Angela leaned back into the pillow, squeezing her eyes shut because she felt sick, yet she said to her daughter, “Don’t make it a big deal. You know I’m not going to survive this,”
“I don’t want to hear that,” Kim replied, getting up to her feet to get rid of the bowl.
Once in the washroom, Kim stared at her reflection in the mirror – she was a shadow of herself. She felt sick to the stomach and there were noticeable bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. Even when she hadn’t been taking care of Angela, she couldn’t sleep comfortably; the thought of her mother dying soon gave her sleepless nights.
“Oh God,” She groaned, running her hand through her hair, ruffling it. Her head filled with thoughts felt like it was exploding and she was goddamn tired. This must be fate fuckimg with her for what she did to Maria. Yeah, she’s fucked up.
After catching her breath in the washroom, she came out to see her mother resting. Their eyes met yet none of them said anything, keeping their thoughts to themselves.
It was at that moment when Kim wanted to catch her own rest that it clicked in her head, the room was too quiet which means….
“Where’s Tommy?” Dread filled her as she began to search the room frantically, “Where’s my son?” She almost went crazy with worry.
“I don’t think he’s in here. He must have slipped out when we were discussing,” Angela pointed out in a weak tone.
Kim decided to search outside and rushed to open the door only for it to open revealing her son.
“Mommy!”
“ThankGod!” Kim hunched down and pulled him into her arms, relieved. She would not live if something happened to him too.
She broke away from him, “Don’t try this again!” Kim rebuked him, hugging him once more before discovering they were not alone.
They must have been the one who found him, Kim surmised and glanced up to thank her savors only to stiffen.
No way.
The third point of view:
Reina honestly didn’t want to do this, but she had no choice. After all, she had promised Niles?- Sakuzis’ never go back on their words.
“It’s just a visit,” Niles reminded her as he drove. It was almost as if Reina was preparing for battle with the way she clenched her fist and looked on ahead with determination.
“I know,” She replied, finally taking her eyes off the road and focusing on him. The discussion with her father had gone the way she thought it would be – the man confessed to everything.
It was her fault anyway, she had been the one who chased them out of the wedding. Knowing how pissed she was with her family, Sakuzi had attempted to reconcile them during the wedding – but then she was too stubborn. Well, what was he expecting? That she welcomes them with open arms and then, they’re good again and live happily ever after? Nope, that was a faraway dream.
Well, Reina has to see her, that’s all that matters. They would probably talk, and Angela would ask for forgiveness and blah, blah, and -thankGod- she would be on her way home again.
The car suddenly jostled to a halt, rousing Reina from her thoughts, only for a look of shock to cross her face when she realized what almost happened.
Niles was just about to park his car in the hospital open-spaced garage when a figure darted out and would have hit him had he not braked on time.
“What the hell?!” Reina saw red, stepping out of the car to go give that idiot a piece of her mind only to stumble upon a child. He looked no fewer than four or five years and her heart instantly melted – she was a huge sucker for children.
“What are you doing here? You almost got yourself killed,” she told the kid who was sprawled on the floor. He must have been shocked himself.
“Here, let me help you,” she gave him a hand which the kid took and got up to his feet. Pulling him out of the way, Reina gestured to her husband to go on with the packing.
Once he was done, Niles stepped out of the car with a disapproving look. That kid was trouble, look what almost happened. Moreover, he wanted his wife away from the kid, why?
What if the kid turns out to be an orphan, he was a hundred percent sure his ever-loving wife would attempt to add him to the family and he knew inwardly, he wouldn’t be able to refuse her.
When he had told Reina he wanted six children, he didn’t mean fostering or adopting them, he meant their own – making babies was sweet.
“We should go, we have important things to do,” He said disgruntled, still eyeing the kid. In fact with the way?Niles was glaring at him, the boy was becoming uncomfortable.
“Angela is not important, you know I’m just visiting for your sake. Also, I can’t leave this child here all alone, that would be inconsiderate,” she quickly added, “And I’m not saying you’re without conscience,” she patted him on the head and Niles melted like Jelly.
“Fine,” He gave in after she captivated him as usual. And no, he wasn’t a henpecked husband, he just loved Reina too much he indulged her in whatever she wanted.
“Where’s your mother?”
“There,” the child pointed to the hospital.
“You know the way?”
He nodded.
Reina was grateful the child could speak well. At the least, he was able to identify where he came from, and which means he often came here.
She began to wonder what could bring a child here since he didn’t look sick. Could it be his mother or something? Well, that was none of her business, once she delivers the child, she would leave to go sort out her own problems.
“Alright, let’s go,” Reina took the child’s hands, which was a mistake because Niles frowned down at the move.
“Oh, come on,” Reina rolled her eyes, took his hand as well, and dragged him along.
However, as they walked on, she had a sudden suspicion as the kid led them to his supposed mom’s room. He was going the exact way the receptionist had directed them to Angela’s room. It just didn’t make sense. Kim was not married or was she?
However, everything finally made sense when the door finally opened, and her sister, scratch that, her ex half-sister, Kimberly, swooped down on the kid and hugged him.
“Don’t try that again!” Reina watched her scold her kid and as if she finally sensed her kid hadn’t come alone, Kim finally glanced up and froze.
They meet once again.
“Maria…” Kim didn’t know when that name escaped her lips. She was so shocked at seeing her – she never expected her to come.
A frown distorted Reina’s face upon hearing that name. Did they still think she was that old submissive Maria?
With her head held up, Reina said to her, “You shouldn’t have gone for a kid if you know you couldn’t handle the workload that comes with it?”
