Chapter 99

They say walking away from the person you love is the hardest decision to make. You don't know how to stop your feet. You can't hold the steering wheel because it's like a car driving away.

I looked away while boarding the plane. How many times had I told myself that maybe I was just in a hurry and I didn't want to leave, but no matter what I held on to my feet like they had their brains and knew what to do? Thinking about Turstin, I kept asking myself when it all started? When did my heart start beating for him? I wanted to laugh but I was holding it back.

When was the farewell sweet? Wasn’t it supposed to be a bitter goodbye?

I dropped my head out the window. Now I thought that Turstin and I had nothing else in common because of our daily quarrels every time Winter was with us. Conceivably, that was where it all started.

I touched my stomach. I didn’t know if I would be able to carry the child without a partner. Once we had sex, I didn't think anything would happen right away. I was very excited but I did not inform Turstin because of the messages I had seen that were sent for him. I didn't want to squeeze myself into him anymore. Perhaps what I did was right and I needed to stop. Although I was reluctant to leave Winter in that condition, I had no choice but to leave.

I wondered what life awaited me as I got off this plane. What life would I face because even my parents didn’t know where I was going and why I was leaving.

"W-what?" Just getting on the plane made me want to fly back! It hurt my head to try to figure out what was going on. The amount I planned while on the plane, as well as what would happen, would be returned to me as soon as I stepped off. But I didn't have a case to cover the cost of the ticket! However...

“Yes. She has lost her son and I think she needs you more now. ” It was Alex and the voice was full of concern. I tightened my grip on my stomach. Sweaty gooey. What if the same thing happened to me? I couldn't handle it and the thought of it.

“Okay, I'll be back tomorrow. I'll just rest.” After I said that I turned off the call. I rubbed my forehead because I was suddenly stressed but I also immediately shook it out of my mind because I was afraid of what could happen to me.

But when I came back, I didn’t expect to see who had met me, I was just about to enter the hospital. His angry eyes did not leave me because he wanted to fill me with questions but one of his questions was more dominant in my ears and it seemed to echo.

"Why did you leave suddenly?"
