Chapter 38.2“I'm sorry, ma'am, but that’s the hospital policy,” said the guard. I just nodded at him and looked down at Lauren, who was now looking up at me.“I'll stay here and wait for you, mommy,” she said, surprising me. I immediately shook my head.“No, baby. I won’t leave you alone here. We'll wait for Tita Edna, okay?” I said. She nodded. I held her hand and brought her to a nearby waiting shed.I lifted Lauren so she could sit down. I felt her back and noticed it was damp with sweat.I took a towel from the bag we brought and placed it on her back.I got another towel to wipe the sweat forming on her forehead and neck. I handed her the tumbler while I fixed her slightly messy hair.“Are you okay, sweetheart?” I asked her.We had been sitting there for a few minutes already, and several passengers had already left, but we were still here. I still hadn't received any text or call from Edna. The sun was already blazing, making me sweat profusely.“Yeah,” she replied and looked a

Chapter 38.1Thunderous applause filled the entire gym after Lauren and I sang.I smiled, and so did she.We held each other’s hands and bowed together at the center of the stage. I first took my phone from the sound operator before we stepped down. Once we got off the stage, we immediately returned to the bleachers where we had been sitting earlier.“Wow! You were both amazing!” Sheena greeted us, clapping as we reached the bleachers. I smiled and thanked her.“I love your voice, Lauren!” Aecil said excitedly.Lauren smiled at her.“Thank you, Aecil.”Our attention returned to the stage when the emcee spoke again. We sat down and waited to hear what she’d say.“Okay. Since Lauren—our beautiful girl with a beautiful voice, which she clearly inherited from her mother—volunteered,” the emcee said, making my cheeks flush. “Let’s now continue with the program,” she added, making the crowd laugh. The emcee then looked at the paper she was holding, which I assumed was the program copy.“Oka

Chapter 37.2“I agreed and said, ‘Yes, Lauren wants to join."“Aecil wants to join too!” she said excitedly. She seemed even more excited than her daughter.After a while, we heard the emcee.“Okay. Go to the starting line, please,” the emcee announced. We straightened up in position. “Babies, please go to the center of the track and leave the mommies at the starting line. Make sure you're lined up with your mommies.”Lauren went to the center of the track. We were given sticks of different colors that matched the color assigned to our kids.“Okay, ready? On my cue! One!” I gripped the stick tightly. “Two! Three!” I immediately ran toward Lauren, who was now jumping in the middle of the track.“Go Babe! Woooh!”I could hear all the cheering while I was running, but Adam’s voice stood out the most.“Go, Mommy! Faster!” Lauren cheered me on. She clapped her hands as I got closer. I was out of breath as I handed her the stick, and she instantly ran toward the finish line along with the o

Chapter 37.1When we returned to the gym, there were already a lot of people and it was quite noisy. I saw how delighted Lauren was by everything around her. I smiled and we headed to the bleachers on the side, where families wearing the same shirt color as ours were seated."Hi!" I heard Lauren greet her classmates. As Lauren began chatting with them, I smiled at the parents sitting nearby.After greeting them, I sat a row behind where Lauren and her classmates were seated. I let Lauren sit with her peers.I just watched her as she happily chatted with her classmates. I couldn't help but smile whenever she laughed and her eyes sparkled with joy.My attention shifted when someone sat beside me. I turned to my right and saw a woman who, like me, was also wearing the event t-shirt. She smiled at me and was carrying a blue backpack."Hi!" she greeted. She only had lip tint on, but she was already very pretty. Her brown hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore black eyeglasses.I smiled

