“You better start talking!” Julia's voice was slightly above high, she didn’t have her normal jovial look..

Tim stood there with unbothered face, halfway through buttoning his shirt, unsure if it was too early for this kind of confrontation or if it was already too late. But one thing was certain, he wasn’t cut out for another shit of drama, is just too early for that.

“I was here right after your closing time,” she continued, arms folded across her chest, her brows tightly knotted. “I waited for three good hours. Three! You didn’t show up, you didn’t call. Nothing. I had to go back home to my mum in the middle of the night because she needed my attention.”

There was no calm in her tone, no patience either.

Tim let out a breath, not of relief but of frustration. Lately, every conversation with Julia had become an argument, a stretch of war between logic and emotion. His relationship had begun to feel like another weight on his already heavy shoulders.

    Jeff paced around the living room, his face a mix of confusion and worry. "I don’t understand," he muttered, dragging his hand through his hair. "Where exactly could he be, and why did he leave the house all alone? None of this is making sense."Morris, trying to stay calm for both their sakes, reached out to him. "Calm down, son. If we don’t hear from him in the next twenty-four hours, we’ll contact the police. We don’t want to panic just yet."Just then, Amaya walked in, her hands trembling slightly as she held a cup of water. She moved toward Jeff, her eyes full of worry, and gently offered him the drink. "Here, I think you should take this. You’ve been here since morning. It’s already past three in the afternoon, and you haven’t eaten a thing."Jeff’s face tightened with frustration. He looked at her with eyes full of pain and anger, then raised his voice, almost shouting, "Don’t call me your son! I am not your son."The sound of his voice filled the room and startled her. The gla

    Lizzy opened her eyes slowly, blinking a few times as her sight adjusted. Everything felt blurry at first, like someone had poured water over her vision. Slowly, the room became clearer, and she saw Samson sitting nearby, watching her quietly. He stood and walked over, gently helping her to sit up."Easy on that," he said, keeping his voice calm. "You’re not strong enough yet."She looked around the unfamiliar hospital room, trying to piece everything together. Then her eyes widened. She reached down and touched her stomach. A wave of panic rushed through her."What happened? I remember I was in the kitchen… and then the blood," she said, her voice picking up.Samson came closer, took a seat at the edge of the bed, and rested his elbows on his knees. "Calm down, Lizzy, please. You don’t have the strength for this right now. We’ll talk later."She pulled off the thin hospital duvet, determination rising in her face. "No, I’m fine. Just tell me. What happened? Why are you acting like th

    Grandpa Lu turned slowly at the sound of footsteps and saw her standing there. He stood up at once, not wasting a second. Bella walked up to him, her face soft, and her voice calm. "I’m so sorry," she said gently. "I heard what happened."Grandpa gave a simple nod, his eyes saying more than words could. Through it all, Jeff never took his eyes off Bella. He watched her every step, every move. She turned to him and spoke again, more quietly now, "Hi… can we talk outside?"Jeff didn’t speak. He just nodded. They walked side by side to the garden in silence. It was just the two of them. The garden was calm. Jeff stood there, not knowing what to say or how to begin. Meeting her felt unreal. He had imagined it in his head a thousand times, but this wasn’t how he thought it would happen. Not today, not while grieving.Bella looked at the sky, then back at him. "You don’t need to say anything," she said. "I know today is not the right day. You just lost someone very dear to you. I don’t expe

    "The cancer cells had spread too far, and Mr. Lucas didn’t begin chemotherapy early enough despite our advice. Unfortunately, he is late now. I’m truly sorry, Ma’am, Sir," the doctor said, bowing slightly before walking away.Amaya stood frozen for a second, then suddenly burst out laughing. But it wasn’t from joy. It was painful. She covered her mouth, laughing through her tears."Did he just say… did that man just call my son ‘late’? Like, he's some kind of report card? Is he joking with me right now? Is he trying to push me over the edge?" she said, tears falling from her eyes. Her laughter turned into gasps of breath as she stumbled toward Grandpa Lu. She gripped the front of his shirt with trembling hands, her voice breaking."Please, Grandpa… please. If I’ve ever wronged you, punish me. Take it out on me, but don’t let this be true. Ask the doctor to bring my son back. Bring back Lucas. He was just here yesterday. He said goodnight to me, he ate my food, he kissed my cheek, and n

    Grandpa Lu and Bella sat quietly at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the endless view of the ocean. The breeze blew gently, lifting strands of Bella’s hair across her face. She didn’t bother to move them. The wind felt calming. After a long pause, she finally broke the silence."I love looking at the ocean. It reminds me that even when life is rough, there’s still beauty somewhere," she said softly. "My life hasn’t been perfect, not even close. Want to hear a bit about how I grew up? It was messy, a total rollercoaster."Grandpa Lu nodded slowly, giving her space to talk."I was the stubborn one, always getting into trouble. My mum, well, the woman who raised me, let me be wild. She loved me the only way she knew how. She worked hard. She wasn’t perfect, but she was always there for me. My biggest dream was to be in the army, but something always came up. I was told it wasn’t for girls like me." She laughed faintly, then tossed a small stone into the water, watching the ripples spread

    Jeff raised his head slowly from Grandpa Lu’s lap and let out a light laugh, trying to ease the tension he was starting to feel. "Come on, Grandpa. You’re not that good with jokes. Don’t worry, I can beg Angelie to allow you to spend some time with your great-grandkids. Meila and Keila are just adorable. They’ll melt your heart, I swear. They already charmed me completely. And I think I should just say it now, we’re expecting another baby. Yes, yes, it’s true. Angelie is pregnant."He smiled widely, expecting Grandpa Lu to join in the excitement, but his grandfather’s expression didn’t change."I’m not joking, son," Grandpa Lu said quietly. "Morris moved out because Amaya’s secret finally caught up with her. I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark. When I first found out, I couldn’t believe it either. That’s why I went ahead and did the DNA test. I’ve been doing a lot of that lately." He tried to give a small smile, but it faded. "It’s not my story to tell, but you deserve to know."He
