Anya hugged Jessica tighter. “Don’t leave either.”
Jessica nodded. “I promise.”
When Kevin got home and opened up the door, the first thing he saw was Jessica on the couch, Anya sleeping on his knee.
The living room lights glowed softly, and the sweet, oily scent of fried bananas lingered in the air. Jessica turned with a smile.
“Welcome back, Mr. Kevin.”
Kevin grinned as he set his bag down on the floor. “I swear I just walked into a new house.”
Jessica pinched her own arm playfully. “Nah, still your place.”
Kevin crouched beside the couch, gently brushing Anya’s hair. “Has she been fussy?”

“I… I’m grateful you’ve been here all this time. You’ve always been patient, never demanding. But I’m afraid… I can’t give you what you truly deserve.”“Jessica, I’m not asking you to repay everything I’ve done. I’m asking you to be honest with yourself. If you still love Kevin… I’ll step back. But don’t choose me out of guilt.”Those words cut deeper than Jonas might have realized. Jessica wanted to cry—but held it in.That night, after Anya had gone to bed, Kevin came over. Jessica hadn’t told Jonas that Kevin would be visiting. She told herself it was just a conversation. Just a talk.Kevin brought two cups of coffee from their old favorite café. “Still like vanilla lattes?”Jessica smiled. “Still. But now I use stevia instead of sugar.”They sat in the living room, surrounded by silence and s

“They both seem to care,” he continued. “But in the end, only one can stay by your side.”Jessica didn’t respond. She knew that. And that’s exactly why she didn’t want to rush into an answer.After breakfast, Jessica chose to sit on the porch. She spread a thin blanket over the long bench and watched the trees in the yard. The setting brought back old memories—of the time she and Kevin used to visit the countryside, sometimes sitting on that very bench, talking about the future… about Anya, who hadn’t even been born yet.Then everything shattered. Then came Jonas—bringing hope and heartbreak in one complicated bundle.The sound of a car pulled her from her thoughts. She turned—and immediately recognized the vehicle.Kevin.He stepped out carefully, carrying a small potted frangipani. His steps were hesitant as he walked toward the porch, but his gaze was steady.

Jonas stood behind them, discreetly wiping his eyes before stepping forward and leaning in to kiss Jessica’s forehead.“Thank you for holding on,” he whispered.Jessica nodded. “I held on because of all of you. Because of Anya. Because… there are still people I want to love a little longer.”That night, peace settled over Papa Randy’s house. A soft breeze drifted in through a slightly open window, carrying the scent of frangipani from the backyard. In the bedroom, a dim lamp cast a warm glow on Jessica’s face, which now looked more at ease than it had in weeks. Her body was still weak, but the fear had eased. After the promising results that morning, her spirit had slowly begun to return. Tonight was the first night in a long time that she could smile without pretending.Anya was asleep in her arms. The little girl’s breaths rose and fell gently, murmuring now and then in her sleep. Jona

Jessica nodded, shifting her chair to make space. “I’m relieved too, Kevin. It feels like I can finally breathe again.”Kevin glanced at Anya, then at Jonas, and finally at Randy. “Would it be okay if I took Anya out front for a bit?”Jessica turned to Anya. “Wanna go play with Daddy for a while?”Anya nodded eagerly, kissed Jessica on the cheek, and took Kevin’s hand.Once they’d left for the front yard, Jonas and Randy headed into the kitchen, leaving Jessica alone on the porch.She drew in a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the wide, open sky.That morning, Papa Randy’s house felt warmer than usual. The sun had just begun streaming through the living room windows, casting a soft glow on the sofa where Jessica rested, a blanket draped over her legs, a steaming cup of tea on the side table. Her hair fell loosely over her shoulders, slightly messy, and though her eyes still held trace

At Randy’s house, Jessica was greeted with a warm hug from her father.“You’re glowing, sweetheart. How was the check-up?”Jessica looked up at him, eyes shining. “I’m in remission, Dad. The doctor said I’m officially cancer-free.”He hugged her tighter. “Praise God… You’re so strong, Jessica. You’re amazing.”From behind the door, Anya appeared with her favorite stuffed animal in hand and ran straight into Jessica’s arms.“You’re not sick anymore?” she asked, eyes wide.Jessica bent down, pulling her close and kissing her forehead. “I’m healthy now, Sweetheart. We can go to the park again.”Anya squealed. “Yay!”Kevin arrived not long after and quietly joined the group hug. Though his heart still held unspoken weight, today he just wanted to be part of Jessica’s joy.“Congratul

“Clinically speaking,” Dr. Mira continued, “you are in full remission. There’s no sign of further spread. No abnormal activity in the bloodwork or scans.”Jonas inhaled sharply. He turned to Jessica, who sat frozen in place, her eyes wide and slowly beginning to well with tears.“So… I…?” she whispered.Dr. Mira smiled, soft and understanding. “Congratulations, Jessica. You’re officially cured. We’ll continue to monitor you for the next few months, of course, but you won’t need any more chemotherapy. And you can begin returning to your normal life.”It took Jessica a few seconds to fully absorb those words.Cured.A word that had once felt like a distant dream. A word she had almost stopped believing in. But today… she heard it with her own ears.Without realizing it, tears started to stream down her cheeks. Jonas took her hand tightly, then k
