As water from the shower continues falling on their naked bodies, Nathan put his hands on her cheeks."Sorry about what I said, but I said it's "IF," I didn't mean anything bad.""But____""You don't need to worry; remember what I promised you last night?" She nods."Just keeps that in mind and stop being so paranoid!""I just can't help to worry because of your reactions.""Me!?" Nathan point to himself."Even though you didn't speak about it. I can see it in your eyes! I'm not stupid!" She said, a bit hurt."I know you're not; I just don't want you to cry again like last night and ask me stupid questions. Like, what if you leave me? Remember?" Her eyes widen. Yes, she remembers! And even remember Andy's real identity."See? Something bothers you, but you don't tell me." He continued as he saw her reaction."No, it's not like it. It's just that." She was still hesitant to tell him about Andy."That's why I asked you if mom can't make it because I have to prepare myself on how I will
Nathan shook his head as he released her and leaned back on the driver's seat."Nathan, I just want to know if you're like this with your girlfriends." She asked softly."Like what?!""Giving me everything." She stared at him longer. Nathan firmly grabs her legs and waist, carrying her to sit on his lap and face him."Nathan!" It shocked her that she shouted. She was amazed how he could grab her like that so quickly. He took her face in his and whispered."You are the most wonderful, greatest love I have.""You mean__," She said while crossing her arms around his neck again."Yes, I've never been like this before, even with Anne or any other girlfriends I had." He answered as he pressed his forehead to hers."Thank you." She looked at him and reached his lips, kissing him softly, sweetly, and passionately."I love you, Nathan; you're my first love and hope to be my last." She said softly while touching his face."Of course, I will be your last! Don't expect someone else!" He hissed, m
"Nathan," Henry called."What happened to you, Nathan?" Mrs. Aston asked."Nothing, Mom, about the operation___""You and Kimberly are just the same. You are both persistent. That's why you're suited for each other." Still trying to be okay, Mrs. Aston laughed again while Henry smirked."Ya, Mrs. Aston's right!" Henry chuckled."Henry!" Nathan scolded his best friend"Fine, I'll try that operation.""Really?!" Henry and Nathan chorus and she nods."I know that both of you will push me even if I say no. So I think I'll wait for the donor and agree, right?"On the other hand, Kimberly cried again as she listened to Doctor Rebecca.Honestly, she doesn't understand why she has become too sensitive lately."Kimberly, it's impossible for Nathan to find a donor in a day. Everything has to undergo a clear-cut examination and testing for match-making. We can't just remove it and put it right over your mother's kidney." The doctor explained."But Nathan can do it! I trust him!" She insists."I
Nathan went to every hospital his secretary gave regarding kidney transplants. His third try was at the Department of Kidney Transplant."Sir, I'm sorry, but we have rules here. Every recipient must undergo a medical evaluation, showing a record of a good candidate for transplant." The nurse in the information booth starts."She's a cancer patient. Here kindly take a look at this. It's some of her records." Nathan explains."Well then, Sir, we'll place her on the transplant program's waiting list, evaluate and probably receive a kidney from a deceased donor.""How long will it take?""She'll have to wait depending on many things, but it is primarily determined by the degree of matching between her and the donor. Some wait several years for a good match, while others get matched within a few months." The nurse explains."She's dying. We need it as soon as possible. I'm willing to pay!""I'm sorry, Sir, but it's impossible. Unless she has a family member, a spouse, parents, or siblings
"Goodnight, honey." Nathan kisses her forehead as Kimberly presses herself on his broad chest."Sleepy?" She asked."A bit, you?""Not yet.""Do you want me to get you a glass of milk?" He bends his head to look at her."No. But, can we?" She speaks a bit shyly."What?" Nathan already caught what she meant.He wants to laugh, thinking she's been naughty these past few days. But his more excited to hear her following words."Can you kiss me goodnight?!" She blushes as she answers."But I already did." He said, grinning."Hmpf... I want it on my lips!" She pouts.Nathan couldn't help but smile widely and roll his body over her."Why suddenly you are so sweet?!" He continued grinning while their faces were an inch away from each other."I want a kiss." But even she continued pouting."Fine then, your wish is my command, honey." He said, taking possession of her lips and kissing her long and passionately.Kimberly surrounds her arms his neck and holds his hair, which makes their kisses in
