Conrad's POVWhen Atasha went home I stayed outside the operating room praying for Veronica's successful operation.Hours feel like days and during those times I am being embraced by fear.When Sebastian finally stepped out of the operating room I immediately stood up to talk to him."How is she?" I immediately asked.Sebastian removed his mask then tapped my shoulder and smiled at me."The operation is successful Conrad," he said.I hugged him quickly when I heard those words.The heaviness in my chest was lifted and I felt like I was freed from fear."She will be transferred to her room. We still have to monitor her," he said then tapped my shoulder once again before leaving.Sebastian looks mad at me when I first saw him but I can say that he is a good doctor. He doesn't involve his personal life to work and he treats everyone equally.After a while, Veronica was transferred to her room as Sebastian told me.Before entering Veronica's room they made me wear gloves and gowns.Upon s
Atasha's POVUpon leaving the hospital I headed straight home.Something seems off with Conrad but I don't have any courage to ask because I might just be overthinking things.After an hour of driving, I arrived at my father's house.Upon stepping inside the house it was extremely quiet."Dad!" I called but no one answered so I started searching every room and that is when I realized they aren't home so I headed to the park and there I saw my father sitting on a swing while watching the twins playing with other kids.I walked towards my father and occupied the swing beside him."You are back early," he said.I simply smiled at him and then nod my head."The kids might be looking for me," I said then focused my attention on the kids."Are you okay?" he asked.I looked at him once again then nod my head."Of course," I responded.My father looked at my face intently then let out a deep breath as if he is worried or something."I want to see you smile again," he said which made me smile.
Atasha's POVMy father looked at me intently but our conversation was interrupted when I heard my phone ring.Upon answering the call I saw Grace's name flashed on the screen."She woke up! Veronica woke up!" she announced the moment I answered the call.My eyes widen. I immediately stood up. My father looked at me completely confused."Why? What is it?" he asked with curiosity laced in his voice."Veronica, she's awake," I uttered filled with happiness."Do you want to go there?" he asked.I looked at him intently and then flashed a small smile before shaking my head."I won't be needed there and besides Veronica and I aren't on good terms," I said.My father nods his head. I sat on the swing once again and continued watching the twins.When they finally noticed my presence they started running towards me and pulled me into a tight hug."Mommy you're here," they happily uttered while hugging me tightly.I hugged them back and kissed them on their cheeks."Did you miss Mommy?" I asked
Conrad's POVVeronica has been awake for an hour now. I told her everything that have happened...every detail including our fight.Veronica simply smiled at me and even apologized for how she acted.She told me that she was hurt at that time and her emotions clouded her judgement.Opposite from what I am expecting Veronica acted like we are still on good terms as if nothing happened between us.I don't know if she is pretending or not but she looks happy for someone who has been betrayed by the person she trusts the most.I watched Veronica intently and when she noticed my stare she smiled at me."What?" she asked with a smile plastered on her face."Are you okay?" I asked. Veronica's eyebrows furrowed and she looks at me completely confused."Yes, why?" she asked.I stared at her face intently."I cheated on you Veronica," I said. Veronica simply nods her head as if it isn't a big deal."I know," she simply uttered then smiled at me."Why are you acting this way?" I asked while looki
Conrad's POVA week had passed and Veronica was discharged from the hospital.Her doctors allowed her to stay at home as long as she will take all the prescribed medicines and she won't force herself to work.Veronica and I agreed that she would stay in my unit while she recovers.She needs someone to take care of her since her body is too weak to do any kind of work."I will get your bed ready," I said then assisted her in sitting on the couch.I headed towards her room and then changed her bed sheet and pillowcases. When I am sure that her room is clean I stepped out and then walked towards the living room where I left her."Your room is clean. You should take a rest while I prepare our lunch," I said.Veronica smiled and then nodded her head.I held her waist and supported her body on standing up.We walked towards her room and when we finally reached it I helped Veronica in lying on her bed."Take a rest," I reminded her and she nod her head like an obedient little kid.I was abou
Conrad's POVAfter explaining everything to Atasha we spend the rest of our time looking at the kids' baby pictures.She even showed me the video of Alison and Asher when they are learning how to walk.I felt tears on the corner of my eyes so I immediately wiped it and then let out a deep breath."Are you okay?" Atasha asked while looking at me suppressing her laugh.I looked at her and then nod my head."They are so cute," I said with a huge smile plastered on my face."Yeah they are, but naughty as well especially Alison," Atasha uttered with a huge smile plastered on her face as well reminiscing the memories."Can I see your pictures when you are pregnant with the twins?" I asked. Her forehead creased when I asked that question."Why?" she asked completely confused."I just want to see what you look like," I said hopeful that she would allow me."I look fat when I am pregnant. My face is puffy. My arms got big," she said. "You are beautiful Atasha. You're body might change but tha
Atasha's POVAs Conrad spent time with the twin's mix of emotions filled my heart. Seeing him interact with our children brought back memories of our life together before everything fell apart. It was both heartwarming and painful at the same time. But I wanted to focus on the present, on rebuilding our family for the sake of our kids.While the twins were engrossed in watching their favourite cartoon, I took a moment to prepare some snacks for everyone. Just as I finished placing the tray on the coffee table, the doorbell rang, interrupting the calm atmosphere."Sebastian!" I exclaimed with a smile as I opened the door. Sebastian flashed a warm smile and then gave me a bouquet which made my forehead crease, completely confused but instead of answering my confusion he simply smiled and stepped inside."I thought I'd drop by to see how you and the kids are doing," he said as we made our way through our living room.As he made his way to the living room, he noticed Conrad sitting on th
I sat on the couch, patiently waiting for Atasha to return. When she finally came back, a smile lit up her face as she took the seat beside me."I'm sorry," she said, gripping my hand gently.I shook my head, indicating that she didn't need to apologize. None of this was her fault. Perhaps Sebastian was right; I was the one to blame. I was the reason Atasha had suffered.I looked directly into Atasha's eyes and shook my head again. "It's not your fault," I assured her.Taking a deep breath, I smiled at her. "I know Sebastian is important to you too. He was there for you when you needed someone to lean on, filling my absence. I understand he holds a special place in your heart... and in our children's lives. I promise I will talk to him and fix this," I said.Atasha studied my face intently, searching for sincerity. After a while, she nodded her head. "Thank you," she said, leaning her head on my shoulder.We stayed in that position for a while, but after a few minutes, I received a
