INICIAR SESIÓNNATHALIE'S POV
–
“Mommy, is Papa Tyler okay?”
I can’t answer Sapphire’s question. I’m not sure what to answer either.
Tyler seemed to freeze right where he stood. His back was straight, he didn’t blink, and his eyes were wide open.
“Ty...” I shook his arm. “Ty.”
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–He added further, “As long as your conscience is clear, do not feel any guilt. You are doing this for your children’s well-being, and above all, for their lives. That is all. That is as far as it goes.”I don’t agree with hiding Calix’s situation from Veronica. Because from every angle, she’s his wife, and she is the one who has the right to Calix.But, protecting my children is my top priority, no matter what.“Thank you for what you said, Harrison.”“That’s nothing. So don’t think about anything else except your children’s well-being.”Speaking of that.I shifted my gaze to Sapphire who was still sound asleep.I’m anxious she might react abruptly when she lays eyes on Calix.Calix may already have some inkling of what we had in the past, I wasn’t sure if he w
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–Everything around went quiet, and silence hung between Tyler and me, until he broke the silence.“I’ll just go out for a moment,” he mentioned.“Where are you headed to?” I questioned him, carrying a concern I’d concealed.“I’ll just get some coffee.”He stood up to leave, but before he had taken five steps he faced me again.His serious face as he stood up, became soft as he approached me and sat down next to me again.“Will you be alright if I leave you here briefly?” concern was evident in both his tone and expression.“Yes,” I assured him. “Don’t worry about me. With so much that has happened to me, what else can I not handle?”He held my hand. “I’ll be right back.”He gave me a smile, and I paused briefly as he cupped the bac
NATHALIE'S POV–“Mommy, is Papa Tyler okay?”I can’t answer Sapphire’s question. I’m not sure what to answer either.Tyler seemed to freeze right where he stood. His back was straight, he didn’t blink, and his eyes were wide open.“Ty...” I shook his arm. “Ty.”“Huh?” he faked a cough.“Papa, are you okay?”“Yes. I’m fine.”“Are you sure?” I questioned, feeling a bit worried.“Yeah... I... I was caught off guard, that’s all—I was just shocked,” he said, appearing out of it, until the rhythm of his blinking settled back to usual.“Where is it?” I asked agai
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–“Baby, baby!” I didn’t let the panic in my voice show.I lightly took hold of Sapphire’s arm and carefully pulled her arms off me.I sat in front of her.In the past four years, Sapphire has grown taller, so whenever I sit in front of her, she’s a little over my head. It’s not like before when I sit in front of her, our eyes are level.“M-Mommy...” her voice trembled as she cried. “please, don’t send me back to them, Mommy.”I gently wiped her cheek with my index finger. “No, baby.” I assured her. “I won’t take you back to them.”Whenever this situation happens, I always wonder why Sapphire always thinks I’m taking her back to her family?Am I to blame because I don’t show and make her feel enough love?Still, no matter how often she asks, I w
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–I kissed Xander’s forehead, filled with so much love and tenderness, “I love you, my little one. I’m sorry I can’t go inside the operating room with you, but Mommy will be right here waiting outside. I know you can get through this,” I whispered, just as the nurses wheeled him in.I was trying so hard to hold back my tears when I saw Calix and walked up to him.Calix stared at me, completely motionless.Xander was already fast asleep when they wheeled him into the operating room, but I am also worried sick about Calix’s condition.“Nurse, is he okay?” I asked, my voice trembling with fear, worry, and pleading. “Why isn’t he moving? Even the way he blinks doesn’t seem right.”“He’s alright, ma’am. You don’t have to worry about anything. The anesthesia was injected into Mr. Calix&rsq
NATHALIE'S POV 🍃–“Whatever happened and why I disappeared from your memory, maybe that’s what you wanted too—that you don’t remember anything about me anymore.”He remained his at me with lips parted just a little, seemingly stunned by my words.“If only you remembered me at all,” I trailed off, remembering his actions in the heat of his anger before. “you wouldn’t waste even a second of your time on me.” As I press forward, sorrow fills my heart. “You want me to disappear from your life.”He remained silent and didn’t seem to have any more plans to speak.I have nothing left to say except for one thing. “Maybe it really is for the best that you don’t remember me. It looks like you’re much happier now without me in your life, and honestly, we’re doing just fine too. Don’t come back here ever again, and don’t come back to us either, Mr. Calix.”Then I went back inside and closed the door.I k
NATHALIE’S POV-“Baby, let’s check your temperature again.” I told her.She nodded with a smile.I took the body temperature using a gun-style thermometer.“Baby...” I said sweetly. “I’m going to put this on your forehead,” I reminded her. This morning she was scared of this body temperature. Aft
NATHALIE’S POV-I’ve been sitting quietly for hours, watching Brianna.I can’t even bring myself to shut my eyes, not for a single moment, until she wakes up, until I’m certain she’s alright, and most importantly, until her fever subsides.On the other side, Sir Calix is sitting on the sofa a li
CALIX’S POV-“Oh my gosh, Calix!” Veronica exclaimed joyfully upon entering her office, noticing me standing before her office table.She dashed towards me, ready to embrace me, but I swiftly raised the envelope I was holding, which instinctively stopped her in her tracks right in front of me.“Wh
NATHALIE’S POV-I smiled, blinking, wondering.His question was out of the blue moon. Conceivably he wanted us to have something to talk about or something?Well, there was a time when I wondered and now I’m suddenly curious.“Why is that, sir, though? The combination is so surprising...” I’m not
