“Keep it to yourself, Xander’ That was what he was going to do, but the thought of being betrayed by his Mom really hurt deeply. Seeing her face reminded him of the pain, but sadly, he couldn’t bring himself to hate her.

Here he was again, sitting in front of the poor woman with th

“Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Are you ok? You don’t look fine…” She paused, staring at him worriedly.

“Have you not been sleeping well? Is it about me? You don’t have to worry about me, darling. The doctor said that I’ll be fine,” She held his hand and smiled weakly.

“Why did you do it. Mom?”He desperately wanted to ask her that question as he stared at her, but was scared she would get hurt. He was scared of her sickness getting worse, he was scared of losing her. Even though she did hurt him like that, she was still his Mom, and that fact can’t be changed. He still had to make sure that she’s fine.

“I’m fine. Mom…” He forced a smile as he held her hand and squeezed it gently.

“I guess it’s stress from work. How are you feeling, hmm?”

“I’m getting better,” She smiled at him warmly, and he slowly nodded.

“It’s Sunday today. Will you spend time with me?” Her pair of brown eyes pierced into his anxiously. The look on her face was evidence that she really wanted to spend time with him, but sadly, Xander couldn’t say the same for himself.

“Uhm… I have something to take care of disappointedly.

“Alright, son. I understand,”

“See you,” He stood up, kissed her hair before leaving.

Xander breathed out and rubbed his forehead as soon as he stepped out of the ward.

This is frustrating.” He scoffed. Turning to leave, he paused when he saw his Dad standing along the walkway.

“Let’s talk,” His Dad stated simply and led the way while Xander trailed behind him. Minutes later, they arrived at the hospital rooftop, and Xander paused as he watched his Dad walk over to the rail and leaned over it.

“Come here,” The man looked at Xander briefly and turned his face away.

“The view from here is beautiful, right?” Xander glanced at him and slowly nodded, but sadly, nothing appeared beautiful to him at the moment. Everything sucks to him but he couldn’t discuss it with anyone.

“Why don’t you get it off your chest? You should ask her why she did that if you can’t get over it,” Xander glanced at him then sighed and turned his face

away.

“I’m scared, Dad… What if something happens to

“She’s strong enough to take it. You can’t keep hurting yourself, Xander. You need to let it out if that’s the only way you are going to be fine,” He patted Xander’s back, and he slowly nodded.

“Look at you… You’ve lost weight and you don’t look fine,”

“It’s been years, and I know it’s going to be difficult to replace her. I know things might not go like before, but I think you should look for her and apologize for what happened. That way, your mind can be at rest,” Mr. Hughes suggested as he tucked his hands inside his pockets,

“She was

pregnant before she left, yeah?”

“Hmm,” Xander nodded.

“You should look for her as soon as possible…” Mr. Hughes paused, then patted Xander’s shoulder and smiled.

Xander forced a smile as he nodded. He didn’t want to tell his Dad that he found her already. He needed to make things right all by himself since he messed up. Only then will he involve his family into this.

I know I haven’t been a good Dad to you, but I’m ready to make up for everything this time. I will support everything you do this time. I will support your decision, I promise,”

“Thank you, Dad,” Xander hugged him briefly.

*Dad… Can I ask of a favor from you?”

“Hmm… Ask anything”

“Can you please not talk about this with Mom? I don’t want to ask her

er just yet. Please, Xander pleaded.

“If that is what you want, then I promise to do that. All I want is for you to be fine,”

“Thank you, Dad. I will be fine,”

“Hey, sis. Wanna grab lunch together later?” He read through the message again and rolled his eyes before he clicked on ‘send.

“What do you want from me? This is a trick to ask of a favor, yeah?’ Her reply came in faster than he had expected it

“Tch! That annoying thing. Hmph!” He huffed silently.

“Wow! Looks like a good deal. You would need to pay for appointment first. I’m a barrister, so you don’t expect to see me just like that because we are siblings. We should keep this professional. You need to pay for my time” He scoffed unbelievably when he read her reply.

“Is she being serious right now?” He blinked his eyes rapidly, and sighed.

“Fine! I’ll give you a hundred dollars for appointment

“What do you think of me? That I’m some cheap and hungry barrister? A thousand dollars or nothing, but I’ll give you a fifty percent discount since you are my brother. Wire five hundred dollars to my account, and you’ll see me later Xander knew better than anyone that this wasn’t a joke coming from his sister, so he just sent the money right away, and immediately, her message came in..
