Summer nodded as she took off her shoes and changed into her nightgown. Maybe it was the fact that she was pregnant, but she slept curled up in his arms right away.Once her breathing became steady, Mark opened his eyes and carefully removed his arm that was under her hand before he got out of bed. He walked to the study and stopped there as he sat himself down on the chair and switched on the laptop. Controlling the cursor with his right hand, Mark opened the search history and reopened the page. “Can pregnant women donate their bone marrow?”‘So, this was what she was looking at just now. No wonder she switched off the laptop so abruptly when she saw me.’Summer wanted to keep the transplant a secret from Mark, but how long was she going to keep it from him?Three of them went to the hospital for a checkup right after they had their breakfast.After some time, the results were out as the doctor came to them with a smile on his face. “You’re one month pregnant. Congratulation
Summer’s heart raced as she panicked when Mark was next to her. They were both very close to each other. She was afraid that he could hear their conversation or hear Ronald’s voice.She leaned away from Mark as she spoke clearly. “Let’s meet at the café outside of the school tomorrow at 12.00 pm.”She hung up right after she finished speaking, not waiting for Ronald’s response.Mark was drying his hair with his towel while raising his brows and staring at her. “Who was it?”“An old teacher. She needed some old documents from me so I asked her to meet me at the café tomorrow.” Summer put the phone back into her bag and acted normally. “Let’s sleep. If I get up late one more time tomorrow, I won’t stay over ever again.”Mark leaned toward her and kissed her soft cherry lips. “Goodnight.”Summer returned his kiss as she smiled faintly. “Goodnight.”He could only watch but not taste the snack next to him. ‘How cruel is this life.’ Mark let out a soft sigh as he held Summer tightly i
No matter how small a fetus was, it was still a life. It really was not as simple as he said. That was her son, and she could not just abort him like that!“Then do you want to just watch your biological mother die before your eyes?” Ronald put down the mug of coffee and looked at her. The atmosphere between the two was extremely stuffy and tense, making it hard for people to breathe…Ronald was just looking at her with his serious and dark expression. There was an indescribable sense of power and authority from him. However, Summer’s expression was cold as she stared back at him. There was not an ounce of warmth in her eyes. “That’s why I said I can’t go through with the transplant now. The baby is mine, and I can’t just take its life away like that!”Ronald had no thoughts about the one-month-old baby in her belly, let alone some empathy. He did not understand. How could an unborn baby be more important than a person who had been living for a long time?The fetus was just a
Ronald was caught off guard by his unpredictable attack. A heavy punch landed on him, sent him wobbling backward. He held onto the side of the table to keep himself from falling.Eyebrows furrowing with anger, he vehemently exclaimed, "This punch, is for my mother and the atrocious deeds you have committed!" His words were as cold as ice.Following that, he punched Ronald again, saying, "This is from me and Jazz!".After being struck twice in quick succession, Ronald stumbled against the table. He panted softly, and his cheeks ached. Yet, he maintained his authoritative figure as a father. "Mark, you’re going overboard!".“Since you have the audacity to do this, you should bear the consequences!” Mark shot Ronald a glare with an indifferent and distant expression. “I’m warning you, don’t you ever approach her again. Or else, I swear I will do worse than beat you!"Following that, Mark gave Ronald a cold glance before striding towards the door of the café. A few of the cafe custo
Samantha frowned upon looking at Ronald’s swollen face. “What happened to your face?” she asked strangely.“Nothing. I just walked into something.” Ronald brushed off her question. Even though he was not hurt badly, he still felt anger inside of him. It was just that the anger was already vanishing at this time. “How are you so clumsy? Don’t you use your eyes when you walk?” Samantha asked the nurse to bring some ice and put it on his bruise. Ronald sat there heavy-heartedly as he felt very upset. Making Summer donate her bone marrow was only going to get tougher. Mark was already aware of it, and he certainly would not allow it to happen...As Mark pushed open the apartment door, the dim yellow lighting in the house melted away his sorrow a little. The tense lines on his face softened too. Summer was making dinner in the kitchen while Charlotte was babbling out her ABCs while writing them down. “ABCEF…”Even after they had repeatedly told her four to five times, she sti
“What reasons?” Of course, Yvette did not want anybody to donate their bone marrow to Samantha. She even wished that she could just die. Mark did not hide anything from her, and he did not think there was a reason to do so anyway. He cut to the chase and said, “She’s pregnant…”For a moment, Yvette went completely silent on the other end of the phone. Only the sound of her breathing was flowing in the air. Summer being pregnant again was totally out of her expectations. However, she was the only person with a compatible bone marrow, so there could not be a better time for her to be pregnant. Even though the baby inside of her belonged to Mark, she could not be bothered about it at that moment. To her, Ronald and that cunning woman were the main problems.“Okay, I understand now. I won’t let both of them have an easy time!” Yvette was still angry, and her stomach was still filled with burning flames.Mark’s eyes looked deep after he hung up the phone. He believed that he needed
She got even angrier and irritated when she shoved Mark out of the apartment with just one push. “Okay, if you’re so capable, leave now and never step back in. You’re a b*tch if you ever step inside again!” Summer slammed the door shut right after she was done talking, causing a loud bang. Mark lost his balance when the door came toward him almost hit him on the nose. Mark did not try to go inside anymore as he was worried that he might make her even angrier. When he got into his car, Charlie gave him a call. He muttered curses under his breath and suppressed his exasperation before he started the car. Charlie howled at top of his lungs in the pub. Mark could not put up with him anymore as he threw a cigarette at him. “Shut your d*mn mouth.” Mark started drinking as he sat on the couch. His mood was not any better. “Had a fight? She is a pregnant woman now so it’s natural for her to have unstable emotions. Haven’t you heard that pregnant women can cry now and laugh at
“When you’re with me, you don’t have to worry. You don’t have to think too much or pick your words when you talk to me, okay? We are the closest to each other. You don’t have to be rational and calm in front of me. Just like what happened earlier, you can throw a fit and make a mess out of yourself. I love every side of you, do you understand?”She nodded in response. The fact that he knew about the truth did make her feel relieved. “But no matter what happens in the future, you can’t hide anything from me anymore!” Mark obviously did not want to give in to her. His deep eyes narrowed as he started negotiating with her. “A deal is made by mutual agreement. It can never be one-sided…”“Okay, and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said just now, so please don’t take it seriously. I had no idea why those words just came out of my mouth like that—”He did not wait for her to finish speaking as he leaned toward her and bit her rosy lips. He kissed her, swallowing her breaths and words alt
