“WHY are you running away from your dad, Ford?”
“Because he’s unfair.”
“Unfair? Hey, isn’t he say sorry?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Well, even if he apologizes, it won’t cover the mistakes he made.”
“Ford, my mother said, God knows how to forgive. That’s why we should also learn to forgive.”
“Haist, what are you talking about, Ena! Let’s go, it’s a waste of time if we just talk. Let’s go, let’s go!”
Ena and Ford run. That’s all, they were so happy while chasing that they didn’t notice a dog that just appeared out of nowhere and chased them!
“Run, Ena! There!” Ford taught her a different path from the one he was taking.
She knew what Ford wanted to happen. He wants her to lose track so that the dog can chase him and not her!
“I don’t want to! I won’t leave you. Come on, let’s run!”
When Ford smiled and took Ena’s palm, they both ran off giggling. Well, a few minutes later it was one dog, added by another, and another… it became three!
“Can you climb a mango tree?” Ena asked Ford.
The only safe place is in the mango tree.
“Oh-Yes, go ahead, go up, Ena.” Ford barely pushed Ena to move uphill because the furious dogs were already there, trying to reach them!
Ena followed Ford. But no sooner had he sat comfortably on the higher side of the tree than he heard Ford shout…
“Ahhh!” Ford’s fall to the ground is what Ena looked at. Her eyes widened in horror!
“Foooord!” Just as Ena was about to come down from the tree, she first took a mango fruit to throw at the dogs who were planning to pet Ford even though he was there, landed on the ground and he almost didn’t move when he fell!
“Ena, calm down. Ford has a lot of money. He will be fine.”
“Reyna, you haven’t seen him. It’s like… he’s not breathing anymore…”
“I’M HAPPY to know you’re okay, Ford. Redd Ford,” Euna said softly to herself as she remembered that one memory from part of her youth.
Youth where Red was already there. Did she think that this was the boy? She sipped the coffee in front of her.
She is working tonight on what Venus orders so Euna can’t help but remember Red.
Red and their bittersweet memories together.
“I don’t know why there’s an argument with me now even though I know that I did the right thing because that’s what I knew was the right thing to do,” Euna said in the air. In front of her laptop where she can see the image of a Ford car.
Then Euna glanced at her phone which was also lying on the table.
How are you Red?
Is he still contacting her even though he knows she has changed her number?
He’s rich, is it possible that he would find her? Well, if that is so, why hasn’t he been at the door of her house until now?
“I’m going to sleep, Euna, are you okay if you’re the only one here?” Reyna yawned in her stupor at the screen of her laptop that she bought second hand from an acquaintance.
“Are my kids asleep?”
“Of course. It was a while ago. Nica said goodbye to you that they will go to the mall tomorrow before they go home to her father in law, right, so Arabella went to bed early.”
Yes she remembered. It seems like never before. Before they couldn’t leave without her, now they can go for a walk by themselves.
“Alright, go to bed first. I’ll just finish it.”
“Alright…” Reyna answered while yawning again.
Euna let out a sigh when Reyna left.
Now that she couldn’t understand what was happening to herself, she thought…
“I have to return the one million. I have to meet with Don Vladimir again. Maybe it’s because of this one million that I can’t be quiet…”
But what about his neighbors on the railroad?
What is she talking about?
Ah, Euna didn’t think she could make a decision that would destroy her sanity.
“I’ll return the money, yes, that’s right. I won’t return to his grandson’s life. I’ll ask for the land on the railroad to be the replacement for my return of one million, bringing his grandson out of the conversation between the two of us.”
Maybe the don will agree?
Damn, how sure is she?
Then she realized her fingers were searching Henson Builders Corp. even the fire that took the lives of her family…
“DOC, what is my illness? How many months will I last?”
The doctor laughed at what his patient said. “You’re not going to die yet. You’re a bad weed.”
“Aldrin, I’m not joking with you,” Vincent couldn’t help but speak to his doctor and call him by his real name.
Aldrin was one of his classmates in college.
“Neither am I, Vincent Henson. Alright, it’s a brain tumor. Stage 3.”
“Uhm, ‘Pa? -Doc Faustino, if the patient you’re talking about needs me, I’ll be right there in the cafeteria,” Aldrin and Vincent were interrupted by another doctor who slipped through the opening of the opened door after knocking twice.
Aldrin just nodded at the other doctor. The young doctor who called him ”Pa” immediately left after apologizing to them.
“Is that your son Alfa?”
“Uh-huh,” the doctor replied simply.
Doc Aldrin is a friend of the patient in front of him now, so somehow he is careful about what he says to her because he doesn’t want her to get hurt even more after hearing about the pain. That’s why fate showed his son here. A son that Vincent Henson was never blessed with, even one.
“Alright, I guess, I’ll go first,” said Vincent, standing up and shaking Aldrin’s hand. “It’s great to know that your son has become a doctor.”
“Yeah, he’s a pedia doctor.”
“IT’S so envious,” Vincent said to himself like a child as he was walking out of the hospital he came from.
Because he never once wished to have a child. Son that the barren like him will never have.
He laughed secretly, he was barren, he still had a tumor. Son of bad luck!
Or, is it bad luck?
Vincent only laughed harder as he walked out of St. Jude Hospital. How can he not laugh, he knows very well that all the things he went through and is going through are nothing but what they call karma.
He made whatever is happening to him now. Not destiny. All the bad things he did in the past have boomeranged on him, yes, now he realizes all that. That’s why he begs Red to help him at least reduce his nightmares.
At least reduce it to the end. Before everyone gets caught up in the-
“Sorry, excuse me!” Vincent was hurriedly apologized by someone who bumped into his shoulder and disturbed his quiet walk.
He immediately recognized the doctor who ran into him, it turned out to be Aldrin’s son.
Vincent’s eyes immediately widened when he understood why the doctor was rushing to walk-he planned to save a child who was in danger!
“The child!”
“My God!”
Vincent could barely hear the commotion around him, his feet also voluntarily ran towards the imminent accident that would end the life of a kid- the kid will be hit by a big truck that when Vincent looks at it, looks like the truck driver has no brakes or the brakes are broken! Even his horn!
“Doc! Just wait for the kid and took her so she doesn’t fall on the concrete!” That was Vincent’s last shout to Doc Alfa.
To Doc Alfa that he pushed with strength so that he could save him with the child who did not want to leave the hem of the doctor’s coat.
He replaced them.
If dying with a saved person can reduce the sins he committed while he was alive, he will wholeheartedly accept that death.
“I’m sorry, God…”
“I’M not in the mood to get involved in arranging my birthday, Haya. Actually, I’m not in the mood to have a celebration on my birthday,” Red told his cousin Haya boredly.
He just let her chase him to the elevator.
“You’re so boring, Red! It’s so bad, birthdays only come once!”
Red just glanced lazily at Haya.
“Even if I can go with… Euna? You really don’t want to?”
Red smirked. “She won’t come, believe me.”
“Huh? Well, what? Are you just going to let her go?”
“That’s all she thought. That I’ll just let her go. Because even if Granpops offers him ten million more and he accepts it over and over again, it’s never going to happen that I’ll just let her go.”
