Painful Divorce 94
Kevin took a deep breath. “Jessica… I know I’ve hurt you a lot. Even before you got sick. Since long ago. But I didn’t come here just because you’re sick. I came because… because I still love you.”Jessica didn’t respond right away. She looked down, eyes on her cooling cup of tea.“I believe you’re sincere,” she said at last. “But I’m not sure that’s enough to fix everything.”“I’m not asking for everything to be fixed in a day,” Kevin replied quietly. “I just want a chance. Even if you end up choosing Jonas… I’ll still be a good father to Anya. But if there’s still room… no matter how small, I’d like to fill it.”Jessica looked at him for a long moment. “The issue isn’t who can be a good father. You and Jonas—you both care about Anya. And I trust that you always will.”Kev

That morning, the sky was pale, as if mirroring Jessica’s mood. Outside her bedroom window, the wind softly blew the white curtain, carrying the scent of dew and blooming flowers. Inside the room, Anya was still asleep, her arm wrapped around Jessica’s waist, gently warming a body that had just begun to feel whole again after the hospital stay.Jessica sat leaning against the headboard, not wanting to wake the little girl. Her eyes stared blankly at the still-closed door. It had been three days since she returned to her father’s house, and Kevin hadn’t truly spoken with her directly. Only brief greetings, making sure she took her medication, and a quick kiss on Anya’s forehead before heading to work.But this morning, she wanted to talk.She needed to talk.She needed to unravel the knots that had been tied for too long in silence, in unspoken wounds and longing.Slowly, she slipped away from Anya’s side and gent

“But what if what I feel for Kevin is just… a sense of debt to the past? What if it’s just nostalgia and sympathy?”Jonas paused for a moment. “If that’s what you feel… maybe you already know where your heart wants to go.”Jessica turned toward him. “I’m afraid, Jonas. Afraid of making the wrong choice.”“You’re not wrong for choosing what makes you feel alive. The only wrong choice is the one where you lie to yourself.”Jessica closed her eyes. The wind stirred again.Just then, her phone buzzed once more. This time from Kevin.[I’d like to talk again tomorrow, if you’re willing. No pressure. Just heart to heart.]Jessica exhaled deeply.Tomorrow. The choice had to be made—sooner or later.But tonight… She just wanted peace. To rest and ait for the quiet voice within to speak.The night grew late as Jessica sat alone on her father’s porch. The cold air pierced gently, though not as cold as the confusion in her heart. Ever since Kevin and Jonas had both expressed their intentions, her

Kevin stood in the yard, looking at one of Anya’s forgotten toys. His heart felt empty. Guilt, longing, hope—all swirled in his mind.He remembered the first time he saw Jessica holding Anya. At that moment, he knew—even if they were no longer together—Jessica would always be a part of his life.Kevin knew he hadn’t been the perfect partner. But he wanted to try. He wanted to make up for his past mistakes with something that mattered—a second chance.If that meant competing with Jonas… then so be it.That night, Jessica sat before her mirror. Her hair had started growing back. Her face was paler than it used to be, but there was no longer fear in her eyes.On the small table beside her bed lay two letters.One from Jonas.One from Kevin.She read them both slowly.Jonas’s letter was handwritten—simple, honest. It spoke of a future he imagined: a small h

Jonas looked at her. “Whose voice do you hear most?”Jessica smiled weakly. “The past. The pain. But also yours… and Kevin’s.”The name hung in the air.Jonas didn’t respond immediately. He stared at the floor, thinking, then slowly looked up.“I know this isn’t easy for you, Jessica. But you have to choose.”She turned her gaze out the window, into the cloudy night.“I don’t know who to choose… because every time I imagine losing one of you, it feels like losing a part of myself. And I don’t want to lose anyone ever again.”“Kevin wants to get back together. I know,” Jonas said gently. “And I want to marry you. But neither of us can do anything if you don’t know what you really want.”Jessica looked down. “I want peace. I want… a calm ending.”“Then who gives you that sense o

The night grew deeper. The rain still fell gently, like nature’s whisper trying to calm her heart. Jessica stared at the ceiling, then finally lay down, pulling the blanket to her chest.Her mind was full. But one thing she knew for sure: she couldn’t make a decision this big in a state of turmoil. She had to heal first. Truly heal, before giving her heart to anyone.Because half-given love… would only end up hurting everyone.That night, she fell asleep. Outside, two men who loved her walked away—each with different steps, and different hopes.***The evening sky turned dim. A sky they once used to gaze at together, now felt like a space with no sides to take. Jessica sat at the edge of her bed, wearing a light gray sweater Jonas once gave her when she shivered from her treatments. Outside her room, Anya giggled with Grandpa Randy, who was helping her with a puzzle. Those little sounds filled the house with life.Jo
