Adira's pov, I finished preparing breakfast (custard and some homemade bread), before I left the kitchen, because I was unsettled that Joseph had not yet woken up from sleep. I know. With what happened to his mother yesterday, he would not care to report to school for the day. But, he might have woken up from sleep, though I am not certain about that. That was why I was unsettled, mostly because he hadn't come downstairs yet. I arrived upstairs and went ahead to open the door to my room (Joseph's room). Last night, I made sure that he slept next to me, because I was afraid that he might wake up in the middle of the night, and after he could not find his mother anywhere, he might become scared and something bad might end up happening to him.I couldn't risk that, that was why I made him sleep in the same room as me. I entered the room and walked over to the bed upon seeing that Joseph remained on the bed and was asleep. He was lying back flat on the bed and had not woken up fr
Nathan and I arrived outside the building. I was glad that I didn't meet Cassandra on the way. I hated the thought of meeting her, especially at a moment like now when I was in a hurry. If I had met her, she would have delayed and wasted my precious time talking non stop, and nagging me to take care of her unborn grandson.What a headache she was. Between my mother and her, I don't think I can tell which one of them is worse. Nathan led me to one of the cars, where the driver was already standing by. He was the same driver who drove me to my apartment that day when I woke up next to my beloved. “Greetings, young master and young Miss”. He greeted us and I felt delighted and proud. If he could greet me with so much respect now, then what was going to happen after I got married to Nathan? I bet he was going to worship the ground I walked on. “Take my woman to her apartment and make sure that nothing wrong happens to her. If anything happens to her under your watch, you would wish
The next day, Valentina's pov, I woke up from sleep as early as possible. The thing was that I was not able to sleep well last night. After Stefan and Philip arrived in Blenka city last night, Stefan called me to inform me about their arrival, and before the end of our phone call, I sent him and Philip some money for a hotel room. “Babe, is there any problem?”. Nathan asked me because after I came out of the bathroom fully dressed like a few minutes ago, I began to wear makeup. “Oh. It's nothing, Natty. My mother will be coming over today, so I want to return to my apartment and tidy the whole place. I want my mom to be comfortable when she comes to Blenka city”. I explained this to him, knowing fully well that it was a big fat lie. Nathan lazily got out of bed, and as he approached me, he yawned. When he stood a foot or two apart from me, I could not help but admire his body structure that reflected in the mirror. I stopped looking at Nathan through the mirror and stood up fr
The door to the private ward opened, and as I stared in the direction of the door, I saw that it was Kai who had entered the ward. Joseph didn't stop hugging me as I tried to make him stop hugging me. I wasn't trying to get him off me because I wanted to go and talk to Kai. But because I wanted him to eat something. At this rate, if I didn't do anything, he might really faint under my watch. And that was what I didn't want to happen. “Hey, Joseph, wait. Stop hugging me. You have to stop hugging me and eat something first”. I said to him as I gently continued to try to get him off my body. But he did not budge and continued to hug me. When I struggled a little bit and looked at his face, I discovered that he was asleep, with his chin resting on my shoulder, and his body completely pressed against mine. So, all this while I had been trying to make him stop hugging me, it turned out that he was asleep?I should have guessed that after he did not budge nor respond to me. “Sister”
“Cousin Adira, is my mother ever going to be okay? Is she ever going to wake up?”. Joseph asked me, and I felt something cold drenching my clothes. They were Joseph's tears. Patting his head, I replied to him confidently, “Of course, Joseph. Your mother is going to be alright. She is going to wake up soon. Don't be scared”. But I thought to myself, ‘I hope so'. “Don't worry, Adira. I'm in charge of your aunt's treatment. I will try the best I can to make her wake up again. I promise”. Franklin assured me, and I nodded at him. Seriously, what else could I have done if not nodding at him? I really do hope that he can make Aunt Becky wake up as soon as possible. I can't imagine how sorrowful Joseph would feel if his mother did not wake up soon. Growl. Joseph's stomach growled in hunger, before mine did the same thing, making me remember that we didn't get the chance to eat our food, because of what had happened to Aunt Becky. But I didn't have the appetite to eat. I fear that I
Adira's pov,We had arrived at the hospital and were inside the hospital. But we remained outside a particular ward where Aunt Becky was receiving treatment.Joseph and Kai were sitting in the same seat, while I was pacing back and forth in the corridor, as I couldn't relax. During the traffic, when I thought that all hope was lost, he showed up. Franklin. He was my senior when I was in college. Though we were from different departments. He studied medicine, while I studied jewelry design. I studied jewelry design, not because I was a novice, but because I wanted to gain a certificate and become a legit jeweler in the future. Back to where it started. Franklin. Earlier, when we were stuck with Aunt Becky in the traffic, Franklin came to our refuge and intervened. I was stunned when I saw him, but I didn't think about why he was there. All I said to him was to help my Aunt Becky, since I knew that he was a doctor. At that moment, I hurried to Kai's car and opened the back seat
