Please, Love Me Again

Chapter 35: The Kid Died

The atmosphere in the entire mansion returned to its normal peace when everyone returned to the private spaces of each other.

Since it was already late at night, everyone entered their room to rest.

Geneva helped the kid to bed. She sat at the edge of his bed and watched him sleep.

The kid closed his eyes immediately despite not needing to sleep. In fact, he was still alert after that exhausting and chaotic day. He could not bear to sleep because he feared that when he woke up in the morning, the woman was gone.

"Darling, do you want to hear a story?" Geneva suddenly asked.

The kid slowly opened his eyes and found that the woman was smiling at him.

"I know you're not asleep. So, you want to hear a story?" A warm smile formed on the woman's lips, making her look like a goddess descended from Heaven.

The kid blinked his crystal eyes and nodded.

"Alright!" The woman positioned herself well on the bed and smiled. "Once upon a time, there's a woman who madly fell in love with a rich man. The man is cold, bossy, and domineering to everyone but is gentle, thoughtful, and warm to the woman.

"The man and the woman are a match made in heaven and everyone envies them. Their love is so sweet, so perfect, and happy until one day, the man left the woman mercilessly.

"The woman is devastated. Her heart is completely broken. In pain, she even thought to commit suicide to end her suffering. But because of the support of her bestfriend and the unexpected existence of her baby, the woman continued to leave. She managed to live, she chose to live in hope to see him and raise him with love.

"Her baby became her new hope. Because of him, she had a reason to live. That's why she was careful with her pregnancy, especially as she discovered that her pregnancy is rare and dangerous.

"Unfortunately, one day, fate played a joke on her. She was sent to the hospital for premature labor."

Geneva stopped, wiping the tears that formed in her eyes. She could control her tears but she could not control the sound of her sniffing and so the kid stared at her, and then held her hand, silently comforting her although he couldn't relate his feelings to

"Thanks Darling." The woman was forced to smile.

She then continued…

"The woman successfully gave birth to a handsome baby boy. The labor is so painful but it was forgotten because of the happiness of being a mother. However, an accident happened.

"The kid died."

Geneva was forced to continue the story but her emotions overwhelmed her and she could no longer find her voice to speak. Her tears fell like streams.

The kid sat up on the bed and hugged her, rubbing his hands on her back.

The woman sobbed for a bit longer and only stopped as she calmed down. After that moment, she broke free from his hug and spoke, smiling, "I'm sorry Darling. I lost control of my emotions. Thanks for comforting me. Alright. Go to sleep."

The kid stared at her closely, refusing to move.

The woman smiled. "I'm okay now Darling. I am just carried away by the story. But I am fine now. Go to sleep. Don't worry. I will stay here until you fall asleep."

Eventually, after her persuasion, the kid laid down.

Geneva leaned against the headrest and stared on the wall, not to herself.

The kid noticed the discomfort of the woman. But he chose to be quiet as he didn't know how to comfort her. What he only did was to hold her hand just to make her feel she was not alone, and then closed his eyes.

They stayed in such a position for so long. The kid didn't want to sleep but his eyelids were getting heavier. He was forced to keep his eyes open but was defeated eventually. He did not realise he fell asleep.

When Geneva noticed that the kid was asleep, she slowly pulled her hand and got up. She only took a single step when the kid grabbed her pajama despite being sound asleep.

Geneva froze. She looked over and when she realised that he was still sleeping, she heaved a sigh of relief and then pulled her pajamas off him. Then she left the room quietly.

Geneva went downstairs and then made her way directly in the kitchen. In order not to attract the attention of anyone, she did not bother herself to turn on the light in the kitchen, thus she made her way there through groping.

She eventually arrived in the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She grabbed a mineral bottle of water and opened it as she made her way back in the lobby. Just right as she stepped out of the kitchen's door, she accidentally bumped into a strong and lean body.

ARRGGH!!!
