Chapter 153:Oh,My God!Charles stared at the meal on the plate before him. He was famished but had no idea how to eat it. He had never seen a meal like this, nor did he remember how to eat anything. Hell, the only things he recalled were events that happened after he woke up in the hospital says ago. Apart from that, his head was foggy, and trying to clear out the fog only seemed to get him a splitting headache."Hey, you look lost, but don't be worried. They are called Tamales and they taste very nice. Watch what I do and follow me." Aurora beamed at him took a wrap of the Tamale, unwrapped it, and began to enjoy the content in it. He nodded eagerly, took a hot wrap, and carefully unwrapped it. He let out a deep breath the moment the hot corn dough filled with various ingredients touched his tongue. It was so delicious and he found himself ravaging the dush, enjoying everything about the dish. It tasted heavenly and that was all that mattered to him at this point. "I see that you a
Chapter 152: Don’t Ever Call This Number Again. "You did what?" Aby scolded over the phone. "I said I went in search of the man who saved my life. I needed to thank him for being there at that time. If he hadn't saved me, I would have killed myself and my baby. I owe him a lot of thanks." She sucked lightly on a slice of orange."Don't you think it is a little early to be seen around with another man just weeks after you'd husband's passing?" Ava squinted her eyes wondering what it was her best friend was on to. How did going over to thank a man who had saved her turn into her trying to get into another man's heart? "I do not get what you are trying to say, Aby. I simply went over there to thank him." She said."And obviously, you both then fell on the floor and began to laugh heartily at a place where you had lost your husband weeks ago. Doesn't that look and sound weird?" "How do you know about that? I haven't told you that yet." Ava said, suddenly aware that news must have tra
Chapter 151: So HappyAva had never felt a smile as wide as the one on her lips right now. She couldn't believe that she was standing before the man who had saved her life."Good afternoon." She breathed out the greeting. He swirled from the water he was overlooking and a gorgeous smile lined his face when she saw Ava standing beside him with a smile plastered on her face. "Hey…" He said, momentarily stoked by shock. What was she doing here? He was usually the one who found her, not the other way around. Well, it was not like he always wanted to find her. He just always manages to do just that. "What are you doing here?" He asked her after the initial shock had worn off. "I came to find you." She said matter of factly.He stared at her with a confused glint in his eyes, a million and one question dancing through. "Why?" He didn't wait for her to reply before saying. "Well, you do not look so mad and angry today, so that should be a good sign.""I am glad you are picking up the c
Chapter 150: Aurora's Disappointment Manuel took the stairs two at a time until he was able to get a hold of his sister. She swatted his arm away from her, sniffing in loudly.He grabbed her tighter this time and spun her around until she was facing him. Tears ran down her face freely and his heart broke on seeing his sister looking pale and hurt. He had made a promise to his late mother to always protect her and yet, he was making her cry. His mother would turn in her grave for this. "I am so sorry." He apologized, his eyes brimming with tears. "What were you trying to do? Kill a man? What was that supposed to achieve?" Her cries cut deep into his heart. His palm covered her lips as he cooed her to be quiet. "Shh! Don't yell. I am sorry. I promise I will never do that again."Aurora stared into her brother's eyes and couldn't tell if she believed him or not. Something about him had changed. He was no longer that sweet, young, unassuming big brother man she had looked up to for pr
Chapter 149:Lost Memory?"What do you mean by he lost his memory?" Manuel yelled as his sister explained the events that occurred today at the hospital."I don't understand. I am not a doctor, I do not have a scientific explanation for that. But I do have a strong feeling that what happened to him is a result of the kick you had given him to knock him out." She hissed at her brother. "What? That dude would have gotten us caught if I hadn't done what I had done earlier. Gosh, I had so many plans for when he woke up." He groaned in annoyance."Hey, calm down, I do not know you to be this angry. Anyway, what plans did you have?" Her curiosity got the best of her. "Money, sis! That guy was supposed to be our ticket out of this miserable life we are living." He hissed. Aurora stared at her brother in confusion wondering what he was talking about."I do not get you. How is he the ticket out of this?" She waved at their shabby apartment without furniture. She may not like how their apartm
Chapter 148:Damien Awakes.Aurora walked into the hospital ward clutching a thermos flask. She couldn't explain why, but she had felt so convinced to pack food for the unconscious man.It has been days, and he has yet to come out of his coma. The doctors were not saying anything anything positive about his situation, but she was certain he would wake up someday, like today.Her smile was wide as she sat beside him. His body was stoic and unmoving, just like the first time they had brought him here. He had not moved an inch since, but she had watched him change."Good morning, big friend." She beamed widely as she dropped the flask on the stand where stuffs were kept."I brought lunch today. I hope you would be hungry about to wake up and eat some." She announced with a grin, acting as though he could hear her. Her brother had fought vehemently against her doing this, but she didn't care. The man was human like her and he deserved to be communicated to in the most lovely way possible.
