JAYSONI watched as Mara ran out of the door crying. For the first time in my life, I lay a hand on a woman, and it didn't settle inside me, especially since it was Mara, the girl who I felt familiar with the first time I laid my eyes on her when she was still working at the diner near my office back then.She looked familiar, but I couldn't recall where I met her before. It seemed like I knew her way back, but no matter how I tried to recall in my memories who she was, I really couldn't remember.Since I laid eyes on her, she never left my mind. I always see her smile and the face I always saw in my dream. She always smiles and is very gentle and kind, especially to Grandpa. She takes care of Grandpa like her own grandfather.She got Grandpa's affection quickly, which didn't happen with his previous caregivers. Grandpa always distanced himself from his caregiver, but with Mara, it looks like he is with his granddaughter. He treated Mara how he treated me. He's so caring and protectiv
MARAI run out of Loren's room crying. No one laid a hand on me before. It was the first time, and it hurt so much because the person who did it was the person I never expected could hurt me. I always saw him as a gentle, kind, and caring person who would never hurt someone else—a person who I started to admire or maybe more. I was thrown on the ground when I bumped into someone snapping me out of my thoughts. I cried more, and I stayed on the floor sobbing."Are you alright, miss?" A male voice asked. I looked up, and a man was crouching, looking at me worriedly."I'm so sorry, sir. I'm not looking where I am going. I whispered, wiping my tears. "It's okay, come on, stand up." He said and held my arm, and pulled me up."Thank you, sir. And I'm sorry again." I bowed my head at him and resumed walking. I went to the ICU where Grandpa was. I want to see him for the last time before I leave, and I'm hoping the doctor will let me see him.When I arrived at the ICU, I asked a nurse where
JAYSONI'm sure she left the mansion already because that's why Grandpa fell off the stairs," I said fist balled beside me."What? Why? Sir Phil adored her so much that during my visit, there she was the only person he kept talking about. Jane asked, surprised. I am surprised, too, because I saw how close she is to Grandpa. "Maybe she just wants Grandpa to trust her so that she can do whatever reason why she took Grandpa to her home when Grandpa was lost. Maybe she has a hidden reason why she did it from the very beginning. Maybe she lied about not knowing Grandpa the first time she met him." Loren said, who just woke up? I ponder her words, and she has a point. I quickly fist my phone from my pocket to cheek Grandpa's money in the bank. I check his bank statement, and my eyes widen to see a series of withdrawals he made. "Look at this." I showed my phone to Jane, and she was surprised as well."Why does he have a lot of withdrawals? Where did he use all the money?" She asked."I do
JaysonMy smile never left my lips. I left the room because a doctor came to check on Loren and took a specimen from her for a DNA test. Uncle already gives him, and he visits Grandpa and goes home to rest. He said he would come back when the DNA result came. I can't blame him if he was cold to Loren. He doesn't even hug her or talk to her except for one time when he warns her and tells her that he wants a DNA test. He was right when he said that Loren doesn't have any similarities to Aunt Aria, maybe because she already grows up. I'm sure once the DNA test result comes positive, his treatment of her will change. I went to the ICU to visit Grandpa. I'm so excited to tell him that I found Ara. Grandpa adores Ara so much back then. He always buys books for her and reads them to her, and Ara will look at the picture in the book with wide eyes despite her still not knowing how to read.She is so sweet, always gives Grandpa a hug and a kiss, and always said I love you, Grandpa." She is v
MARAThe following morning, I received a text message from Cassy telling me that there was no necklace in my previous room as well as grandpa, so here I am now in front of the hospital.I went inside with my eyes, looking around, making sure that Sir Jayson was not around as well as Nana and Dean. I went to the information desk first and asked where their lost and found bulletin board. Someone might have seen my necklace and surrendered it to the hospital staff. I'm hoping so because that necklace is very important to me.I quickly went to the lost and found bulletin board when the hospital staff told me where it was. I was disappointed to see my necklace was not written there. "Where did I lose it? Maybe I dropped it somewhere when I was heading to Rina's 0lace." I sighed sadly, knowing that the hope of founding my necklace would be zero.I sighed and made my way to the ICU, hoping that the nurse there would let me in, and Sir Jayson was not present. I gasped when I was near the ICU
JAYSON"How's Grandpa?" Loren asked, worried. The doctor said she could return home today, but I don't want her to leave the hospital too soon. I want her to stay here for at least a week. I'm worried some complications will occur if she goes home more quickly. "Still the same. Nothing changes. " I replied sadly. "It's all that woman's fault. If she doesn't push me, this thing won't happen to Grandpa. She's a devil. She said, eyes now brimmed with tears."Don't cry. It's bad for you," I whispered, embracing Loren. "Don't worry. It'll ensure she receives the proper punishment for what she did. "Do that, babe. That girl is a swindler. If you let her roam freely, she might do it to others.""Don't worry, Jane already filed a case against her, and the authorities will issue an arrest warrant for her tomorrow." She nodded, smiling, but her eyes were still misty with tears. "Let's get married on Thursday," I whispered. She looked at me and nodded, smiling. "Let's just do a civil wedding
MARACassy called earlier and informed me that Sir Jayson and Loren plan to have a civil wedding this Thursday. I felt sad when I heard it because I had a feeling for him, and despite what he did to me, that feeling was still inside my heart.I was inside the twin room reading the book from Grandpa even though l had already read this story a lot of times when I was younger. I still reread it, not because of the story, it was because of the rabbit that he drew. It makes me smile seeing the cute rabbit on top of the letters. I was on the last page when I saw him draw four rabbits on that page, and I frowned when it formed my name. My name, why... I gasped and quickly opened the book on the first page. I picked up my bag and took a pen and paper and wrote every letter that had a rabbit on top of it, and after a few minutes, I got all the later. At first, it was hard to read because there was no space in between, but a minute after, I finally got it, and I gasped. I quickly shove the
CARLOS (Tuesday afternoon)After the blood transfusion, a nurse wheeled Marato her room. I got her a private room and a private nurse to watch her condition every second. I rested in her room for a while to gain my strength and then went home to change, leaving her to the care of the private nurse, telling her to call me if anything happened.I went home and took a bath, and lay on my bed to rest for a few hours, but when I opened my eyes, the sun was already shining brightly. I check the time, and it's already two in the afternoon. I quickly take a bath and change my clothes, and run to my car."Sir, you haven't eaten yet," Helena called out. She's my help, and she has worked with me since the day I married my wife."I just buy food on the way," I replied and went inside my car and drove off. I stopped at the drive-thru and bought my food, and drove straight to the hospital.I went straight to Mara's room, and her nurse greeted me at the door."Good afternoon, sir.""How is she? An
