While on their way back to the hospital, Noah noticed that Valeria had been utterly quiet. He didn't want to pry at whatever discussion she must have had with her mom. He gave them space, so the mother and daughter could bond. But then, they were going back to the hospital, and that would be the last time he ever laid eyes on her. Who knows? So long as she was still with Ergon, there was always the possibility that he might not be able to see Valeria for a long time or never, even. "Val, when you saw your mom earlier, did you, perhaps, get any memories?" That was a fair question for him to ask. "Uhm, I did, but not much. I remember her, but I don't remember the events which took place when I was fifteen. I only remember the times I spent with my friends and family.""Uhm, that was a good start, I must say. Because the fact that you still remember your mom, shows that there's great hope for you getting back your memories, Val.""I know, that was what I thought too. Uhm, Mr Noah?" V
***********Noah drank heavily. He wasn't drinking to pretend, he was drinking to drown himself in his sorrows. Valeria wouldn't come back to him, he couldn't help her, she didn't even want him to help her. What was he supposed to do, in order to get his woman back? Plead with Ergon? Will that even work?"Babe, why are you drinking this way? Don't you think it's too early for this?""It's not early, by the way, I'm just happy. You have no idea just how happy I am.""Wow, this is new. I'm glad to see you this happy, but may I know why you're this happy?" Because, I don't have to worry much about Valeria, she's living her life and I'm truly happy for her.""Really? This is great!" Adrainna exclaimed happily."This is exactly what I've been hoping for. Hearing this from you is the greatest thing I've ever heard. But...how did you come about making this decision?"Noah stared at Adrainna, skeptically. The only best reason he wanted her around was to find out some information from her, an
Valeria was at home as usual, thinking about everything that happened a week ago. The joy of knowing her mother was safe. She had wanted to tell Ergon about her mom and ask for permission from him so she could visit her again, but then, owing to the situation on the ground, she was afraid to do so. She was gradually noticing the loopholes in their relationship. Things were beginning not to add up to make a single sense, starting from the day she saw him at the mall, to the lady named Shiella, and now to her mom. There were instances that seemed really suspicious. She wished she knew exactly what was going on. "Ma'am, I'm glad you finally decided to leave the room," the chef said with a smile on his face. "Don't flatter yourself now, I'm only here because I need to make my son's favourite dish myself today. "Yes, I know, this is the only reason for which you leave your room. I'm well aware of the fact that Fred enjoys mummy's cooking more. You know, seeing him act that way makes me
Valeria immediately hid the phone underneath the pillow before hurrying to open the door. "Hey, my love, I'm sorry for keeping you, I was having a nap," Valeria lied. "I'm so sorry for disturbing you, love. I just got a little break and decided to come see you. I missed you so much. Ergon walked over to where she stood and pulled her into his arms. "And I missed you too, darling," Valeria replied, wrapping her hands around him as well. "I could tell. By the time I'm done with what I'm doing, I promise that you will be the happiest person.""Huh? Really?" "Of course, my love.""May I know what you're working on?" Valeria asked. "Nah....if I told you now, it would no longer be a surprise, don't you think?""Hmm, that's true." Valeria suddenly perceived a sweet smell on Ergon's shirt. That was unusual. Ergon wasn't a man who cared about perfumes, and to top it all, it wasn't just a man's perfume, but a woman's. If there was one thing she could point out about a cheating man, it w
While Mrs Shiella and Fred were having fun with their drawing, Valeria made an excuse for wanting to go to the restroom and immediately exited the room. She looked around hoping to find the doctor's office. "Looking for someone?" The familiar voice asked. Valeria quickly turned around and saw Noah. He was putting on grey coloured joggers and a hooded cardigan. That was her first time seeing him dress that way, she guessed. He looked quite different and that gave him some sort of cool appearance.He walked towards her with his hands in his pockets, and his expression, relaxed, unlike before when he looked quite disturbed and restless. "I..uhm," Valeria became short of words at that very moment. "I'm looking for the doctor," she blurted out. She believed she didn't have to hide that from him. "Did you bring it?""Bring...what?""The medicine," Noah said, as if he was so sure that was what she wanted to see the doctor for. She shook her head while staring at him. "You're so sure
Noah balled his hands in a fist. Ergon wasn't just a drug addict and a liar, but a despicable scumbag as well. How dare he do this to Valeria? How the hell was this him showing her he loved her? Ergon had never been deserving of Valeria's love from the very beginning. He knew it. This was the worst thing Ergon had ever done. He watched Valeria walk lazily back to the hospital room. He needed to talk to her, else they wouldn't have enough time to talk anymore. He quickened his steps so he could get to her immediately. "Valeria, I want us to talk about the-""Let's not talk about anything for now, Mr Noah. I just want to be alone," she quickly interrupted him and walked quickly to the room. Noah heaved a long sigh of frustration. Things were getting from bad to worse right there in his very presence, and there was nothing he could do. How did things get complicated in the twinkle of an eye? Noah thought about Ergon and what he had done. There was no way in hells name he would allo
Valeria stared at the bright room from her room window. It was dark and the moon was beautifully shinning in the night sky, giving its light to the earth. At that moment, she wished she was the moon, and no one could reach her, even though they could see her. She wished all of what she was experiencing was all a bad dream which she would have to wake up from. It is too complicated for this to be real. She was having the best life ever. How come the life she lived turned out to be a lie just like that? She had said she wasn't going to cry, but at that moment, she couldn't help herself. Tears clogged her eyes and threatened to fall off. What exactly was she supposed to do at a time like this?She slowly shut her eyes and the tears she had been holding back came pouring out of her eyes freely. She quickly placed her hands on her lips and sobbed uncontrollably. It was hard to take in, her life was a terrible mess. She can't remember anything because she was being fed the wrong medic
Just as she tried to step away from him, she tripped and was about to fall to the ground. Right at that very moment, strong arms held her firmly on her waist and pulled her up, but unfortunately, she landed on his chest. She stared down at his rosy pink nipples. Valeria quickly gulped down whatever it was that clogged her throat. How could this happen to her? This was a terrible temptation and she would be a goner if she didn't escape from him at that very moment. "M..Mr Noah, can-""Why are you acting so nervous around me Valeria?" Noah asked, cutting her off. Brandy? The smell from his mouth was brandy. Does this mean Noah has been drinking? She quickly took her gaze up at him, only to be met with a pair of blue eyes, they seemed dark and dreamy at the same time. "Noah, I think you're drunk. Why don't you go back to bed?"Noah lowered his gaze on her, while still holding on tightly to her waist. "Valeria, you want to know why I'm this drunk, right? What if I tell you it's be
