"Ahh, I forgot! He informed me earlier that he's going out to fetch Audrey at school. He actually told me earlier." She laughed softly before turning her back on me to rummage through her side cabinet for papers. And my mind was like... if he's really going to Audrey, he can tell me directly that he's going to Audrey. But during our conversation on the call, he sounded like he's going to an important business. And besides... why would he pick up Audrey if my daughter hasn't entered school yet after the incident that happened? He was caught in his own tongue. "Anyway, how are you? Do you still feel tingling in your mouth? Is there anything you feel weird in your body?" "I'm completely fine, doc. These rashes on my skin are my only problem. The others are gone, the others are still staying." Because it is so itchy, I am still really scratching. But to avoid injury, I only do mild scratching. "I also took Benadryl to treat these rashes. But I think I need more." "I was just about t
"And she knows when she brings Sarah back to her biological mother would be the huge reason behind her happiness." Who, as a child, would want to live apart from her parents? Sarah is still young, she has suffered in her life since she grew up and joined our family. She grew up to be a grade conscious student... and she never has to fail even once. And that's not the life I exactly want for her. "Then, where's the mother-" "As a cardiac surgeon myself, I led my team to perform an open-heart surgical procedure earlier this morning. It was very difficult to remove the tumor since the patient---her mother--- was diagnosed to have a cardiac sarcoma; a tumor in the heart tissue, and the location of the tumor is quite hard to locate." I frowned because it seemed random to me that he opened a topic that was not connected to what we were talking about. But probably, the patient he is referring to is Sarah's biological mother. "And the option left to us is just... proceed to heart transpla
We're in the middle of the trip going back to the hospital. I would like to ask for an update on whether the operation that Liam did earlier was successful. And I have also sent Lucile since I'm too lazy to bring my own car. She will just drop me off but she won't go inside with me... because I asked her to go back to Audrey immediately. My daughter has no one to be with when she wakes up but her nanny. "You know what... this is the first time this has happened in my life, Kris." "What is it again?" "Because my talking stage took two weeks." When I looked back at Lucile while driving, she was thrilled... as if she had achieved the greatest achievement in her life. "Usually, isn't it... the men I talk to, I think our convo lasts only three days. Then, ok. It's like a conversation that happens in the Near Group, that if your reply is two minutes late, the conversation will end immediately." "So, you're comparing your love life to a dating feature like Near Group?" "The status of my
"What if she starts hating me because of what I did? I know she'll never forgive me for not allowing her to know who her real father was. It's hard." "So, you chose to be the only one hurt? You should have thought of yourself too, Kris. You can deny Henrix’ offer to you then, can't you? Why didn't you do it?” “I want to give my daughter a sensible father. I want her to believe that she was raised by a good father and a loving one.” I really couldn't handle the long traffic we were facing, so I opened the car door. "I'll go first. I think this traffic won’t end.” ***** "You do not have to worry. Your operation was successful earlier." I was just silently looking at the ICU where the woman that Liam says is Sarah's biological mother is there. She is still being observed by doctors before being permanently transferred to a hospital room. "Perhaps Kris entrusted Sarah to you before she disappeared?" I heard Liam speak again. "She loves Sarah very much even though she is not our daug
I don't know the whole story yet. I don't know what the child's reason is for loitering on the road with a pale face as if she hasn't had food in her stomach for a week. Lucile has made sure to me that Sarah's doing well under one roof with Liam. And she even told me that aside from being a top student in her school, this kid also has a career in showbiz. And why the hell has she turned out to be a homeless person now? I just caught Sarah's eyes widening when I saw her talking to Dianne inside a room here at the health center. Instead of going in, I just sat there on the chair in front of her room while waiting for Dianne—as I allowed her to talk to her and inform me what Sarah was really up to. Sarah can't see me because I know even if I introduce myself to her as my own twin sister, I don't think she'll believe that instant. While waiting, I received a phone call from Henrix. At first I didn't want to answer it. He will probably just say hello to my checkup with my allergist, and
"By the way..." He got up early at four o'clock. "I didn't tell you that I talked to someone—-actually I met her on a dating app. I guess the girl was attracted to me because she was beautiful and enjoyed my voice... well, is it because I sing to her every night…" "And then?" I'm interested in Rocco's tea, but apparently it's not just because I'm busy answering emails. "I feel like she's trying to seduce me. Well, you know the history of my voice, don't you? Even a girl without panties, her panties fall off because my voice is sounded like Taehyung-" "Dream on, stupid. You never sounded like him, duh!" "You're ruining the story. Am I done?" This damned gay has really worked hard. "So, that's right... because I feel in 3, 2, 1... well, I'm going to admit to myself that I'm that girl's type, and so... I blocked her. As well as my account on that fvcking dating app, I deactivated the account." "Gosh, you've ditched a woman again. Why is it that the woman you swiped right on is a wo
"Who is that man, Gwen? He’s handsome, huh?" "My sister's ex-husband." "Ohh... we are sisters at heart, aren't we?" I heard him say more. "Maybe you can leave him to me? After all, he's an ex-husband-" "Even if you don't ask for my permission, he’s yours. Stick him in your lungs, so that he won't come out," I answered indifferently. My body went limp when I leaned on the seat and let my phone fall to the floor of the car. "Just don't blame me for not stopping you when you start to regret it, and wish you would have just chosen to pursue a woman instead of him. I don't want to break the curse of... 'repentance always comes last'." "What?" Instead of paying attention to Rocco, I just kept quiet inside the car. Let him be curious about what I said, for all I care. If I should understand anything at this time, it's only two things. Thinking of a reason once that Hen and I will meet later, and secondly... I really hope that Liam and I can return Sarah to her real mother. ***** "You
After I dropped off Audrey at school—since she requested that she want to go again and the school head quickly agreed about Audrey shifting to face-to-face classes again—I didn't go straight to work. I went back to the house again, hoping Henrix had already come home... but I didn't see any trace of him inside. He told Aud that he was going home in the morning, and it's already 9 in the morning, he still isn't there. "Are you just leaving the house now?" Lucile greeted me. The only thing she used was a motorbike and it looked like she was tripped up to stroll here like we did. "You're late, huh?" "I'm the boss. I can come in any time I want-” "And needed." When the motorcycle she told me about the other day that Jessica gave her was parked on the side of the road, Lucile waved at me as if I had a fault with her. "Because of the messages I received from you yesterday—you hacked me with a text—do you know that my video call partner suddenly killed me?" "Yes, I just found out becau
