Love, Lies And Hidden Truths

A few minutes later, a doctor, who will deliver the infant, a labor nurse, who will coach the pushing while monitoring the baby's progress, and one more nurse entered the room. One of the nurses held a delivery tray containing gloves, scissors, artery forceps, cord clamp, sponge-holding forceps, a urinary catheter, a bowl for antiseptic lotion, a gauze piece, and some other surgical equipment. When they approached Jeri, who was lifeless on the bed, the doctor turned to Margaret and announced. “Sorry, madam. Please excuse us while we perform her operation, okay?" Dr. Eric spoke calmly but eagerly, hoping to save both Jeri and the baby. Margaret chuckled and said nothing, instead taking her daughter's hand and exiting the room, leaving the medical staff to their duties. As they walked away, their only wish was that Jeri and her innocent child would not survive the surgery. As soon as they found themselves in the hallway, they spotted an average height man who was coming their dir

At that moment, Jeri persuaded herself that everyone on Earth, including heaven and earth's inhabitants, detested her. Not even the rain shows her love or sympathy. Her only hope for survival was the streetlights that illuminated the deserted streets; everything else was dark. Pulling the blanket over her infant, she wondered where she would find safety. She was drenched to the bone and her infant was wailing in her arms in a matter of minutes. Although she was wet, her baby was not because she did everything she could to keep the rain from touching him. The cold weather was only the child's challenge. She surveyed her surroundings, but she could not find any cover. As fate has it, a stranger came into view just when she was about to lose hope. Jeri started to back away in terror, convincing herself that the man was not there to rescue her but rather to hurt her. Maybe her stepmother sent him to get rid of her. Who knows? The man had an umbrella slung over his head and was d

Jeri attempted to clean the blood stains on the floor before beginning the treatment, but Darien objected. “I will not sit here and watch you do that, Jeri. You have nothing to worry about. I will clean it myself. All you need to do now is go sit down and get your treatment, okay?” Darien informed her. “No, Darien. I'm the woman here. So it is my responsibility to clean. Besides, I was the one who stained the place, so…” “I am not sure who said cleaning is only for women,” Darien interrupted. “If I could clean the spot you stained before leaving to shower, why can't I do the same with this small drop on the floor? As I previously stated, you will not be responsible for cleaning or cooking as long as you live in this house. I am going to do it myself.” Jeri was unable to speak further; instead, she smiled as she stared at Darien. 'He is such a caring man,' she reflected internally. “I know, right?” Darien chuckled, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. “Huh?” her mouth wi

Darien became lost in thought as his expression changed gradually after hearing that.“What’s wrong?” When Jeri noticed how suddenly angry Darien became, she inquired. It was strange. “Umm… well…” Awkwardly scratching the back of his head, Darien attempted to maintain his composure despite appearing confused. “ Nothing… nothing.”“Huh? You have got to be kidding, Darien. Come on, talk to me,” Jeri insisted, looking worried. She knew something had gone wrong when he acted that way. Darien, on the other hand, did not want her to find out what was going on, so he faked a smile. “There is no need to be concerned, Jeri. I'm doing extremely fine. I think it's time to go to bed now. We will talk tomorrow, okay?” He pecked her cheeks and kissed her son's forehead before leaving the room without waiting for her to say anything.Jeri remained silent, perplexed as to why Darien's expression had changed so dramatically afte

As soon as she let out, the tears she had been holding back for so long flowed down her cheeks to the ground.On the other hand, Aysel was overjoyed because Jeri had given up on Darien so quickly. That was all she ever wanted. Jeri turned around and was about to leave the house as tears streamed down her cheeks. “What are you trying to do, huh?” Darien grabbed Jeri's arm, causing her to pause halfway to the door. “ I brought you here and…”“And your parents are against it.” She cut through his words and yanked her hand from his grasp." I do not belong here, Darien! Can't you see that?” Jeri looked into Darien's eyes, expressing her heartbreak, pain, and disappointment. Darien could see in her eyes that she adored him as much as he adored her, but the circumstances prevented her from expressing her love for him.Jeri clutched her child against her chest, allowing endless tears to flow down her cheeks, revealing to Dar
