O^)❤CECILIA'S POV❤
Being unable to bear a child is so..., I don't just know, it annoys and at the same time it is so much of a burden on me.
I can't even think of a solution other than just letting Hugo have his way on this.
I was so lost in thought and didn't notice when Hugo got out of the bathroom and was calling my name until he tapped me.
"Are you listening? ", 'he blurted out and my head tried to calculate what I was going to say'
" No, I was listening to some music to calm me down "
"Earphone?, headset? ", 'he queried in confusion'
" Nooo, it's an ear pod"
"What were you thinking about?, you don't have to lie... I know there is a lot to think about, so just share it with me", 'he tried to comfort me'
I can't believe that even after all this years of being together, he still has this great effect on me, he is exceptionally handsome even at 49,every single stare makes my heart race a million times, his hands landed on my shoulder and I shivered trying to control my heart beat which was obviously impossible...
"What were you saying? I didn't hear any of it, will you go over again? "
"Sure, I.... ", 'he noticed the awkwardness in the room and removed his hand from my shoulder , taking a seat next to me'
" I don't want to tell you what I was thinking about, it will only cause some unwanted confusion, commotion and argument, so just .... I promise not to let anything take over my mind like that anymore ", I spoke with a sheepish smile.
" Okay, am just worried... How will you cope without me around for two years? ", 'he blurted out with a worried look'
I really don't like that look, he is such a great man with a smiley face, and he hasn't given me that look in a long time, is he really worried about me?, I couldn't do anything but beat myself in the head, why did I have to make him worry?
" I will cope of course even though it will be hard, and I trust that you won't leave me alone for that long, besides you are becoming a father soon ", I spoke even though it was hard to be sincere about that, I noticed his stare which was was trying to figure out the sincerity in that statement.
" And that is why am leaving, for two years ", 'he said and hearing that made my heart sank'.
How could he think of doing that? , leaving me and traveling with his new wife... Tears rolled down my cheeks and I turned away to wipe them.
" I just thought it would be awkward having me in the house with my wife whom I love very much and the mother of my child, so I trust that you will take care of her ", 'he tried to convince me'
This was even worse than what I initially thought it was, is he making me a caretaker now or what.
" So when are you leaving? ".
" Next week, she is moving in in two weeks time, I need to leave before that, I feel sincerely guilty and sorry towards you, I couldn't think of anything else.. I ll work from there", "he persuaded"
If he keep speaking in that tone with that look, how am I supposed to say no, this is driving me crazy. . .
"Okay, I ll keep up with whatever she does, but you must contact me regularly, if not... ", I couldn't finish my word and broke down in tears.
I started crying uncontrollably like a deprived kid, he drew me into his arms and tried to console me.
" You don't have to cry, nobody is dying, am going to come back to you... ", 'he said and patted my back'
" Am not crying", I consoled myself and wiped my face with my hand. "This is...i ll miss you so much"
"Are you scared that am running off with another woman", 'he queried trying to tease me'
" No, I know you won't do that"
"Do you like me that much to trust me so blindly? ", 'he teased'
" Yes ", I bluntly said amidst tears, nodding my head.
He strengthened his grip on me laying his back on the bed, while I fell into his arms with his hands patting my head, how adorable...

(^O^)❤NARRATOR'S POV❤
An emergency patient was been rushed into glass ville central hospital, the patient is barely still living, the press also rushed into the hospital along side the patient , doctors and nurses who took different roles of wheeling the patient, pressing on the bleeding parts and pumping out water from the lungs.
Members of the Hart family rushed into the hospital , was it a family member of theirs?
"Where is Thalia? ", 'lady Beth called out to one of the bodyguards that followed'
" I don't think she is the one, ma'am, it was a man who was wheeled in just now ", 'Rufus replied'
" It was clearly her plate number that was on the news few minutes ago and it was definitely this hospital ", 'Diego said in dejection'
Everyone was so confused as to who it was in the car and as they moved into the hospital, they were covered by the press who began asking various questions.
" Who is the victim of the accident? , was it an accident or attempted murder?, where is miss Hart?, do you have anything to say to this?...", 'different people called out'
In the middle of the commotion, Thalia drove into the hospital and ran inside not minding the press... She was scared to death that something unwanted must have happened.
Diego spotted her running ahead of where they are and forced himself out of the crowd.
(^O^)❤THALIA'S POV❤
I wasn't in my right mind, Chris left in that car yesterday and he didn't come back and this morning my car was been found in the river, all I wanted to hear right now is that Chris is okay, I kept running as well as my legs could carry me until someone touched me from behind and I turned to see Diego panting which showed that he ran to meet up with me.
"Where do you think you are running to?, shouldn't you try to listen to the press and answer their questions, your car was found not ours? ", 'Diego thundered'.
If only he knew what was running through my head at the moment, he wouldn't be giving me this.
" Press!, what should I tell the press?, my personal bodyguard left in my car yesterday and now he was found in the river?, I don't even know exactly what and who it is... And even if it is anybody, shouldn't I care more about the life of the victim than these press who are here to make money from someone who might not survive?, what am I saying? Of course , nothing will happen to anyone... I don't have the time right now, if you think the press is more important than a life then go ahead and give them whatever statement you have got", I blurted out and discovered that my voice was too loud.
I tried to walk away and maintain a stable position but the thought of Chris being the victim of that accident made me weak with each step I took, tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Miss Hart", 'a doctor called out'.
I was trying to figure out where the voice was from but doctor martin showed up in front of me.
" Good day ma'am, the operation was successful, we managed to stop the bleeding and the bloating of the lungs, he suffered a severe concussion from the fall and unfortunately he is in a state of coma", 'doctor martin confidently said'.
I sank into the ground, my legs couldn't hold me anymore, the fact that he came to tell me personally proved that Chris was the victim. I woke up to find myself on an hospital bed, I passed out.
