When Vanessa woke up in bed, she noticed Lisa and Cia sitting beside her. She looked at them and they both had cold looks on their faces.She felt uncomfortable. Vanessa tried to remember what happened to put her in a sick bed in the hospital. She was sharp to recall the issue of her grandmother and doctor Allen announcing the death of her grandmother to her.Vanessa was still in shock, even when she woke up, she didn't say anything to her friends. They were looking after her, worried about her health."You are awake" Lisa was the first person to notice."Vanessa, what the hell is wrong with you? Just this morning, you were sick and I asked you to stay at home. How did you sneak out without me noticing?" Cia scolded Vanessa at first.Even though she was supposed to be sympathizing with her friend for losing her beloved grandmother, Cia still had to scold her.Vanessa glared at the both of them, she was speechless, she didn't even know what to say or how to react.All she wanted to con
When she arrived at the mansion with Cia, Vanessa heaved a heavy sigh. She was having mixed feelings about going inside.Even though Manuel didn't come to see her at the hospital.Vanessa forgave him. She held no grudges against him and all she wished now was to get comforted by him.Vanessa went inside the mansion with her fist clenched tightly unto her dress. She was scared inside of her, she didn't want to face the Manuel that doesn't remember her but the Manuel who loved and cherished her.The living room was a few steps away from Vanessa, she hadn't even reached there when she began to hear the voices of Marina and Manuel, and it seemed like they were together.Her legs froze on that spot, she didn't want to go further. It hurt her to listen to them, what more will it do to her if she saw them? Vanessa held her beating chest tight.She has to ignore them if she wants her child's safety. She just had to!. Vanessa turned deaf ears as she walked into the living room. She met that Ma
Vanessa's only request to sign the divorce documents was for Manuel to rent her an apartment. He eventually did that but she left without signing the divorce papers. When he saw the blank signature in the documents, he realized that he had been tricked. However, Marina asked him not to worry since she had already left.For a moment, Manuel felt remorseful about his actions. He was sure that he didn't recall who Vanessa was. Why did he now regret everything he's done?After leaving Marina in his bedroom, he went to his study with Adrian."Where is Vanessa now?" He asked Adrian."Mrs Howells…." Adrian said slowly and stopped to correct himself. "Vanessa has settled in the apartment you rented for her" he revealed.Manuel didn't even know the place, but it wasn't a hard thing for him to find out. According to Vanessa, she didn't want him to know the address of the place he was going to rent a home for her.He just sent her the money to rent it. Even though Manuel wanted to obey her requ
Vanessa has spent up to two weeks in the apartment, she was beginning to get used to everything. With Cia who'd come to visit her sometimes and Allen, she didn't have to worry about anything.Sometimes, she gets reminded of her situation and misses Manuel. But Vanessa didn't think of it much, she would eventually get used to it in time.It was a cold evening, she had just finished warming a hot pot of soup she had prepared earlier that day. The more she got into her pregnancy, the more Vanessa's tastes in food changed.Now, she loves eating soup and drinking tea more than ever. The morning sickness was killing her. She could barely hang on sometimes when it started.Vanessa finished drinking the last spoon of soup and she went to the kitchen to do the dishes. As she washed the plates, she looked at her tiny baby bump. It wasn't that visible, one would barely know that she was pregnant.Vanessa has the feeling of a mother inside her again. She remembered when the doctor told her that s
Vanessa was inside her apartment, she had just finished to conclude her plans for her business. She finally decided to start a flower business.The area she lived in was damp and not even a single flower grew there. She learned how to grow flowers from her grandmother so she was hoping to invest in that, it would also serve as a memory for her grandmother.As Vanessa stood up to keep the jotter, she heard a brief knock on the door. She hesitated for a while before she went to open it. She wasn't expecting anyone.Doctor Allen already told her that he wasn't coming that night so she wondered if it was Cia. Cia always informs her before she comes, and it was a Wednesday, she was always busy on Wednesdays.Vanessa decided to stop speculating and just open the door to find out who it was. She placed her hand on the knob and turned it open.Surprisingly, it was the person that she least expected to see in her apartment. The devil incarnate herself, Marina Brown.Vanessa was so angry, and f
Inside the car as Manuel drove Vanessa to the hospital, he couldn't help but panic when he saw her bleeding from underneath her thighs. It made him dear that Vanessa might lose the baby, which was probably his.He felt so much pain in his heart to see her suffer.Why did he forget about this woman? How important was she to him when they were together? Several questions popped into Manuel's head.They soon arrived at the hospital and Manuel instantly ordered for a stretcher to be brought to place Vanessa on.She was immediately taken into the hospital and a ward was assigned to her.Manuel waited outside, he didn't want to be there, he wanted to go inside with them. He was angry and nervous at the same time. Manuel rubbed his temples, the doctor wasn't there yet.He turned to one of the nurses who was about to go inside. "Where the hell is the doctor?" He asked the fragile looking nurse, she was so scared of the tone he used in talking to her."Uhmm.. Mr, please calm down. The doctor
Doctor Allen fed Vanessa her meal, she needed to eat before her next medication and also to keep her baby healthy.He still couldn't understand why Vanessa never spoke about Manuel exiting the hospital. Maybe she was slowly getting over him. Allen was happy, At least he got a chance now. Vanessa coughed lightly after eating a spoonful of the meal, Allen gave her water to drink. "Sorry" he apologized to her. "it isn't your fault, Allen" Allen noticed how Vanessa's mood was, he thought of what to say to cheer her up."At least the baby is fine. Can you tell me what happened? Who attacked you?" Allen asked Vanessa.He knew clearly that she didn't plan on answering his questions. Vanessa remained silent, she just took the spoon again and wanted to eat. Her cut on her hand hurt and she couldn't eat properly.Allen collected the spoon and resumed feeding her. Vanessa was filled but she didn't want to stop eating, it'll only make her think about Manuel again or Allen's questions.Vanessa s
After she went inside with doctor Allen, Manuel returned to his car, filled with anger and frustration, he wanted to tear Vanessa apart.He wanted to make her pay for putting him in such a situation. He almost thought that they were going to have a child together. He was angry, instead of being excited and continued with the divorce.Manuel couldn't understand his feelings, why did it hurt him this much? She cheated on him and carried another man's child. He was so enraged as he finally drove off, leaving the apartment complex area.Vanessa watched him throughout until he left. Ever since she got inside, she had been standing near the window— watching Manuel display his anger inside his car. After everything, he left.She was relieved, Vanessa went to sit on the couch where doctor Allen sat on. He waited for her before he opened the package containing instant noodles and prepared it for her to eat. Vanessa didn't say a word as she picked it up and ate it, she was so famished, anythin
