Chapter 51 — The Truth Again
Robert POV:
One Month Later…
“Yes!” I chuckled and she laughed too.
“Oh my. I never thought about that. It would have been so good!”
“Yes. We can go there if you want!” I smiled at her. Her eyes shone in excitement, and she got up.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
“Okay, okay!” I got up too.
We were just going through some online articles about how to have fun. She came across one of the parks which had some pretty cool games and roller coaster ride, and she was immediately drawn towards it.
When I told her that we had one in LA too, she was overwhelmed. Now, we are going there.
“I am so excited!” She repeated as we went out of the ward. I smiled at her.
“I am too.”
We went out of the hospital, and she sat in my car as we drove off.
The last month was really good. We haven’t been much close, but she trusted me enough to let me stay with her. Slowly, she opened up to me much more and now, we are like best friends.
Even though I have been dying to kiss her, I controlled myself somehow.
At this time, she needs a good friend more than a romantic partner. It is much better than when she hated me, so I should be content with what I have.
When we reached the park, her eyes widened in happiness and surprise.
“This is so cool!”
“Yes, it is, right? Come on, let’s go!” I smiled at her and got out of the car. She came out and I took her hand in mine.
She has become a lot happier in the past month. She has started taking things more positively and have been smiling more than ever. Doctors say that after a trauma, mind blocks certain memory that could hurt the heart and the brain. maybe her brain had blocked the memories of her that year with me.
It makes me so sad. If I hadn’t done all that to her, she would have been like this. So much happier and brighter. But that brutality made her sad forever.
Maybe she will be happy forever now. all bad things do some good at the end, don’t they?
I went with her inside the park. The place was beautiful, and the games seemed interesting.
“C’mon, let’s have fun!” She laughed and dragged me with her on one of the rides. I chuckled and did as she said.
Time for a little fun.

Summer POV:
“The reports have come,” the nurse informed me and asked me to receive them from the reception. I took the DNA test, and after all this while, I was going to find out the truth.
The past month was no less than a torture. I don’t have anyone. I know that Robert and Hailey can’t be here because of their health issues, but Alex…
He really didn’t care about me?
I know that it is a really wild thought that he would care about me after I said that maybe it wasn’t his child after all. But still, I thought that maybe he would be confident that it is his only?
Maybe he would believe in me more than I believe myself?
I sighed. There was nothing I could do.
I have a woman who takes care of me all the time. Although I had made a good connection with her, I still felt lonely.
I exhaled and walked towards the reception. I looked at the documents on the table and the asked, “Can I get Ms. Summer’s reports?”
She looked at me and smiled. “Yes.”
I smiled back a little. My forehead was filled with sweat. My head trembled when I extended it towards her to grab the papers. I closed my eyes and prayed for the best.
Even if we have divorced now, which was certainly my mistake, I want to make things right. what if this child is really Alex’s?
I don’t know. After Robert told me about Alex’s PTSD, I knew what was best for our child, and I did it. I made him go far away so that he won’t affect our child. but it was so selfish. It was the most selfish thing I could have done.
But that was not the only reason why I took this step. I really am confused who this child belongs to. I have no idea what happened that night.
After one more deep breath, I opened the reports.
What I saw make my eyes filled with tears. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, and I couldn’t express my happiness enough. It wasn’t a dream, it was true. The DNA matched with Alex’s.
The child was his!!
