Sabrina's POV
My phone vibrates, and a message appears on the screen from Nicholas. The address of the restaurant. That's it, without any explanation.I stare at the screen in disbelief. After everything that happened last night, he only sent an address? No apology, no greeting, not even the slightest attempt to show his concern after seeing me like that. Even this morning, when I went down for breakfast, he wasn't home at all, as usual, busy with his own business. Maybe, he didn't even think it was necessary.Disappointment and frustration began to gnaw at my heart. I felt ignored and taken for granted by Nicholas. How could he be so indifferent after what happened last night? Did he really not care about me and my feelings? My mind was racing, looking for a solution to overcome the pain I felt.But then, I stopped myself. This wasn't what I needed right now. I had to stay calm and think clearly. Maybe Nicholas didn't understand how important itSabrina's POV As I gazed outside, my thoughts drifted to all the challenges that might come. However, I was confident that we could face them together. Nicholas was a strong person, and we would always support him, no matter how difficult the situation was.“Together, we can get through this,” I whispered to myself. With the love we had, I believed that everything would be alright.After a while, I felt tired but didn’t want to disturb Charlie’s sleep. He looked so peaceful, and I wanted to protect this moment for as long as possible. I started thinking about plans for tonight—a simple menu and maybe a family movie we could watch together after Nicholas came home.***The wall clock in the living room showed a little past ten when I glanced at it. It had only been two hours since Nicholas left for work, but it felt like Charlie and I had done so much. We played, read books, laughed together, and then watched cartoons while eating fruit. A mun
Sabrina's POV We finished the chores quickly, and each time Charlie did something right, I praised him. “You’re amazing, buddy! I’m proud of you!”After the kitchen was clean and all the little tasks were done, we moved to the living room. I spread out the play mat, and Charlie immediately grabbed the colorful blocks from their box. He started stacking them enthusiastically, creating a tall building that he called the “castle of Daddy, Mommy, and Charlie.”“We live here,” he said, pointing to the center of the structure.“Wow, that’s a big house. Is there a special room for dinosaurs too?” I teased.“Of course!” he said, then picked up a large green block. “This is the T-Rex’s cage!”I laughed at his incredible imagination. “Cool! So, we have to be careful so the T-Rex doesn’t get out and disturb us, right?”Charlie nodded seriously. “Yes, Mommy. We have to keep this castle safe!”He continued stacking blocks while
Sabrina's POV The air was still cool, the aroma of freshly toasted bread filled the kitchen, and Charlie sat in his chair, spooning cereal into his little mouth. His cheerful smile made the morning feel warm and full of energy.“Good morning, sweetheart!” I said, pouring myself a cup of coffee.“Morning, Mom!” he replied cheerfully, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I watched him enjoy his breakfast, my heart filled with gratitude. After everything we had been through, seeing him happy like this was a blessing. Each spoonful of cereal he took seemed to be a sign that he was getting better, and it brought a smile to my face.“The toast is ready!” I called out, pulling out the browned slices of bread.Charlie immediately turned his head, “Yay! My favorite toast!”I served it on a plate, adding a bit of strawberry jam on top. Watching him devour his breakfast heartily made me feel at peace. This was a small step toward t
Sabrina's POV Nicholas sat across from me after finishing his order. “I think… tonight we deserve to enjoy a little peace, don’t we?”I looked at him, my eyes softening. “Yes, I feel that way too.”Before long, the doorbell rang softly, almost unheard. I immediately stood up, knowing for sure that it was the food Nicholas had just ordered. He followed behind me, walking casually.“Don’t, let me get it,” he said, quickening his pace.I smiled slightly and returned to the living room, pulling a light blanket onto my lap. The atmosphere of the house felt different tonight. Calm, warm, and for once… not stressful. I could hear him chatting briefly with the delivery person at the door, then the delicious aroma of fried chicken began wafting in as he came back inside.“Fried chicken is here,” he exclaimed, lifting a clear bag with two large boxes and several packets of rice. “And don’t worry, no pizza.”“Good,” I teased. “You stil
Sabrina's POV Seeing him so happy like this, I felt like I was getting back the light that had been missing from my life. Charlie's cheerful smile was a reminder that even though we had gone through tough times, hope and love still existed between us.Every laugh and his enthusiasm gave me new energy, making me confident that we could face everything together. As we walked out of the hospital, the warm sunlight welcomed us, as if encouraging us to start a new chapter.I held his hand tighter, feeling our bond grow stronger. “We’re going to create many beautiful memories at home,” I said, trying to pass my enthusiasm onto him.Charlie nodded, his eyes sparkling with hope. “We can play in the park, right, Mom?”“Yes, of course! We’ll schedule playtime every day,” I replied, feeling happiness flow within me.I was helping Charlie put on his light jacket when hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway outside. The next second, the door to t
Sabrina’s POV This evening, I could breathe a little easier. After days filled with anxiety and long nights at the hospital, the doctor finally said that Charlie could go home. His body wasn’t fully healed yet, but his condition was stable enough to continue recovering at home. Upon hearing this, my heart raced with relief, emotion, and a bit of panic.I quickly gathered all of Charlie’s things. I opened the neatly folded clothes in the small suitcase I had brought since the beginning of his treatment and checked them again. I made sure his favorite blanket still smelled fresh and wasn’t dusty. I held his little robot tightly, then placed it on his hospital pillow.Charlie was taking a short nap while I moved quickly to prepare things. Seeing his peaceful face made me feel a little calmer, even though worries still haunted me. Would he be comfortable at home? Were we ready to face everything that might happen?A nurse came in and confirmed that everyt
