Ryan rushed into the hospital. He glanced left and then right. He sighted Patricia and ran to meet her. “Where is he?” He inquired. His worried voice matched the expression on his face.

‘’Can I go inside?" He asked, and without waiting to hear a response from her, he took a step forward.

“If I’m allowed inside, do you think I will be there?” She flung a question which made his legs to freeze. She lifted her head and explained. “The doctors are still attending to him. They asked me to wait here and pray everything will go well.”

Ryan chuckled and sluggishly turned to face her. His eyes land on her body and he cracked again. “Only if they know how much you hate him…” he uttered. He paused for a second, giving Patricia a space to raise her gaze and looked at his face.

“What do you mean?” She flung a question.

Ryan scoffed. “Stop pretending like you don’t know what I’m talking about?” He spoke to her rudely. “Don’t you hate me so much that is present disgusts you,”

He looked away from her

    Two hours later…A nurse ran out of the emergency room and Patricia quickly stood and ran to meet her. She has been nervous and feeling unrest, wishing she could break into the room to check how Cohen was doing, but Ryan was there with her and consoled her the whole hour.“How’s he now?” She asked and Ryan also arrived behind her and directed a question to the nurse.“How’s his health now?”The nurse paused. She filled her lips with an assuring smile and reported. “He’s gradually responding to treatment now. There’s a change, and he is getting better, but you can’t go in yet because the doctors are still with him.”Patricia nodded. “Okay, thanks,” she uttered and wanted to clear his curiosity. “But please, what’s wrong with him? Why did he collapse?”“I can’t report on that, but I believe the doctor will let you know once they are out. Just wait for Doctor Kelvin. They’ve run tests for him and the results are out already. He will explain to you better.” The nurse said and without wait

    “Take it easy with yourself, Patricia…” Ryan consoled, trying to make Patricia stand on her feet; she has fell to the ground and weep, resenting herself for refusing to listen to Cohen until things got worse.With tears flowing to her mouth, Patricia clung to her dress on the chest and shook her head. “I didn’t know all these are happening to me. I never knew he was passing through all this. He looks normal to me.” She poured out.Ryan rounded his arms on her head and placed her head on her chest. “Don’t blame yourself, Patricia. It was never your fault as well. What will be will be. If all these are not meant to happen, they won’t. Just take it easy. Don’t you hear what the doctor said?” He threw a question, trying to console her. “The said there’re probability of things to turn out positivity. Why don’t you let us hold on to the positive one?”“Weeping won’t solve the issue now. Stop doing these and start praying he will be fine.” He uttered and gently dragged her to stand on her fee

    Patricia entered the room and Cohen bolted upright in bed, gasping for air. His skin was clammy and he was sweating on the brows.She banged the door and rushed to the bedside with her eyes widened in shock. “Cohen! Cohen! Cohen!” She called in a raised voice. Her body shivered and she stretched out her hand, attempting to touch him, but she retreated because she was scared and confused and didn’t know the right thing to do.“Cohen! Cohen!” She called and observed him for a moment. Her lips began quivering and she couldn’t utter a word anymore.After a few seconds of watching his muscles tense, Patricia’s mouth freed. “Doctor!” She shouted and Cohen grabbed her hand as she turned around to run out to call for help.“Hun!” She exclaimed with widened eyes as she veered around back to him and called his name in a low voice. “Cohen.”“Patricia! Patricia! Patricia!” Cohen spoke from his sleep, shaking his head rapidly with the transparency of fear in his expression. “Please, don’t leave me.

    Patricia entered the room at the same time Cohen walked out of the bathroom. “You’re awake?” She uttered in a questioning manner, pacing to the bed director with a cup of warm tea in her hand. She arrived beside the bed and placed the cup of tea on the cabinet beside the bed.“Yes. I felt dizzy, so I went to wash my face with cool water if that will change anything,” Cohen explained, walking back to the bed. He arrived at the bedside, walked to the other side, and sat at its edge with his feet touching the floor.She paced to his front and touched his forehead with the back of the palm. “So, how’s it now?” She inquired, taking her hand off him. “Hope you’ve felt better now?”Cohen joggled his head, wearing a light beam. “Yes, I am,” he responded. He stopped smiling and raised a question. “Williams, how is he now?”Patricia tightened her lips and nodded. “He is fine,” she informed and explained. “Stopped at his room to check on him. He insisted I wait to feed him since I was around, so

    “Depressed pushed me to take this pain killer and it started on our wedding night.” Cohen disclosed.“Hun!” Patricia exclaimed with her face furrowed. Her eye blinked twice and she spoke with a stammered voice. “Wh…what… what are you talking about, Cohen? Why will you start taking a painkiller on our wedding night?”Cohen discharged a deep breath. “Patricia, do you remember when we wanted to go to bed on our wedding night, and I received a message that I didn’t want to check but you insisted I should check it?” He flung a question.Patricia joggled her head. “Yes, I remember,” she let out. “And you rushed out. You came late that day and refused to explain when you came home the next day.”Cohen sniffed. “That night, I received pictures of you and Victor, your ex, naked on the same bed…” He revealed.Patricia’s eyes enlarged, shocked. “Hun!” She exclaimed. “A picture of me and Victor on the bed?!”Cohen joggled his head. “Yes, Patricia,” he confirmed and a drop of tear fell from his eye

