Emma had been blowing hot and cold with her condition for a week, they had already tried everything from drugs for malaria, urinary infection, typhoid fever and even teething, women around , Renzo and even the men were all hard at work to bring a solution to the illness of their little princess as they liked to call Emma in the camp. She was the youngest in El Pazo, arrived when she was just a newborn, everyone saw her grow up, she slept in everyone's tents according to her moods and called all the old grandpa or granny. She was the child of the whole camp and when their baby was sick, they were all sad. They had even saved up to send her to a hospital in Central, but since her birth certificate had a note that she was a resident of the camp, the doctors had been reluctant to see her, saying that they couldn't. didn't have time. That's when Jeanne understood that social marginalizations were aberrations, a visibly dying child stood before them and they still had to discriminate among
Sometime later, the doctor who had softened in contact with the inhabitants of the small community had returned several times and had even taken a liking to the community offering regular visits to examine the inhabitants.For many, it was thanks to Emma their little blessing.Speaking of the latter, she had vaguely recovered the aggravated symptoms of the disease had disappeared. However, the doctor continued to follow her, Jeanne asking him questions as time passed.One thing that caught her attention was the difficulty Emma now had in expressing herself normally. It was as if her tongue was far too heavy for her mouth and made articulating words difficult. Her voice was deep and the words felt heavy to listen to. It was not normal.“That's what I said a month ago… cases of bacterial meningitis cause sequelae which may differ depending on the individual… for others they will have mental confusion, these are the cases where this does not happen. It's not very serious but there's like
Despite the huge tuition fees, Jeanne had not given up hope of putting Emma in a special school, especially when her sister came back in the evening with scratches on her face.Every time she asked, Emma just shook her head Jeanne thought it was because both of them hadn't mastered sign language yet. It had only been two months since Doctor Valum's friend had arrived at their camp. The majority of the locals had wanted to learn because they didn't want to be left out of possible communication with Emma.Only the old folks and a few others found it unnecessary because you didn't have to learn to sign to communicate feelings. Cliché apologies like Sebastian used to say.Emma was in kindergarten, and even if she had told her teacher not to worry because Emma's handicap was not going to impact the education she was going to give to the other students, she was certain that her teacher would have been reluctance and kind of rejection towards her sister.But she preferred to stay positive ima
The sky seemed to have lost its blue for more than six months since Nancy had died. This woman had been a grace to the Clark sisters and now that she thought about it, Jeanne couldn't help but think that maybe she should have spent more time with the woman instead of always running after the money.With Nancy's death, she had discovered a fact. Humans were worth more than money. But she had to work to ensure a future for her sister, she told herself. On the other, she took full measure of many things in her life. She had ruined her relationship with Sebastian because of her indifference to things around her and the same indifference had also led to her not noticing that Nancy was feeling bad. She had to change course if only for Emma.But even so, she was helpless. The reason, she was not at school with her and knew nothing of what was going on there. Emma said nothing to her even when she insisted she did not confide. It looked like everything was fine at school but even she knew it w
Jeanne had announced the day before their departure that she would stay in Central and that she and Emma would go to live in the southern districts of the city. It was on the other side of this place at the opposite extreme, so no one would want to marginalize them not knowing where they came from. She had thanked them for everything and even if her decision had not pleased them, they were going to respect her."Good.. but take these savings with you it's from the whole community... buy yourself a house with it and settle in well with Emma... but if one day you need anything you know where to find us"“Yes I will not forget it”Jeanne took these funds and said to herself that these would be the last favors she would accept from others, from today she was going to fight alone to take care of Emma. She knows it won't be easy but she'll get thereEven today she wonders after all that happened to Emma if she shouldn't have gone with them.The next morning they were all about to leave and s
I felt heavy as if a huge weight had been placed on me and I know something about that from my years of abuse experience. Once my bulliers had placed a huge truck wheel on my back and it was so painful that until today I still remember this bad moment.So when I say that I feel like my body is under very heavy pressure, I know what I'm talking about.I had a funny dream when we were still at El Pazo camp with Nancy and all the others, I think it was the happiest moment of my life because I had people around me. people who truly loved me. I would certainly have liked to leave with them but well, we had stayed and I also tell myself that it is a twist of fate otherwise I might never have accomplished everything I have done so far.I also dreamed of Sebastian, Jeanne's ex-boyfriend. Ah, I don't know what love is, to be honest, but what is certain, this boy cared a lot for Jeanne even if she said mean words to him, he always smiled at her. Could this be love? Still, he had kept his promise
