Chapter 134 Chapter 106 (2)
"Come back, dear." That was his mother's voice. Altezza was sure of it. "I'm sorry. I couldn't be a good mother to you. Come back."
"I'm sorry. Come back, son. Come back to all of us. For Adaline and your children. We're all waiting for you." That was his father's voice.
"Why don't you wake up too? Are you really intending to leave Adaline and leave her to me? If you truly intend to do so, don't be angry with me. Don't haunt me if someday she becomes my wife and her children become mine." Gian's voice made Altezza smile.
"How long will you sleep, Brother? Don't you miss your wife? She said your child has started kicking harder than before. Don't you want to try to touch him? Don't you feel sorry for her?" Altezza heard Antony's voice.
"I'm sorry. It's all because of me. If only I hadn't started all this. That woman wouldn't have gone crazy. Wake up, Darling. Don't you feel sorry for your wife and children? Don't you feel sorry for your parents?
"Wake up and help me punish that woman. I'm waiting for you." That was Aunt Brianna's voice.
But where was the voice I longed for? Where was my wife's voice? Where is my Adaline? Does that woman not miss me? Does that woman no longer want me?
Altezza looked at the man beside him. The man still smiled at him.
"Among all people, there's no one who's eagerly waiting for you to wake up other than her.
"She's not good with words. But she's the most sensitive person.
"Later, when you return to her embrace, I hope you won't waste it anymore.
"Please take care of her for me. Give her the love I couldn't give when I was still here.
"Take care of her, don't hurt her anymore. She's the gem in my heart. My only daughter. A daughter I never imagined I could have."
"Sir...." The man smiled back at him before disappearing.
"Al..." A voice called out his name.
Altezza scanned his surroundings. Looking for the figure he longed for. But there was no one there except himself and the silence.
"Altezza... I'm sorry." Altezza raised his right hand. Suddenly, the hand felt warm. "Forgive all my mistakes.
"You can be angry. You can scold me. But please, wake up.
"I'm scared.
"I'm scared of giving birth alone.
"Will you really not allow me to touch them?
"Haven't I told you that I will only touch them with your permission? And they will be born soon. Are you really that angry at me?
"Wake up, Al. I haven't even had the chance to tell you how much I love you. And I don't even know how you feel about me.
"If what Mom said is true, if you really love me, I beg you, wake up, accompany me. Don't let me give birth to our baby alone..."
The voice slowly faded away, making Altezza feel tortured.
His heart was in so much pain, he felt so hurt. Yet, he was the one who had hurt the hearts of those who loved him. He was the one who had wasted the love that everyone had given him.
Adaline...
Altezza also wanted to return. He also wanted to see the woman he loved again. He hadn't apologized. He hadn't expressed his love.
Didn't he promise to kneel as long as the woman returned to him? But why now, once again, he ended up hurting the woman instead.
Why did he make the woman cry?
Altezza fell to his knees. Crying as hard as he could. He was alone in a vast place that he didn't even know where it was.
God. I know that I have wasted so much goodness. So many opportunities. Can I ask for one more chance to fix everything? Can you bring me back? Can I bargain? Can I ask? Can you allow me to return to the embrace of the woman I love?
And somehow, Altezza felt someone pulling his heart so intensely.
