AUTHOR'S POV
"Harvey, do you still have feelings for Angel?"
Those were the words Sean asked after Angel left. The last three days Sean had purposely stopped talking to Angel, not because he hated Angel, but he had been thinking a lot. Sean clearly loves Angel, until his love hurts his girlfriend again in a different way.
Harvey glanced at his younger brother warily, "Why do you ask that?"
"Because after death I can't possibly ask."
"Sean!" shouted Anne interrupting. "You'll be fine. Don't say weird things."
"Don't interfere." Sean said.
"Sean! She's our mom. Don't be rude to her." Upset Harvey.
"I know she's our mom, but do you remember the last time she saw me? Yes, at my wedding." Sean smiled wryly, then his gaze was now on Anne who was starting to cry. "You know that I got Angel pregnant, but you forced me to marry Jessie only to protect Harvey's feelings. You hoped that that damn marriage would get Angel out of my life. Th
Angel's POV "We broke up? Are you kidding?" I looked around, looking for the possibility if Sean had put a hidden camera or something. Sean likes to tease me. I stopped laughing because Sean's face didn't look like he was playing. "I'm serious, Angel." For a moment I digested Sean's request carefully. "W-why is it suddenly like this?" "It's not sudden. I've been thinking for the last few days. I've also told Harvey and my mom about my decision." I looked at Sean in disbelief. If Sean had gone to the extent of telling Harvey and Anne about his decision, it was serious. I gripped Sean's hand tightly as my face looked at him in panic. "D-did I do something wrong? Tell me." "I'm giving you freedom, Angel. Don't you understand?" This time Sean spoke more firmly. "You can go where you like. Live in the country you've always dreamed of with Harriet. Start a new life without me. I've already sent the money into your savings account. If
Angel's POVThis afternoon Harvey and I went back to the hospital to see Sean. Sean was watching television, exactly the same as when I came here this morning. He saw my presence, but didn't say anything. Finding Sean ignoring me, I stayed in the doorway until Harvey pulled me in."Sean, Angel is here." Harvey said.Sean switched channels without looking at me or Harvey. "Why is she here again? Isn't my relationship with her over?"I looked down, and fiddled with my fingers. I shook my head and gave Harvey a sign that I couldn't stay here any longer. I want to go. But Harvey held my waist so I wouldn't keep walking backwards."Is this how you end a relationship? This is childish, and annoying." Harvey said as he stepped closer to Sean. "You used to ruin my marriage with Angel because you loved her. When you already have her, why do you throw Angel like trash? Don't you know how much I loved her too?"Sean gripped the television remote tighte
I remember how I struggled to have a child. For years I waited for a miracle, then asked myself; does God still not entrust me as a mother? Then my prayers were answered with Harriet, the beautiful and adorable female version of Sean. When I was pregnant with Harriet, Sean left me. And now the same thing is happening again. No, now it's even worse. Sean not only intended to leave me, but he also wanted me to abort my womb. A tiny fetus that is only two weeks old. "Sean, don't make Angel have an abortion! Otherwise you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" Harvey shouted while being pulled by hospital security. When Harvey beat Sean a few minutes ago, I wanted to restrain Harvey, but how could I do that when Sean had said such cruel words? I'm even quite grateful for what Harvey did earlier. Doctor Russell asked me to leave Sean's room so Sean could rest. As I was about to walk out, Sean grabbed my wrist, and I let go for the umpteenth time. "
"Once again I ask you. Are you sure about this decision?" I nodded in a lying position. Abortion is legal, but only for rape victims or those with medical indications. So I'm looking for a clinic which is certainly not legal. I knew it was easier for me to take misoprostol as an abortion pill because my fetus was still small and weak. But I couldn't bear to do it myself, and I'd rather let someone else abort my poor baby. Yesterday, after finding all of Sean's meds, I had a big fight with him. I feel betrayed. All my energy and time was wasted during the last month. Why should I fight so hard when he refuses to live? I'm the only one trying here, while he has no desire to recover at all. My disappointment ended in this cursed place. "Yes." I answered. "Then you can spread your legs and bend your knees. You're in a position like you're about to give birth." This middl
AUTHOR'S POV "Stop it!" Angel had almost lost consciousness, suddenly heard Sean's scream. Is this a hallucination? "S-stop, I beg you, madam." Angel's eyelids fluttered, and found Sean was crying. No, this wasn't just Angel's hallucination. This is reality. Sean pleads with an old woman named Olive not to have their child aborted. Even Sean was pleading with his hands clasped together, and he nearly fell out of his wheelchair. His sanity just returned. He really couldn't bear to see the sadness on Angel's face, and it occurred to him that their baby must be in pain too. Sean loves them, so why should he put his loved ones in such a difficult situation? Just because Sean wasn't sure he would recover, and he wasn't sure he would be able to take care of his second child in the future, why did he have to go this far? "Is the baby still... here?" Sean asked Olive. Sean felt a tremendous sense of dread. Whether Sean will die soon or not, Sean certainly doe
