(Frank’s POV)“No one is leaving this place without you fixing this!” Sky growled like thunder grabbing my collar and Finn’s.My heart was broken into a million pieces, maybe more. I was furious at Lexa for making a fool out of me, making me look stupid into believing she was Lexi. No wonder Finn and I got confused because Lexa and Lexi switched for who knew how many times.I could not erase the memory of just watching Lexi almost drown in the swimming pool. Even when Finn shouted that she couldn’t swim, my body got stuck to the ground, unable to move because the night she was with me, she bravely jumped into the open water to get the yellow rose I gave her. Lexa jumping into the water to save Lexi came as a bombshell. The twins should have just hammered or smashed my heart into a pulp rather than made me believe true love existed.As if heaven pressed the pause button, no one moved even after Lexi left the pool area.Lexa was still kneeling on the ground, her mouth open but gaping b

(Lexi’s POV)I groaned, feeling the excruciating pain in my body. It was like I had been beaten to a pulp, my muscles sore and unable to move. When my eyelids opened, I saw the white ceiling and moaned in pain again, closing my eyes as I tried to remember what had happened.There was a car… a white sedan that I didn’t see coming, and… after that, everything went blurry. Was I hit by a car? Did I get into an accident?“Lexi?”I opened my eyes again, seeing Jocelyn walking worriedly to my side and breathing in relief.“Finally, you’re awake,” she muttered, pressing the button to call a nurse. The woman in a white uniform came quickly to her. “Call Dr. Greene; tell him she’s awake.”She nodded and left us right away.“Where am I? I need to pick up Aliyah and Jolene,” I muttered weakly, wanting to get up, but it was like an elephant was sitting in my body.“About that,” Jocelyn bit her lower lip and heaved a sigh. “Jeannie picked them up already, and they’re home,” she said. “Do you remem

(Lexi’s POV)“Knock, knock!”I turned my head and smiled at Jocelyn as she leaned her head on the door frame, knocking softly on the ajar door. She was still wearing her blue scrub uniform, looking tired and sad.“Hi!” I greeted, putting my pen on the open planner. “I’m just listing down everything I need Catherine to check on Finn’s email and turn them over to the office tomorrow. Dr. Greene also said you wanted me to wait here.”“Can I just adopt you so you can stay with me?” She smiled as she walked closer to me. She stood behind me, wrapped her arms around my body, and kissed the top of my head.I pursed my lips, hiding my smile.“I’m willing to adopt three and two cats, you know,” she joked, but there was a hint of mixed emotions in her voice. “Can we talk?” She said in a hushed tone, glancing at Jolene and Aliyah sleeping on the bed.“Sure. Are we going to talk about our adoption?” I grinned, cracking a joke to make her smile.It worked. Her lips curved into a hopeful smile as s

(Lexi’s POV)I adjusted the strap of my backpack, mentally checking if I had everything in my bag after Aliyah and I got out of the taxi. Unfamiliar with the surroundings, she was quiet, probably anxious that she might step on something or someone might bump into her in the city's busy street. Her small hand gripped the fabric of the same clothes I wore the first time I came here; Only I was sure that the long sleeve white shirts under my knee-length overall denim jumper dress assured me there would be no déjà vu sort of things to happen today.I had to bring her with me because Jeannie had to deal with something at work, and Jolene had to go to school. At first, Aliyah was excited, especially when I promised her we would go to the water museum, but as soon as we got out of the taxi, she must have been scared of the sounds of footsteps, chattering, and honks of some cars that she couldn't see.Catherine assured me yesterday that Frank was not reporting to work yet. The day Jolene saw

(Lexi’s POV)When the elevator door opened, I looked around, finding a place for Aliyah to sit. I led her to the couch and helped her get into the leather L-shaped sofa. I sat beside her and enveloped her little hands in mine.“Will you be okay here?” I asked her as my eyes wandered because I did not prepare for this.I should have brought a sweater for her or dressed her appropriately since the aircon’s temperature was set at a lower number here on Finn’s floor.“Uh-huh.” She went quiet for a few seconds, groping the leather seat, then smiled. “Lexi, where’s my book?”I took out the book from my bag and gave it to her. “You call me if you need anything, okay? I’ll just go and talk to Finn.”“Okay,” she answered, flipping her book open.I took a deep breath before walking toward the door, hoping to ask Finn if I could borrow a blanket for Aliyah. Frank and Finn hated me, but their fondness for my sister seemed to have remained, so maybe he would give in to my little favor for Aliyah’s
