Jacques tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes burnt and she stopped trying to smile.

"I'm fine, doctor." She looked at Dr. Kruger. "I want to leave. I can pay the bills-"

"This is a charity hospital, Jacques. You don't have to pay the bills. And you're not well enough to be discharged. I'm not advising you to leave now. " Dr. Kruger said as she scribbled something on her notepad.

"And, you know how the streets here are like at night, dear," Daisy added in a very caring tone.

Yes, the streets would be dangerous. I would rather take my chance there than being trapped here.

"My baby?" Jacques wanted to get her baby and find a way to leave.

"We can provide you options on what to do with-"

"Give me my baby!" Jacques interjected Dr. Kruger and raised her voice.

Are they seriously holding my dead baby as a hostage for keeping me here?

"I will keep your baby boy safe and comfortable until you become well enough to get discharged. Do you want to take a look at your baby?" Dr. Kruger asked

    Dr. Kruger looked at Jeremy and he leaned on the wall with a sigh and stared at the floor and Emma was too stunned to react.Okay... This Gerard is Jacques's boyfriend and those two know about it.So... is he also the father of Jacques's baby?But why did Emma marry him? And why did Jeremy marry Jacques?Don't tell me Emma got what Emma wanted like always. And as usual, Jeremy helped his sister, didn't he?Dr. Kruger who hates drama in her life and avoids gossips, and every reality show and drama series there is, got herself standing in the midst of a twisted drama in her own life involving her son."He meant I am Jacques's girl-friend. Silly Gerard!" Emma who had composed herself playfully hit Gerard in his arm and held his hand.Yes, you are so believable Emma.... Dr. Kruger wanted to roll her eyes.Pulling through the hallways avoiding Dr. Kruger's gaze, Emma spoke coyly as if the one who looked like someone shot a hole through her brain sometime before was not her."Aunt Maddy is

    "You can tell me if you want to meet them." Daisy spoke in a soft voice. "They said they'll wait for you.""Sure," Jacques said with a slight smile. Although Daisy refused to help her with filing a complaint, she found Daisy's presence very comforting. She had such a soothing voice and gentle hands."I'm sorry... I think I need to change..." Jacques said hesitantly. She tried to sit up but she felt the room spinning and she gripped the sheet."You have pretty severe bleeding, your blood Hb has dropped to 8.4. It is good that you decided to stay here another day. We need to improve your haemoglobin count." Daisy spoke as she helped Jacques.Maybe because she is a nurse, she had a nice aura around her and she seemed like a kind person.But Jacques didn't want to drop her guard with anyone related to that monster. And she didn't even want to think of meeting Gerard when he is with Emma.Why did he even visit? He didn't even bother to stop the car yesterday and why is he here now? Did Emm

    Jacques's eyes filled with tears as she caressed her abdomen that felt empty for her. Her back hurt constantly and her legs cramped up often. Due to anaemia, she felt giddy at times.More than the physical ailments, what hurt more was her heart.Should I follow my baby? Will he be waiting for me?What is left for me here? Why should I stay here?These thoughts popped in her brain often. But there is this little dark corner of this heart that wanted revenge.Revenge on the guy who took her everything.I need to be alive to watch him suffer!And Gerard... should I ask him why he broke up with me and why he married Emma?Jacques gritted her teeth trying to control her thoughts.He left me. He didn't even look for me for a month and proceeded to plan for his wedding with the woman who caused our misfortune.Why should I meet him just because he wants to meet me this time?She closed her eyes and really fell asleep. Maybe because this is a hospital, or it was her anaemia or some medication

    Jeremy was pretty happy as he walked through the hallways. He was planning on what to cook next for her.I saw the pumpkins in Martha's garden read to be picked... So maybe that pumpkin pie pudding?He was so happy, he wanted to go home to learn the recipe and give it a try before cooking for her.At that time, his phone rang with a notification.{Emma Cooper posted a picture...}The notification read and he immediately clicked the notification. Emma had posted a picture.Emma was with a bright smile sitting beside Gerard in the first class of a plane.They waited for almost an hour for Jacques to wake up but then since they had a flight to catch, they left.It's better this way.He looked at the post once more. There were some hashtags above the picture which he ignored as always. Although a millennial, he didn't like these social networking sites. He's only in Facebook upon Emma's insistence.Seeing Emma's bright smile, his lips curved up too. But seeing the man sitting beside her,

    Jeremy went back to Jacques's room. He decided to stay in the hallway to make sure no one tries anything funny.When he got there, he couldn't help but sneak a peek through the glass and during the small time frame when the wind blew the curtains away, he had a glance of Jacques deeply asleep on the bed.He placed his hand on the door and before he knew it, he had opened the door and entered. He looked around and realized Daisy was not in the room.He placed his hand on his heart as he felt his heartbeat racing, realizing he was alone with her in the room. He took in a deep breath with a smile.The past few days when she was with him, he is always feeling this way. He has stared death in the eye and escaped from its jaws a handful of times. But even then his heart didn't race like this.Only when I am with her...The lighting was dim and she was lying on her back on the bed. Her IV was still running but the monitors that were connected to her were removed. Her shoulder-length blonde h