AUTHOR'S POVIt's been a week since Angel almost had an abortion. Angel finds Sean back to normal. Sean is chatty, mischievous, and likes to tease her. All of that was better than Sean's loss of zest for life."I want to go home soon." Sean said while playing with Angel's hair.Angel tilted her body slightly, allowing her to see Sean clearly. They were sleeping in Sean's bed. "I can't wait for that day too." Angel fiddled with the buttons of Sean's hospital pajama, then looked up. "This may sound like an exaggeration, but I already have a lot of plans for our little family."Sean smiled, "What plan? Tell me.""I want to build a wooden house in our backyard. It's been my dream since I was little. And I hope our kids will love playing there too." Angel chuckled embarrassed because her request sounded like a child. "I've also been looking for some good schools for Harriet. You know I'm not trying to push Harriet academically, but I still want her to g
No one ever thought Sean's health would improve so quickly. Doctor Russell, and the other doctors in charge of Sean's name were shocked. Generally, patients who are already in stage three will have difficulty with the things Sean does. Sean's weight is gradually increasing, the lump on Sean's neck is getting thinner, and many other unexpected advances. Even though Sean still needs to use a wheelchair, it's still a huge improvement. Indeed, positive thoughts have a big impact on the body's immune system. "Where's Harriet?" Sean asked via video call. Ah, Harriet has had a fever these past few days, so Sean told Angel to take care of their daughter. Harvey will come in the afternoon to look after Sean. "I really miss our princess." Of course Sean missed Harriet. Since being admitted to the hospital, he had not once seen Harriet in person, only through a video call. But the good news is that Sean is no longer sensitive when they talk about Harriet. "Harriet is painting."
"What should I wear tomorrow?" asked Anne. The mother of Sean and Harvey keeps asking the same question. Anne also opens the websites of world famous brands to find good clothes. She looked nervous after being told that her granddaughter was having a birthday. Her heart was pounding unsteadily because tomorrow would be her first meeting as a grandmother. "Harvey, is this dress good?" Ah, Harvey and Anne have been keeping Sean in the hospital the last few days. They let Angel go home to take care of Harriet. "Good, but isn't that too much?" Harvey said. "You're right. Surely my beautiful granddaughter wouldn't like it." Anne agrees with Harvey's suggestion. "Or should I buy some clothes for Angel too?" Anne whispered as if she was talking to herself. While Anne was looking for clothes, Sean and Harvey looked at each other and held back their smiles. Anne and Angel's last meeting was bad, but Anne intends to open up her feelings. Why glorify hate? It's
It's been a month since Darla sprained her leg. So it's been a month since Darla hasn't spoken to Sean again. Darla forgot about Steve's threats because she was already hurt by Sean's words. How could Darla approach Sean when Sean's attitude was so arrogant? Besides... besides that Darla is pregnant. Yes, Darla got pregnant by Sean. Unfortunately she still keeps her pregnancy a secret from anyone, except for Britney. So Darla decided to stop working at the nightclub and Britney allowed it. Today Darla is cooking a lot of food because it is a special day. Today is Noah's first day of school. Since being pregnant, Darla feels more passionate about cooking. The great thing is that Darla's cooking is now very delicious. It's 1pm and Noah should be back from school. She paced back and forth in front of the house anxiously. Suddenly a taxi pulled up in front of her house and Noah got out of there. Not only that, Noah was with Meredith. "Noah, come here," Darla said
Darla never imagined that she would be in this situation. She was on Sean's back. Yes, Sean carried her to the mini market. Darla could not focus because Sean's back was so board and wide, besides that the smell of Sean's perfume made Darla mesmerized. Sean's perfume was already mixed with sweat and it reminded her of the time they had sex a few days ago. "Wrap your hands around my neck," Sean said because Darla almost fell over. Slowly Darla's hands were now on Sean's neck. She had been holding Sean's shoulder because she felt it was too awkward. To be honest she was shy, but she couldn't walk alone either. Her ankle was too sore. "Sorry, I must be heavy," said Darla feeling bad. "No, you're not heavy." "I weigh 50 kg." Darla said honestly. “Why did you say that? Do you want to know my weight?” Sean chimed in. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heavy." "If you're still saying the same thing then I'll leave you her
Darla woke up earlier than usual. The night after Sean followed her to the nightclub, Darla couldn't think of anything. She had been quiet for a while in the club and asked Britney for an opinion, after which she decided to take time off work that night. So Darla came back home around 10 and Noah was asleep. Ah, she hasn't even spoken to her younger brother since yesterday afternoon.To refresh her mind, Darla decided to jog around the complex. She also hadn't exercised in a long time so her muscles felt stiff. After warming up, Darla started jogging. She has heard that when we are stressed, jogging is one of the sports that can be used as an option.Yes, Darla is under a lot of stress. Britney's words are still etched in her mind. Darla really had no other choice but to refuse Steve's request, so Darla couldn't help but obey. Darla must look for evidence while she pretends to cooperate with Steve. She honestly didn't want to set Sean up, but Noah's life was at stake.