Trivia: Goulash is a traditional Hungarian food; it is a soup or stew of meat, noodles, and vegetables, especially potatoes, seasoned with paprika and other spices.Chapter 31 – GoulashKimberly and Nathan are back to back with each other silently as Andy leaves. Until he stood and left without a word, she followed him quietly. She had no strength to speak, shocked to see him violently act like their first meeting. He walks back upstairs and straight to their room. He picked up a towel and went inside the bathroom while she remained sitting down on the bed, a bit scared."Damn it!" Nathan cussed and punched the wall so hard that he got bruises."Why it was so easy for me to get affected whenever it came to her feelings!" He was so desperate, punching the wall over and over again.After a few minutes, he left the bathroom with a towel around his waist, dried himself, and wore his clothes.Kimberly was still quiet. She still had no idea how to react. Nathan's actions were like their fir
Meanwhile, Kimberly was now worried. She thought that Nathan was still mad about what had happened earlier. He didn't text or call back even though she did it many times. At the same time, Doctor Henry didn't want to show her test result yesterday or tell her if she could be a donor. Thinking about everything outside the ICU, her tears fell again; she couldn't help it! She's too sensitive and emotional for so many reasons."Kimberly." She felt a hand on her shoulder."Doctor Henry?""You're crying again. Stop it, okay? It's not good for your health and for your____.""Nathan is mad at me." She interrupts louder."Let's go to my office." Henry helped her stand, thinking they might catch people's attention since she was crying heavily."Tell me what happens?""They fought early this morning." She sniffed."Fight?""Yes! Nathan and Andy were hitting each other when I went to the office." She continued with another sniff."Okay." Henry just said, waiting for her to move on with the story.
"Yo! Nathan?" Henry had to wave one hand in front of Nathan's face to get attention."She's what?!" He asked, still in a state of shock."Pregnant! As in, you're going to be a father!""Really?! I'm going to be a father!?" Nathan's eyes remain to widen."How many times will I have to repeat it?" While Henry frowns."SHE'S PREGNANT!! I'M GONNA' BE A FATHER!?!" He shouted and stood in excitement."I can't believe this!!! She's pregnant; perhaps that's why she acts strange lately." He continued enthusiastically."Like I was expecting. Your reaction is remarkable!" Henry smirked."Wait!?!!" Nathan suddenly froze."What???" Henry puzzle."We..... we.... just... do....it... last... night...." Nathan hesitantly said in a soft voice."Is it safe?!?" He added, feeling awkward that Henry laughed."It's normal; the baby was not yet fully developed, even if it was. It's fine as long as you're careful!" Henry paused and winced at him."F#ck! I should not be the one telling you this!" He cussed, an
"I'm not a God, Kimberly." He was frustrated."But you should at least wait for me to wake before you buried her..." she insists."It was A____" Nathan paused as he thought it would be better if she didn't learn that it was Andy who decided it until she gave birth. He don't want her to get mad at Andy with her condition right now. "Sorry... but it's been a week, your mom suffered for almost six years... I just thought that it was not right to let her suffer more." Nathan still took all the responsibility in blaming himself for everything that happened."I hate you for doing that! I hate you because you didn't give me the chance to mourn for my mom." Kimberly was a bit mad."Sorry..." he repeated."If only my first customer in the pub house was not wealthy as you...I guess it will be easy for me to accept that mom died because of another reason... if you haven't found me that rainy night with those guys who paid for me ___" she speaks in pain more.
They were both quiet as they left alone. Kimberly's eyes are on the floor while Nathan stares at her feeling so hurt and guilty."Where are the divorce papers?" she asked still not looking at his face."Here" he handed to her the envelope."Where would I sign?""Kimberly, why don't we go out for dinner first?" Nathan changed the topic."Sorry, but I can't go anywhere else... the doctor advice me to stay in bed." She refused/"I'll just call for delivery, what do you want to eat?" he offered."Nothing... thank you, is this where I sign?" she repeated the question."You should eat first." He insists."Please!" her tone raised and finally glance at his sad eyes that weaken her as tears fell suddenly on her cheeks."Kimberly..." Nathan kneels down in front of her."Why? Why did you choose her? You said you'll wait__" she cried."What do you mean?" Nathan strokes her face, wiping her tears."
