I drank it, and I must say, it helped me steady myself.He jumped back onto the bed, cuddling me while stroking my hair gently. It was like a soothing balm. I felt at peace again and soon drifted off to sleep.The next time I woke up, it was 10 a.m. The sound of my phone ringing stirred me awake. Leonard was still sleeping. As I looked at his peaceful figure on the bed, I sighed, thankful that everything I had dreamt about was just that—a dream.I picked up my phone and hesitantly answered the call. It was an unknown number.“Hello?” I said, pressing the phone to my ear.“Good morning, ma’am. It’s the caregiver. Mr. Wyatt is awake and has asked to see you,” she said briskly.“Please let me speak to him,” I requested.“Evelyn,” my dad’s faint voice called.“Good morning, Dad!” I said, relieved to hear him.“I’ll be at the hospital soon,” I
EVELYN’S POV:"I'm so sorry." Dana's unmistakable voice cut through the silence. I opened my eyes slowly, and our gazes met. The agony on her face was undeniable, her eyes swollen from crying, she looked so pathetic and vulnerable, this was unlike Dana. I felt a pang of pity towards her."It was all jealousy," she confessed. "Caleb and I have always been in love, but we decided to use you for you to our advantage, we wanted Caleb to take control of Your father’s company, but nothing we did worked out, and I just realized how much I have hurt you. Can you ever forgive me, Evelyn?" Her voice was pleading, her desperation evident."It's okay, Dana," I said softly, holding out my hand to help her up. She was kneeling. "I forgive you. Everything is okay.” I said as I cried with her, unable to hold in my tears.The moment the words left my mouth, she engulfed me in a suffocating hug. "Thank you so much, Evelyn," she said, her tone almost jubilant. “ I can't believe you did this for me, I'm
EVELYN’S POV:“Hi, Mom,” he greeted with a huge smile on his face.“Congratulations,” his mom replied happily. Even tho I couldn't see her face, I had visualised her smile. “How’s Evelyn?” she inquired further.“She’s here, she’s fine. We’re both happy,” he said, breathless yet composed, his composure to me was also everything.“Ryan and River,” I whispered, urging him to ask her.“How are the kids?” he asked, acknowledging me.“They’re asleep now, but they’ll need their parents by tomorrow,” she said playfully, “ it was hell, before they got to sleep.”“How’s Mr Wyatt?” she asked, worries evident in her tone.“He’s okay for now, the doctors have been attending to him.” Leonard explained.“All right,” she sighed, wishing him a quick recovery before hanging up.“Your mom knew about this? This is crazy, Leonard,” I said, taking a bite of my food.He just smiled and kept looking at me admiringly. I couldn't stop blushing the whole time.Just as if staged, Leonard’s phone started buzzing
EVELYN’S POV“He is going to be fine. It’s just that he’s been taking the wrong dosage for his condition, which has caused a serious contraction within his system. But we’ll do all we can to make sure he recovers,” the doctor explained before leaving us.If the doctor said he’d been taking the wrong dosage, it could only mean my dad had known he was ill before now and had refused to tell me.I knew he’d been trying to shield me from worry, but not trusting me enough to share his struggles hurt more than his current state.“How could he not say a thing to me? I didn’t even know my dad was ill until now,” I cried as I buried my face against Leonard’s chest.He stroked my back gently, whispering assurances that everything was going to be okay.But I wasn’t ready to accept his words. I sobbed uncontrollably, letting the pain flow through my tears. Leonard remained by my side, offering his silent support.After what felt like forever, I began to feel lighter, though the weight of the situa
EVELYN’S POV:“What’s happening?” Leonard asked, noticing the worry etched on my face.I ignored him, fear bubbling in my chest as I redialed my dad’s number. It rang, but the call didn’t connect.My fear intensified, my mind racing with endless possibilities.“Hey, calm down, please,” Leonard said, reaching out to me, trying to comfort me.“My dad... I need to get home. Something’s wrong—I don’t know what it is,” I said, my words tumbling out chaotically.“Eve, take a deep breath. Breathe in and out. Everything will be fine. Just get ready,” he said calmly before stepping out of the room. I stood still, shocked For a moment, before I hurried to my wardrobe, grabbed some clothes, and took a quick shower. By the time I was ready, it was already 11 a.m.I waited for Leonard to return, but I was already getting impatient, I felt I was getting too late. I couldn't afford to miss out on anything.Noises came from the veranda, which distracted my thoughts.“Hey, kids, come back here!” I he