Harriet was still pretending to be asleep even as Sean carried her. Noah walked behind Sean and Anne, so Noah could see that Harriet was slowly opening her eyes. Noah smiled and Harriet smiled back."Go back to sleep," Noah said quietly.Harriet immediately closed her eyes again. She was quite happy to meet Noah even though this afternoon Sean forbade them to meet. And she was also happy to be carried by Sean. Harriet missed Sean's warm embrace."Noah? Come and walk beside me."Anne's words made Noah run over, so they all walked side by side down the cemetery area. Anne's wrinkled hand gripped Noah's.“We want to thank you. If you hadn't told us about Angel’s grave, we might not have thought of coming here. Previously we were really frantic and panicked,” said Anne gratefully."Yeah, you're welcome, Grandma. Because the only place I can think of is this.” Noah gave a sweet smile."Thank you darling." Once again
In Sean's hand was a toy in the form of a lego. He had just bought this at a toy store as he was going home. Harriet will definitely love this lego. Previously Harriet was still angry that she didn't want to talk to Sean. Sean understood that because lately he had been quite fond of his little daughter.When Sean arrived at his house, he saw Anne was in the yard looking for something. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you looking for?” Sean asked.Anne approached Sean and her face showed panic. “Sean… Harriet disappeared. She's not in the house," answered Anne in a trembling voice."W-what?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. His heart felt like it was going to burst when he heard that. "Are you sure, Mom?""Yeah, I haven't been able to find Harriet since."Sean immediately ran to enter the house. He entered Harriet's room which was no longer locked even though his little daughter had locked it since this afternoon. Sean's feet searched
"Britney? May I ask your advice?”Those were the first words that came out of Darla's lips as soon as she approached Britney. Britney exhaled the smoke, then she pressed the butt against the ashtray."What do you want to ask?"Darla sat down next to Britney. To be honest she was hesitant to talk let alone ask for advice from Britney. Darla used to keep everything to herself, but this time she felt like she wanted to share her worries. Darla wanted to know what a Britney's point of view was."I ... I mean it's about my friend," Darla lied. She couldn't possibly say that this was about her. If Britney knew the truth, Britney might be more frustrated than Darla.“What problem does your friend have?”Darla fiddled with her fingers for a moment before she worked up the courage to speak. “My friend received a threat from someone. She was told to make a man love her, then after that my friend had to leave the man. She is in
Darla was just about to enter the nightclub where she worked and just at that moment Steve called her. She squeezed the phone in her hand because she didn't want to talk to Steve at all. She had already guessed that Steve would ask about the progress of her relationship with Sean. Oh, this can't even be called progress. They even had a fight this afternoon."What are you calling me for?" she asked as soon as she picked up Steve's call. She pulled over to the side of the road right beside the nightclub."Is there any progress?" Steve asked matter-of-factly."Steve, didn't you give me three months?" Darla reminded Steve."Yeah, I'm just making sure you don't retreat unilaterally."Darla snorted. “Did I think I had that kind of opportunity? You put me in the most difficult position.”"It's good that you're aware of that." Steve laughed with satisfaction. “If you are caught unilaterally retreating, then I will not hesitate to k
"Could you show us where your basement is?"Steve did not immediately respond to Xavier's request and it made Harvey smile. Steve seemed a bit taken aback and maybe he was starting to get intimidated that Harvey knew about the secret room.“Yeah, sure, but I haven't been in the basement in a while so maybe it'll get pretty dirty. Maybe about 6 months ago,” Steve said pretending to think.Steve walked in front of them. There is a door and in that room there is a secret staircase leading to the basement. They all descended the stairs and now they were all finally in the basement. Steve turned on the light switch, but the light was dim as a sign that this room was rarely visited. Xavier and his team are even pretty sure that this basement was probably last visited a few months ago. This basement room is dirty and stuffy."This must be your trick. You want to deceive us all," said Harvey confidently. Previously, Dalton had talked about this baseme
After making sure Caroline was waiting in the car, Harvey walked behind Xavier's team. Harvey tried to call Steve's cell phone number to find out if Steve was home or not, but Steve didn't pick up at all. Steve was certainly confused after his crime was caught until the rescue team was here.Harvey and Xavier's team stepped further into the house. This house is very quiet as if uninhabited. Suddenly they heard the sound of the cell phone ringing tone.Xavier glanced at Harvey. "Are you calling him?" Harvey nodded his head, then he showed Xavier the screen of his cell phone. He did call Steve, but he didn't pick up. "Keep calling him. I'm sure he'll pick up if you keep calling him.""Yeah, looks like Steve still doesn't know we're here."“You better look for something in every corner of this house. If there's anything suspicious, you can tell me right away,” Xavier told his team of two men."Okay sir," they answered in unison, then they
