I stood frozen as Red and Felix chatted outside Isla's room. I couldn't help but feel nervous and unsure about what was happening. I had hoped to avoid Felix for a while longer, but fate had other plans. As I stood there, trying to calm my nerves, the door suddenly opened, and Lily stepped out. My heart skipped a beat as she called out to me, "Mom!" and ran towards me, her tiny arms are outstretched. I was about to embrace her when she suddenly turned towards Felix and hugged him instead. I could feel my heart sink as I watched them. Felix was Lily's doctor, and she had grown fond of him. I could feel Felix's eyes on me as Lily hugged him, and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. I knew that he had a right to know about Lily, but I wasn't ready to face him just yet. After Lily hugged Felix, she turned back towards me, "Mom, Doctor Felix makes me feel better," she said with a smile. I could feel the weight of Felix's gaze on me as he waited for me t

As I sat across from Felix, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness and apprehension wash over me. We had been avoiding this conversation for far too long, and now that we were finally sitting down to talk about our past and their future together as parents, it felt like there was a weight on my chest.I took a deep breath and looked into Felix's eyes. His gaze was intense, and for a moment, I felt like he could see right through me."Iris," he said, breaking the silence. "I know we've had our differences, but we need to talk about how we're going to move forward as parents. For our daughter's sake."I nodded, feeling a lump form in her throat. I knew he was right. We couldn't keep avoiding this conversation forever."I'm sorry, Felix," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "For everything that's happened between us. I know I made mistakes, and I know I hurt you."Felix reached across the table and took my hand. His touch was warm and reassuring."Iris, you know it's hard f

"Can we go out?" Max ask me."Sorry, Max. Lily and I have to go somewhere tomorrow," I replied."with Felix?" she asks."Uhh- yes," I said shyly."Oh my gosh! Are you guys back together?" she asks excitedly."No, oh please, don't even think about that," I said, I was embarrassed thinking about that. I'm not hoping at all. It was all in the past and our main priority now is Lily."You can't say that, Iris. Maybe things between you and Felix will come back,"Max said optimistically."I appreciate your positivity, Max, but I don't want to get my hopes up," I replied."I understand. But just remember, you never know what the future holds," Max said with a smile."I'll keep that in mind," I said, returning her smile.As I ended the call, I prepared myself to sleep beside Lily.The next day, Lily and I woke up early to get ready for our trip with Felix. I made sure to pack all the essentials for Lily, including her favorite snacks and toys.When Felix arrived, Lily ran to him with open arms

SPECIAL CHAPTERDOCTOR COLIN'S POINT OF VIEWI watched as Isla took her final breath, her body finally succumbing to the ravages of leukemia. Even though I had seen many patients pass away during my career as a doctor, it still never got easier.But with Isla, it was different. I had fallen in love with her. From the moment I met her, I was drawn to her kind heart and contagious smile. She had a way of making me feel happy and positive, even on the toughest days.I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me as I realized that I would never get to see that smile again, never get to hold her hand, or hear her laugh. She was gone, and the world was a little bit darker without her.But I also knew that Isla wouldn't want us to be sad forever. She was always the one to see the good in every situation, and I wanted to honor that by being positive and strong for her family and friends.As I looked at her peaceful face, I knew that she was finally free from pain and suffering. She

I still remember Iris's birthday, it's tomorrow, but I guess she doesn't plan on celebrating because she never mentioned anything to me. I missed 4 years of her birthdays when I left and I want to make it up for her, so I planned a suprise birthday for her.Today, I contacted someone who will make her cake and arrange a catering for the guess. I didn't invite a lot of people, only her family and few friends."Are you back together?" Jake asks me."No," I said."But it seems like you wanted to be with her again," he smirks."I just want to make up for the lost time, and be a good friend to her," I replied, feeling a bit defensive."Whatever you say, brother, you're obviously still inlove with her. Why don't you talk it out, maybe she still loves you as well," Jake adviced."I appreciate your concern, Jake, but it's not that simple. Iris and I have a complicated history, and we're taking things slow. Right now, I just want to focus on making her happy on her birthday," I explained.Jake
