Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Husband Who Wakes Up Loving Me (English): Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

She should not have been there. That was what Sophia kept telling herself as she sat in the visitor's chair inside Adrian's hospital room. It was only six o'clock in the morning, so the entire floor was still quiet. Most of the patients were still resting but Sophia was fully awake.Not because she wanted to be there. But because she could not stop worrying whenever she was away from him. It was frustrating.Just a few days ago, she had been ready to end their marriage. Now she felt as if she had fallen back into her old habits. Then again, maybe no one could blame her for constantly making sure Adrian was okay.She let out a quiet sigh before glancing toward the man sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed. He looked so calm.As if no accident had happened. As if no lives had been damaged and as if he had never broken her heart.Sophia quickly looked away and staring at him was a bad idea. Especially when it made her remember the Adrian she used to know. The Adrian she had fallen in l

Sophia had not planned to return to the hospital so early. After spending almost the entire night unable to sleep, she had intended to stop by the house first, change her clothes, and then go back to see Adrian. But all morning, she felt restless.A heavy feeling sat in her chest. As if something was about to happen. That was why, by ten o'clock in the morning, she was already walking down the hospital hallway.The corridor was quiet and only a few people passed by. When she reached Adrian's private room, she suddenly stopped. The door was slightly open. And from inside, she heard the faint sound of something falling.Her forehead creased. Slowly, she pushed the door open and then she froze.Adrian was standing beside the bed. His face was pale and dark circles had formed beneath his eyes. His hand was trembling and in that hand was an old cellphone. The cellphone he had used to communicate with his mistress.Sophia did not need to guess. She immediately knew what he had been reading.

Adrian didn't know where to start. That question had been running through his mind for days as he sat on his hospital bed, one week after waking up from the accident.How was he supposed to fix something he couldn't even remember breaking? How was he supposed to ask for forgiveness for sins he couldn't recall committing? And most of all...How was he supposed to face Sophia? Because with every passing day, he was beginning to understand something.What Sophia felt toward him wasn't just anger. Anger faded. Anger burned hot and eventually died out. What he saw in her eyes was something far worse. It was an exhaustion.The exhaustion of someone who had been hurt for too long. The exhaustion of someone who had loved until there was nothing left to give. And he knew he was the reason.That realization followed him everywhere. It sat heavily in his chest every time he looked at her.Every time she walked into his room. Every time she avoided his eyes. Every time she spoke to him politely,

"This shouldn't be happening."That was the only thought running through Sophia's mind as she sat in front of her laptop late that evening. The screen was filled with unfinished documents. Several emails still needed replies.She even had an important meeting the next day. Yet her mind was completely blank. She hadn't finished a single task because every time she tried to focus on work, only one face appeared in her thoughts.Adrian.She let out another long sigh. She had already lost count of how many times she had sighed that night. All she knew was that she was frustrated with herself.This wasn't supposed to be difficult. This was what she had wanted, wasn't it?To finally be free from Adrian. To walk away from him. To leave behind all the pain he had caused.She had cried for months just to reach that point. She had spent countless nights convincing herself that their marriage could no longer be saved. She had finally accepted that it was over.So why now? Why was she feeling so

Sophia woke up earlier than usual that morning.The sky outside her window was still dark, and the whole house was quiet. There were no footsteps, no voices, and almost no sound at all. She reached for her phone and checked the time.It was only five o'clock in the morning.She let out a quiet sigh. She tried to close her eyes again, hoping to fall back asleep, but sleep refused to come back. After lying in bed for another minute, she finally gave up and got out of bed.Tomorrow was her niece's birthday, and she had promised to bake the birthday cake herself. It had been a long time since she last baked.Before, whenever she felt stressed or sad, baking was always her escape. It was one of the few things that could calm her heart. After everything that had happened over the past few weeks, she felt that she needed that peaceful feeling again.After taking a shower and getting dressed, Sophia quietly walked downstairs. She thought she was the first one awake but the moment she entered
