86Marissa sat at the hospital in Martin's ward, scrolling through her phoneShe kept reading all the news about Martin being hospitalizedThe doctors had done the treatments and probably stitched his head or something but Marissa felt it was taking too long for him to be awake Mrs Williams and Catherine had gone back to work and Axel had gone back home to pick up some clothes for MarissaIt has been 17 hours now and Martin was not yet awakeThey were not so sure he would be awake for the next two days and with that, Marissa was told to stay with him until he regains consciousnessIt was not an easy task to sit and watch over someone you almost killed but in order for them to feel her repenting, She had no option than to do thatShe sighed as she stared at his faceIn deed, something was missingWhy should she be the one staying and watching over him in the hospital when he has a familyThat was indeed weird to MarissaNow that she thinks about it, no one has visited him in the hospi

88Colin sat on the floor in his room, SquirmingIndeed he felt sorry for not telling anyone except Jenny and EmeraldAnd to be more precised, those two found out on their ownBut he was also embarrassedKnowing fully well no one will look at him the same way againThey might all now think he is abnormal.And now that he thinks about it, why is the only thing his mother ask for whenever she visits him is a chance to explain?What was there to explain again?She obviously sold jewelries and sold them out for moneyThere was proof she didSo what explanation again?Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chestHe groaned as he crawled to his table to take the drugs but the little container fell and rolled under his king sized bedWasn't life frustrating enough?Why did this have to happen at a moment when he desperately needs the drugsHe covered his mouth with a small towel as he felt the urge to coughAnd as expected, the moment he removed the towel, it was stained with bloodHe tried hi

Are you upset because I didn't call you last night?" Ariana whinedAs if,He never picks up her call even if she calls a hundred times.So why would be upset because she didn't call?He would rather be happy.But judging by her speaking tone, it seems she has not found out about him having lung cancer and getting ready to die in less than three yearsIf she knew that, wouldn't she have run back to her mom, whining and crying like a little kid who does not want to go to school.Would she