"How are you? Did you visit her?" Henry started."I can't. I must obey Doctor Isaac, it's for Kimberly sake." Nathan shakes head while staring nowhere."I don't think so." Henry disagreed so Nathan glance at him."She's so mad at me Henry...giving back everything I gave her." Nathan sighed."How about your kidney? Did you tell her about it? Can she bring it back?" Henry retorted."Henry___" Nathan was surprised, he almost forget about it."C'mon Nathan, she just can't leave you... yes you're an idiot but you almost gave everything only for her." He insists."It's because I love her... I love her all my life... I've never love anyone else like this before__" Nathan said sadly."I know, that's why I want you to visit Kimberly... you deserve to be with her...you just need to explain your side.""But how about Andy?""You don't have to say anything about Andy...just tell her about the charitable institution was only you and y
After injecting sedative on Kimberly she fall back to sleep and Andy started asking Henry about Kimberly's condition. But before he could speak Nathan was calling him over the phone."See you at my office." He said. "It's Nathan and he was asking the same question. Let's go." He added and they walk back to his office."What happened Henry?" Nathan quickly ask as they enter the room."We need to call back the Psychiatrist. Perhaps it's the ASD symptoms. All I can say right now is she still not in good shape." Henry speaks sadly."But yesterday were okay. She even asked me to sleep beside her." Nathan asked."Yes, yesterday was a miracle but as you can see a while ago it's different... she was still scared of you. The trauma is still right there." Henry explained."So what should we do?" Andy asked."Like I said she need to see the Psychiatrist again, it's the best way we can do now." Henry answered."But what if I tell her the t
Knock knock knock"Excuse me Sir Nathan." Amy enters the room. "Sir your ticket to Manchester arrived." She politely said."Cancel the flight." Nathan commanded. "Are you guys coming with me?" He turned to Henry and Andy."Thank you." Andy offers his hand to Nathan. "Brother." He added."I'll make up to you for all the trouble I caused you...one day... because right now, she needs us." Nathan politely answered and take Andy's hand shake."Finally." Henry blurred out."I'll pick up your mom first, will just follow you at the hospital." Mr. Conner said.The three of them decided to ride on Henry's car together."Andy, I'm curious about what happen to the calling card Mr. Xander gave you? Did you find the person?" Henry asked as he was driving the car. Andy was at the backseat while Nathan glance at Henry since he was quiet beside him."I did my best to contact the person until I memorize the numbers, however I got tired of
Kimberly gently open her eyes as the sun rise and the rays gently touches her skin.."WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" she shouted terrifying both Andy and Nathan."What happened Kimberly?" Nathan was shocked and about to reach her as she was standing near the window."DON'T COME NEAR ME!" she shouted again."Kimberly?!' Andy run quickly towards her."Andy... why is he here? He's a monster..." she cried and embraced him tightly."What's happening?" the door open and it was Henry and Meagan."Why is he here? I don't want to see him Andy? I don't want to see him!?" she continued now shaking."Nathan, I think you should go." Henry suggested."But..." Nathan was still puzzled on the way Kimberly act."But Doctor Henry__" even Andy was confused but Henry shakes his head to stop him from talking."Leave now, Nathan." Henry said in command and all Nathan could do is to sighed."Give her sedative." Henry whispered

"Dad?!" Nathan turned to his father with a questioning stare."Nathan, perhaps you were really young when you are with Xander... that you didn't notice the resemblance..." his father speaks in pain. "The first time I met Andy at the hospital I thought Xander was reincarnated, he look exactly like him... a carbon copy..." his father explain."Does Kimberly knows about this?" Nathan asked to Andy."Yes, I threaten her before you got married that I will tell mom the truth about my identity___" Andy said but Nathan interrupts."Why didn't she tell me? She knew how jealous I am to you." Nathan felt unease."Kimberly wanted Mom first to know... we already talk about it when she get back alone from your honeymoon." Andy explained."But Jesebelle gets in the way and she run to Mrs. Aston and tell everything." Henry speaks again. "But I don't think that the news will cause Mrs. Aston's heart attack...
