79. Memory Lane
"Good morning, uncle Edward!" little Sophia's beaming smile greeted him as soon as he opened his eyes.
This time, it was eleven days after Edward’s admission to the hospital. He was now able to move places with the help of a wheelchair. The cervical collar and IV injection had been removed from him as well as the pulse oximeter and ECG machine. And with his regular sessions to physiotherapy, his recovery was swiftly progressing.
"Good morning, Sophia." He smiled back.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I did. What about you?"
"I slept well too!" she hopped on her seat as she answered.
"You came so early," he said. Apparently, Gray and little Sophia didn't spend the night at the hos

Till Time Do Us Part 80. Good Morning
When Zia Scott stared at Gray’s mysterious grin, her vision once again began to be distorted like an optical illusion. She already knew the drill. She would be brought to another setting again. She was back in Gray’s apartment. It was after dinner. Gray was washing the used dishes as per routine, while she was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. On her way out she said, “Do you think he’s still awake?” Gray glanced at her. “Who?” “Edward.” “Probably asleep. You know he doesn’t stay up too late.” “I wanna talk to him.” “Why?” Zia went back to the living room and turned off tv. “I sti

“Good morning.” “Is this another dream?” blurted Zia Scott as she reached her tiny hand out to lightly squeeze Edward Bartlett’s cheek, who was kneeling on the floor beside the couch where she was lying. “Hmm?” uttered Edward. “Are you still feeling sleepy, Sophia? You can sleep more if you want.” “What?!” Zia abruptly sat up and scanned the surroundings. “Gray’s apartment? Why am I here?” “You said you wanted to come with me and get your aunt Gray’s stuff, but you fell asleep in the car so I carried you here so you can properly lie down,” said Edward as he stood and walked to the kitchen. “So, this is reality?” mumbled Zia to herself as she palmed her face. “Man, that was a long dream.”
Till Time Do Us Part 82. Guard
As Gray regained consciousness, she was back where she came from. The same ceiling, the same room. The same ECG machine beeping beside her bed and the same IV line injected on the back of her hand. The oxygen mask, however, was no longer present. “A gunshot wound on the left shoulder,” uttered Azriel beside her hospital bed, leaning back on an armchair with both arms and legs crossed. She shot him an annoyed glance then she drew her stare back at the ceiling. “Deep knife wounds on the palm of the left hand, left arm and right thigh---the one on the right thigh being the deepest,” continued Azriel. “A gunshot wound on the stomach that caused several damaged internal organs, another gunshot wound on the chest that could have killed you had the medic been one minute later, a deep graze on the right calf, a semi-frac

“Gray?” uttered a bemused Sarah Lewis. “But I thought you just woke up? Is it alright for you to walk around already? Wait, did you get a haircut? You dyed your hair black too.” “Did you just mistake me for that woman?” scowled Azriel at her then after he wore his glasses, he pulled on Elreese’s hands wrapped around him. “And get this little creature away from me.” He gently pushed the little girl toward her. “And aren’t you Sasha Neuman? According to my data, you supposedly died three years ago because of an imprudent drunk driver.” “Dead?” giggled Sarah and pointed at herself. “I’m Sarah Lewis, remember? Did you forget about me?” She took back the glasses on Elreese’s hand and wore it. “Or…” She hesitated as she finally got a clear vision of the person in front of her. “Are you not Gray? I don’t think I’ve seen you wear glasses before.”

Azriel Stewart continued searching for his phone under the bed. “So, you’re actually a twin?” uttered Sarah Lewis as she approached him. “That’s so cute.” He turned to face her with annoyance flitted across his face. “Yes, I am,” he said. “And no, it’s not.” He stood up from squatting down the floor. “What about you?” “Yes?” she confusedly asked. “What about me?” “You have an uncanny resemblance to Sasha Neuman. Are you a twin, too?” he dryly asked. Gray, on the other hand, who was secretly listening in on their conversation with her eyes shut could not help but flinch her face in irritation. “Shut your mouth, Az!” she thought to herself.
Till Time Do Us Part 85. Awkwardness
Approximately an hour had passed since Edward went to work and Zia Scott refused to move even an inch from the couch. She had already read through the two magazines on the table, and was planning to read them again from the first page as long as she wouldn’t have to deal with Azriel. Azriel, on the other hand, also hadn’t moved from the armchair beside the bed. She wanted to talk with the sleeping Gray but with him hogging the chair, she couldn’t do it. Plus, with other people inside, she had to stay on her guard and keep pretending like a child. It was silent. Even Dillon who had been given permission to sit had not uttered even a single sigh. He had just been staring at who knows what. And even if she could only see the back of Azriel’s head from where she was, she was certain he was also pretty much staring at something too.
Till Time Do Us Part 86. Caviar
“Here’s Salade d’asperges de saison for the gentleman,” says the waiter as he put down a plate of what looked like a typical green salad in front of Airol. “It has La ratte potato ‘gaufrettes,’dandelion greens, pickled spring onions, and ‘gribiche’.'" Then, he set another plate with what looked like soup with black pearls in front of Zia sitting across from Airol. “And Oysters and Pearls for the young lady.” The waiter smiled at her. “A ‘sabayon’of pearl tapioca with island creek oysters and sterling white sturgeon caviar.” Zia’s eyes widened to what he said as she stared at her plate, unable to even lift her utensil, afraid she would tarnish it. “C-caviar?!” she thought to herself as she gulped nervously. “I haven’t even come to this fancy restaurant with Edward yet. This is, like, the most expensive restaurant in the c
Till Time Do Us Part 87. Intruder
“Mmmmphhmmm,” uttered Gray Stewart under the pillow as she continued to resist. She grabbed the man’s wrists with her hands but in her state, she could barely inflict pain to the man’s bulky arms. “Damn it!” she thought to herself. “This is the lamest way to die! I was better off dying after getting dramatically shot at that rotting factory.” Realizing that she could never outpower the man, she pulled the needle from the back of her left hand---a skill she executed for the third time already and would definitely invite the nurse’s nagging again given she would survive the long night. After successfully pulling out the needle, she stabbed the man somewhere on his body that she had no idea of knowing, because her face was buried under the pillow, and would sooner be buried 6 feet underground if she wouldn’t be able