EVELYN’S POV:Leonard adjusted toward me and pulled me into a cuddle. It didn’t take long before I drifted off to sleep.When I woke up, it was almost night. I quickly got up, rushed into the bathroom, and finished bathing in record time. After dressing up, I headed straight outside. My mind was on the kids. Were they still sleeping or awake? Were they okay?“Argh!” I shouted as I bumped into someone. I was about to fall, but his strong hands caught me before I hit the floor.“Take it easy,” Leonard’s unmistakable voice reached me. As I looked into his eyes, we both burst into laughter.“What’s going on?” he asked.“I just wanted to check on the kids,” I replied softly.“They’re fine. Mom is with them,” he said. I sighed in relief.Then, his voice became urgent. “Hurry up. We need to be elsewhere.” He grabbed my hand and led me back into the room.“Where are we going?” I asked.“Out, for some air,” he replied while slipping into his trousers.“You should get dressed,” he added.“Why d
EVELYN’S POVAs we got closer, everything seemed normal. The kids were playing happily, and Mia looked perfectly fine, laughing and enjoying herself with them. I placed a hand over my chest, letting out a deep sigh of relief.“Mom, what was that scream?” Leonard asked, his tone concerned.“Ryan almost fell—or I thought he fell,” she replied, searching for the right words.“You scared us. I thought something serious had happened,” Leonard said, the worry still evident in his voice.“Well, I’m sorry for that,” she said casually, brushing it off.The kids, noticing us nearby, came running toward us. The same innocence I had seen the first time I met them sparkled in their eyes, filling me with a sense of peace I couldn’t quite explain.We all sat together in the garden as some servants brought fresh juice. While sipping on our drinks, we talked about various things, especially the progress of my new company. At the moment, the company was being handled by the initial team, and I planned
EVELYN’S POV:Leonard's mom had River with her while River stayed close to Leonard. As we sat down to eat, the room was unusually quiet until Leonard's mom broke the silence.“So, when are you two leaving?” she asked suddenly, catching me off guard. I understood what she meant. She wanted us to stay longer.But we had no time to spare—there were pressing matters we needed to attend to. Leonard, ever practical, answered firmly, “We’ll come back as soon as everything is completely fine, but we leave tomorrow.”“Two more days won’t make a difference to your plans, Leonard,” she pleaded, her tone soft yet insistent. “Can’t you both stay just two more days?”Leonard stood by his decision, but before he could respond further, I interrupted, “We’ll stay.”He turned to me, his expression calm but questioning. I reached for his hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “It’s okay,” I told him softly.Leonard nodded in reluctant agreement, and we resumed eating. The children were playing among them
EVELYN'S POVThe kids were already asleep from the drive home. Leonard carried River, while I took Ryan, and Clara followed us with the things we brought along. We carefully laid them on their beds as we got upstairs and then headed back to my room.While resting, Leonard and I discussed our plans—moving out, settling at his place, starting work, and other things—until exhaustion finally took over us.I woke up to Leonard mumbling strange words, his forehead drenched in sweat. He was running a fever. I tried to wake him up, but it was challenging. I shook him hard until his eyes flickered open.I rushed to the bathroom to get some water and a clean cloth, which I used to cool him down. He looked so scared as he came to, just like the last time. Once again, he couldn’t remember the nightmare.“It’s okay. You’ll be fine,” I said gently, wrapping him in a tight hug.“Thank you, Evelyn,” he whispered softly.When I checked the time, it was past 4 a.m. I tried to go back to sleep, but I co
Evelyn's POVI sat in the room, the sound of my thumping heart was louder with the placidness around. As the clock ticked every moment, my body grew more intense in fear and anticipation. How long have I been sitting here? I could barely remember, but I was badly waiting for the doctor to enter the room. But even if he comes, I doubt he could dispel the unease that coiled in my stomach like a slithering serpent. I jerked back from my seat when the door was pushed open. The doctor stepped into the room and made his way to his seat. I furrowed my brows, trying to fathom his expression in order to know my fate, but he had a serious look arched on his face as he passed a paper to me. “What does it say?” I asked, looking at him desperately.“Take a look,” was his only reply as he leaned back against his seat. With a racing heart, I slowly opened the paper and read through it. “Positive?” I turned my gaze to look at the doctor. I stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief. “Doctor… I'm pr...
