Margaux was so shocked that her body stiffened. That person who was sitting next to her continued wiping her tears, oblivious of her shock. “I hate seeing you cry,” the stranger stated as though they have known each other for a long time. Slowly, she turned her head and looked on her side to see who it was. The creases on her forehead deepened when she finally recovered and realized that it was Josh. “Why are you here?” She queried. Josh smiled at her as if he already anticipated that she was going to ask that question. He then put his handkerchief inside his jacket before he answered. “I can’t let you leave in that state so I followed you,” he shrugged. Her face was filled with disbelief as she stared at the guy next to her. She did not need any companions and just wanted to be alone, far from everyone she knew. In an instant, he blood boiled as she did not like what Josh was doing. “Who said you could follow me? I wanted to be alone,” she hissed. Josh seemed taken a
Margaux quickly struggled in Josh’s arms. She knew what was happening and she won’t let that man leave without her breaking that camera that took her picture while being carried by Josh. However, Josh tightened his hold on her and her injury was becoming more painful that immediately stopped her from moving. “You planned this, did you?!” She glared at Josh. “That man has been following me and took this opportunity to capture us for what?!” She hit him and had no remorse doing so. She was so angry at his scheme and she knew he was doing it to ruin her plan of getting back with Hendrix. Was it love? Definitely not. Because if Josh really does love her, he won’t harm her in any way. Smiling bitterly, she finally stopped hitting him and just covered her face in frustration. “Put me down,” she said sternly. “But..” “I said put me down!” She spat. Josh carefully put her down and hesitantly looked at her. Meanwhile, her face contorted as she felt the pain on her right foot as
“Margaux, I was the one who invited them here,” her mother stated calmly. Margaux looked at her mother incredulously, disbelieving of what her mother had just said. Meanwhile, Felissa caressed her hair gently and gave her a reassuring smile. “They are here to check on you..” Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at her two wanted visitors. “Check on me?” She repeated. Her voice was full of sarcasm and she did not even try to hide it. She knew her mother would reprimand her for it, but she did not want to pretend to be okay with it when it was not really what she was feeling over their visit. “I’ve talked to them while you were asleep, sweetheart. There’s no harm in listening to them first before you decide whether to believe them or not. They’re still Hendrix’s parents. They are still your in-laws”The last sentence made her flinch. ‘In-laws?!’ her mind exclaimed. She stared at her mother with wide eyes as she could not believe that those words came from her mouth. But then, she
“What happened to him?” she bravely asked. She saw her mother helped Wilma to stand up and made her sit down on the sofa and told David to sit down as well. They did not respond right away and she was even glad about it, because she was still processing about Hendrix’s situation and was not sure if she was ready for more information. “Margaux, you should take a rest first. We’ll talk about this later..” her mother stated. She quickly shook her head. How can she rest knowing that her husband was in critical condition? Her mind won’t be at ease now after accepting the truth. She wanted to know everything. She wanted to know how he ended up that way. Deep in her heart, she was still in disbelief because she hadn't seen him in the hospital bed unconscious with her own eyes. “I need to know now, Mom. Please tell me what happened to him,” she said, almost pleading.She even got up on the bed and was about to stand up. If not only for her sprained ankle, she would’ve run to the room n
Her knees gave up upon seeing her cousin inside. She had forgotten that Daisy was also admitted there as all she could think of was Hendrix. “Margaux? How can you walk here? Jack! Please carry her here!” Daisy said in panic. She wanted to protest when Jack squatted and effortlessly carried her, but her right foot was really painful that she could not move anymore. Daisy quickly got out of her bed and let Jack lay her down there. She also checked her bandaged foot before scowling at her. “What are you thinking?” Her cousin reprimanded, “Didn’t you know that your bones here are broken? It's still swelling and painful! Why did you walk here alone?!” Despite the pain from her foot, she still notices her cousin’s anger towards her action. She really was not meant to go there. It was just a mistake because she thought it was Hendrix’s room. “Where’s Dinah and Saab? They are supposed to look out for you!” “Daisy, calm down. Our baby..” Jack muttered. That’s when Daisy stopped naggi
“Babe, do you wanna go out now?” Daisy asked worriedly. Margaux quickly shook her head. She then tried to wipe her tears and bravely lifted her head. However, before her eyes landed on the bed, she saw Wilma’s tear stricken face while staring at her.“Thank you for coming here,” the old woman muttered. She did not know why but her heart melted at her words. Maybe because she was emotionally unstable. She did not respond to her and just shifted her gaze towards where the bed was. And in an instant, her whole body convulsed at the sight in front of her. “Babe! What’s happening?!” Daisy’s panicked voice reverberated in the room. She was oblivious of her surroundings anymore as her eyes were fixated on the bed where Hendrix was lying unconsciously. It was very identical to what she saw in her dreams and the only difference was, Roxanne wasn’t there. Those tubes in his face, hand, and chest. There were just too many things attached to his body that made her heart shattered into piec
Margaux was admitted in the hospital longer than they were expecting. Her broken ankle was already getting better but her health was the opposite. She refused to eat and even talk to them. She was always lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling absentmindedly if she was not sleeping. Her parents, relatives and even Hendrix’s parents were all worried for her because they knew the blow to her regarding Hendrix's accident must have been too strong. It was expected that she would not take that news well, but they never expected that it would be that bad. On the other hand, Daisy was also advised to stay in their house because she almost bled again due to extreme worry. “Doc, how’s the surgery?” Felissa asked one of the doctors they summoned from different countries. “The operation is successful and the patient’s condition is already stable. However, there is still no certainty that he will wake up sooner as the damages in his internal organs were quite severe,” the doctor explai
“I don’t know what you are thinking , Sue. That Josh obviously is lying. Look, it’s been days but where is he? He’s probably hiding somewhere by now,” Daisy ranted out after learning of his request to their uncle Geronimo. Sue leaned back on the couch and calmly watched his cousin getting furious. “You’re so impatient. You should stop stressing yourself out, seriously,” he said. Daisy clicked her tongue, “How could I?” She retaliated. “I won’t be relaxed in this situation when I can see Margaux like that?” She then pointed her index finger towards Margaux’s direction. They all turned their heads at where Daisy was pointing at and Sue quickly stood up upon seeing Margaux was already awake. “You’re finally awake,” Sue commented as he approached her. Margaux shook her head and looked away. Just like what she had been doing for the past days, she stared at the ceiling and lost in her thoughts once again. Daisy’s heart constricted as she could not take seeing her cousin like that. Sh
