Nicholas's POV
In the cold, sterile waiting room, the atmosphere was filled with a suffocating silence. Only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard, filling the frozen void of time. Every second felt like a year, and each minute became a long, exhausting journey.I stared at the white walls, trying to find something to divert my thoughts. However, my mind kept returning to Sabrina, to her cheerful face and warm smile. Memories flooded back of the times we laughed together, the beautiful moments before everything changed. As the doctor explained the procedures that needed to be followed, fear began to creep into my heart.The pain she was experiencing was now replaced by uncertainty. This surgery was not just about the physical aspect; it was about the hopes and dreams that were at stake. Would everything go smoothly? Would she return to her former self? These questions spun in my mind, adding weight to my chest.In one corner of the room, aNicholas's POV The first procedure was successful, but the journey ahead is still long. The thought of Sabrina being weak and needing further monitoring makes me anxious. How I wish to be by her side, providing the support and love she needs.The surgery went well. That should be good news, but for some reason, the relief doesn't come entirely. Uncertainty still shrouds my mind, making me feel trapped between hope and fear."Does this mean she will... be okay?" I ask hesitantly, my voice trembling as I say those words.The doctor nods, but his expression shows caution. "We've done our best, but everything depends on Sabrina's recovery process. We need to see how her body responds in the coming days," the doctor replies carefully.That answer stirs a deeper anxiety. Even though the surgery was successful, the future remains full of uncertainty. I feel as if I am at the edge of a cliff, waiting to see if the next step will lead me toward s
Nicholas's POV Those words come from the heart, filled with hope and love. In the silence of the waiting room, I envision her face, the smile that always warms my heart. Thoughts of her give me strength, even as anxiety lingers.With each passing second, I pray that she feels my presence, even though we are separated by space and time. How I wish she knew she is not alone in this struggle. We are all here for her, ready to support her in every way we can.In the silence, I imagined the future when she would recover and we could be together again. Charlie, her, and I—just like before, filled with laughter and happiness. With that thought, I felt a bit more at ease, as if that hope could illuminate the dark path ahead.I knew that no matter what happened, our love would always be the strength that guided her. She had to be strong because we all believed in her.When a nurse told me that I was allowed to see Sabrina, I could only nod withou
Nicholas's POV Time felt like it stopped in that room. I didn't know how long I sat there, just staring at her sleeping face. I felt like there was a huge wall separating us—a wall that only she could break if she chose to come back. I knew I couldn't force her, but I hoped, prayed, begged that she would keep fighting.A nurse came in, checking the medical equipment around Sabrina. She looked at me kindly. "Mr. Nicholas, you can stay a few more minutes. But after that, we need to continue monitoring."I nodded slightly, not wanting to make a fuss. I knew they only wanted what was best for Sabrina. I stood, taking one last look at her face before leaving. "I will be back," I whispered softly, as if giving her a definite promise.As I walked out, I glanced back at her one more time, hoping for a miracle that would make her open her eyes. But she remained silent, lying in a tranquility that made my heart feel heavier. I could only hop
Nicholas's POVThe three of us walked toward the hospital parking area. The fresh morning air slightly helped ease my fatigue. After a few steps, Hazel stopped and turned to me."Your car is still here, right?" she asked."Yes, it is. Wait a moment," I replied as I walked faster toward my car parked not far from there.When we reached the car, I opened the back door for Charlie. He jumped in immediately with his little enthusiasm, his tail wagging with excitement. Watching him run cheerfully made me smile, as if he brought a bit of joy into the heavy atmosphere.Once everyone was inside, I started the engine and adjusted the air conditioning. The vibrating sound of the engine seemed to erase the silence that weighed on our minds. During the drive, we passed familiar streets, but today felt different.Hazel glanced at my car for a moment before finally sitting in the front seat. "You really need to check the condition of this car,
Nicholas's POV That day, the office felt noisier than usual, or maybe it was just my overly sensitive feelings. The sounds of conversations and laughter from my coworkers echoed in my ears, creating a lively atmosphere that was hard to ignore.I sat in the large meeting room with several investors discussing the latest project proposal. In front of me, the projector displayed slides filled with numbers, statistics, and graphs. However, my head felt heavy, and my thoughts were far from all those figures. Every time someone asked a question or gave an opinion, I could only smile while trying to absorb the information, but my heart was not in that place.Worries about Sabrina and her condition in the hospital haunted me. In my mind, I pictured her weak smile and the hope resting on the care she was receiving. Every time the investors spoke, I reminded myself that this was part of my responsibility, but guilt always crept in.I stared at the screen,
Nicholas's POV “Are you okay?” she asked, her tone slightly softer than usual.I nodded, even though it was clearly a lie. “I’m fine, Livia. Thank you.”Even though my words came out calmly, there was a tension I couldn’t hide. Livia looked at me intently, as if she could see deeper than just my smiling face. The anxiety and discomfort crept back, but I tried not to let it show.After a few seconds, Livia nodded, looking a bit hesitant, before continuing. I knew she wanted to ask more, but I was grateful when she chose not to. As she walked away, I refocused on my phone, hoping to receive the news I had been waiting for, even though uncertainty loomed over every moment.She approached, looking at me sharply. “No, you’re not okay. You barely said anything during the meeting earlier. And every five minutes, you check your phone. What’s wrong?”I took a deep breath, leaning back in my chair. “Sabrina... she’s in the hospital. She just h
Nicholas's POV As I approached the door, I hoped to see her smile again, even though everything felt so uncertain right now. My steps felt heavy as I walked through the cold, silent hospital corridor. The white walls, usually unbothering, now felt oppressive, as if they were adding to the burden on my shoulders. Each step intensified my anxiety, and I tried to calm myself before reaching the ICU. At the door, I took a deep breath, gathering my courage before asking the nurse for permission to enter. They provided me with protective clothing and a mask, following strict procedures. After putting on all the gear, the nurse opened the door, and I stepped into the quiet room. Inside the ICU, the atmosphere was heavy. Machines beeped softly, while dim light cast shadows around the bed. Sabrina lay still, surrounded by various medical equipment that continued to emit quiet sounds. Her pale face made me hold m
Sabrina's POVMy vision is still blurry, and my body feels heavy, as if it doesn’t fully belong to me. I’m still trying to understand what happened. This weakness envelops me, making it hard to move. But one thing is clear in front of me: Nicholas's face. He sits beside my bed, his worried expression so real, like someone carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.The room is silent, only the soft ticking of medical equipment can be heard. The antiseptic smell fills the air, adding to my discomfort. Memories of the accident are still blurry, trying to return but always blocked by the fog enveloping my mind.Nicholas remains there, looking at me with full attention, as if he wants to make sure I’m still holding on. His warm hand holds mine, offering a bit of comfort amid the uncertainty surrounding me. The pain in my body reminds me that all of this is real, but in my heart, there’s hope to recover soon and return to the life I left behind.
