**Fancy's POV**Just as I came out of the principal's office, the closing bell rang. While waiting for my boy, I couldn't help but worry about what the future would be. Was it wrong for me to want to give my boy the best education? My son has been a smart kid since he was a year old. He did things kids his age couldn't do. He began walking at seven months and pronounced words clearly in a year. Everything about Nathan was early, and I was called the mother of a genius. Nathan made me a proud mom even though we had nothing to our names. “Mom!” The sharp voice of my son immediately snapped me off my deep thoughts. I quickly raised my head up and saw him running towards me. Immediately, I crouched down to his level with my arms open wide. The moment he rushed into them, I whisked him up into my arms. “My love… I missed you!” I said, twirling him around. Nathan giggled in my arms as I placed soft kisses on his forehead. “I missed you, mom!” He said, holding me tight. I felt so ove
**Fancy's POV***“What? She's giving you two months upfront?”I nodded my head with a smile on my face. “My goodness, Fancy. Though this sounds nice, don't you think two months is far too long? I know you need the money, but I told you that you can always come to me. Did you forget?”Tina asked as she helped me put on the gas. We had both closed from work, and she's in my house specifically to ask me what the boss and I discussed. “I know you're only trying to help me, Tina, but I don't see that much difference, you know.”“What do you mean?”“I'll feel the same way, even if it's you who have me the money.”At this point, Tina walked over to where I stood and took both my hands in hers. “Look at me, Fancy?”I slowly raised my head up to meet her eyes. “I know what it means to have people by your side, and I'm telling you I'm with you every second, every day.”I looked Tina in the eye and smiled. “has there ever been a day when you weren't there for me? You're like the sister I never
***Fancy's POV***I froze the moment Nathan said the words. My goodness! At this rate, I'll not be able to keep any secrets from him. "That's not true, Nathan," I denied, tears gathering in my eyes. "You know it's true,mom. Your eyes are watery whenever you lie!"I let out a shocked gasp at the words of Nathan. Immediately, I walked over to him and placed both my hands on his cheeks. "Sweetheart, please don't say that about mummy. You have no idea what's going on?""Tell me," he said, looking sadly into my eyes. I shut my eyes, trying my best to hold back my tears. I opened them slowly and caressed his head. "Son, you know I want you to always be smart, watching TV all the time wouldn't make you focused on your academics.""But I'm smart," Nathan mumbled with pouty lips. "Come on, Cupcake, let me tuck you in for a good night's rest."He smiled and opened his arms wide. Without time wasting, I pulled him into a tight warm hug. "Mom?""Yes my love.""Can I ask you a question?""Of
**Kyle's POV**“Ouch!”I shouted and winced in pain. “Careful doc, that's quite painful,” I complained. “This is why I warned you last month to go easy on the games. At this point, you might have your shoulder damaged for good, and you know what that means?”I raised a brow at the doctor. “what does it mean?” I asked. “It means you'll have to kiss your hockey career goodbye. I guess that's not what you want.”“Wait, is it that serious?”“It's more than serious. If only you had listened to me not to go for the games, it wouldn't be this bad.”“Fuck! I can't afford this now. I have an important game next month.”“Well, I'm afraid, Mr. Kyle, you might have to let this one go.”What is the doctor saying? There's no way I'm letting go. It's more important than life itself. It's highly important that I win this game. “I'm sorry. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do what you're asking me to do.”The doctor stared at me confused. “Kyle, I've been the one taking care of your shoulders since
**Fancy's POV**The moment we landed in Mexico, Nathan couldn't help glancing around. “Mom, is this Mexico?”“Of course, darling. This is Mexico. You're finally home, my darling!"Nathan smiled while peering around. “Will I be meeting grandma and grandpa soon?”“But of course, I bet they can't wait to see you!”Nathan giggled. What he didn't know is the fact that we were going to the hospital to visit his grandpa. I couldn't tell him earlier because I know he would have plenty of questions to ask, and honestly, I do not know how I'm going to answer those questions.Just as I came out from the airport arena, someone waved at me, giggling, “Fancy!” I smiled so brightly and called out, “Nora!” She rushed towards me and dove me in a tight, warm hug. “Oh, my God! It's been so long since I saw you. I missed you so much!” Nora squirmed in my arms as she hugged me. “I missed you too, best friend! It's so good to see you again.”“Me too.” Just as we were done having our little emotional enc
***Fancy's POV***We arrived at the hospital with a sleeping Nathan, since we can't leave him in the car. I couldn't help but feel anxious at the moment. "Fancy, breath please." I spun around to Nora with a worried gaze. "I'm trying, it's not easy Nora, I feel like I'm going to pass out from anxiety.""Hell no, you won't! You're only going to meet your parents, it's not rocket science, Fancy. Please, just for this moment, free yourself from the shackles of the past."I shut my eyes, took a deep breath then exhaled. Nora was right, it wasn't as though I was being carried to the slaughter house to be killed. After preparing myself, we all headed to my dad's hospital room. Reaching there, I knocked on the door lightly and I heard a familiar voice say, " come in."I froze at the door at once. “Mom?” I called in my thoughts and slowly took my gaze to Nora, wide eyed. "I honestly have no idea she'll be coming today," Nora whispered, raising her hands up in the air. I had thought I'd meet
***Fancy's POV***After hearing what my father was suffering from, I marched to the doctor's office to inquire more. "Doctor, Please tell me just how severe my father's illness is and how much it costs." It's not that I have that much with me, but I sincerely just want to know how I can help my father. "Miss Fancy, it's great to see you again. How long has it been?" "More than 7 years now," I said politely. I remember that it was this hospital my father was admitted in, when he had the car accident. "Fancy, I know what your worries are. Your father actually suffered aplastic anemia, and the only way to get him back on track is through a bone marrow transplant."I didn't bother breaking down anymore because my parents had told me earlier and I had cried my eyes out. What I want to know is how much it costs for it. My parents have no idea how much because they are only trying to get drugs that could sustain him for the time being. "This is heartbreaking, doctor, I must say. So, to
**Fancy's POV***The next day, I rushed to the hospital to see my dad. Though the money isn't complete, I plan to give the doctor the 40 thousand dollars which Nora had lent me. After making sure that my father was okay, I quickly rushed to the doctor's office to meet him. “Hi, doctor.”“Fancy, you're back.” “Yes,” I said and quickly placed the money envelope on his desk. “This is half of the payment. I know there's no rule over the amount to pay. But I'm certain that with this half, we'll be able to get things prepared for my dad. Am I wrong?” I asked impatiently. Actually, though, I didn't agree with Nora at first about meeting Kevin. But she convinced me I can actually ask him for help to pay him back by working for him if possible. After thinking about her sighed, I found it something worth doing. I plan to visit Kevin after paying the deposit. This way, my father's surgery will not be delayed. I took my gaze to the doctor, who only watched the envelope and slowly pushed it
