His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“It’s not your fault Ky, I have a mistake also. So I have to ask forgiveness also from you.”

“Thank you, Ley, and you don’t need to ask forgiveness.”

“Can you promise me you get well, so we can get back together?”

“I don’t want to live, Ley, it doesn’t matter if I fight. My baby is gone and Vince is gone.”

“Don’t say that, Ky.”

“Can I ask you something,”

“Tell me.”

“Take care of Hunter and tell him that I am not mad at him. I am the one to blame for all this happened, to us, and hopefully, he will forgive me for what I did to him.”

“I will, promise.”

“There’s another one.” She smiled at me full of sadness. “Can I see Ulysses?” I nod at her.

“Yes, I’ll take him to you.” I caressed her face then stood up. “Wait for us and I’ll take Ulysses to you now,” I said then left the room.

I don’t want to prolong Ulysses and Kyla’s meeting. I don’t want to think about it but from what I can see in Kyla’s appearance it looks like she really has no desire to live. It looks like she will leave us anytime and I don’t want that to be one of my regrets.

When I got to Ulysses’s room I first talked to Eugene and daddy about what Kyla wanted to happen. At first, Eugene hesitated but later I convinced him. He even took a wheelchair for

Ulysses so we could take him safely to Kyla’s room.

When we entered, Kyla’s face immediately lit up when she saw Ulysses and she did nothing but cry and cry. Until we come closer to her bed.

“Baby, she’s aunt Kyla, mommy’s best friend.” Ulysses smile then held Kyla’s hand.

“Hello aunt Kyla,” he greeted. “Why are you crying, are you sad?” Instead of answering, Kyla touched Ulysses’s face and stared into his eyes. He kissed Ulysses’s eyes while crying. It was as if my heart was paining so I grabbed Eugene.

“Thank you, Ley. Thank you so much,” Kyla said while crying.” Eugene, I’m sorry for everything, I hope you can forgive me too,” she said while looking at Eugene.

“There is no room for anger in my heart Ky, I appreciate and love you back then. I forgive you and I am sorry also.”

“Thank you. Please take care of them.”

“I will,” Eugene replied.

Kyla hugs Ulysses and seems she couldn’t be removed as she continued to cry and caress Ulysses’s eye.

“Auntie, my eyes are daddy Vince’s eyes,” Ulysses said proudly. “Do you know him, auntie?” Ulysses asked.

“Yes, he’s someone special.”

“Ow, but sad to say, he is not here. He goes somewhere.” Ulysses said sadly.

“Don’t be sad, do you want to say something to him?” Kyla asked so Ulysses and then looked at me then look at Uly again.

“You will go with him?” Kyla nodded. “Can I come? I want to visit him, please.” Kyla shook her head and caressed Ulysses’s head.

“Children are not allowed there,” she said smiling. “What do you want me to tell him?” she asked.

“I just want to thank him for giving me his eyes, and also I want to say that I missed him and I love him.”

“Granted, promise I will tell, but you have to promise me one thing,” Kyla said then looked at me.

“What?”

“You will be a good boy like daddy Vince?” Ulysses smiled.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“I will.”

“And you have to take care of your mommy and love her as daddy Vince did,”

“Yes, I love mommy so much.”

“Good, he will be proud of you.” Ulysses and Kyla hugged, Kyla was so grateful to me and keep saying thanks to me and Eugene.

THE NEXT DAY a nurse informed us that Kyla is dead. It hurts because we weren’t given a chance to reconcile the way we use to be. But, I am happy that before she left we already forgive each other. I just hope that she and Vince reconcile in Paradise.

“Ley, I think this is for you.” Eugene handed me a letter.

This is the letter that Vince gave me back then at Hunter’s beach house. I looked at Eugene first, he nodded at me as if told me to read so I opened the letter.

Ley,

Forgive me for what I did to you. I know there is no forgiveness in what I did, But I still hope that you will forgive me one day. I love you, Ley, I thought when I loved others then I would forget you but I was wrong.

Because when I see you again I realized that you are still my heart wanted. Thank you, because you love our son and let him live even though you didn’t know who his father is.

I will not ask you to introduce me to him as his father. But hopefully, he will recognize me as someone who loves him and can give everything for him. I’m happy to see you both ok and both happy. I will cherish my child’s hugs in the next life and his smile. Until my next life, I will bring my only love to both of you.

Wherever I am, I will watch over you both. Please tell Eugene, thank you for taking care of you and my son. I love you, Ley, you are the first and last woman I loved and will remain my true love until the next life.

Vince,

I immediately wiped away the tears after I read Vince’s letter to me.

‘Goodbye, Vince, and thank you for loving me. I promise to take care of Ulysses. The living witness of your love for me.’

I will wait for the right time to tell Ulysses everything about Vince. I will slowly explain to my son the truth. There is no more room in my heart for anger and I want to forget all the painful things that have happened.

I am happy now that everything has been resolved. My son’s identity has been clarified and the truth of the past has been included. Even if I go on with my life I still carry the memory of the past, sadness, and happiness.

I can’t deny that the people who have been a part of that remembrance are people I once valued and loved.

I will get up and this time I knew I could get through it all. I only have one thing to deal with now.

That is my love for Hunter that has never been lost.

The love that made my life chaotic and made me brave.

The love that never faded despite what I went through even when I was broken, even they will call me THE MARTYR.
