The Love That Passed 51- Regret
Third Person's POV The citizens have been furious about the news. There were a few who were still favoring Derrick, but most of them were angry at him. They were mad at how he treated his wife, especially when they found out that he was with another woman on their anniversary. Senator Dean first welcomed him as he arrived home. He was furious to see how much his daughter cried because of the news. "How dare you hurt my precious daughter!" Sen. Dean shouted after. "Dad!" Mia exclaimed, shocked to see her sensible father hitting and shouting at someone. She knew her father to be calm and cool. "I am very sorry, my princess. I don't know what comes to mind when I let you marry him. I thought he was nice and sincere to him. It is all my fault," Sen. Dean told Mia. "Everything on the news is not true," Derrick said, trying to gain his trust again. "You can tell that to anyone who will believe in you, but not to me. You better get out of my sight now before I forget that my daughter st
The Love That Passed 52- Good night's sleep
Colleen's POV After we had our lunch, I told mom that I wouldn't be able to stick around because I wanted to rest. I am going to have a check-up tomorrow, and I want to be ready physically and emotionally. I stayed in my room and, from time to time, I looked at the television not too far from our bed. Because I was so curious, I turned it on and watched the news. It was really all over the news. I still can't believe it. I wonder how Jared would react to this. Or maybe he already knew about it. Did he feel hurt? I guess not. The way he talked to me before lunch was good, and I don't sense any kind of jealousy in his voice. I turned off the TV and decided to rest. I want to be healthy for tomorrow because I don't want to cause my baby any trouble. The sound of my phone ringing wakes me up from my nap. I didn't notice that I had slept already. I took my phone, and I smiled after I saw Jared's name. "Hello," I answered. Maybe my voice was a little husky from my sleep. "I'm sorry I wok
The Love That Passed 53- What was that about?
Jared's POV "The baby is fine," Dr. Chin, Colleen's OB Gyne, said after her checkup. She underwent a lot of lab tests, and Dr. Chin was satisfied with the results. "Make sure to take care of yourself all the time; your pregnancy is complicated, and you know that, right?" "Yes," she replied, and I nodded. I looked at Colleen's happy face, and I couldn't help but get influenced by her. I admire her for being a brave and positive thinker despite the fact that she's going to die. With that thought, I couldn't help but feel sad again. "Hubby, are you alright?" she asked, and I smiled at her. Dr. Chin was looking at me as well as warning me not to make my wife feel upset. "Yes, I was just thinking about if we could buy our baby's clothes already," I replied, scratching the back of my head. Colleen laughed, and so did her doctor. "Mr. McLahlin must be really excited," Dr. Chin commented, and I nodded. "Very, I couldn't wait to see our baby that looks like my wife," I said. "I want her t
The Love That Passed 54- Love Deeper
Third Person's POV "Is it?" Colleen asked again. After Jared left the room, she looked at Dr. Gerard and asked him about her concern. She was shy about it, but she really wanted to know because she wanted to at least please her husband. "Well, I didn't expect that you would be asking me that. I mean, you're married, so it is fine if you are worried about that matter. But, I think Jared will never force you to do that," Dr. Gerard said. "Exactly. That's why I'm asking you so that I can offer it to him. I mean, I wanted to, you know, make him feel that he had a wife," she replied shyly. "Colleen, Jared knows about your condition, and I'm sure that if you are about to be intimate with him, he will worry about you." "That's why I want to know if it would be fine if we did it again. I mean, he was gentle when we first, you know, uhm," she said with her head down, as she couldn't look at Dr. Gerard. "Alright, you can, but with caution," Dr. Gerard replied. He was really shocked to hear
The Love That Passed 55- Worried
Colleen's POV Jared is still sleeping, and I feel happy about doing something for him. It saddens me to think I won't be able to stay with him for a long time, but I can't just choose my life over my child. Last night was fantastic, although I know that what we did was nothing compared to what other couples do. I can only do it once, even though I still feel how much I want him. I can't take care of him as a dutiful wife anymore. Everything that I promised myself to do for him is now a promise that has been broken. I couldn't give him a wife who was there for all his needs. Instead, I was a burden that he was already carrying. I heaved a deep sigh after that realization. "That's too deep," Jared said, opening his eyes. I was startled, and I didn't know how long he had been awake. "What is it?" he asked, and I didn't know how I would answer him. He faced me and capped my face with his hand as he caressed my cheek with his thumb. "Last night was great. If you are thinking that you're
The Love That Passed 56-Good distraction
Jared's POV I don't think bringing Colleen into my office is a good idea. She was seated on the couch in the receiving area of my office, scrolling on her cellphone, and here I am, watching her. After lunch, I didn't want to leave her still, so I decided to take her with me after she made sure that she was feeling fine. My wife is very simple. I want to think that it was because of her condition, but I had a feeling that it was because of what she and her family had been through. Her parents' separation scares and hurts her, and she feels a sense of abandonment when none of them take her after. Despite that fact, she grew up to be a very sensible, kind, and good person. What's lacking in her is not a hindrance to doing what she wants to do. Although they were all simple things as well, "You're not going to finish what you need to finish if you keep on staring at me like that." I heard her say something that made me smile at her. She was not looking at me and was still scrolling th
The Love That Passed 57- I love everything about her
Jared's POV Stacey is never gonna stop and even include me in their mess. My phone vibrated in my pocket so I took it and found her name calling. I answered it with my eyes not leaving the reporters and holding Colleen. I was worried that she'd run away soI should hold onto her. "Hello," I said, then put her on speaker phone and let the reporters hear what she had to say. "Thank God you answered, I need a favor. Can you tell the reporters that we are dating and had a plan to get married already? I didn't want the reporters to know about Derrick and I, my dad's going to kill me if he found out." She said worriedly then I look at the reporter as I ended our call and said, "She's been my wife for more than two years now. My one and only wife and no one else." They took Colleen's photo so I covered her with my body as I led her to the parking lot. The security came and stopped them from following us. "I'm sorry for that. I should have taken care of them head on. I just did not expect
The Love That Passed 58- He's crying!
Colleen's POV It was clear that Jared was behind that scandal, and that worries me. With everything on the news, it appeared that Derrick was not good at all. Many adore and admire him for being a kind and loving person. He was always in the news about his charity events, along with his wife, Mia. She is Senator Dean's daughter, who was known for being a humanitarian. Both father and daughter were loved by many, and everyone looked up to them. That must be the reason why Derrick approached her. I remember that they got married before the election, and everyone was moved, including me, that he prioritized his wedding over the campaign itself. Now that we get to know the real him, I feel sorry for those who almost worship and fight for him. He was a fraud, and no matter how much he denied it, the truth was screaming to the people that he was not what we thought he was. It had been a month since that incident, and it was still a hot topic on the news and on social media. The government