    The next day, Jacques woke up with the glaring sun falling on her face. She looked around the room and Daisy was not in the room. The blinds were pulled up and the windows were open bringing in a fresh scent of roses.Jacques felt a lot better than the first day she was here. She still had severe bleeding, but she didn't feel much cramping. Her hemoglobin levels are slowly improving and she didn't feel much giddiness.She sat on the bed and her head didn't spin anymore and she took in a deep breath closing her eyes unwilling to look at the cold white walls. Her abdomen hurts, reminding her why she is in this place. Even with the sweet scent of roses, the smell of disinfectants was overwhelming making it hard for her to enjoy anything.That familiar voice made her flinch. Her heart skipped a beat as she didn't expect her step-sister to come here.Why is she here? What does she want now?That was the first thought that came to her mind.Did she hear about the miscarriage?"Gina, come in

    Gina seemed to not understand Jacques's pain and felt like she was blaming her for attending a wedding."Linny, what's there to-" she let out a deep breath as if she was wronged. "I know Gerard and you were planning to marry, but it didn't work out. It happens! He found someone better for his career! Do you have any idea how many millionaires and politicians attended their wedding?" she shrugged. "And just because of that we cannot be close-minded and ignore him, right? Plus... Ugh! Leave it, Linny," she pouted as the last resort since she couldn't come up with any more excuses.Jacques wanted to laugh out loud. She knew those two never loved her, but still she was nice to them, and provided for their extravagant needs. She thought she'd need someone as family in times of her troubles.After reading a news article about a girl who lived alone who was not reported missing even after a week which resulted in her demise, she got scared. She thought if she kept those two close, they'd at

    Dr. Kruger leaned on the wall bowing her head as she heard the little sniffles coming from inside the room after Gina stormed off. She heard some of what those two talked about.She doesn't like that phrase either. She knew people who others think are strong are the ones carrying the greatest scars in their heart, weeping silently, when no one is looking.She closed her eyes and her nightmare came to her recollection once more. That day, she thought she did the right thing for herself and for the sake of others she'd be helping in the future. But it backfired spectacularly and not a day goes by without her regretting that decision.But no one knows that. Everyone thinks she is a strong and kind woman who is very happy because she is successful.Ah... Jeremy... I can see why you want to protect her.She talked to him and everything he said seemed so surreal. She couldn't believe it all, but she didn't doubt Jeremy's honesty either.What a pity! What did she do to get in the eyes of a g

    Jeremy tried to regain his balance after he was pushed and he saw the little figure falling on the floor. He balanced himself and saw the little figure kneeling as the tiger was in an attack stance.Oh, No!Jacques was not willing to die."No, Khan!" She shouted and crossed her forearms to cover her face. She shut her eyestightly as if that would have her.Her voice was loud and clear and that was followed by Wyatt's authoritative command."Khan, stay."Just a second after Jacques felt something warm and soft hugging her and she opened her eyes to see little Benny hugging her.She felt a strong pull from behind her and a lot of shouts. Thankfully she didn't hear any weapon going off.She saw the distance between the tiger and her increasing and the big cat getting pulled back by Wyatt.She didn't know how it happened but the tiger looked calmer now."You okay, Jacques?" That familiar voice was shaking in terror and the next she felt was everything around her blackening as she was surr

    Jacques's heart pounded looking at the sharp eyes of Wyatt. The tiger was staring right at her and licked its lips.Jacques felt a shiver passing through her spine.Fear of death...She used to foolishly think for some time that death would end it all and death is a sweet release from worldly troubles.But now, facing the big threat in front of her, she realized that she wanted to live more than she thought she did.She gulped seeing Wyatt taking a puff with an odd smirk looking at her. She was terrified.But she stared right back at Wyatt. She remembered Jeremy's words that even Shaun's boss cannot hurt her.I am Joel's woman. I cannot show myself to be weak when he is near me!She felt a big hand enveloping hers. That familiar big hand was rough and warm.Yeah, I am in the safest place on earth.I am by Joel's side!"Come to the point, Wyatt. Don't waste my time," Jeremy said, placing her hand on his lap.It was like he is assuring her that he is by her side and no one can touch her

    Jacques couldn't take her eyes off the little boy with pretty green eyes. Those eyes reminded her of Gerard and the baby she lost.She fixed the long unkempt hair of the boy by running her fingers through them. The boy had a pleasing smile. He was shy at first but then started to play with her hair.She got some snacks for the boy from the others and he was happily chomping on them while talking non-stop.Should I just bring him with me?Jacques wondered. His father left him out in the cold. He wouldn't mind if someone else raises his son, right?But... She was told that Wyatt came running here as soon as he heard the news that his son is with Jeremy. News from Wyatt's town is that he was searching every nook and corner of his town for his son.Ugh!Jeremy, sitting at a distance from her, watched her without blinking. She was casually wiping the boy's snot, wiping his face, and was holding him the whole time.And the smile on her face...He could see a different kind of smile on her f