I watched my sister in the doorway as her eyes filled with tears as my thoughts from earlier hit me head-on. I looked down in shame as I blamed her for my misfortunes, she was crying for me and I'm sure knowing her that she was feeling guilty all the way.I felt like the worst person there was right then, I blamed my sister for everything those girls did to me. I blamed another person for denying the real culprits of my situation.I hugged Michael's sheets, the tremors coming back to me, I wanted to cry because I felt miserable.I a real ungrateful after all that my sister has done for me, she works for several hours and since I am old enough to understand, I see her squirming with aches after each day. She doesn't take care of herself, she has a look that sucks as the girls from my old high school would say, but she always takes it to heart to give me the best.I feel Michael's hand on mine and I turn to him, he doesn't look at me, preferring to look at the wall in front of him.This
Michael didn't know what had come over him. He had lost his mind or what? He had wanted to take advantage of Emma's fragility and innocence when she was in a delicate situation. He was ashamed, luckily Jeanne had arrived in time otherwise he didn't know where he was going to do now.Damn, he loved that girl so much he couldn't control his feelings anymore.He was leaning against his bedroom door sliding his hand over his face as he sighed. Jeanne is no fool and knows what would happen if she had just delayed another five seconds. He would have tasted Emma's beautiful lips. He swallowed a large amount of saliva, his heart quickening its pace as he imagined their lips overlapping.He was sure it would be Emma's first kiss but as his mind drifted to those thoughts, he shook his head vigorously. No Emma was too pure and innocent for him to start taking advantage of her like that. He'll just wait and when he's sure she's open enough and can accept his feelings without being scared of them,
Marriage, if someone had spoken to me about that a few more weeks ago, I would have started to cry, regretting having lost Michaël. But now as I'm in this room waiting for the bride's entrance music to play, I feel like I'm in a dream. I've had time to fix all my wrongs on the people I've hurt and now I can say with certainty that I'm ready to live the life that comes my way. After talking to Charlotte, I went to see Cherry. I had been so unfair to her by not allowing her to get to know each other, yet it was her dearest wish for two reasons. I am the woman his best friend is in love with and I am the best friend of the woman she is in love with. It was a bit funny these relations between us, just to say that I occupied an important place in her life without even having already spoken to her. So I went to their apartment, they were living together and because of Cherry's career, they had decided to have a common-law relationship even though a baby was in discussion. They wante
The next morning, Aden was at our doorstep. As soon as he saw me he jumped on me, lifting me up and down. I laughed at his ardor before he dropped me off. But at the same time, I heard a moan of pain as Aden complained. We looked to find Kyle frowning as he just punched Aden. "But what's your problem?" "You're the guy who was supposed to be received by the Emir I think, Aden Logan if I'm not mistaken... but who allowed you to touch my mother? You should keep your hands on you, mom belongs to Dad...” Aden felt a vein pulsate on his forehead, this rascal, he looks like his cunt father, both are so harmful. "Who are you to my mother?" Aden remained silent, he looked at Emma and smiled, he could have teased this brat and at the same time provoked his father by saying that he is the one who could have been their father, but good times when he liked to be petty are gone, now he's more mature and he's given up on the idea of hooking up with Emma one day. He stroked Kyle's head d
Indeed, I had never had an ultrasound so I couldn't imagine that I was expecting two children instead of one. But listening to Michaël I could only realize the baseness of my character as a mother. I had promised myself that I would never do as my mother did, which was to abandon my child, but that's exactly what I did. And I think I did worse because I disowned him, making him cry. My jealousy and anger kept me from thinking and I made horrible and unfair decisions. Manuel grew up without his mother, I understand his speech the day before. I was pathetic, I don't know how to be forgiven. I looked up at my boys on the bed and saw Manuel holding out his hands to me. " Mom..." I sobbed running to him as I hugged him, almost smothering him in my embrace. I've been so unfair, I don't know if I could ever make it up to you but I would do anything to erase the pain of my absence from my baby's heart. I'm going to be the mother he's been missing all this time. I beg your pardon
