All Chapters of The Love That Passed: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Jared's POV I carried Colleen as she was already asleep. I sighed when I noticed that she was so light even though she was 5 months pregnant. I put her down on our bed and, just like the other nights, I stared at her beautiful but tired face. She was having a hard time, I know that for a fact. Who wouldn't? Anyone who was in her shoes would feel that way aside from the hurt and pain she was probably trying to fight. While I was struggling to fight the loneliness that I was feeling because of her inevitable passing, she was fighting her sorrow as well, thinking she was going to leave the family she had started to have. I touched her face and I couldn't help but smile when I saw her smile too. She's like a baby that has been played by her angel in her sleep. Even if there were dark circles around her eyes, it was still sparkling whenever she looked at me. The colors on her face that I thought were starting to get back have started to fade again. I touched her on her arm, which

Jared's POV Colleen was very happy when we found out that we would be having a baby girl. She prayed for it and just like what she had told me, God did answer her prayer. Why can't she just pray for her recovery instead? I am not really into the baby's gender. As long as they are both safe, everything is fine with me. I mean more than fine and I will be forever grateful. As the days went on, I started to feel scared. Not for myself but for her. I could see that she was having difficulty with her condition. If only I could carry her burden, I would gladly do it. But I think God is unfair, He made someone like Colleen suffer like this. Or He is greedy, that He wanted her for himself to be the kindest person. I didn't want to blame Him for everything that's happening now. I know for a fact that I too, have a fault. I deprived her of the chance to extend her life. But I am not God, but He is. He could do anything he wanted with just a snap of his fingers. He could make my Colleen bette

Jared’s POV “Hi, Colleen!!!” Ingrid greeted my wife happily and of course, she greeted her back with the same enthusiasm. “Ingrid,” she said and accepted the kiss my sister was giving her. I invited Mom and Ingrid over. It was Saturday and I decided to make every Saturday of Colleen’s life filled with memories of the people she loved. “Hi, son.” Mom greeted me. I don’t know, but every time we see each other, I always see sadness in her eyes. Maybe because of our situation, so I think I have to talk to her about that. I didn’t want her to worry about us, either. “Hello, mom. Thank you for coming over.” I said as I gave her a sincere smile, and then she went to sit with Colleen. I followed her after I finished setting up the grill. “Wow, big brother Jared, this is so fun,” Marcus exclaimed as soon as he arrived, as he helped Diane push Uncle Rick’s wheelchair. Mommy Lucy was in the kitchen with Betty getting the other food. “Did you like it?” Ingrid asked with a broad smile. “Yes

Jared's POV I felt lost after that moment. I know that Colleen doesn't need any more worry, but I couldn't help it. I'm just glad that she didn't take it differently, crying in front of her again. Sometimes, I feel weak. Whose man ever cries over a woman? Not many, right? People who love deeply only get hurt. I think it was tragic. Thinking about my wife now, I had to be strong for our baby too. I don't know what will happen when Colleen really leaves us after. How am I going to be a good father to our daughter? I promised that I would always make her feel proud of me, but how am I going to do that when she is not around anymore? "Jared," I looked at my sister, who looked worried. "I'm sorry that I had to ask you to come with me. I know what you have been through but I really need your help," she explained. I smiled at her and said, "No worries, Ingrid. It's really fine." She asked me to come to the office because of some problems that she couldn't understand. It was only a minor p

Third Person's POV "Are you sure about that?" Stacey asked Derrick. "I thought you said that,--" "Forget what I said!" he exclaimed, and everyone in the visiting room looked at them. "I asked one of my trusted men to look into it and he confirmed it. I am going to make him pay for ruining my career. I am not going to make him live happily with his wife. He did it for his wife, then I am going to make his action worthless." he added, "What are you going to do?" Stacey asked and her eyes widened when she realized something, "Don't tell me, no, stop it, Derrick. The woman was already dying. She wouldn't even last for a year." "That's what makes my revenge sweet, he thinks he still has less than a year to be with his wife," Derrick replied crazily. Stacey was just looking at him in disbelief. She may have been a sl*t and she used Jared, but she can't be a murderer, especially to someone who was already dying. "Look, I was angry at Jared as well. He talked to me with a loudspeaker,
