The next morning, Kira has to go to the nurse's station to ask something, but she did not expect to see someone familiar, outside Helena's room.
"Ohmo!" She blurted out when she saw a man standing outside the door!
"Who was that man?" The man asked in a calm voice.
Kira looked at the man in front of her, "What?" She asked with knitted brows.
"That man who brought you food and accompany until this morning, who is he?" This time, the man's voice sounds like he is interrogating a criminal!
Kira raised her brows, " Why would I tell you?" she asked back.
"Because I want you to tell me." The man replied.
"Ha! Mr. Tan, I don't owe you an explanation." Kira said sternly.
Tim sigh!
" I don't want any other men around you." He said.
"Tsss..." Kira twitched her mouth.
"We have nothing to do with each other, so, don't interfere with my personal life!"
" I am your future husband and I don't like seeing you being intimate with another man." Tim's voice is calm again.
Kira put her hand on her waist.
"Mr. Tan, have you forgot?"
"I did not accept your proposal, remember?!" She said with her raised brows.
Tim raised the corners of his lips, " Honey, sooner or later, you will accept my proposal." He said as if he is so sure about it.
Kira just rolled her eyes on Tim and walks away from him.
She doesn't want to argue with this crazy man!
--------
The next month...
Kira is in the restroom.
She suppressed her cries to avoid Helena from hearing her!
She just came home from the hospital and she talked to her auntie's doctor.
"We need to transfer her to the most high-tech hospital." The conversation of her and the doctor flashed into Kira's mind.
"Why?" She asked.
"The cancer cells have spread to her lungs." The doctor said.
"W-What?!" Kira blurted out.
"But I thought, the chemotherapy would prevent the cancer cells from spreading to her body?!" She asked the doctor.
"I'm sorry, but her immune system is too weak." The doctor replied.
Kira's shoulders shook.
She doesn't know what to think anymore!
"Kira!" Kira heard a knock on the door which made her snapped back to her senses.
"Kira, this is Lea, are you alright?" Lea asked worriedly!
Kira wiped her tears and get up from being seated in the toilet.
She washed her face and dried it before she opened the door.
"Kira..." Lea blurted out when she saw her friend's swollen eyes.
Kira embraced her friend as if asking for comfort.
"Kira..." Lea stroked her friend's back.
"Why?" She asked.
-----
Kira and Lea are sitting on the sofa, Kira has already calmed down.
"Are you sure about this?" Lea asked.
"I don't know, all I want right now is auntie's health," Kira replied.
"He said that he can transfer auntie to the best hospital." Kira tilted her head to Lea.
"Auntie has sacrificed so much for me. She doesn't even get married because of me."
Yes! Her auntie refused to marry her boyfriend because her boyfriend won't agree about adopting her!
"But Kira, we're talking about marriage." Lea reminded her.
"I know..." Kira replied.
"But if this is how I can save auntie, I will do it!" Kira has made up a decision!
Lea stared at her for a while before she sighs and spoke,
"Alright! Whatever decision you make, I am here to support you," Lea said.
"Thank you so much, Lea."
Lea just nodded her head as she embraced Kira.
------
Kira stared at the calling card in her hand.
She's still thinking whether to call the number or not!
What if his offer is over now?
What if he already found another bride to be?
Kira took a deep breath.
She still has to try!
She's in so much need of money for her auntie's medications!
Kira turned on her phone and dialed the number on the calling card.
She tapped her phone a few times before she put it to her ear.
She waited for the other line to ring.
Kira's anxiousness arose when the other line started ringing.
It took a moment before the other line answered.
-----
Tim is currently in a meeting with the higher-ups when his phone rings.
He picks up his phone and read the caller's ID.
Tim raised the corners of his lips.
"Excuse me, I'll just pick up this call," Tim said before he walks out of the conference room and head to his office.
Tim cleared his throat before he answers the call.
"Yes," Tim answered.
The person from the other line did not speak.
"Do you have anything to say?" Tim asked but the caller still not answering.
"Oh, I guess, I'll just..." Tim was not able to finish his word when the caller finally answers.
"This is Kira Li." The person from the other line spoke.
"Oh!" Tim blurted out and acted like he is not interested!
"Is there anything I could help?" He asked.
"Y-You..." Kira struggled to speak it out.
"What?!" Tim pretended to lost her temper.
"Y-Your offer..."
"What offer?" Tim asked as if he doesn't know.
"Please, help my auntie, transfer her to the best hospital!" Kira gathers all her prowess to say those words to Tim!
Tim can't help but smile as he heard Kira, but he still acted like he doesn't care!
"And what can I get as a return?" He asked.
"I...I will marry you." Kira replied!
"You finally made up your mind!" Tim said.
"Yes! "
"Alright!"
"But, I think it is better if we talk about this in private," Tim suggested.
"Let's meet tonight." He added.
"A-Alright..." Kira replied.
"Where----"
"Tot tot tot!"
Before Kira could ask for the meeting place, Tim has already ended the call!
Kira knitted her brows as she looks at her phone, "Why did he end up the call?" Kira mumbled.
She tried to redial the number but she can't reach it anymore!
Kira putS down the phone and leaned her back on the sofa.
'Kira, you did the right decision!' Kira tried to convince her self.
But then the image of Alex suddenly popped out into her mind!
'Aiyoo!'
'That man won't love you more than just a friend!' Kira reminded her self!
It's time to forget the feeling she has for Alex!
--------
At night, Kira is all dressed up!
She's pacing back and forth as she waited for Timothy to call her and tell her the meeting address.
"Hey, Kira! Could you please stop pacing back and forth?"
"You're making me dizzy!" Lea complained.
Kira sits down beside her friend.
"Lea, please don't tell auntie about this, huh?!" Kira pleaded.
"But, what if she asks me?"
"What would I ask?"
Kira and Lea froze when Helena suddenly spoke from behind them!
