FREDA WHITLOCK

‘Safiya knew for the past three years and she never told me‘. I stilled in shock at Kaiden’s revelation.

‘How could Safiya do such a thing?‘ They were both involved in Harper’s life. If she had informed Kaiden earlier, Harper’s condition probably wouldn’t have worsened to this stage.

I looked at Kaiden and I saw how hard he was trying to hold himself together. My body moved on its own accord and I found myself giving him a warm hug before I could even think twice about it.

He stiffened in shock for a minute before relaxing fully into the hug. We stood together in silence as we let our heartbeats do the talking.

I used my other free hand that wasn’t holding my standing drip to pat his back comfortingly because I knew he was in a lot of pain.

“It’s going to be okay,” I said softly against his chest.” She’ll be fine. We will all get out of this. Harper is a brave girl. A fighter“. I assured and his hold on me tightened

Thanks Freda I don’t know what I would have done on my own. It’s terrifying at times. I–I can’t lose you both“. He said in a shaky voice.

“You won’t“. I assured. I couldn’t promise for myself but I was

sure that Paper was going to make it out of this. She just had

She was a smart adorable chic and seeing her wing frail and repless with tubes plugged to her body broke my heart.

Sre don’t deserve it and coulant celieve Seriva ceciced to

keep it away from the child’s father when he could have beer there for mis cnid I could imagine how tom Kacen must be feeing at the moment.

We stayed together just enjoying each other’s presence. It was notting sersial just comforting

Just like he had core for me the night before when I was almost falling apart. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? You know how much I adore Harper, I asked, still leaning my heed on his

Crest

Freda, you’ve had a lot going on and right now you still do. How could I tell someone that was fighting for her life that my daughter is terminally ill?” He asked in a conficted tone.

He was right. “Can’t we go inside and see her? I asked as I suddenly began to wonder why we stood outside the ward.

“The doctor hasn’t given permission yet. He says her condition is still very sensitive. He says her chance of surviving this is just 50-50°. My heart ached at the way Kaiden’s voice broke. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

I remembered when Cisco was ill how worried I was about him but only that Harper had a heart disease which was so much

worse

My heart ached for the little girl. First she had to fall off the

stairs and now a heart disease? Oh goddess, how could all this happen to this sweet child.

Harper had to go through the pain of seeing her parents grow further apart. That was the worst trauma any child could face.

I looked through the glass and saw her condon and I couldn’t hold myself together anymore.

Tears trickled down my cheeks silently and I held Kaiden a little tighter. It wasn’t fair. It wasn’t fair how the innocent ones were getting punished. What was the goddess’s plan?.

“Some people are just shameless,” a nurse said, drawing my attention. I was still hugging Kaiden at the time. I was willing to give him the emotional support he needed.

“Tell me about it” another female voice joined in the

conversation. “His Luna is outside crying her eyes out and here he is hugging another woman“..

“How shameful” the other nurse spat as they passed us by. They were clearly talking about Kaiden but I wasn’t sure I heard their last statement properly. Safiya was crying outside?

Surprised, I pulled away from the hug as I looked at Kaiden questionly but he seemed to have read my mind because he held out his hand to stop me from speaking.

“No talk of Safiya. Not anymore. She’s nothing!” He growled and I sighed. I would let it rest for now. We ignored the comments of the nurses and watched Harper.

Even when my knees ached and my head pounded, we stood outside the ward. Even when silent tears trickled down Kaiden’s

cheeks and I was lost on how to comfort him, we still stood outside the ward.

We stood outside the ward for a long time just watching Harper in silence. I held my drip stand for support. I was long due for a nap. My legs were aching but I wasn’t willing to leave Kaiden’s side.

“Let’s go Freda” he finally said as if sensing my thoughts. He looked a bit relieved as he turned to face me and I gave him a small smile because I knew why.

Because Harper wasn’t alone in this. We were going to fight this….. together!.
