LOGINNATHALIE’S POV š
–
I can’t tell if I’m imagining the distance between us and Calix, or if it’s because he hasn’t gotten enough rest.
It feels like Calix is growing distant from me.
He hasn’t talked to me since he woke up.
Is what he means that will get to know me all over again? Just like before, when he was so distant toward me, and then…
I couldn’t help laughin
VERONICA’S POV š-“Why can’t I get in?! Harrison knows me! Let me through if you don’t wanna get both fired!”I’ve been allowed to enter Smith General Hospital again. It was surprising but I didn’t think much of it and I made my way straight toward Harrison’s office floor.Reaching the hallway, I was stopped by two security guards.“We also know you, Ma’am. Mr. Harrison strictly ordered us not to let you enter or even walk through the hallway to his office. You may call Mr. Harrison to confirm this matter.”I slapped the worthless security guard. “What right does someone like you have to tell me what to do?”“I’m sorry, Ma’am. I was just suggesting.”“You’re worse than an idiot. Did I ask for your opinion? If I were to give an opinion on your worthless life as a lowly security gua
NATHALIE’S POV š-“Once the annulment is finalized, let’s be together from then on. I promise, I’ll love and care for Xander exactly as my own son.”“Calix...” I stopped myself from telling him the truth.I shouldn’t give in to emotions when it comes to my children.“Are you sure about what you’re saying?” I asked.“I’m absolutely sure about you,” he said affectionately while holding my hand. “And of what my heart feels for you.”I noticed the rise and fall of his adam’s apple.“Nathalie... I wonder if you could...” He seem to hesitate before speaking further. &l
NATHALIEāS POV š-After I put Xander to sleep and sent a message to Tyler, I went downstairs to see ā to talk Calix.I caught him talking to someone on his phone.āYes, I received my vitamins. Pictures? Do you want pictures now? The actual contents? Okay, wait a moment.āCalix removed his phone from his ear and pressed something on it. I think he ended the call.He stood up and took the vitamins he always took twice a day, from the cabinet.I quietly went to the living room and sat on the couch while watching Calix take pictures of his vitamins.I think he had already sent the pictures to Veronica so he hid the vitamins.When Calix faced me, he paused for a moment on his way back to the couch the moment our eyes met.āCould you get the first aid kit too? Iāll replace the bandage on your hand.āHe fetched the first-aid box from the open cabinet with no cover, and walked up to me.As he sat close by, I began tending his small scratches and cuts.āHow was your day?ā I asked to break th
NATHALIEāS POV š-After Tyler and I finished exchanging our usual text messages, I replied to Averyās messages.'Sorry Ave, if I only texted this morning. Xander and I are fine, donāt worry. Iām also sorry if you postponed your return in Florida because of me. I think I can meet you tomorrow.'She replied, 'You donāt have to apologize. At least I have a reason to stay longer in this president suite. HAHAHAHA. My flight to Barcelona is in four days, so I still have plenty of time.'I replied, 'Thanks, Ave.' then I put my phone down on the bed-side.I sprayed alcohol on my hand first then gently woke Xander up.āMy little one, wake up. Itās breakfast time.āI gently patted his arm.āMy little one, itās time for us to eat.āāMommy?āāItās me, My litte one.āHe opened his eyes. He was still blinking and then rubbed his eyes.āOops, my little one,ā I gently hold both of his wrists. āYou canāt do that.ā I said, but I wasnāt sure.Iām not sure if he can wipe his eyes without having washed
NATHALIE’S POV š-Right as I walked back into the living area, Harrison had sat there, toweling his wet hair.“This is more tiring than I expected.”Besides the kitchen, he cleaned the entire living room, except where Calix slept.After that, he took a shower and used Calix’s clothes.“Here, I prepared something for you.” I put down the chicken sandwich and orange juice. “Sorry this is all I can offer for you.” then sat down.He took the chicken sandwich and his eyes widened at the first bite.“Why? Is the filling spoiled?”Harrison shook his head then drank and swallowed, “It just surprised me how identical this filling is to Auntie Margaret’s. You got exactly the taste of her special recipe.”“Actually, it took me a while to get the same taste as that spread…” and then I told him h
NATHALIE’S POV š–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
