Chapter Twenty One
I had woken up now, what was I to do? I needed to figure out just how much time had passed since I have been laying here. I don't think much time has passed because everyone looks the same but if I was going to move forward, I needed to know what had happened exactly.I heard Mrs. Robinson tell Liam and one other person whom I couldn't recognize that they should get a doctor for me. I noticed the other man had been staring at me with fierce intensity for quite some time now. Frankly speaking, it was making me uncomfortable. Even though I wanted to say something in objection, my throat was parched beyond imagination so I couldn't exactly use my voice at the moment. But from what I could decipher from his gaze, he was looking at me with a mixture of longing and regret. His gaze made me suddenly curious, who was he? And why was he looking at me in such a way? I wanted answers but I guess I was going to have to wait. "What is this? You suddenly grow a backbone the moment you start to

Chapter Twenty Two
I was still trying to decipher what exactly was going on and what was causing the current chaos that was about to break out in this room. If I didn't know who this man was, the least they could do was just to tell me who he was right?Why were they acting this way? They were making me feel bad and scared. Was he important to my life? If yes, who was he and what part was he playing in my life to make the others react this way?Liam had left the room a while ago to go get the doctor just like Papa Robinson had requested. The others in the room, which included Emily, Mr, and Mrs. Robinson, and also the stranger, were all looking back and forth with each other.It was almost like they were having a silent conversation with one another, a conversation which I was not part of. "What's going on? Is something wrong? Did I do something wrong?" I decided to break the uncomfortable silence and get to the bottom of this whole issue myself. "No Kate, nothing is wrong, everything is all good. We'

Chapter Twenty Three
Jake looked unsettled, his eyes kept darting back and forth at Ethan's face. He needed to be calmed down but who was going to calm him down? "Have you told her?" He demanded again from Ethan. "What are you going on about again this time? Are you high or something? Did your drug supplier change your dosage?" Ethan asked Jake, I felt like he was taunting Jake now. He wasn't showing concern for him anymore, he was taunting him, but why? Did they have some kind of feud between themselves?"You asshole!!" Jake yelled at Ethan and I saw that he was trying very hard to keep a lid on his anger. "What do you want Jake? Haven't you caused us enough trouble as it is?" Ethan calmly asked again. I guess I was right when I guessed just now that they have bad blood between them. But what exactly was Jake talking about? "I haven't even done anything yet Ethan, I haven't done nothing yet, you just wait till I'm done with you. You haven't seen the last of me Ethan." Jake seethed further in his fa

Chapter Twenty Four
"You want a divorce?" Ethan asked me again dumbly. "I'm sure I didn't stutter the first and second time I mentioned it." I snapped at him."Why darling? Why a divorce so suddenly?" Mrs. Robinson asked me this."He could have killed me ma! I refuse to remain in such an abusive relationship, I don't know why you're so different from Liam or what made you different but there's evil in you and I can feel it. I don't want to be anywhere near that." I told him my truth.Why would I want to stay with him anyways? I had been surrounded by people who didn't care for me for most of my life, I had always imagined what kind of man I would marry. I made a promise to myself that I would only marry someone whom I loved and who also loved me back. I owed that to myself at least, but after what I just saw with Ethan, I discovered I had been mistaken. There was no trace of love in Ethan and I wasn't ready to settle with that. "But I've apologized to you, Kate. I've been putting myself through torme

Chapter Twenty Five
The whole family was in chaos. We didn't know what to do better still, whom to tend to first. Liam had just told us Ethan had been in an accident and it was the same time Emily's water had broken. Was it supposed to be today or was it the shock of Ethan's news that made her water break? I guess I wouldn't know because the baby was coming either way. Liam seemed to be frozen as he didn't know what to do, he just stood there, staring at the puddle by Emily's feet, unmoving, he just stood and stared, he was obviously frozen but he would soon be snapped out of his reverie when Emily let out a pained grunt and slapped him right in the face. You heard me right, Emily slapped him. It was such a comical sight and I would have laughed, save for the situation at hand. It was expected for Liam to react this way, it was their first child after all. "Liam, pull yourself together right now. Your wife needs you and so does your brother." His mum came into his front and tapped on his cheeks light