Sabrina's POV Nicholas came and immediately knelt in front of Charlie, gently holding him shoulders. "Charlie, you can’t just go off on your own like that. This is a strange place, and we were so worried about losing you." Charlie looked down, his voice soft. "I’m sorry, Dad. I didn’t mean to..." I sighed in relief and kissed his forehead. "The important thing is that you’re back now. But next time, don’t go without telling us, okay?" Charlie nodded quickly, his eyes a bit watery. "I promise, Mom." Seeing the moment between Nicholas and Charlie warmed my heart. Our family was the most important thing, and even though this situation made me anxious, our togetherness provided a sense of safety. We had been through so much together, and moments like this reminded me of how meaningful our relationships were. Nicholas gave Charlie a gentle smile, then tur
Sabrina's POV Yet, I held back my feelings, choosing to maintain a polite smile before finally turning to leave with Nicholas. As we walked out of the restaurant, I felt Nicholas's hand grip mine tightly, as if he could sense my unease. I turned to him, and he looked at me for a moment before saying, "Don’t think about him. I’m here." I nodded slightly, trying to calm my mind. But I knew this wasn’t over. After leaving the restaurant, we decided to spend time at the famous amusement park in the city. Charlie looked so excited, holding Nicholas's and my hand while continually asking what ride we would go on first. Once we arrived at the amusement park, the colorful flashing lights welcomed us with a festive atmosphere. The laughter of running children and the cheerful music floating in the air made this place feel so alive. Charlie jumped with joy, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the various rides
Sabrina's POV "Ah, you finally made it. Sabrina, Nicholas, this is my son, Adrian Harrington." Nicholas nodded politely, but I could feel my body tense. Adrian gave me a slight smile before sitting in the empty chair. His eyes bore into me, as if assessing something. His smile didn’t fully convey warmth, and I felt a tension between us. "So, you are Sabrina," he said quietly, his voice carrying something difficult to interpret. I merely nodded and offered a small smile, trying to keep the atmosphere positive. However, deep inside, I felt uncomfortable. There was something in Adrian's gaze that made me feel he knew more than he let on. His sharp eyes seemed to penetrate the outer layer I presented. I struggled not to let that anxious feeling take over, but the mysterious aura around him kept me on guard. My smile felt forced, and I tried to focus on the conversation at the table, even
Sabrina's POV Charlie, who was still sitting next to me, nodded in understanding. He looked worried, but his spirit remained bright. I let out a small laugh and pulled him into a hug, feeling the warmth and genuine love."Alright, Mommy promises to rest."Nicholas gently helped Charlie onto the bed, and I felt relieved to see him lying comfortably beside me. Tonight, I could feel the warmth from my family, something that made me feel much better than any medicine.We lay side by side, and I gazed at Charlie's peaceful face as he began to doze off. In this quiet moment, I reflected on how much they meant to me. The warmth and love that surrounded us created a soothing atmosphere.Before my eyes fully closed, I heard Nicholas whisper softly, “I love you, Sabrina. Rest well.”His words flowed like a calming melody, seeping into the depths of my heart. In that moment, all worries and pain seemed to evaporate, replaced by the warmth of ge
Sabrina's POV Nicholas smiled and ruffled Charlie’s hair. “We’re going for a walk to see the beauty of this city. How about we go see Big Ben and the London Eye?” Charlie’s eyes widened with excitement. “I want to ride the London Eye!” he shouted while jumping up and down. I laughed at his enthusiasm. “Then let’s go before it gets too late.” We walked along the city streets, which were still quite busy. The sound of traffic was faint in the distance, mixed with the laughter and chatter of tourists. The streetlights sparkled, casting beautiful shadows on the wet sidewalk after a light rain that had fallen earlier.When we arrived in front of Big Ben, I paused for a moment, awestruck by the grandeur of the giant clock. The light illuminating the clock tower made it look so majestic and authoritative. I could feel the long history embedded in every detail of its architecture. “Wow, it’s so big!” Charlie looked up high, trying to take in the entire

Sabrina's POV I chuckled at his chocolate-smeared face. His wide smile made me feel happy. I took a tissue from my bag and wiped his cheeks. “Be careful eating, sweetheart. You’ll get your clothes dirty.” Charlie just laughed, seeming not to care much about my warning.

Before leaving, he turned back to us. “I’ll call when I’m done.” I nodded. “Take care!”Once he left, the atmosphere in the room felt quieter. However, I tried not to let the silence bother me.
