Semua Bab The Alpha's Regret; Too Late To Claim Me: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Veldana’s POVI had woken up earlier than Leila, so I decided to take a walk in the hospital’s garden to clear my head.I walked for a while then I saw a chair in the garden, I got close to the chair and sat down. The morning sky looked so beautiful, I stared at the sky for a while. I sat for a while when I saw this elderly woman, walking to me in the hospital gown. She came closer,“Is this seat taken?” She asked, pointing at the space close to me.“No, you can sit down.” I replied, exhausted.She proceeded to sit down, “The sky is beautiful today don’t you think?” She asked meHonestly I wasn’t in any conversation but I responded to her politely, “yes ma, it is beautiful.”“Why do you bother yourself with a lot of things child?” She asked.“I don’t understand.” I said looking confused, what does she mean by that.“Sometimes you should just place these things in the hands of the goddess instead of worrying about them.” She took her eyes away from my face.I was still confused but sh

VELDENA’S POVEarlier that morning Freya had left, she had passed the night at the hospital with Leila and I. But she left early that morning because she had some work to take care of. I really love the way Freya loved Leila and I. She always tried her best to make life easier for me, she was honestly the sister I wished I had.The plan for the day was to take care of Leila’s need for the morning, whilst the nurses took care for the rest of the day. I was also going to deposit the 300k core credits I had managed to gather due to my effort and Freya’s help.Afterwards I’d go to the studio to join Freya, and since I no longer had my cleaning job I would focus more on my singing career.Leila was still asleep when I saw Freya off to the car, when I got back I just sat on the couch scrolling aimlessly on my phone then I came across a post of Hailey.‘‘Singer Hailey’s Album Glass Skies is officially #1 on the charts right now’’ The post was accompanied with a picture of the album cover a

Author’s POVVeldena got to the studio with the pack of food, Freya was busy handling the gig schedule. She set the food on the table in the sitting area of the studio, “Come and eat,” Veldena called Freya.Freya had been busy since Veldena got into the studio, she had not even raised her head, so she did not see that she was limping.“Hold on,” She said, talking to Veldana. She was fully accessing her now. “Walk first.”“Ohhh, that.” Veldena said.“Yes, that. What happened to you?” Freya asked, sitting on the floor in front of the meal.“Maurice happened,” Vel responded.“Again?” “Yes, again.” She said painfully as she tried to squat on the floor to sit down also.“Do you want to talk about it?” Freya asked, shoving a spoon full of rice into her mouth.“No, there’s no need. Or rather it is pointless.” Vel said. “Talking about it won’t change the fact that he almost broke my leg.”“I did not say it’d change it, it’d ease the weight of you carrying a heavy load on your chest.” She re

Veldena’s POVI made sure Leila was deep in her sleep when I left the hospital to go home.I got home very late in the night, had my bath and made a cup of coffee. Rather than lying on the bed to sleep, I sat on the tiny couch in the one room apartment.I had just my nightwear on, I stared around the poorly lit room for a while. The light bulb kept flickering on and off but I did not care about that, before Leila fully got admitted into the hospital her laughter and her voice used to bring the room to life.But now, it feels like nobody lives in it even on the days when I am here. I took a sip from the cup of coffee in my hand then I placed it on the table.I picked my phone up and saw that I got a pending message from Freya; “Hi hi Vel, I just got back from the dinner date with Fred .” “How was it?” I responded immediately.“It was fine,” She replied.I read the message and then she started typing again, “Fred asked me to give you chocolate.”Chocolate for what? I thought. “Why?” I

Veldena’s POV“Yayy, I’ll have my surgery soon and I’ll be able to go back to school.” Leila said when I finally gave her the good news the next day.“Yes, baby.” I said caressing her hair.The three weeks had gone by swiftly, with us preparing her for surgery. She was in and out of the ER and labs for most of those days. They had to be sure her body was ready for it.I spent most of those days in hospital, I did not leave her side at all for once. I had not even gone for any gig, she was the main reason I was working and that was not there anymore. So I just stayed with her, I would resume back after the surgery. I had enough money now for the aftercare. We had two days left until the surgery now, “mummy, I want my drawing book to be with me when I go for the surgery.” Leila had said“Sure,” I responded back as we both laid cramped up on the tiny hospital bed.“Mummy?” She called.“Yes love, what do you need?” I was still caressing her head.“You remember the friend I told you I ma
