Second Chance, Too Good to be true Chapter 15
Lydia kept pacing front and back in the living room waiting for Carson, who had insisted on speaking to Khloé alone all of a sudden.She didn't know what the man wanted to discuss with her. He had taken her to his study, meaning it was important and serious. She cannot stop pacing around nervously. Confusion was written all over her face. She didn't even understand why Carson had said he was making plans to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary. When did she tell Carson that?Aside from the fact that she doesn't have a job to raise money right now, Gary's school would be very expensive and she was sure of it. “Lydia, calm down. Carson is only speaking with her” Anny said from behind and Lydia turned to her.“Why are they taking so long? Do you know what they might be talking about?” She asked Anny who was tired of calming the woman. “You know what? Why don't you go in there yourself and tell him you are really worried about him talking to your daughter?” “No, no, I can't do that

After the house chores, Lydia informed Anny that she'll be going on a job hunt now. She felt pressured, especially after what Carson had done earlier on.Putting Khloé in school means she doesn't even have a choice on whether to work now or not, she has to search for something to do, and she has to do it now. Anny promised to take care of Khloé in her absence. Soon, she was out of the house, ready to face the world. With her CV in her hand, Lydia went from company to company. She wasn't just accepted, so she went to the company she used to work with. She was one of their best staff, so she presumes they'll accept her again.“Sorry Mrs. Lydia but there's no vacancy,” the secretary told Lydia, who bit her lip“Can I at least speak to Mr. Tony?” She asked, but the secretary shook her head. “Listen, I know him. I used to work here years back. I know if he sees me, he'll want to create a space for me. Can you please tell him that Lydia is here?” “I have to be disturbed, can you leave?”

It was a cool, autumn evening, Carson and Nick were sitting at the bar, nursing their drinks and chatting. The bar was dimly lit, with a cozy atmosphere. The bartender was mixing drinks behind the bar, and the low murmur of conversation filled the air. Carson and Nick had been friends for years, and they often met at the bar to talk about their days and unwind. They both needed the break after their long, stressful days.Nick took a sip of his drink and looked at Carson. “How’s work?” He asked.“You want to hear about my day?” Carson said, a slight smile on his face. Nick nodded, intrigued to hear what Carson had to say. “Well, it started out like any other day,” Carson began, "But then this client called me. The client was a man who had been accused of fraud, and he was proving to be quite a handful. I have been working tirelessly to defend him, but the client was making it difficult with his volatile and demanding behavior,” He paused and Nick laughed. Carson gave him a light pu

In Lydia’s room, Carson, Lydia, and Anny stood beside Khloe as she was being treated by Nick. The little girl has slept off. As Lydia watched Khloé, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her. She had left her daughter, trusting that she would be taken care of while she went out to look for a job. But she had been so focused on finding a job that she hadn't realized that something was wrong with Khloé. Now, she felt like the worst mother in the world. She could only hope that Khloé would be okay.“She'll be okay,” Anny said, sensing Lydia's distress.Lydia was restless, her sobs wracking her body. She kept self-blaming herself. If only she listened to Ma'am Anny and go on the job hunt next week, but no, she wanted to go for it immediately. And guess what? It was useless. Anny placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some comfort, “You have to calm down,” she said, her voice soft,“I know you're scared, but you have to stay strong for Khloé. She needs you to be strong.” Lydia t

Carson rushed to Gary's side, his eyes wide with worry. “What happened?” He asked, his voice full of concern. Gary hiccuped, trying to catch his breath. "What’s wrong?” Lydia couldn’t help but ask also.“Well, I overheard Marian yelling at Gary that he should avoid Khloé since she’s sick, so he wouldn’t be infected. I think that’s the reason he’s crying,” Anny said.“Oh no,” Lydia said, her heart sinking, “Marian yelled at Gary? That's horrible! Why would she even do that?” “I know,” Carson said, his expression grim. “But we need to keep in mind that Marian is just trying to do what she thinks is best. She's probably just worried about Khloé’s health, and she doesn't want anyone else to get sick.” Carson said. “I know, but still," Lydia said, her brow furrowed. “She shouldn't have yelled at Gary like that. He's just a kid.” She turned to Gary as she stroke his hair,“And why would Marian say that?” Lydia asked, her voice firm. “You can't catch Khloé’s illness. It's not contagi

Every individual in the house sat at the dining table, having their meal.As they ate, Lydia couldn't stop thinking about Gary and Khloé. She kept picturing Gary’s sad face when Marian yelled at him, and it made her heart ache. “Lydia, I’ve thought about this for long and I’ve finally made a decision,” Carson said and Lydia paused, paying attention to what he had to say.“Well, I want to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary, isn’t that a great idea?” Carson smiled.“That's a great idea!” Lydia said, her face lighting up. “It would be so good for them to be in the same school. They could have lunch together, and they could play at recess. And it would open Gary up to other friends!” Carson said, his eyes bright. “It would be so good for them both. I think they'd really enjoy it.” A smile spread across Lydia's face, but she didn't say anything. She could only nod. She smiled inwardly, knowing Carson had Khloé’s interest at heart.Marian stared at Lydia in disgust, she felt like

Lydia had rushed into the kitchen, as she didn't want to go into her room. Khloé was there, and if Khloé saw her cry, she would know. She tried to tell herself that she was a strong woman. Someone who can't be easily affected, but isn't true. She isn't a bold woman. She can be easily affected, so she burst into tears.Marian's words kept hitting her badly that she wished Carson had never told her about his plans to take Khloé to Gary's School. Calling her homeless? This was the worst blow she had received since George abandoned her years ago for some silly reason.Anny walked in with the dishes, “Lydia, please don't take Marian's words to heart. She can be annoying sometimes. Just let it go”Lydia sniffed as she raised her hands from her palms, “Ma'am Anny, I don't know… I think… I think I should leave” her words coming out with hiccups as she was trying to calm herself but nothing was working. Her eyes were glassy, tears stained her face and her nose was red. She just kept on shak

Marian had taken Gary to school already when Khloé woke up. “Mom, where's Gary?” She asked the moment she walked out of her room. She met ma'am Anny and Lydia discussing something.“Gary had gone to school. You'll be resuming school next week since you're still under treatment” Lydia replied as she called for Khloé to come to her. She touched her head to feel her temperature, then her neck. “But I'm fine now Mom” Khloé explained. She wanted to go with Gary. She promised the boy she'll go with him. It was supposed to be their first day at school together. “I know. You'll have to be done with your drugs first. Trust me” “But—” “Uncle Carson bought those drugs and it's expensive, Khloé" Khloé gulped before she nodded, “I'll take it. I'll take everything” “Good,” Lydia replied.“Your food's on the dining table” Lydia instructed and Khloé made her way to the dining. “Hello ma'am, there's someone here to see Mr. Carson” the security man came in to inform them “Oh, Mr. Carson has go
