Sabrina's POV

When I arrived home, the silence enveloped me as soon as I opened the door. The darkness of the room felt more depressing than usual as if the house was feeling my emotional exhaustion. I turned on the lights, hung my bag near the door, then took off my shoes in slow motion.

Every corner of the room was so familiar, yet it felt empty. I walked towards the sofa and let myself fall on it, my tired body leaning back while my thoughts drifted back to Charlie. His image kept ringing, his innocent smile when I gave him the robot earlier, his cheerful laughter when we played, and his satisfied face after eating ice cream. It was all like a beautiful dream that ended too quickly.

In that silence, the ticking sound of the wall clock seemed to be a reminder of the time that continued to pass, while I was trapped in memories. Charlie was the light in my life, a light that seemed like it would never go out. But now, all that was left was a shadow, and ev

    Sabrina's POV Slowly, I put the photo back in its place. My body was getting weaker, and finally, I let my eyes close again. I don't know what will happen tomorrow, but tonight, I can only survive by embracing my longing for Charlie, hoping that I am strong enough to keep fighting. In the silence of the night that permeated, the image of Charlie continued to haunt my mind. He had always been the light of my life, and without him, the darkness felt even thicker. With every passing second, the feeling of loss was like a cut in my heart. I remembered his cheerful laughter, the times we played in the park, and how he could always make me smile, even on the hardest days. Now, all that was left was a suffocating memory. These hands that were once filled with warmth now felt cold and empty. I gripped the blanket tightly, trying to find comfort in this pain. "Charlie, I promise I will keep fighting," I said to myself. "I will use every precious second you

    Sabrina's POV With a deep breath, I resolved not to let myself sink any deeper. If not for myself, then maybe for Nicholas, who despite his strong appearance, also harbored deep worries. Wherever this path took me, I had to try to get up, at least to lessen the burden that I had been carrying for far too long. That morning, I woke up with a body that felt much heavier than usual. My body temperature was getting higher, my head was throbbing, and my throat was as dry as a desert. I felt cold sweat soaking my body, but I forced myself to sit up in bed. I glanced at the bedside table, where the glass I had used to drink from the night before lay. I glanced at it; it was empty. The burning thirst in my throat forced me to get up. With faltering steps, I tried to stand, but my knees immediately felt weak. I braced myself, grabbing the wall to support my body. It felt like every step was a struggle, but I knew I had to reach the kitchen. I pus

    Nicholas's POV The words were like lightning striking my chest. Cancer? Leukemia? Aggressive phase? I felt the whole world stop for a moment, trying to process what the doctor had just said.“Cancer?” I mumbled almost inaudibly. “She never… she never told me.”The doctor nodded slowly. “That happens often. Many patients choose to keep their condition a secret, even from those closest to them.” He continued in a more assertive tone. “Sabrina has also missed her last two chemotherapy appointments, which should be crucial to her condition. Skipping such treatments could speed up the progression of the disease.”I closed my eyes, trying to calm the turmoil that was roiling inside me. “Will she be okay now?” I asked, almost pleading.“We’ve given her initial treatment to control the infection and stabilize her condition. But this is not a long-term solution. Sabrina must continue her chemotherapy, and it must be done immediately. If she

    Nicholas' POV“I was so stupid,” I muttered, mostly to myself. “I was too wrapped up in myself, in my job, in... Hazel. I was blind, Sabrina. I was blind to all the pain you were going through.”I closed my eyes, trying to hold back the tears that were finally falling uncontrollably. “I should have been the first person you trusted. But I didn’t even know you were fighting something this big. I didn’t know how hard it was for you to walk every day. Instead, I blamed you, made you feel worthless...”I took a deep breath, but my chest felt tight. “I’m sorry, Sabrina. I’m sorry for everything I’ve done or not done. If I had known, I wouldn’t have left you alone like this. I would never have let you fight alone.” The sound of the medical equipment kept ticking as if a constant reminder that time was ticking. I rubbed her hand slowly, begging her to wake up, so I could fix everything. I don't know if she heard me or not. But I swore to mysel

