Chapter 56
It’s been two weeks already, and the haunt for Jayden is still on. The cops are looking for him and his gang members everywhere, but they can’t get a hold of him. The cops have tried every possible means to track down his location, but it’s just not working.
Richmond have also been trying to reach Harley, but all effort proves abortive. Jayden is still on sick bed and dying slowly. He has lose weight and almost all his hair has been lost already. Alex on the other hand, have been trying all his best to get the person that poisoned his friend, while still looking for a way to save him.
Samir on the other hand is still doing all he can, to get Harley regardless of her pregnancy. He doesn’t care if she’s pregnant or not. He just want her to himself and that’s all that matters to him.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
As usual, Harley is sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at Jayden with his eyes closed. He has been like this for almost one month, he’s neither alive nor dead. Seeing him in this condition hurts her heart deeply and she regrets handling this the wrong way in the first place. It’s difficult to turn herself in and confess that she was the one that poisoned him. Alex won’t spare her and the baby, no matter how difficult it’ll be.
A lot of doctors has been summoned already and paid huge amount of money, but none of them could cure him as they all keep saying the same thing. The poison has now taken over all his body, but he’s yet to die.
Staring at his pale and almost lifeless body lying pathetically on the bed, tears streams down her cheeks as waves of guilt washes through her. ‘Don’t pay evil with evil, because you may end up regretting it’ those are the words her parents won’t ever stopped telling her when they were still alive.
“Ha… Harl…” His finger suddenly moves as he whispers in muffled breaths. Tears trickles down the corner of his eyes as he struggles to breath.
“Jay… Jay are you awake?” With her trembling hands, she reaches out to his hand and hold it firmly, more tears finding their way out of her eyes. Her heart wrenches in pain.
Slowly, he manages to open his eyes, but his vision is blur. It gladdens his heart to see Harley when he wake up, but knowing that he would die soon, it hurts him deeply. He tries to move his hand, but they feel so weak, his joints hurts badly. His eyes slowly falls on her stomach that’s already protruding slightly, and a dry smile curves in his lips. Seeing the baby still growing there, somehow gives him hope.
“Although you’ve hurt me in the past, I wanted to avenge my family, but then will it bring themback? Will it erase the painful memories and heal the scar in my heart that has been existing for many years? Will it make me hate you, when my heart already choose you? Will it ever deny you the truth of being the father of my unborn child? I thought I could hold on, but it’s barely one month, and I’m losing it already. I shouldn’t have hurt you this badly… I should’ve given you another punishment if it was necessary…” Tears slid down her cheeks as she slowly squeezes his hand tenderly while saying those words within herself.
“It… it… hu… rt…” He groans slightly as more tears trickles down his eyes. His whole body feels as though they’ve been set on fire. He so much want to toss on the bed, but it’s hard to move his body, he’s just too weak to do it. This is exactly the kind of pain she wanted to make him go through, but now she hates herself for putting him through it.
“Do you want me to get you some water?” She touches his forehead and wipes off the tears from his cheeks. He slowly shakes his head negatively.
“Harley… I… I… do… n’t want to die…” He shakes his head slowly as more tears streams down his cheeks. Not that he is never going to die, but he doesn’t want it now. He wants to live to see her give birth to his child, he wants to carry their baby in his hands and watch him smile. He wants to give her all the love and attention that she deserves. In all, he wants to live to fulfill his promise to her…
Richmond Hill
“You can’t blame her, can you? She loves him…”
“Don’t tell me that, please! How can she still love the man that caused her so much pain? How can she still be in love with that monster that took away her whole family, changed her into someone else and turned her into the person she never dreamt of becoming?…”
“And how do can you still love her even after finding out that she betrayed you, huh? You’ve done more than enough by exposing him to the police and now they’re still trying to hunt him down. Are you angry because of what happened in the past, or because you feel like he took away the woman you fell in love with? What’s wrong with you, Richmond?” Craig fires back at me, and I sigh. As much as I want to avenge the death of my wife, it hurts me deeply that she still loves him even after everything. Yes, I hate him for what happened in the past, but I want to see him suffer behind bars for the rest of his life, for taking away the woman I love.
“Think straight. You’re going to hurt many people if you take this decision. Think about how your son will feel if he finds out in the future that the woman he loves so much and calls his mom was hurt by you. Your action can sentence Harley to jail, and I bet that you’ll spend the rest of your life regretting it. Yes, I know she betrayed you, but she realized her mistake. You should stay out of this and let her make her decision. It was her family that got killed, her parents, her sister and her identity. It’s up to her if she still wants to be with that same person that had hurt her,” Craig further says, and I sigh softly. He’s right, after all. But I’m never going to give up on this. Never! I’ll make sure that I find him, and send him to jail, where he belong to…
