Semua Bab Too Late To Get Me Back, Husband : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Lara's POV “Is it really incurable?” I asked, my heart in my throat as I squeezed the hem of my gown gently and the doctor nodded.“In my whole experience as a doctor, Mrs. Stone, lung cancer has never been cured successfully. It has spread too far to be treated. Other hospitals may have developed a cure but not ours.” He responded and I let out a shaky sigh, my heart shattering into pieces.I remembered brushing my hair days ago and was shocked at the amount of hair I lost. So it was cancer. “How long do I have, doctor?” I asked shakily, rubbing my pale hands over each other. “How long till this… cancer takes my life?”“Give or take, Mrs Stone, you have less than six months to live.” He responded and my heart sank into my stomach.“But… I'm with a child. It hasn't even been four weeks. How will I give birth to her if I won't even make it to nine months?” I questioned, my eyes watering with tears and he let out a defeated sigh.He placed his hands together on the table as he stared

Lara's POV I never got the chance to tell Gerald that I was pregnant. Or that I was dying in six months. I didn't want to believe that he would actually bring Ria to the house, so I didn't clean the room as he told me to.The doctor specifically told me not to stress myself and I wouldn't do that for a lady who didn't care if I was alive or dead.In two hours, Gerald's car drove into the house and I stood by the window, watching as he stepped out of the car and rushed to the passenger's seat. My heart flew to my throat when he opened the door and Ria stepped out.He brought her here. He actually brought her here.I watched as she slumped into his arms and he held her closely, wrapping her arms around his neck before picking her up in his arms. Gerald had never carried me that way in years.Ria clung to him like a leech, an exhausted expression on her face as Gerald walked into the house with her in his arms. I walked out of the room, my heart shattered at the sight in front of me and

LARA“I didn't do anything, Gerald!” I pleaded, tears burning in my eyes. His eyes burned with hatred as he carried Ria up, her hands hanging limply. “She tried to hurt herself, and I stopped her.”“Stop lying!” he thundered, and I flinched. “Ria has no reason to hurt herself. You're so selfish and jealous that you want her out of this place. You know damn well she doesn't have anywhere else to go, Lara! I only left for thirty minutes, and you did this.”“G-Gerald.” My voice broke, my heart shattering into a million pieces. “How can you think so cruelly of me? I have been with you for three years. You know I would never do such a thing... I'm not that type of person. Ouch.”A sharp pain throbbed in my lower abdomen as though someone were slicing my organs with a knife. Something warm poured out, and I looked down with shaky eyes as thick blood trailed down my legs.“Now you're faking? You should become an actress,” he scoffed, turning toward the door.“Gerald. The baby.” My shaky voic

LARAAfter Bryan left, I couldn’t sleep. I kept tossing and turning, so I decided to get up and stretch around my room to see if that would help with the dull pain in my lower abdomen. I couldn’t just lie around feeling sorry for myself, even if my body didn’t want to rest.I got up and started doing some mild stretches, but there was so much on my mind. I kept replaying my conversation with Bryan from moments earlier. In a way, he was right. Gerald wouldn’t have been influenced by Ria if he didn’t want to be.But there was no use dwelling on such thoughts. It wasn’t entirely his fault. He just believed what he saw without knowing the whole story, and God knows he can’t be the only one guilty of such mistakes. We are human beings—essentially imperfect. I needed some fresh air.Bryan’s words and Gerald’s actions were making me reel, and I didn’t like it one bit. I needed to take a walk to clear my head.I winced as I carefully pulled out the IV needle and pressed a piece of cotton agai

CHAPTER NINE LARA'S POV. I didn't expect to be happy after the papers were signed. What I also didn't expect was the numbness. The particular emptiness of finally doing something you've been building towards and feeling nothing on the other side of it. I gathered the papers and returned to the room, tucking them carefully in a bag. I could leave now. Forget everything with Gerald and move on. Finally stop fighting to be seen by someone who had decided long ago not to look. Only it didn't work that way. The years weren't going to vanish because I wanted them to. I would think about him constantly, miss him in ways I hadn't prepared for, reach for him in the night out of habit before remembering. Bryan had said to give him a week. I would give him exactly that. By the end of it, Gerald would have seen Ria for what she truly was and remembered what we were. This was just the effect of seeing his first love again after so long. He would come back to me. He would come back to