    “Patricia, be sincere. Whose fault is it that all these happened?” Cohen threw a question.Patricia sniffed and bit her lower lip, shaking her head in negativity. “I don’t know, Cohen,” she spoke with tears flowing to her mouth. “I don’t know who else to blame if not Anna. I don’t know.”Cohen sighed and nodded. “Yeah, it was Anna,” he backed her up. He stopped nodding and shook his head in opposition. “You may not accept it, Patricia, but it wasn’t entirely Anna’s fault. You caused almost everything. It started with you telling her everything about it. Whatever I said to you must be narrated to her. You would show her everything I got for you. Patricia, I don’t know who Anna was before but maybe all you did made her envy you,”“Maybe your reckless acts back then sowed a seed of hatred in her. It may be the cause of her greediness.” He made a point.Patricia chuckled lightly and gave him a side stare. “You are supporting her, right?” She threw a question in a low voice. She cracked up

    “I’m a murder!” Cohen proclaimed. His face cast downward. “I married Anna because I’m a killer and I need to make her stay beside me so my darkest secret will be safe.” “Hun!” Patricia exclaimed, slightly moving her bottom to the left a little. She fixed her eyes on Cohen, who couldn’t lift his gaze to look at her in the face. She slowly raised her right hand until it pointed directly at him. “You… you…” She wanted to talk, but her voice stammered. She licked her lips and took a deep breath to calm herself, and she was finally able to split out her mind. “you’re a killer?!” She asked with a raise voice. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and stared at the door, hoping no one heard her and since she didn’t see a trace of anyone, she resorted her gaze back to him and asked. “What are you talking about?’ “What did you mean you’re a killer? Who did you kill? How did it happen? How did Anna come into it? Where were you going?” She stormed him with questions, wishing she wo

    “Have you ever asked yourself… did the homeless man really died? What if it was all staged by her?” Patricia made a point.Cohen furrowed his face, confused. “What do you mean, Patricia?” He threw a question.Patricia scoffed. “Don’t you still get it, Cohen?” She uttered in a questioning manner. She sighed and split out. “It’s clear who Anna is. You already know her true color. She has everything planned from the beginning so, maybe the accident was part of her plans as well…”“I’m uncertain about it, but I have a doubt the accident just happened. Everything back then wasn’t just w coincidence. It was Anna all along. She made everything up and joined them together. She must have schemed the accident so you will see her as a friend. She did it to have a reason to get closer to you.” She explained.“I understand that part, but whoever is behind it won’t matter in front of the law. I have no evidence against her and even if I do, I will still pay for what I did. I hit someone with a car

    -THREE MONTHS LATER-“What are you doing, Cohen?” Patricia challenged as Cohen slowly reversed the car. “Aren’t we going to pick the kid at the school anymore?”“We will.” Cohen answered as he drove into the other lane and headed toward their street.“Then why are you reversing? Why are you heading back home?” She questioned.“I forgot something at home.” Cohen informed.“What did you forget? Hun?” she asked, looking at him with a side of her eyes.“My phone.” Cohen responded.“Why must we go back to pick up your phone? It will take less than an hour to get back home. Can’t you just let’s go?” She queried.“I can’t because I am a business owner. I mustn’t stay away from my phone.” Cohen gave an excuse with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.“It’s the weekend, Cohen. No one will call you today. Stop giving excuses and let’s pick the kids. We shouldn’t keep them waiting for a long time.” Patricia said.“I’m not going because of business, but I need to pay fees before we can take the kids

    Cohen discharged a deep breath as he walked out of the bathroom. He paused for a second and rounded his hands over his waist, forgetting what he wanted to do next at that moment.A thought passed through his mind and he wiped his right hand over his face with the left still on the waist.Patricia’s phone rang, and he walked to the cabinet on the bedside and picked it up. “Who could be?” He wondered with his eyes furrowed, confused, and before he could turn to the door, the call ended and a message came into her eyes.Since Patricia’s phone was always unlocked, Cohen saw the message’s content and his eyes enlarged as a surprised tone escaped his mouth. “Hun!”He bit his lower lip and after a few second thought, he reached a conclusion and instantly swiped the message to the left to delete it. He returned the phone to the bed cabinet and rushed out of the room.He arrived in the sitting room and saw his mother watching the TV while Elsie was packing their breakfast out of the kitchen an