Kyle hung up before seeing his father bring him a meal tray. He made a face not understanding this silly smile before sighing remembering that it was his parent. "Hello my prince" " Good morning" Michael sighed, it won't be easy at all. "I brought you your breakfast, are you coming?" “I can feed myself you know” “I know it but I want to make sure you take your medicine” "Do I need to take it all the time? Frankly" Michaël smiled, he betrayed himself so easily, it was so adorable. “You have persistent asthma. For this, your pediatrician has asked that you follow a controlled treatment, which means that you will always have to take medication to avoid having severe attacks..." Michaël's eyes widened, if Manuel's meds are here then he won't have taken them since yesterday which means... " Shit" "Don't swear in front of a kid, I'll beg you" Michaël got up rubbing his hair before sighing. "Tell me where your brother is" Kyle almost choked before looking at his father. "W
I sat watching Kyle diligently eat his vegetables wondering what this drastic change was. My boy hates vegetables more than anything, but this seems to have always been his favorite meal. **Baby do you like it that much?** “Yes Mom, you are the best cook in the world” I blushed when my usually reserved son had just paid me such a nice compliment. ** Thank you, my heart..** Manuel had red cheeks, his mom is exactly as his father had described her. She is beautiful and sweet, and he also finds her cute. He wanted to have these magnificent freckles on his face but he is already considered the prettiest boy in his school so he'll settle for that degree of beauty. "Hey mum... do you have a boyfriend?" I nearly choked as my son looked at me seriously. He seemed to be waiting for that answer as if his life depended on it, where did that come from? Manuel wanted to be reassured that his mother remained faithful to his father despite the distance and the separation, not that he would
Kyle sat in Manuel's room wondering when his dad...their dad was coming back. He looked at his twin's bedside table and saw the photo of their younger parents. Emma who looked at Michaël with tenderness and the latter who seemed to dedicate a cult of adoration to the girl. He sighed, the man seemed to adore their mother but why did they separate to the point where his mother left in a panic without even imagining that she had made twins and was therefore abandoning a child? Something must have happened, Manuel doesn't know the reason for this separation either, the only thing he told him was that each time his father answered him that it was his fault that his mother was gone. Because he was not up to her. It's way too vague, he needs to know the real details, but if it turns out that it was really because his dad is a bad guy, he'll just find a simple way to protect their mum, and no more hurt his little brother. Manuel also needs their mother, it hurt him to see his brother c
" Dad?" Michael looked at his son not wanting to give him false hope. He knows how much he misses his mother and how much he would like to find his brother, but he just can't tell him that he is going to find his mother and brother without any real hope. So he'll just keep his excitement to himself and go see what's going on in Tartar. "I just got an important call from Tartar, I'm going to have to go on a business trip tonight and..." "Can I come with you?" Michaël bit his lip, each time he had to make this kind of trip, he always took his son with him but this time, he is afraid that Manuel cannot stand the extremely hot climate of Tartar and that he will relapse. Manuel has been in fragile health since birth and he always made sure he got the best treatment. He is not sure that Tartar will have excellent technical platforms like here so he hesitates. "Please Dad..." He doesn't like it when his son looks at him with those big lamb eyes, he can't refuse him anything. "Good
The room was gloomy, all the employees around the meeting table had lowered their heads in fear of their president's cold gaze as he read the pile of documents in front of him. He had put a hand to his cheek studying the data presented to him as the people around waited fearfully for him to speak. He was known to be ruthless and was quick to get rid of people he found unnecessary. He was nicknamed the big devil, nobody wanted to attract his attention, and they did not know what he could do as he was unpredictable. He was only 27 years old but he imposed a charisma and an overwhelming aura so much that no one could retort at his word. The meeting had been going on for four hours and many hadn't even had lunch yet, but they weren't allowed to complain. He doesn't like noise and hates people complaining. This is Michaël Keller, CEO of the Keller-Clark group. Indeed, a few years earlier, Jeanne had had enough of all this business, especially since Victor had decided to join his fa
Jeanne and Fabian arrived with their two children. Fabian was carrying the baby, a little boy and Joshua was holding his mother's hand excited to see Emma's children, but especially Emma. "Ah, I can't believe my baby has become a mother in her turn" "Indeed and to say that she was expecting twins..." “Her fiancé is a pervert” "Honey, who teaches you such bad words?" " I am very clever" Jeanne sighed in front of her son while Fabian just smiled. They arrived in the hospital room finding Michaël in all his states and no trace of Emma, nor the babies “Mica?” Michaël turned away tearfully as he looked at Jeanne guiltily. A few minutes earlier, after reassuring himself that his second son, who was born more fragile than the other, had been examined by the pediatrician, he returned with him to rest him in his crib with his twin brother. But to his great misfortune, Emma was no longer in the room and neither was their son. He panicked seeing papers on the bed, when he became
