Elyana's POVFelicity stayed with me that night. My parents went home and would return early in the morning to replace him. All through the night, he was not talking. He was busy working on his laptop while sitting on the chair, not that far from the bed where he lay down. It was too obvious how awkward it was for us both to be around each other. I wanted to start a conversation by asking how his work was, but I couldn't. When I needed to use the restroom, I slowly went down the bed, and in a snap, he was already next to me, helping me to stand. He didn't say anything. He grabbed my arm and he put it on his shoulder. One of his arms was on my waist while the other was pushing the pole with wheels where my dextrose was attached. When we had dinner, he was assisting me, putting food on my plate and making sure I ate enough until I was already the one stopping him because I was too full.We were like that during my four-day stay in the hospital. Aqui was not allowed to leave the hospit
Elyana's POVThe sun's rays going through the glass window of my room woke me up the next morning. I checked the time and it had already passed eight o'clock, but I still felt like sleeping, even though the sun was already high.My head felt heavy because of the lack of sleep. Dad left so much to think about last night and speaking of those, it went back again.I couldn't help but sigh. I sat on the side of the bed slowly while holding my stomach. It had been more than a month, but I could still feel so much pain deep inside. The stitches on the outside were already healed, but the inside was still healing.I tried my best to be careful by moving very carefully in slow motion, but no matter how much I tried, I still failed. I suddenly froze when I felt a stabbing pain from the core. I nearly cried when I felt it crawling like electricity from my lower stomach to my back. It was too painful.I considered returning to bed, but I knew that once I lay down, I would have a difficult time g
Elyana's POV I truly enjoyed the freshly brewed coffee Felicity sneaked into my room. I drank it with great pleasure while eating my French toast and not a single drop went to waste. I immediately washed the mug in the sink, leaving no trace or smell of what was its last content to prevent any of us from getting scolded once my mother found out. Felicity made me smile so much with what he did that morning. I never thought she would do it for me. Because of that, I suddenly remembered the coffee farm my parents gave me and considered discussing it with my father to find out what was happening there. I ate all the food they brought into my room and went to the nursery right after. I knew my parents would be there at that hour and I was right. My adorable boy, Aqui, was already awake at that time and my mom was the one carrying him when I walked in. I approached them to give my baby a kiss. Dad was on his laptop. He seemed busy, but when he noticed me, he immediately raised his head
Elyana's POVMy day went fast, but the night seemed so long. Felicity didn't come home just like he said, but without Bakla around, the house was like a different place.It seemed I was searching for his presence and Aqui, who got used to spending the night with him, kept on waking up from time to time, crying. He might be searching for him too and even though Dad was the one hugging him to sleep already, he still wasn't satisfied.Around eleven that night, we all woke up when Aqui cried so loud. My parents were the ones who slept in the nursery and I'd pumped enough milk for him to drink the whole night. I wasn't supposed to go to the nursery to check on him because I knew my parents did know what to do, but his cries were bothersome.I rushed over to see why he was crying. My parents were attempting to put him back to sleep. Dad was the one carrying him and rocking him gently in his arms. Mom was the one singing him a song, yet my son didn't want to hush.I want to take him and try
Elyana's POV"I was calling you. Why were you not answering? You made me so worried." I thought I was hallucinating that I was hearing Felicity's voice, but he was truly there.Felicity carried me, laid me back on the bed in a more comfortable position, tucked me in, and gave me painkillers. He was scolding me while he was doing those, but the pain I was feeling was too much and I couldn't focus on anything he was telling me aside from what he said he heard me scream; that's why he knocked. I couldn't say anything while he was firing me with words. I was too dizzy at that moment to respond to him. As I waited for the medicine to take effect, I heard Felicity cleaning the broken glass on the floor.I had no choice but to stay on the bed while hearing my son cry from the next room; however, I couldn't do anything at that moment.I waited for a few more minutes before the pain truly vanished. Aqui had already calmed down, but I was still bothered so I decided to get out of bed. "Where
Elyana's POVI couldn't be deceived. I looked sharply at him again from head to toe to take one last scan. I was sure he wasn't wearing a contact lens to fool me like that."Ellie? What are you doing? Why are you looking at Felix like that?" My mother panicked right after seeing what I was doing. "Did both of you have a misunderstanding again?" Mom continued, but I didn't have a plan to answer any of them.I just stared at him. He also did the same. I knew he was the one who would eventually give in. I wouldn't let him win anyway.I started counting in my head, and when I was only halfway from reaching ten, I saw the man in front of me grin before laughing out loud. "I really can't fool you. Hmp!" I knew it! He lost it. He returned to his normal shrill and slurred-crazy voice in no time."W-wait...what's going on here?" My mother asked us in confusion."Oh, come on, Auntie! Don't be too slow," Felicity told my mom. My mother's eyes widened as she realized what was happening."Oh,
Elyana's POVOf all the people in the mansion, Dad was the one who couldn't hide his anticipation of Felicity's decision to change. He was trying to change his entire self by altering his way of talking and walking and avoiding the gestures of his hands when he spoke. He also wanted us to call him Felipe instead of Felicity since that day, which I found quite suspicious because I often caught him talking seriously to my dad in different parts of the mansion before that happened. The only problem was that I didn't get a chance to know what they had been discussing all those times. They kept choosing places where it was hard to eavesdrop. I already asked my mom if she knew anything about what they were discussing, but she told me she had no idea.My curiosity grew because of the answer I got from her. A few days before his transformation, I caught them in the garden again when I went outside the veranda after deciding to continue reading the novel I started.I changed my plans and imm
Third-person's POVElyana's parents agreed to her plan to visit Lucas' mother, Helen. The old lady had been kind to their daughter since she first stepped into Wilhem's household. They both knew how close their daughter had become to the lady, and they did not want Elyana to have any regrets about not seeing her for the last time."I heard you're leaving." Elyana was in the nursery, busy with the book she hadn't finished yet. Her parents were both in an online meeting, which is why she was the one giving Aqui company at that time.She was so caught up in her reading that she did not notice that Felipe had already entered the room. When Elyana turned to look at him, she saw a gloomy expression on his face. She wanted to ask why, but the question he asked already had the answer."Yes, I will tomorrow. Dad has already fixed everything; a private plane will take me there to make it hassle-free for me, so there is nothing to worry about," Elyana replied. She went back to reading after glan
