Inside the carriage which she used to go to see the doctor was Mrs. Radiance, but now returning home with a huge doubt in her head 'Should I really tell you about this?…'
She wanted to be honest with her family and tell them everything, but at the same time she also knew that when she did it, she would be practically transferring a huge burden to her husband and family, the burden of having to look for a cure, or solution to their problem, and an even greater pain, that they would feel when frustrated, after realizing that all that effort, would have been absolutely in vain.
And because she did not want to pass on all this responsibility, anguish and suffering to her family, she decided to hide and continue looking for a solution on her own. But that only lasted until the hundredth day of the thousandth solar year, because on that day, in front of everyone, she passed out in the middle of celebrating her 27th birthday.
She was smiling as always as she thanked the guests for their congratulations, maintaining their cheerful appearance, to demonstrate that she was extremely happy with the big party that her husband had made for her, a party with several tables, filled with several different foods each, with many people wishing her better years, wishing that she and her family would always be well, and she was really quite happy about it all.
For even feeling the pain inside her increasing with every second that passed, she continued to smile at everyone, as if nothing had happened. But when all the guests had already arrived, and she was getting up to thank all those people for going there, just to congratulate her, but when she got up, her vision started to suddenly become blurred, but even so she he continued and started saying "I thank you so much for the presence of all of you here, and also ..."
In the middle of the sentence, her vision went all dark, and the only thing she remembers, is to have heard her husband and daughter calling her ...
"Alice !!"
"Mommy!"
Alice (or Mrs. Radiance) woke up only on the 120th day of the thousandth solar year, or two days after she passed out at her party. She began to slowly open her eyes, but she could see almost nothing thanks to her blurred vision, but she could clearly hear her husband's voice asking, "I beg you, doctor, you have to find out what's wrong with that. Is it over there. For right now you are literally my only, and best option. "
"As I said to Miss Alice, I have no idea what's going on with her, I don't understand, for me she is completely normal like everyone else."
"What!? So does it mean that she already knew there was something wrong with her body? "
"Yes, Mr. Radiance ... I'm sorry, but didn't you know?"
"... No ... and I don't know why she hid something so important."
"... maybe she did it to protect you ..."
"Protect, but protect from what?"
"Take a good look at the state you are in."
And as she turned to face the doctor's bed she said, "And look at this poor child, do you really think a mother would like to see her daughter in that state?" while she looked at Sophia, a child over 2 years old, who fell asleep crying next to her mother's body.
Mister Radiance looked at his daughter, and it quickly caused his chest to tighten, and when he looked briefly at his wife he realized that she was now awake, and when he saw her eyes open, Mr Radiance shouted "Honey !!"
After shouting that he quickly went over to Alice, passing the doctor's side and kneeling beside the bed where she was. And when she heard that cry, Sophia, who hadn't started sleeping in a long time, still half sleepy, started to open her eyes, and whisper "Mommy, did Mommy wake up? The mom…"
But Alice, with her vision already normalized, placed her hand gently on top of Sophia's head, and with her gentle voice she started saying "Don't worry, my ray of light, Mommy is right here by your side, so you you can keep sleeping, okay? I am not going anywhere and I will always be with you, so fall asleep carefree… "
Upon hearing her mother's gentle voice, Sophia quickly went back to sleep, but before that happened she went up a little further, and when she felt she was close enough, she grabbed Alice's arm and went back to sleep peacefully.
