Tears Of A Wife novel Chapter 36

We ended at a fine restaurant in Ortigas. The ambiance was cozy at homey so it made me feel a little better. Kraius wasn't joking when he said he will close a resto for me. I chuckled when I saw that there's no one inside except us and the staff of the restaurant. I scolded him because of that but he just laughed at me.

"See? You're smiling! I'm so handsome!" he exaggerated.

We were both sitting as we ate our food. He ordered a heavy meal for him while I ordered sweet and spicy chicken and yang chow fried rice. I had orange juice while he had champagne.

The little angel inside me was starving me, so I gained weight, contrary to what I was a week ago. I don't often vomit, too.

Everything is changing and I am coping. My life will not stop because of the bad things that happened. Though, it is hard for me now but I know someday I can finally accept it. Finally be healed and finally be able to smile again. Genuine and pure. Someday...

But there's just things that I had to go through before I could stand up from the pain. Before I can heal my wounded heart. Things that will create new memories. A new chapter and a new start. Either good or bad.

Tomorrow came, and I started to work again. Like usual, the clinic was still pleasing to the eyes. I felt the freedom I've been deprived of having for so long.

It was a fine day for me. I've been scanning and reading files for my patients the whole day. My nape was hurting but I can manage. I also accepted patients and made schedules for them. The last one was a walk-in patient that seemed problematic. Her name was Leighton and I can feel her agony and pain by her words as she told me her story. I couldn't help but to shed tears, maybe because of pregnancy hormones.

I sighed and stopped what I'm doing. I removed my glasses and stretched my body. I massaged my temple and looked up at the ceiling. I felt tired from working the whole afternoon, but I feel happy.

I smiled when my phone rang. I quickly fixed myself and picked up the phone from my table. My smile widened when I read my Dad's name on the screen. I immediately answered it.

"Hi, Dad!" I greeted him.

"Princess, are you okay?" he asked.

My forehead creased at his question. "Yes! Why? Is there a problem?"

"No. I mean, stay where you are. I'll let the bodyguards pick you up."

May Dad sounded worried that my forehead creased. Regardless of that, I still conformed to him. I glanced at the digital clock on my table and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. I didn't notice the time because I was too busy working.

"There's no need, Dad. I'll go home now." I stood up and picked up my things. I smiled when I felt the weight of my stomach although it's not that big yet. I could feel the life inside of me.

"Bye! Miss you," I bid my goodbye.
