Thorns of the Heart Chapter 67
Madison’s POV.I could hear a beeping sound in my head as he said his words gradually: “Seeing all of you present here for our family dinner gives me joy; some of us here are not related by blood, but business has made us family. I most certainly say it’s a wonderful thing, and I pray we continue to work together for the best.” Everyone clapped their hands loudly.“And above all, I have wonderful news to tell everyone of us seated here.” I played drum rolls right in my head as his mom had a smile on her cheek.She thought he was about to bring out the ring from his pocket because he had dropped his wine glass on the table and stuck his hand in his pocket when he said that. His mom must have thought he was going to embarrass me by calling Brenda up and telling me to go and sit down. Such a level of inhumanity.He continued by saying, “I think I am the happiest man on earth right now. I know most are asking why. Why is Tyler so happy? I will tell you; I think you all deserve to hear it.

Madison’s POV.She began to cry. I had to lean her head on my shoulder and gently pat her on the back with comforting words.“Ma’am I understand how you feel right now. Every woman on earth deserves to hear the cry of a baby and to carry them in their arms. I believe that you will have yours someday and you will remember all that I said to you on this day. I know it really stinks that you can’t have a child and your husband would. I believe you found hope in yourself. I know all of these are hard for you to handle but crying won’t make it any easier for you, ma’am. “ My words gave her comfort as she wiped her tears and left. While I was comforting the woman, I saw how Brenda twisted her eyes and bit her right lips.She was looking at Tyler, but he paid no attention to her; he was busy with the people who were giving him pleasantries.“I wish you safe delivery. Maddy, I saw the worry in her eyes. I had to tell her the story of my mother. I told her about how my mother waited for six y

The natural breeze was blowing into the car and I closed my eyes as I enjoyed nature’s call.The wind felt so good on my face, and I took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air. I felt so alive and grateful for this moment. I felt like I could conquer anything, like nothing could stop me now.I opened my eyes and looked at Tyler. He was smiling, and I knew that he was feeling the same way. We drove in silence, enjoying the moment and the peace that came with it.I was grateful for this gift God gave me.

Madison’s POV.“Okay, I’m going to ask you some questions about your pregnancy,” she said. “Are you having any pain?” I shook my head, even though she couldn’t see me. “No, I’m not having any pain,” I said. “And how’s your morning sickness?" she asked, her voice full of concern. “I haven’t had any morning sickness,” I said, feeling a little relieved. “Okay, that’s good,” she said, sounding relieved as well. “How about your energy level?” she asked, moving on to the next question.“My energy level is pretty normal,” I said, trying to be honest. “I’m not feeling overly tired or anything like that.” “And how about your appetite?” she asked, continuing with the questions. “My appetite is normal too,” I said, feeling a bit like I was being interrogated. “Well, based on the information you’ve given me, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry about the baby’s kicking,” she said, her voice reassuring. “But if anything changes or you start having any pain, please call us right away.“Thank

Madison's POV The trip lasted longer than I l expected and it was almost as if we wouldn’t arrive home. The car was calm at this moment, Tyler was focused on the road and I rested on my back and enjoyed the breeze. Indeed, motherhood brings joy. Tyler turned on the radio and the song was familiar and comforting, and it felt like a perfect way to end the day. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow on the horizon. As we sang along, I felt my mind uplifted; I was having a feeling of contentment. “This is perfect,” I said, my voice full of happiness. “It really is,” Tyler said, his eyes never leaving the road. “I’m so glad we’re doing this together.” “Me too,” I said, leaning my head against the window. And in that moment, I knew that no matter what happened, we would be okay. We finally got home and I got out of the car. I stretched my leg for a little over one minute because it felt stiff. As I stretched, I felt a sense of relief. I had been sitting for so long that my muscles w

