Vivienne's POV

    Vivienne's POV I lifted my head slowly. His eyes were red. And for the first time, I realized how tired my brother looked.Not tired from work or lack of sleep.But I'm tired from being hurt. From feeling pushed aside and losing something important without ever being given the chance to help.My chest immediately felt tight. It had been a long time since I'd seen Dominic like this.For years, he'd always been the strong one. The one who stood at the forefront when our family faced problems. The one who always seemed calm even when everything was falling apart. But now, that peace is gone.All that remained was an older sibling trying to understand why his younger sibling chose to shoulder everything alone."I didn't mean it," I said quietly."Then what do you mean?"I fell silent.Because I didn't know how to explain it.How could I explain that at first I just didn't w

    Vivienne's POV I stared out the window.The afternoon sky outside was sunny. The sun light bounced off the sea seen in the far, making a pretty calming shine.But somehow, the room felt much more silent than it did in the last few days. Julian and Maximilian had just gone a few hours ago.It was just for a few hours. Yet, it seemed like many days. I gave a small smile, moving my head side to side.Maybe I had just become too used to seeing them after the surgery.Every time I opened my eyes, Maximilian was sitting by a bed, chatting about little things.Each time I woke up at night Julian would quickly ask if I felt ill, queasy or needed something.Sometimes I'd get annoyed by their over-concern.But now, when the room was calm again with just the sound of an air cooler and nurses footfalls in the hallway.I missed Maximilian's voice, the way Jude said my name, and the warmth they brought in this r

    Julian's POV I let him pull me along.We went into his room, still full of playthings and study books.He proudly pointed at his desk."I cleaned it."I smiled."Good job.""I'm ready for school too.""That's even better."Pride lit up his face at the praise.Seeing him like this eased the weight in my chest.At least one thing in my life still felt simple.Being Maximilian's father.Standing in the center of his room my thoughts floated back to the master bedroom.An idea I had pus͏hed away for a long time became hard to miss. A sorry would not mend this.Something much bigger needed to be faced.I looked out the bedroom window.The afternoon sky was beginning to change color.For a reason, it seemed like my life was stuck at the same crossroad.I gently ruffled Maximilian's hair.It was still a bit messy aft

    Julian's POVThe color just disappeared from her face. She looked speechless.I stood there feeling really tired.A question came to my mind. Did I still recognize the woman standing in front of me?I rubbed my face slowly. The room felt all of a sudden. The smell of alcohol was making my headache worse.After being in the hospital for days with all the beeping machines and the smell of disinfectant coming to this was like a slap in the face.Ophelia was sitting on the edge of the bed. Her face looked really worn out. Her hair was a mess. Her eyes were red from crying and not sleeping.I did not feel sorry for her. I just felt tired. A deep tiredness that made me not even want to be angry."What are you doing in my house?" I finally asked her.Ophelia blinked a few times."I-""I am asking what you are doing here." My voice was not loud. It sounded cold."I have a k