    And that's when she saw some movement behind the tiger. She thought she saw a piece of clothing sometime before, but she dismissed it.But now, that piece of clothing has moved.Is that a child?All of a sudden, she could move. She saw Jeremy pointing the weapon at the tiger and there were some tens of the volunteers pointing their weapons."Don't shoot!!!" Jacques waved her hand and walked towards the tiger.She wasn't thinking about anything but that child. They might shoot at the tiger but the child is bound to get hurt.Jeremy was stunned.Is she really walking towards the tiger? Is she trying to protect the tiger? She was scared of the huskies and now she is walking towards a....Is she stupid?He signaled others not to shoot but his weapon was trained on the tiger."Reckless idiot!" he mumbled, seeing the tiger crouching a bit as if it was going to lunge.Second, he felt his heart slipping to the pit of his stomach. He heard a ringing noise in his ear and his eyes darkened.The t

    Jacques was surprised to see the number of pickup trucks lined up in the road. Noticing Jeremy's car, they all gave way to him. She oddly felt proud, although she knew this respect was for Jeremy.He's the King, alright?She didn't think that many would volunteer for this when today is Black Friday and was impressed.Rather than shopping for Christmas, they preferred to help every kid have a Christmas tree in their home?"That's a lot of volunteers," Jacques said."Yeah, every year the number of volunteers is increasing and the number of trees needed is decreasing," Jeremy said, waving his hand to Charlie parking his truck."So more people are buying fake Christmas trees these days?" Jacques said with a chuckle."Ha... That's a very genius observation, Chippy! "Jeremy turned to look at her with a teasing smile."Chippy? Not you too, Brutus," she hit him in the arm.Actually, she understood what that meant. It just means the prospects of the households in this area is getting better an

    Jacques stayed silent as she didn't know what to say."I had terrible morning sickness and it was a time when I had a promising career ahead. I was just twenty-nine and I thought it was not the right time for the baby. So I..." Dr. Kruger took a deep breath."It's rare... complications after abortion... but...I became an Attending Physician... When I decided it is time for me to become a mother...It... five miscarriages, going through all the fertility treatments available, clinical depression, and a suicide attempt later, I quit my job and my husband brought me here. John... he was my pillar of support..." Dr. Kruger wiped her eyes."No one here knows this... Not even Jeremy..."Jacques got up and squatted beside Dr. Kruger and held her hand. She could feel the pain in the doctor's heart."I got better here. My husband, bless his soul, he's the one good thing I did right in my life. He did a lot for me, lost a lot for me, but he never even thought of losing me... And Jeremy... When w

    Sometime later, Scarlett's family joined them in the backyard and they all played games and chatted merrily. Except for Scarlett and Jacques, everyone else got drunk.Jacques helped Scarlett in taking care of the leftovers and cleaning the kitchen. Then Scarlett decided to stay in her parents' home and Scarlett's brother helped bring Bobby there.Both Jeremy and Bobby were too drunk to drive. Jacques decided to drive Jeremy home but Dr. Kruger asked her to stay the night here since it had gotten late already."I can drive..." Jeremy said with a slur."Go to bed," Dr. Kruger patted his back."Yes, mom," Jeremy hugged her. "I love you, mom. So much.""Me too, Jerry. I love you," Dr. Kruger said with a chuckle and patted his back."Jeryl...Jerly...Jacques..." he started giggling as he slurred.He walked towards Jacques holding out his hands, "My wife, my love... here... let me..." he puckered his lips and tried to kiss her.Maybe he was seeing double, he couldn't quite catch her lips and

    Jacques once accidentally got in contact with acid when she was in school. It was just a drop and the acid wasn't very concentrated and even then it gave her a first-degree burn.If this acid is for hurting her, it should be a concentrated acid.How much will it hurt if Jeremy pours it on Stella? Won't her bones melt?A shiver ran down Jacques's spine.Wait...It could've been me!That acid... it might have landed on my face!Viper... Viper is the guy who wants me dead and this woman for her own benefit made a deal with him!Without saying anything, Jacques turned to walk inside.Stella's sobs intensified and she knelt on the floor knowing her fate."Please... Linny... please... help me... I wasn't thinking..."Jacques almost stopped hearing that pitiful cry, but then she walked without stopping.It could have been me.Scarlett hugged baby Cia in her bosom as they walked at a larger pace towards Bobby's house. Soon after, they heard the sound of glass shattering on the floor, followed

    "Stella!"Hearing Jacques walking closer, Jimmy stepped aside.Jacques's stepmother walked in with a bright smile replacing the scowl she had till then, as soon as she heard Jacques."What brings you here?" Jacques put on a bright smile to match her stepmother's."Oh, dear," Stella wrapped her arms around Jacques for a hug and Jacques put up with it.She saw Scarlett behind Stella and she pulled out her phone to record after passing the baby to Bobby. Jacques nodded with a smile.They predicted the next one to come for her under the nudge of Emma would be her stepmother.Jacques hasn't paid a cent for them for more than two months and they have never lived without her money and it would be hard for them to survive.They do not know how to spend thriftily and not to mention all the debts they are under.After talking to Gina, Jacques never cared for them.
