Chapter 70

Chapter 70In the next few days, the construction of my cafe's new branch began. Sean settled the papers for me and we settled the land’s payment as well. Since the construction started, I became so busy as well, taking care of everything for my business. “We only have two months left here. Have you forgotten that we are citizens in Australia?” Charlotte uttered while I was busy with all the paperwork on the table. “I know that. But the construction will take 3 months,” I heaved a heavy sigh, filled with frustration. I haven't had a lot of sleep ever since the construction started. I mean, I wanted this, right? I should bear with it. “That's fine. You can go back to Australia for a month then go back here again. Nathan can surely check the café, or maybe Mom.” Knox said and stole my coffee and changed it with hot chocolate. “Caffeine isn't good for the body,” he mumbled. I didn't complain anymore. How can I? He's a doctor. Besides, Knox has always been like this to us. He's alway

Chapter 71

Chapter 71“Y-You're dying?” Have you experienced an earthquake? Because from that very moment, I felt like I experienced it myself. My world suddenly shattered again. My plate is already full for today. First, I was so occupied with work and my son was brought here in the hospital for his stomach that might be not just a simple stomach ache. Now, here I am, having another trouble in mind after hearing that Sean is dying. “Dahlia,” Sean called. I saw how surprised he was when he saw me standing right in front of the door. “What are you doing here?” Nathan quickly went towards me and closed the door that they left open earlier. “Come on, let's go talk ou—”“Shut up, Nathan!” I exclaimed, shiveringly. He was stunned when I raised my voice at him. My entire body was shivering while tears started to escape my eyes again. I was indeed in awe. My lips parted as I distanced myself from the two of them for a moment. I was trying so hard to absorb everything I heard. “I'm asking you onc

Chapter 72

Chapter 72“Emman, run!”“Stop, Dad!” I found myself wearing that protruded smile plastered on my lips while I was watching my family playing in the garden. I was at the mini table right there, watching Knox, Claire and my son play together. Seeing their broadest smiles and hearing their truthful laughter warms my heart as well. “The kids grew up so fast, right?” Charlotte uttered and chuckled. “They did,” I replied. I remember how adorable Claire was when she was a kid. Emman and her are alike. At their young age, they speak like adults, even their minds are like the minds of mature adults beyond their age.“In my entire life, I never once thought that I would have a son to build my own family,” I heaved a heavy sigh. “I saw myself creating a family with Sean, but who would have thought that it would be Knox, right?” I shook my head unbelievably. All I could do was to smirk from everything that happened all these years. “Do you remember how Knox didn't sleep the whole week beca

Chapter 73

Chapter 73“Emman is your son, Sean…he's our son,” I bursted into tears as soon as I said that. After carrying it for 6 years, I finally spilled the truth to Sean. His lips parted but he remained stunned. He didn't move as if he became a statue who was still absorbing it in his head. Instead, a single tear just fell from his left eyes while his eyes were firm and surprised, glued at me. “I-I’m so sorry, Sean.” He dodged my touch before I could even reach his arm. He stood up and turned his back at me, facing his desk. He didn't say a word, but I could see right through his face that he was upset because of what I had done. “You were pregnant?” He uttered as he faced me again. I nodded slowly in tears. What I just told him weakened him. I can see that from his eyes right now. I was only trembling while looking at him. My chest was aching every pound of it. “And you didn't tell me?” He asked unbelievably with unfairness invading his eyes. “I'm sorry, Sean. I'm so so—”“Bullshit, D

Chapter 74

Chapter 74 “Do you think he won't hate me for being absent all those years?” Sean asked while he was driving. We are already near our house. After I revealed the truth to him and right after we fought, we reconciled for the sake of Emman. I still feel bad everytime he mentions his absence, which was not just his fault, but mine. I do not blame myself as I know that I had a deep reason to leave and hide my pregnancy from him, however, I couldn't help but wonder what change could it make if I came back and just told him that I was conceiving our child. “Emman thinks like an adult,” I uttered as the side of my lips rose. That is one of the things that makes me proud as his mother. “Like Claire before?” He asked and chuckled. “Yeah,” I paused for a moment. “Raising him alone wasn't hard. Not because Knox was there, but because Emman stood up with me like a real man beyond his age. He did everything to avoid worrying me and making me feel a headache. He's matured at his young age,” I

