“We are here, ma’am, Miguel’s voice pulled me out of my train of thoughts as the car came to a stop, and I realized we were already in the parking lot of the hospital when I looked out through the window.

“Hmm,” I removed my seatbelt and was going to step out of the car when Miguel spoke up.

“Should I come with you, ma’am?

“I won’t stay long there. Wait for me in the car,” And with that, I pushed the car door open and stepped out of it.

“Mrs Hughes senior is in the VIP room. It’s on the third floor Following the information Miguel had given me, I made my way straight to the elevator which took me to the third floor where I stepped out and headed toward the room where she was said to be.

My heart wrenched painfully in my chest and my eyes brimmed with tears as I stood in front of the door minutes later, Recalling everything that had transpired between myself and this woman years ago, I didn’t know if I wanted to see her face. Of course, if I was told years ago that I would ever be in a position to save her life, I would’ve denied it, but now, I was sure of it. Not that I have made my decision yet, anyway.

I pushed the door open gently and walked inside, Just as I had expected, she was lying on the bed, half-dead with an oxygen tank over her face and on a life supporting machine.

“Nobody is going to save you now, Summer. Leave my son’s life’ Those words were still fresh in my head even after so many years. How she didn’t allow me to explain myself that night, how she didn’t even allow me to pass the night in her warm house. Even though she hated me, she could’ve done that for the sake of humanity, yeah?

Slowly, I counted my steps toward the bed where she was lying, and I soon halted beside it.

“It’s been ages, mother-in-law. I didn’t expect I was going to see you in this condition…” My voice trailed off and a drop of tears slid down the corner of my cheek. I had no idea why the f F uck I was shedding tears though, it was just coming naturally.

“It’s me, Summer… Your useless ex-daughter-in-law… You can’t even open your eyes and see the face of the person you bullied so much then…” I pulled out a chair and sat beside the bed.

“Just like my life lies in your hands that night, yours depends on me now also…” Slowly, I reached for her hand and held it

“Why don’t you give me a reason

son to save y

you? Just one reason why I should do this surgery and save you is all I need,” I sought myself for a single reason why I should, but there was no single memory of us together that could’ve made me want to consider her.

“You don’t really deserve to live…” I didn’t want

want to be so mean, but those words were a product of my raw emotion. The pain I felt inside me. The pain I felt thinking about the past.

“All I wanted was a mother… I just wanted you to be a mother to me. I did everything I could to please you, but I guess our relationship was bound to be rough,” My voice came out weakly and low.

“Please save my Mom! Tears streamed down my cheeks as the image of Xander popped up in my head. I didn’t want to think about him or how he was feeling, but I couldn’t help it. I guess it’s hard to get rid of one’s feeling so easily like that.

“Why am I thinking about him? This is crazy,”

The sound of my ringing phone pulled my attention, and I checked to see that it was Miguel calling.

“Ma’am, Mr. Xander just took the elevator. I think he’s heading to see his Mom,” I rose up to my feet as soon as I heard his voice from the other end.

“I’ll be out right away, I grabbed my handbag from beside the chair and left the room as soon as the call dropped, but I stopped on my track when I saw. Xander step out of the elevator.

“F uck!” I cursed under my breath and walked away from the roam,

“Sumner?” Xander stopped along the hallway, his face was a bit pale but surprise was written on it.

For the next few seconds, he stood there staring at me wordlessly and motionless. The look on his face had me

“Are you ok?” I tried to hold back my question, and I was glad I managed to

“What are you doing here?” His voice came out weakly, his eyes piorcing into mine.

“I came to see a patient,” I replied to him bluntly, and he slowly nodded.

“Excuse me,” I walked past him, heading to the elevator, but his voice brought me to an abrupt halt.

“Summer..”

“Is there a problem?” I turned to him.

ne so worried about him.

“Never mind. Excuse me.” I watched him walk away weakly until he disappeared into the room where his Mom was.

“What’s wrong with him?” My voice came out in a mumble. I couldn’t deny that I was a bit worried about him though I knew I shouldn’t do this.

“What do you care?” I scoffed as I pushed my thoughts away and headed inside the elevator.

“He didn’t look fine. Is he sick?” I couldn’t help but think about him as I pressed the button.

“Why did he look so pale? Should I go back and see him? What if he collapse inside the room?” Those were the thoughts lingering on my mind as the elevator finally stopped at the first floor.

“Don’t think about him,” I shrugged off the thought as I stepped out of the elevator, but paused abruptly and sighed.

“Did he receive a shocking news about his Mom? Is she going to die? Will it be my fault if she dies?” Those shouldn’t be my concern for f u ck’s sake, but ! guess I’m just a f ucking fool for love.

My phone beeped and a text popped on the screen.

“Let’s make up

for yesterday. I’ll pick you up for the dinner date by 8pm on the dot. Be ready’ That was a text from Hunter. I’m not in for this, please…
