I CAN'T SAY I DO WITHOUT YOU Part 49
Lincoln had to go to Borstal, leaving me alone to keep an eye on the prince. The silence was deafening, with just the noise of the heart monitor to be heard. I didn’t move my gaze away from the prince, and I didn’t do anything else that eventually caused me to feel drowsy.I was able to keep my eyes open at first but eventually fell asleep. A loud boom of something jolted me awake. My eyes almost widened as I realized the prince was no longer in the room. I instantly rose, and when I exited the room, I noticed Prince Augustus coming down the stairs. I called out his name before he took his first step down the stairs. He was knocked off balance because it surprised him when I emerged out of nowhere. I walked rapidly with my foot to keep him from going down the stairs, but even if I caught him, he would still fall, so I had no choice but to drag him away from the stairs and yank him along with my body. Both of us landed with a loud bang, and as Prince Augustus fell on my body, the wound

As soon as I got out of the taxi, I sought out Allerixk and Blythe. As I was searching for them, I thought about calling Mama and Kuya Samuel, but their phones were out of service. A familiar voice from the backyard cried out the name of Allerick. I knew it was Blythe. There I saw Allerick laying down with Blythe standing in front of him, her clothing stained with blood and sobbing.I drew nearer to them. When I saw the blood on the road, a deep sensation of terror washed over them, a short paralysis. "Allerick!" I yelled."Ate, ate!" Blythe cried out in distress.I grabbed Allerick’s backpack as he was lying on the ground, looking for something I could wrap around his head before picking him up. "Get a cab!""Ate...""Blythe, take a cab!" I said as I shoved Blythe away.Blythe wept with a loud voice as she rushed away from us, and when she returned, she was already in the cab. Allerick was carried by the driver. Blythe couldn’t stop weeping and refused to let go of Allerick’s hand unt

"You must make a decision; if he is not operated on soon, he may die," the doctor said."However, you mentioned there was a possibility he would not be able to cope just after the procedure.""We still have to try; we will do everything we can to make the procedure successful; all you have to do is believe that he will survive.""Doctor, how much does the procedure cost?" I asked."The craniotomy operation costs $20,703, or a million.""Million?" I murmured. That’s how huge Allerick’s surgery will be. Where do we get that much money? We couldn’t even afford Allerick and Blythe’s school fees."H-how are we going to pay for such a costly surgery of Allerick?" Mama grasped her head. I couldn’t bear the thought of seeing Mama sobbing and struggling again, so I walked out of the hospital.I kept walking fast as if I couldn’t stop myself. Even if I attempt to keep back the flood of tears that have been building up since then. I can’t; it’s flowing into my eyes on purpose. And while I ran, my

I waited outside the door for the prince to signal that it was safe for me to enter King Lucien’s office. It is impossible to hear a single thing they say since the room is soundproof. Until Mr. Osiris opened the door, which have served as a cue for me to go inside. As I moved near King Lucien’s desk, my hand became restless. I stopped walking and lowered my head in respect."Your Majesty," "Gemma, I wasn’t expecting to see you so early." As he reclined in his chair, King Lucien began to speak. "You don’t seem to be in good shape."Y-your majesty, please forgive me for breaking our agreement and for coming back to beg for your help once again. It’s just that I don’t know of anybody else who may be able to help." I took a deep breath and continued. "My younger brother, Allerick, had an accident, and the doctor determined that he needed surgery, which would cost almost a million pesos. I’m well aware that I don’t have the right to do so, but we cannot afford my younger brother’s surgery

Borstal’s elite students are among those who belong to this group. Prince Augustus couldn’t keep his anxiousness from what he had heard. Tomorrow, everyone will get the privilege of meeting the long-hidden prince, who will also be the next monarch, to sit on the throne. In any case, despite Prince Augustus’s protestations, the reigning will take place since he was the second son of King Lucien.As a result, the whole Borstal campus is abuzz with rumors about the royal ball. It’s because, as I previously said, they were all invited by the King to take part.While I was in school, I saw Prince, who was now the whisper of the school. He was sitting quietly in his chair, but I could see he was weary of what he had been hearing. He sprang to his feet and walked out the door. After I caught up with him, he made his

From the viewing deck, I could see the visitors slowly making their way inside the palace. Today marks the end of his existence as a normal person."No one, not even the king, not even Raeanna, and certainly not me, has made your life unpleasant."As I was ready to leave, he grabbed my arm and pulled me back in. "Is there any reason for me to be happy if my own father takes everything away from me?" Then he added."Why don’t you go in search of it? The joy that has been stolen away from you, Prince Augustus, that may yet be reclaimed." I said."W- what is it supposed to mean?" He asked.I couldn’t tell him what I meant since the Prince’s bodyguards had arrived.I decided to clarify all I said to Prince. I went in front of his room, but I couldn’t say anything to him in person until I recalled the intercom in the room that the king had placed, which was linked to Prince Augustus’ room. I returned to the room and activated the intercom by pressing the talk button."You question whether y

I was so focused on the beautiful song that I completely forgot about my phone, which was in my room. I realized I didn’t have it with me when I thought of snapping a picture of the guy who was playing the piano. Afterward, I quickly go upstairs, but before I enter the room, I notice the prince has not yet left his room."There you are," I muttered to myself as I reached for my phone on the bedside table. The screen comes up. "50 missed calls?" After I entered my password, I was so dismayed that the smile that had arisen on my face vanished when I read the message from Mishelley. While I was on my knees, a loud groan could be heard coming from my lips. I didn’t say anything.Mishelley Alvez:You have to come here to the hospital, Gemma. Allerick is no longer with us, he's gone.No one could hear my sobs since I was weeping along with the noise of the music being played downstairs. My tears caused my makeup to smudge, creating a rust-like appearance on my skin. I don’t give a da** anymo

It was early morning when we arrived back at the palace; the royal ball had ended and everything was silent. We were instantly greeted by King Lucien and Queen Elbereth as soon as we walked through the gates of the palace.I sucked in a big swallow. I was scared about what would happen to me, but I was much more concerned about what would happen to Prince Augustus."You!" King Lucien made a gesture towards Prince Augustus. "Do you have any idea what you did? Everything I had planned was wrecked because of you. I expected you to behave, yet you're acting like a rebel once again. Augustus, this thing was intended for you.""The purpose of this is to help you, not me. Nobody asked you to hold a ball for me; I didn't even want you to do it." Prince Augustus expressed himself.I was dismayed when Queen Elbereth slapped him twice in the face. "We embrace you as a member of my family, ensure your prosperity, and prefer to have you next to the throne even though you are Lucien's bastard." Quee
