Yul's POV.
I didn't realize that Kim and Nando came from abroad. Surely, Yancy is with them as well. It's easy to discern their family.
"I thought I would be able to have Hyeri again in my arms," Hanakim murmured. She hugged Yael as her tears approached.
"We have the same kind of hopes," said George. She cries silently. It feels crazy. How can I read her mind?
She rarely speaks now. If she does, something's off with her voice and facial expression.
Trying hard to hide the pain won't do any good. But pushing her to open up her heart to me, as her husband, would feel as though she was at the edge of a building.
How can I let her know that I'm inside the problem too? That I ill understand her pain?
"HEY!" Nando shouted. "You listening?"
He pulled me to reality. "So-sorry. I zoned out. What was it again?"
"Never mind, Yael and Kim already left." Nando went out, and I followed him so Kate and George could talk.
He went to the kitchen to eat. "Who's this kid" asked Dad. He was in the kitchen as well.
"George's brother," I said. "Please, stop being dramatic and act normal. Don't treat him like some kind of joke, Dad. Please."
He sneered. "I'm not. Don't feel so pressured. It looks more obvious that something's bugging you."
"Ahh-oh, no! Dad!" He laughed, trying to tease me. "It's not funny."
"But it is!" Dad can't breathe, laughing.
I shook my head and just attended to Nando. "Do you want me to cook for you?" I asked. Dad bid his goodbye and went out with Mom. She told me they'll come back tomorrow, first thing in the morning.
"No need, Kuya." Ahh, so soothing. "Just promise you're not hurting my sister.
Ouch.. now, that hits. Please, try not to stutter! Don't stutter! Clear your throat. "Uhm... how would I do that to my precious lady?"
He shook his head. "You've done that. Multiple times already. So I want you to please... please stop it and never do anything that would hurt her. Especially right now, that there's some girl trying to follow you like a creepy stalker."
I nodded. He finished doing his food so he went upstairs. But I was left dumbfounded. I don't know what to do.
But I know that I did something.
I KNOW!
Why can't I....
"YAEL! FUCK!"
What's that noise?
"Mom? Dad?" I shouted as I ran outside.
But the beating of my heart is so fast. I can't breathe.
"Please breathe..." said Kim. "Kuya Yul..." she cried. In her arms, my boy is lying, bathed in blood.
"NOOOO!"
Why is this happening...
George's POV.
"What's with the noise?" I asked and started standing up. None is trying to stop me from going out until I almost open the door.
Kate interfered. "Besh, I think you should sleep now while the morgue is still cremating Hyeri." She was stuttering.
"But there's noise?" I asked.
"What noise?"
Why? I'm sure I heard something.
"Are you gaslighting me now, Kate?" I asked. "I'm not crazy. Soon, I will. But not yet. Not now. I know what I heard."
Cygnus butts in. "Hey, George. You're overreacting."
"Oh, am I?" I sneered.
"George, she meant nothing. We just wanted you to rest right now. Here, where you wanted, inside Hyeri's room. And we will stay by your side while you need us," Harry said.
"Really?" Slowly, my tears come running down my cheeks. I can feel the heat of my tears. "So I'm just overreacting? Haha! Yeah, I was drugged and I'm positive of that. I was drugged with a mother's love. I was drugged."
I still need time to fix myself.
Right now, the world feels as though it is running so fast, that I can't focus on the things I should be focusing on.
It's weird that a totally sane woman could go haywire when things like this happen.
Things like this... things that no one ever thought could become someone's weakness.
After hours of crying, I didn't realize that I passed out.
It was a blur at first, but I managed to fix my eyes. It's all white. Where am I? This isn't Hyeri's room.
"He--- what? How come?"
"I'm sorry, sir. But it was intentional."
"Intentional? Who could do that to him? HOW!?"
"It's out of my jeopardy. Please understand."
"Don't blame the Doctor, Yul Matthew." I recognize the voice. It's Harry.
"How? I can't explain this." He shouted.
"None could. But don't look for someone to blame for it. None but the killer should be punished." Harry sighed.
I opened my eyes and looked around.
A doctor? Am I inside the hospital again? But why is Yul blaming the doctor when I'm fine?
"Am I okay?" I murmured. someone shouted beside me and gave me a hug. Kate and her big tummy welcomed me with a hug. "You shouldn't stick beside me. You're stressing yourself."
She shook her head. "No! I'm fulfilling the needs of my life."
"The need to stress yourself?!" I asked, regaining my energy from the heavy headache.
"Whatever. But don't sit, you need to lie down until further notice." What is she talking about?
"I'm not some kind of a bill, Kate." I sat down. As I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw pale Yael.
"W-What is this?" I asked. First of all, I wanted to know how I ended up in this hospital. But when you see your son lying in a hospital bed, finding no reason at all will completely frustrate you.
"Nothing, girl. He was sleeping after getting bitten by a dog." Cygnus tried to defend.
But this is something you couldn't defend at all.
My husband is crying while hugging Yael.
"Is everything fine?" I asked.
Yul turned his face to me, full of blood. Even his clean hands which he loved to wash all day, are now dirt with blood. But... which blood?
My dry cheeks started to get wet from the tears.
"It'll be difficult to understand right now. But... he died."
Cara's POV.
"HAHAHA! I can't believe you'll be useful, Mr. H." I cheered.
He smirked as we both watched this wrecked family on their knees. "That's how love cost. Your life, your heart, your sanity."
I nodded. He was right I almost lost my sanity until Belle gave me advice. I won't forget her bonuses this coming Christmas.
"It's satisfying to watch her weep. Watching her heart getting stained with hatred and questions of things no one would bother to answer." I took a sip. "It's payback time. That's what she's proud of, right? Their children? Now that everyone is gone, what is there to be proud of? Those papers of marriage? Piece of trash."
Mr. H laughed. I know he's classified as a human being. But he looks like a demon to me.
"We're just starting," said Mr. H. "But what do you think about revealing everything now?"