    “Who is here for me?” Anna threw a question at the security officer escorting her out of the room, showing no interest in meeting the person. The security officer opened the door for her and immediately as she sighted Patricia, she veered around.Patricia quickly stood on her feet. “Is that how to treat a guest?” She threw a question. “Shouldn’t you at least stay to hear why I am here? Your daughter, Rachel, don’t you have any message you want to pass to her?”Patricia’s words made Anna’s feet froze, and she halted for a minute before she slowly veered around and walked to the chair and sat down. “I have no message for Rachel. She doesn’t deserve a mother like me. I don’t worth to be called a mother,” she poured out. “Tell me why you are here. I don’t want to talk with you.”Patricia discharged a deep breath and sighed. She stared at Anna with a pity and despite having a lot of things in her mind, she couldn’t open her mouth to talk at the moment.Anna sighed. “Take your eyes away fro

    Anna abruptly opened the door and banged in, panting. “Ma! Ma! Ma!” She shouted, running towards Patricia’s desk.Patricia was shocked, and she couldn’t utter a word. Instead, she widened her eyes and watched Anna arrived in front of her desk before she could pull a word out. “What happened?” She asked, the worried in her voice cooperating with the concern in her voice.Anna breathed heavily as she bent her back and placed her hands on her knees.“What happened?!” Patricia raised her voice. She was getting more scared by Anna’s reaction.Anna panted for another second before she raised her hand and stood straight on her feet. “It’s him…” she uttered, but couldn’t complete her statement.She pointed her thumb at her back, crossing it over her shoulder without looking backward. “It’s him…” she continued, struggling to complete her statement but couldn’t.“It’s who?” Patricia asked, with her lips already quivering. “Calm yourself and talk, Anna. What happened? It’s who? Please, talk. You’

    Ailee walked into the office and stood in front of Bastian’s head. She bowed her head, holding a file in her hand. “Good morning, sir,” she greeted, but Bastian, whose head was placed on the desk, didn’t respond to her.“Good morning, sir,” she greeted again, but still no response.She furrowed her face. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself in a low voice. She observed him for a second and bent a bit to check if he was sleeping, but his eyes were wide open, making her guess he was just lost in thought.She elevated her shoulder a bit with her mouth shaped to the left a little. “What’s wrong with him?” She asked herself put the file on the desk and let out. “The president said I should give this to you.”She eyed her for another few minutes and turned around to leave, but as she took three steps forward, she halted because she was worried and couldn’t leave Bastian in that situation.“Gosh…” she uttered and discharged a soft breath and, without giving her decision a second thought

    Patricia heard a knock on the floor, and she stopped pressing her laptop. She glanced at her wristwatch. “8:05 Am? Who could it be?” She wondered.She stared at the door and raised her voice so it could reach the person. “Come in.” She permitted and immediately continued pressing her laptop.“Good morning, ma.”She heard a familiar voice and instantly raised her gaze. “Cohen?!” she exclaimed with her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn’t say another word. Instead, she fixed her eyes on him and watched him stride closer.Cohen arrived in front of his desk and bowed his head. “Good morning, ma,” he greeted. He raised his head and crossed his hand behind him as he stared downward and slightly bent his neck to apologize. “I’m sorry I arrived late,”“I have to drop my mother at the hospital.” He exclaimed.“What are-” Patricia opened her mouth to talk, but Cohen interrupted her.“I’m sorry. I know that’s not an excuse. I shouldn’t involve family matters in business, but I have to sta

    “Be careful…” Patricia cautioned Williams, who was already a few steps ahead of her out of the hospital and had been jumping around since the doctor said he was perfectly healthy now. There was no injection for him anymore.“Mom, please call Dad. This call for celebration. I am happy,” Williams let out. He stopped jumping, but couldn’t help pacing fast because he was so excited. He halted and glanced backward at his mother. “And don’t forget to invite Mr. Cohen as well. He needs to be there. I hope he is fine now and will have the strength to come.”“Sure, I will,” she agreed. She took a few steps closer to her and bent in his front. She passed the medicine nylon in her right hand to the left and placed it on Williams’s shoulder. “Williams, I know this won’t sound well with you or you won’t like it, but now that the truth is out and you know who Cohen is, you should change how you address him.”Williams furrowed his face as he raised his shoulder, stretching his hands beside him. “What

    -Many weeks later-“Ma, it’s Mrs. Charlotte. She has been waiting for over two hours.” Anna proclaimed immediately as she entered the office. Patricia was working on a file, and Anna’s announcement made her halted. She raised her gaze and looked at Anna’s face. “Why did you keep her waiting?” She questioned. “You should have told her I was in a meeting.”“I did, but she insisted on staying, and Ailee told me to allow her. I even invited her to come into the office to wait for you, but she declined saying she doesn’t worth it.” Anna explained.Patricia sighed and closed the file on her desk. She stood and walked out of her seat, asking, “where is she now?”“At the third floor. She is waiting with others question,” Anna responded. Patricia had already walked to her side, and before she could add another word, Patricia increased her speed and already walked past her.Anna turned around and paced to Patricia with three steps between them. “You can stay. I will go call her.” She offered.