Chapter 75

Chapter 75 “Have you asked him?” Nathan asked. He came here this morning and I guess he only stopped by to ask about that. I placed the coffee on the small table in our living area before I glanced at him and sat beside him. “I did,” I replied. “He already knows that truth as well about Emman,” I added and wore that tiny smile. “How sure are you that Sean will live if he takes the treatment?” I asked again, even though Sean already refused to take it no matter how I persuaded him.Nathan paused and looked away for a moment before he blew out a little sigh.“As I said it's a risk, Dahlia. Who knows? He might still live if he decides to take the trea—”“And if he doesn't?” It shut him up. I witnessed how he was lost for words the moment I brought up the other side of Sean's situation. No matter how we avoid thinking about that negative side, we cannot run away from it; we cannot deny that death is indeed chasing him, trying to collect his life. “Dahlia, you know that I'm just doing

Chapter 76

Chapter 761 month later…Some people hate to stare right through the sky when it is too bright. They get blind from it and the sky's brightness is hurting their eyes. But then, I am different. Watching how each cloud moved slowly in front of me felt like it was dragging me along with it as well. Seeing the beautiful color of the sky along with the sunshine shining upon us captivates me entirely. I heaved a heavy sigh as I closed my eyes calmly, feeling the heat of the sun shining upon my skin. I just offered myself there, laying down on the sand and enjoying the peace. I could hear the noises of the people around me who were having their own worlds but nothing can beat the deafening but mesmerizing sound of the ocean’s waves. I could hear every move of it, back and forth. The sand on my skin was so gentle that I felt even more comfortable with it. “Wake up, woman.” My eyes remained closed even after hearing that voice. I don't need a minute to identify whose voice is that. I heard

Chapter 77

Chapter 77“AHHHHHHH!” “Sean, please! Let's bring you to the hospital!” I exclaimed for the third time while everything was a mess inside his room. I couldn't do anything while he was shouting in pain and crumpling on his bed. He looks so pale and weak and yet I couldn't do anything to help him out. He was panting, chasing his breath before he just grabbed the bread knife from the side table of his bed and now glanced at me, pointing me out with that damn knife. “Kill me, Dahlia! Just fucking kill me, please!” At that moment that he was almost begging me to just kill him, I felt how many daggers pierced my chest that I knew it was bleeding so much. My tears began to betray me again while staring at Sean. His eyes were glazing over while he was holding the bread knife so tight. “What are you waiting for? K-Kill me! AHHHHHH!” The knife fell from his grasp as he screamed again and started to crumple in so much pain on his bed. “Sean,” my voice broke as I went beside him and held hi

Chapter 78

Chapter 78I was staring at the coffee in front of me, watching it become cold. I am at home now. Later, I will go back to Sean's house to look after him again. I feel tired, but I know that it is not because of taking care of Sean; I'm tired of seeing him struggling and hearing his screams each day. I feel like it traumatized me. His screams stay in my head and I still hear it wherever I am. “You okay?” Knox asked and sat beside me. I had to pull myself back together as I don't want to worry him. “Yeah, I think so.” I replied as I forced myself to draw a tiny smile. “Are you sure? I know you, Dahlia. You can't hide things from me,” he added and I felt his hand invade my hand on the table. That was the moment I glanced at him—and in one snap, I felt my eyes watered immediately. I look like a kid who cries automatically after seeing her father. “Perhaps, not.” I replied. Knox did what he always does. He pulled me closer to him and hid my face on his broad chest. I began to sob and

Chapter 79

Chapter 79“They want to see you, Sean.” I uttered. Emman was still with us, sitting on the other side of the bed. He looked away, and I knew that he didn't want to see them or should I say, he didn't want them to see him looking feeble like this. I heaved a light sigh while still holding his hand. “Don't you want to see them? They have been worried about you, especially Ford.” I mentioned trying to convince him. He shut his eyes firmly before he finally made a nod at me. “Really?” I asked delightedly. “Yeah,” he replied. I smiled from ear to ear after hearing that.“Hold on, I'll call them.” I quickly said before I ran out of the room to call the three of them waiting downstairs. “Can you calm down? You'll see him,” I heard Charlotte say to Ford who was walking endlessly in front of them. “He wants to see you,” I said, loud enough for them to hear me. All their eyes shifted at me from upstairs while I was wearing a soft smile, feeling a glimpse of hope. After a few weeks of no
