Then he thought of calling Henry."What?" Henry answered, a bit upset; he just napped."What happened to Kimberly's mother?" He sounds alarmed."Are you insane, Nathan? You were just here an hour ago, and you saw her, talked to her, and now you're asking me again? You know what! I'm taking a little nap, and you are distu___" Henry's tone was louder."Henry, Kimberly just called me, and she's with Andy. I heard him shouting at her." Nathan interrupted."Andy?" He repeats."You know him?""Of course, he is always here accompanying Mrs. Aston every night. He's the adopted son." Henry rose. What he heard from Nathan was something interesting."I'm worried, I heard them shouting at each other, and they were on their way to the hospital, so I thought there was something wrong ___.""You're overreacting; they were always like that.""What do you mean?""I always witnessed that cat and dog fight of them whenever they are here.""Really?" Nathan sounds suspicious."Don't tell me you're jealous
The preparation for Mrs. Aston's operation had been finalized. Kimberly and Nathan are waiting in her room for the doctor's advice to transfer her to the operating room."Mom, you'll be fine, right?" Kimberly asked worriedly."I'll be alright." Her mother smiled."Kimberly! Dr. Rebecca needs you." The nurse said."You go ahead. I'll talk to mom first." Nathan was at her side, pressed her palm, and stayed in the room."Mom, Sophia." He started."I told you, I will try my best." Mrs. Aston rubbed his hand."Here, Uncle Xander gave this to me when I was sick; he'll guide you." Nathan placed a crucifix necklace onto her hand."You still have this?""I've been keeping that since I was younger.""You respect Xander a lot." She cried weakly with tears."Yes, so much, and I want to fulfill what I promise him. I'll protect and love your daughter." Nathan seriously said."Xander's most price possession was only Kimberly. He was about to leave me, but when I told him I was pregnant, he stayed an
They reach the apartment at about one in the morning."Ahh! So tiring!" Nathan jumped onto the bed as they arrived."Want me to prepare the bathtub for you?" She asked unintentionally. But he grabbed her quickly and laid her on the bed."Will you join me?!" He teased her again."Nathan, stop it! We're just gone out of the hospital! We are untidy, look." She refused."I don't care!" He insists, kissing her passionately.She can never resist him as she answers it back. But then suddenly, he stopped and just stared at her with an inch of space between their faces."What?!" She was puzzled while touching his face."Do you trust me now?" He asked sincerely."I already told you that I trusted you, right?""Can you live without me?" He asked solemnly."Hey, what's this again, Nathan?" She tried to push him."Answer me!" But he persisted, eager to know her answer."I can't." She cried, touching his lips with hers again. "I can't live without you, Nathan." She completed deep into him."Thanks!
Days have gone fast, and it has been five days since Mrs. Aston's operation was done successfully, and today, Friday afternoon, she'll be discharged, together with her daughter and son-in-law, packing all her things in the bag."Doctor Rebecca, I'm so thankful that we meet!" Mrs. Aston was holding the doctor's hand tightly, having teary eyes."My pleasure Mrs. Aston; always be careful. My nephew, Henry, will visit you occasionally to check your stats." The doctor advised."My endless thanks, doctor, for the both of you!" Mrs. Aston smiled widely."So Auntie, we expect you to be our godparents at the wedding." Nathan said."Of course! I'm sure to be there! You're a wonderful couple. Congratulations to both of you." She kissed Kimberly's cheeks."Thanks, doctor, for everything." She cried, and they waved each other hands as the car left.Since yesterday, Kimberly has been so happy about her mom returning home to Will and Grill Restaurant, which reopened last Monday. Nathan gave her back
This was the first time he left without saying I love you too each other. She remains standing outside for more minutes staring blankly at the street where Nathan's car left, thinking. Kimberly's mother was watching them over the window and called her."Kimberly!" She waves her hand."I'm coming, mom!" She turned to her and walked inside. But before she went upstairs, one of the crew called her."Ma'am Kimberly, you have a package! I think it's your wedding gown." The girl smiled excitedly."Thanks!" She smiled back."Ma'am, I'm sure you'll be lovely tomorrow!""Yes, I want that for my husband-to-be.""You and Sir Nathan are the best couples I've ever seen!""Oh, I'm overwhelmed!" She said. They both laughed.Unlike in her teenage life, she was always with Andy, not having a chance to join another's company, which she hated the most. Kimberly was now used to communicating, laughing, and getting together with others as crew and staff of the restaurant. Everything changed when Nathan ca

After what happened at the car park, Nathan was so worried, hoping Andy could stay longer inside the car; just as long as the wedding was over, he'll do everything to explain and make up for the trouble he did."You look serious; better wear a smile. Your bride is on the way." Henry whispered again; he took a deep sigh before answering."Don't tell anyone." He whispered back."You know that I won't.""Is there something wrong, Nathan? You look pale." His mother was worried as they were waiting at the entrance."Nothing, mom." He smiled a little."He was just nervous." Henry made a little joke for them to change the mood."Don't be!" His mother laughs.A few more minutes pass, and the bridal car arrives; the wedding planner starts to do her job gathering everyone in position while the audience, mainly from Nathan's relatives, friends, workmates, and some of the staff in Will and Grill restaurant, are all in their seats, excited.

Rev. Lance: Well then, let's proceed.Blessing of the Arras.As they exchange the areas, Kimberly's hands are shaking. She can't fight it, and Nathan feels so guilty. This is like forcing her to marry him, like choosing him over her mother despite her condition.Rev. Lance: May God bless this coming together of two unique souls, and may it forever house love... loyalty... and friendship...The priest made a lot of pauses, still worrying about Kimberly's condition, thinking that she better stop the wedding since it was essential.Rev. Lance: Let's take a few moments to__"Please, stop. I'm sorry, Father." Nathan suddenly speaks and looks apologetically at the priest. He can't help it.Kimberly stared blankly at the floor and thought she must stay beside him, but her mind was at the hospital, worrying about her mother.She was shocked to hear Nathans's words and turned her eyes on him."Nathan?!?!?" She cried."Father, I'm sorry about this. But we have to stop the wedding." He continued
