That night, Mark returned home hoping his mother would have left with Lucy but he was wrong. Who was he to think that his mother would do such a thing. He could still see her car parked right beside his other car and it got him really furious..He stumped into his home and straight to his room because he knows that's exactly where his mother would ask her to be.He forced the door open and barged in. Just like he predicted, she was lying peacefully on his bed, fast asleep and snoring lightly.He moved close to her, with his fists folding tightly.As he stared at her, his anger kept increasing. How dare her sleep on his bed? Under whose permission?He tapped her roughly, trying to wake her up. Meanwhile, Lucy who was having her peaceful sleep got disturbed when she felt a strong tap on her shoulder. It was a bit painful though and she opened her eyes slightly even though she already knows who that is.She sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawing loudly. She's so tired and needs to sleep b

"What?... You're pregnant?" Olivia yelled loudly, getting up from the sofa and staring her sister with eyes almost popping out.Lucy nodded, looking down at her fingers and slightly embarrassed."I know this is awkward and I'm really really embarrassed to look at you right now. I'm your older sister and I'm supposed to live a more decent lifestyle but then I..."" What's there to be embarrassed sister? You're pregnant and that's a delightful news. Of course you should he proud of becoming a soon to be Mother and I'm super happy to become an aunt. I've always hoped and prayed for this day to come.. " Olivia paused, glanced at Maynard briefly and sat beside Lucy. She holds her hands and asked softly."Being pregnant is something you should be happy about. Especially if it's for the man you love. Couples do have misunderstandings and I'm really sure you and Mark already made up and that's why you're living with him. He doesn't want you stressing yourself, that is why he asked you to qu

Mark pulled over in front of an hotel where numerous cars were parked. Throughout the ride to the hotel, they said no word to each other and Lucy kept her gaze fixed outside the window.She had no choice but to dress up and go with him to this damn meeting.He stepped out of the car and scurried to her side. He pulled the door open and stretched out his hands. Lucy stared at his hand, then at him and then hissed loudly and looked away, folding her hands across her chest and refusing to step out.As a matter of fact, she suddenly feels reluctant to attend the meeting, she just wanna go home and rest. But how can she convince him to let her go? Still in her pool of thoughts, she felt a arm grab her wrist and forcefully pulled her out of the car. She glared harshly at Mark who had a scornful look on."What are you trying to do uh? Play stubborn uh? "" I should be asking you that because I clearly do not understand why you're trying to play the romantic be gentleman in public while you'

Olivia did not wait for Maynard to park fully as she jumped off the car and rushed into the hospital in panic.She called on the nurses who didn't wait time before rushing out with a stretcher. With the help of Maynard, the unconscious Lucy was placed on the stretcher and wheeled inside.Olivia didn't stop rushing behind them and even as Lucy was wheeled into the ICU, she made to go in with them but was prevented by a nurse."I'm sorry Ma'am, we can't let you in!!" Said the nurse." Why? That is my sister and she needs me right now, please let me in" Olivia pleaded amidst hot tears flowing down her cheeks."Please ma'am, you can't go in" The nurse kept trying to make her understand but Olivia was too persistent and out of slight frustration, the nurse had to push her away slightly and shit the door of the Operating room. Maynard showed up and held her back."Please stop Olivia" "That nurse, she's so rude!! How can she not let me be with my sister? Doesn't she have a heart? "" She d

THE FOLLOWING MORNINGMaynard walked into the ward to find Olivia still sitter in the same position as he left her the previous day. Her eyes were red and plumpy from crying non-stop.He stopped right beside her and pulled her up. Cupping her cheeks, he stared directly into her eyes and sighed deeply."You didn't get a wink of sleep do you?" He asked softly."How could I? when she's still not awake and has no clue what happened to her child. You know, I keep wondering if I should let her know about it or just tell a white lie that the baby is safe and sound. I kept trying to picture how perturbed she would be. It's the saddest news to any expectant mother.."" If only we could tell a white lie to save the situation but sooner or later, she'd find out about it and get mad at you!. I advice you tell her the truth, it's for the best!!"Olivia sighed and turned, looking back at her sister."I should get you something to eat!!" Maynard said in form of a question." No, I'm not hungry.. I'd