Madison's POV I had found the perfect partner to go on this journey with, and I knew that no matter what happened, we would face it together. “Do you want to try to eat something?” he asked, gently rubbing my back. “I think I can manage some toast,” I said, my stomach starting to settle. He went to the kitchen and made some toast, bringing it back to me on a small plate. I nibbled on it slowly, savoring the simple, comforting taste. “Thank you,” I said, feeling better already. “Of course,” he said, sitting down next to me. “Anything for you and my unborn child,” he said, feeling overwhelmed by my gratitude for this man who was by my side through thick and thin. Tyler leaned in to kiss me softly. “We’re in this together. You’re going to make an amazing mother,” he said, his eyes full of adoration. “I’m going to do my best,” I said, feeling the weight of responsibility on my shoulders. But I also felt a sense of excitement, knowing that this was the start of a new chapter in our live
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 73
Madison’s POV. I was eating and enjoying my meal, not minding how I was chewing loudly. The food was good; I didn’t have doubts because it was from Mrs. Sophie. “You seem to enjoy your food. “Yes, you have no idea how weak and hungry I am feeling.” “I’m glad we could get you something to eat,” he said, a warm smile on his face. “I know being in the hospital can be tough.” “It’s not so bad,” I said, taking another bite of my food. “I’m just grateful to have you here with me.” “I’m happy to be here,” he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.” I felt my heart swell at his words, and I couldn’t help but feel grateful for our love and connection. No matter what happened, we would always have each other. The doctor came in; it didn’t look like he was coming with good news. His face was like a wet weekend and he struggled to put up a smile. “Hi there, Ms. Maddy,” he said, his voice sounding tired. “How are you feeling today?” “I’m feeling bet

Madison's POV I went into the guest room so I could talk to Rose freely without any restrictions. I dialed the number and it rang once before she picked up the all. I began to sobe as she took the call. “Hello?” Rose’s voice was soft and comforting, and I could feel myself starting to relax. “Hi Rose,” I said, taking a deep breath. “It’s Maddy. I need to talk to you.” “Of course,” she said, her voice full of concern. “Is everything okay?” “No,” I said, my voice shaking. “I’ve been diagnosed with a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and I could hear Rose taking a deep breath. “What !!! Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of worry. “I’m not sure,” I said, my voice cracking. “I’m scared, Rose. I don’t know what to do.” “It’s okay to be scared,” she said, her voice soothing. “You’re going through something really difficult. But you’re strong, and you’re going to get through this.” I felt myself start to cry, the tears stream

I wanted to be honest with Madison about everything.”My mom’s eyes narrowed further, her worry escalating into frustration. “Honest conversation? Tyler, after everything that happened in the past, you think you can just waltz back into my daughter’s life and have a ‘heart-to-heart’? What gives you that right?”Tyler sighed, understanding the gravity of the situation. “Mrs. Anderson, I know I messed up in the past. I hurt Madison, and I take full blame for that. But people can change, and I want to make amends. I love your daughter, and I want to be there for her.”My mom crossed her arms, her anger obvious. “Change? Love?

The goal is to make her as comfortable as possible during the healing process.”Once Madison’s pain medication was administered, she started to relax, with the sharp pain gradually subsiding.

Thorns of the Heart Chapter 194
Madison’s POVI lay on the narrow hospital bed, my eyes half-closed, trying to make sense of the fuzzy shapes around me. The sterile scent of the hospital room filled my nose, and the rhythmic beeping of machines provided a disconcerting soundtrack to my hazy thoughts. The pain on my side felt like a sharp jab, a constant reminder of something I couldn't quite grasp.I heard my mom's voice in the distance, a comforting murmur that reassured me, "You'll be fine, Madison. The doctors are taking care of you." It was a distant echo, like a lifeline connecting me to the world outside my foggy cocoon. I tried to focus on the words, to find solace in them, but the pain and dizziness were relentless.A nurse came in, her friendly face obscured by a mask, and checked the machines that surrounded me.

"Building trust with Madison's mother will also take time. It's crucial to be patient and show through your actions that your intentions are sincere. Avoid confrontations, be respectful, and give her the space she might need to process everything."I sighed, a mix of frustration and understanding. "I just don't want to be seen as the bad guy here. I genuinely care about Maddison, and I want her to have all the support she needs."Dr. Bennett nodded in agreement. "It's evident, Tyler. Just be yourself and focus on being a positive presence. Actions often speak louder than words, and with time, her mother may come to see your genuine concern for Maddison's well-being."Feeling a bit more assured, I nodded. "Thanks, Dr. Bennett. Your advice means a lot. I'll do my best to be patient and understandi

I raised my hand, and with a tentative knock, I announced my presence.“Come in,” a voice called from within the room.I pushed the door open and entered, finding a comfortable-looking office with a desk cluttered with papers. Dr. Bennett, with his graying hair, looked up from his work, offering me a reassuring smile.“Tyler, finally you are here. Please, have a seat,” he gestured towards the chair across from his desk.I hesitated for a moment, feeling a mix of nervousness and relief as he took the offered seat. The chair creaked slightly under his weight as he settled in, glancing around the room at the diplomas and medical charts adorning the walls.“Thanks, Dr. Bennett,” I mumbled, shifting uncomfortably in his seat. “Sorry I’m late. Got a bit turned around in this place. It’s like a maze.”Dr. Bennett chuckled warmly, “No worries, Tyler. Hospitals can be confusing. I’m
