It's been four days since the kidney transplant was done, and since then, Nathan with Kimberly has decided to stay at his apartment. And, like always, he wakes first with something heavy on his shoulder. He smiles as he sees his wife sleeping like an angel. He can't help staring at her longer; Kimberly is already two months pregnant. In the past few days, he realizes that she truly loves him, not for the reason Andy told him."Thank you." He whispers and kisses her forehead gently."She loves me for real." He thought when suddenly she opened her eyes."Good morning, honey." He greeted."What time is it?!" She asked."Seven, I'm about to wake you.""Let's just take a bath together." She said as she rose."My pleasure." He grins."Stop kidding me." She snaps."I'm not." He shakes his head, pretending to be a cute little boy, and she can't help to pinch his cheeks."I told you! You're cute!" She pinches harder."Ouch! Enough honey, it hurts." He rubs his cheeks."I love you, honey." She
"Come on, Sweetie, just stay for more minutes." Nathan's mother said as she was rubbing Kimberly's belly."I'm excited to have a grandchild." She added."Mom___" Nathan stops because his phone rings."Excuse me." He stood and kissed Kimberly. "I'll just answer this." He whispered and went out."Henry, what's up?""Are you going to drop here?""Yea, later; we just had dinner with Mom and Dad.""I guess I have to tell this to you first since Kimberly, for all we know, is pregnant___.""What is it?""Mrs. Aston's body starts to reject the transplanted kidney.""What do you mean? We were there this morning, and she looks pretty well. Why all of a sudden?""I guess she knew she needed to lie before her pregnant daughter.""So, how's it going to be?" He sighs before speaking."I already coordinated for another kidney donor, and I must remind you that everything I did for this is expensive; you should check your bank account."It doesn't matter! Just do it about the kidney. Is that possible,
Author's note: Regarding this kidney transplant thing. I'm unsure if a colon cancer patient can have a transplant or if there are already cases like this. It only came from my imagination to enhance Nathan's character as do-anything-for-love! I Googled it but didn't find the answer, so if you find it unrealistic, sorry! I want to include this. You'll find it why at a long, far, ahead ending.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 37 – His sacrificeNathan decided that they should go back to Will and Grill restaurant. It is for Kimberly to have someone to look after while his gone for his plan as the kidney donor."Honey?" Kimberly was awakened as he laid her on the bed."Hi!" He smiles."Why are we here?" She asks while turning her sight around their room."Don't you miss the restaurant?" He lay beside her."Yes, but you said I should rest in handling the restaurant while I'm pregnant. Do you want me to work back?" She was grinning but worried."NO! Of course not. I want someone, lik
Mrs. Aston's kidney transplant result was much better. Her body suppressed the strange feeling after surgery. Nathan's kidney had matched very well. But still, she must stay in the hospital for more weeks to fully recover and at the same time continue her therapy.However, the result was not as good for Nathan as Henry predicted. Nathan needs to stay longer because his immune system senses the unequal balance, which the doctor from the kidney department explained. He needs to take a lot of drugs to restrain it, especially pain relievers and other medications to treat his other health problems.Henry had been staying with Nathan for two weeks now; he accompanied him and, as much as possible, got used to hearing Nathan's excruciating yell. At the same time injects him with pain relievers and antibiotics."Doctor Henry, I'll be going now." Carlo was Nathan's personal nurse; he informed me late that evening."Ya! Thanks, bro!""Anytime, Doc; I'll extend my hours tomorrow so you can rest."
Henry had no choice but to go to the operating room since it was an emergency. At the same time, Kimberly traveled eight hours to reach Manchester. She arrived at two in the afternoon the next day.At the airport, a not-so-old woman in a formal suit approaches her."Mrs. Kimberly Conner, I'm Diane Harrison, Supervisor for the Manchester Amusement Park project; please to meet you, Madam." tThe woman politely introduces herself."Thank you, my pleasure to meet you too. Can we go now to the amusement park?" Kimberly was in a hurry."Madam, perhaps you need some rest first at the hotel?" Diane was suggested."No, I'm fine. I already slept on the plane." She refused."Are you sure, Mad___" Kimberly quickly cut Diane?"Yes, can we go now?" She insisted."If that's what you want, madam, this way, please." Diane was puzzled by Kimberly's persistence to go to the site quickly. But then she obeyed since Kimberly was the wife of her boss.They had to travel six more hours to their destination.
