Semua Bab I Was Always Yours: Bab 61 - Bab 70

As Samara closed the door behind her, she took a deep, trembling breath. The conversation had brought her no closer to peace, yet a resolve was forming in her heart. She would take the DNA test, whatever it revealed. She had to know, for herself and for Frederick, whether their future was possible.Meanwhile, back at Frederick’s home, Caroline was patiently waiting. She had seen Samara leave earlier and knew this was her moment. She found Frederick in his study, his gaze distant as he absently flipped through documents, though his mind was clearly elsewhere.“Frederick,” she said softly from the doorway.He looked up, momentarily surprised, but then nodded, his shoulders slumping slightly. “Caroline… I just don’t know what to think anymore. It feels like everything I thought was solid is slipping away.”Caroline stepped closer, her eyes sympathetic, her hand reaching out to gently touch his shoulder. “You’re carrying so much weight, Frederick. You’ve done everything to hold things tog

The following morning, Samara awoke to the gentle morning light filtering through the curtains, momentarily forgetting the turmoil that had brought her here. But as reality sank in, so did the weight of everything she’d been through. She felt a familiar pang of sadness, but beside it was a renewed determination. Today would bring answers—answers that might finally give her the clarity she so desperately needed.Damien, who had woken up early, was in the kitchen making coffee. When he saw her, he gave a warm smile, extending a cup toward her. “Thought you could use this,” he said, his tone light but his eyes filled with understanding.“Thanks,” she murmured, wrapping her hands around the cup, letting its warmth seep into her. They shared a quiet moment, and she felt herself relax in his presence.A while later, after they’d gathered the strength they needed, they left for the hospital. The drive was filled with a nervous silence, both of them feeling the gravity of the day ahead. As th

Damien nodded, pulling her into his arms, offering her a safe space to release the emotions that had been building up inside her. She allowed herself to cry, feeling the catharsis of finally letting go of the past and the heartbreak that had accompanied it. Damien held her, his presence steady and reassuring.After a while, they moved inside, and he guided her to sit down with him on the couch. “You’ve been through so much, Samara. And now that it’s all out in the open, maybe… maybe it’s time to focus on building something new. For you, for the baby.”She looked at him, wiping her tears. “It feels surreal, letting go of something I held onto so tightly. I thought Frederick would be the one by my side through all of this, but… I guess life has its own plans.”Damien brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. “Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we think it is. I’ll be here for you, however you need me. I know we’ve both made mistakes, but I’m ready to be there for you and our baby if y

Samara’s hands trembled as she fumbled for her phone. Damien’s words echoed in her ears, each syllable slicing through her already frazzled mind. Frederick? After all this time? She hadn’t spoken to him in years, not since she had chosen to move forward with Damien.“Samara, we don’t have time,” Damien urged, his voice strained. His usual calm demeanor had been replaced with sheer desperation.She nodded, her fingers unsteady as she dialed the number she had sworn never to call again. The ringing felt endless, each tone heightening her anxiety.Finally, a familiar voice answered. “Samara?”Her breath caught. Hearing Frederick’s voice after so long sent an unwelcome pang through her chest. “Frederick,” she managed, her voice breaking. “I… I need your help. It’s my son, Ethan. He’s in the hospital. They say neither Damien nor I are a match for a blood transfusion. You… you might be.”There was silence on the other end of the line, and for a moment, she thought he might hang up. Then his

The tension in the air lingered long after Damien left the room, his footsteps echoing down the corridor. Samara stood frozen, tears blurring her vision as she looked at Ethan, who was now peacefully asleep.Her mind raced, replaying the events of the night. Damien’s words, Frederick’s hurt expression, and Ethan’s fragile smile all swirled together in a maelstrom of emotions. She sank into the chair beside Ethan’s bed, resting her head in her hands, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs.A soft knock at the door startled her, and she quickly wiped her tears. Frederick stood there, hesitant but resolute.“Can I come in?” he asked softly.She nodded, her voice barely audible. “Of course.”Frederick stepped inside, his gaze immediately drawn to Ethan. His face softened, a blend of awe and heartbreak etched into his features. He pulled up a chair and sat beside her, the silence between them heavy but not unwelcome.“I’m sorry for earlier,” Frederick began, his voice quiet. “I didn’t mean
