"That's not how you pronounce it, Eve," Willow sighed as she rubbed her temples. "It's not my fault," Evelyn whined and sighed before closing the dictionary. She didn't even know why she decided to read the dictionary.

They were at the cafeteria eating and also working on their assignments. "Why did you even decide to open a book you can't even comprehend?" Willow raised a brow at her, which earned her a glare.

"Don't you dare try to insult my intelligence. I can understand the dictionary," Eve pointed a finger at her and Willow chuckled. "Just give me your chicken already," she said.

Eve rolled her eyes and pushed her plate of half-eaten chicken towards her. "I'm convinced that you love chicken more than you love me," she mumbled with distaste. Willow waved her off as she bit into the seasoned meal. "I spend more time with you, my love," she said with a chuckle and Eve rolled her eyes again.

"That your laughter will soon be your last."

    Everything began to go smoothly for the remaining few months. It was now December and everyone was now Christmas shopping. Thanksgiving was spent in the Reyes mansion. Grandma Marie came over with Willow's father and sister. The whole extended family was present and it was warm and homey."Mommy," Willow turned her attention to her daughter. They were on holiday but she still needed work. "Yes, sweetie?" she replied as she went to her daughter and handed her breakfast. "Why aren't you staying home with us?" Wave asked as she took a sip of her hot coco. Willow gave her daughter a smile, "Mommy doesn't get holidays, that's why she can't stay home."Wave pouted and Willow giggled before ruffling her hair. "Nate! Daniel! Get down here now!" Willow yelled with an eye roll. "Is Aunt Nadia still coming over?" Wave asked her mother. Willow nodded and patted her head before going back into the kitchen to get food for the others."Did you really have to interrupt our game?" Nathan grumbled as he

    People's joy knew no bounds when the news of Nathan's recovery spread everywhere. The doctor, which was Jayden, advised that he'd be on bed rest for minimum of a week so he can regain his full strength. Nathan was not at all happy with this and he used every means to show it. The only thing that eased his unhappiness was that the kids were staying home with him because they were on mid-term break.Daniel wouldn't stop apologizing over and over again for causing his father to go through pain. "Daniel, it's alright. Things happen, stop apologizing," Nathan said to his son as he stroked his hair. Daniel snuggled closer to his father with tears falling down his cheeks. "I don't want you to die, daddy. Mommy used to cry everyday but she didn't want us to know," he said and wiped his cheeks. Nathan looked at his son's teary face and sighed before wiping his face with his hands. "Everything will be okay from now on," he said and Daniel nodded before hugging him. Then his mother walked into t

    It's been three months since Nathan's accident. It spread through the news and even got to newspapers and magazines. There was even a part that stated him having kids in secret because there was a picture of Wave and Daniel calling him daddy while trying to wake him up. All these things didn't bother Willow at all.She'd spend every single day taking care of him. Whenever she was done with other patients, she'd go back to attending to him. Every day, she'd bring the kids over to talk to him about their day. According to research, the voices and touch of one's loved one can bring he or she out of coma. It has been three months but Willow didn't plan on giving up."Hey," she turned to see Jayden walk in holding a starbucks drink in his hand. "I'm not sure if you'd want to eat anything, so I got this instead," he said as he handed her the drink. She thanked him and turned her attention back to Nathan. She just wanted him to open his eyes."His vitals are now stable, it's left to him to d

    Willow was busy giving her patient treatment when there was a knock on the door. With a frown Willow asked the person to come in. She turned around to see her kids walk in with their class teacher. On instinct, she stopped what she was doing and quickly went to meet them."Mommy!" they were both crying and Willow noticed that their uniforms were stained with blood. She looked up at the teacher, "What happened?" she turned her attention back to her children and began to search for cuts or bruises. "There was an accident," the teacher said."Daddy," Wave hiccupped on her tears and Willow's eyes widened. "W-what happened to him?" she could barely contain herself. "I rushed to the scene a little late. He was hit by a car I think, but he's not in a good state," the teacher said with a sad tone and Willow knew it was bad. "Where is he?" she asked her. "He's in the emergency ward at the moment," the teacher replied. "I did not know, mommy," Daniel's face was puffy and red, stained with tear

    The next morning, Willow didn't say a word to Nathan. She decided that she wasn't going to meddle in his business anymore. Yesterday night, she didn't cry just because of what Kiara had told her. She cried she realized how much she loved Nathan. Ignoring his existence would be the best option.Nathan was fed up with her silence and stood up from the dining table to meet her in the kitchen. "Willow"Her shoulders tensed at his voice but she refused to look at him as she continued to do the dishes. "Willow, lease talk to me," he pleaded. She turned to him with a very fake smile. "Good morning, please take the kids to school or they'll be late," she said and walked out of the kitchen.Nathan exhaled in frustration and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Oh God, please help me."∞"Did you ask him to confirm if it's true or not?" Eve asked her. "I didn't want to walk to him at all," Willow mumbled as she looked through her patients' files. "But you don't know if it's true or not? You can't j

    It was a Sunday evening. Willow was seated on the floor in the living room, typing her report in her laptop while her kids played with Star. "Be careful, kids," she said, not looking up from her work as she heard them scream excitedly. Willow rolled her eyes at their enjoyment. Then, she heard the front door slam shut loudly, causing her to frown. She didn't expect Nathan to come home early. She looked up and frowned deeper when she saw a slim but familiar woman storm in. her eyes widened, "she was the woman she met at Nathan's office." But she couldn't remember her name."So it's actually you!" Kiara snared at Willow, seeing her comfortable on the floor in Nathan's house. Nathan rarely let people at his home, except they were family or very close to him. Why would he allow someone like her here?"Huh?" Willow frowned in confusion. Kiara's eyes fell on the two kids that were playing with the dog. So he has kids with this woman? Was she his wife?"No, it couldn't be possible," she th
