Chapter 101LAUREN"How are you feeling Lauren?" Mom asked as soon as I opened my eyes. I nodded my head lightly."I'm better now mom. Can I please get a glass of water?" I asked as I tried to sit on the bed.The caregiver that mom assigned to assist her rushed to my side and helped me sit up.The stress of taking care of me has taken a toll up on mom and I felt thankful and sorry towards her.She left her life in the US and came all the way here with me to take care of me. It's been months already and mom has never complained or showed any tiredness.The caregiver she got, I had to really persuade her to hire one so as to reduce the stress load on her.Mom was adamant at first saying she could take care of me and she can never get tired of taking care of me, but I did really persuade before she gave in.She finally agreed and hired a caregiver. It was not like we could not afford a caregiver, no, we could hire as many as we could.But I don't know why mom was being stubborn and stres

Chapter 103CADENLauren pulled me closer to herself and hugged me tightly."I'm sorry." Was all she could mutter as she held onto me tighter. I was hesitant at first but I finally gave in.I finally gave in and wrapped my arms around her."I'm sorry for yelling." I apologized. She shook her head lightly."You don't need to apologize. You have every right to yell and to be angry at me. After all, we are a married couple and not in a dating relationship," She said."I love you," I said. I wasn't expecting any reply from her but I wanted her to know that I won't get tired of loving her."I love you too." She said the words that I have been anxiously waiting to hear.It took my unaware that my heart beat skipped.I pulled her gently away from the hug and looked into her eyes. She smiled shyly and tried to bring her face down but I held up her chin and made her look right back at me."Thank you so much Lauren, I love you very much." I smiled and kissed her lips.She smiled cheerfully at

Chapter 105CADENI smiled as I rolled to the other side of the bed with my hand searching for Lauren with my eyes still closed.When I could not feel anybody beside me, I opened my eyes and Lauren was not there on the bed beside me.I did have the thought that maybe she was in the kitchen preparing a surprise breakfast like she sometimes does. But just as I was about to leave the room, my eyes caught with the sticky note on the bedstand table that the bedstand lamp was.I picked it up and it was Lauren's handwriting."Good morning hubby. By the time you are reading this, I would have already been on my way to South Korea to meet my twin sister. I did not want to wake you up from your sleep. You already made the preparations before hand so thanks to you, it would not be difficult for me.Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. Remember you promised to give me a week's off when I'm ready to visit my sister, I'm ready to use it now.So, see you in a week's time. Don't miss me t

Chapter 107LESLIEBeing sick and almost at death's door must have changed her a lot. Even though she looked pale, she still had a bright smile on her face.It was a sight that I thought I would never get to see."Thank you Leslie, you are the best. You don't know how I have been craving for this but mom wouldn't agree to get it for me," Lauren said and pouted her lips at mom.Mom shrugged her shoulders and looked away."Feeling guilty?" Lauren teased me."Don't be silly. It was for your own good." Mom replied and we laughed.I handed mom and box of chocolates I got for her."But you know you already brought enough yesterday." Mom smiled at me."I'm not complaining, am I?" I asked and shrugged my shoulders."Thank you." Mom beamed at me while I smiled.I helped Lauren unbox the cake and placed it on the table that was with the hospital bed. I helped her sit on the bed properly. I put a pillow at her back to support her back and make her comfortable."Thank you Leslie.""You are alway

Chapter 109 LAUREN Minutes after Caden left, I came with the realization that Caden might not come to me. It occurred to me that he wasn't just pretending to be playing the good husband but the fact that he actually really loves Leslie. If that wasn't going to be the case, it's best I tell him the truth. I left the hospital room and described Caden and with the help of a nurse, I was able to go upstairs to meet Caden. Even though the nurse tried to stop me from leaving, I disagreed. She ended up wheeling me in a wheelchair. I got there and saw Caden and Leslie hugging and it made my blood boil with so much anger. I moved up to them while the nurse excused herself. They disengaged from the hug as soon as they saw me. "I have something to tell you." I blurted out rudely to Caden. He looked at me with a not-so friendly look at me. "What is it that you have to say?" He asked. I smirked and took in a deep breath. "The truth is that..." As I tried to say something, Caden's phone
