140. Surrender

Louise Rose.I sat down, and Dr. Lou looked very serious. I haven't seen Rosy—not yet. The food and treats are still inside the paper bags with me.“Look, Louise. I know it’s been some time, and if you’ve noticed, Rosy’s condition is worsening each day.” He paused and glanced at me with a worried expression."Yes, I noticed that. I've been meaning to talk to you, but I've been held up with many things, including my business. Every time I visit, you're either not here or busy with your patients.""Yes, I'm sorry about that. But this time, I could no longer ignore the symptoms, and—"He paused again when my phone suddenly rang. I hadn't muted it."Oh, sorry." I pulled it out of my side pocket and swiped the screen. It was Rosy."Uhm, it's just Rosy. Just hang on for a second, Dr. Lou." I stood up and whirled halfway."Yes, Rosy. I'm already here at the clinic. I'm talking to Dr. Lou. It won't be long, and I will be there. I'll see you in a minute," I said, ending the call.Dr. Lou clear

141. Disaster

Hendrix."It's good to see you again, Rosy." I gave her a tight hug and kissed her forehead.She gazed at me faintly, smiling. Her hands felt cold, and she was growing thinner each day. I felt anxious. To me, she didn't seem well, yet I recognized her strong fight for Louise.Last night was calm with Louise. We had a good time together. We never talked about the issues and just set them aside. We kissed, cuddled, and made love. It was solemn and peaceful. Although it does not solve the problem, I think it's probably better that way.I have too much on my plate at the moment, and I'm sorting out my business with Stephanie. I'm doing things one at a time, and I know Louise understands that."Hendrix…" Rosy weakly uttered my name, and I sat down beside her."How are you feeling, Rosy?" My jaw tightened. I knew she was not feeling well. I had a quick chat with Dr. Lou before I proceeded to her unit.The treatment was still ongoing. We are on our second radiation session now, and there ar

142. Proud

Louise Rose.I stopped by the flower stall near Hendrix’s office building, and rather than waiting for him, I opted to head to his office instead.The interior of the building is impressive. It features a unique atmosphere, and the entrance boasts a tall ceiling adorned with a large, sparkling chandelier.There was no reception. Instead, there was information displayed on the large screen indicating which floor to visit. On the opposite side of the hallway leading to the lifts, you’ll find a small café alongside a flower stall.I smiled upon seeing it, and the two ladies attending smiled back. They were taking orders from two customers waiting nearby.Hendrix is clever, and I’m very proud of my man.Last night, we didn’t talk about Stephanie and the newly released articles. I felt jealous, but I knew how to manage my jealousy. I trust him and will wait for his explanation.The elevator arrives at the top floor, the fifty-ninth. I exit and am greeted by the company’s prominent logo ad

Louise Rose.I cautiously glance to the side while listening to Hendrix speak on the phone with Stephanie.After dinner, we settled back at his place, giving me enough time to relax. I'm all relaxed, alright. I had my shower thirty minutes ago and checked on Rosy at the care clinic. Everything is going well with her, and I'm glad she's okay. I was a little worried when I saw her this morning. She doesn't seem well."I told you I'm not negotiating anything from you anymore, Steph." Hendrix's voice rose in octavo."Dammit! This is why we can't talk in person. This is why I can't see you!' He ran his hand through his hair in frustration and lifted his head."Fucking hell! Don't you dare tell me what to do, Steph! It's not about myself anymore, and not about Louise. Stay her out of this!"My body jerked when I heard the surprising kick he made on the chair inside the room. I fiddle my fingernails on my lips while listening, and my heart is pumping hard inside me.Hendrix is furious. Step

Louise Rose.Although I shouldn't visit her today, I plan to surprise Rosy since my calendar is free. I feel truly blessed in many ways despite the conflicts within Hendrix's family.Hendrix's mother hates me, and Stephanie is making all the moves she can to hold Hendrix by the neck.My partner is facing financial losses, and I feel accountable for it. I want to assist him, but I'm unsure of how to proceed. I believe the most significant support I can offer is simply being there for him, regardless of the circumstances.I love him, honestly. Our start wasn't perfect, as it was pretentious, but look at where we are now. It's been the past six months, and we are running seven and still firmly in love with each other.I felt nervous as I entered the care clinic. Nadia, the head nurse, looked surprised when she saw me."I did not expect a visit from you today." Her brows wiggled, and I laughed. "Does your Aunt Rosy know you are coming?""No. She did not. I want to surprise her. I have so

