Chapter 62: Pain
Sofia's POV
One day has passed, and my condition is also getting worse.
“Sofia, you look pale. Are you okay? I think you have to go to the hospital to have a check-up,” Jessica said. She placed her hand on my forehead to feel my body temperature.
“Come on, I just feel tired these past few days. Maybe I just need a bit of rest,” I chuckled, but she was not convinced.
“Jessica is right, Sofia. You don't look okay,” Maria started to get worried.
I sigh; I’m not really okay. My doctor told me that I have cancer. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then things started to get clear. I was diagnosed with stage three cancer; there’s no possibility that I would survive in this situation.
It’s hard to accept, but it’s already happening. Maybe this life is really for me. This is what destiny wants me to be. All I have to do is to act like it was n
Chapter 63: Longing Sofia's POV My body starts to tremble; my heart keeps rising so fast, like I am running for miles. My mouth opened. What is he doing here? How did he find me? Marcus, why still show up? Everything was done. With trembling hands, I hurriedly closed the door, but he stopped me and went inside. I tried to avoid him, but he hugged me from behind. I don’t know why he’s doing this. I thought he had forgotten me. Why is he here? “Sofia,” the way he uttered my name made me cry. I can’t help it anymore. He hugged me like he wanted me to feel that he missed me too much. I tried to get away from his hug, but he was too strong. Don’t do this, too, Marcus! “Why are you here? Did you hit your head that made you remember me?” I chuckled bitterly. “I remember you now, Sofia. I’m sorry, Baby. Fuck! I missed you,” he rested his head on my shoulder while I could feel his breath. Damn it! I loved him. I missed him. I did fucking miss you, Marcus. I waited for this day to hap
Chapter 64: I Love You Sofia's POV “Sofia, I’d rather die right now than leave you here. I loved you, Sofia, I really do. Sofia Sanders, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't care if you hated me; I don't care if you don't want to see me. All I want tonight is to be with you tonight, tomorrow, and the rest of the days. Please just let me stay.” He gave me a warm kiss on my cheek that gave me butterflies in my stomach. Why are you doing this to me, Marcus? You deserve to be happy. You deserve someone better than me. He tightened his hug, and I could feel his warm tears on my neck. I wanted to get away from him, but I wanted us to stay like this. I wanted to push him, but I wanted to feel his hugs. I wanted to wipe his tears, but I couldn't. “I loved you. I'm dying to kiss you and hug you like this. Baby, I'm sorry, please forgive me. Let me fix things,” he said, holding me carefully and making me face him.
Chapter 65: Dying Sofia's POV After the long night, Marcus stayed here in my house. Just like before, he's the one cooking for us. I told him that he shouldn't have to do it, but then he insisted. He became much sweeter than before. I don't want him to stay here because he's not used to living a simple life, but whatever I do, he never leaves. After his work, he will come back here; he decided to stay in my house. “Are you alright?” He hugged me from behind. I smiled because of what he did. Actually, I like the way he treats me now. “I'm okay, you're getting late, you have to go,” I turned around to look at his handsome face. You're as attractive as ever, Marcus. How am I going to forget you? All this time, you are making me feel precious. “Fine, I'll be back later, okay? Don't forget to eat your lunch. I love you,” he kissed me on my lips, and it was not just a kiss; it was passionate. “Just go
Chapter 66: Promises Sofia's POV “You can go home and take a rest now if you're not feeling well, Sofia,” Jessica told me while we were arranging the flowers. Marcus has been living with me for almost seven days. Maria went mad at me for letting Marcus enter my life again, but then when I told her everything that happened, she understood. She was shocked, knowing that Marcus had been living with me here for a couple of days now. “These past few days, I’ve observed that you're getting sexier. Have you planned on losing weight? They tell me you're doing workouts; that's why sometimes you look tired and not okay while you are working here in your shop,” Maria asked while she was eating at the table. I sighed. These past few days, I've been trying to look normal like before, but sometimes it's hard for me to do that, especially when I start coughing up blood. “I'm not sure how I could do that. Marcus is living with me now,
Chapter 67:Please fight for me Sofia's POV I woke up when I felt Marcus tapping me on my shoulder. “Wake up, sleepyhead, breakfast is ready,” he gave me a peck of a kiss. When I opened my eyes, his smile was the first thing I saw. He never fails to make me happy every day. How I wish we could be like this forever. I stared at the clock, and he was already late. I stood up, but I didn't expect him to carry me. “Marcus! Let me down,” he said, carrying me in a bridal style while I kept insisting that he let me go. “Nope, I'll carry you through to the kitchen,” he said while laughing at my reaction. I pouted, but then he gave me another peck of a kiss. “Stop doing that, or else I will not stop kissing you until tomorrow,” what he said made me blush. “Stop it, you're getting late,” he just laughed while putting me down on the table. “That's why I need to hurry and eat my breakfast,” he
Chapter 68: Fight Sofia's POV I agreed with Marcus. We decided to fight this struggle. He never left my side, always there when I need him, when I need something, or when I'm uncomfortable. It's been days in the hospital, and with the help of expert doctors, my condition is improving. My phone rang, but I still didn't have the courage to answer. "I think you have to tell her about your condition, Sofia. After all, she's your best friend," Marcus said as he fed me. "I don't know how to tell her," I sighed, knowing she was worried about me. "I'll give you time to talk to her, okay? I'll just buy drinks outside," he said, kissing me before leaving. He didn't wait for my response but left, smiling, encouraging me to talk to Maria. I grabbed the phone and answered the call. "Hello?" "What the hell, Sofia?! I've been calling for days, but you didn't even dare to answer my phone! I have gone to your flo
Chapter 69: Hurt Me Again Sofia's POV I wasn't used to Marcus not being here tonight, but I knew his meeting was important. My phone rang, and I saw Maria was the caller. I answered because I knew she wanted to talk to me. “How are you? Where is Marcus?” She asked while combing her hair. “He can't accompany me now; he has an important meeting to attend,” I told her. She nodded. I feel bad for Marcus; I know he's tired, but he chose to stay here in the hospital with me. If I tell him to rest, he always says that he feels better when he's with me. “Then why didn't you tell me so I could go there?” Of course, she's busy. I didn't want to disturb her. “I'm okay, besides, he will be back tomorrow morning, so no need to worry,” I assured her. She went to her mirror while putting on night cream. “I'll visit you tomorrow; I don't have a meeting to attend,” she said while wearing a jacket. “Make sure you
Chapter 70: I Hope You're Happy Without Me Sofia POV I hurriedly removed everything that was on my body, went outside the room, and hurriedly looked for a taxi. I was catching air when I got inside the car. I'm still not okay. Even though I'm weak, I still manage to call a taxi with my hospital dress. I escaped, I wanted to see him. I wanted to see it with my own eyes. I don't care if the driver finds me weird. All I did was cry. My heartbeat kept on rising while we were on our way to the bar. My sight is getting blurry because of my unstable tears. I laughed, remembering those moments when he looked at me with his eyes. He made me believe that he loved me. Did he really love me? I don't know how to face him tonight. I don't know how he would be able to react to me. I love you. I'm dying inside not to hold you like I wanted His words keep on echoing in my head. He made me believe