"Yes? Who's this?" Henry answers the unregistered number on his phone."Doctor Henry!""Andy?!""Doc, I rushed Kimberly to the hospital.""Where? I'm at the ER right now; where exactly?" Henry was terrified."Mayhem General Hospital.""Why not here?""She's bleeding____""What!? I'll be there in a minute!" Henry ended the call and rushed to his car. Andy went back to Kimberly's bedside."Please don't let my baby die." She cried, and the stretcher pushed inside the operating room.A few minutes passed, and the nurse approached Andy with a waiver."Sir, you need to sign this." The nurse politely instructed."What's that?""We must take out the baby; the bleeding is serious; both might die." She explained."What?!" Andy was horrified. He didn't know what to do but signed the waiver."Sorry." He whispers in pain.Henry arrives after half an hour."What happened?" Henry asked Andy as he sat outside the operating room bench."They need to take out the baby.""You agree?""No other choice!"
Kimberly had to stay for another two days at the hospital for medical purposes."Honey, Andy texted that Mom got home yesterday." She starts while Nathan is packing her things."That's good." He smiles."Can we just stay at your apartment?" She requested."Why? Don't you want to see mom?" Nathan was puzzled."She'll worry." Kimberly turned sad."It will be fine. I'll explain it to her." He reaches for her hand."But__" She insists."It's alright, don't worry." He smiles.So as Nathan decided, they went home to Will and Grill Restaurant. Mrs. Aston was already at the entrance waiting as the car stopped in front of the gate."Mom!" Kimberly called excitedly as she saw her mother in the wheelchair and gave her a tight hug."Kimberly, I'm so sorry, baby." Her mother cried while rubbing her face."Don't worry, baby. It's alright; you can still have another child, right?" She added."How did you know, Mom?" Kimberly was puzzled."Andy told me he was so worried." Mrs. Aston answers. Nathan c
As Nathan quietly sat at the tub's edge, his wound was in pain again. He felt like it was reopened, so he called Henry."Yes, what is it?" the other line asked."There's something happened..." he started."What?!" Henry was worried like always."Kimberly accidentally sat on my abdomen and hit my wound...""What! Are you crazy? I told you to be careful! Can't you wait to have sex___""Fuck it, Henry... I wanted my wife so much; resisting her is more painful!" he interrupted."Then tell her the truth!?""Henry, please....""Fine! If you don't want to tell her you're the donor, then lie since you are very good at it!""How?""Just tell her you to undergo an operation, like removing your appendix instead of your kidney...""Is that possible?!""Yes! She needs to know and see your wound, or it will reopen, leading to infection. Do you understand!""Okay, thanks for the idea! You're always the savior, man!" Then he hung up and stayed longer thinking.****"What is wrong with him? After this
"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... Since it involve her ex-husband whom she truly lo
"Nathan___" Henry speaks again but Nathan quickly dial his phone."I need security, NOW!" he shouted."For heaven sake Nathan, would you please listen?!" Henry said almost shouting."Listen! You have no idea what happen__" but Nathan didn't stop shouting."I know! I already knew!" Henry shouted back."So you're on his side now ha! Henry?" Nathan glared."Sir Nathan?" then there's a knock at the door."Take this man out!" Nathan commanded at the guard pointing at Andy."No! Let go off me!" Andy struggled. "I just wanted to talk!" he added."What's going on here?" Mr. Conner senior came out as the commotion was very loud."Uncle, I'm glad you came." Henry felt a bit ease."Let go off him." Mr. Conner order as he saw Andy struggling with the security."So here we go again... you won't listen to me Dad even if I want that shit out of here!" Nathan mocked."Watch your word Nathan!' his father warne