Chapter Twenty Six
After the doctor had gone back into the operating room, there was still some argument about who was going to donate blood for Ethan. I didn't mind whosoever blood it was, as long as Ethan got it and it was able to make him safe. His mum, on the other hand, was hellbent on the fact that Lucy was not going to donate even a single drop of blood to Ethan, even after the doctor had given her clear instructions on what should be done, she still disagreed with the nurse. I knew she was only looking out for her son but time was fast-moving, if she didn't allow these people to do their jobs, there would be no son for her to look after. After having this revelation in my head, I discovered it was up to me to do something that would help the matter at hand. "Ma!" I called out to her and sat her down in the chair in the waiting area, "I don't know or probably know and just don't remember what she has done to you and the family, but please, Let us try and save Ethan first. I believe that should

Chapter Twenty Seven
"Ethan! How're you feeling baby?" His mum asked him the moment she was by his side, I could tell she wanted to hug him but she didn't want to hurt him as she didn't know where and how exactly to hug him. So she just settled for standing by his side with her hands on his shoulders. "I'm fine ma." He answered looking up to her, his voice was very hoarse and dry. "Can I see my baby niece or nephew now?" He asked turning to Emily. Emily just smiled and walked towards him with the baby in her arms. "It's your baby niece," she started and positioned herself in a way that he could see her face without having to sit up or anything. "Have you decided on a name yet?" I turned to them and asked. "We have actually," Liam answered my question and everyone was piqued up with interest, curious to hear from the new parents what they decided on."Her name is Aurora Robinson," Emily responded.Aurora, it was such a beautiful name and I saw everyone give approving nods around the room. "Hey bro,"

Chapter Twenty Eight
The nurse had asked me again to be sure that I knew what I wanted and I was sure. I wanted to see Ethan and I wanted to see him right now. The nurse knew better than to argue with me, so she only nodded and helped me sit up. "Will you be able to stand ma'am?" She asked, taking note of my legs which looked frail and very wobbly. "Yes, I'm sure I'll manage on my own," I told her and she nodded her head before walking to the room's entrance to get me some slippers. I wondered why no one was in the room with me. I wasn't angry or anything like that, I just wished someone would have stayed with me in the room, but then again, who could? Liam couldn't leave his wife and their new daughter to come and attend to me neither could Ethan's parents leave their temporarily paralyzed son just to come and attend to me. This is where family distinctions came in, this was where my family was supposed to be, supporting me and staying by my side but it was obvious I didn't have any family, at least

Chapter Twenty Nine
I was expecting this reaction from the whole family. When I woke up and I knew that I remembered everything, I knew it was time to make some difficult decisions and I felt like it was up to me to help Ethan and the rest of the family make these decisions. If it was left to them, they would spend the rest of their lives loathing Lucy for what she had done to Ethan, but when I spoke to Lucy, back when we were about to be tested for the blood transfusion Ethan would be needed when I spoke to her then, I felt nothing but remorse from her. She knew what she had done was wrong and she regretted it, I also knew I was taking a huge risk by trusting her but my mind just told me to believe her, she regretted, deeply what she had done to Ethan and all she wanted now was to earn his forgiveness and the forgiveness of the entire family of course. And I understood, more than anyone else, what she was trying to do. The truth was that Ethan and I could try all we wanted but the truth of the matter

Chapter Thirty
I watched as Ethan tried to lift the dumbbell off the floor again and he failed to do so. It was quite funny and sad to watch at the same time, it was funny because he would make these weird facial expressions whenever he wanted to do so, lift them I mean.And it was sad to watch because he was carrying the smallest size of the weights. Even though I could lift them with little to no stress, Ethan was frustrated that this simple task was proving to be difficult for him. It was bound to be like that anyways, his cast had just come off some two weeks ago, so he was just regaining control of his arms and legs, he couldn't start his physiotherapy until the casts had come off. When we were leaving the hospital, the doctors had opted for him to use a wheelchair as an avenue for him to be able to move around without any issues.Ethan had freaked out and flat-out refused when he had first heard about it, his words were that he didn't want to be confined to a wheelchair.It was after much em