Chapter 36.2Our most awaited day finally came—the Family Day event at Lauren's school.Lauren was already awake early in the morning and, even though it was still dark outside, she came to wake me up."Mommy! Come on!"I took a deep breath before sitting up properly. I saw Lauren standing at the foot of my bed, freshly bathed and wearing her pink robe.Her hair was still wet, clearly just out of the bathroom. I smiled at her and opened my arms for a hug.She smiled, immediately climbed onto the bed, and lay on top of me to hug me. I laughed but winced a bit as some water from her hair dripped onto my arm and eyes."Your hair is still wet, honey," I said. "You're excited, huh?" I teased.She backed away a little and bit her lower lip. I wiped off the milk residue from the side of her mouth."Because it's gonna be so much fun!" she said cheerfully and even started jumping on the bed. I laughed at how much energy she had, even that early in the morning."Okay." I held her hand to stop h

Chapter 36.1Days before the event, we practiced together. Lauren really has a beautiful voice—soothing and sweet. I smiled as I watched her sing the song she had chosen so emotionally. I had heard that song before but never paid much attention to it—yet now that Lauren was the one singing it, I wanted to hear it again and again.“Mommy…”I turned to Lauren when she called me. I had been staring at her so intently that I didn’t even realize she had stopped singing and was now standing close to me.“What is it, hm?”I picked up the white towel beside me and gently wiped her face and neck.“My teacher said we need to be there early in the morning,” she said, then drank from her pink tumbler.“Why?” I asked, stroking her hair as I waited for her to finish drinking.“She’s going to give us colored shirts depending on our grade level. We have a sponsor, that’s why,” she shrugged. I paused mid-stroke and looked at her lovely face.“Really?” I asked, a bit surprised.I didn’t know there woul

Chapter 35.2The next day, I woke up early to go to work. Lauren was still asleep when I got up. Her caretaker arrived last night, so I didn’t need to wait for her anymore.I cooked breakfast first before getting myself ready. I wore the uniform of the resort where I’m currently working. I never thought I’d end up working in one of the branches of the place we visited before.“Edna?” I called the twenty-six-year-old slender woman. She was in the room assigned to her.I smiled at her, “You’ll take care of Lauren, okay?”“Sure! I got her, don’t worry,” she replied, putting me at ease.It was still a bit dark when I left the house, so it was just starting to brighten up when I arrived at the resort. I greeted the other employees as I walked inside. There are only a few I really get along with here. But even so, I just ignore the others. I wouldn’t gain anything from them anyway.“Hi Loise! Good morning!” Carla greeted me. She’s the one working with me today.“Good morning,” I replied as

Chapter 35.1Have you ever felt so guilty that it’s choking you up? I closed my eyes as I saw Lauren looking gloomy today. She's not the usual talkative and cheerful Lauren I raised. After that talk the other day, she seems different now. No matter how many times she tries to be cheerful, her eyes say otherwise.“What happened to her?”I opened my eyes and turned to my side. I saw Daddy standing there, his gaze fixed in the distance—I assumed it was on Lauren, where she was now. I looked away and turned to where Lauren was. She was playing with her dolls outside the house.“Uh… She asked about her father…” I swallowed. “And then she told me she’ll never ask about him again. I never thought she’d act this way.”I heard him take a deep breath.“Eli,” he started. “Eli's always asking me about him and I refused to answer because I knew nothing either. She told me her classmates’ Daddies always bring them home. She was curious but brushed it off because she thought it might hurt you. But n

Chapter 34.2I was setting the food on the table when Lauren suddenly got down from her seat and ran outside the house."Grandpa!" I heard her yell from outside. I couldn't hear what else she said as her voice grew fainter.Moments later, the two of them entered the kitchen. Only Lauren’s cheerful voice filled the air."Yes! We'll play with my dolls today! Do you want to join us, Grandpa? It will be so much fun! I'll let you borrow Wendy," Lauren said. Wendy is one of the dolls she named.Daddy was about to respond to her when he noticed me watching the two of them. He looked away and shook his head at Lauren. Her shoulders slumped and she pouted. I thought she was about to cry, but to my surprise, she smiled at her grandfather instead."Okay! We'll play some other time then!" she said cheerfully and ran back to her seat, still smiling.My heart ached at what I saw. She's just a child, yet she already knows how to pretend in front of others, especially in front of us.How did you grow
