Se connecterAdrian’s Point of View
“You donated blood for me...”
Her words lingered in my mind even after she went to sleep and I was left alone in her living room.
My laptop was open on my lap, an important document waiting to be reviewed.
I needed to finish this by tomorrow morning.
Serena’s Point of View“Conditions?”I stared at Adrian.I was totally confused.“Yes.”He sounded as calm as usual.“What kind of conditions?”He looked at me for a second before he began to speak.“You’ll come to the office with me every morning.”I blinked.“And you’ll return home with me every evening.”“Adrian...” I pouted.“You have so many responsibilities. Client meetings, dinner discussions, and all that. ""As the CEO, those are things you can’t avoid. So... you really don’t have to...”I couldn’t finish what I wanted to say because he began speaking, interrupting me.“I won’t let you wait. If I have something in the evening, Watson will bring you home. And Becky will come and stay with you until I return.”“Adrian!”Making trouble not only for him, but also for Mr. Watson and Becky?Wasn’t this too much?But Adrian didn't even mind my objection, he just continued stating his conditions.“You won’t work in your usual capacity.”What?“Initially, you’ll only take lighter task
Adrian’s Point of View“You donated blood for me...”Her words lingered in my mind even after she went to sleep and I was left alone in her living room.My laptop was open on my lap, an important document waiting to be reviewed.I needed to finish this by tomorrow morning.Still...The document had to keep waiting as I couldn't focus on it at all.My mind kept replaying the scene from earlier over and over again.The way she had looked at me.Slightly confused.So grateful.
Serena's Point of ViewAdrian was already home.He had returned before lunch, just as he had promised.Becky left shortly after that.Before leaving, she reminded Adrian to call her if there was anything we needed.The apartment was quiet once again after she left.I sat on the sofa, thinking about everything Becky had told me.Adrian sat beside me, working on his laptop.He didn't talk much.But almost every hour, he brought me something to drink or eat.By evening, Mr. Watson came by.He handed Adrian a few documents and discussed work with him for several minutes.He had also brought dinner from Uncle Wang's restaurant.Uncle Wang had been sending food every day, saying I needed more energy, even when I could only manage a few bites.After Mr. Watson left, Adrian carefully arranged the food containers on the dining table.Handmade dumplings.And a pot of chicken soup with herbs."He said this is good for recovery," Adrian said as he ladled some soup into my bowl.I quietly watched
Serena's Point of ViewIt had been a week since Theo.Seven mornings of waking up with this unbearable emptiness inside me.As soon as I woke up, for a tiny moment, I would forget...My hand would instinctively rest on my stomach, expecting a gentle kick.Then, the very next second, the harsh reality would crash over me.Theo was no longer here.The pain never became smaller.Sometimes I had to press my hand against my chest because my heart ached so much that I couldn't understand how it was still beating.I still cried every day.Sometimes without even realizing I was crying.Just seeing something ordinary in the apartment was enough to trigger my tears.Because everything in this apartment was connected to him.To my Theo.Nothing could change that.No words.No comfort.No amount of time.But...Somehow...Ther
Adrian's Point of ViewI was making breakfast.Nothing fancy.Just an omelet.Some toast.And coffee with a little milk.Yesterday, Serena had only taken a few sips of water.So today, I wanted her to eat something.Even if it was only a little.Just enough to give her the strength to function.A sigh escaped my lips as I flipped the omelet.Yesterday, I didn't sleep at all.Because every time I closed my eyes...
Serena’s Point of ViewWhen I opened my eyes again, I was no longer in the cemetery.No tiny white coffin.No flowers.I was back in my bedroom.And Theo was gone.Forever...My chest tightened so painfully that I struggled to breathe.I turned my aching head.Adrian was sitting beside the bed.His elbows rested on his knees.His head was lowered.He looked utterly exhausted.Yet the moment he sensed my gaze, he lifted his head.His swollen eyes locked with mine.“Serena?”He stood immediately.“How do you feel?”I didn’t say anything.He reached for the glass of water on the bedside table.“Have some water.”“I don’t want any.”“Just a little.”His voice was gentle but firm.He helped me sit up, supporting my
Serena’s Point of View“Sir… I didn’t realize you had arrived.”Marco’s tone shifted instantly into something respectful and polite as he stepped toward the table by the window.The tall man in the dark suit didn’t respond. He simply looked at the customer, his eyes completely emotionless.I turned
Serena’s Point of View“For table seven!”Lucy called from the kitchen, and I quickly picked up the tray.It was a Friday evening, my third day at Lena’s. With Lena suddenly ill, Marco was managing the restaurant, and the whole place felt slightly off.I made my way through the crowded tables.The
Serena’s Point of ViewFinding a place to stay wasn’t easy, and I didn’t have the luxury to be picky.After a few calls and visits, I finally found a room in a shared apartment.Fortunately, they only required the monthly rent as a deposit.The place was small, just enough for a bed, a table, and a
Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen
