“Hendrix!” someone called out his name. He was expecting it to be Margaux only to be disappointed upon seeing it was Daisy. Standing there, the woman looked disappointed as she stared at him. And he knew exactly why, but he cared less about whatever she felt about him. He wanted to ignore her, knowing the fact that she was very insistent and manipulative. However, he decided against it as he did not want to be rude to the person who seemed to be the only one who was siding with him. Letting out a heavy sigh, he fully turned around and faced her. “What?” he asked with a stoic face.The woman raised an eyebrow as she folded her arms across her chest. “Are you leaving just like that?” she inquired. Her eyes were taunting, as though she was looking down at him just because he left. His thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as he did not understand why she was giving him that look. “I am not needed there,” he replied nonchalantly. Daisy clicked her tongue. She was shaking her head and cont
Hendrix was fuming mad as he left the hospital. He was planning to wait outside for Margaux but the information he gathered ruined his mood. His parents either lied to him or were deceived by someone else. He should not care as it was none of his business anymore. But he couldn’t help it because he had a feeling that Margaux had something to do with it. “What is it now?” Giro answered the call sternly. “Ask my mother if she received the results of her test before she was discharged and fly back there,” he said, going straight to the point. “Your mother? I thought you don’t want to do anything with her?” his friend asked. He clicked his tongue. He did not want to explain anything but he knew Giro wouldn't move until he didn’t get any answer from him. “I met her doctor here and he told me that my parents left before the results came out. I want to confirm who was telling the truth..” he elaborated. “Okay. And if your mother is telling the truth, do you want me to investigate furt
Hendrix instantly stood up. His face darkened as he strode towards it, but stopped when he saw that person quickly dashed away and disappeared. His jaw ticked. He can't be mistaken. He had been seeing that woman everyday before for years, thus he was sure it was her. “Mister, my friends want to say something,” said the kid who was giving him the ice cream earlier. Hendrix turned and saw all the kids were standing in line in front of him. They were all looking up at him with those smudges of chocolates and vanilla on their faces which made his heart softened. “Mister, thank you for the ice cream!” they all said in unison. The corners of his lips lifted lopsidedly and a chuckle escaped his mouth. “It’s nothing,” he replied as he shuffled one of the kid’s head. After that, they all ran back to the field happily and he could not help but shake his head while smiling widely. It must be nice to have kids like them. He thought.Shoving his hands onto the pocket of his jeans, he turn
Hendrix was just becoming more irritable by Daisy’s action. He clicked his tongue as he stared at her darkly. “If you are not going to say it right now, I’m leaving,” he said sternly then stood up from his seat. He turned his back on her without waiting for her response. However, as soon as he faced behind, his body instantly froze. Standing there was the mother of the person he loved, his ex mother-in-law, Felissa Montello. He held his breath upon meeting her gaze. It felt like he was staring at Margaux as they shared the same vibrant blue eyes. However, hers seemed more softer and full of emotion as though it held a lot of empathy than one person can have. “Auntie asked me to search for you,” Daisy stated, breaking the silence that suddenly occurred. “I'm not the one who needed anything from you..” she added. He was not able to move as his feet got rooted on the spot. His eyes were fixated at the stunning woman in front of him. He had no idea how old she was, but she looked l
‘Favor?’ he inwardly repeated as his thick eyebrows instantly furrowed. He unconsciously clasped his hands together, thinking it was just hallucination. Because why would Felissa Montello ask a favor from him? He was a nobody compared to her. What can he do that others can't that made her think he can be of any help to her? He was in deep thoughts that he almost jolted from his seat when he realized that his ex mother-in-law was already standing in front of him. On the other hand, Felissa did not know that he was having a turmoil inside. She flashed him a kind smile before she asked permission if she could sit next to him. Flabbergasted, Hendrix could only nod his head. He even stood up as a sign of respect and waited until she was seated before he sat again. However, as soon as he sat down, he became like a stone, frozen on his seat. He could feel his cold sweats on his forehead and palms, as if any minute he would just melt there like an ice who was exposed to heat.
“Are you seriously gonna stay here until Josh wakes up?” Daisy queried as soon as she came back to Josh's private room. Margaux folded her arms across her chest then glanced at Josh's unconscious state. Her heart swelled out of pity seeing her childhood friend like that. “I guess so..” she muttered. She heard her cousin let out an exasperated sigh before gently closing the door behind her. Finally looking at Daisy's direction, she saw her contorted face while staring at Josh. “Why?” Daisy mumbled while her eyes were still fixated on the bed. “Why what?” she frowned.She watched her cousin with her eyebrows deeply furrowed as the latter kept staring at Josh as if waiting for the guy to open his eyes. “Daisy,” she called as she couldn't stand watching her anymore. “What is it?” she probed. Her cousin finally retracted her gaze away from Josh and shifted towards her. But her expression didn't change and it actually became more sour as she looked at her. “Why would you stay here a
Her heart was pounding hard in anticipation. She felt like crying as her gaze fixated on him.It took a while before Josh had completely opened his eyes and stared back at her. “Margaux, it’s really you..” he said in a very weak and hoarse voice. She hastily walked towards the bed and tearfully held his hand, “You’re finally awake,” she muttered. She was still in shock and disbelief. Her eyes roamed at his body before she let out a sigh of relief. “We have to call the doctors and nurses,” Daisy chimed in. Right then, Margaux quickly pressed the emergency button and in no time, Josh’s doctors and nurses came in. Daisy pulled her out of the room then. She wanted to protest but when she saw how busy the room was, she immediately pressed her lips together and let her cousin drag her out. ‘We need to go home,” Daisy said as soon as they stepped out of the room. Taken aback, she looked at her cousin in disbelief. “We can’t. Josh–”Daisy glared at her, “Do you want to get stuck here
Margaux automatically pushed herself up and straightened her body. Her face was burning and her eyes were a little wide as she felt utterly embarrassed at what they had witnessed. Most of all, her chest was thumping so hard because of the man who can already put a hole in her face by the way he sharply stared at her. “Babe?” Daisy muttered. Her hesitant voice made her quickly turn to her cousin’s direction. However, instead of feeling relieved, she became more nervous when she saw her confused expression. “What’s wrong with the patient?” the Doctor inquired, saving the awkward atmosphere in the room. Clearing her throat, Margaux stepped back and lowered her head, “He said he’s in pain..” she muttered. She could feel her cheeks were getting hotter as she realized how awkward it was being caught by them when the guy who was lying on the hospital bed was in pain while she seemed hoarding above him.‘What just happened?!’ she screamed internally. It was too quick and she really di
