All day we waited anxiously for the DNA test results. Even though Axe and I had left, Mr. O'Connor still came back to us to take a blood sample. And this was the end, the results of the laboratory testing came out after 1 x 24 hours. Axe had insisted that the hospital speed up the DNA process immediately, so that he wouldn't have to wait so long. The man was really impatient to prove the truth of Mr. O'Connor's words who was currently looking smiling after reading the results."I told you, you're my son. Still don't believe me?"Mr. O'Connor thrust the paper he had opened at Axe until the man took it quickly. Axe's expression was unreadable as he looked intently at the writing on the paper, which I'm sure he still couldn't quite wrap his head around."Open the envelope, Bridgette," Axe commanded after realizing my preoccupation with the envelope that still perfectly encased the contents inside.I took a breath and let it out roughly. My hand moved to tear the corner to the right-left
I sighed heavily waiting for Axe not to speak since the end of our meeting with Mr. O'Connor in front of the lab. My father-in-law, now that I could call him that, had a sudden emergency call, though I was sure he still wasn't willing to leave Axe after making the man look like a lifeless statue."Speak up Axe. I won't understand your needs, if you keep quiet like this."I slowly ran my hand through his brown hair that was beginning to grow long and prickly. We were currently sitting in front of Edward's waiting room. Axe didn't move once he found a comfortable chair, even though I repeatedly invited him to enter Edward's hospital room. Perhaps Axe didn't want to add to the burden on Edward's mind, who had regained consciousness yesterday afternoon, although he was required to rest."Don't keep this up, Axe. Aren't you happy to know I'm not your sister?"I said that on purpose, even though it wasn't what made Axe's mind wander. But it was clear that my words had
Some people said, to make life colorful. It takes two elements, laughter and sorrow to complement the joy and pain. But for me, there is one element that is missing, love. Indeed, there is no perfect being in this world who still feels alive, even though the wound is offering itself at the forefront of a cause. However, for now, in Axe's life. Can they stand at the very back? I wanted that man, my husband, to be able to smile for just a moment since the unexpected truth was revealed. Moreover, yesterday, just making Axe promise, did not guarantee that he was ready to forget the reality to stop hurting temporarily. Throughout the day, Axe still daydreamed so much that he ignored me who kept talking to him, and at night, unlike usual-Axe didn't do his ritual at all, instead choosing to go straight to bed. Although I must admit that his hand was not left behind to continue hugging me.Still, I felt lacking. Axe I knew wasn't like this, so weak-no zest for life. Plus right
"Sure," I replied as quietly as possible for fear of waking Axe."We need space. I need a one-on-one talk with you," he continued to which I only responded with a hesitant shake.Axe had just fallen asleep and I didn't want to wake him up at all. The poor guy was exhausted, I was afraid the slightest movement would wake him up."Just here, Dad." Yesterday in Axe's presence, Mr. O'Connor had asked me to call him by that title, there was no way I could refuse-he was also my father now."Axe could wake up if I move," I continued carefully. Incidentally, Mr. O'Connor had also told me to stop being so formal with him by not speaking too reluctantly."This is important. Xelle must not know what I'm going to say." Mr. O'Connor gave his son a worried look before finally turning to me with an unreadable look."Axe is already fast asleep. I'm sure he won't be able to hear our conversation."My sentence ends with a long sigh from Mr. O'Connor, who then walks over to
I stared blankly at the hospital skyline. It was time to remove the chip embedded in my body. According to the examination, Axe planted the chip in my left arm until it was now fused with the lower skin.I'm still at the same hospital with Mr. O'Connor as my personal doctor. He was going to perform a minor surgery to remove the chip in my body. It was quite a thrill to think that my hand would be dissected, and then the tiny nano-sized object attached would be removed in some way. I don't understand such actions, only a doctor or an expert can describe how they do such things.And before that, I will be sedated first so as not to feel pain during the operation, not Mr. O'Connor who sedated me, but the anesthesiologist in this hospital. Just like Axe, Mr. O'Connor is also powerful, let alone just renting an operating room-buy this hospital even I think he can.I don't know if the anesthetic has been administered to my body or not, but now my eyes feel heavy-not sleepy, and slowly the
"I'm asking you, Bridgette," he repeated, this time with a sharp look at me. I don't know, it was only with that piercing gaze that I couldn't help myself and immediately took a step, ran a little, then hugged his body tightly once there was no distance separating us.Maybe I threw myself so hard that Axe's body jerked backward in his completely unprepared state, but I didn't care ... even without him returning my hug, at least until this moment I could touch his body."What's going on?" asked Axe, getting provoked by my strange behavior. However, I ignored his question, still too busy inhaling the scent of Axe's body that I might miss."Bridgette!" Axe stomped over to my body, keeping me away from him by holding both my arms tightly. Unfortunately, it had enough of an effect on the part I'd been warning him about that I unconsciously let out a squeal.Axe's eyes bulge in surprise, then he spontaneously releases me who is still focused on the pain in my left arm
"Why quiet, Bridgette? You look sad, don't you want to carry my child?" Axe asked after I didn't respond for a long time. Of course he was still waiting for me to forget his original intention of touching me.Seeing Axe's changing facial expression, I quickly shook my head and forced a warm smile at him."I want to, but not now. I'm not ready yet.""Why?""I can't even take Oracle's attention, Axe. I'm sure you still remember Oracle's rejection had a bad effect on me."There was a sigh from the man who was still on top of me with a pitiful smile on his face. "Fine," Axe said amidst a flurry of warm caresses of my face."I'll wait until you're ready," he continued, then unexpectedly kissed my lips briefly and ended up crushing them roughly. Axe's hand moved to open the hoodie I was wearing, but luckily I quickly realized and immediately held his hand back."Why?" The same word came back from Axe's lips. In the last few minutes, how many times had he asked me that question?Axe clucked
"Thank you, Hem," I said as I smiled warmly at Mr. O'Connor's subordinate, Hema, who was in charge of driving me here. Earlier, before we got here, I had asked him to accompany me to shop for some essentials. Obviously I needed a change of clothes and an evening snack, my stomach had been very hungry since the two or three hour journey. Not to forget, I bought a new cell phone for other needs. Really, it felt bad to use the platinum card Mr. O'Connor had given me, but I had no other choice. Later, after I get a job here, I'll reimburse him for all the money I've used."With my pleasure, Miss. Everything has been prepared, you just need to rest, hope you feel at home here," Hema replied kindly as he unbuckled his seatbelt. I knew what he was going to do."No need, Hem. I can do it myself," I said quickly before Hema could do it.I casually opened the car door and carried my body out onto the perfectly cut grass. My breath came in ragged gasps as I noticed the cl
