Chapter 451 - Is This What It Feels Like?

Before speaking, Zio looked at Qiara sadly, after that his lips pursed and his tears slowly came out. 

"Honey, why are you crying?". Qiara asked frantically as she wiped the tears that fell down Zio's cheeks. 

"Grandma is in the hospital, Papa said he will not come home now, but I want to see grandma because I feel sorry for her". Zio replied with trembling lips.

Qiara's heart became restless when she heard what Zio said, even though her child is smart, she knows that her child has a side that cries easily. 

"We will go tomorrow, now it's night and Zio must sleep. Does Zio want to sleep with Auntie?". Qiara asked doubtfully.

Zio immediately nodded, he was really sad because she also loved her grandmother. Qiara also wanted to see the state of her mother-in-law, but she could not possibly come because it would definitely annoy her mother-in-law. 

"I want aunt". Zio answered. After that, he embraced Qiara with his soft little body. Instantly Qiara was surprised because this was the first time Zio hugged her warmly. 

"Geez ... My son hugged me, so this feels like being a mother who is loved by her child? But, how long will Zio call me aunt? I really want to hear him call me Mama. Is this a punishment for me?". Inner Qiara while shedding tears.

Qiara's heart ached, she regretted that she once hated Zio's presence in her womb. Now, she had to accept the fact that Zio didn't want to acknowledge her existence as his mother.

The child she didn't want before now makes her beg to be called by Mama.

After that, Qiara took Zio to wash his feet and brush his teeth before they went to sleep. 

Zio's room.

"Honey, sleep yes!". Qiara said after they were on the bed. 

Instantly Zio closed his eyes, then he spoiled Qiara with his little hands. 

"Usually Papa will hug me when I'm sad, so can I ask to be hugged!". Zio asked while looking up at Qiara's face. 

"Why do you have to ask dear? Without you even asking, Mama will hug you, even until morning". Inner Qiara while shedding tears again.

"Auntie why are you crying again? Is Zio's request heavy?".

"Who said heavy? Aunt is sad to remember grandmother in hospital. Yes, you sleep and aunt will hug you until you wake up again. Okay!". Qiara replied quickly before Zio misunderstood her even more.

"Yes". After that Zio closed his eyes, he soon fell asleep soundly. Instantly Qiara kissed Zio's face greedily.

Just then, her cell phone vibrated, at that instant Qiara took her cellphone on the small table which was quite close to Zio's bed.

Seeing the caller ID, Qiara immediately shifted the green icon on her cell phone because it was Julian.

"Hello dear..". Julian's soft voice came from across the phone.

"Where are you? Is Mama good news!". Qiara asked in a whisper so as not to wake Zio. 

"I'm on my way to the police station, I want to see Papa. About Mama, she's getting better. Nathan is accompanying her there. Oh yes, how about Zio? Is he sleeping?".

"Zio has just slept, and now I'm accompanying him in his room. Earlier, he was very sad because he knew Mama was in the hospital. Fortunately, he did not nag to be taken to the hospital!". Qiara explained in a weak voice.

"Thank you honey because you already want to accompany Zio, now you sleep, so that tomorrow you can shoot well".

Qiara was silent for a moment, she was a little offended by Julian's words of gratitude. 

"Honey, are you still there?". Asked Julian.

"Yes, I will rest now. You are careful on the road!".

"Yes".

After that Julian hung up the call, immediately Qiara pouted because Julian had really offended her. Even so Qiara did not want to extend it because she knew that Julian was having a lot of thoughts and problems. 

"Julian, you shouldn't say thank you, because Zio is also my son. I have to take care and protect him from getting hurt and sad. But, I realize that I'm not a teenager anymore who has to whine about things that are not important. I better sleep now". 

After thinking about it, Qiara immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep beside Zio while hugging him.

But she woke up again when she heard the vibrate of her cellphone, immediately Qiara opened her eyes again because she was worried if it was Julian. 

"Ummm ... Unknown number, who is this?". Qiara asked herself after seeing the new number. 

Out of curiosity, Qiara immediately picked it up. 

"Hello, who is this?". Qiara asked in an equally faint voice. 

"Hello my sister".

Qiara opened her eyes perfectly when she recognized the voice. Yes, the voice belongs to Helena who is her half sister. 

"Helena ...?".

"Yes, it's me. Oh yes, can you guess where I was?". Helena answered. 

"What do you want?". Qiara asked sarcastically. 

"Hahaha ... I didn't think that you were very perceptive. Alright, I'll tell you that I was in Flory Palace on the 70th floor. Here the view is so beautiful that I don't want to go out". Helena said as she looked out the window proudly.

Qiara could not speak while whispering with Helena, he immediately got out of bed after releasing Zio's hug. 

Not long after, Qiara walked out of the room and sat in the living room. 

"Don't talk much anymore, say what you want so you call me at night like this!". Said Qiara who did not want to make small talk with Helena. 

"All right, if you want to know what I want then you have to see me tonight! If not, you will know what crazy thing I'm going to do". Helena said in a terrible voice. 

Qiara was silent for a moment because she couldn't possibly leave Zio, but she also couldn't ignore Helena if she didn't want Helena to do something crazy. 

"Fine, I'll come".

"Good then. But, you must remember not to tell anyone about our meeting, including your ex-husband!". Helena said. 

Even though Helena knew that Qiara was Julian's ex-wife, she closed the meeting on the truth because she didn't want the media to catch up with Qiara and then make Qiara famous right away. 

However, Helena did not know that Qiara and Julian had returned to live together.
