Since the morning after you left for the office and the children went to school, she vomited several times and said her head hurt. I made her ginger and turmeric to help relieve her symptoms because she shoul