    Nicholas's POV I loved her more than anything in this world, and that would never change. I felt her faint heartbeat, trying to reconnect with the strength that once was. Gently, I held her hand tighter, hoping that my touch would bring a little warmth and hope amidst this darkness. “Sabrina,” I whispered, “I’m here. We’ll get through this together.” I stared at her pale face, trying to find any sign that she was listening. Deep in my heart, I believed that little by little, she would come back to me. Together, we will face all these fears, and our love will be the bridge to cross every obstacle.I held her hand again, my rough fingers touching her cold skin.“Sabrina, please wake up,” I whispered, almost like a prayer. “Charlie needs you. I… I need you too.”The silence in the room was oppressive. Only the thrumming of the medical machines could be heard, as if time had stopped between each faltering breath. My heart pounded, fighting

    Sabrina's POV Nicholas looked surprised when his phone suddenly vibrated. From where I lay, I saw him staring at his phone screen with an expression that was hard to decipher. There was a mix of worry and confusion on his face. My mind wandered. What was happening outside this room? Was there bad news? I hoped it wasn’t news that would stress Nicholas out even more. He had already endured so much, and I didn’t want him to feel even more burdened. I noticed that Nicholas didn’t pick up his phone. Deep in my heart, I hoped he could find the strength to stay strong like he always did for me. “Why didn’t you pick up?” I asked, my voice weak, but enough to make him turn to me. He shook his head slowly. “It’s nothing important,” he said simply, trying to hide something behind his tone. But I knew there was something wrong. “Just pick up,” I insisted, even though my body was still weak. “It might be important.” Nicholas

    Sabrina's POV Nicholas looked at me immediately, as if he was just waiting for his name to come back to my side. “What? Do you need something?” he asked quickly. I shook my head slowly. “No. I just…” I paused for a moment, trying to find the right words. “I never thought you’d be this worried.” He looked surprised, then took a deep breath. “How could I not be worried, Sabrina?” he replied in a low but emotional tone. “You were so sick, and I didn’t know anything. You even missed your medication. How could you think I wouldn’t care?” His words were like a slap to me. I knew he was right. All this time, I had always thought that our marriage was just a formality, something that didn't involve deep feelings. But seeing Nicholas like this, I realized that I had underestimated him. He wasn't just my husband on paper; he was someone who loved and fought for me. Every beat of his heart, every worried look, showed how deep our bond was, even tho

    Sabrina’s POVNicholas pulled his chair closer to my bed. His face was serious, but there was no sign of anger or irritation. There was only sadness in his eyes. He raised his hand as if he wanted to take mine but hesitated.“I just want to know how you feel,” he said softly. His voice was soft as if he was afraid of hurting.I stared at him, trying to absorb every word that came out of his mouth. “I… don’t know,” I answered honestly. “There’s so much going on.”Nicholas sighed, nodding slowly. “We can talk about it. I’m here for you.”His words warmed my heart, and though the pain I felt was still there, his presence provided some comfort.“Sabrina, listen to me,” he said in a soft but firm tone. “I know I’m not perfect. I know I haven’t been paying attention to you as much as I should have. But don’t ever think that I’m here because I have to. I choose to be here. For you.”His words brought tears to my eyes again.

    Hazel's POV I took a deep breath again, trying to remain patient amidst Charlie's endless whining. It felt difficult to face his emotional outbursts while my own heart struggled with a mix of guilt and worry.“Charlie, Mommy understands. This is hard,” I said gently, pulling him closer. “But we have to trust the doctors and hope for the best for Mommy Sabrina.”He looked at me with tear-filled eyes, and I could feel the depth of his loss.

I stood up, carrying Charlie, who was still sniffling, and walked toward the receptionist."Excuse me," I said to the woman behind the desk. The middle-aged woman looked at me with a small smile, though it was clear she noticed Charlie's tear-stained face.I could feel the attention of those around us, but I tried not to care. The most important thing right now was Charlie.

I prayed we would soon find hope regarding Sabrina's condition."Charlie, sweetheart, listen to Mommy," I said again, trying to be gentler. "Mommy Sabrina can't meet you right now. She needs to rest so she can get better."Charlie shook her head vigorously, her face reddening from crying too long. "I want Mommy Sabrina!" she said again, her voice almost hoarse.Seeing her like that, my heart ached even more. I knew how deep her love and hope for Sabrina were. I struggled to hold back tears, praying that I could provide solace even though I felt fragile myself."Charlie," I said, trying to affirm, "Mommy Sabrina wants you to be healthy and happy.

Seeing him cheerful again lightened my heart. Occasionally, I stole glances at the wall clock, counting the passing time.In my mind, I hoped everything would be alright.

Although I was angry, I knew this was an important moment to teach about responsibility and empathy.