Louise Rose.I'm so furious right now. I feel so betrayed. Of all the people, why Hendrix? Why. . .I went back to Rosy and attended to all her needs. I never asked her anything about her condition. I had enough of what Dr. Lou said earlier. I just need to give myself some time to settle down so that I can think again."Louise, my dear, please don't be upset with me or Dr. Lou. It's not his fault. He was simply following my instructions... I want this because I don't want you to fret too much… I apologize for keeping this from you." Rosy's voice was faint and tired. I could only embrace her. My heart shatters as I feel lost about what to do next. It's nighttime already. I helped Rosy shower and eat dinner, and now I am tucking her for bedtime. I turned off my phone after I talked to Dr. Lou. I don't want to talk to anyone, especially to Hendrix. I'm not in the mood for any conversation about Rosy's health.I could only smile softly as I stroked her cheek. I know she's tired. Today

Hendrix.I combed my hair using my fingers in exasperation. It's been a week since Louise last spoke to me. She keeps ignoring me as if I don't exist. I can't get too close to her because she doesn't want me around."I acknowledge it's my fault, and I'm doing everything for her to understand the situation, Xav. It's driving me crazy. I can't concentrate and haven't slept at all. I want to talk to her, but she has blocked me."Xavion chuckled a little."This isn’t funny, Xavion," I said through clenched teeth."Give her time, Hendrix. She will calm down and entertain you again. Right now, her focus is on Rosy. Let her be. Consider the pain she's experiencing now. She's also afraid of losing Rosy."I sighed, trying to grasp the air around me.Rosy is not feeling well.After chemotherapy, she developed complications and is currently in the ICU for heart monitoring. I visited her earlier to ensure she was being looked after by the nurses and specialists.I nodded, trying to tease the ten

147. Bucket list

Louise Rose.Looking at Rosy and Hendrix made me smile. I can't help it. Rosy was laughing hard at Hendrix's not-so-funny jokes.Is the old lady enjoying this, or is she just swooning over how handsome Hendrix is? Not to mention, his jokes are not funny to me.I rested my chin on the back of my hand while chewing my drink.The only downside of this drink-and-food combo is the bubbles themselves. I'm not a fan of tacos. I don't like the chewy bubbles in them and prefer the rice version instead. However, that's okay. I know that Hendrix bought this for Rosy and not for me."What do you think, Rosy? Do you think you can join us?" Hendrix glances at me and back at Rosy.My forehead creased. What is he up to now? I had no idea what they were talking about earlier, as I did not listen to them. I was scrolling through my phone, checking my social media. There was nothing on my news feed except for Hendrix and his rumored secret girlfriend.I read the first paragraph but did not continue rea

148. Care

Hendrix."My mother?" she chuckled. "Are you serious? That’s on Rosy’s bucket list?" She shook her head and walked away.I followed her."Louise, listen. I know it's difficult for you. I understand you haven't seen her since then, but this is - ""I don't need her." She looks back at me, holding back her emotions. I can see it in her eyes. I know it isn't easy for her. It’s hard. I understand the feeling.We stared, wavering."I don't want to see her, Hendrix. I don't need her. She never came back for me. She abandoned me and never once looked for me. She doesn't want me, Hendrix."The disappointment and the hurt she felt are unexplainable. I know this is going to be tough, but I have to try, at least for Rosy's sake."You don't have to meet her if you don't want to, Louise. I understand how you feel, darling." I embraced her from behind. She was ready to walk away, and I was just following her in all directions."Rosy is my mother. No one else."I let go of her, and she whirls her b

Louise Rose.I'm happy looking at Rosy, combing her hair independently.It's been a week, and she's getting a lot better than she was a week ago. The skin on her face glows and is full of life now. She has no more hair, but her wig seems natural. She laughs at the silly jokes of the nurses around and tries to say her joke to them, too. She's lively, and it's good to see that from her.Hendrix and I are okay. We have a plan, and we're looking forward to it after Rosy is discharged. Shella is now managing the flower shop. She's doing great at it and gives me a report every weekend. Hendrix's workers, too, are good and keep the business going.I couldn't imagine my life without him. I realized how much I love him and put aside my pride when it came to finding my mother.I understand what Rosy wants to happen. She trusted Hendrix, and I respect that. She knew that if she will ask me to do things against my will it can never be done.I also noticed the changes around me. Hendrix mother vis
